Mysterious country

Chapter 187 case

After arriving in Xuancheng City, Xia Qi met with the community leaders here. After all, he was the one who first learned about the situation here and told Lao Li, so no one is more familiar with the things here than him.

The owner of the community is also a Mr. Yin and Yang, named Liu Zhitao, about 50 years old, with half-white hair and a slightly cunning face.

After Xia Qi met him, he found a nearby cafe.

"See what you want to drink?"

Xia Qi handed the drink menu to Liu Zhitao, Liu Zhitao shook his head after reading it and said:

"I'm not used to drinking these foreign things, just ask the waiter to serve a glass of water."

Xia Qi smiled after hearing this, and asked the waiter to serve him a cup of black coffee and a glass of water for Liu Zhitao.After the waiter left, Xia Qi said to Liu Zhitao:

"I think Lao Li has already told you about the situation on my side, so I won't say more."

"Well, Lao Li has already told me that he asked me to tell you what happened here."

Liu Zhitao nodded after hearing this, his gaze was observing Xia Qi intentionally or unintentionally.

"Since Lao Li said it, let's get straight to the point, what kind of supernatural event is it?"

Xia Qi asked straight to the point at this time.

"It would be more appropriate to describe it as a serial murder case."

"Serial murder? Didn't Lao Li tell you that I'm only interested in supernatural events?"

"No, you misunderstood, listen to me. The reason I say this is because the previous 2 murders were very strange.

The weirdness is mainly manifested in three aspects. First, the victims were all peeled off their body skin like fruit peeling, and then mailed to another victim's home.

It is very difficult for human beings to be able to peel the skin of the whole person, from the scalp to the skin of the feet without any damage.

Furthermore, there were only the victim's own fingerprints at the scene of the death, which looked like suicide at the scene alone.But how can a suicidal person peel off all the skin from head to corner and mail it to the victim?
Finally, the victim feels that he is in his own home, and that someone is watching him all the time.But he couldn't find the person watching at all. "

When Liu Zhitao said this, he deliberately paused, as if he had finished what he had to say, and also as if he was observing Xia Qi's reaction.

After carefully recalling Liu Zhitao's words in his mind, Xia Qi asked uncertainly:
"Listen to you, the victim and the victim are not the same person?"

"That's right. The victim I'm talking about is someone who has been killed. But the victim is someone else, but there is a certain connection between the two."

"How many people have died so far?"

"There have been two deaths, and both died of excessive blood loss after skinning."

"Then do the police know about the circumstances you mentioned? For example, the victim."

"The police don't know the victim's existence yet. I know so much because the victim found us first."

"The victim felt that someone was watching him at home all the time, and he received the dead skin. He didn't want to call the police and find Mr. Yin Yang? This is a bit unreasonable."

Looking at Liu Zhitao, Xia Qi always felt that there was some logical problem.

"In fact, the victim had already found me a few days ago, saying that he always felt that there were unclean things in the house. To be precise, the victim first called the police to no avail, then found me, and then received a The skin of a dead man flayed from a victim."

After hearing Liu Zhitao's explanation, Xia Qi felt that it was logically smoother.

The victim always felt that someone at home was watching him, so he reported to the police, but the police either ignored him or investigated to no avail.But the feeling of being watched and the feeling of something hidden in the house has always been strong, so the victim felt that something unclean had entered the house, so he turned to Liu Zhitao, who is quite famous in Xuancheng City, for help.

As a result, within two days, the victim's dead skin was received again.

After roughly smoothing it out in his heart, Xia Qi nodded and motioned Liu Zhitao to continue.

"The victim received dead skins one after another. He wanted to call the police, but thought that if the police got involved, it would be very detrimental to our side, so I advised him not to call the police."

When Liu Zhitao said this, the waiter brought up the coffee and warm water that Xia Qi had asked for earlier.

Liu Zhitao picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then looked at Xia Qi and said:
"I have investigated the victim's home, but it may be due to my limited ability, so I have not received any goods. Lao Li said before that as long as I tell you the general situation of the incident, you will use my Take over in name."

"That's right, if this matter is indeed a supernatural event, then we will solve it for you. As for the remuneration, it is all yours. We will publicize that we are your apprentices."

"Do you have this ability?"

Liu Zhitao asked suspiciously.

"If we can't solve this incident, I will compensate you 10 yuan. Of course, if you don't believe the verbal promise, you can also sign the contract."

Xia Qi didn't care about anything with Liu Zhitao, after all, being able to receive real private work is the most important thing.

"No, it's okay if you can't solve it, after all, this incident is very unusual, and I didn't think I could solve it.

Okay, I've said all I need to say, here's the victim's phone number, and his home address.I have work to do in a while, so I'll leave first. "

"Well, if you need anything, go directly to Lao Li."

"Ok."

Watching Liu Zhitao leave the cafe, Xia Qi took the note with the victim's mobile phone number and home address in front of him, but he didn't rush to dial it, but put the note in his arms, and then took a bite. Drink up the coffee in the cup.

After paying the bill and coming out of the cafe, Xia Qi drove to the Xuancheng Public Security Brigade. As for the purpose of coming here, of course, was to meet Zhao Jingshu.

Zhao Jingshu said that she was from the Investigation Section of the Public Security Brigade, so she should know something about this case.

After walking around the office building of the Public Security Brigade, Xia Qi found out where Zhao Jingshu was.

Going up to the third floor, outside the office at the innermost part of the corridor, Xia Qi knocked on the door a few times, and Zhao Jingshu's voice came from inside soon:

"Please come in."

With permission, Xia Qi opened the door and walked in, and at a glance, he saw Zhao Jingshu who was staring at the computer screen intently, not knowing what he was looking at.

"I thought you were lying to me before, but I didn't expect the man-in-law to be a policeman."

"Sky?"

It wasn't until she heard Xia Qi's voice that Zhao Jingshu raised her head in surprise, she didn't expect Xia Qi to come.

"Why...you really surprised me."

Zhao Jingshu walked over unexpectedly, Xia Qi looked at her and couldn't help teasing:

"You are still in the investigation department. I knocked on the door and came in. You are not willing to look up. What if you are a bad guy."

"You don't want to die if you are a bad guy, dare to come here!"
