Regarding the Xu Baping case, that person also shared his views, though he focused mainly on analyzing Xu Baping’s criminal psychology. He concluded that as an only son who suffered both psychological and physical trauma, Xu’s perversion stemmed from two factors. As for Xu Baping’s methods of committing crimes, he only made one brief comment: “crude and simple, just lucky.” He didn’t elaborate further.

Xu Mengshan licked his lips. “Could it be him?”

Yin Feng said, “Let’s look at another one.”

The owner of the third IP address was particularly interesting. He changed his username periodically, sometimes using alternate accounts, so while some of his posts gained significant attention, others went completely unnoticed. Thanks to Champion, however, all these dozens of usernames were now laid out on a single sheet of paper.

Among them was even a username called “Xu Baping’s Ancestral Master,” which immediately caught the attention of all three of them.

Looking at this person’s posting history, while he had commented on various serial killer cases, he was most vocal about the Xu Baping case. His alternate accounts could be found in nearly every discussion thread related to this case.

In one reply, he wrote: “Xu Baping’s marking behavior is fascinating. Cutting off women’s nipples represents stripping them of their feminine characteristics; severely damaging their sexual organs represents both hatred and love toward women. Despite his humble origins and lack of criminal psychology education, what he aimed to express was quite profound.”

In another reply, he stated: “Xu Baping’s methods would be considered amateur by today’s standards.”

He also commented: “What a waste. His concept was excellent, but he lacked even the basic qualities of a killer. This case could have become an unsolvable mystery like the Nanda Dismemberment case or the Chongqing Red-Clothed Boy case—if unsolved initially, it would have remained unsolved forever.”

These comments drew mixed reactions from other users—some criticized him, some sought his expertise, and others expressed admiration.

The three investigators’ expressions grew increasingly serious as they read.

“Look at this!” Xu Mengshan pointed to one particular post.

You Mingxu focused on where the person had written: “…My grandmother lived in the same community as Xu Baping. When I visited her as a child, I often saw him. Once, I even saw him following a woman while carrying a bag. Unfortunately, my grandmother took me away then. Later, I learned he was going to kill someone. Too bad I didn’t witness it firsthand and could only imagine it through news reports. However, my grandmother knew him and told me many things about him.”

This detail matched another profile condition that Yin Feng had established!

Upon reading this, Yin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. Xu Mengshan couldn’t help but pat him, exclaiming, “Damn! Could it be this person? He indeed had seen Xu Baping and nearly witnessed him in action! Plus, he’s a crime enthusiast, and his analysis of Xu Baping matches yours perfectly!”

Yin Feng smiled faintly and said, “All roads lead to Rome.”

You Mingxu was also excited and asked, “Did Champion get this person’s address?”

Yin Feng looked at her with deepening amusement in his eyes, pointing to a handwritten line at the bottom of the last page: “Champion wrote it here. He was online at this location just yesterday.”

You Mingxu’s heart jumped. Looking at the handwriting, she was struck by its elegant calligraphy—a hundred times better than her own or Xu Mengshan’s. She was stunned—suddenly wanting to exclaim “holy crap!” herself. Was there anything in this world that Champion couldn’t learn or couldn’t do well?

“Let’s move!” You Mingxu commanded.

Xu Mengshan nodded, though somewhat hesitantly: “Is this appropriate? We’re going after someone just because they posted about the case online, without any real evidence.”

You Mingxu gave him a sidelong glance: “We’ll know when we check it out. Is the veteran’s profile sketch ready?”

Xu Mengshan perked up: “Should be soon! I’ll push them to hurry. If all these factors point to the same person, who else could it be? You’re right, let’s move first. If it’s not him, we’ll just treat it as gathering information and return.”

You Mingxu nodded, immediately assembling a team and heading downstairs.

Yin Feng followed behind her, his expression serene. You Mingxu thought for a moment and asked him privately: “How confident are you?”

Yin Feng glanced at her: “One hundred percent.”

You Mingxu felt both pleased and oddly annoyed. It seemed strange that such a complex, serious, and difficult case might be solved through his seemingly far-fetched behavioral prediction. Wouldn’t that make all their previous work seem pointless?

But Yin Feng, being incredibly perceptive, understood her thoughts from her silence. He reached out to pinch her cheek reassuringly: “Don’t be discouraged. I only have deductions, no evidence. Even if we find the person, you’ll still need to work hard to gather evidence.”

You Mingxu: “…”

Should she feel honored, honored, or just honored?
