After some jokes, the erupting Ye Huoshan entered the cooling-off period and said to Marcus Chi: "The person named Hu believes that Jiang Hang may be doing something dirty, so he asked the city bureau to send a few more people, and he should also pay attention to protect him while keeping tabs on him." It's safe. Even if Jiang Hang is really guilty, it's not his turn to punish him. If something happens to him, don't come back to see me. Do you understand?

Marcus Chi nodded seriously: "Understood."

"Clara Xiang will print out the information I handed over to you last night and send it to you all. Take a look at it. The news I have found out in the past few days is very fragmentary. I will string together the clues and share my thoughts--- Do you know the general story of Ethan Lu's case? "

Ethan Lu said: "I only read the files."

Nathan Ye was quite indifferent: "It's okay, it's enough, as long as you can understand what they are talking about. If you don't understand, just ask them when you get down."

Ethan Lu nodded: "Understood."

He has always been very good at interpreting subtext, and now he understands that Nathan Ye's key point is not to interrupt blindly.

Clara Xiang followed his instructions and distributed a heavy folder to everyone, and Ethan Lu also distributed a brand new file.

The folder was filled with A4 papers, full of pictures and texts, but of no use. They were full of names of places, people and companies. Except for a few that had appeared in files, Ethan Lu had never heard of them.

He was confused, but others saw the clue in the Book of Heaven. The first one to speak out was Felix Bai: "I know this P Mansion. Investigation shows that the deceased was a frequent visitor here during his lifetime."

Riley said: "What does it mean? Although P Mansion is one of the top high-end entertainment venues in the city, those little kids are not from ordinary families, so it is not unusual for them to come and go here."

"It's really strange," Nathan Ye clicked on the paper, "Look at page 43. Normally, they go there about once every ten days and a half, but before the case --- before the R@p3 case, one They were there every day on Sundays. After the incident, they stayed away for a long time due to the restrictions at home. They came to P's mansion again on the night of September 28th. They played all night. They left at 7 a.m. on the 29th and showed up in the evening. In Haiya Park, a murder occurred."

There was a sound of turning pages, and on the forty-three pages were various thumbnails, all of which were scenes of several people holding hands. The buildings in the background were elegant and noble, and the gleaming P Mansion logo was illuminated from certain angles.

"During the National Day, the criminal investigation team also investigated, but nothing was found." Chi Xiao said, "Besides, the investors of P Mansion are all prominent figures in the city and are not easily touched."

"Xu Zhuizi, say hello to the technical detectives on the seventh floor, and ask them to holographically restore the image data of the perimeter of P Mansion in the week before and after the "7.26 R@p3 case" and the week before and after the "9.30 murder case" ---It's covered, the city bureau has archived surveillance data---the sooner the better."

Clara Xiang kept his notebook in his hand, and after hearing this, he typed on the keyboard and said, "Understood."

Felix Bai said: "Then why doesn't Haiya Park perform holographic restoration?"

"The workload is too small, there is no use in killing chickens with a big knife---Haiya Park is a wetland ecological park, and there must be a lot of snakes and birds in it. You and Riley are responsible for going to Haiya to talk about relationships--- Mainly for "7.26" Jiang Xueying and "9.30" Hu. When will the video be completed and when will you get off work? "

As soon as he finished speaking, Riley and Felix Bai stood up and walked out without saying a word.

"Then Naomi Chi---" The phone rang suddenly.

Nathan Ye clicked his tongue and continued: "Bring it over."

Naomi Chi answered the call and handed it to him: "It's from Team Zhou."

Nathan Ye frowned slightly: "I'm busy, let go!"

Ethan Lu dug into the file silently and saw Nathan Ye's eyebrows tightening more and more, and finally said, "I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, he said: "Something happened at Hangkong University. Clara Xiang will collect all the information available in P's mansion, focusing on investigating those related to Hu Youwei. Chi Xie packs up and comes with me out of the scene."

"Why did the phone call come to you directly?" Chi Xie quickly took off his camera gloves and notebook and filled a bag full of them. "What case?"

"Said in the car. Fcuking blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly. My ancestors never deceived me --- By the way," Nathan Ye grabbed the keys and stopped suddenly, turning his head to look at the person who had zero sense of presence. Ethan Lu, "What are your plans?"

"Uh, you haven't arranged for me yet." Ethan Lu said.

Nathan Ye said thoughtfully: "Then let's go along and take you to the first crime scene to open your eyes."

Ethan Lu: "...Okay." Although I am not fully mentally prepared, there seems to be no room for rejection.

Naomi Chi frowned: "He has no experience, so he is not suitable."

"Isn't this just to give him more experience?" Nathan Ye pointed to the big bag behind Chi Xie, "If a young comrade has to be discerning, how can he let a beautiful woman do manual labor?"

Ethan Lu hurriedly went to pick her up: "I'm sorry, Sister Chi, I'll do it."

"Don't pay attention to him---he's not serious." Naomi Chi opened the passenger door and sat in with his bag in his arms. "He has such a bad temper. When others do the work, he gets the good name. Don't take him too seriously." It's okay, just get used to it."

Nathan Ye drove the police car out of Yijing Bureau and smiled when he heard this: "Look what you said, I like him so I just mentioned a few words. You have to learn the rules of the world and the workplace. You have been here for a lifetime. You have been used to it for the rest of your life." he?"

The relationship between the two of them was obviously unusual. This kind of conversation that was purely educational made Ethan Lu quite uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to remain silent amid the aroma of dog food.

The topic didn't go too far, and Nathan Ye got back to the point: "A human skin was found in the guest house of Aviation University. The city bureau picked it up. Lao Yiyi found me when he arrived at the scene."

