My father died when my mother was just two months pregnant with me, birth, old age, sickness and death are common, everyone may sigh that your father left early enough, but if I say that my father's death is the biggest unsolved case in our past 20 years, then everyone must want to hear this story.

Twenty-three years ago, to be exact.

That year, my father's human skin was hung on the willow tree with a bent neck at the entrance of the village. The first person who found my father's human skin in the morning is now gone, and when he was alive, the people in the village called him the second fool, and it is said that when the second fool was young, he was not only good-looking, but also very diligent, and he was a great young man. Every day was the first person to work in the fields, and it was because of his diligence that he was the first to discover my father's human skin.

I imagined the scene of the second fool that morning, when he walked out of the village with a hoe on his back, and saw something hanging on the willow tree, and he approached and took it down to see that it was a man who had been skinned alive.

This scene makes people's scalp tingle when they think about it.

It's normal for the real experiencer to be scared silly.

I haven't seen that human skin, but for so many years this incident has been talked about by people on our side, and I know about the situation from outsiders:

The person who peeled off my father's human skin was very professional, and he made a cut from the top of his head and extended down, and his knife skills were extremely skillful, and he peeled off the entire human skin with this opening.

This technique is very similar to what butchers are used to peeling animals that can be sold for money, in order to keep the fur as intact as possible.

The human skin is very intact, but the body is gone, and then the village party secretary of our village walked more than ten miles to the police station in the county town to report to the police, and the three policemen who went out to the police were terrified when they saw this scene, and one of the female policemen even vomited on the spot.

Human life is at stake, so this murder has been a major case since ancient times, and later many police officers came to put martial law nearby, and the reservists who had served as soldiers in several villages were called to look for the body and the scene of the crime but did not find any trace. Skinning naturally bleeds, but no traces of blood were found within a few miles, let alone the flesh left behind after being skinned.

Naturally, the police questioned my family, but there was no clue, my mother said that my father went to bed at night without any abnormality, and she did not know what time he went out at night.

Because my father was skillful in skinning, the police targeted the butchers within a radius of several miles, and arrested and interrogated the butchers in several nearby villages and even those who would normally slaughter livestock.

But their suspicions were eliminated one by one, there was no motive for the crime, and there was no time, basically everyone had an alibi, and finally one of the most experienced butchers on our side said something to the police: "Look at this skinning method, you say that I can kill pigs on weekdays, then it must be possible, but this is under the premise that I have killed pigs for half my life, this is a person, can be peeled so cleanly, how many people do you say he has to peel to be like this?" This man is much more complicated than a pig. ”

The police have worked very this case, and they have been busy with us for more than a month, but there has been no progress in the case.

After that, of course, it became an unsolved case.

When I was in college, I liked to visit the Tianya forum, because this sent the doubts I had been on the Internet, because there were no pictures, many people did not believe the authenticity of my words, but there were also many netizens who believed that I interacted with me, many of which said that vendetta and love killings and other speculations, until one day, a netizen was a person with a phone number who left me a message: This is the same as the boy in red in Chongqing, it is a mysterious means of sacrifice.

This is a version of the answer that I have never heard of, but the moment I saw it, I was attracted by this answer, I immediately replied to this netizen and sent a private message, but he did not appear again, I looked through his account, and the registration time gave me a reply on the same day, and this day was also his last login time.

I dialed the number on his name, but it was empty.

After my father's death, for the peasant family who threw life from the field, my father's death was equal to the collapse of the pillars of the family, which led to my family who was not rich in itself to be even more poor, in desperation my grandfather and my mother gave my eldest brother to the successor, that year my eldest brother was only three years old, the family that passed was said to be a relatively wealthy family, but the couple could not have children, and my eldest brother passed to my family in exchange for three buckets of fine noodles and two bags of osmanthus cake.

After that, my mother carried the banner of the family and took care of my newborn me and my grandfather, who had been in poor health, with one acre and three points of land.

After graduating from university, I responded to the call of the country and returned to our village to become a village official.

On this day, I was mediating a dispute between a villager's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the village committee, when suddenly my neighbor sister-in-law Wang came to call me, she ran out of breath and looked panicked, I asked, "Sister-in-law Wang, what's wrong with you?" What's the matter? ”

"Yezi, go back quickly, your eldest brother is back!" Sister-in-law Wang said.

"My big brother?" I was stunned for a moment.

"It's the big brother you gave away when you were born!" Sister-in-law Wang said.

The family saw that I was on business, so they asked me to go back to work first, after all, it was the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the village, and it was not a matter of being able to mediate for a while.

My mom was standing in the yard with tears in her eyes.

My grandfather was smoking a cigarette.

In front of the two of them, a tall, man-groomed man stood.

The three of them seemed to be awkwardly silent, and I walked over, in fact, I could tell at a glance that this person was my eldest brother, because there were many similarities between the two of us, except that my appearance was more inclined to my mother, and the eldest brother was more like my father. Although I have only seen my dad's appearance from the black and white photos at home, the black and white photos are still enlarged from my dad's ID card.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Yezi, come here." My grandfather pulled me aside.

