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

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

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

"See what you want to drink?"

Xia Qi handed the menu of the drink 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 coffee and a glass of water to Liu Zhitao. After the waiter left, Xia Qi said to Liu Zhitao:

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

"Well, Lao Li has already told me, and he asked me to tell you about this side of the matter."

Liu Zhitao nodded after hearing this, and his eyes had been observing Xia Qi intentionally or unintentionally.

"Since Lao Li said it, let's go straight to the point, what kind of supernatural incident is it."

Xia Qi asked directly at this time.

"It would be better described as a serial homicide."

"Serial homicides? Didn't Lao Li tell you that I was only interested in supernatural events? ”

"No, you're mistaken, listen to me. The reason I say this is because the 2 previous homicides were weird.

The strangeness is mainly manifested in three aspects, the first is that the victim was completely peeled off the skin of the body like a peeling fruit, and then mailed to the home of another victim.

The kind of skin that peels the entire human skin, from the scalp to the skin of the feet, without the slightest damage, is something that no human can do.

Again. At the scene of death, there were only the fingerprints of the victims, and it looked like a suicide on the scene alone. But how can a person who commits suicide pull off the skin of his whole body from head to corner and mail it to the victim?

Finally, it is the victim who feels that he is in his own home, and that someone is watching him all the time. But he couldn't find the person who was watching. ”

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

After carefully recalling Liu Zhitao's words in his mind, he listened to Xia Qi ask uncertainly:

"Listen to you, the victim and the victim are not alone?"

"That's right. When I say victims, I mean people who have already been killed. But the victim is someone else, but there is a connection between the two. ”

"How many people are dying so far?"

"There have been two deaths, both of them from blood loss after skinning."

"So do the police know about what you're talking about? Take the victim, for example. ”

"The police are not aware of the existence of the victim yet. I would know so much because that victim found us first. ”

"The victim felt that there were people watching him at home all the time, and he received a dead man's skin, so he didn't want to call the police to find Mr. Yin and Yang? This is a bit unconscionable. ”

Xia Qi looked at Liu Zhitao and always felt that there was something wrong with logic.

"In fact, the victim had already approached me a few days earlier and said that he always felt that there was something unclean in the house. To be precise, it was the victim who called the police first to no avail. That's when I was found, and then I received the skin of a dead man who had been skinned from the victim's body. ”

Heard Liu Zhitao's explanation. Xia Qi felt that it was logically smoother.

The victim always felt that someone was watching him at home, so he reported it to the police, but the police either ignored him or the investigation was fruitless. But the feeling of being watched, and the feeling that something is hidden in the house, has always been strong, so the victim thinks that something unclean has come in the house. So he turned to Liu Zhitao, who was quite famous in Xuancheng City.

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

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

"The victim received the dead human skin and he wanted to call the police. But I thought that if the police got involved, it would be very bad for our side, so I advised him not to call the police yet. ”

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

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 perhaps because of my limited ability, I did not receive any of the goods. Lao Li said before that I only need to tell you the general situation of the incident, and you will take over in my name. ”

"That's right, if this matter is true and it is a supernatural event, then we will solve it for you, and as for the remuneration, it is all yours, and we will publicize that it is your apprentice."

"Do you have what it takes?"

Liu Zhitao asked suspiciously.

"If we can't solve this incident, I will compensate you 100,000 yuan, of course, if you don't believe in verbal promises, you can also sign a contract."

Xia Qi didn't have anything to do with Liu Zhitao, after all, it was the most important thing to be able to receive real private work.

"No, in fact, it's nothing if you can't solve it, after all, this incident is very extraordinary, and I don't think I can solve it.

Okay, I've already said everything I need to say, here's the victim's phone number, and his home address. I still have a job to do in a moment, so I'll go first. ”

"Well, if you need to find Lao Li directly."

"Okay."

Watching Liu Zhitao leave the café, 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 into his arms, and then drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp.

After settling the account and coming out of the café, Xia Qi drove to the Xuancheng City Public Security Brigade, as for the purpose of coming here, it was naturally to see Zhao Jingshu.

Zhao Jingshu said that she was a member of the Investigation Department of the Public Security Brigade, so she should know a little about this case.

After walking around the office building of the Public Security Brigade, Xia Qi found out about Zhao Jingshu's office.

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

"Please come in."

With permission, Xia Qi pushed the door and walked in, and at a glance saw Zhao Jingshu, who was staring intently at the computer screen and didn't know what he was looking at.

"I thought you were lying to me, but I didn't expect the man's wife to be a policeman."

"Tianqi?"

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

"How do you ...... I was so pleasantly surprised. ”

Zhao Jingshu came over with some surprise, Xia Qi looked at her and couldn't help but joke:

"You're still in the Investigation Department, I knocked on the door and came in, and you don't want to look up, what if it's a bad guy."

"You don't want to die as a bad person, dare to come here!" (To be continued.) )
