Chapter 56: The logic of the crime
Lin Chu didn't get up until nine o'clock the next morning.
His workout program lasted only one day before it failed.
But this is also better than Xu Minghao.
Last night, Xu Minghao planned on the phone to drive to the provincial capital at eight o'clock today.
As a result, there has been no call yet.
It means that he hasn't even gotten out of bed yet.
Lin Chu was lying on the bed, and his stomach began to growl, so he decided to go downstairs to have breakfast to fill his stomach first.
As he walked down the street, he passed a telephone pole when he suddenly stopped, then took a few steps back and returned to the pole.
Because at that moment just now, he seemed to see a missing person notice in his spare eye, and the photo on the notice was a little familiar to him.
Looking back, isn't the girl in the photo the beautiful girl I met last night?
He was still thinking in his heart, it was only one night later, and the girl's family posted a missing person notice?
But looking at the date in the lower right corner, it turned out to be posted five days ago.
Five days ago?
But didn't the girl tell herself last night that she had just run away from home after a quarrel with her family?
So why was the missing person notice posted five days ago?
Lin Chu felt that maybe the girl had lied to herself.
But the most important thing now is to contact the girl's family as soon as possible and tell them not to worry, the girl is at her grandmother's house.
Lin Chu took out his mobile phone and dialed the contact number on the notice.
"Hey, who's that?"
The voice of a very indifferent middle-aged man came from the other end.
"Hello, I saw your missing person notice......"
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Lin Chu was stunned for a moment, why did the other party have such an attitude? When he heard that he was talking about the missing person notice, not only did he not care at all, but he directly interrupted his words.
But he still said with restraint: "I saw the girl you were looking for yesterday." ”
"Yesterday? Hahahaha......" The other end of the phone suddenly laughed, but there was some sadness in the laughter, "Do you think our money is so easy to cheat?" ”
"Sir, please be reasonable, I'm not here for your bounty, I'm really seeing that girl." Lin Chu was really a little angry.
"Okay, tell me where she is now?"
"At her grandmother's house."
"Her grandmother's house? Did you know that her grandparents have been dead for ten years? ”
Lin Chu was very shocked: "This ...... How is this possible! ”
"And I tell you again, I am the father of the girl, and I saw my daughter yesterday afternoon, in the morgue!"
Mortuary?
Lin Chu's back was cold suddenly, didn't that mean that when he saw that girl yesterday, she was actually dead?
But no, I didn't perceive the corpse qi of the dead corpse on her body, nor did I feel the yin qi of the ghost.
This...... What the hell is going on?
"Sir, may I ask what happened to your daughter?"
"Humph!"
The other side snorted angrily and hung up the phone.
He was reluctant to talk more about the cause of his daughter's death.
It was like a scar in his heart.
Was last night's girl a human or a ghost, alive or dead? If he didn't understand this matter, Lin Chu's heart was very unsteady.
So he gave Wang Hai a call to inquire with the mentality of giving it a try.
"You said the girl named Ma Xiaoxiao on the missing person notice? I know that it was we who told his family to come and claim the body. ”
"Captain Wang, how the hell did she die?"
"Skinned after being fascinated."
"She's also a victim of skinning?"
"Yes."
Lin Chu's back was faintly cold, if that girl was killed and skinned a few days ago, then who was the girl who looked exactly like her last night?
"Captain Wang, I suggest you go and check the Shuanghu community in Xiawan District, there may be clues you want."
"Twin Lakes Community? Brother Lin, you're not kidding us, are you? ”
"Captain Wang, what do you mean by that?"
"Because the developer of Shuanghu Community cut corners and shoddy, so that eighteen years ago, that is, in 00 years, the community was delivered to the owner for just over a year, and there was an elevator failure, resulting in more than a dozen deaths, and it didn't take long for a major hidden danger of the building tilting. Therefore, the city government ordered the demolition and demolition, and the residents were also relocated to other places. ”
"Demolition by blasting...... Does that mean that there is not even a single building in the Shuanghu community now? ”
"Yes, now a hospital has been built there, which is the Third People's Hospital in Xia Wan."
Lin Chu suddenly felt a little scared that he had been taken to a place that had been demolished a long time ago by a person who had died a long time ago last night......
What exactly is she trying to do?
Lin Chu still felt that something was wrong.
Last night's girl, it didn't look like a corpse, it didn't look like a ghost.
So what's going on with her?
Just as Lin Chu was pondering, two elementary school students wearing red scarves and carrying schoolbags suddenly came from behind.
As they walked, they were discussing a popular mobile game on the market.
"Yesterday I drew a super awesome character skin!"
"Cut, isn't it just a set of skins, in addition to looking good when you wear it, there is no attribute bonus."
"You know a fart, good looks are combat effectiveness. Nowadays, it's all about appearance, even in the game, you wear the most primitive character skin, and no matter how skilled you are, people won't necessarily notice you. ”
……
Listening to the discussion of the two elementary school students, Lin Chu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then his hairs stood on end.
Skin! Skin! That's right! It's the skin!
The real girl, Ma Xiaoxiao, died a few days ago, but I saw her last night!
That "she" is actually the murderer!
The secret to the two of them looking exactly the same is skin!
Whether the murderer is now a human, a ghost or some other demon and spirit, Lin Chu is still not sure.
The only thing he was sure of was that the murderer killed Ma Xiaoxiao, stripped her skin, and then used a certain method to put on Ma Xiaoxiao's skin to make her look exactly like Ma Xiaoxiao!
Because the shelf life of a skin is limited, the murderer needs to constantly commit murder and skin.
And you need to apply a very thick perfume to hide the blood and decay of the skin on your body.
This is also the reason why there was such a strong fragrance on Ma Xiaoxiao's body last night.
Lin Chu is now beginning to think seriously about what the fake "Ma Xiaoxiao" last night wanted to do when he brought himself to a non-existent community.
Obviously, she wanted to kill herself, and then skin herself!
That huge suitcase is probably going to be used to throw yourself away......
As for why she chose herself.
Lin Chu's mind at this time came to the Maserati supercar.
In order to determine whether his thoughts were accurate, he asked Wang Hai, who had not hung up on the phone: "Captain Wang, are the deceased in the skinning case half of men and women, the men are all driving luxury cars, and the women are all big beauties?" ”
"Brother Lin, I told you the number yesterday morning, but how did you know the number in the back, and how did you calculate it?"
"In short, the murderer will definitely commit the crime tonight, and her target this time is the man who drives a luxury car, so in the early hours of midnight, you focus on monitoring the secluded road, and target the woman who looks like Ma Xiaoxiao on the street with a suitcase."
Lin Chu told Wang Hai all his suggestions, hoping that the police could catch the murderer.
When it was determined that the number of men and women of the deceased was half of the total, the man was a tyrant who drove a luxury car, and the woman was a young and beautiful beauty, Lin Chu determined the logic of the murderer's crime:
The murderer put on the human skin of a beautiful woman, lured the luxury car driver to take the bait, and after killing the luxury car driver, he peeled off the driver's human skin and became a luxury car driver. Then he went to lure the beautiful woman on the side of the road to get into a luxury car and kill her, peeled off the skin of the beauty, turned into a beauty, and seduced the luxury car driver......
Repeating the cycle, repeating between the two identities.
This is also why the number of victims is half of the male and female, and as Wang Hai said before, the murderer killed a man, and then killed a woman.
Regardless of whether the murderer is a human being or a demon in the city, Lin Chu feels that this case is extremely strange from the murderer's logic to the modus operandi.
He began to wonder why the murderer had let him go last night.
Until he recalled a detail.