I looked at the man, he looked at me, his facial features were three-dimensional, he looked very manly, and he smiled at me when he saw me look at him. Naturally, I smiled awkwardly.

"When I sent you out, the family was really poor, we took other people's things, and they also raised you, people have to live according to the rules, have you come back to the ward family?" My grandfather asked, smoking a dry cigarette.

"There's no one at home." The man said.

"What?" Grandpa exclaimed.

"My dad was stoned to death under the mine when I was six years old, my mom remarried after that, I grew up with my grandfather, and last year, my grandfather died of cancer, and before he died, he told me about my life and asked me to come back." The man said.

My mother's tears fell down after listening to it, and I also felt quite uncomfortable, although he was a few words, but I could feel that I was passed out, and I thought it was a big brother who went out to enjoy happiness since I was a child.

After listening to this, my grandfather smoked for a while, and the neighbors were shouting: "Old Yetou, the child has suffered so much, and now that he is back, you can admit it." ”

My grandfather kept thinking about it, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Come back, but I can't be sorry for my old buddy, you passed, just to renew the incense for their old Chen family, this surname can't be changed, you are still surnamed Chen." ”

The man nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After that, I knew that my eldest brother had a very domineering name, Zhongmou, Sun Zhongmou.

Because the family is small, so the eldest brother lives in a room with me, after a day, I have a general understanding of my eldest brother, he talks very little, very calm, and speaks very concisely, the most important thing is that he is very clean, seems to be a very well-behaved person, he did not sleep with me in a bed, it is a bunk on the ground, and every one of his things is placed neatly, which is the same as his person.

My mom has been cooking a table of dishes for the past two days, and I can feel my mom's joy when my eldest brother comes back, but for my mom's concern, the expression on my eldest brother's face has always been as calm as when he came. This embarrassed my mom, and I comforted her and said that it was because of a violent contact, and it was slowly getting better.

My eldest brother stayed at my house for three days. After that, I thought he was leaving, but my mom was also startled and hurried out of the kitchen, and he said to us, "I'm going out to live." ”

"Where to go, there are no hotels here." I asked.

"Go to Sanlitun next door, I bought a house over there." He said.

Sanlitun is the village next door to us, and there are no buildings, he said to buy a house, probably to buy a house in the countryside, I said: "How good it is to live together, since you are back, find a way to buy a homestead in the village and build it yourself." ”

"I live over there, so I'm good at things." He said.

He spoke concisely, but very resolutely, and I told my mother for a long time that he was unmoved, when my grandfather came out with a dry cigarette in his mouth and said, "If the child wants to go, let him go, it's not far anyway." ”

I helped him carry the salute to Sanlitun in the next village, and after I got there, I found out that he actually bought a two-story small building, which is a better house in Sanlitun, I can't help but be a little surprised, the two-story building plus the yard, if you repair it yourself, it will cost about 200,000 yuan, he can buy it so quickly, it is estimated that it cost a lot of money, but I didn't ask much, after all, I am not familiar with this big brother, I can't say big brother, you are so rich or something, right?

The house has been cleaned up by the original family, and the eldest brother's luggage is very small, and after I finish cleaning the bed, I have to open the black box he has been carrying, I think it is his clothes, and I want to help him hang it up.

As soon as my hand touched the box, he suddenly shouted, "Don't move! ”

I was startled, and my hand stopped on the edge of the box, and he looked at me, walked over with a cold look in his eyes, took the box from my hand, and said, "This is something personal." ”

I was embarrassed by his cold words, but I finally gave an explanation this time, who hasn't ordered personal belongings? I smiled and said, "Okay, then you can get it yourself." ”

After doing this, I found it very embarrassing to be alone with him, so I said I was leaving, and he just nodded, and there was no polite word to sit down again.

As soon as I arrived at the village committee, the village chief Chen Qingshan told me mysteriously: "Your eldest brother is rich, buy Chen Daneng's house, that guy asked for 300,000 yuan, and he gave it without blinking!" ”

I smiled and didn't say anything, although the price is high, but it is not high, people will not sell it, I don't care very much about whether the eldest brother has money or not, and I will definitely not dislike it because he has money, but I am a little moved in my heart.

A rich big brother came to recognize us, the family who sent him out back then, the problem is that we are still very poor, which is very rare.

The day after the eldest brother moved in, he put up a flag at the door of his house.

An apricot yellow flag held up by a bamboo pole.

There are three big red letters written on it: Corpse Digger.

This practice is very old-fashioned, to put it bluntly, it is very coquettish, but there is also a kind of ancient hero's style of carrying the flag and doing things.

He said that he went to Sanlitun to do things, but what he wanted to do turned out to be to collect corpses.

But a corpse digger erected a flag, and it suddenly became a joke.
