Han Daring was turning over the corpse, but Mei Ruohong found something under the corpse, and hurriedly asked. Han Daring lifted the corpses that had been frozen hard, only to find that the two fat corpses, a man and a woman, seemed to be pressing something under the male corpse.

The large mass of things was white, about the same color as the corpse, and it was a little slippery to the touch, because it carried water, and it was already slightly frozen in a short time. Han Daring said that when this thing was opened, it was a little elastic, and it was a long strip when it was unfolded, and the long strip was the first place, kneaded into a ball, and divided into several branches.

The white twigs had frozen, and Han Da'er used a slight force to crush the ice shell wrapped around it, and when he unfolded it, it turned out to be the skin of the palm of Zhang Ren's hand, like the skin was very complete, like a leather glove race. The one attached to the skin of the palm is the skin of the human arm. The skin of the arm was pressed under the corpse above the elbow, and it had begun to liquefy due to the long immersion in the well water, and it was glued to the two corpses.

Han Da'er hurriedly called Hei San'er and moved the corpse together. Although Hei San'er usually fought and brawled, killing seven and killing eight outside, it was the first time he faced two swollen and inseparable floating corpses, and the foul smell of the dirt that had just been sprayed from the corpse was unbearable, so he almost wanted to gag when he got close, so he could only cover his mouth and nose with one hand, and help Han Da'er push the corpse with the other hand.

At this time, it was the middle of winter, the weather was very cold, but the corpses had been soaked in the water for a long time, and after a moment of salvage, the water vapor began to condense as soon as it met the cold air, so at this time, the two corpses had begun to freeze and harden, and the water vapor on the surface of the corpses had also turned into a thin ice shell.

When the corpse was removed, there was a white frost under the corpse, and a large piece of twisted human skin was frozen on the back of the corpse. Han Daring took out a rusty kitchen knife from the east wing, gently pried off the frozen human skin with the back of the knife, and then hit a well water, poured water on the human skin, and took advantage of the temporary melting of the frost on the surface of the human skin, and quickly unfolded the human skin completely and spread it on the ground.

At this time, I realized that it was a complete human skin, with hands, feet, limbs, and facial features, even eyelids. And except for the nine orifices of the human body, there is only a crack at the top door, and there is no wound on the whole body. At first glance, it looks like a human-shaped holster.

A few people present were already frightened when they saw the two fat floating corpses at first, and then looked at the whole human skin, they were even more frightened, and they really couldn't imagine that anyone could peel off the entire human skin so completely. Skinning must not be done only after the death of a living creature, and it must be done while its flesh and blood are still warm and elastic.

The human body is much larger than domestic animals such as cats and dogs, so it is also more difficult to skin. If you want to do it after death, without waiting for the skin to be peeled off, I am afraid that the corpse will already be stiff, and it will be difficult to separate the human skin from the flesh and blood. It is thought that this must be to skin a human alive while the human breath is still alive, so that such a complete human skin can be peeled, and the action must be very precise and swift when peeling, separating the flesh and fat from the skin.

Look at this human skin is very complete, unless it is used in the legendary "top door grouting method", that is, the top door of the person is cut, and then a large amount of mercury is poured in, and the mercury is used to fall, and the flesh and blood are peeled off from the human skin from top to bottom. Otherwise, if you simply rely on human hands, you really don't know how to do it, so it can be so complete. But this top door grouting method is very laborious, and the perpetrator cannot use this method at all.

Han Daring took a closer look at this human skin and found that its skin was very thin, and if it hadn't been condensed and frozen, it was estimated that it would tear it with a little force. Not only that, even if the human skin has been swollen after soaking in water, it can still be seen that the skin is dry and drooping, and it is quite old, but I don't know if it is the cause of water immersion, but the skin texture is relatively smooth, and it does not look like the skin of an old man.

Han Da'er suddenly had doubts in his heart after seeing this human skin, and then he hurriedly went to examine the two floating corpses. The two corpses, a man and a woman, only had a scar on the throat, deep into the muscles and veins, and they were obviously cut by people and died of blood loss. Both bodies were dressed in clothes, but the bodies were swollen and had torn their clothes.

