Chapter 5 The so-called murderer, one problem after another!
"Artists?"
Li Xiang was stunned, and an old man who played cotton subconsciously appeared in his mind.
He shook his head and looked at Xu Hao frowning and asked.
"Didn't you just guess that the murderer was an electrician?"
Xu Hao asked rhetorically, "Can't an electrician be an artist?" ”
Li Xiang was dumbfounded, he wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he couldn't speak.
Is an electrician in conflict with an artist?
"Before his death, Van Gogh was also a painter who was as down-and-out as a beggar, but this identity did not affect his paintings to be passed down through the ages and displayed in the palace."
Xu Hao said slowly, and Li Xiang was speechless.
"Artists?" Su Yue came to her side at this time, she frowned, looked at Xu Hao again, and frowned.
"Where do you see that?"
Xu Hao didn't answer directly, but asked a few people.
"What will the museum have?"
Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, and didn't know why he asked this, but he still thought for a moment and replied:
"Antiques, and unearthed artifacts!"
Xu Hao nodded, "More than that." ”
"The artworks?" Su Yue suddenly spoke, she pointed to a modern painting next to her and said.
"That's right, it's a work of art!"
Xu Hao nodded again and said:
"Remember what I said earlier? The murderer has a purpose! ”
"This 'purpose' prompted him to complete the killing, and then cut off the deceased's head to make a specimen, which is finally hung in the museum."
"Then the question is, what is the purpose of this!?"
"Why did the murderer risk being found and hang the human head specimen in the museum!?"
Why? The murderer's purpose!?
You must know that this kind of extremely bad case, as long as it is solved, what awaits the murderer will be life imprisonment!
But with this level of criminal law, the murderer not only hid the body, but even openly hung it in a place like a museum!!
Why? Not afraid of losing your head?
Li Xiang was stunned, and two questions passed into his brain, circling in his head.
When the police accepted the scene, they thought of the word 'purpose', but they couldn't find the investigation point and did not go down the direction of investigation.
Can ...... now
"What do you mean ....."
Su Yue's mind flashed, and she blurted out a sentence that shocked Li Xiang.
"The killer is showing his artwork, so he's an artist!?"
Artwork?
Specimen of human heads!?
Li Xiang looked at the empty eyes of the deceased's head hanging on the wall in horror.
"It's a work of art!?"
"He can be!" Xu Hao walked towards the museum and walked to the head of the deceased.
"Taxidermy is a work of art in the eyes of taxidermy enthusiasts, and the materials used are usually animal carcasses, ranging from butterflies to lions and elephant heads, and even some plants can be made into specimens."
Xu Hao raised his head and looked at the details of the human head specimen.
"But the murderer's aesthetic is a little unique, he replaced the lion's head with a human head, although it looks terrifying, but Team Li, can you deny that this is a beautiful specimen?"
"Under the cutting of the whole face, there is no scratch on the muscles, several fat layers are clean, the muscles are well preserved, and even the back of the head is ......."
The answer is no.
A specimen is a specimen, whether it is a human head or not.
Li Xiang wanted to speak and stopped, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find anything to refute.
He looked at Xu Hao's eyes looking at the head, but silently took a few steps back.
After looking at it for a long time, Xu Hao withdrew his eyes.
If you put aside the human head, this specimen is perfect,
"So, based on the current speculation, let's discuss the two questions that have just been raised."
Xu Hao pulled everyone's thoughts back.
The police officers at the scene had already gone out for lunch, and only a few police officers were still following Li Xiang.
"What is the purpose of the murderer's exhibition of his favorite 'artwork'? What is the purpose? ”
"What did he peel off the dead for!?"
This time, Li Xiang didn't think much about it and blurted out:
"In order to get your artwork recognized!?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Xiang himself was stunned.
Let their human head specimens be recognized by the public......
It's a little scary to say it, just imagine that someone is holding a head in the middle of the night and chasing you to discuss the beauty of this head......
"That's right, it's identity."
Xu Hao gave affirmation, and the two questions were the same answer, "Peel off the skin, I have two bold guesses here." ”
"First, the murderer was afraid that the identity of the deceased would be exposed, which would lead to the exposure of his own identity."
