"Actually, this is a very ordinary case. The migrant worker's name is Zhang Qiang, who followed the private contractor to run the construction site, has no criminal record and no criminal record, and is an ordinary person. He is more introverted and has no hobbies, just likes to drink night beers. One night about a month ago, Zhang Qiang went to drink a night beer alone and never returned. Luo Zhen said eloquently.

According to the investigation, the person's social relationship was very simple, and the co-workers did not notice anything abnormal about his emotions before the incident, and the relatives at home also said that everything was normal. If it is a kidnapping, how can it be possible to kidnap a migrant worker who has no money? Anyway, everyone was confused, but they didn't expect that more than a month later, this Zhang Qiang's body suddenly appeared and died in a car accident. Unexpectedly, in the end, the body was skinned by a forensic doctor..."

After listening to Luo Zhen's words, I lowered my head and began to think, the whole case must not be handled with common sense, but Zhang Qiang is just an ordinary person, and he still has a family, how can he be an alien?

Now there are only two possibilities I can think of, the first Zhang Qiang was kidnapped by aliens and then transformed into a monster; Second, the male corpse was not Zhang Qiang's corpse at all, it was just a copy of Zhang Qiang's appearance.

"What are you thinking?" Luo Zhen pulled me out of my contemplation.

"Has there been a significant increase in disappearances recently?" I looked up at Luo Zhen and asked.

Luo Zhen looked at me and nodded: "How do you know?" I've heard from my colleagues, it's not recent, but there have been a lot more disappearances this year than in previous years. What do you think of? ”

I thought about it for a while, and looked at Luo Zhen with earnest eyes: "Do me another favor." Can you take a look at this information and help me analyze the commonalities and characteristics of these disappearances? ”

Luo Zhen sighed and promised me.

"By the way, hasn't the missing driver been found yet? What kind of person is he? I suddenly remembered and patted my head.

Luo Zhen shook his head: "No, it's weird." It's weird enough to hit someone and abandon the car and run away, and it's still playing evaporation in the world. Like Dali, you can't find it no matter how you look for it. Why are all the people who have anything to do with this man's corpse missing? He said and thought about it himself, until he found my eager gaze, and then continued: "The driver is a woman, named Deng Ying, an ordinary white-collar family lives in the city, that day she had an urgent matter at home to ask for leave to rush back, her hometown is not far from Dengjiapo, presumably too anxious so take a shortcut, and then accidentally hit someone." The records show that there are not many violations, and he is also a very normal and ordinary person with no criminal record. Residents of the neighborhood have asked, but no one has witnessed her. Now it's an open case. ”

After listening, I nodded: "Understood, you can help me find out the characteristics of the disappearance case first!"

On the seventh night of his disappearance, I was sleeping at home when I heard a knock on the door. When I opened it, it turned out to be Luo Zhen, who looked tired and carried a dozen beers.

"Why are you here?" I hurriedly let him in.

"I've been working overtime lately!" Luo Zhen collapsed on the sofa and closed his eyes.

"How?" I opened a can of beer and sat down next to him: "Iron Man is tired too?" How's that about what I asked you to look into? ”

Luo Zhen opened his eyes, sat up a little straighter, and his expression became very serious: "Checked." There are a few strange places, first, the disappearance case presents a temporal regularity, which has been found before, but there is no connection between the missing people, so it cannot be determined as a serial disappearance"

"What is the pattern of time?" I asked.

"Every week, someone goes missing. I can't see it in the short term, but when you stretch the timeline, you can find this pattern, which goes back 10 months. Luo Zhen said.

"What other rules are there?" I hurriedly asked.

"The second is that the vast majority of those who disappear according to the law are at the bottom of society, with no money or status, and many even have no home. Such as homeless, beggars, etc. There are men and women, from young to old, but there are no minors. ”

"No, the female driver and Dali don't meet this condition!" I immediately retorted.

Luo Zhen nodded: "This is indeed the weirdest place. The female driver, Deng Ying, is above the law of time, but she is also a senior white-collar worker and does not meet the characteristics of the missing person's identity. Vigorously even more inconsistent. So my head is bigger, too. By the way, there was a murder the day before yesterday, which was particularly weird, and I thought I should tell you. ”

I sat down closer: "Speak quickly! ”

"There were cleaners who found a body on the edge of the forest park. It can't be said to be a corpse, in fact, it's just a rotten human skin, this human skin..."Luo Zhen paused and was hungry when he said this, and seemed to recall a very uncomfortable thing: "Although the peeling is very complete, the technique is very professional. But it's in tatters, it's like... It was as if someone had blown this human skin into it as a balloon, and then blew it up too much and burst it. Tearing apart, blood splattering! ”

He described it so vividly that I felt like I saw it.

"The reason why I think I should tell you is because the forensic doctor deduced that the person to whom this human skin belonged died in the early morning of the day of the disappearance, and the identity of this person has also been verified, and it is the person at the point of disappearance law who is missing after Zhang Qiang. Yangtze, you say..."

After listening to Luo Zhen's words, I interjected: "The murderer kidnaps a person every seven days and skins this person, this is not a missing case, it is a serial murder case!" ”

Luo Zhen shook his head: "So far, only this human skin corpse has been found. None of the missing persons have been found, except for Zhang Qiang and this person. And Zhang Qiang's human skin was vigorously peeled off. Vigorously obviously can't be some serial murderer. ”

I was firm in my thoughts, in fact, everyone was wrong at first, it was not a male corpse at all, it was the skin of a monster. The real monster has escaped at the scene of the car accident. This monster kidnaps a person every seven days, kills them, and then peels them off, covers them and pretends to be a human, and the cycle repeats. On that day, it was supposed that the female driver accidentally hit and injured the monster, and the monster's skin could not be used, so it took off the skin and kidnapped the female driver on the spot. But its skin was dragged back by us as a corpse, and the secret of the corpse was discovered through a vigorous dissection, and it was afraid that humans would find out about its existence, so it wanted to steal the corpse in the middle of the night, but unfortunately bumped into Dali, and it simply kidnapped Dali. In order to slander and vigorously destroy the corpse, he absconded in fear of crime, leaving Zhang Qiang's human skin.

But I can't tell anyone about this assumption, because no one will believe me, they will only think of me as insane. According to the law, another person will be missing today, and Dali, I'm afraid he has already been killed.

Luo Zhen decided to report the incident to his superiors, and he wanted to persuade me to rest well at home and return to work as soon as possible. But I already have a plan, I asked Luo Zhen to count the last place where all the people who disappeared according to the law of time appeared and told me, I must catch this monster.
