I'm a street kid, but my wife, a policewoman, won't divorce her

Chapter 683: Face?

"Captain Cao, he has a big problem!"

Liu Dayou's voice on the other end of the phone was very solemn, which made Chen Xiao take it seriously immediately.

"What's the problem? Just tell me the key points!"

"I never understood the divination I gave him before, but after thinking about it, I found that Captain Cao's divination revealed the meaning of yin and yang."

"I told you to get to the point. Even if you understand what I'm saying, I don't have time to think about it."

Liu Dayou smiled bitterly: "Yin Yang can be understood as positive and negative, or good and evil. This meaning is that Captain Cao may not be a very pure detective."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Xiao's gaze immediately froze.

He really didn't like having to be on guard against detectives when investigating a case.

But sometimes he is also very clear that it is impossible for all the people in any circle to be good.

Chen Xiao always takes Liu Dayou's divination very seriously, so he doesn't dare to be careless.

However, Liu Dayou obviously had something else to say.

"The second meaning is also derived from the Yin-Yang hexagram, and that is life and death."

"Captain Cao's hexagram indicates that he may survive a great disaster. If he can survive, then Captain Cao's future will be smooth sailing."

After listening, Chen Xiao also asked cautiously:

"So what you mean is that if Captain Cao is both good and evil, then the evil is the majority. But if the hexagram is about life and death, then Captain Cao is about to face a dead end, right?"

"Yes, but the hexagrams have yin and yang, so there may be other extensions. It's just that I can't comprehend them all at present."

After thinking for a while, Chen Xiao said, "Then, you should study his hexagram carefully. If you need anything else, just tell me."

"Okay, Brother Chen, I'll do my best."

Chen Xiao nodded and hung up the phone.

Once he learned the hexagrams, Chen Xiao realized that it was difficult to get a direct meaning.

There is a hexagram placed there, and the deep meaning contained in it needs to be interpreted by the person who is reading the hexagram.

After ending the call, Chen Xiao did not say anything to Qin Feiming.

Because Tan Fei is more familiar with Cao Xiuyuan than him.

Sometimes the more familiar you are with someone, the harder it is to believe what kind of person they are.

What's more, Liu Dayou's hexagrams do not have a very accurate meaning, and Liu Dayou's abilities fluctuate.

Sometimes it hits home, sometimes it's completely irrelevant.

Chen Xiao and Qin Fei casually explained Liu Dayou's call, and then continued walking in the corridor.

After observing the corridors of two floors in a row, Chen Xiao grabbed Qin Fei again when he entered the fourth floor:

"Captain Qin, have you noticed that the layout and even the appearance of the corridors here are extremely similar?"

Why did Chen Xiao mention appearances?
The appearance includes the aging state of the wall and the layout of the shoe cabinets placed in every household in the corridor, which are almost the same.

Qin Fei nodded heavily: "I saw it too, it is indeed almost exactly the same."

"But every family living here comes from all corners of the country. They are neither relatives nor friends. How do they achieve such tacit understanding?"

"If we have to answer this question, then there is only one answer, that is, the landlord has a strong sense of management of the entire building." Qin Fei replied.

Chen Xiao nodded, agreeing with Qin Fei's guess.

After a brief thought, Chen Xiao continued, "Why do you think this building needs surveillance?"

"Just now I noticed that the exterior and interior of the wall are not quite equal." Chen Xiao fixed his eyes and said with a smile: "Captain Qin is also very observant. The exterior is indeed much older, while the interior is much newer. To put it simply, I suspect that the interior of this house should have been uniformly renovated."

"It's very possible. Could that renovation be the answer to why low-rent housing was equipped with surveillance cameras?"

Chen Xiao did not respond, but his expression already told Qin Fei what he was thinking.

The two continued to move up.

I walked through the fourth floor, the fifth floor, and finally reached the sixth floor.

The entire house has been blocked off after the murder, so there are currently no residents here.

The original residents had already been temporarily relocated to other places under the arrangement of the police.

Qin Fei took out the key and opened the door to the crime scene.

There was a sign hanging on the door showing the room number: 603.

The windows of this room face south.

After opening the room, Chen Xiao immediately recognized the bloodstains left by the deceased Yuan Keyu on the ground, as well as the various serial number marks left by the police at the scene.

However, Chen Xiao was not in a hurry to experience the process of the victim being killed, but walked towards the window as soon as possible.

Although the police files clearly recorded every step of Cao Xiuyuan's trace inspection, and Cao Xiuyuan was best at trace discovery.

But after Liu Dayou told Chen Xiao that information, he felt that it was necessary for him to be on guard against Cao Xiuyuan.

Standing in front of the window, Chen Xiao deployed his capturing power and began to observe the window bit by bit.

As recorded in the case file, the window was not pried open at all under the force of capture, which means that the window had not been opened for many years since the day it was sealed.

After checking the windows, Chen Xiao began to observe inside the house.

The police found a lot of footprints in the room.

But many of those footprints were left by tenants who came to see the house.

After Yuan Keyu rented this room, he did not do a thorough cleaning, but simply arranged some furniture.

So, the footprints throughout the house don’t actually have much reference value.

Chen Xiao observed it once and finally came to the desk.

The wooden chair in front of the desk was soaked in blood, and the blood flowing on it had long since dried up, turning black.

Chen Xiao paid close attention to the bloodstains and the marks on the ground from the victim's continuous kicking when he was strangled to death.

From the traces of kicking, it can actually be confirmed that this is the first crime scene.

Since it was the first crime scene, Chen Xiao’s previous suspicion that Yuan Keyu might have been killed there was completely wrong.

After completely ruling out that possibility, Chen Xiao began to think about how to crack the secret room again.

He squatted on the ground, looking at the bloodstains, but his mind was filled with the image of Yuan Keyu being skinned.

He is thinking:
[Yuan Keyu was strangled to death, and then someone cut open his skin bit by bit from the top of his head. ”

[From the autopsy of the deceased, it can be seen that the murderer was very rough and not very skilled when tearing off the skin. ]

[And he should have taken precautions, otherwise the footprints on the floor would have allowed us to identify the murderer.]

[Since he had a sense of protection, and after killing someone, he skinned them, his actions must have a purpose.]

[But why did the murderer peel off the skin from the top of the victim's head bit by bit after killing him? ]

[Starting from the top of the head, can it be understood as tearing off the dead person's face first? ]
