Ali was not convinced, seemingly ready to question further, when at that moment, Xiu Ju, with her cold gaze, calmly looked at the pure white, coyly posed corpse and said,

Shen Qiang is right, the target is clearly different, and those two conspicuous needle marks mean that this criminal indeed has no connection to the previous Su Tong; this is a case of meticulous imitation. The perpetrator's goal must be to confuse our investigation."

Unhappy, Ali rolled her eyes at Xiu Ju, with an expression as if to say that she was not unaware of these things herself.

At this time, Qian Shanxue furrowed her brows and said, "If Shen Qiang's analysis is correct, then the whole situation is very strange. Very few people are privy to the details of the University City female corpse case. The first to arrive at the scene were three ordinary police officers, followed by two members of the Dragon Group, and then us."

To avoid publicizing the case and causing adverse effects, the materials related to the female corpse case were sealed."

Glancing at Shen Qiang, a slight blush inexplicably touched Qian Shanxue's cheeks, and she continued, "Moreover, the details of the case were not made public when you burned that monstrously evil member of the Blood Clan. Therefore, when we first saw this scene, we instinctively thought this must be Su Tong's accomplice, or the work of another vampire."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Vampires drink blood directly; they would never use two syringes to extract blood."

Qian Shanxue, with furrowed brows, said, "Is it possible that it is a worshipper of Su Tong? After all, there are many vampire culture enthusiasts in the West."

Shen Qiang said, "I can't simply conclude whether this is someone deliberately trying to divert attention or if it is a worshipper paying homage to their idol Su Tong, but I can be sure of one thing. First, this person is not a vampire. Second, they have some knowledge of the University City female corpse case, but it is not complete."

For instance, he does not understand that there are no needle marks on the vampire's victims, nor does he realize that the women hypnotized by Su Tong climax before death. What's more, he is unaware that without exception, all those girls had never given birth."

If it were an accomplice of Su Tong, even if his tastes differed from Su Tong's, he would still be well aware of Su Tong's habits and preferences; such significant errors would not occur."

"Therefore, I personally believe that this person is a Cultivator. He knows some details, but not all, and he has only a few possible motives for committing this crime," Shen Qiang continued.

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "1, To challenge the police or me, showing off his Power. 2, To create an atmosphere of tension. 3, He wants to kill without taking responsibility, so he's framing Su Tong."

Seeing Qian Shanxue's slightly furrowed brows, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Assuming those three points are the obvious goals that are immediately apparent, then a criminal of a higher caliber would realize that this imperfect imitation could not escape our notice for long. If so, his true motive is rather terrifying."

Ali frowned in surprise, asking, "Why do you use the word 'terrifying'?"

Shen Qiang chuckled, "He understands you, knows you can reconstruct a crime scene, and is aware that Ye Xiaolei can find him by his scent. Thus, he used only one hand. You can only simulate that he used one hand to open the hotel door and arrange the body before jumping out of the window."

"You can't simulate what his other hand was doing, which is quite intriguing, isn't it?"

Shen Qiang said with a smile, "Guess, does he have only one hand, or is there a disability in his other hand, or maybe another corpse in that other hand?"

Ali's complexion instantly turned pale.

After pondering for a long time, she muttered to herself, "His other hand, the other hand..."

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang looked at Ye Xiaolei and said, "You mentioned discerning hundreds of scents in the room and being able to identify their sources, yet you couldn't find the scent of the person who placed the body. This proves he knows of your existence."

Ye Xiaolei looked at Shen Qiang in shock, asking, "You mean he did it on purpose?"

"Yes," Shen Qiang said with preternatural calm. "Given the current situation, this is the only logical explanation. Otherwise, I can't see why a Cultivator would go to such lengths to cover up his scent."

"After all, it's very difficult for ordinary people to detect someone just by smell," Shen Qiang thoughtfully recalled the big black dog at Heshenghe, saying, "Moreover, since he had already decided to fly away through the window, imitating Su Tong, there was no need to hide his scent. Even the most keen-nosed hound couldn't track him down by smell alone."

Glancing sideways at Ye Xiaolei, Shen Qiang said, "Unless... he knew that the person who would be looking for him was the up-and-coming star of Dragon Group, known for her sense of smell, Xun Xiang."

Qian Shanxue frowned and said, "Even so, this case doesn't seem that terrifying."

Shen Qiang laughed and calmly raised an eyebrow, "If we synthesize the current situation, first, the perpetrator knows about the University City female corpse case and is aware of your investigative methods, having taken precautions against them. Such a meticulous mind would surely realize that the illusions he created might deceive you temporarily, but being unmasked would only be a matter of time."

"Then why would he still do this?" Shen Qiang looked at Qian Shanxue with a mocking smile. "Do you think he exerted all that effort just to buy time? If he wanted to delay discovery and not be noticed, he had thousands of ways to make the body disappear."

"To catch our attention!" Qian Shanxue suddenly realized, "This person just wants to use the body to draw our attention to something."

"Exactly," Shen Qiang said with a casual lift of his eyebrows, "He just wants us to notice this case."

Then, examining the room that was clearly a rental, Shen Qiang said, "So if I'm not mistaken, go ahead and search. He must have left some clue that you will discover in this room."

Almost simultaneously, Xiu Ju, with gloved hands, picked up a red-covered booklet from underneath the corpse's buttocks and said, "I think this might be what you were talking about."

Qian Shanxue's eyes brightened, "What does it say on it?"

"A blood donation certificate from the Red Queen District Blood Station health clinic." Xiu Ju opened the booklet, took a quick look, and then removed a small one-inch photo from inside, placing it on the shoulder of the corpse, asking, "Is this man a doctor?"

The room's occupants immediately saw the photo of a middle-aged man in a white coat, looking striking.

Picking up the photo, Shen Qiang furrowed his brow, "Given that there are three blood draw points nearby, why would she travel over twenty kilometers to the Red Queen District Blood Station? And why is there a one-inch photo of this man inside the blood donor card? Could it be—this person, who staged the case, wants us to investigate this man?"
