Chapter Eighty-Four: The Mask of Human Skin
Her question did not stump Du Zhi, Du Zhi grinned: "Miss, I have also inquired about this matter!" You didn't ask me before, I didn't care about it, so I didn't take the initiative to mention it to you!
The young lady of the sect family and the young master Zong Youlin are married! It is said that before the master of the Zong family moved his family to Tonghe County, Yuzhou, to settle down, he did have some friendship with the young lady's mother's family.
At the beginning, the young lady's father felt that the Zong family was kind-hearted and a good family that could be trusted, so the two families had an agreement, if they gave birth to a daughter, they would be sisters with different surnames, and if they gave birth to sons, they would be brothers with different surnames.
If a son and a daughter are born, the two families will become in-laws.
The father of the young lady of the Zong family is also a particularly honest and covenant-abiding person, so after the two families reached the age of their respective children, they fulfilled the marriage contract. ”
Du Ruo nodded clearly, thoughtfully, and did not speak.
Ye Yuanzhou was also figuring out another thing: "This 'painted skin' disguised as Zong Youlin can be said to be ruthless and scheming.
Among the so many people in the Zong family, he was the first to start with the nursing mother and the weak baby, which was easier to get started, and secondly, it could also bring a huge blow to the Zong family and plunge the Zong family into chaos.
In such a situation, if the daughter-in-law of the Zong family has an accident again, the outside will feel that this is a woman who can't bear the pain of losing her child, and she can't think about it for a while, and she looks for a short time, which will not arouse any suspicion.
After that, the rest of the Zong family died silently by hanging themselves on the southeast branch, and the government sent servants to detect anything unusual and suspicious, thinking that these people were really hanged.
As a result, there was a rumor outside that the Zong family had provoked evil spirits and were killed by evil spirits, and it was boiling.
Under such influence, the only living outlet of the Zong family, the 'painted skin' Zong Youlin, could logically sell the shops, antiques and land properties under the name of the Zong family to others at a low price without arousing anyone's suspicion.
The fear and taboo of outsiders about the Zong family's series of murders have become the protective fog of the 'painted skin', making it impossible for people to see his intentions and plans clearly.
It's just that I haven't figured it out for the time being, after killing the Zong family, those shops and antiques are all in the name of 'Painted Skin' Zong Youlin, he already has all the wealth, why do you have to go to great lengths to find a few accomplices, buy low and sell high, and change hands?
Isn't there a lot of gold and silver to be lost inside and out? ”
"Because he doesn't want to live as Zong Youlin for the rest of his life." Du Ruo didn't have any doubts about this matter, he had already thought it through, "This is a greedy villain, he still wants to have both!"
If you say why the government can't find out that he killed it, in fact, Du Zhi inquired about it before, and the old servant of the sect told us, these things are put together, and the answer is about to come out.
People are indeed hanged, and people do not have any traces of struggle and resistance, at first glance it does seem to be hanging from the southeast branch, but the flaw is precisely in this 'no trace of struggle'! ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Ye Yuanzhou didn't know anything about the autopsy, and he was also very curious when he heard Du Ruo say this.
Du Ruo stuck his jaw with his hand and made a strangled posture: "Being choked by the throat and suffocating to death is actually an extremely painful way to die, not only people who are strangled by their necks will struggle desperately because of the pain, even if they can't think about it, they will hang themselves because they are too painful, and they will instinctively struggle to get rid of it."
In the past, I have helped people test a few people who couldn't think of hanging themselves, and the light was that they struggled until their fingernails grabbed the rope and scratched their nails and fingers apart.
Struggling a little harder, the man wanted to pull the rope out of his jaw, but he grabbed his jaw to blur the flesh and blood, how could he be motionless, so honestly strangled! ”
"So what do you mean...... The people of the Zong family were first drugged and then hung on the ropes? "Ye Yuanzhou is thorough.
Du Ruo nodded: "I do have such suspicions. A little drug, or incense, can make people unconscious, and they hang on the hanging rope defenselessly.
Naturally, people who are unconscious do not struggle, so they hang themselves quietly like that.
And whether it is incense or drug, there are many kinds, and there are many of them that cannot be detected, and when they see the corpses of all the people in the sect family, there is nowhere to verify the smoke and drug, and what they can detect is naturally a group of hanged ghosts who have no struggle and commit suicide! ”
She said, with a hint of confusion on her face: "It's not difficult to speculate on these things, but I can't work with other things."
Could it be that there is really such a magical grooming technique in the legend? Can you disguise one person as if they look exactly like another? It's so much the same that even the parents, mothers, and familiar old servants at home can't recognize the difference in appearance? ”
"Human skin mask." This time, it was Ye Yuanzhou's turn to explain Du Ruo's confusion, "There has always been a human skin mask on the rivers and lakes, which can help people change their appearance and achieve the effect of hiding their identity." ”
"Like the guy you fought before and chopped off one of the other person's fingers?" Du Ruo remembered that Ye Yuanzhou had told him that that person had used a human skin mask to cover all his original facial features, so that people could not see his true appearance.
Ye Yuanzhou shook his head: "It's not just the kind that is used to cover the facial features, the kind is just easier to use, and the difficulty of making is lower."
There is also a human skin mask, which can help a person to change into the appearance of anyone else, the only thing that needs to be satisfied is that the transformer needs to be similar to the person being impersonated, after all, nothing can change the body shape.
If two people are similar in height and appearance, and a well-made human skin mask is enough to confuse the real thing, if you don't look closely, it will be difficult to find the clues.
It's just that the price of this kind of human skin mask is very high, if it weren't for the bloody investment, even if the average person found out about the way, they might not be willing to buy it.
In the past, when we were at the border, we once caught a spy who used a human skin mask to hide his alien appearance, so we can be regarded as seeing it with our own eyes. ”
Du Ruo was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there really was such a human skin mask that he originally thought would only exist in legends.
But in this way, the rest of the things make sense: "The old servant is right, the appearance is easy to change, but the details of a person's eyes and posture are difficult to imitate vividly, and there are no flaws in pretending."
Even people who are particularly familiar with each other do not dare to guarantee that they will not show their feet at all, which is why the fake Zong Youlin will change his temperament greatly after returning home, and he will not see anyone behind closed doors. ”