"Human skin?" Chi Xie's expression froze, and Ethan Lu saw the solemn look on her profile, thinking that I was not the only one who was ignorant.

His mind flashed through all the famous scenes of Painted Skin, Human Skin Inn, and Human Skin Killer, and he felt a chill.

Nathan Ye said leisurely: "That's why I called you."

Chi Xun said nothing and took her mobile phone to send a message. After a while, she said: "My family has no records of going out." She paused again and asked, "Could it be?"

What is it?

Ethan Lu was a little curious. Nathan Ye murmured when he heard this and said, "It's best not."

Why are you still playing riddles? Lu Zhouxin said, give the newcomers a dungeon guide.

The destination was a bit far away. It took Nathan Ye 40 minutes to drive there. There was a police officer at the entrance of the Aviation University. He came up to the public when he saw them: "Hello, Captain Ye. Brother Zhou asked me to pick you up."

Nathan Ye asked him to get in the car, followed his directions and drove the car into the campus to a guest house.

This aviation university is very beautiful, with Gothic architecture, like a castle complex. If there wasn't a case happening, I would have wanted to get out of the car and walk around all day long.

Nathan Ye parked the car at the foot of a large slope. Two police cars were parked next to it. There was a thick circle of people outside the cordon on the slope. The policeman who was maintaining order downstairs saw Nathan Ye and struggled to clear the way for him. : "Classmate, please let --- Captain Ye go this way."

Nathan Ye walked upstairs with long legs and said, "Where is it?"

"Room 402 on the fourth floor is right here." The little policeman raised the cordon and shouted at the door: "Brother Zhou, Captain Ye is here."

A man in a leather jacket stuck his head out and said, "You're damn sure you're here, yo, Miss Chi is here too."

"Captain Zhou, how do you clean my head?" Naomi Chi said angrily.

"Let me describe it objectively." Captain Zhou laughed, patted Nathan Ye's shoulder and let him in first, then his eyes fell on Ethan Lu, "Who is this?"

"Oh, the new guy in our team is Ethan Lu. This is Captain Zhou Yue Kang Zhou of the Criminal Investigation Team." Naomi Chi introduced.

"Hello, Captain Zhou." Ethan Lu bent down slightly and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, hello," Zhou Yuekang looked upright and his smile was full of masculinity, "So I am a colleague of the Criminal Investigation Branch No. 2. I will represent ---"

"What are you talking about? Come in and talk about the case!" Nathan Ye roared in the room.

Zhou Yuekang didn't get angry even after being yelled at. He shrugged helplessly and walked in. Ethan Lu also followed Chi Xue in.

There were seven or eight people standing in the small space, including two forensic doctors, taking notes with a polite expression.

The single bed in the guest house was turned over, with four feet looking at the sky. There seemed to be something stuck under the bed board. It was human-shaped and flesh-colored, with a thin layer. Ethan Lu understood it after taking a glance and didn't get closer to take a closer look.

Nathan Ye was leaning on the bed with his head lowered, his sharp lips almost pursed into a thin line, and he said to Zhou Yuekang: "Who called the police?"

Zhou Yuekang said: "The guest who checked in found something banging under the bed when he was taking a nap. He searched for it several times but couldn't find it. Finally he got so angry that he turned over the bed - and then he found this, human skin. "He paused and said, "The forensic examination has been carried out. Lao Wang is here to explain to Captain Ye."

The older forensic doctor said: "The deceased was a female, she should be between 20-25 years old. There were no obvious wounds on her body, and the cause of death is unknown." The forensic doctor's Adam's apple moved and he continued with difficulty, "The internal tissue melted --- Including organs, flesh and blood, and even bones. Corpse fluid mainly leaked from the Vag!n@, anus and soles of the deceased, with a small amount leaking from the mouth, nose and ears. This is preliminary observation and judgment, and more detailed information will be obtained after returning to the bureau. This can only be determined after skin analysis and dissection."

His voice was not loud, but Ethan Lu felt sick to his stomach.

Nathan Ye's expression didn't change. He put on his gloves and said, "I'll call the city bureau after I check it. Come over here, Chi Xie. Is this the scene of the first crime?" He pointed to the spot on the ground. Unidentified brown marks on the stall, "The quantity is not very similar."

"This will only be known after analysis by colleagues from the Trace Inspection Department." Zhou Yuekang said, "I have already informed ---"

"No need." Naomi Chi squatted on the ground and looked at it for a while, rubbing his gloved hands on the marks on the ground. The expression on his face was not good, "Just let the Yijing Bureau take over."

Everyone in the room was startled. As soon as Zhou Yuekang raised his hand, the forensic doctor and several other police officers went out. Ethan Lu hesitated for a moment, but still stood still.

After all, he is considered a member of the Yijing Bureau.

"Are you sure?" Zhou Yuekang asked solemnly.

"Confirmed." Naomi Chi had already started to make a call. After a few brief explanations, he looked at Nathan Ye, "This is the painting-skin killing technique. Make a cross on the sole of the foot, penetrate the target's body through the wound on the left, and gnaw at the original host's body. The soul takes over the physical body. During this process, the flesh and blood bitten by the painted-skinned ghost will turn into blood and be excreted out of the body. "

Ethan Lu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and even forgot to take notes: Is the Painted Skin Ghost she was talking about the one from Liaozhai?

However, the expressions of the other two people did not change. Nathan Ye was even able to calmly ask the question: "Then why is the human skin still here?"

Naomi Chi's face turned even more ugly. He held the human skin with one hand and said, "It was eaten."

"The mantis hunted the cicada and the oriole followed, but it was eaten by something more powerful, flesh and blood and soul."
