Genius Detective

Soon after, the police found out information about the deceased by contacting his family and the local police station. The man was a voyeur. He secretly took upskirt photos in crowded places and sometimes even followed single women into elevators. For these reasons, he had been detained by the local police station several times, but he was unrepentant.

Tao Yueyue said, "How gratifying for the public to see him get his just ends!"

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Chen Shi rebuked. "It seems that this murderer isn’t a mission executor, but he must be connected with the observer of humanity. He had misunderstood the motive of the observer of humanity. The person killed wasn’t a potential criminal but a truly morally corrupt person."

"Could it be an executor who wasn’t selected?" Lin Dongxue put forward her conjecture. "Or he was once an executor, but he was dismissed because the way he handled things deviated from the observer of humanity's 'policy'. He killed people to prove that his own ideas are correct."

Chen Shi nodded. "If we catch him, we will be able to obtain a lot of clues... Let's bring the corpse back first!"

The scene was handed over to Peng Sijue and his subordinates. Chen Shi walked outside and asked Lin Dongxue about the investigation of Hai Guoyang. Lin Dongxue said, "I made a phone call, but you know that one cannot easily meet this kind of president-rank person without an appointment. I heard that his company will be holding a new product launch event tomorrow. Should we join in the fun?"

"That’s also a way to go."

Back in the bureau, Chen Shi summoned everyone together to study the information about the murder-by-injection maniac. At present, it can only be inferred that he was left-handed. The three people he killed were all under 30 years old. Based on this, it was assumed that he also belonged to this age group, because his attention was focused on this age bracket.

He had freedom of movement and probably had no formal job or was unemployed. No suspicious vehicles were found at the scenes of the three murders, indicating that he had walked to the scenes on foot. He had killed people using syringes so he might have worked in the medical industry.

The conclusion of the psychological profile was that this person had a defensive and aggressive personality. He appeared gentle but had a stubborn personality. He might have failed many times career-wise and was living in wretched poverty.

Tao Yueyue said, "Is it possible that this person was an employee at Hai Guoyang’s company? According to the analysis of his psychological profile, he should be a former employee who was fired. Perhaps Hai Guoyang sympathized with him and made him a mission executor for a period of time. Later, he was discovered to be unsuitable. In order to prove himself, he started to kill people in private. However, in fact, he didn't even understand how the life functions were calculated."

"You have great divergent thinking. You’ve thought of so many things at once. When we contact Hai Guoyang tomorrow, we will grab a list of employees in passing to investigate."

"What does this 'in passing' mean?" Lin Dongxue asked.

"Stealing!" Chen Shi smiled, "I will bring kk along. He’s quite bright."

"You have to be careful. Don't give him any reason for blackmail."

"Don't worry, I know my limits."

At this time, a policeman ran in from outside and handed a thick envelope to Chen Shi, saying, "Captain, this was delivered by the postman!"

Chen Shi thought to himself that he hadn't bought anything recently. The envelope was indeed addressed to his name. When he opened it, he was shocked. All it contained were printed life functions with copies of his ID cards on the back. There were 13 copies in total.

Chen Shi ordered, "Stop the postman and investigate the address it was mailed from!"

He spread out these life functions on the table. "This must have been sent by that person!"

Everyone picked one up and looked at them but was confused. Chen Shi went to find Peng Sijue and asked him to have a look at what they all meant.

Peng Sijue was carrying out an autopsy. He was very upset about being interrupted at work. Dragged over by Chen Shi, he stared at the papers for a long time and said, "This person will commit murder within a week."

"How can you tell?!"

"M stands for murder. There’s a time variable on this which is less than 0.7. That is, within a week, his turning point will be triggered..." Peng Sijue picked up the other papers and looked at them one by one. "All of these people will have their turning points triggered within a week!"

Everyone whispered privately with one another in surprise. Lin Dongxue flipped the papers over for a look and said, "They all live in Long'an!"

"Are we going to stop them?" Tao Yueyue said.

Chen Shi stared at the pieces of paper, was silent for a while, and said slowly, "The observer of humanity wants to prove to us how accurate his predictions are. I refuse to believe in this weirdness. Fate cannot be deduced through numbers."

"I'm not refuting you, but the calculations of the life functions are very sophisticated. Shouldn't we take preventative measures?" Peng Sijue said.

Chen Shi shook his head. "All the police in the world have no reason to prevent crimes in advance. How do we set up preventative measures? ‘Hello, you are going to commit murder tomorrow, so we have to detain you’? This is impossible! I only have a few words for these papers – Leave them for observation!"

After speaking, Chen Shi went back to the office first.

Other police officers also left one by one, leaving only Lin Dongxue, Tao Yueyue, and Peng Sijue in the conference room. Tao Yueyue asked, "Uncle Peng, you believe these are true, right?"

"I’ve been studying them these past two days and can only say that they have a certain rationality, but I also know that I shouldn't say this in front of Old Chen. It sounds like it’s fueling the arrogance of criminals."

"These things predict that I will become a murderer, so it’s probably this matter that has made Uncle Chen angry. He doesn't believe that I will become bad..." Tao Yueyue lowered her head.

"So it was like that!"

Tao Yueyue picked up a piece of paper, "Sister Lin, this person's time variable is less than 0.1, which means that he will definitely kill someone today. Should we..."

"But we have other things to do." Lin Dongxue couldn't make up her mind.

"Why don’t you go and verify it? In fact, I'm also very curious how accurate this thing can be." Peng Sijue said.

"All right, where does he live?"

Lin Dongxue didn't report this to Chen Shi and drove Tao Yueyue over to find that person. This person was named Liu Qiang. He was a businessman, and he lived in the same district.

When they got to the housing district where Liu Qiang lived, Lin Dongxue said, "This is too unbelievable. To figure out that this person would kill someone today with a set of mathematical formulas? I don't believe it!"

"I also hope it’s fake." Tao Yueyue said.

The two got to Liu Qiang's house and knocked on the door. It took a long time for a man to open the door. Tao Yueyue smelled sex on him. Moreover, there were hickeys on his neck and his hair was also very messy.

"Are you Liu Qiang?" Lin Dongxue asked.

"I’m not. I am his friend and he’s on a business trip today. I came over..."

A woman within the house shouted, "Who is it? Salesmen?"

The man then remembered and asked, "By the way, who are you?"

Lin Dongxue showed her credentials, and the man instantly looked respectful, "Oh, officers! Has Liu Qiang been evading taxes outside? He really isn't there today, why don’t you call him? I'll tell you the phone number."

"No need, goodbye!"

When leaving the district, Tao Yueyue said, "So it was like that. His wife cheated on him. That’s his motive for murder!"

"But Liu Qiang is on a business trip today, how can he kill people? Also, it’s uncertain whether he knows about this. It can be seen that the prediction of the life function isn’t reliable at all."

"Or... let’s call and ask if he is on a business trip."

"Okay!"

Lin Dongxue dialed Liu Qiang's number and talked briefly with him. Liu Qiang claimed that he was out of town.

After hanging up, Lin Dongxue said, "Look, it can't happen. We're just worrying for nothing!"

When they walked outside the district, a promotion was going on in a nearby supermarket. Lin Dongxue suddenly stood still, and then ran back without a word.
