The coroner in the white coat took off his mask and said to the male officer:

"Liu Jun, this case is the same as the previous ones, it's definitely a serial crime. You all should investigate quickly! This is really horrifying, the murderer is simply a pervert."

The coroner seemed to be very familiar with the male officer.

Soon, his gaze fell on Xia Bing, and he quickly said:

"Oh! Captain Xia is also here. Sorry, I was too shocked just now and didn't notice you all."

"Is it exactly the same as the previous times?"

Xia Bing asked.

"Yes, the method is exactly the same. It's also a case of skinning alive, and the time of death wouldn't exceed two hours."

The coroner nodded heavily and said with great certainty.

"How do you know that the victim died two hours after being skinned alive?"

Yang Yan asked curiously.

"Who is this?"

The coroner looked at Yang Yan and asked with some suspicion.

"He is the expert Mr. Yang Yan that Captain Xia brought in, specifically to investigate this incident."

Liu Jun quickly explained.

"Oh! Mr. Yang, hello. It's like this, once the skin is peeled off, it's already dead, completely different from being alive. We determine this through bloodstains and other related features."

The coroner had no doubts about Yang Yan's identity and immediately explained.

"I see... Forget it, let's go in and take a look first!"

After speaking, Yang Yan went ahead without caring about the coroner's reaction.

The scene had already been cordoned off by the police, and when Yang Yan approached, several officers came forward to stop him, asking why he was there.

Yang Yan pointed to Xia Bing and Liu Jun behind him and said:

"They invited me."

Several officers glanced at Xia Bing and Liu Jun behind him, apparently waiting for them to confirm.

Liu Jun hurried over and said:

"Let Mr. Yang in, he is an expert here to help us."

Yang Yan stepped into the room, immediately overwhelmed by a strong smell of blood.

No wonder Xia Bing said she couldn't eat when I asked her to dinner earlier.

Anyone living in Prosperous Court must be wealthy.

At this moment, Xia Bing's chief was communicating with the property management company.

Because the residents here often have very special identities, it's quite difficult for the police to keep the news sealed.

Also because the people living here often have high social status, if the news were to spread, the public panic would be terrifying.

The property company also certainly doesn't want the situation to spread.

Simply put, if the matter becomes widely known, the property management would face serious consequences.

So both parties agreed to keep the impact of this incident to a minimum.

Once inside the room, Yang Yan quickly searched around for clues.

There was blood everywhere in the room, on the ground, on the walls, creating an especially eerie and horrifying atmosphere.

From the moment Yang Yan stepped into the room, he knew this wasn't something Xia Bing and the others could solve.

Because this wasn't done by humans.

Yang Yan reached out and touched the bloodstains on the wall that hadn't completely dried, then rubbed it with his fingers.

The other officers who were busy collecting evidence saw Yang Yan, not wearing any protective clothing, come in and touch things at random, and hurriedly wanted to stop him, but Liu Jun blocked them.

"An expert invited by Captain Xia, continue with your work, don't mind him."

Seeing Liu Jun saying this, although somewhat suspicious, they continued with their tasks.

"Where is the body?"

Yang Yan asked Liu Jun.

"In the bedroom."

Liu Jun responded immediately.

Yang Yan walked into the bedroom, where the smell of blood was even stronger than outside.

Four bodies lay on the ground.

As they mentioned, all four had been skinned.

Yang Yan crouched down for a closer look, two adults, two children.

No matter the size, it was one male and one female.

Yang Yan lifted the head of one corpse with his hand, from his eyes it was clear he was in extreme pain and fear when he died.

Yang Yan sighed lightly, feeling a bit angry himself.

This was clearly the work of the Hidden World, already a target of scorn there, let alone using this method against ordinary people.

Especially since this is on Huaxia's soil, something Yang Yan absolutely won't tolerate.

No matter who it is, he has to find them and let them face justice, give the deceased a fair resolution.

"Where is their skin?"

Yang Yan asked in a deep voice.

Everyone had a look of fear on their faces when they heard Yang Yan's words, as if recalling something terrifying.

"It's in here, you'd better mentally prepare yourself before you look."

Liu Jun said with a bitter smile.

After speaking, he reached out to open the wardrobe.

Yang Yan noticed his fingers were trembling slightly, evidently due to fear.

The moment the wardrobe opened, even Yang Yan, who had seen so much carnage, was a little shocked.

Inside the wardrobe, four human skins were neatly hanging like clothes.

The killing intent in Yang Yan's heart could no longer be contained.

This method could no longer be described as perverted.

The perpetrator is a demon, a monster!

With Yang Yan's outburst of killing intent, the already grim room became even more chilling.

Many couldn't endure it and quickly left.

"Close the door, then turn off the light."

Yang Yan said to Liu Jun.

"What is it?"

Liu Jun asked, puzzled.

"Those born in the year of the Dragon, Tiger, and Rooster, go out."

Yang Yan didn't directly answer Liu Jun, but continued to speak coldly.

Hearing Yang Yan's words, Liu Jun wanted to ask more, but Xia Bing gestured for him to comply.

Soon, those born in the years mentioned by Yang Yan all went out.

Liu Jun walked in and looked at Yang Yan, saying:

"Everyone has left, should we close the door and turn off the light now?"

"Take off your uniforms, don't bring handcuffs inside, and leave anything with the national emblem outside too."

Yang Yan added another instruction.

Liu Jun became even more perplexed.

He already had difficulty understanding why those born in three particular zodiac signs needed to leave.

After all, this is an investigation, not a burial.

What on earth is he up to?

The so-called expert, is he actually some kind of charlatan...

Though these cases are indeed baffling, linking them to superstitious practices made Liu Jun quite skeptical.

Xia Bing couldn't help glancing at Yang Yan, but seeing his extremely serious expression, she gritted her teeth and started taking off her uniform.

It was already the depths of winter, and though indoors, it was still quite cold.

If not for the environment, watching Xia Bing take off her uniform would have surely made some drool.

Seeing Xia Bing undressing, Liu Jun hurriedly followed suit.

As everyone passed out their handcuffs, national emblems, and other items, the room seemed to grow eerier.

Yang Yan glanced at them, then said:

"You also need to take off your matching pants."
