Five minutes later, Zhang Qing leaned forward and asked Zou Xingjing, "Can't you drive a little faster?"
Before Zou Xingjing could respond, Song Nian jumped in, saying, "He's a novice driver; this is already his fastest speed." He shot a glance at Zou Xingjing, a look of schadenfreude on his face.
Zou Xingjing let out a heavy "hmph," remaining silent.
"Speaking of which," Song Nian continued, "why are we in such a hurry to get to Yang Yanrong's house?"
"She is in danger. According to the murder pattern you all deduced, she will die," Zhang Qing replied.
Song Nian said, "Didn't I just tell you? The killer is a stubborn person who strictly adheres to their own murder formula. They killed Shen Zhi on August 18, Wang Jian on August 19, and today, August 20, they will kill Xiao Wanshan. Therefore, they will wait until tomorrow, August 21, to kill Yang Yanrong."
Zhang Qing inhaled sharply. "The killer is someone with a very high IQ. Everything that has happened so far, including your actions, is under their control. This means their intelligence surpasses yours and their plans are very meticulous. Do you agree?"
Song Nian gritted his teeth, feeling unconvinced but had to admit the truth of Zhang Qing's words. He could only say, "I reluctantly agree."
"So, you deduce that 'the killer will not act against Yang Yanrong until August 21' is also within their expectations. Since you've come to this conclusion, you will naturally intensify protection for Yang Yanrong on August 21. At that point, it will be difficult for them to strike. If I were in their position and knew that August 21 was unfavorable for killing Yang Yanrong, I would definitely move the murder date earlier."
"But," Song Nian countered, "the killer is a stubborn person who wouldn't easily break their own murder formula. Since their plan allows for only one victim per day, they won't violate that rule."
"No one ever said the killer's plan was limited to one victim per day; that's just your own assumption," Zhang Qing said coldly.
“……”
Zhang Qing continued, “Moreover, even if the murderer initially planned to kill one person each day and take five days to piece together the cat's corpse, your intervention in the investigation might disrupt their plan. To ensure the completion of their entire scheme, they would have to move the killing timeline up. They would rather slightly alter their plan than let it come to a halt.
“The murderer’s wicked intelligence far surpasses yours. Everything you can think of, they can think of too. They must ensure that every step they take is ahead of you, making it impossible for you to predict their next move, thus guaranteeing their ultimate victory.”
Zhang Qing's words left Zou Xingjing and Song Nian drenched in sweat and speechless. Before they could respond, Zhang Qing added, “The murderer believes they have seen through all your actions and thinks you cannot disrupt their plan. However, there is one thing they did not anticipate.”
“What is it?” Zou Xingjing asked.
Zhang Qing exhaled softly and said slowly, “They did not account for the fact that you would encounter me.”
“Here we are!” After more than twenty minutes, Zou Xingjing announced, “According to our investigation, Yang Yanrong’s home is right here.”
“Let’s go!” Zhang Qing urged.
Song Nian felt skeptical and thought to himself, “At this moment, Yang Yanrong must be safe and sound.”
But his assumption was completely wrong! When the three of them arrived at Yang Yanrong’s doorstep and rang the doorbell for a long time without anyone answering, they forced the door open only to find Yang Yanrong lying on the floor, lifeless.
