Tan Jiao's Perspective

  I feel like I've lost all face in the Wu family now.

  Because that evening, after Wu Yu and I chatted, we actually fell asleep together like this, without even closing the door tightly. And his mother and sister didn't even come to call us. Until the two of us slept together until the next morning.

  When Wu Yu got up and went to wash, I sat on the bed, holding the quilt and staring blankly. I knew that her mother and sister were all kind-hearted people, afraid of embarrassing me, or they themselves were shy, now they have gone out to buy breakfast. And my hair was messy and my clothes were disheveled after just waking up, what did I look like?

  I think Wu Yu is a person who loves his family and has a bit of a patriarchal mindset. And now, I'm like the new daughter-in-law who's about to be spoiled by being locked in her room.

  He walked back into the house, having shaved and looking refreshed and clean, the fatigue of last night completely gone. When he saw me, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. I deliberately ignored him, changed my clothes and stormed out. It was because he had held me too tightly that I slept so soundly, and at his place, we were together without any restraint.

  However, as we sipped tea and sat on the balcony basking in the sun eating breakfast, it had to be said that after such a night, both of our spirits and attitudes had adjusted. We faced this fact again - the first pursuit of that person ended in failure.

  These past few days, I've been repeatedly thinking over this case, combining what I've learned from interacting with the police and other information I've directly or indirectly obtained. I spoke out my thoughts: "I've summarized his several characteristics:

  Undoubtedly, he has a high IQ, with meticulous planning and perseverance. For each victim, he would track, analyze, and investigate in advance. Then select the most suitable time and place for the crime. He protected himself very well, leaving no traces at the scene. I bet he was also observing the police's movements at the same time.

  One person, so many cases, almost all without mistakes. And that night when you two had a showdown, he was injured and still managed to get up with great tenacity, which requires extremely strong willpower and absolute focus on the crime.

  Second, he is a lone wolf. As far as I know, in history, highly intelligent and organized serial killers with high IQs rarely have partners. Because their world is already very distorted, self-centered, and closed, they need to carry out a strong personal will throughout the entire hunting process, and they also look down on people who are not as good as themselves. So it's very difficult to have a gang. From the existing case data, this point is also reflected. The two previous victims, their corpse characteristics were very similar, with uniform means and obvious style, without any signs of two killers. I heard that the police also inferred this way.

  Thirdly, he didn't do anything provocative to the police before, it can be seen that he has no interest in fame and fun. He really just wants to satisfy his own criminal desires. Such a person is both clever and ruthless, and his personality must also be very arrogant. Now that his crime has been interrupted by us, and we even took a blurry picture of him, the risk of his committing another crime is higher, do you think he will give up now?

  Wu Yu took a sip of tea, his eyes narrowed and said, "No."

  I smiled slightly: "I think so too. Because he is extremely proud, he doesn't allow himself to fail even more. The fact that he has been committing crimes so frequently this time shows that his emotions have reached a high tide."
