Chapter Twenty-Three: The Uncanny Valley Theory

Wu Le'an confessed to his crime of robbery and murder, and he confessed that he only killed Xie Xiaoshan from beginning to end.

The criminal police team found the gold and silver jewelry worn by Xie Xiaoshan in Wu Le'an's home, and tested the DNA on it, but did not find her shoes.

At the same time, the police also tested Xie Xiaoshan's DNA in the trunk of Wu Le'an's car.

The Jianglin City Criminal Police Team summarized the case, provided relevant evidence, and prosecuted the Jianglin City People's Court for intentional homicide.

Although the case of Xie Xiaoshan's murder has been closed, the police still have a lot to do about this case.

The first is to investigate Xie Xiaoshan's first two guests, and it is necessary to prevent the further spread of AIDS, and at the same time look for people who maliciously infected Xie Xiaoshan.

According to Article 360 of the Criminal Law, the crime of spreading venereal diseases: Whoever sells a company or ticket for a person who knows that he has syphilis, gonorrhea or other serious sexually transmitted diseases shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, short-term detention or controlled release, and shall also be fined.

Don't think that this is just a simple act of revenge against society, and it is a crime that violates the country's criminal law.

The Jianglin City Public Security Bureau ordered that a thorough anti-pornography and anti-crime special operation be carried out throughout the city, and all bathing centers, bars, KTVs, hotels, inns and other potential pornography-related establishments should be thoroughly investigated. At the same time as the anti-pornography eradication, the people who have been in contact with Xie Xiaoshan have been traced back to the source, and the spread of HIV in Jianglin City must not be allowed to continue.

The murder of Xie Xiaoshan is just an episode for our serious crime team, because we also have to investigate this serial disappearance case that occurred in Jianglin City.

In the process of investigating the murder of Xie Xiaoshan, the other members of the criminal police team are not idle, and are still tracking the movements of the 18 missing people in this case in accordance with the investigation plan we formulated earlier.

Since some of the missing persons have disappeared far from now, the tracing of the origins of those who have disappeared can only be limited to the contents of the dossier. At that time, the criminal police investigated the missing person, and they also learned some of the movements of the missing person.

In the office of the criminal police team, the Technical Investigation Section marked the locations where the 18 missing persons had been on an electronic map of Jiangzhou City with 18 colors through technical positioning and recovery, and soon found several overlapping locations.

Investigating the case through the trajectory of the missing person can only be said to be a helpless move, after all, we still have too few clues.

It's just that I have always felt that the key to the case is still on the 18 missing people.

This time, I decided to take eighteen case files with me to see Ling Gufeng to see if he could provide us with some clues.

Since I went to see Ling Gu Feng, I had to take Li Meng with me, so I communicated briefly with Li Meng, and then went to Ling Gu Feng with the copies of the eighteen files.

Dialed Ling Gu Feng's phone, he was now in the wax museum, so we simply went directly to his Gu Feng real wax museum.

When we saw Ling Gu Feng, we were simply shocked, because we didn't see Ling Gu Feng who was as handsome as before, but saw an "artist" with a gray face, a somewhat messy hairstyle, an apron, and a dye full of dyes.

Although Ling Gufeng was sloppy now, he was still polite and showed a very polite smile.

"Senior Gu Feng, why do you look like this?" Li Meng asked in surprise.

Ling Gufeng smiled, looked at Li Meng with doting eyes, and explained quietly, "I'm doing coloring and assembling the newly made wax figures. ”

The production of wax figures must go through three procedures: carving, inverting and demoulding. That is, after the clay sculpture surface is poured into the mold, the module is reassembled, and the silica gel is poured in the middle to solidify, and the mold is removed to form the head or body. However, the simple three steps cover the extraordinarily intricate details.

Although I don't know the production process of real wax figures, I like to watch the excitement.

After explaining his intention to Ling Gufeng, Ling Gufeng immediately said that he could help, and then took off his apron and went to wash his hands.

I went to Ling Gufeng's studio to see his newly made wax figures.

This wax figure is still a half-finished product, and the studio is simply a "dismemberment" scene, a female wax figure is lying on a workbench, with a head, limbs, and torso in a corner.

The wax figure is white, unpainted and assembled, except that the clothes on her body have been simply colored.

The leader of the wax figure is still milky white, although the facial features are angular, but the specific appearance is not clear, maybe after Ling Gufeng completely colors and assembles the wax figure, he can give the wax figure a new life.

Ling Gufeng and Li Meng were sitting on the reception sofa, and Ling Gufeng kept looking at the file in his hand, one after another.

And I had nothing to do, and suddenly became interested in making wax figures.

I'm like visiting an art museum, no, I'm saying that there is a problem, a wax museum is an art museum.

I walked slowly around the wax museum, stopping in front of one wax figure after another, stopping to look at the artwork in front of me.

The wax figures were truly amazing, almost like a living person standing in front of me. Everyone's eyes were bright and bright.

Throughout the live-action wax museum, there are nearly thirty wax figures, each with a different occupation and a background that is very much in line with their profession.

The whole wax museum is simply a shrunken human world, and it is an absolutely perfect world.

But I don't know why, I always feel that these wax figures are a little familiar, which gives me a sense of déjà vu, especially the female wax figure in the studio, which makes me more familiar and always feels like I have seen it somewhere.

"The hippocampal effect, it must be the hippocampal effect." I muttered, kind of comforting myself.

After all, a lifelike wax figure is, to some extent, very scary.

This is the uncanny valley theory, when a non-human object reaches a certain degree of resemblance to a human in appearance and action, humans suddenly become extremely negative and disgusted with it.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that these statues were staring at me, which made me shudder a little, and I subconsciously shivered.

For a moment, I felt as if I had some insight into the eyes of these wax figures, as if they wanted to say something to me......
