Case 7: Painted Skin 4

When Jiang Tian arrived at the scene, the on-site evidence collection work of the tattoo parlor had been completed, and Xu Jiaxin's body happened to be carried out.

Xu Jianqiang sat paralyzed on the ground, grabbed the feet of the policeman carrying the body bag, and wailed: "Son, my son, don't leave me!" It's all my fault, I shouldn't have gone into the basement, oh my God, it's all my fault, don't take my son with you, please! ”

Jiang Tian's nose was sour, he couldn't bear to see this scene, and walked into the store quickly, bypassing them.

"Xiaotian, you're finally here." Shen Sen saw Jiang Tian enter the house and hurriedly stepped forward, "I called Xu Ang two hours ago, why did you go?" ”

"Well, I went out for a walk." Jiang Tian replied absentmindedly, "Officer Li, what's the matter?" ”

Li Yu sighed, "After listening to your analysis in the bureau just now, I came here to investigate that kid." But as soon as I entered the door, I saw Xu Jiaxin's miscellaneous people who wanted to kill people! In a hurry, he didn't think much about it, so he shot him twice. ”

"Hmm." Jiang Tian nodded, and then asked, "What is the situation in the basement that Xu Jianqiang said outside just now?" Murder scene? ”

"Yes, although the basement has been cleaned, our men still found a little blood. Moreover, we found two human skins wrapped in plastic wrap on Xu Jiaxin's hands, and the shape matches the missing skin of the two victims, so it should be able to do the same certification. And we also found a diary in the new house of the Xu family. ”

Shen Sen said, leaving for a moment, and brought a diary.

Jiang Tian roughly flipped through it:

…… Xiaowen, I miss you so much, three years ago I promised you that you must be admitted to the medical graduate school of Z University, we agreed to hold hands together by the Huajia Pool, and now I have done it, but you are gone......

…… Xiaowen, I saw you, I saw that the tattoo on the woman's back was exactly the same as yours, I knew it was you, you are back, right? I know she must have been a surprise gift from you......

…… Xiaowen, do you know how happy I am now? Touching it, I feel like I'm touching you again......

…… Xiaowen, I saw your favorite rose today, you wait, I'll get it for you soon, she must be happy to be friends with you, you wait......

Jiang Tian closed the diary.

Shen Sen and Li Yu couldn't help sighing.

"I think I finally know why he killed someone." Jiang Tian said.

"Psychological disorder, obviously, after the death of Xu Jiaxin's girlfriend, it was caused by excessive longing." Li Yu said.

"That's half right."

"Huh?"

"The psychological barrier is good, but I'm not talking about Xu Jiaxin, but the skin-peeling maniac three years ago!"

"Li Mi?" Shensen asked.

"I suddenly remembered a story, the story goes like this: According to legend, in ancient times, there was a demon who could take on a human form and lack a human face. To take the face of others, to put it above oneself, to make up for it with human blood, to become a human being. This person's face is no different from that of ordinary people, and at night it turns into powder. This demon is unwilling, looking for the face of others, so following the past, harming countless people. ”

"Painted skin? Sounds like that. Shensen said.

"It's not the story of "Painted Skin", but it's pretty much the same, and I don't know where it came from."

"Listening to your story, I think the demons in the past were also very hard to be human, haha!" Li Yu said with a smile.

"yes." Jiang Tian looked at Li Yu and said, "Actually, there are many things that are interconnected and incredible throughout the ages. In the past, there were demons and ghosts who fought to be human beings, and they did not hesitate to mutilate the lives of others and paint their own skin. As for the current people, they actually become demons and ghosts, painting themselves layer after layer of masks to cover their faces. ”

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Jiang Tian didn't answer immediately, but looked at the diary in his hand, "This Xu Jiaxin is very pitiful, if it weren't for the murderer three years ago, there would not be such a tragedy now." I didn't understand why the murderer skinned people, but now I do. If Xu Jiaxin killed because of a psychological disorder, then the murderer three years ago should be the same. ”

Shen Sen and Li Yu both looked at Jiang Tian and did not speak.

