"It seems to have been written with correction fluid or white paint."

Just as everyone looked at these words and guessed what they meant, several policemen hurriedly ran over like this.

"Oh no." A policeman panted and said to Xu Ang, "Team Xu, there is, there is still ......."

"What else? Don't rush, speak slowly. ”

"And lots and lots of faces, lots and lots of faces!"

There are a lot of faces playing hide and seek in the maple forest.

They hide in the grass or among the leaves.

Some of their faces were half-buried in the soil and laughing, and some were abandoned on the benches and crying.

No one knew what horrible sight he had seen when he was nailed to the trunk, or whether she had been thrown into the trash can and her brow was furrowed by the unbearable stench.

The hooked nose is full of cracks, and the dark skin outlines the coldness.

Thirteen people of different races, different skin tones, different expressions, as dry and crisp as potato chips, all have a sentence written on their faces:

"May my heirs rest in peace."

The seriousness of the case greatly exceeded the imagination of Xu Ang and Jiang Tian.

With so many people being put in this maple forest, who are they and where do they come from?

Because Red Maple Park is not monitored, these issues become completely unknown.

After discussion, the police decided to inform the whole society about the case. Soon, thirteen cases of people from all over the world were found in Hongfeng Park, which made headlines in major newspapers and topped the hot search lists of major news media.

The police offered a large reward to find someone who knew the owner of one of the faces, and asked the diplomats concerned to submit requests for assistance to the ambassadors of various countries in our consulates in order to determine the identity of the foreigners.

It is a pity that after informing the public of the case, no one provided any clues to the police, except for causing a lot of social panic.

According to the medical examiner's report, the most recent of these faces was 13 years ago, and the most distant was more than 25 years, and it was very difficult to identify them.

But Xu Ang didn't want to give up, and still sent a large number of police forces to investigate. All case files of missing persons for more than 10 years have been retrieved from all over the country, hoping to find a clue from them, even if it is a needle in a haystack.

Half a month has passed, and there is still no substantial progress. Came to identify the body, oh no, the face recognition came in waves after waves, but still no face was identified.

Another week later, a surprising and unexpected news came from the consulate of country F in our country.

A black man's face is identified.

The owner of this face turned out to be Eric, a senior military officer who suddenly disappeared 18 years ago in country F!

Provincial Public Security Department, Xu Ang Office.

"Here's all the information about Eric, given to us by the ambassador of country F." Xu Ang handed a file bag to Jiang Tian.

"I'll go, I'm so nervous, a transnational case."

"Xiaotian, don't think about it." Xu Ang patted Jiang Tian on the shoulder, "No matter which country it is, all citizens are equal people, and they are all victims of this case, and we must all work hard to find the murderer and seek justice for any of them." ”

"Okay." Jiang Tian nodded.

"The deceased, Eric, a native of country F and a senior commander of an army, disappeared 18 years ago in the war between country F and country L, and no one was alive or dead." "Because of Eric's prestige in the army before his disappearance, almost all his subordinates and soldiers believed that he had been martyred, so a tomb was erected for him and a grand funeral was held. But in other units, there are many rumors about the disappearance of Eric, some say that he was killed by a shell, and some say that he was captured and collaborated with the enemy to commit treason. ”

"The role model and national hero of the army who died in battle 18 years ago, his face was actually found in China 18 years later. Xiaotian, the complexity and impact of this case are far beyond our imagination, and I can't guarantee how long our provincial public security department can intervene. ”

"Brother Xu, just like you just said, no matter who you are, under different skins are human souls. Let's do what we can do now. ”

"Okay."

According to the information given by the ambassador of country F, the day before Eric's disappearance, the army of country F successfully occupied a small town in country L under his leadership, and a reporter interviewed him on the same day. The next day, just after the newspaper was published, the army launched a surprise attack on another small city twenty kilometers away, and when the casualties were counted after the capture, it was discovered that Eric was missing. ”

Here is a portion of that interview, translated into Chinese for easy reading:

Reporter: It is a great honor to interview the great General Eric.

Eric: Thanks for the compliment, the honor of victory should belong to all soldiers.

Reporter: What does victory mean to you?

Eric: Well, how do you answer that? I thought, oh yes, it means that we can get more land, more wealth, more pride.

Reporter: Thank you, General. I noticed that as your troop commander drove into town, the cries of the children were heartbreaking, and the screams of the women were terrifying. I also noticed that as your army entered the town, a clear stream that flowed through the town turned scarlet, heads floated and sunk in the river of blood, and human skins were stripped and hung by the river to flutter in the wind.

Eric: It's ......

Reporter: And then the fire burned, and the town of 50,000 people became a dead city, is this the victory of the general?

Eric: You know, war is about death and killing.

Reporter: But, the great General Eric, are women and children soldiers?

Eric: They're not soldiers, but they're of a lowly caste, an inferior people.

Reporter: Despicable? Inferior?

Eric: We're fighting to get rid of those who are only worthy of being our slaves but want to be our equals.

Reporter: But......

Eric: Mr. Reporter, I noticed that you are yellow-skinned and dark-haired. You are from the ancient country of the Great East, China, right?

Reporter: So what?

Eric: When we eliminate the inferior country of country L, we will definitely establish a good partnership with honorable China. For you are of noble blood, just like us.

Reporter: No.

Eric: What do you mean?

Reporter: In my eyes, there is no distinction between China, F and L, and we are all equal.

Eric: I'm sorry for your vision.

Reporter: Thank you again to the great General Eric for your time.

Eric: We also look forward to the great China extending a hand of friendship to us.

Reporter: Please rest assured, yes, after you put aside prejudice and discrimination.

Eric: Once again, I'm sorry......

"That is, Eric disappeared the day after this interview."

"From this interview, it is clear that Eric has serious racial discrimination. He disappeared after the release of this interview, and it was not because of his remarks that someone killed him and then killed him. ”

Jiang Tian nodded, "When the murderer peeled off his face, it may be that he wanted to show that different people have lost their skins and are exactly the same inside." ”

"But what about the other faces? Are those people racists? Why are they all in our country? Also, what does that sentence mean? ”

"That sentence, I guess, may have been written to Li Yu and Xu Jiaxin." Jiang Tian said

"Why?"

"Brother Xu, have you forgotten, you said before that Hongfeng Park is the first corpse dumping site of Li Yu's skinning case and Xu Jiaxin's skinning case. The murderer's choice of Red Maple Park as a place to throw his face should have his consideration. For example, to pay tribute to Li Yu and Xu Jiaxin......"

A few minutes later, Xu Ang received a call and learned that another face had been identified.

The face with a distorted expression of fear belonged to the mayor of J City, who had been missing for more than 20 years.