"II..... The murderer wants to monopolize this 'sense of identity'! ”
"As for peeling off the face of the murderer, I personally think there is no reason to establish it, the murderer's method is to peel the skin, not to tear it destructively!"
None of the people present were stupid, the first guess they all thought about it, and at this time they were thinking about the second.
The association between skinning and identity.....
"You mean ....."
Li Xiang frowned and pondered, then stretched out his finger to a calligraphy and painting beside him.
A few people can't appreciate the calligraphy and painting, and the only thing that can be understood is the payment of the owner of the calligraphy and painting.
"That's right, the face of the deceased is the signature of calligraphy and painting!"
Xu Hao told his guesses in a row.
"Just imagine, if the victim's face is still there, then a large part of the attention on the Internet will definitely be divided into discussing the deceased itself!"
"If the face disappears, everyone will only talk about the murderer himself!"
Xu Hao looked at the entire museum again, scanning the objects on the walls, in the cabinets, and in the exhibition glass.
"And the murderer chose the museum as the scene of the crime, it's easy to guess."
"Everyone here, including the security guards, will maintain a sense of appreciation and awe for everything here, and will think and appreciate things as soon as they see them, rather than panic."
"At worst, it's a detour, and even if you see the victim's head, you will only have a preconceived idea that this is the artistic expression of some madman, not the scene of the crime."
"The fact that hundreds of tourists and security guards didn't call the police before I called the police is the best evidence."
Xu Hao continued to observe the human head specimen, but unfortunately did not find any clues.
"From this, we get two characteristics about the murderer!"
"First, the murderer thinks he is an artist, and second, the murderer longs for a sense of identity, and even does not hesitate to kill people, and even distorts his spirit!"
"And in order to get a sense of recognition, he does not hesitate to peel off the victim's face."
The benefit of character deduction thinking is here, extract the key character design, and create a complete character!
With the blessing of this golden finger, Xu Hao's thinking logic is several times clearer than usual!
"Then the question arises again, who is the murderer, in what environment, what things have he encountered, and his personality and inner world have become like this!?"
Questions, questions, questions!
A series of questions made Li Xiang's brain cells die crazy, but he didn't care at this time, but was extremely excited in his heart.
The problem is the fig leaf of the murderer, and the more it is solved, the clearer the murderer will be exposed to the police!
"The opposite of what an artist should be!"
Li Xiang replied excitedly, and at this time he had a vague feeling in his heart.
The case is advancing at a breakneck pace!
The case can be solved within a limited time limit!!
"Such as the profession of electrician, or being abused or being treated unfairly in his eyes!"
Su Yue added, thought about it and spoke again, "This is not enough, this is at most lustful, not very self-controlled, he also has to have a layer of strength and identity that inspires the contradiction between the two!" ”
"The technique of making specimens is very skillful, which means that the murderer has a certain specimen technique, I guess that the murderer is likely to fall into the middle of the family, from luxury to thrift, and fall to the bottom!"
Xu Hao nodded, agreeing with the words of the two.
"The murderer holds himself as an artist, but there needs to be a cause for him to think he is an artist!"
"For example, he was an artist from the beginning, and then he fell into the middle of the family and fell into the life of the grassroots, and he was accustomed to a luxurious life, and the contradictions between his heart and the environment naturally increased greatly."
"And to make it look like this, you only need to add some small contradictions!"
Solve the problem, Xu Hao is not ready to let go, he wants to break the casserole!
"Now, all known speculative clues about the killer will be collated."
"The murderer is a man, with a dark mental condition, a wealthy family before, and now his profession may be an electrician, his inner world is on the verge of collapse, he is an artist, he can't stand the extravagance and frugality, can't stand the flattery and ridicule, thinks that he is different from the people around him, such as swans and meat ducks, sparrows and larks, and falls into madness."
"So, the victim appeared, and his head was cut off to make a 'work of art' and hung in a museum in an attempt to be recognized and return to the identity of an artist!"
"Then here's the problem."
As he spoke, Xu Hao paused, and then threw a question again.
"Murderer ....."
"How did you get this sense of identity back as an artist!?"
