Chapter 23: Men's Confidence

A normal woman would be frightened after hearing these words, or at least feel ashamed and embarrassed.

Ping Shaoyin tilted his head slightly, and just as he was about to glance at the expression of the woman behind him, he heard a sarcastic female voice, "Another beast who tries to find his confidence as a man in an innocent woman."

Ping Shaoyin: “…”

There's something wrong with this reaction.

Before Ping Shaoyin could come to his senses, the voice sounded again, "Were the victims' bodies dumped a few days after they disappeared?"

Ping Shaoyin paused and said, "Usually four to five days."

"The places where the bodies were dumped are all deserted places?"

Ping Shaoyin paused, turned his head and looked deep, "How did you know?"

Although most murderers choose to dispose of bodies in deserted places, there are some exceptions who like to hide bodies in downtown areas or places that may cause a sensation.

The most important thing is that although the woman's question was a question, her tone was full of confidence.

Su Liuyue said calmly: "Just a guess."

In criminal psychology, rape of women is usually divided into five categories, namely, opportunity-based rape of women, power-affirmation-based rape of women, power-confidence-based rape of women, anger-revenge-based rape of women, and sadistic-based rape of women.

Those who have this habit of taking their victims to secluded places to violate them and like to use force are either power-confident rapists or sadistic rapists. The latter will cause more terrible damage to the victim's body. The more painful the victim is, the more excited they will be, so the victim's body is often horrible.

If the perpetrator was a sadistic rapist, the man's tone wouldn't have been so calm when he talked about the injuries on the victim's body. So Su Liuyue tended to believe that the murderer in this case was a power-confident rapist.

The biggest characteristic of this type of criminal is that he is very confident in his masculinity, but the reality is often the opposite of what he thinks. He is actually a loser who feels depressed, ignored and unable to achieve anything. This prompts them to seek their so-called authority from weak women.

To put it bluntly, he is just a self-righteous, incompetent and cowardly waste.

Ping Shaoyin looked at her thoughtfully, and suddenly pointed to a passage leading underground not far away, saying, "The dungeon is in front.

There is another very important piece of information about this case. Fifteen years ago, a similar case happened in the imperial city. At that time, the number of victims was twice as many as today. A total of six women were killed. However, later, the murderer suddenly stopped killing people, as if he had disappeared all of a sudden. The various government offices could not find the murderer, and finally let the case go. "

Su Liuyue was stunned and said in disbelief: "Six people died, and it's just so easy to let it go?!"

Ping Shaoyin lowered his eyelids slightly to hide the sarcasm that flashed across his eyes, and sneered: "In the late period of Great Yan, the court was corrupt and incompetent. Let alone the death of six people, even if more people died, they would not care."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the dungeon first, "Let's go, your cousin is in there."

Su Liuyue pursed her lips slightly and quickly followed.

The passages in the dungeon were dark and narrow, and filled with an indescribable smell of rotting, as if countless foods were mixed together.

However, for Su Liuyue, who has handled countless cases and seen countless heavy-tasting scenes, these flavors are simply not worth mentioning.

As she followed behind Ping Shaoyin, she was thinking about the case information he had just told her. Suddenly, a murderer in a cell on their left suddenly rushed in front of them, stretched out a hand from the gap in the cage, and shouted in a shrill voice: "Sir, I am really innocent, sir!"

Seeing that his hand was about to touch Ping Shaoyin, Ping Shaoyin's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He stretched out two slender fingers and clamped the man's bony wrist. His face was expressionless, and his words were icy cold, "If you dare to touch me, you will be dead soon."

Under the gaze of those black eyes that seemed to look down upon everyone, the murderer was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating.

Before he could come to his senses, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his wrist. His face was twisted into a knot and he screamed miserably, "Ouch! It hurts! Sir... I was wrong! I was wrong! Please let me go..."

The criminals in the surrounding cells turned pale with fear. Ping Shaoyin looked at him coldly before withdrawing his hand. He lowered his head and looked at the two fingers with a frown, his face full of unconcealable disgust.

Su Liuyue: “…”

This guy, is he a germaphobe?
You only start to complain after the fight has already happened. Is this fake mysophobia?
The next moment, she saw the man in front of her pull out a clean, white handkerchief from his waist and wipe his two fingers slowly and meticulously. He turned his head and his expression returned to the calmness at the beginning. "Your cousin is in the innermost cell. I have just read your cousin's confession. You can go over there by yourself."

Su Liuyue found it inexplicably funny.

Why did he bring her here in person? Wouldn't it be better if he had asked someone else to bring her here earlier?

She was too lazy to expose him, so she bowed and said, "Yes, thank you, Shao Yin Ping, for bringing me here."

Then he walked straight ahead, passing him.

Ping Shaoyin: “…”

Why is it that I feel like I'm being laughed at for no reason?

He looked at the woman's figure slowly walking away, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

Su Liuyue walked all the way to the innermost part, and finally saw Xue Wenbo sitting in the dungeon with a dejected look on his face. Xue Wenbo was shocked to see her, and quickly stood up and ran over, his eyes wide open, "Liuyue, you... why are you here? Are you alone?!"

Su Liuyue quickly took a look at him and saw that although his clothes were a little messy, there was no sign of torture. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Cousin, I don't have much time, let's make it short. Don't worry, I will find a way to prove your innocence.

I want to ask, what happened when you sent Miss Fang back that day?"

Xue Wenbai looked at the woman in front of him in astonishment. Although he wanted to ask her how to prove his innocence, he knew the importance of things and said, "That day, I saw the girl when I was about to finish my shift. Because I happened to be going home and her home in Tongfu Lane was near ours, I sent her home on the way.

In order to avoid suspicion, I always took the main road along the way. The vendors on the road should be able to testify to this!

However, after we left the street and turned into the alley, there were fewer people on the road, and in some places there was no one at all. I was worried about damaging the girl's reputation, but the girl said that she knew the way here, so I left.

Who knew that something like this would happen later! If I had known... if I had known, I would have insisted on sending her home..."

Su Liuyue pondered for a moment and asked again: "Did you feel like you were being followed, or did you see anyone suspicious along the way?"

Xue Wenbai quickly shook his head, "No, if there was, I wouldn't let that girl go back alone."

"Where did you finally send the girl that day?"

Xue Wenbai said, "On a street outside Tongfu Lane, the girl told me with certainty that if I walked along that street and turned at the second intersection, I would reach Tongfu Lane, and her home was inside."

When Su Liuyue finished asking the questions and walked out of the dungeon, she saw Ping Shaoyin standing next to the dungeon, with one hand behind his back, waiting for her calmly.

Beside him, the black-clad servant named Feng Yang had returned to his side at some point.

Seeing her come out, Ping Shaoyin opened his thin lips slightly and was about to say something, but Su Liuyue suddenly looked at his two fingers and said, "Ping Shaoyin, are your hands clean?"

Ping Shaoyin was silent for a moment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

This woman was really sharp and she would not miss any flaw he revealed.

Su Liuyue seemed to just ask this casually, and before the man in front of her could answer, she said, "Mr. Ping, I already have some information about the case. Just now you said that a similar case happened fifteen years ago. Who was the person who tried the case fifteen years ago? Is he still in the Imperial City? Have you found the files related to this case?"
