A perfect crime? To me, it's full of flaws!

"Shouldn't we call for backup?" Zhou Sanguo's back veins bulged, and his eyes showed anxiety.

Da Liu shook his head, his voice low and resolute: "We can't call for backup now. Calling for backup now will directly disrupt the city police headquarters' investigation focus. The bloodstains on that van haven't been DNA compared yet, so no one can guarantee that it's 100% the person we're looking for. Let's go to the small building first and find out the details. We can't let the main force gamble with us on probability."

Zhou Sanguo gritted his teeth, said no more nonsense, and opened the car door.

The three of them sneaked into the backyard of the small building.

Qi Feng walked at the front, and "My Eyes Are a Ruler" was running at full power.

In the dim light, several pale red frames flickered at the edges, extending upwards.

The stairwell was filled with construction waste, emitting a pungent stench of urine and mold. The three maintained tactical formation, advancing along the wall, their footsteps extremely light, landing without a sound.

At the end of the fourth-floor corridor, a red frame converges on a peeling security door.

The door wasn't locked.

Qi Feng put on tactical gloves, exerted force with his wrists, and slowly pushed away.

A slight scraping sound came from the door hinges. The beam of a flashlight cut into the darkness.

The three of them stopped in their tracks at the same time.

It's too clean.

This doesn't belong to an abandoned building at all.

The floor was spotless, without a single footprint. The white sheets on the single bed were smooth and wrinkle-free.

The water glasses and tissue boxes on the table were arranged at perfect right angles, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of unscented hypochlorous acid disinfectant.

Qi Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

In his field of vision, a huge, blindingly bright red frame was flashing wildly on an old freezer in the corner of the room.

This is not a typical clue from the system; the scarlet color indicates extreme danger or crucial evidence.

Qi Feng's heart raced, and he strode over, placing his hand on the freezer handle.

Da Liu and Zhou Sanguo quickly dispersed, gripping their sidearms and keeping their guns pointed at their surroundings.

pull away.

A white, chilly aura rose up.

Upon seeing what was inside, Da Liu gasped in shock, while Zhou Sanguo's legs trembled violently, and his back slammed heavily against the wall.

Three transparent vacuum storage bags.

Inside, three bluish-purple infant corpses lay curled up. The sutures at the incision sites were rough and ugly, with twisted stitches running through the tiny abdomens.

These are stillborn fetuses that were brutally removed from the abdomens of the perpetrators in the previous three murder cases.

"Damn it! You beast!" Liu's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He slammed his fist hard against the wall next to him, breaking his knuckles and drawing blood.

Qi Feng gritted his teeth, suppressing the churning in his stomach. The Qi Consultant who usually loved money, feared death, and talked a lot of nonsense had vanished. At this moment, his eyes were filled with a chilling coldness. Anger was about to burst Qi Feng's heart, and he could only take deep breaths and force himself to calm down.

"Third Brother, call Captain Zhao." Qi Feng's voice was hoarse but unusually steady. "Confirm the suspect's hideout. Request backup from the main force. Bring the forensic team and the trace evidence specialists."

Zhou Sanguo suddenly snapped out of his daze, his hands trembling as he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

Qi Feng turned to Da Liu: "Brother Liu, let's get to work. She took a live baby with her. A live baby needs to eat, drink, and relieve itself, so she must have taken the necessary supplies. Look for traces she left behind to deduce her whereabouts."

Da Liu took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and put on gloves.

The two quickly searched the house.

Qi Feng's cheat code can mark hidden clues, but it cannot conjure up the killer's escape route out of thin air. Clues are static, but logic is dynamic.

Qi Feng's brain was working at high speed, and his LV4 suspect profiling ability began to take effect.

Extremely self-disciplined, obsessive-compulsive disorder, mild germaphobia, antisocial personality.

The trash can under the table was empty, covered with a brand new black plastic bag.

There were only two identical dark trench coats hanging in the closet, spaced exactly apart. On the bathroom sink, there was high-purity medical alcohol and several unopened boxes of scalpel blades.

Qi Feng's gaze swept over the bedside table. The red frame lit up, and he pulled open the drawer, revealing a row of neatly arranged baby clothes. All of them were pink.

Qi Feng picked up a piece of fabric; it was soft and had no label.

