Of course, upon discovering the comments, we immediately interviewed some of the onlookers, and they all unanimously stated that no one had crossed the warning line to enter. In the end, we stubbornly went to the relevant department and requested surveillance footage near the Gene Building, only to find that the cameras outside the building had been damaged as well.
Several officers who had been at the comment location expressed their regret; without any leads, it would be quite difficult to gather clues. They wanted to take proactive measures, hoping to capture the culprit through various traces rather than passively waiting at the Gene Cold Storage based on the criminal's comments. After all, they were human too and had their pride—who would want to be led around by a criminal?
Unlike the disappointed officers, the audience was filled with excitement.
"Wow! How bold is Nan Er? Sticking something right on someone’s car window?"
"But wait, wasn’t Nan Er evacuated early? The whole class is a witness—could it be that Nan Er has a mysterious accomplice?"
"That’s unlikely. When the Gene Building was blown up, only Nan Er and Arson appeared in the footage. If suddenly there’s another accomplice who hasn’t been introduced before, that would just be ridiculous. The production team can’t be that foolish, right?"
In the distance, Xu Lie finally caught sight of the discussions in the comments and felt relieved enough to close his eyes and sleep. As for what actions Ancheng would take after the meeting, Xu Lie could gather information from the comments without needing to stay up late, so as not to let lack of rest affect his energy.
The mastermind slept soundly while the meeting continued. The Squad Leader passed the microphone to a psychologist. The psychologist also used equipment, projecting a psychological model on a large screen: "First, we need to establish that the perpetrator possesses a certain sense of self-righteousness."
This was evidenced by how the perpetrator triggered the fire alarm in advance to evacuate people and avoid casualties, as well as by the words "judgment" in their comments. The psychologist was not an explosives expert; this statement caused dissatisfaction among the staff below. They absolutely did not agree that a bomber could possess a sense of justice.
Of course, the psychologist wasn’t naïve either; he could clearly see the atmosphere in the room: "What I mean is that self-righteousness differs from what is commonly understood as justice by the public. In the eyes of the perpetrator, their actions are justified; however, in most people's view, what they did is nothing short of a heinous terrorist attack."
Furthermore, judging from their comments, it was clear that they were a standard high-IQ criminal with an air of superiority in their words. From this, we could infer that the perpetrator likely possessed a high level of education and had undergone relatively rigorous skill training with excellent results.
Lastly, there was an evident hatred towards the New Marriage Law expressed in their actions—both Gene Building and their next target, Gene Cold Storage, were foundational realities of this law. Thus, after discussions among my colleagues and me, we tentatively concluded that what many of us see as a beneficial New Marriage Law may have caused significant harm to this perpetrator in the past.
The staff below finally showed expressions of admiration; the psychologist's conclusions were immensely helpful to them! Had they suffered harm from the New Marriage Law? And were they also a high-IQ individual?
These two characteristics make it too easy for them to pinpoint the culprit!
"Impressive, impressive! It feels like the psychology experts are just as good as the Former Demolition Expert. In such a short time, they've nearly completed the background analysis on Nan Er."
"Really? I actually feel that the more the expert team analyzes, the more they go off track. In terms of education, Xu Lie is just a high school student; in terms of skills, he probably taught himself and lacks any relevant training background. He has been affected by the New Marriage Law, but Xu Lie is definitely not an isolated case."
"What you said makes a lot of sense. Suddenly, I feel sorry for them working through the night in meetings, putting in effort on the wrong path. Just thinking about it is tough."
"A lengthy analysis isn't as effective as my one-liner: this is only the Second Act. If Nan Er gets discovered right away, how will the rest of the story unfold?"
"Damn, that really hits home! Old Brother is right; there's no need to worry—it's only the Second Act!"
