Hearing Shen Qiang's words, Ali pouted and said with disbelief, "Shen Qiang, stop it, will you? The case of the cultivator coercing women, you can tell at a glance, those bastards were just forcing those women to sell their bodies to make money. They're just using them as tools for their financial gain."

This made Ye Xiaolei and Qian Shanxue's eyes show a look of appreciation.

After all, this kind of situation is the most common and the least surprising result.

But Shen Qiang smiled, "Didn't you ever consider those corpses? Their common feature is being over 1.8 meters tall, in their prime, and business elites. So, what reason could make them disappear without leaving any clues?"

The three women were stunned.

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Do you know when a man would hide his whereabouts from his relatives, family, and friends? I'll tell you, it's only when he's sneaking around. They would find a seemingly reasonable excuse, making everyone around them believe that he is going to do something serious and important."

"But in reality, he is sneaking around. This way, even if someone finds out he's missing and reports it, the people around can only provide the pre-made information, making it difficult to find out the truth."

Qian Shanxue's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "I understand. You mean, a cultivator is using those beautiful women to select targets, then lure those business elites out, and the killing maniac can then silently kill them."

Shen Qiang smiled, took a piece of meat, and then said, "Bold assumptions, careful verification. This is where seemingly unrelated things might actually be connected."

Ye Xiaolei's eyes lit up, and she said admiringly, "Shen Qiang is amazing! Thinking about it, if so many people went missing, if those men hadn't lied and covered their tracks well enough, it's impossible that no one noticed the connection between their disappearances."

"Call me Shen Qiang," Shen Qiang smiled.

Ye Xiaolei blushed instantly. Her charming gaze and coquettish smile made Ali stand up abruptly.

"You slept together!" Ali said angrily, "That must be it!"

Qian Shanxue was dumbfounded.

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Ali, shut up. What happens between Ye Xiaolei and me is our business and has nothing to do with you. Now is the time to discuss the case."

Hearing this, Ali's face turned pale, and she sat down angrily, pouting without saying a word.

Qian Shanxue's expression became a bit strange.

But when Shen Qiang looked at her, she regained her iceberg goddess demeanor and said solemnly, "Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, it is worth investigating. After all, from the perspective of the bodies, Shen Qiang's hypothesis is not unreasonable."

"What reason?" Ali said angrily, "There are plenty of sluts frequenting high-end places. They are in it for the money. Even if the men's disappearances and deaths have something to do with this, how do you investigate across thousands of entertainment venues in the city?"

Shen Qiang smiled, "There may be thousands of venues in the city, but not many cultivators with girls. And after hearing what you said, my thoughts have become clearer. Suppose the maniac murderer hidden in Doushi Temple has other cultivators around him."

"Then it is entirely possible that his subordinates or accomplices select the targets while he executes the plan, making the whole case clear."

Looking at the infuriated Ali.

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Let's hypothesize that if the maniac murderer is a gang of more than two people, then all the mysteries that confuse us will be easily solved."

Looking at Qian Shanxue, Shen Qiang continued, "Two people work together, one using their charm, mingling among the business elites and selecting suitable targets. When the time is right, the men, for the sake of profit and beauty, fabricate reasonable excuses to cover their tracks before walking into a pre-set trap."

"Then, the maniac murderer of Doushi Temple can kill them silently, leaving no trace. No one realizes the true whereabouts of the missing persons, and no one can connect their disappearances because each person is lying, but the lies are different."

"This explains why no one has discovered this over thirty years."

"After all, once a case is filed, with the police's capabilities, no one can actually vanish without a trace."

Hearing this.

Qian Shanxue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Makes a lot of sense. Looks like we need some assistants."

Shen Qiang smiled, "No need for now. Tomorrow, we'll spread the word at Doushi Temple to scare him. As for the cultivator controlling numerous beautiful women and frequently visiting high-end places, leave that to me. I have an insider there, so we might get some unexpected results."

Qian Shanxue nodded, "Great, let's do it that way."

Shen Qiang smiled, but before he could speak, his phone on the dining table suddenly rang.

Shen Qiang glanced at it and was slightly surprised to see that the caller was Bianyi.

He casually answered the call.

The call connected.

Then Shen Qiang heard the cold voice of Bianyi on the other end, "My dear boss, I've got some really unpleasant news. We have a problem, so you better come to the office now. We'll talk in person."

Shen Qiang was slightly surprised but understood that if Bianyi wanted to talk in person, it must be something very important.

Even though Qian Shanxue, Ali, and Ye Xiaolei wouldn't harm Shen Qiang.

There was no need to involve them in Heshenghe matters.

So Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be at the office."

After hanging up, Shen Qiang got up and said, "The Doushi Temple murder case and the case of the cultivator controlling numerous beautiful women and frequently visiting high-end places, I think they can be investigated together. However, there are many smart people in this world, and highly intelligent criminals are everywhere. So, I can only say that this is my speculation."

"Whether the reality matches my thoughts is still unclear. So, let's leave it at that. Tomorrow, according to my plan, put enough pressure on them, and I guarantee that the maniac murderer will definitely slip up."

Looking at the time, Shen Qiang said, "That's it, I have to go to the office. You guys eat."

With that, Shen Qiang turned and left.

When he reached the door, Ye Xiaolei chased after him. Looking at Shen Qiang's back, she said anxiously, "Shen Qiang, be careful."

The smiling Shen Qiang who was opening the door said brightly, "Don't worry, there will be no problems."
