Su Liuyue spread her hands and said, "Didn't I say that? With the current situation, I can't conduct a comprehensive analysis.

But the murderer needs to spend a lot of time looking for the target or observing the target. I tend to believe that he is not a candidate, but he specifically targets candidates. His life or schedule must overlap with this group.

He wanted to observe his targets and understand their recent movements. He couldn't stay in the carriage all the time. He would definitely find a way to get to those targets, observe them closely, and listen to their conversations with others.

Therefore, the murderer's class could not be too different from those of the victims. For example, if a man who did rough labor kept getting close to these students, not only the students themselves, but also the people around them would feel something was wrong. Therefore, at least on the surface, he looked similar to them - with a good background and knowledge, but he would deliberately keep a low profile when among the crowd. There were also relatively many students in the capital during this period, so he could easily blend in and not attract any attention at all.

Judging from the way he works carefully and rigorously, as well as his ability to correct early mistakes in a timely manner, he has a high IQ, is calm and steady, and can't be too young, probably between 30 and 40 years old."

After a pause, seeing that the others were listening to her analysis seriously, and obviously they were very familiar with her investigation methods, Su Liuyue smiled and continued: "The murderer has a carriage, not a cheaper ox cart, donkey cart or mule cart. Whether he rented the carriage or bought it, it shows that his family is well-off.

He has a lot of time to wander around, which shows that his family is not only well off, but may even be relatively wealthy, so he does not need to work hard outside to support the family. His family members either cannot control him, or something has happened to them and they have no time to take care of him.

A family like this wouldn't use such an ordinary carriage. Miss Yueru just said that the murderer's carriage looked relatively new. It's very likely that he had recently bought or rented the carriage for the purpose of committing the crime."

Feng Dali listened and frowned, "The family is well off and doesn't need him to work hard to support the family. What else is he dissatisfied with? Is he just sitting around and setting fires and killing people?"

Another yamen runner couldn't help but ask, "Besides, if he wasn't a candidate, how did he get involved with the candidates? What grudge did he have that made him want to burn them alive?"

Su Liuyue stared at the bailiff and said, "You hit a crucial point."

The yamen runner was slightly stunned, feeling puzzled and proud. Was he being praised by Young Master Su?
Although, he didn't know what the key point of what he said was.

Su Liuyue paused and said, "There is one key question that I have not figured out about this case so far - what is the motive of the murderer for setting fire and killing people. People don't commit crimes for no reason. They must have some purpose in doing such illegal things.

The murderer's purpose of arson was very clear every time - to burn the candidates in the room to death. All his actions were centered around this purpose, which shows that he had some very strong emotions towards the group of candidates with good grades, which could be hatred, jealousy, or some kind of prejudice against this group due to his own experience...

There are too many possibilities, and I cannot analyze them given the current circumstances of the case.

And it is precisely the murderer's motive that is the core of understanding and analyzing all his actions."

Routers understood this point.

Anyone who has followed one or two cases knows that the murderer's motive is the most crucial. If you are lucky, you can directly identify the suspect based on the murderer's motive.

Whoever benefits most from the death of the deceased has the strongest motive for committing the crime.

That's why they just framed their thoughts. After all, if these candidates with good grades died, who would benefit the most? Of course, it would be other candidates!
Therefore, Su Liuyue's words that the murderer was most likely not the candidate overturned all their previous ideas.

Route couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Then Mr. Su, where should we start our investigation from?"

Su Liuyue pursed her lips. At present, she couldn't give a better suggestion. After thinking for a while, she stretched out two fingers and said, "At present, we can only use the 'stupid' method. There are two directions to check.

First, the murderer's carriage is relatively new. You can go to the car rental companies in the city or the carpentry shops that sell this type of carriage and ask if anyone has rented or bought this type of carriage recently. When investigating, you can describe my analysis of the murderer to the store owners to see if they have any impression of such customers.

But this target was too conspicuous. Since the murderer dared to let Yueru see his carriage so brazenly, and did so three times in a row, it showed that he was confident that we could not find him through the carriage.

Second, since the murderer only targets candidates with good grades, you can go to the Ministry of Rites and retrieve the files of candidates who will take the examination this year. First find out the top candidates in each state. These candidates may be the murderer's next target."

This is indeed a stupid method. Not only is the workload for these two investigation directions enormous, but there is no guarantee of finding results.

However, there is really no better way at the moment. These two investigation methods are both conventional methods of investigating cases. Even if Su Liuyue didn't say it, they would still do it.

Zhou Yunke said at this time: "I will send someone to the Ministry of Rites to say hello, and you can just go and get the files."

Lu Lu and his men responded immediately. Lu Lu was about to leave to do his work when Su Liuyue suddenly stopped him and said, "There is something that I am concerned about. Can you help me keep an eye on it while investigating?"

Lu Lu was slightly stunned and said, "If Su Xiaolangjun needs anything for us, just ask directly."

"I'm not sure if this incident is related to this case. It's just my personal intuition."

Su Liuyue said: "The Bai Langjun who came with my third cousin just now said that he felt someone following him yesterday. Although according to the circumstances of the victims in the previous three cases, he does not quite meet the criteria of the murderer's target, but... there are exceptions to everything, and I dare not say that my analysis is completely correct..."

After all, solving cases through criminal psychology analysis is, to put it bluntly, a matter of probability.

Although Su Liuyue is an expert in this field, she never underestimates it, nor overestimates it.

Roulette understood immediately and nodded, "Don't worry, Su Xiaolangjun, I'll have someone keep an eye on that Bai Langjun in a moment!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Su Liuyue watched him leave. Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice came from beside her, "You care so much about Bai Langjun because... you are worried about your cousin?"

Su Liuyue was slightly stunned, and looked at Zhou Yunke beside her with some caution, "Of course I am worried, but Bai Langjun is also a candidate, I can't completely rule out that he will definitely not be the murderer's next target."

Is this guy going to accuse her of misusing public resources for personal gain?

Zhou Yunke smiled faintly and said, "You and your cousin have a good relationship."

Why did he suddenly say this?
It can't be that he suddenly cares about the relationship between her and her family?
Su Liuyue thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness must have cousins ​​as well."

Although she had only met two of his brothers, the King of Wei made it impossible for her to say with a clear conscience that they had a good relationship.

Among those cousins, there must be one or two who have a good relationship, right?
"No."

Zhou Yunke said in a faint voice, "People like me don't have such good luck."

After saying that, he started walking out.

Su Liuyue stood there in a daze.

People like me...

This kind of sentence structure is called self-deprecation in psychology. There are two types of self-deprecation. One is to deliberately make fun of oneself, but the person speaking has a positive and optimistic attitude. They may do this to adjust the atmosphere or just to be modest.

But Zhou Yunke's tone and expression just now didn't sound like a joke at all.

If he is not joking, then it is another kind of thing - he feels this way sincerely. Such people usually have some inferiority complex in their hearts and are prone to deny themselves in some things.

Could someone like Zhou Yunke actually have low self-esteem?
Su Liuyue felt as if she had accidentally stepped into the forbidden zone in her superior's heart. She quickly shook her head to get rid of this strange feeling and quickly followed Zhou Yunke out of the yard. (End of this chapter)
