Every police officer had taken a course on the psychology of committing crimes at some point when they had been through the police training academy. When cracking cases in the real world, sometimes they would have to analyze the thoughts of a criminal and this criminal's actions as a speculative means to assist them with the case.

But Fang Qing really had never seen an expert in this field at work before.

For the time being, he decided he would just observe and see how it would go. Fang Qing and a few other officers exchanged some meaningful glances. However, that Bo Jinyan lad continued sitting down, as he drank his tea in a calm manner. It was as if he had experienced too many of these types of scenarios and interacted with too many police officers like them.

The midnight wind was extremely quiet. As they waited, everything seemed particularly quiet. Fang Qing noticed that Jian Yao had already seated herself next to Bo Jinyan and opened her laptop. Bo Jinyan slightly lowered his head and said something to her. Jian Yao nodded and resumed a focused and indifferent manner that was no different from that of Bo Jinyan. The way the two of them interacted suddenly made Fang Qing think of a phrase: A pair of ideal lovers.

In fact, in the past, Fang Qing had also anticipated this type of love, with a sweet tempered and gentle woman by his side.

However, in the end, the person whom he fell in love with was a cunning hawk.

Fang Qing laughed at himself mockingly.

Then, Bo Jinyan spoke, "This person is someone from the area, and has probably lived in the area for a very long time. Moreover, the perpetrator has committed this crime independently, and is more than twenty-years-old.

"He is either someone Fu Wei, the victim, knew, or he is at least someone who interacted with Fu Wei before in the ancient city.

On the night of the incident, he was wearing a thick jacket which he later abandoned.

"He possesses the ability to fool a lie detector, as well as a variety of counter-interrogation techniques. He seems to be quite familiar with the way the police handle their cases. He may have clashed with the police once because of a different case. For example, the perpetrator may have been a suspect, or someone related to the suspect, and undergone a full police investigation.

"He lives no more than a few streets away from the crime scene, and does not have the prerequisites to live alone.

He is either unemployed or working a lower level job.

He usually handles matters audaciously yet meticulously. His plans are impenetrable, but his character is extremely depressive with some signs of split personalities, but in his professional life, he is extremely automated, and this secret is unknown to all. There must be something in his surroundings that impacted his life so dramatically that would lead to his long-term pressure that he stifles inside him.

Your focus should be to find someone who fulfills the requirements that I have just listed out for you from the people you have already investigated who directly interacted with Fu Wei once he entered the ancient city. Examine their alibis and find witnesses. You will be rewarded very soon."
