"Director Zheng, actually I've read a lot of books on criminal psychology before. Based on the killer's various behaviors, his ultimate goal in killing is to provoke and humiliate the police."

"So we can basically rule out any connection between him and the three victims... The first two victims we can still explain as random acts, but the third victim, Zheng Bei, was definitely not random."

"The killer definitely knew Zheng Bei's identity, and he was able to strike accurately on the way home from work, which shows a deep understanding of either Zheng Bei or the police movements at the time. This is difficult for an outsider to manage, so I suspect he might be someone from within the police force!"

"Moreover, the surveillance around the scene left no trace of him, which also suggests he is very familiar with the terrain around Yongjiang Bridge and Yongjiang Square, consciously avoiding all surveillance cameras during the crime."

While Zheng Changjun was reviewing the files, Luo Fei also succinctly shared some key deductions.

The former nodded repeatedly, realizing that he could organize so much information without even looking at the files, proving that Luo Fei had indeed put in a lot of effort and wasn't just all talk.

"Your analysis makes a lot of sense. In fact, we had similar suspicions at the time, because the killer seemed to be very aware of our police movements, leading us around by the nose."

"So we also investigated members within the public security, but unfortunately, nothing was found."

"May I ask, Director Zheng, who were the personnel you investigated?"

"Of course, it was the entire team within the Criminal Investigation Brigade and the Public Security Bureau."

"Director Zheng, I have a question. Why do you think only the registered personnel of the public security count as internal? Shouldn't the cleaning staff and cafeteria workers also be considered?"

"But they are only external personnel, completely unaware of the case arrangements; how could they know our movements?"

"That's not right." Luo Fei shook his head, rejecting Zheng Changjun's explanation.

"The killer committed the murders, so he may know the case details better than you. He doesn't need to know your arrangements, nor care about the progress of your investigation. He only needs to know the general movements of your personnel to avoid your sights and commit murder."

Luo Fei's words were like a wake-up call.

Zheng Changjun suddenly came to a realization.

Initially, they focused on the point that the killer knew the police movements, leading to suspicions that it was an internal police personnel leaking information, since only those individuals could easily learn the police's investigative directions.

However, upon careful consideration, they realized this conclusion was also based on the incident of Zheng Bei's murder.

As Luo Fei said, the killer didn't need to know whether Zheng Bei was investigating or visiting that day; he only needed to know that Zheng Bei would be out with the police team and return late.

So he just needed to wait on Zheng Bei's return path and select the right opportunity to ambush him...

Luo Fei truly had some talent!

Realizing this, Zheng Changjun, who had no hope before, suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.

He had a premonition that this case might really be cracked by Luo Fei!

But he still couldn't make up his mind about whether to take this risk...

Seeing he hadn't spoken, Zhao Donglai was anxious, "Director Zheng, what do you think of Luo Fei's analysis? Is there hope for solving the case?"

"His reasoning is indeed clear, and his analysis of the case is spot on..."

"Then what are we waiting for, just hand this case over to us!"

Through Luo Fei's analysis, Zhao Donglai also saw hope for solving the case.

Seeing the hesitation, he steeled himself, "If you're still not reassured, I can make a pledge. If we can't solve the case, I'll resign immediately as team captain!"

Luo Fei was taken aback, "Captain Zhao, no, this case is my initiative. If anyone should make a pledge, it should be me."

Although he was confident, Luo Fei knew it wasn't right to let the leader take the blame while staying uninvolved.

"Luo Fei, don't worry, this is my own decision, it has nothing to do with you."

Having said this, it wasn't necessary to involve Luo Fei as well.

Zhao Donglai firmly declined.

Seeing this, Zheng Changjun was speechless, "I haven't said anything yet, why are you both rushing to make pledges?"

Did they see him as an unapproachable leader?

"Heh heh, Director Zheng, I'm just worried you're not reassured... Actually, I truly think you can trust Luo Fei this time." Zhao Donglai smiled somewhat obsequiously.

"I never said I didn't trust him, alright, you guys head back for now, I'll report to the provincial office immediately."

Zheng Changjun actually hoped more than anyone to get to the bottom of this case and restore the reputation of Jiangzhou's police.

Since they were so determined, he'd gamble with them once.

No matter the outcome, he just needed to stay true to his police uniform!

Upon hearing him relent, Zhao Donglai smiled happier than anyone else.

"Alright, Director Zheng, we'll be awaiting your good news."

Life soon returned to normal in the following days.

Luo Fei waited for news from Zheng Changjun while continuing his daily routine of work.

With his good personality, humility, and down-to-earth approach, he gradually grew familiar with his colleagues, especially getting along well with several members of Group Three.
