Tang Yanqing still held her arms, her eyes sharp: "Alright, let’s continue profiling our formidable opponent."
"4. The suspect has an extremely strict father. Or a strong family background. Such a father or family background causes him to adhere to order extremely. But obviously, his relationship with his father or family is not good. This is reflected in his respect for order, but also in his subconscious desire to break rules and challenge authority — we police officers are seen as maintainers of order, representatives of authority, and his hatred and killing of officers could stem from this."
Tang Yanqing took a deep breath here: "5. I want to specifically highlight to everyone: you may be facing a serial killer targeting police officers, or not just a ’killer’, but a ’hunter’. He takes delight in hunting officers, so everyone must remain vigilant and be extra cautious."
The case analysis meeting ended, and the officers left with a detailed profile of the suspect.
Gao Cheng, however, stayed in his place and did not leave.
Tang Yanqing glanced up at Jia Tianzi: "This kid can be taught."
Jia Tianzi burst into laughter: "Master, it’s just a pity you don’t have a white beard."
Tang Yanqing stroked his chin in the air: "Isn’t it right here? Only the foolish cannot see it."
Gao Cheng stepped forward, clearing his throat: "Mr. Tang, I have a question."
"Speak," Tang Yanqing put away his playful smile.
Gao Cheng asked, "Just now you and Mr. Jia mentioned the issue of the principal and accomplice. Now we already know that the killer in the S case is Jack, so does that mean Jack is the accomplice? Jack doesn’t completely fit the profile, but he does share some characteristics with it — for example, he studies Eastern Studies, and his shy demeanor resembles the introverted Asians... So is Jack’s murderous thoughts and methods imitating the principal offender?"
"No," Tang Yanqing quickly replied, "This is a special case. Or rather, the principal offender wants to use Jack’s appearance to confuse us. If it were the principal offender, he wouldn’t use such a clumsy method to kill S. Jack could never learn the principal offender’s calmness and well-thought-out plans."
Gao Cheng was taken aback: "So the case of Jack killing S, although it happened at Kangchuan University, is unrelated to the murders of Zhou Guanghan and Sean?"
"That’s right," Tang Yanqing nodded, "If there’s any connection, the connection is only in S himself, not with Jack. S also used drugs, and like Zhou Guanghan, used Spirit Mushroom — so S’s sexual fantasy target parallels with Zhou Guanghan’s, both favoring the shy and introverted Eastern person. Although they are opposite genders."
"Understood," Gao Cheng nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Tang."
Kangchuan University is nestled in a quiet mountain, and all the roads outside lead to the university. If the faculty and students of Kangchuan University don’t go out, the roads outside are almost devoid of people, quiet as a paradise. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NovelHub(.)net
It was still morning at this time, and although it wasn’t nighttime, because the faculty and students were all in class, there was practically no one in sight.
Shi Nian was slightly nervous, gripping the strap of her handbag tightly.
This detail did not escape Mark’s eyes, his dark blue eyes gazed deeply: "Nian, are you afraid of me?"
How did she forget that Mark was also a good student in the behavioral analysis class?
Shi Nian tried to reduce the amplitude of her expressions, smiling calmly: "I’m not afraid of you, it’s just that I’m slightly nervous about the current situation. Mark, you called me out, dressed so formally, what do you want to say to me?"
If he wanted to harm her, why would he deliberately dress so formally?
If he had indeed deliberately dressed so formally to harm her — then he would be an "organized offender," planning and executing crimes carefully, which would make him an extremely dangerous criminal.
Mark, however, seemed somewhat nervous as well, which surprised Shi Nian a little.
— If someone is an organized offender, they often remain more calm and exhilarated when committing a crime.
Mark inserted his hands into his trousers pockets, glancing at the campus. Without the barrier of walls, Kangchuan University lay exposed: lawns, lakes, and white buildings, all in plain view.
"Nian, I want to ask you: why did you come to Kangchuan University?"
"Hmm?" Shi Nian was slightly surprised, then quickly adjusted her mood, saying slowly: "Because Kangchuan University is a world-renowned institution. Especially the Eastern Studies Department, even among universities in Europe and America, it ranks top."
