My name is Kun Peng, I am a police officer who has just graduated from the police academy, and I was soon assigned to a small and medium-sized city, Shucheng. I've never heard of this city before, but the environment here is okay, with green trees and green mountains, surrounded by mountains and rivers, but I never imagined that I would encounter a big case in my first week at the police station, and this case would start my life's work.

"The Ghost Mask of the Phenomenon Archive"

I just came to the No. 13 police station in Shucheng, and an old police officer here is named Zhang Liang, but everyone calls him Lao Liang, because Lao Liang is about to retire, and there is less than a month to go. However, his important task during this month is to familiarize me with the workflow here, and I also affectionately call him Uncle Liang. Uncle Liang is a very amiable person, he is kind and hospitable, so he is a good person in this part of the police station. On the first day I came, I followed Uncle Liang to the area under my jurisdiction to familiarize myself with the terrain and workflow. I must have just come out of the police academy, and some practical things are not very familiar, but Uncle Liang was very patient and told me about my work instructions and some key work contents along the way.

Uncle Liang told me that as a policeman, I want to serve the people, not take a stitch from the people

Of course, I have learned all these things that Uncle Liang said in the police academy, and Uncle Liang is old, so he naturally remembers the things of the older generation very clearly, but Uncle Liang still has a lot of experience in handling cases. In a blink of an eye, I have been in Shucheng for three days, this is the fourth day, this day I am patrolling with Uncle Liang in the area of a street, it is a hot summer, Uncle Liang and I are thirsty, so we walked to a cold drink shop to escape the heat, that is, we just walked into a cold drink shop at the same time, there was a heart-rending scream on the opposite side of the store, at this time Uncle Liang and I put down the cold drink in our hands and ran to the other side of the street, at this moment a lot of people have gathered across the street, They surrounded a large iron garbage can, at this time Uncle Liang and I finally squeezed into the crowd, Uncle Liang first identified himself (because we are plainclothes), then the crowd watching the excitement began to slowly disperse, at this time Uncle Liang walked to the front of the garbage can, and suddenly a foul smell came to his face. Uncle Liang squinted his eyes like inside a garbage can, looking at a slightly decomposed corpse lying inside. At this time, I also walked to the front of the garbage can, and Uncle Liang was going to remind me not to look at the situation inside the garbage can, because he thought that I did not have that kind of psychological quality, but at this time, I had already shifted my eyes to the garbage can, and at this time, a decomposing corpse appeared in front of my eyes. At this time, I saw that my stomach was churning uncontrollably, and I vomited all at once.

Uncle Liang quickly informed the people in the bureau, and after a while, the police arrived, and the police cordoned off the scene, and soon the police found the first person to find the body, she was a woman, in her 30s, from her description The police learned about the woman's frightened scene when the body was found. The police quickly determined that the deceased was murder, because I had not looked at the body carefully, so I only saw a photo of the body at the final case analysis meeting, the deceased was named Wang Qiang, an unemployed vagrant, which means that he was a thug. The deceased was wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt on his upper body, and his lower body was **, and he was killed with a sharp weapon. Breed. Utensil. It seems that the murderer hated the deceased to the core. The police quickly found the family of the deceased, who now had only one mother, and his mother was delirious. It seems that it is impossible to know something about Wang Qiang in her mouth. So the police began to investigate the people related to Wang Qiang. Because I am a newcomer, of course, I can only learn behind Uncle Liang, and soon Uncle Liang, I and a few colleagues found an iron buddy of Wang Qiang, his name is Li Jun. He is also a bastard, but better than Wang Qiang, we learned from Li Jun's mouth that Wang Qiang and Li Jun last met a day ago, which also correctly judged the police's inference about the time of Wang Qiang's death. We talked to Li Jun for a long time, and most of them were related to Wang Qiang, but it seems that the clues provided by Li Jun are not of much help to our police.

It seemed that we had to find another way out, so we started with the places that Wang Qiang had come into contact with, of course, some nightclubs or hotels and the like. Soon we found dozens of people, and we took them all back to the police station and began to investigate carefully, but our police investigated for several days without any clues.