The male corpse is older, and the female corpse is shorter. Han Daring groped for the bones of the corpse, his hands were extraordinary, and he could poke out the location of the bones through the frozen corpse. According to the skeletons of the two corpses, the female corpse was not tall and slightly fat. The male corpse was of medium to upper stature, with muscular arms, shoulders and backs, and thick bones in his hands.

Looking at the face of the corpse again, although the facial features were swollen and difficult to identify, Han Daring still asked Hei San'er to come over to identify it, Hei San'er usually only sat in the catfish nest, and he didn't know much about how many men and women were in and out of the catfish nest.

At this time, Xiao Xiami and the tall and thin man finished washing off the dirt on their bodies and happened to return to the courtyard. Black San'er hurriedly shouted to the tall and thin man:

"Dried tofu! Come and identify the body! ”

The feeling of this thin and tall man surnamed Dou, because he is tall and thin, he got the nickname "dried tofu". When Han Daring heard this, these two boys couldn't complain about being together often, and a small dried bean curd and a small shrimp were all accessories for side dishes.

Even after rinsing the dried tofu, the whole body still smells fishy. After Xiao Xiami fished out the corpse, he didn't identify it himself, so he pinched his nose and took a closer look. He didn't recognize the man, but he knew the silver bracelet that the woman was carrying, and it was the prostitute Peony's belongings. Although this corpse is no longer human, the clothes are vaguely worn by Peony!

It turned out that the dried tofu was the person who watched the field in the courtyard of Peony, and it was the boy who happened to go to the alley to stutter for supper when the old lady Bai killed people and peeled the skin before. He watches the scene in this courtyard all the year round, so he is very familiar with several secret prostitutes in the courtyard. The silver bracelet was very delicate and thick, and he had been looking at the peony with a very greedy eye, and always wanted to take the opportunity to go away, so he recognized this pair of bracelets. In fact, the bracelet was only silver-plated, and the inside was just white copper.

The dried bean puzzled, the female corpse in front of her, with a peony bracelet, and the clothes are exactly the same, could it be that this corpse is a peony, but it's not right! Didn't the peony die after being skinned and grunted out of his heart and liver? I can see the corpse of the Blood Gourd Race with my own eyes!

In fact, what he said about dried tofu coincided with Han Da'er's guess in his heart!

At this time, Han Dada'er carefully looked at the male corpse, only to see that the male corpse's face was bloated, and his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were swollen and turned outward, but the facial skin left some clues, so that Han Dada'er instantly knew the identity of this person.

Han Daring said:

"I heard that Peony has a regular customer, named Chen Quezi!"

Tofu Dry Road:

"That's right! That's right! Huaihua saw that night, Chen Quezi stepped on the water tank and escaped over the wall, and then this product never appeared again, some people said that they went out to avoid trouble! ”

Han Daring pointed to the water tank next to the wall:

"Look at the cylinder mouth, uneven, Sensei said that stepping on the cylinder mouth over the wall, even if ordinary people can settle down a little without slipping, it is not easy, I just entered the courtyard to see. Presumably, the male corpse in front of him is Chen Quezi! ”

Hearing Han Da'er say this, Hei San'er and Xiao Xiami also curiously came together to take a closer look.

Han Daring pointed to the male corpse and said:

Although his skin was blistered by the well water, it could be seen by touching his hands that the muscles of his arms and shoulders were tight, and the bones of his hands were thick, which should be caused by long-term grinding and oil extraction in the oil mill! And Chen Quezi's nickname, isn't it because he went to Nanshi to order a mole and fell into a small pit, so he got such a nickname? ”

Han Daring said again:

"Look at it, although his face is swollen, you can vaguely see large and small pits on his skin, which are the ones left by him when he lit the mole!"

Hei San'er and the others took a look, and sure enough, there were indeed many small dents on the unrecognizable face of the male corpse, which were not easy to find if they didn't look closely.

Han Da'er looked at the frozen hard ground in the courtyard, and a black blood stain had soaked into the soil. Presumably, this is the skinless corpse, the place where the corpse is displayed.

