Threatening the safety of family members.
Su Ming's bold inference made Chen Sheng think seriously for several seconds, but he asked uncertainly.
"Team Leader Su."
"Family members may indeed be one of Lan Caier's weaknesses, and they can also be used as a means of threat."
"Because, from the intelligence and clues I have currently obtained, Lan Cai'er's relationship with her family is not bad, and can even be said to be very good."
"Besides my parents, there are my grandparents and my younger brother who is still in junior high school."
"But the problem is... half a year ago, I asked Lan Cai'er's family whether they had received any special threats or warnings?"
"At that time, the answer I gave was no. They were all highly educated and had no grudges against others. They were courteous in everything."
Su Ming shook his head slightly, and then retorted very seriously.
"No, no, Director Lin."
"There's no need to threaten. There's no need to let Lan Cai'er's family know."
"In other words, we just need to make Lan Caier sure that even if she makes those important evidence public, the criminal organization has the ability to kill her family."
Speaking of this.
Su Ming paused for two seconds, narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued meaningfully.
"Director Chen."
"You think it was a verbal warning to Lan Cai'er, saying that if she told anyone, not only would she be beheaded, but her family would also be buried with her. It was scary."
"Or... sneak into Lan Cai'er's parents' house and take a picture of them with a gun pointed at their heads while they are asleep, which is more terrifying?"
"Of course, this is just my metaphor. I can't be sure that the ghost did this."
"But what I can be sure of is that... the thing that the ghost took out is not that simple, as it can cover Lan Cai'er's mouth in an instant and make her dare not say a word."
"Also, Director Chen, please take a close look at the investigation record on the projector, especially the second paragraph, the end that you highlighted in red."
"Lan Caier first received a message, or an unknown picture, but then she called right after that."
"He hung up after less than ten seconds, and when he came back his eyes were red, and he even lost control of his emotions and collapsed."
"Lan Caier's mood changed from being confused and puzzled when she first received the picture to being shocked and panicked. She immediately called to verify the result, and when she got the positive result, she immediately broke down."
"The reason for this series of emotional changes is probably... something important was taken away by a ghost as a threat, and then destroyed, causing the only hope in my heart to collapse."
"Amplify the fear in your prey's heart and use everything you can."
"But not family members. Lan Cai'er's family members have not been harmed, nor have they received any threats."
"Then, what else could Lan Caier value so much and cause such a huge change in her emotions?"
"Moreover, it can also hint to Lan Cai'er that if she doesn't behave herself, her family will pay the price because of her."
This moment.
Su Ming's mind started to work rapidly, and he began to think about what it could be.
It is extremely important to Lan Caier, but it was destroyed and used by the ghost in order to make Lan Caier surrender and keep the important evidence in his stomach.
Three seconds later.
Su Ming, who was thinking seriously, suddenly remembered...
When I was looking at the case files and Lan Caier’s personal information and resume.
In several pictures, Lan Caier took selfies while holding an underage orange cat, and judging from her actions, she is indeed very close to this orange cat.
At the same time, there is another crucial point.
In order to make her work more convenient and reduce commuting time, Lan Caier does not live in her own home.
Instead, he rented a single apartment near Jiahe City TV Station.
If nothing unexpected happens, this orange cat, which has not yet reached adulthood, is most likely a small pet that Lan Caier bought to keep herself company.
After several months of getting along, it is obvious that they have developed a certain affection and are very close to the orange cat.
Think of this.
Su Ming couldn't help but tap the table, looked at Chen Sheng in front of the projector, and asked seriously.
"Director Chen."
"When you went to Lan Cai'er's single apartment to look for clues, did you find a ginger cat?"
"Orange cat?" Chen Sheng repeated these two words with a hint of curiosity on his face, but he also answered immediately.
"No orange cats or other small animals were found."
"However, we actually found quite a few pet supplies in the room, such as cat litter boxes and cat climbing frames."
"Then, when we went to check, the doors and windows of the bachelor apartment were open, so we suspected that the cat that Lan Caier raised had most likely escaped on its own."
"After all, it took a long time for Lan Cai'er to be discovered after the accident. With no one to provide food, it's quite normal for the orange cat to sneak away..."
Before Chen Sheng could finish.
Su Ming waved his hand, interrupting his subsequent words and spoke very seriously.
"No, Director Chen."
"Lan Cai'er is not a new cat owner who knows nothing about cats. She has been raising this orange cat for several months."
"So, the biggest characteristic of cat owners is that even if their homes are extremely stuffy and the air is filled with cat hair and debris, as long as the balcony windows are not sealed, they will never open the doors and windows."
"This is a habit. I don't think Lan Caier would make such a mistake. Moreover, judging from those selfies, ..."
"Lan Caier and the orange cat are very close, so there is no such thing as deliberately opening the doors and windows in the hope that the orange cat will run away on its own."
"Then there is one possibility. That is... in the days before Lan Cai'er's accident, she had already decided that her cat would never come back, so naturally there was no need to close the doors and windows."
Hear this.
Chen Sheng already understood what Su Ming meant, and immediately widened his eyes and continued speaking.
"Team Leader Su."
"So what you mean is...that's why Lan Cai'er's mood changed so drastically nine days before the accident."
"Actually... you just learned or received the news that your orange cat was in trouble?"
"If I add more details, I think it's very likely that the ghost entered Lan Cai'er's single apartment through some means, took the orange cat away, tortured it to death, and then sent it to Lan Cai'er?"
"Being able to enter the locked bachelor apartment and take the orange cat away proves that..."
"The ghost was also able to easily enter the house where Lan Caier's family lived and slash their necks with a sharp dagger."
"This time it's a cat, next time it's a person?"
Su Ming did not answer Chen Sheng's words immediately, but lowered his eyes and rubbed his fingers.
"Director Chen."
"Let the officers from the Criminal Investigation Technology Division check the surveillance cameras of the single apartment that Lan Caier rented."
"I think that since only half a year has passed since the case began, we may still be able to find some valuable clues..."