At this time, the police began to feel that this case was a little strange, because the murder of such a person with a criminal record should be very good to find out the murderer, but the police did not find any fingerprints on the deceased's body, which also shows that this murderer does not seem to be an ordinary person, and his killing of Wang Qiang should have been carefully planned. A week passed quickly, Wang Qiang's case has not yet been settled, this day Uncle Liang and I are still on normal patrols, and Uncle Liang is also telling me about some progress of Wang Qiang's case, because I am a newcomer, naturally I will not be deeply involved in the investigation process of this case, and I can only know the progress of this case from some words of Uncle Liang. However, I never expected that Wang Qiang's case had not been solved, and another bizarre case happened again. Just when Uncle Liang and I were patrolling the streets, we received a phone call, and it seemed that another group of police was calling on the other end of the phone, and it seemed that something had happened again, and when Uncle Liang and I arrived at the scene of the crime, there were already several police cars and dozens of police officers at the scene. At this time, a policeman was reporting something to Uncle Liang, it seemed that it was about this case, and I also walked to Uncle Liang's side at this time to hear about the case, but when I walked to Uncle Liang's side, the policeman had already finished talking and left. I asked Uncle Liang about the situation of the case at this time, but Uncle Liang did not reply for a long time at this time, and it seems that this case is very important.

At this time, I asked to see the body of the deceased, and I also wanted to test my courage, and I must have to go through these things in the future, so it would be better to be familiar with them earlier. Uncle Liang agreed to my request at this time, so he walked to the scene of the crime with me, at this time there were police officers here to take pictures and collect evidence, and some investigating police were carefully collecting evidence, at this time there was a corpse lying in front of me, the body was covered with a white cloth, at this time I could clearly see that this body was a female corpse, because I could clearly see the bulging chest on the white cloth.

"Uncle Liang, the deceased is a woman," I said to Uncle Liang at this time

"I already know," Uncle Liang said to me very seriously at this time

"Can I see what she looks like?" That's when I asked Uncle Liang

"You have to be mentally prepared," Uncle Liang said to me at this time

At this time, I thought to myself, no matter how ugly this woman is, she won't be able to scare people to death. So I didn't hesitate to lift the white cloth covering the deceased's head, and when I saw the deceased's face, I couldn't help but cry out loudly, and I instinctively took dozens of steps back. This is not because she looks ugly, but because the skin of the deceased has been completely torn off or shaved off. At this moment, a face with blurred flesh and a trace of white bones appeared in front of me. I don't think I'd have been scared out if I hadn't been prepared beforehand.

When I returned to the police station from the scene of the crime, I didn't say a word in the car, and Uncle Liang seemed to see my situation, and he didn't talk to other colleagues about the case in the car. It was already more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to the police station, and Uncle Liang and I simply ate something and went to the conference room for a meeting with many colleagues, in fact, I barely ate anything because of the female corpse.

We had a very long meeting, about three hours. It was almost 8 o'clock in the evening after the meeting, and the main content of the meeting was the Wang Qiang case and the female corpse case. The female deceased's name is Li Li, she is a blind person, she is a teacher in a school for the blind, she is usually more introverted and does not like to talk, and she is kind. However, her death method is the same as Wang Qiang's, and no fingerprint traces can be found on Li Li's body, and it seems that Wang Qiang's case and Li Li's case were both committed by one person. But this is only one of the speculations of our police, we don't have any evidence in our favor, and we haven't found any clues.

Another week passed, but we still didn't find any clues. Another murder case appeared, this time it was another woman, and the murder method was the same as Li Li's, which made people peel off their faces. The deceased's name was Zhou Xinyi, a college student. At this time, there were three homicides in a row in a month, and the police had to pay close attention to this serial murder case. However, the police have not found any clues so far, and it seems that the murderer is an extremely smart or extremely calm person. He can continue to commit crimes under the nose of the police. The director of Shucheng City personally intervened in the case, and in order to investigate the case, Shucheng City mobilized a group of elite experts to form a special investigation team to investigate the case. And I am not in this special team, I must be just a newcomer, but Uncle Liang, who has a lot of cases, is among them, so I can learn about some things about this case through Uncle Liang.

But soon another homicide brought me into this special team, this is the third week after the serial murders, the police found the body again on the bank of the Yitong River in Shucheng, but this time it was not just one person, but three people, two women and one man, the time of death was three days ago, and the way of death was the same as the previous three people, the two female deceased were stripped of their faces, and the male deceased was cut off by a sharp weapon. Breed. Utensil. Official. The death toll climbed to six. And I joined the Special Operations Unit because one of the three people who died was someone I knew, who was my classmate, the male deceased.
