Shi Ying was indeed a member here, and Jiang Kexin had gotten the address. To be precise, the person who left the address wasn't Shi Ying, but a fake Shi Ying. Why say that? Because the beautician noticed that Hu Xiaoyu was wearing a fake chest, so while Jiang Kexin was getting her nails done, she asked Shi Ying, who also had a fake chest.
Hearing Jiang Kexin finish, Hu Xiaoyu looked puzzled, "Sister Ying has a fake chest?"
"Fake my ass, we grew up together, I saw that part of her swell up like it was being inflated."
"Right, but why would it be fake?"
After speaking, Hu Xiaoyu even adjusted her latex suit, saying, "D is already very good, any bigger and it wouldn't look natural." Hu Xiaoyu was right, fake figures like Tsunade's did go against Asian aesthetic standards for body shapes.
"You're an idiot, it's that scheming woman who's not big enough."
"Then the address..."
"Let's go check it out first!"
At this point, I just listened and chose to keep quiet.
...
The nearby residential area was soon reached. The door was locked. Hu Xiaoyu knocked and called out, "Sister Ying, it's me, Xiaoyu, are you home?"
There was no movement inside, and no one answered.
"Kexin, open the door," Hu Xiaoyu said to Jiang Kexin.
Jiang Kexin was still not confident in her criminal profiling, and asked in a low voice, "Maybe this family isn't home, and we're wrong?"
"If we're wrong, I'll take responsibility. But how do we open the door? Maybe we should find a locksmith." I took responsibility, but I couldn't open a locked door.
"Kexin can. Her boyfriend is a thief, and she learned top-notch lock-picking skills from him. Last time I forgot my keys..."
The ultimate game theory system simplifies complex social factors and turns the unknown into a simple, controllable element through a game. Just like Zhu Guang, he traps people within his rules, where social complexity becomes irrelevant, and within the game, people can solve problems with simple rules.
Hearing about the ultimate game theory system, Xiao Zi'an gave a wry smile, "It's not that easy. In Teacher Li Jiu's training class, who doesn't want to fuse the four elements? I've tried several times, and even though I can grasp Teacher Li Jiu's underlying logic, I just can't get past that barrier, and I can never understand the concept of 'ultimate'."
"Li Jiu's teaching is sometimes too abstract, complex like a profound subject, and his fellow disciples are different from him. Regarding ultimate game theory, I think Teacher Wang Ren's words capture its essence."
"What?"
"Kill! If you have a good opportunity, strike. There's no need to do everything according to plan."
Xiao Zi'an didn't take this seriously at all and just laughed, "Although I don't like Wang Ren, I can't deny that Wang Ren's realm is stronger than ours, after all, she is Teacher Li Jiu's senior sister."
"Mrs. Xiao~"
"Master, don't worry, it's really nothing. I can still see through the skill of disguise. Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. I still have to help the kids with their homework. We'll talk again later."
...
The lab results from the Criminal Investigation Detachment came out the next day. Among the residue found on Shi Ying's face, there were two substances: plaster and makeup wax. I didn't understand makeup wax very well. When Jiang Kexin came to see me, she bought me a box. This kind of makeup wax is usually used to cover tattoos. I took some, applied it to my hand, blew it dry, and then peeled it off gently. It really felt like peeling off a layer of skin.
Jiang Kexin looked a bit tired, having accompanied Shi Ying yesterday. I was experimenting with the makeup wax while she dozed nearby. Seeing my interest in the makeup wax, she said tiredly, "There's nothing else, I'm going home. I'm sleepy."
"I want to find the killer."
Jiang Kexin blinked, "What does that have to do with me?"
"Your criminal profiling!"
Hearing this, Jiang Kexin gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Stop kidding. Don't treat me like a profiler, I don't have that skill. It's just Sister Ying, I know her well, so I could find her. If you want me to find a stranger who can change their appearance, don't even think about it, it's impossible."
"Why are you so unconfident in yourself?"
"It's not about confidence, brother. It's really impossible. If you want to solve the case, I have an idea: find my mother. She's an honorary mentor in the police investigation circle, a psychology professor, and an expert in criminology. If you can get her help, this matter will definitely be resolved."
I chuckled, "I know my aunt's skills, but I believe finding this person is your specialty."
"No, absolutely not."
I was about to persuade her further when the phone rang. It was Chang Dachun calling me, "Tang Nan, something's happened."
"What's wrong?"
"Today, Mrs. Xiao was supposed to go to Sichuan, right? I took her to send the child to school. But right after I got to the airport, the school teacher called and told me the child was picked up by her mother. Mrs. Xiao was with me, and she didn't pick up the child at all."
"Then why did the teacher say that?"
When I asked this, Chang Dachun handed the phone to Xiao Zi'an. Xiao Zi'an said directly and concisely, "It wasn't me who picked up the child, it was the impostor."
"Send me the name of the school, I'll go there immediately."
...
I brought Jiang Kexin along to where Xiao Zi'an's child attended school. Standing in front of the school gate, I pointed to the empty street and said, "This Schemer has been playing the game of sowing discord. We found Shi Ying and disrupted her plan. Now, in her rage, she's directly targeting us. We don't know where she is or what she looks like. Whether we can find her and save the child depends on you."
Jiang Kexin shook her head frantically, "Putting pressure on me is useless. I can't do it, I really can't."
"Don't you admire the Schemer? If you can find this villain, then you can also become one of them."
This sentence managed to poke at Jiang Kexin's inner core. She looked at me seriously, "Really?"
"Really."
"Let me think."
After speaking, Jiang Kexin squatted on the ground, hugging her legs with her hands, her forehead resting on her knees.
The sun was strong, casting her small figure into sharp relief.
