Chapter 209: Skinning and Stuffing (Monthly Pass Plus)
"Xu Kun, 27 years old, from Tieshi, dropped out of school ten years ago, and came to Liancheng with Li Pinghao."
On the way to the interrogation room, Zhang Chaoyang was introducing Xu Kun's basic situation to Chen Yan.
"These two people have not done any serious work in the past few years, and both have a criminal record of theft and robbery."
"Xu Kun was released two years ago and is now working in a car repair shop."
"Li Pinghao was released three years ago and works in the same car repair shop as Xu Kun."
After hearing the general situation, Chen Yan thought for a while: "Arrange someone to go to the car repair shop where the two work to investigate the relationship between the two."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
...
In the interrogation room, Chen Yan saw Xu Kun.
At first glance, this is a gangster.
His hair was dyed shit yellow, there were tattoos on his arms, and he looked unruly.
Sitting behind the interrogation chair, his legs kept shaking, his hands were not honest, and he made a lot of small movements.
"Are you Xu Kun?"
"Sir, I haven't done anything wrong, why did you arrest me?"
He had a tone and expression that he learned from movies, so careless.
This was the first time Chen Yan had seen such a person.
Bang!
Chen Yan had seen few, but Zhang Chaoyang had seen many.
To deal with such a gangster, you can't be soft.
"Xu Kun!"
"Be honest, kid."
"I called you here, so cooperate well and don't ask for trouble!"
Xu Kun, who was frightened by Zhang Chaoyang, finally restrained himself.
"Two police officers, I have changed since I got out."
"I have been learning skills in the repair shop for the past two years, and I haven't done anything bad."
I haven't done anything bad?
Hmph.
Zhang Chaoyang snorted coldly.
No one would believe you.
Chen Yan looked at Xu Kun, who had yellow hair, and was not angry.
It's not worth getting angry with such a person.
"Xu Kun, I called you here because I want to know about Li Pinghao's affairs."
"Haozi? What happened to him?"
Hearing Chen Yan mention Li Pinghao's name, Xu Kun's face changed slightly.
Hmm?
Chen Yan looked up and looked at this Xu Kun.
Why did Xu Kun react so strongly?
"Xu Kun...you...know that Li Pinghao is in trouble?"
"Uh...ah..."Perhaps he realized that he was a little anxious.
Xu Kun rolled his eyes: "Ah, no, it's just that I haven't seen this guy for a long time."
"Will this guy steal things again?"
"Officer, I tell you, this has nothing to do with me, I definitely didn't participate..."
Chen Yan and Zhang Chaoyang looked at each other.
This Xu Kun...
There is a problem!
Chen Yan didn't say anything, just mentioned Li Pinghao's name, and this guy reacted so strongly.
And, he immediately pretended to be indifferent.
It would be strange if he said there was no problem.
"Xu Kun," Chen Yan's voice was not loud, but Xu Kun immediately calmed down.
It can be seen that Xu Kun's attention has always been on Chen Yan and Zhang Chaoyang.
"Don't play it safe, I can tell you clearly."
"I called you here because... Li Pinghao is dead!"
Dead?
Boom!
Xu Kun, who was just careless, suddenly froze and turned pale.
"Dead... Haozi... dead?"
He finally muttered unconsciously.
"Xu Kun, Li Pinghao and you share a house. You two are childhood friends. You came to Liancheng together after dropping out of school."
"In Liancheng, you can be said to be the closest to him."
"But Li Pinghao is dead now, you..."
"Xu Kun, you are a major suspect."
Chen Yan's words were like a steel fork, stabbing into Xu Kun's heart.
"No, no, no!"
"I didn't kill him!"
"Haozi and I are childhood friends. We have known each other since we were young. How could I kill him!"
Bang!
Chen Yan's eyes were like knives, staring at Xu Kun's eyes:
"Then tell me everything about Li Pinghao."
"When did he disappear?"
"As his roommate, why didn't you call the police after he disappeared for such a long time?"
"Also, does Li Pinghao have any enemies, does he have a girlfriend, all the information, tell me clearly!"
"Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything I know."
"Mouse... Oh, that's Li Pinghao, his nickname is Mouse."
"Three months ago, Li Pinghao stopped living in the rental house three months ago."
"Why, does he have another place to live?"
"No, no, he has no other place to live. Three months ago, he owed Ermao Gaolidai and couldn't pay it back. He was afraid that Ermao would beat him, so he hid away."
Ermao?
"Tell me clearly, who is this Ermao?"
"Ermao is a nickname, his original name is... Li Baoku..."
Xu Kun explained very thoroughly.
In Liancheng, Li Pinghao has a girlfriend besides his childhood friend.
Li Pinghao's girlfriend is Gao Tiantian, who used to work at the Meihao Entertainment Club on Lanling Street.
