For straight!

The white snow covered the whole city, Yi gestured, and the snow outside was almost as thick as 20cm.

Early in the morning, the cleaners were extremely busy, and they all went into battle with big shovels and big bamboo brooms.The shops on the street also open their doors early to clean up the snow in front of the doors to facilitate business.

A certain citizen came to a small river near his home with his tools. He dug a hole out of the ice on the river surface, then fixed the fishing rod, hung up the bait, and put the line into the hole.

It didn't take long to catch several fishes, and he thought, if he fished for a while, it might be enough to eat for several days.

The fishing rod suddenly sank.The big fish is hooked!He quickly reeled in the line, it was very heavy, the fish probably weighed seven or eight catties.

However, the reality is always so unsatisfactory, he caught a plastic bag.When I opened it, it looked like the skin of something was frozen in the water.

He shook the skin, and accidentally revealed a strange spot, like... like a female son?But it doesn't look like a pig, and I can't tell it's any other animal, but it looks a bit like...

He was so startled that he threw the bag directly on the ice. He didn't care how cold the water in the river was, so he washed his hands and tremblingly took out his mobile phone to call the police.

Yi has to be busy.

At noon, someone called the police saying that a human skin was caught in the river, which was a woman's.

In a cold environment, the rate of decay is very slow, and it is difficult to detect how long the skin's owner has been dead.The medical examiner said it was certain that the skin had been slightly decomposed before it was thrown into the water.

However, the skin is still intact, and the facial features are all there, so it is not difficult to identify the identity.

"In all likelihood, it's the ghost of the painted skin. Instant Noodles hastened to confirm the identity of the victim. Yi Yan and Xu Rao went to visit the small river where the human skin was found, and asked if there was anyone behaving strangely recently." Yu Hai said, "When the victim's identity is confirmed, Yi and Yi Tian will go to the victim's house to have a look."

"Yes!"

"Even if the Painted Skin Ghost is wearing human skin, walking on the street is still different from a real person, right?" Yi didn't quite understand.

Yi Tian said: "Of course there is a difference. Generally speaking, painted skin ghosts will eat the victim's body after killing people until there is only a piece of skin left, and then hide in the human skin to live like a normal person, but the skin is dead after all. Not only is it lifeless, but it will start to rot within a few days, and the Painted Skin Ghost will find the next target before the skin rots."

"So... there have been at least a few victims during this time."

"Well, but it's winter now, and the preservation time of the corpses is longer than that in summer. From the time of the car accident to now, at least two of them were killed. I don't know where the other skins were thrown away."

After a while, Instant Noodles found out the victim's information.

Yang Wenwen, female, 21 years old, is a sophomore in a three-ben university in this city. She has no relatives and no reason.

Yi and Yi Tian went to Yang Wenwen's rental house, and they got the key from an intermediary.

Yang Wenwen lives in a very small room, just big enough to fit a single bed, a desk, and a wardrobe.The decoration here is not very good, but it is very clean.

I don't know if Painted Skin Ghost lived here for a few days.

I went to her university again, and my classmates said that she was a very withdrawn person, she didn't like to talk, and she didn't have any sense of existence at all. If the police didn't ask her, they didn't even know that Yang Wenwen hadn't come for many days. school.

The place where Yang Wenwen works is a convenience store. The boss said that she has not been here for almost half a month. She has made many phone calls, but no one has answered. It can only be treated as she left the job without authorization, and the rest of the salary is naturally gone. Give.

The boss also said that she didn't like to talk when she was here before. She would only say a word or two to the customer when she was checking out, and it was all about work.She and her colleagues never talked about things in their own lives, not at all, and it was the same on the last day of her work here, there was no abnormality.

They looked at the surveillance again, and they really didn't see anything. At that time, she was probably still alive.

According to Yi Tian, ​​the next victim should have had contact with Yang Wenwen in the week after Yang Wenwen left the convenience store.

They checked all the surveillance cameras near Yang Wenwen's rented house. They needed to check her movements and who she had contacted that week.They don't have much time, maybe in a few days, there will be new victims.

Fortunately, she didn't have many contacts, and the information of those people's instant noodles was quickly found.But not every place can be seen by monitoring, there are always some blind spots.What happened in the blind corner is more difficult to find out.

"This girl, I didn't mean her, she was gloomy all day long, her face was terrible, she wasn't angry at all, you said it's winter, and it's almost Chinese New Year, so go see her if you're sick, she's always wandering outside to scare people What?"

"Yeah, yeah, she feels sick, and when I see her, I run away."

"She seems to have been here for two days, and asked her if she was not feeling well, and she didn't speak, just looked around with her eyes, that look, I panicked when I saw me!"

……

People who have met her have a deep impression of her, but they are all gay. Probably at that time, she was no longer her.

The phone rang suddenly, Yi looked down, it was Yu Hai.

"Yi, I've read the list of people who the victim of Instant Noodles had contacted with. Among them is a girl named Liu Wan, who was Liu Xuan's little neighbor girl before he was alive, and she can be regarded as an accomplice in Liu Xuan's murder."

"What?!" Yi was stunned for two seconds, and several seemingly parallel lines suddenly intertwined in his mind.He shook his head and said, "Okay, I see."

"What's the matter?" Yi Tian looked at him strangely. Is there any important clue on the other end of the phone?

Yi: "Let me think about it."

As he spoke, he walked into a milk tea shop and ordered a large cup of pearl milk tea. After taking two sips, he slowly began to clear his mind.

Why did Liu Xuan go to the mall that day?Because he saw the girl next door before his death, but that girl was walking with a ghost in human skin. For some unknown reason, maybe it was worry, maybe it was hatred, which made him follow.

"Yi Tian, ​​let's check the monitoring of that shopping mall again. I want to take a closer look at the monitoring of the day when the murder happened."

"Row."

The surveillance on the first floor showed that, just as Yi guessed, Yang Wenwen and Liu Wan walked into the shopping mall together. They first entered a gold and silver jewelry store, then came out after a while, and then took the escalator to the clothing store on the second floor. Shops, one by one, just like normal girls shopping, the two of them bought a little things, and both carried a bag in their hands.

Not long after, the two entered the elevator.About 10 minutes later, Liu Wan got out of the elevator on the first floor and left alone.

Looking at the monitoring of the underground parking lot, within half an hour after the two girls got into the elevator, Ma Chuan was the only one, Yang Wenwen and Liu Wan were not there at all.

"Could it be that the surveillance has been tampered with?" Yi asked.

"It's very possible, after all, the other party is a very strong ghost."

"Lin Yi, do you want to stop talking to Team Yu and ask Liu Xuan to come over again?" Yi Tian asked while driving.They backed up the monitoring records of that day and prepared to take them back. I don’t know if there is a way for Cup Noodles to restore the process captured by the monitoring that day.

Yi said: "Liu Xuan won't talk about it anymore. When he talked about this case last time, he was vague. It gave me the feeling that it wasn't that he didn't know, but that he didn't dare to say it."

"Okay, got it."

Cup Noodles: "Wake up, please? This is something from Yangjian, how could I mess with it?"

Yi: "Didn't you be a Hongke in your lifetime...and this stuff was tampered with by ghosts."

Cup Noodles: "Let me tell you, I'm just a soul, I don't have a body, don't talk about repairing this thing, even if you ask me to type something on the computer, I can't type it out!"

Yi: "..."

"Okay, okay, we have to make it together." Without saying a word, instant noodles, plugged in the USB flash drive, and started tinkering.

At this moment, Yi felt that it was more reliable to be alive.
