"Artist?"

Li Xiang was stunned, and an old friend who played cotton appeared subconsciously in his mind.

He shook his head and looked at Xu Hao, frowning and asking.

"Didn't you just guess that the murderer was an electrician?"

Xu Hao asked, "Can't electricians be artists?"

Li Xiang was speechless. He wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he was speechless.

Do electricians conflict with artists?

"Before his death, Van Gogh was also a painter who was as miserable as a beggar, but this status did not prevent his paintings from being passed down for centuries and displayed in the palace."

Xu Hao said slowly, Li Xiang was speechless.

"Artist?" Su Yue came to her side at this time. She frowned, then looked at Xu Hao and frowned.

"Where did you see it?"

Xu Hao did not answer directly, but asked several people.

"What's in the museum?"

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he asked this question, but he still thought for a moment and replied:

"Antiques and unearthed cultural relics!"

Xu Hao nodded, "More than that."

"Those works of art?" Su Yue suddenly spoke, pointing to a modern painting next to her.

"Yes, it is a work of art!"

Xu Hao nodded again and said:

"Remember what I said before? The murderer has a purpose!"

"This 'purpose' prompted him to complete the murder, then cut off the deceased's head and make it into a specimen, which was finally hung in the museum."

"Then the question is, what is the purpose!?"

"Why would the murderer risk being discovered by hanging the head specimen in the museum?"

Why? The murderer’s purpose!?

You must know that as long as such a heinous case is detected, the murderer will be sentenced to life imprisonment!

But with this level of criminal law, not only did the murderer not hide his body, he even openly hung it in a place like a museum!!!

Why? Not afraid of losing your head?

Li Xiang was stunned. Two questions entered his brain and started spinning in his mind.

When the police received the scene, they thought of the word "purpose", but they were unable to find the investigation point and did not explore further.

But now...

"You mean..."

An idea flashed in Su Yue's mind, and she blurted out something that shocked Li Xiang.

"The murderer is showing his art, so he is an artist!!?"

Artwork?

Human head specimen!?

Li Xiang looked in horror at the empty eye sockets of the dead head hanging on the wall.

"This is a work of art!?"

"He can be!" Xu Hao walked towards the museum and walked to the head of the deceased.

"Specimens are works of art in the eyes of specimen enthusiasts. The materials used are usually the carcasses of animals, ranging from butterflies to lions and elephant heads. Even some plants can be made into specimens."

Xu Hao raised his head and looked at the details of the human head specimen.

"But the murderer's aesthetic is a little unique. He replaced the lion's head with a human head. Although it looks scary, Captain Li, can you deny that this is a beautiful specimen?"

"After the entire face was cut, there were no scratches on the muscles. The fat layers were treated very cleanly. The muscles were well preserved, even the back of the head..."

The answer is no.

A specimen is a specimen, regardless of whether it is a human head.

Li Xiang hesitated to speak. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find anything to say to refute.

He looked at Xu Hao's eyes looking at the head, and silently took a few steps back.

After looking at it for a long time, Xu Hao looked away.

If you put aside the human head, this specimen is perfect.

"Then, based on the current speculation, let's discuss the two questions just raised."

Xu Hao brought everyone's thoughts back.

The police officers at the scene had already gone out to have lunch, and only a few police officers were still following Li Xiang.

"What is the purpose of the murderer putting his favorite 'artwork' on display? What is the purpose?"

"Why did he peel off the dead man's face!?"

This time, Li Xiang didn't think any more and blurted out:

"To get recognition for your artwork!?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiang himself was stunned.

Let your head specimen be recognized by the public...

It’s a bit scary to say it. Just imagine, in the middle of the night, someone is holding a head and chasing you to discuss the beauty of the head...

"That's right, it's a sense of identity."

Xu Hao affirmed, and the two questions had the same answer, "With all due respect, I have two bold guesses here."

"First, the murderer was afraid that the identity of the deceased would be exposed, which would in turn expose his own identity."

"Two...the murderer wants to monopolize this 'sense of identity'!"

"As for peeling off the face of the murderer who hates it, I personally think there is no reason to establish it. The murderer's method is to peel off the skin, not to tear it apart destructively!"

No one present is a fool. They have all thought about the first guess, and now they are thinking about the second one.

The connection between peeling and identity....

"You mean..."

Li Xiang frowned in thought, then stretched out his hand to point to a calligraphy and painting beside him.

Few people can appreciate the calligraphy and painting. The only thing that can be understood is the signature of the owner of the calligraphy and painting.

"Yes, the face of the deceased is the signature of the calligraphy and painting!"

Xu Hao spoke out his guesses in succession.

"Just imagine, if the victim's face is still there, then a large part of the attention on the Internet will definitely be devoted to discussing the deceased himself!"

"If the shame disappears, everyone will only talk about the murderer himself!"

Xu Hao looked at the entire museum again, scanning the objects on the walls, in the cabinets, and in the exhibition glass.

"It's easy to guess that the murderer chose a museum as the crime scene."

"Everyone here, including tourists and security guards, will maintain a sense of appreciation and awe for everything here. When they see something, they will think about it immediately and appreciate it instead of panicking."

"The worst thing is to take a detour. Even if you see the victim's head, you will only think that it is the artistic expression of some madman, not the scene of the crime."

"Before I called the police, the fact that hundreds of tourists and security guards did not call the police is the best evidence."

Xu Hao continued to observe the human head specimens, but unfortunately did not find any clues.

"From this, we get two characteristics about the murderer!"

"First, the murderer thinks he is an artist; second, the murderer is eager to gain recognition, and he even does not hesitate to kill people, and even distorts his spirit!"

"And in order to gain a sense of recognition, he will not hesitate to peel off the victim's face."

This is the benefit of character deduction thinking, extracting key characters and creating a complete character!

With the blessing of this golden finger, Xu Hao's thinking logic is several times clearer than usual!

"Then the question comes again, who is the murderer, in what environment, what things happened to him, did his character and inner world become like this!?"

Problem, problem, problem!

A series of questions caused Li Xiang's brain cells to die crazily, but he didn't care at this time. Instead, he was extremely excited.

The problem is the fig leaf for the murderer. The more problems are solved, the more clearly the murderer will be exposed to the police's sight!

"The opposite of what an artist should be in!"
