The Almighty's call interrupted Bo Jiu's thoughts.
But this time, it wasn't news from the special forces.
Instead, it was from the crime squad.
The words' Little Huang 'flashed on the screen.
Bo Jiu glanced at the caller ID, her hand pausing as she wondered who it was.
For the Almighty to give her such an adorable nickname.
Unexpectedly, the Almighty picked up the call calmly. "What's up?"
The person on the other end of the line replied calmly, "Something big."
Even though it was just two words, Bo Jiu could tell who it was.
It was obviously Director Huang from the crime squad.
Director Huang was equivalent to 'Little Huang'?
The Almighty's nickname was unparalleled.
But there was one thing, the Almighty didn't seem to mind speaking in front of her.
Bo Jiu could vaguely hear the other end of the line.
"About that woman, we already have an answer. Just like what you said, it's not that simple. There's a dating app that can locate nearby cars. Some drivers will post messages on it. If the girls are willing, they can provide their phone number to the driver, and the driver nearby will call the girl and send her home. But this kind of driver's car is usually registered with the software company, so there shouldn't be any problems. But the girl also confessed that it was because of that time that she contracted AIDS, and … "
Once again, Bo Jiu was certain that Almighty Qin had no intention of avoiding her.
Because when Director Huang paused, he asked, "And what?"
"And we've checked, the car she left her phone number in doesn't seem to be the same car that came to pick her up. Although the driver also drove a BMW, it was clearly recorded on his dashcam that day that he picked up another girl. After sending her home, he also went home, so we ruled out the possibility of that person committing the crime. After the people below told the woman about this, she was in a bad mood. She said she didn't expect that note to be real."
Qin Mo's gaze sharpened. "What note?"
"There was a note left at the hotel. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it. She thought it was a joke, but now that she thought about it, it was all premeditated. Because there was a line written on the note, 'Guess who's going to be the next one to get sick?"
Director Huang's voice was clearly softer as he spoke.
Because if everything was premeditated, then the nature of this matter would be different.
"Who do you think will be next?"
It was obvious that this was a serial case.
And if it is such a case.
The perpetrator would then become a very unstable propagator.
The AIDS in his body was his best "killing weapon."
Bo Jiu had wanted to display her professionalism and respect the Almighty's privacy.
However, the Almighty had no intention of letting her go.
He even directly asked about the details of the case. "Where did they have sex? Do you have the relevant hotel records? "
"It's useless. The woman said she used her ID card to book the room because the man said he forgot to take the red wine in the car and wanted to get it first. He asked her to send the room number to his phone after she booked the room …" "That's not going to help.
Bo Jiu couldn't help whistling.
This whistle was coincidentally heard by the "Minion". His eyes widened, and his round and bulging body exclaimed, "What's going on?"
Qin Mo swept the youngster a glance, replying calmly, "My cat."
Director Huang felt that the answer was an insult to his intelligence!
Whose cat would whistle?!
Just as he was about to question him …
A cat's meow came from the other side.
Bo Jiu pulled Princess over, caressing him.
Princess wasn't just meowing, it wasn't just the tip of his hair!
Did she think he didn't have a temper by caressing him?
Qin Mo still looked sick, but his voice made them clench their teeth. "You should have heard it, he isn't peaceful today."
Not only did this sentence tarnish his pet's reputation, it also caused Director Huang to swallow all the questions in his mind.
She said listlessly, "Then ask your cat why it whistles."
Qin Mo replied slowly, "We'll discuss that later. The hotel corridor didn't capture the man's face?"
"No, it's not because he was in disguise, but because there were too many people at the hotel that night. He followed a lot of people into the elevator, and after he got out of the elevator, he kept his head down, so the cameras didn't catch anything."
Director Huang clenched his teeth. It was obvious how much of a headache this case was for him.
Qin Mo replied faintly, "Got it." He prepared to hang up.
Director Huang sighed. "Can't you give me some psychological profiling so that I can arrest him?"
"Yes, I'll send it to you later." With that, he hung up and looked at the youngster in front of him. "Tell me, why did you whistle just now?"
Bo Jiu smiled faintly. "The two of them went to the hotel and the girl paid the bill. The man is either handsome or rich."
"Oh?" Qin Mo arched a brow. "What do you mean?"
Bo Jiu placed her laptop down. "For example, handsome men like me and Brother Mo, there are many who want to give birth to our babies. If they can sleep with us, they wouldn't care about the money."
It was the same logic as if the Almighty was willing to be kidnapped by her but she had to leave a sum of money behind.
Compared to the money, the Almighty was more important.
