Because of the low temperature, the snow and ice on the roads of Dajing have not completely melted.
The police car wasn't traveling very fast on the road.
After learning that five more people were missing, Shen Ting decided to go to the location where they had disappeared to investigate.
Inside the police car, one officer from the task force was driving while the others were organizing documents.
Shen Ting sat in the back row, lost in thought.
Based on the five notes that followed, as well as the video on the internet, his previous discussion with Xu Xinyi was basically correct.
The suspect was indeed after Shen Ting.
The other party did not use assassination or other means that could directly threaten life.
But it is even more despicable and vicious.
They not only kidnapped Shen Ting's friends, but also other innocent people.
The key is to post videos online, spread the word, and get the whole world's attention.
If Shen Ting ultimately fails to find the place where the missing person was hidden.
Or, if the search takes more than 72 hours, all the missing persons will have died because of him, and Shen Ting will definitely be ruined.
Kiko: "Clearly, that's the suspect's goal."
They not only want the group owner's life, but also want to completely ruin the group owner's reputation.
Did the group admin mess with someone they shouldn't have?
ヾ(o゜_,゜o)ノ”
Tang Ren: "Group owner, don't be afraid, let's take them down!"
Guan Hongyu: "This suspect is vicious enough."
Arrest the group owner's friends to put internal pressure on the group owner.
Posting videos on external websites puts external pressure on the group owner.
A three-day countdown was set to give the group owner a sense of urgency.
The seven missing people will even kill each other, and the longer it takes to find them, the more likely they are to die.
This makes the group owner nervous every moment.
How insidious!
Jigsaw: "The suspect has been proceeding cautiously, and every move so far has clearly been meticulously planned."
They went to such great lengths to deal with the group owner, yet they didn't use any methods that directly threatened the group owner's life.
Clearly, the suspect didn't want the group owner to die so easily.
They wanted to slowly torture the group owner, making him wish he were dead.
Group admin, you'd better be careful this time!
Kogoro Mouri: "The suspect harbors a deep grudge against the group leader."
It is the spy we have discussed many times before.
Or perhaps someone else the group admin has offended?
Conan: "The probability of a spy is indeed higher."
The most direct conflict between the group owner and the spy is the repeated investigations of cases related to the spy.
But for this part of the grudge, the spy could simply kill the group owner.
I feel there's no need to complicate things so much.
There must be something else going on here.
Perhaps it's related to elegance?
Shen Yi: "The six notes left by the murderer are also interesting."
At the end of each note, the killer left a smiley face emoji.
ˉ?ˉ
Based on my research on suspects, if a suspect leaves symbols at the scene that express their emotions...
The emotion conveyed by the symbol itself is usually not the accurate state of the murderer.
Their state is most likely the opposite of the emotions indicated by the symbol.
Take the smiley face symbol, for example. On the surface, it represents happiness and laughter.
But hidden behind the smiling face, the killer's true emotions are more likely to be negative emotions such as anger, distress, and dissatisfaction.
This corresponds to the suspect's deep-seated hatred towards the group administrator.
Yao Xuechen:
"My opinion is similar to Shen Yi's."
This is also reflected in the killer's writings.
Especially the first note, in which the murderer wrote—
Let me see how amazing you are.
Imagine in what situations in daily life you would say this?
Guan Hongyu: "You're not convinced, are you!"
I just watched a TV series about basketball.
The protagonist is highly talented and admired by everyone, so the supporting characters secretly try to trip him up, and similar thoughts appear in their inner monologues.
'I'll see just how good you are.'
The supporting character's emotions at the time were probably resentment, coupled with jealousy.
The person who left the note probably felt something similar!
Kiko: "But isn't that a bit off?"
It's normal for the suspect to hate the group administrator.
But where does one begin to feel resentful or jealous?
People with different perspectives usually experience similar emotions within the same field.
There's no reason for jealousy to arise in a field where investigators and suspects are constantly at odds, is there?
Kogoro Mouri: "That's really strange!"
Judging from the suspect's current actions, it is clear that he wants to challenge the group administrator's authority in the field of investigation.
What he resented and envied was the group owner's ability to solve cases.
This idea must have come from someone in the same industry as the group owner.
As a criminal, and given the investigator's exceptional investigative abilities, his emotions should indeed lean more towards hatred.
Hannibal: "The suspect is not necessarily resentful or jealous of the group leader's crime-solving abilities."
Human psychology is very complex.
The argument cannot be made so simply.
The suspect may have other motives, such as resentment or jealousy towards the group administrator.
But in this respect, the suspect is no match for the group owner.
So we can only settle for the next best thing.
I want to try to beat the group leader in his area of expertise, so as to prove that I am better than the group leader.
This is actually a very normal competitive mentality.
Qin Feng: "Then the question now is, in which areas, or what things, did the group owner cause the suspect to feel jealous and resentful?"
After a moment's thought, the group members all had the same name in their minds—
elegant!
This case is most likely related to the spy.
Aside from the cases, the only connection between Shen Ting and the prying eyes is elegance.
Based on the previous discussion, we can rule out the case investigation capability for now.
The answer is self-evident.
Kiko: "Hey, group admin, it seems like someone's jealous of your close relationship with Teacher Gao!"
(^_^)”
Tang Ren: "In the end, it all comes down to love."
Guan Hongyu: "Does this mean that some of the voyeurs might also appreciate elegance?"
Perhaps he even pursued her, but was rejected?
As a result, Teacher Gao and the group admin got along very well.
The other party became jealous and wanted to take revenge on the group owner.
That's why he devised this revenge plan, not only to ruin the group owner's reputation, but also to prove that he was more powerful than the group owner.
Is that what you mean?
If that's the case, then it seems more reasonable.
Is it really that complicated?
Besides, is it really that bad?
Shen Ting frowned slightly.
He did think that everyone's analysis made some sense.
On the other hand, he felt that his relationship with Teacher Gao was not yet at the point where it would arouse jealousy.
Because he and Teacher Gao had barely started dating.
They haven't even officially confirmed their relationship yet!
Surely this shouldn't be enough to arouse jealousy?