"Pure cotton, hand-sewn, with extremely fine stitches," Qi Feng murmured to himself. "She was filled with a morbid longing for this impending life. The first three times she killed babies, the cuts were smoother and smoother each time; she was practicing. She froze the dead infants in the freezer, not to collect them, but because she couldn't accept flawed, failed products. She had extreme perfectionism."

Liu, listening nearby, felt a chill run down his spine: "Pervert."

"So, after she took that live baby away, she definitely wouldn't go to a place with a harsh environment." Qi Feng stood up, his eyes bright. "Live babies are fragile, and she's a perfectionist. She'll definitely find an absolutely clean, temperature-controlled, and private space to house this 'trophy'."

I don't know how much time passed.

A cacophony of sirens blared downstairs. Flashes of red and blue light pierced the room through the open glass, casting flickering shadows.

Da Liu and Qi Feng looked up, exchanged a glance, and then turned and walked outside.

Zhao Gang strode up to the fourth floor, followed by a large number of fully armed criminal police officers and forensic personnel carrying investigation kits.

"Captain Zhao." Qi Feng stepped forward, speaking rapidly, "Our brothers at Heping Bridge just reported back that the unlicensed taxi driver we caught knew nothing; he was just a cheapskate. The van suspected of being involved in the crime has been taken back to the city police station for forensic examination."

"This is confirmed to be the suspect's residence." Qi Feng stepped aside and pointed inside the house. "In the freezer in the room, we found the bodies of the three infants that were missing in the previous three cases."

Zhao Gang paused, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched violently a few times.

"Based on the furnishings inside, the suspect lives alone and has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and mild mysophobia. The area around this building is deserted and there are no civilian surveillance cameras. I have already asked the traffic police brigade to retrieve the camera footage from the two-kilometer stretch of the foreign road," Qi Feng reported.

Zhao Gang didn't say anything and stepped into the room.

Seeing the horrific scene inside the freezer, this tough guy, who had spent half his life in criminal investigation, clenched his teeth, his eyes instantly turning red. But he didn't lose control; he was the anchor of the scene.

"Sanzi!" Zhao Gang whirled around, his voice cold and hard. "Bring backup brothers and search this building and the surrounding area within a kilometer radius! See if there are any hidden cameras she installed herself!"

"Yes!" Zhou Sanguo accepted the order and ran off.

"Big Liu, bring the forensic team and dismantle this room inch by inch! Collect fingerprints, hair, and skin flakes! Don't miss any clues that point to her escape route!"

"Understood!" Da Liu turned and rushed into the house.

"Qi Feng, come out with me." Zhao Gang said this and turned to go downstairs.

Outside the building, the night wind howled.

Zhao Gang leaned against the police car door, took out a cigarette, and lit it. The flame flickered in the darkness. He took a deep drag and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

"Tell me, what are your thoughts?" Zhao Gang stared at the dark night sky.

"Time is of the essence." Qi Feng straightened up and calmly analyzed, "First, check the phone number that the unlicensed taxi driver received. It's most likely unregistered, but we must check the cell tower location to determine her physical location when she made the call. Second, based on the batch numbers and brands of the household items in the house, combined with her obsessive-compulsive disorder, check the surveillance footage of supermarkets and stores throughout the city that meet the criteria to pinpoint her true identity. Once her identity is revealed, her social network will be established."

Zhao Gang frowned deeply, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and said, "Time waits for no one."

He flicked his cigarette ash, his voice revealing deep exhaustion and anxiety: "A large number of colleagues have already gone out to chase after him in all directions along the national highway, and the city has also issued a letter of assistance, asking several surrounding cities to set up checkpoints. But all indications suggest that this criminal has extremely strong counter-surveillance capabilities."

Zhao Gang turned his head and stared at Qi Feng: "If we hadn't been distracted in the hospital, we wouldn't have caught her so easily. But even so, she still had a backup plan, hiring unlicensed taxi drivers to divert attention and keep us running around like crazy."

"I'm worried she might try to escape against the grain. Catching her then won't be easy. If she manages to hide completely, that nine-month-old baby..." Zhao Gang didn't finish his sentence.

Qi Feng took a deep breath.

He looked into Zhao Gang's bloodshot eyes.

"Team Leader Zhao," Qi Feng said, his voice not loud, but it carried a ruthless, relentless edge.

"She's sick, she's a psychopath. But everyone makes mistakes and leaves traces." Qi Feng spoke each word clearly, his eyes unwavering. "The long arm of the law will eventually catch her. We will definitely bring this scum to justice!"