"Tell me about the second scenario." The youngster leaned against the balcony and sat on it. That posture was very handsome. She lifted the corner of her lips, and the mole under her eyes was very obvious at that moment. "The girl thinks that the guy is too rich, so she wants to cast a long line to catch a big fish. That's why she doesn't care about the small things, because she thinks that the guy will give her more than that. Brother Mo, you're a psychology major, so you should be able to guess what I'm saying. Besides, your phone's volume isn't low, and it's impossible for a boyfriend and girlfriend to make an appointment through a dating app. So, the first thing to eliminate is the possibility of an intimate relationship between the two of them. That leaves only handsomeness and money to make the girl pay for a room, but I guess the latter is more likely."
Qin Mo glanced up, gesturing for the youngster to continue.
Bo Jiu tilted her head, exuding the devilish aura of a playboy. "If I was the one getting a room with a girl, I definitely wouldn't think of bringing red wine. This is the style of a rich person, driving a luxurious car with a bottle of good wine. It would be best if the clothes on her body were expensive as well. That way, more people would be hooked since some girls care about such things. I'm guessing that the victim must have a strong sense of pride. Her monthly salary isn't enough but she would spend two to three thousand on cosmetics and ten to twenty thousand on luxurious items. She wants to be a phoenix without sowing. These are the most basic thoughts of a person. I can't judge if it's right or wrong but it's obvious that the culprit is targeting this mentality of the girl. Because these girls aren't guarded against the rich, they would sleep with him on the first day."
Bo Jiu had never imagined that one day, she would be sitting together with the Almighty to discuss a case. Furthermore, they would be acting as friends.
It was a unique experience and feeling.
It was easy to feel a sense of excitement that she had never felt before.
But very quickly, the excitement was extinguished by the Almighty's words.
"What if you were the one getting a room with a girl?" Qin Mo tilted his head, his voice cold. "I didn't know you had such thoughts."
Bo Jiu paused, feeling a little guilty. "It was just an analogy."
"It seems like you aren't good at physics, you should start learning Chinese again." Qin Mo's gaze didn't warm up. "Who taught you to make such an analogy?"
Bo Jiu felt that it was better not to talk about academics.
Bo Jiu felt that it was better not to talk about academic matters. She leaned closer to him and smiled. "Brother Mo, isn't it about time for your psychological profiling?"
Since she had taken care of him for the past two days, Qin Mo's coldness dissipated. "The culprit is between 25 and 35 years old. He isn't very handsome but he isn't ugly either. He has a certain level of male charm and the smell on his body is very pleasant. He is also very particular about his clothes, clean and rich. He has a certain amount of free time and is extremely hostile towards vain women. He is unmarried."
Bo Jiu had only guessed that the culprit was clean and rich. How could the Almighty have guessed so much?
"The smell on his body is pleasant?" How could he have guessed that? It was understandable that he wasn't married since married men would create a sense of distance. From Bo Jiu's perspective, the culprit was also unmarried. Moreover, he was between 25 and 35 years old and had a certain level of male charm. Bo Jiu had also guessed that he wouldn't be ugly. For instance, if he had a big belly like Director Huang, no matter how rich he was, girls wouldn't be willing to ride in his car or fork out money for him. Hence, the culprit definitely wouldn't look bad. In fact, his facial features were perfect and would be easy to spot. But the smell?
Qin Mo lowered his lids to look at the youngster's furrowed brows. The silver hair on the top of his head was fluffy. Qin Mo lifted the corner of his mouth. "Seems like the wall-jumping scholar isn't good enough. You didn't learn some knowledge in biology class. When a man and a woman are first attracted to each other, other than appearance, the scent they emit. Otherwise, why would some people take a shower before doing it? Mmh? "
Bo Jiu didn't know how to reply. She pulled Princess over and started to caress him.
Who would learn such things in biology class?
Besides, other than the Almighty, no one would use such a method to analyze a case.
"This is going to be a troublesome serial case. It's obvious that the culprit's IQ isn't low. He's thought through everything thoroughly. I'm guessing that the original phone number has become a useless number that no one picks up. "
Bo Jiu's efforts weren't in vain.
Qin Mo sat on the pure white bed, his brows arched. "Director Huang didn't mention anything about the phone not being able to reach him."
"I guessed." Bo Jiu didn't avoid Qin Mo's probing. "It's simple. If I were the culprit, I would prepare some tools. Every time I make an appointment with someone, the SIM card for the day would be rendered useless. After changing to the next target, I would use a new number to contact them. Even though the official SIM cards are all registered with real names, there are still ways to get one that doesn't require one's real name. The car plate would probably be tampered with as well, something that can be learned with a little money. Besides, the culprit would only appear on weekends when traffic is heavy. It wouldn't be hard to pass it off as real."
Qin Mo fiddled with the lighter, his voice calm. "Not a bad theory and concept for the culprit."
Such a compliment was enough to make one break out in cold sweat.
If it had been anyone else, they would have felt guilty.
Bo Jiu knew she couldn't back down at this moment. "With the experience from the previous livestream, it is indeed easy to guess."
