Yun Chuan flipped through the creepy photos in his hand.

It clearly shows the tragic condition of the victims, both full and partial.

The dead were all women, their skins had been skinned, revealing miserable white flesh, bruises everywhere, and had rotted in many places, making them look horrific and terrifying.

"I was shocked when I saw it before."

Kudo Shinichi took out the autopsy report and said with a solemn expression: "According to the results of the police autopsy, the cause of death of the deceased was mechanical asphyxiation, and methyltriazole chlordiapam was found in the blood, so the murderer should have anesthetized it and then strangled him with a rope." ”

"After an examination of the body, it was determined that the skin of the whole body had been stripped of when he was alive and worn on a plastic mannequin like clothes."

Hearing this, Yun Chuan smacked his mouth: "Peeled off the skin when you were alive...... It seems that the murderer of this skinned rape and murder case is also a patient with the same psychological distortion as Qi Jianshao. ”

Kudo Shinichi nodded with a wry smile.

In all the years he has been a detective, what cases has he not encountered?

The case of skinning people alive is really the first time I have encountered it.

It always felt as if I had strayed from the original course.

Kudo Shinichi shook his head, shook off his useless thoughts, and said: "The most troublesome thing about this case is that it is impossible to find the first crime scene, and even if it is found, it will be cleaned up." ”

This is also the reason why he chose to turn to Yunchuan for help.

The murderer in this case is a rather intelligent and cautious guy, and it is almost impossible to leave a clue due to negligence.

Therefore, if we want to catch him, we can only gradually analyze and summarize his characteristics from his behavior.

This candidate must be Yunchuan.

Yun Chuan must be able to draw a psychological portrait of the murderer.

"The targets chosen by the killers are all women, and the targets are all very beautiful."

Yun Chuan looked at the photos, as if he suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked up at Kudo Shinichi: "Although this case is called a skinned rape and murder case, there is no trace of the deceased being raped. ”

Kudo Shinichi nodded and said, "The reason why the word rape was added is because there are traces of sadism in the deceased's private parts. ”

Hearing this, Yun Chuan instantly frowned.

"How so?"

This does not qualify as a mark of a crime.

“…… What? Hearing Yun Chuan's muttering, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but be stunned.

"Something is wrong, 12 points wrong."

Yun Chuan shook his head and muttered: "In the process of committing a series of crimes, serial killers will always carry out a certain special behavior in order to satisfy a certain need in psychological or emotional aspects, which is often called a marking behavior. ”

"It can reflect the potential personality, life type and experience of the murderer, and the corresponding evidence can be found in the interaction between the murderer, the victim and the scene."

There is no doubt that the act of skinning the murderer alive is to obtain some kind of satisfaction for himself, which is the so-called "act of marking".

However, this is the part that puzzles Yunchuan the most.

"His skinning techniques and skills are not very good."

Yun Chuan rubbed his chin and thought: "But the stitches for sewing human skin are fine and neat, he must be a careful and patient person, just like a woman who patiently sews clothes." ”

Is the murderer a woman?

"Nope."

Yun Chuan shook his head expressionlessly, and said in a firm tone, "The murderer is a man, and he is a man with transvestism and even gender dysphoria. ”

Kudo Shinichi asked curiously, "Why?" ”

"Because he put a woman's skin on a male model." Yun Chuan added in an aggravated tone, "This is no coincidence! ”

In other words, he wants to become a woman?!

Kudo Shinichi's pupils shrank at first, and then he frowned and said, "In that case, why are there traces of sadism?" ”

Is it sadistic and transvestite at the same time?

Yun Chuan shook his head and looked at the files again.

Perhaps, those sadistic traces were not caused by the murderer's assault.

Sure enough, he soon found a clue.

"See?" Yun Chuan stretched out his finger and tapped on the photo, "There is a caterpillar in the deceased's private parts. ”

This is an important clue that has been ignored by the police.

What does a caterpillar mean?

“…… Spallation? ”

Kudo Shinichi's eyes flickered, and he replied after a moment of thought.

Caterpillars can turn into chrysalis and then metamorphose into beautiful butterflies.

"That's right."

Yun Chuan and Kudo Shinichi looked at each other and said word by word: "The murderer wants to change his gender, he wants to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly!" ”

"He must have had an unhappy childhood, often subjected to violence, sexual abuse by men, which made him disgusted with his identity......"

Yun Chuan slowly closed his eyes, and said in a silent voice: "He is about 20 to 30 years old, his figure is very thin, his personality is inferior and sensitive, he will not stop there!" ”

"Won't stop there?" Kudo Shinichi frowned, "You mean, the skins of those dead people don't satisfy him, and he will continue to commit crimes?" ”

"No, it's not."

Yun Chuan exhaled deeply and said unhurriedly: "The skins of these people are already beautiful enough. ”

"However, good-looking skins are the same, and interesting souls are one in a thousand."

As he spoke, Yun Chuan slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze stayed on the photo of the deceased before his death: "He's waiting, he's looking." ”

"In addition to good-looking skins, that greedy guy wants interesting souls."

Kudo Shinichi looked at Yunchuan dumbfounded.

But when I saw his eyes, I couldn't help but shudder.

- Cold, tired, yet sharp, as if the light could pierce the clouds and see the darkness in anyone's heart.

There was a sudden silence between the two.

“…… Clouds, clouds. ”

After a while, Kudo Shinichi cautiously probed, "You, are you okay?" ”

Yun Chuan came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and the strange color in his eyes gradually dissipated.

"It's fine."

Yun Chuan shook his head, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned: "But I think, something is about to happen." ”

Jingle bells! Jingle bells!

Almost at the same time as Yunchuan's voice fell, Kudo Shinichi's mobile phone rang suddenly.

"Hey, I'm Shinichi Kudo."

Shinichi Kudo answered the phone and listened to the voice over there, his brows gradually furrowed.

"Well, well, I see, I'll go over now."

After a moment, he hung up the call and looked at Yun Chuan with a strange gaze.

"What's wrong?" Yun Chuan asked rhetorically with a smile.

“…… You're not really a bartender, you're a prophet, right? ”

Kudo Shinichi sighed, and then waved his phone: "News from the Metropolitan Police Department, the murderer suspected of skinning rape and murder has reappeared." ”
