In fact, before last night's inquiry, Fang Ze had been suspecting that Mr. Wang was the serial killer.
Therefore, last night, Fang Ze continued to question along that line of thought.
However, he felt that directly addressing the case, Mr. Wang would most likely not recall the details in his heart. Thus, inspired by a flash of Spiritual Light, he decided to start from the relationships between the victims and Mr. Wang.
According to the reports of previous life criminal psychology research, serial killers usually have certain psychological disorders and abnormalities. They seek the pleasure of killing and feel pleasure and a sense of accomplishment from their murderous acts.
This leads to a significant portion of serial killers occasionally returning to the crime scene to seek that "special feeling."
The same principle applies in the Late-Night Investigation Room.
If Fang Ze directly questioned the case, Mr. Wang might become guarded and say nothing.
But, if Fang Ze guided him to recall his subtle relationships with the victims, he might easily drift to recalling the perverse pleasure and sense of achievement he felt when killing those close to him.
And from these memories, Fang Ze could piece together the methods and processes of his killings, thereby seeking related evidence.
Initially, Fang Ze's plan went very smoothly.
True to form, Mr. Wang was led by Fang Ze to start recalling the proceedings at the time of the incidents.
However, alongside Mr. Wang's narrative, something unexpected happened to Fang Ze, the real killer turned out not to be Mr. Wang! Nor his father!
But rather... a bizarre One-Eyed Buddha.
Yes, it was the entity of the Buddha head tattoo on his shoulder.
According to Mr. Wang's recollection.
The One-Eyed Buddha came about eleven years ago.
Twelve years prior, his father, Commissioner Wang, was competing against several rivals for a Municipal Councilor position.
Commissioner Wang, being of a softer nature and lacking both supporters above and helpers below, was arguably the least hopeful of all.
Suddenly one day, Commissioner Wang obtained a black One-Eyed Buddha from somewhere.
He was evidently thrilled with the Buddha head, secretly venerating it at home as a treasured possession.
And remarkably, the Buddha head proved its power.
Soon after, a miracle occurred: his rivals encountered mishaps one after another within half a year.
Some were taken away by the Supervisory Department after serious issues were discovered, some encountered accidents on trips, and others found health problems and opted for early retirement.
In the end, after all the turmoil, Commissioner Wang, the least hopeful candidate, surprisingly ascended to the position of Municipal Councilor!
Once appointed, Commissioner Wang reversed his previous cautious and weak demeanor, actively cultivating and networking his own faction, rapidly carving out his own territory in Emerald City, unmatched in prominence.
With his family's sudden rise to wealth, Mr. Wang was very happy. But gradually, he began noticing that something was amiss.
After becoming a councilor, his father's temper became increasingly volatile and his disposition increasingly gloomy.
One night, he woke up to see his father, with rage, chopping something with a fire axe, flesh and blood splattering, limbs flying about.
It looked like a scene from hell, nearly scaring Mr. Wang to death!
And what terrified him more was that atop his father's neck was not his own head, but a black One-Eyed Buddha.
That night, Mr. Wang was truly frightened, leading him to flee home overnight, and he even didn't return for several days.
Only after secretly observing his father several times from afar a week later, and noting that his father's head looked normal and nothing seemed amiss, did he tentatively return home.
Once home, everything also seemed very normal, as if what he had seen that night was merely an illusion.
Mr. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, then consoled himself that he might have seen wrongly.
Resultingly, that very night, he dreamt of the One-Eyed Buddha.
The Buddha told him it was called Dahei Garo, a deity from the Spirit Realm. As long as Mr. Wang worshipped it, he could have endless power, wealth, influence, and beauty.
Mr. Wang was terrified and wanted to refuse, but Dahei Garo did not give him the option to refuse and forcefully branded its mark upon him: a black Buddha tattoo.
Since then, Mr. Wang realized he had become somewhat unusual, somewhat unable to control his temper, increasingly volatile and irritable.
He would frequently argue and fight with people.
If not for Commissioner Wang's influence, he might have been fed to stray dogs long ago.
However, there were not only downsides but also benefits.
That is... despite not being handsome, he became increasingly popular with women.
Especially married women, whose husbands seldom accompanied them, showed him extraordinary favor.
Moreover, his energy levels surged, easily working several hours a day, never missing work for a month. Handling 996 schedules was not a problem at all.
And while working with these women, Mr. Wang surprisingly found that each time after work, his usually irritable mood would become extremely calm!
This discovery, like finding a lifesaving medicine for his constant irritability, made him fall even more in love with his job!