However, recently Liu Qingshan and his men have been very strict.
Gao Tiantian has been arrested twice in the past few months and recently found a job selling clothes.
Xu Kun explained that although he didn't know where Gao Tiantian worked specifically, he had her contact information.
There is also Ermao Li Baoku, who runs a financial company.
To put it bluntly, it is the legendary Gao Li Dai Company.
Li Pinghao borrowed 50,000 yuan from Li Baoku's company half a year ago.
Never paid it back.
Li Baoku has threatened Li Pinghao twice.
"You don't know that this Ermao hates me so much that no one has ever refused to pay him money."
"The rat was scared. Three months ago he said he would go back to his hometown and hide."
"As a result, I never contacted him again."
"Because of this, I even went to find Li Baoku, but in the end, I was beaten up by them..."
Leave the interrogation room.
Zhang Chaoyang looked at Chen Yan: "How about this Xu Kun, do you think there is anything wrong with it?"
Chen Yan shook his head: "Not sure yet."
"However, this boy probably didn't lie..."
"But there must be something that has not been explained clearly."
Three months.
Li Pinghao disappeared for three months.
Although I have already told you that I am going to run away.
However, I couldn't get in touch for such a long time.
This Xu Kun and Li Pinghao's girlfriend are not in a hurry at all?
Let’s not talk about calling the police. Since they couldn’t contact Li Pinghao for a long time, why didn’t they find him?
"Chaoyang, communicate with Captain Liu and find this Gao Tiantian."
"Check the phone call records and chat software information between the two of them in the past three months."
"I suspect that Xu Kun knows something, but he didn't tell us..."
"There is also Ermao Li Baoku. Let's investigate this person secretly."
According to Xu Kun, before Li Pinghao disappeared, he was only involved with Li Baoku, nicknamed Ermao.
Although Xu Kun didn't say it explicitly, in Xu Kun's view, if something happened to Li Pinghao, it was Li Baoku's fault.
Zhang Chaoyang began to advance new investigation work.
The inspection by the technical department was finally completed in the morning.
In the conference room, Wang Laisheng of the first team made a report.
"According to laboratory tests, the deceased's skin was soaked in formalin solution and then dehydrated."
"This allows the skin to maintain elasticity and prevent decay to a certain extent."
"However, there are still active cells in the inner layer of the skin. According to the test results, this kind of antiseptic preservation can only last about half a year."
Switching to the screen photo, Wang Laisheng continued to report: "At the same time, we detected a mercury reaction in the folds of the skin?"
mercury?
"You mean, metallic mercury?"
"How come there is such a thing?"
Wang Laisheng's face was heavy and he was operating the computer.
"It's not surprising that there's mercury!"
"Do you know how the murderer removed the entire human skin perfectly?"
"The secret lies in this mercury."
Half an hour later.
In the conference room, only Chen Yan, Liu Qingshan, and Zhao Bing were still there.
other people……
Including Wang Gang and Zhang Chaoyang, they all ran out.
Nothing else but being disgusted by Wang Laisheng.
According to Wang Laisheng, the murderer used an ancient criminal method.
Peeling the skin and filling it with grass has been practiced since ancient times.
There are generally two methods of peeling.
One is to start from the back of the criminal's head, cut it to the buttocks, and then peel away the adhesion of human skin and muscles little by little.
The human skin on both sides resembles butterfly wings.
Therefore, this peeling method is also called bloody butterfly.
The other is to cut the skin from the chest and back together, peeling it off, and finally form two pieces, called Shuangfeiyan.
However, of these two execution methods, it is easier to deal with thin people.
However, obese people have too much subcutaneous fat and it is difficult to separate it.
Later, some doctors discovered that people were buried in the ground up to their necks.
Then, a cross-cut knife was made on the person's head, and a large amount of mercury was poured into the wound on the head little by little.
Mercury can perfectly tear apart human skin and fat.
This process is extremely painful for the victim, but he cannot die for a while.
Eventually, the whole person will break free from the human skin because it cannot bear the severe pain.
However, what came out was only flesh and blood and bones.
The human skin remained intact underground.
Wang Laisheng pointed to the photo on the screen: "The wax in the human skin wax figure is different from the wax composition in other wax figures."
"It is a low-temperature wax water that melts at a lower temperature and will not damage human skin."
"The murderer made the human skin embalmed and then directly poured it into wax water to finally take shape."
"So, the entire wax statue has no flaws, and the human skin has no damage except for the cross knife on the top of the head..."
Chen Yan glanced at Wang Laisheng, who seemed a little drunk.
this……
Now it doesn't feel like I'm reporting on the autopsy, but rather like I'm appreciating a piece of art.
Chen Yan and Zhao Bing looked at each other and went out.
Only Liu Qingshan was left in the conference room, staring at Wang Laisheng with a livid face.