There was a smacking sound.
Qin Mo kept the lighter, smiling at the youngster. "You are hinting that the culprit isn't a newbie."
"It's never tiring talking to Brother Mo." Bo Jiu threw herself onto the bed, placing her arms behind her head. She knew the Almighty wasn't suspecting her anymore and could focus on the case. "But …"
"But I can't eliminate the possibility that someone is teaching him to do it."
Before she could finish, Qin Mo spoke.
He might be sick but he was still behaving like a rich young master, exuding an aura of abstinence.
Bo Jiu chuckled lightly. That was indeed what she wanted to say. "It's a dating app, the messages are public but the girls' phone numbers aren't. Of course, it's easy for us hackers to find out but it isn't easy for an ordinary person."
This time, Qin Mo didn't reply.
Instead, he reached for his phone and dialed.
Once again, Bo Jiu saw the words' Little Huang '. She wanted to know what Director Huang's thoughts would be after he found out about his nickname.
Director Huang couldn't be bothered about that now. When he saw that it was Qin Mo, he was filled with excitement. "Is the answer out?"
"Serial murder case." Qin Mo's voice was calm and emotionless. "The mastermind is Z."
It wasn't just Director Huang.
Even Bo Jiu stilled.
Z was the mastermind?
Bo Jiu arched a brow. That theory …
"Combine the Maiden's Sacrifice and this case into one." Qin Mo's gaze was heavy. "I will send the psychological profile of the culprit to your email. Find the culprit according to the criteria. I don't care how you do it, tell the public not to make casual appointments."
Director Huang replied, "That's easy to say, but aren't you overthinking this matter? The Maiden's Sacrifice was initiated through the forums, but this time, it's through an app. I don't think they're the same."
"Both cases are carried out through the internet and the victims are all female. All of the culprit's information will reveal their psychological activities and they are all related to sleeping. The only difference is the method of sleeping but the nature is the same. Most importantly, no culprit would leave a note to inform the public that he is the culprit so that the police can find him faster. This is Z's second challenge to the crime squad."
Qin Mo's every word seemed to hit the nail on the head.
Director Huang's jaw dropped and he scratched his head.
He scratched his head again. 'This is clearly a challenge to you. Our Key Case Investigation Unit has been implicated because of you!'
"Don't make a move after you lock onto the target. I will send someone to contact the culprit and find Z." Qin Mo hung up once he was done.
He didn't give Little Huang a chance to react.
Bo Jiu felt that it was time to recommend herself. "Brother Mo, what do you think about me contacting him? My hand speed isn't bad. "
Since it concerned her impersonator, she had to be more proactive.
Qin Mo kept his phone, replying lazily, "No."
"Alright."
In that case, she could only follow the people from the Key Case Investigation Unit.
She respected her pet's decision.
But it wouldn't clash with her methods.
Qin Mo tilted his head and glanced at the youngster lying beside him. His tone carried a hint of warning. "Behave yourself. If I catch you again, you should know the consequences."
"Brother Mo, where's the trust between humans?" Bo Jiu sighed deeply. "It has been a long time since I've messed with the internet. Do you know what it means to a hacker? It's the world of lousy hackers."
Even though he knew the youngster wouldn't be telling him the truth.
The corners of Qin Mo's lips lifted when he saw the depressed look on her face.
Bo Jiu lifted her lips, hopping off the bed to take a shower but she didn't forget to bring her phone.
She closed the bathroom door.
The first thing she did was to turn on the noise-canceling shower.
Amidst the sound of the shower, the youngster lowered her lids, her long fingers pressing on the screen. Her dark eyes were unprecedentedly bright, the letters turning into strings of words.
"Follow the crime squad member, hunting operation commencing, Z."
She raised her hand and sent the message.
Bo Jiu tugged off her uniform.
The next thing she heard was the sound of water splashing.
It was dark outside the window.
But for the esports players.
They could only feel it when they played at night.
Ding! The sound of an email rang.
Watanabe glanced at the person reading a comic on the floor behind him. "Vice-captain, your phone is ringing?"
"Mmh." Hoshino glanced down. When he saw the line of words, he moved his fingers, choosing to delete it. Even the traces were erased.
At this moment.
He just realized it.
Z was really back.
He wasn't sure when.
It started to rain again.
In a remote county hospital, the sound of documents flipping continued, suppressing the sound of the rain.
Fortunately, they were all soldiers with good physiques. They weren't afraid of the cold in the archive room.
If it had been an ordinary person, they would have been exhausted.
The special forces soldier was there too. Since it was an order from Young Master, there couldn't be any mistakes. With him around, he felt that this matter was reliable.
But it was undeniable that there were too many documents to check and they could only rely on manual labor. There weren't any shortcuts.
Just when he thought they would have to check for another night to find what they were looking for, a voice rang out.
