Chapter Eighty-Six: Masks! Play! Opera!

What did Xu Hao think of?

The origin of the mask.

At the earliest, masks can be traced back to ancient times, when primitive tribes wore masks and pretended to be gods.

The body is covered with feathers, showing the characteristics of the gods.

Later, the mask was simplified and flowed among ordinary people.

After that, opera was born!

Opera was born in the Qin and Han dynasties, when there were no witches, fewer people wearing masks and dancing gods, and more opera entertainment such as pretending to be gods or gods.

It was another few hundred years of development, and finally, the mask evolved into the current opera, and turned into a harlequin.

Although the two are of different uses, one is for entertainment and the other is for foolishness.

But the essence is the same!

"Before, the time was too rushed, the mood was too anxious, we ignored the most intuitive and one-sided things of the mask, and kept drilling the horns, thinking about the usefulness of the human skin mask!"

"But aside from the composition of human skin, the essence of these masks is ......"

"Play!"

At this time, the second task force team, except for Wang Chao and another police officer, were all in the police station at this time!

They all looked at Xu Hao intently, waiting for the next sentence to appear.

"The murderer killed the victim, skinned him, put on his clothes, and in the place of the victim, roamed the world......"

"When the victim sees something that makes him laugh, the murderer laughs, and when the victim sees something that makes him sad, the murderer gets sad......"

"It's like a phrase in the opera."

Xu Hao stared at the display screen in front of him that was divided into three screens.

"If the horn is on stage, then he is no longer the horn."

"It's the character himself!"

Everyone was stunned and shuddered at the theory.

One of them kills you, peels off your face and sews it on your face, puts your clothes on you, buries you in the garden, sits in your rightful place, looks up slightly, smiles at your mother, and whispers a word......

'Mom. ’

Wu Chen shuddered, and he hurriedly asked:

If this theory is true, then ...... Why would he kill after and then play the other person? ”

"The murderer must have a purpose!"

The purpose is the target, that is, what the murderer wants, it may be the sense of identity that Zhang Zhuang wants in the museum, or it may be the superiority of Cheng Li, who is a 'fish lip hidden pearl'.

Playing is not the goal, why playing the victim, and what you can get by playing the victim murderer, is the goal!

"I don't know."

Zhang She shook his head, and he looked at the few people in front of him.

Xu Hao suddenly spoke, "Have you ever watched the opera?" ”

Opera?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then shook their heads in unison.

Opera, this thing is still something that grandparents watch, and young people can't understand opera without subtitles.

"In the opera, in every scene, all the characters who appear are specific!"

"If Zhao Zilong is seven in and seven out, the person played by the actor is Zhao Zilong, not Cao Mengde's seven in and seven out."

"Another example is Wen Jiu and Hua Xiong, the actor will play Guan Gong, not Pan Feng and Hua Xiong!"

Su Yue observed the monitoring of the scene of the human skin crime according to the characteristics of the murderer given by Xu Hao.

In the end, the shadow of the murderer appeared more or less in all three places!

In other words, after the murderer goes to the place where the victim went, he will take the victim's face and wear the victim's clothes to re-experience the place where the murderer went!

Four human skins, seven crime scenes, and an undiscovered place!

The murderer wore a human skin mask and staged four original operas for the police.

"Hotel", "River Bottom", "Trojan Horse"

The rest of the one, what kind of drama it is, it depends on Wang Chao's speed.

"Team Xu, do you mean that the murderer chose people according to the 'opera script', instead of killing one person on the street, and then took the victims as Zhang, Li, and Wang?"

Su Yue suddenly spoke, and Xu Hao nodded.

"That's right, it's the same as opera, whether it's a beautiful case, or seven in and seven out, or a warm wine to kill Huaxiong......"

"It's all about the script itself, not the actor himself!"

"Pick the actor for the script, not the script for the actor!"

And just now, in the eyes of the murderer, the three victims just meet the characteristics of the actors of these three dramas!

"Nope! There may be no traits in the victims! ”

Xu Hao spoke again, and the thinking veins in his mind became clearer and clearer.

"If you play an opera, what meets the characteristics of the role is the life of the follower and the actor!"

"No matter how good the memory is, the murderer can't play the unique characteristics of the victim!"

For example, some people treat others kindly on the surface, but in fact they have a certain sense of distance from everyone, and this kind of psychology that no one knows directly affects itself, leading to a series of subconscious muscle movements.

This leads to the fact that if the murderer plays this kind of 'kindness', then he will not be able to play that flavor anyway.

"The trait is the victim itself!"

"So, the murderer took the victim's face, as well as clothes, and put them on his face......"

"It's like being a victim and becoming a trait itself!"

Xu Hao's words came out, a few policemen, you look at me, I look at you, and the look in his eyes became more and more shocked.

Killing for the sake of playing......

Wear a human skin mask for the sake of traits!

became the victim 'itself', and felt the victim's feelings from the murderer's own perspective.

Several people couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle.

"But what the hell is this script!?"

Su Yue suddenly frowned and asked, the script is what happened at the scene of the crime where the human skin was discarded, but how did the script itself come about!?

You must know that whether it is Cao Cao or Zhuge , this is a real thing in history, adapted from reality!

So, how did the drama of the murderer come about?

"Also, why does the victim itself satisfy the needs of the murderer?"

"What the hell is this trait!?"

"The most important thing is, why did the victim appear within the scope of a fixed script during his lifetime!?"

The festival lasts for more than a week, and the flow of people is huge, as long as you twist your body slightly to get into the crowd, you will not be held hostage.

Since there is no one to hold hostage, how did the victim go to the theater location arranged by the murderer!?

"And how does the murderer know that the victim satisfies his theatrical qualities!?"

"You must know that the victims are from Tiannan Hubei, the three victims are distributed in two provincial capitals and three urban areas, and there is no communication before the festival, but the murderer has accurately found the door......

The four problems go straight to the core of the theory, and any one of them is solved, and there will be a major breakthrough in the case!

Especially knowing the nature of the victim to satisfy the drama.

Every day kills a person accurately, in this case, how does the other party know the location of the victim!?

No, he, like Ma Hui, also has a list of victims whose channels are unknown?

So what kind of list does this have to be to bring together people from the two provinces!?

Just when everyone was thinking, Xu Hao, who had not moved for a long time, suddenly spoke coldly.

"It occurred to me that there was something that could make three people who had been separated for a long time and had never known each other......"

"Have a long-lasting connection with the murderer in reality!"