"Actually, since I was involved in this case, my focus has been on the peeling case three years ago. When I combed through the Li Mi peeling case in detail, I found several fatal suspicions. ”

"What's the doubt?" Li Yu asked.

"Suspicion one. Just now, when I was watching the surveillance video of the corridor of the fourth deceased's crime scene, I found that Li Mi looked very panicked when he fled the crime scene. I wondered, why was he so flustered? Brother Xu asked me rhetorically: Aren't you panicking when you kill someone? It seems to make sense, but if Li Mi had fled the scene in a hurry like ordinary people after killing someone, so many people would not have died. ”

Shen Sen thought for a while and said: "I understand, if Li Mi is really the murderer, then he would not have chosen to be so swaggering in the hotel when he killed the fourth person, and he hurriedly fled the scene and let the surveillance take pictures." With him fleeing the scene and panicking like that, I'm afraid it is impossible to be so leaky in the first three murders, and there are no clues left! ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Shen, you are really ice and snow smart." Jiang Tian clapped his hands and praised.

"you kid Bingxue smart." Shen Sen scolded with a smile, while Li Yu was silent on the side.

"Suspicion 2 is that in the process of arresting Li Mi, Li Mi shot Xiao Chen, injured Officer Li, and then drilled a hole to escape."

"What's wrong with this?" Li Yu asked.

"What's the problem? Hmph, that's a big problem. Brother Shen, let me ask you, if you are a murderer and know that a large number of police are coming to arrest you outside, and you don't want to be arrested, and there is an escape route at the same time, do you run away regardless of 3721, or risk being shot on the spot, kill a few policemen first and then escape? ”

"Nonsense, just run first."

"Li Yu, what about you? Would you do what Mi Lee did? Jiang Tian looked at Li Yu and asked.

"Maybe, yes."

"Haha, you're really weird." Jiang Tian laughed.

"Didn't you just say that Li Mi might have a psychological disorder? It's not unusual to behave at all. Li Yu stared at Jiang Tian and said.

"Uh, Li Yu, you misunderstood, I mean that the murderer has a psychological disorder, not Li Mi."

"What do you mean?"

"Hmph." Jiang Tian sneered and continued, "With these two doubts, I began to make a bold guess: If the murderer back then was not Li Mi, then who was it? If Li Mi is not the murderer, then the so-called escape from the hotel murder scene and the shooting of the policeman should be a play directed and acted by the real murderer. ”

Li Yu looked at Jiang Tian silently, and Shen Sen was also keenly aware of some clues and began to pay attention to Li Yu.

"Well, I have a relatively reasonable assumption. The murderer of the year killed and skinned due to psychological disorders, and then found out for some reason that he wanted to get lost and become a new person, so he found Li Mi as a substitute for the dead ghost, asked him to go to the scene of the murder, let him carry the black pot of the murderer, and then secretly get rid of Li Mi, and then formulated a so-called plan to catch the murderer. The murderer should have bought a black gun and used it to kill Xiao Chen by surprise when he and police officer Xiao Chen entered Li Mi's house. The cave of Li Mi's house is connected to the underground sewers of the city, and it is believed that it is relatively easy to arrange the illusion that Li Mi did not come out again after entering the house to blind the eyes of Li Mi's neighbors. Then the murderer injured himself and deceived everyone with a bitter trick. The so-called bloodstains left by Li Mi who fled after being 'shot' at the scene, as well as the human skin in the house, were all arranged by the murderer early in the morning, right, Captain Li? ”

"Assuming it's all you assume, what about the evidence?" Li Yu looked at Jiang Tian, his eyes were extremely cold.

Shen Sen believed in Jiang Tian, so he was now highly vigilant against Li Yu, and his hands were already close to the pistol on his waist at some point.
