Eyes that are the same as those of evil

Chapter 172 The Hand of God 25
Three years ago, someone framed Kuang Fan, causing several children with mental health issues to be neglected, and ultimately leading to Li Xin's death.

Around the same time, that person recommended the Skinner box to the Jiang family, indirectly leading to the Jiang family's tragedy.

A person who never appeared, whose name, gender, height, or other identity was unknown, casually caused two murders.

Inside the interrogation room, Kuang Fan was still in a fit of impotent rage, shouting that it was impossible.

Zheng Yan got up and returned to the office. Everyone looked very serious and gathered together to analyze the situation.

Tan Ming said, "We thought the Jiang family twins' matter was only related to Kuang Fan. Now it seems that this mastermind is the instigator. Perhaps he deliberately guided the Jiang family to Kuang Fan's clinic."

Xiao Chen gasped: "The people who were framed had no idea who the other person was, and never even thought they were being framed. Just like that, one became the murderer, and two became the victims."

“Not only that,” Zheng Yan said in a deep voice, “this style of interfering and causing tragedy by chance is very similar to the case of Zou Yuxuan. Do you remember? Zou Yuxuan and Zhou Yan’s one-night stand also seemed to be deliberately designed by someone.”

They then remembered the case of the pregnant woman who burned her body at the beginning, and remained silent for a while.

After a while, Xiao Chen touched the back of his neck and muttered, "This gives me the creeps. But who is he? Apart from the Jiang family and Kuang Fan, who are the patient's family and doctor, the other parties in these three cases have no connection whatsoever."

Serial killers typically choose victims who are related or similar to them.

For example, a murderer might kill the same family member/the same group of cronies/someone involved in a similar incident from many years ago, all in the name of revenge.

For example, someone who kills purely for pleasure might kill people with similar characteristics, such as homosexuals, women with long hair and red dresses, or people from the same area who are being relocated due to land expropriation.

However, Zou Yuxuan, Kuang Fan, and the Jiang family couple have no connection to each other.

Especially Zou Yuxuan, who has absolutely no connection to the latter two cases.

Tan Jia slowly kneaded the dough, and the spray can was about to take shape when she stopped.

"Actually, I'm more curious about why he did this. The way he orchestrated the tragedy in such a roundabout way doesn't seem like revenge, it's not about money, and it has nothing to do with love or hate. It's more like... playing a trick."

As she uttered the word, a blurry image of a high-ranking, smiling figure playing chess simultaneously appeared in her mind. The focus wasn't on what he looked like or what game he was playing, but rather on the sense of dominance he exuded.

"His interference in the Jiang family's education, Kuang Fan's frustration, and Zou Yuxuan and Huang Yilin's love affair is like someone who has nothing better to do than discover a fun game and wants to get involved to see if things will become more interesting."

“Your description is even more chilling,” Xiao Chen rubbed the goosebumps on his arms. “But if he just wanted to see how things would develop and didn’t intend for a murder to occur, how could he have so precisely caused the deaths of four people?” “If he intended to cause death from the beginning, that’s even more difficult. How could he be sure that after he orchestrated Zou Yuxuan’s one-night stand with Zhou Yan, he would be killed by Huang Yilin? Getting pregnant after just one encounter isn’t something he could have predicted. And how could he have foreseen that the Skinner box that the Jiang couple used for three years would ultimately lead to the children killing their parents? The twins were only a few years old.”

After a moment of contemplation, Zheng Yan suddenly said, "Personality."

"Huang Yilin is infertile and has a sensitive and insecure personality, but she is very possessive and stubborn in love. If she knows that the person she loves has had a relationship with someone else, she may not care on the surface, but she must care a lot in her heart."

"It would have been better if things had fallen apart completely. His way of handling things—being unable to let go yet unwilling to let go—led him to attribute all sorts of problems to his wife's infidelity in their daily interactions. Especially after learning that Zou Yuxuan was pregnant with Zhou Yan's child and that they would never have a child together, he got stuck in a rut and couldn't get out of it until he convinced himself that it was all Zou Yuxuan's fault, and finally turned to crime."

"Kuang Fan lived an ordinary and unremarkable life for the first half of his life. He was arrogant and conceited, lacked compassion, and didn't get along well with people. Yet, he craved praise. Letting him experience being a hero or savior is like a dog that wants to eat meat discovering a shortcut to get meat. He will definitely be unable to resist taking that path."

“But this kind of thing is always on the edge of crime, and it will inevitably lead to trouble sooner or later. That’s why Li Xin died. If we hadn’t discovered this case, perhaps other people would have been murdered, and Kuang Fan’s behavior would have become increasingly audacious.”

"As for the Jiang couple, they come from a highly educated family, are focused on their work, have arrogant personalities, and are very proud and controlling. They have almost no patience when it comes to educating their children. I remember when Shiyan was first born, she couldn't understand what I was saying and loved to cry. My wife and I were driven to the brink of collapse by taking care of her. Several times she said that she wished she hadn't had the baby. If someone had recommended a box that some famous behavioral scientist had researched that could help educate children to be obedient, we might have accepted it."

“Twins living a life devoid of love, filled only with rewards and punishments, become like frightened birds. The longer this continues, the more psychologically abnormal the children become, exhibiting symptoms such as screaming in protest and masked faces. At this point, they took the children to Kuang Fan’s clinic, which happened to specialize in treating highly educated families like this. As a result, the children’s condition worsened. When the box was reinstated, the children had a strong stress reaction. Both of them were abnormal, and in the end, one of them would inevitably suffer a terrible fate.”

After analyzing each case, he wrote down the personality profiles of the key figures in the three cases on the whiteboard.

Tan Jia was the first to react: "So he wasn't targeting Zou Yuxuan, but Huang Yilin. He can understand these people's personalities so accurately, and even predict the chain reaction that will occur when these people encounter problems. He must have had close contact with Huang Yilin, Kuang Fan, and the Jiang couple, or observed them for a long time. Not many people know that Huang Yilin is infertile."

Zheng Yan nodded and wrote down the clue on the whiteboard.

Xiao Chen's mind went blank, as if swept by a hurricane. He opened his mouth and said, "That's amazing. There was no criminal behavior, but he accurately predicted human nature and caused so many criminal acts... Wait, why did he choose these people specifically for the experiment? Their personalities seem to be precursors to criminal psychology."

Therefore, this person selects people who are likely to commit crimes and leads them down the path of crime.

Is he creating a murderer?

Shuddering, Xiao Chen said, "Is this guy trying to impersonate God? He can cause disaster just by sticking out a finger and stirring things up."

Tan Jia was still stuck on the previous sentence, frowning deeply as she said, "I'm afraid it wasn't just these people they specifically chose. Serial killers are hard to stop committing crimes. The matter between Kuang Fan and the Jiang family started three years ago, and Zou Yuxuan and Zhou Yan's one-night stand was planned a few months ago. With such a long gap in between, there are probably other victims as well."
