Chapter 330: Skinning Alive
When it comes to skinning people, the perverted murderer who shocked the United States in 1945 comes to mind: Edward Theodore Gain.
Gain, because he was misguided by his mother's religious guidance since childhood, after his mother's death, he killed several women of her mother's age, skinned them alive, and draped them over his own body, trying to "imitate" his mother.
Gain is America's most fearsome serial killer, and its impact is unimaginable. For example, Bison Bill in the movie, as well as the movie, are all based on the prototype of Gain.
In addition, in times of war, extreme soldiers would skin their captives alive, put them on top of the scarecrows, and then take advantage of the darkness to insert the scarecrows in front of the opponent's battle line in order to demoralize the enemy in this way.
From the perspective of criminal psychology, when a murderer peels off the human skin of the deceased alive, then from this moment on, the relationship between the murderer and the victim has changed substantially.
The murderer no longer treats the "victim" as a person, but as an "object". In other words, it is highly likely that the murderer has lost basic humanity at this moment.
The psychology of such people is often flawed and moderately perverted, and there is a very serious social harm!
I don't understand why Lu Yuan had something to do with "skinning", with my understanding of him for so many years, even if that guy was greatly wronged, he would never do such a thing. Moreover, if the victim is involved in the incumbency of the provincial department, then Lu Yuan will be in big trouble.
I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I hurriedly continued to ask Liu Hao: "So, what is going on in that case?" ”
After a while, Liu Hao sighed and said to me slowly: "Okay, things have to start from two months ago!" At that time, there was a vicious homicide in a suburb of Province Z. The deceased was an unemployed young man in his 45-year-old who had a background in the underworld and had been in the bureau more than once for organizing prostitution and assembling a crowd to fight. ”
"Underworld background?" My heart sank, and I hurriedly asked, "What's the name of the guy who died?" ”、
"The surname is Wang, the specific name of Province Z has not been revealed, but it is said that when that guy was squatting in the bureau, the people in the prison called him Shanying!"
it! It's that guy!
As soon as Liu Hao's words fell, I immediately understood why Lu Yuan was involved in this case!
When Lu Yuangang invited me to go to Huayuan City to solve the Renbi case for him, he once revealed to me a piece of Ke Mobai's past experience.
A long time ago, Ke Mobai was abducted and trafficked to Huayuan City by an underworld brother and forced her into prostitution in a violent way, and at that time, Lu Yuan happened to be undercover in that criminal group, disguised as the underworld brother's horse boy, and it was by such a coincidence that he met Ke Mobai.
And the big brother of the underworld who forced Ke Mobai to prostitute at the beginning was Shanying!
However, after we learned Ke Mobai's true identity, everything that happened to her before was completely overturned. With Ke Mobai's real strength, it is not a problem to deal with the role of Shanying.
So that guy from Lu Yuan must think that Shanying knows some inside story!
It is precisely because of this that he was so anxious to part with us after the murder was over. It turned out that Lu Yuan was in trouble to find the mountain eagle!
After knowing the truth, my heart became heavier. Even an invisible black hand is silently controlling everything. Originally, this black hand was only aimed at me alone, but quietly, even Lu Yuan followed suit.
My face sank, and I hurriedly asked about the details of Liu Hao's case.
The guy thought about it for a long time before confiding in me a rough idea. However, judging from Liu Hao's expression during the narration, I estimate that the specific details of the case should have been blocked by the Provincial Department of Z Province, after all, the impact of those two homicides is too bad!
Things have to start from two months ago.
At that time, Shan Ying had just been released from prison, because during his imprisonment, his gang was merged in a firefight, and Shan Ying was chased by the enemy, and was forced to go incognito in an urban-rural junction in Z Province to barely survive.
Because he has a criminal record, it is not easy for that guy to find a job. So I can only barely survive by wearing puppet costumes and taking photos with tourists near the playground.
It was about a little over a month ago in the early hours of the morning, and the janitor was preparing to open the playground. At this moment, the uncle suddenly saw a puppet standing in the center of the square.
Because he had talked to Shanying before, the uncle also knew that his job was to do this.
It's just that at this time, there is not even a single visitor in the entire amusement park, and it is too strange for Shanying to stand there working alone in such a heavy doll costume. Moreover, looking at it from a distance, the doll costume seemed to be slightly different from the one worn by the mountain eagle in the past.
The uncle shouted a few words into the playground, but the mountain eagle did not respond at all. Could it be that there was no one in the doll costume, but Shanying simply put that dress there?
But this is not right, the doll costume needs to be worn by someone to support it, and from this point of view, it is clear that there is someone in that dress!
The uncle sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked over to check the situation.
There was a thin mist floating in the playground in the early morning, which obstructed the vision very much, and the uncle had just taken a few steps forward, and the whole person was completely frightened.
I saw that on the outside of the puppet costume, he was draped in a bloody human skin.
It is estimated that not long after he was peeled off his body, blood was still dripping from the human skin. And among the dolls, there is the bright red corpse of the mountain eagle. The killer used two steel pipes directly through Shanying's leg bones and forcibly pinned him to the floor, so he could maintain that strange standing posture all the time.
One case caused an uproar in the whole city. Because the area where the amusement park is located is in the center of the city, hundreds of parents bring their children to play here every day, and the murderer killed the "Mountain Eagle" in such a cruel way, causing a very bad social impact!
Under pressure, the city bureau turned to the provincial department for help. The provincial department attached great importance to this case and quickly organized an investigation team to investigate.
Because of Shanying's previous underworld experience, the investigation team generally determined that the homicide was a vendetta with a high likelihood. After a period of market-wide investigation and visits, the investigation team quickly locked the suspects in the bodies of several of them, and among them, there was naturally the kid who was far away.
Because a few days before the case, Lu Yuan had just gone to ask Shanying about Ke Mobai, and this scene happened to be witnessed by Shanying's neighbors.
As soon as the news came out, the investigation team was very excited.
The head of the investigation team immediately revealed the general progress of the incident to media reporters, and asserted that the real culprit could be arrested within five days!
On the same day, the entire investigation team unanimously decided through an internal meeting to divide the troops into several groups and conduct in-depth investigations on several key suspects at the same time, striving to further narrow the scope of the investigation and crack the case at an early date.
That night, however, tragedy struck again.
The head of the investigation team was found dead in his own home, and the death was tragic.
The murderer not only skinned him, but also cut off the tongue of the head of the investigation team, folded the two and placed them neatly on top of a newspaper.
The front page of that newspaper was a report on the previous skinning case, and the confident picture of the head of the investigation team when he disclosed the details to the media.
Two cases in a row are very likely to be committed by the same murderer, and the social impact is very serious, especially the second skinning case, which directly shows a blatant provocation to the judicial system!
Coupled with the murder of the head of the investigation team, there was an uproar in the provincial department of Z Province. In the end, in desperation, he could only ask Tang Yan to come out of the mountain and investigate the case.
Through the comparison of the two cases before and after, Tang Yan confirmed the conjecture that the murderer was the same person.
To make matters worse, they found a suspicious man in surveillance footage near the murder scene.
And this man is Lu Yuan!