He looked back at the corpses of Peony and Chen Quezi, as well as the unidentified human skin, and thought: After dealing with the two corpses and the human skin, but not this one, if there is not a trace of it, wouldn't it be more unaware? And after the disappearance of Huaihua, there was no skinless corpse, indicating that it was dealt with by the murderer again. In today's case, the corpse was not processed, and the skinless corpse was just floating on the shelf, and the interval was greatly shortened compared to the previous two cases......

Han Da'er turned his head to the dried bean curd and asked:

"Where did you go on the night of the murder?"

Dried bean curd didn't dare to hide it and said:

"Go to the second boy at the mouth of the alley to draw lots to buy supper!"

Han Daring asked again:

"Then you heard the movement and rushed back?"

Tofu Dry Road:

"It's not! I came back from buying supper, and I was just in time to see this skinless corpse in the courtyard! But if it's not a peony, who will it be? Huaihua clearly said......"

Han Da'er then asked:

"When you came back from the alley, did you hear any noise?"

Tofu Dry Road:

"When I was about to get to the gate of the courtyard, I heard the sound of water, which was like throwing a big stone into the river! I didn't care about it at the time, but when I entered the courtyard, I saw the corpse of the Blood Gourd Race! ”

Han Daring nodded, and said secretly in his heart: It's almost, now that the murderer has been found, there is only one mystery that has not been solved, that is, the motive, why did the murderer commit the murder?

Mei Ruohong also heard the big-eyed thief talk about the rumors before Fu Houli, although he was not interested at the time, but after all, he had heard a thing or two, so he heard Han Daring say that Chen Que did not escape, and the secret prostitute Peony was not stripped to death, and the two of them were both thrown into the well, and they also had doubts about the case in their hearts.

She then asked:

"It's a bit out of the ordinary! Why are these two bodies disposed of, but not the other? And that human skin ......? ”

Han Da'er raised his hand and signaled, asking Mei Ruohong to ask a little slowly, and then asked the dried tofu:

"Which house do Peony and Acacia live in?"

The dried bean curd pointed to the main room and the east wing room respectively and said:

"Peony lives in this house, acacia flowers live in that house!"

Han Daring listened, and walked quickly to the main room, and Mei Ruohong also followed.

He rummaged around the main room for a while and stopped in front of a clay pot. The clay pot is not big, the shoulder of the jar is the size of a sea bowl, he picked up the clay pot, looked at it in the township, and then wiped it gently with a handkerchief, then looked at the handkerchief, sniffed it into the jar with his nose, and then turned to Mei Ruohong and said:

"I want to ask you, haven't you heard of ......?"

Hei San'er and the others were waiting outside the house, seeing Han Da'er and Mei Ruohong holding a clay pot in the house, and the two talked in a low voice. Hei San'er had been instructed by Cheng Lao Liu earlier to stay inch, and Han Dadao'er made every move, so he wanted to get close and eavesdrop. But in his heart, he suddenly remembered that Han Daring's martial arts were a person, but there was an inexplicable respect in his heart, and he was reluctant to get close to eavesdrop for a while, so he was stunned in place!

When he wanted to get closer, Han Daring had already walked out of the house quickly, and then asked:

"Have any secret prostitutes disappeared in Fuhouli over the years?"

Hei San'er didn't understand why he asked this, and was stunned for a moment, before he replied:

"Of course there are, but there are only one or two in a few years, and most of them ran away because of the kiln debts, and most of them were finally caught. However, in the past two years, because the security company has grown a lot of money, there are a lot more people running than in previous years, except for a few who have been caught back, the others have disappeared without a trace! ”

Han Daring said:

"How long has it been since the two years of disappearance?"

Hei San'er said:

"There was more than one in half a year last year, one in three or four months last year, and this year, in addition to the two who died of peeling, the previous missing ones were less than two months apart! There is an even stranger one, I didn't catch those ones back, I ran in a hurry, and I didn't even take away my soft clothes! ”

After hearing this, Han Daring thought to herself, everything she should know is actually known, and what she doesn't know is just what people can't believe.

He stood in the courtyard with his eyes closed, but his mind was deducing the facts of that night's case and connecting the facts one by one. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his gaze was like a torch and said categorically:

"The mystery is solved! It's time to catch monsters! ”
