My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 1038: Trick the Killer

Director Hou and Director Liu dared not conceal anything any longer and provided a general overview of all the death cases that occurred at Longxing Mountain.

Since Ye Fan wanted to get involved, they couldn’t keep it a secret, so they decided to come clean.

Soon enough, the materials from the previous death cases were sent to Ye Fan.

Eight years ago, the first victim discovered was a female employee from the tourism side. By the time she was found, she was just a skeleton. From the marks on the bones, it was determined that the first victim had been held captive before her death. This suggested that her disappearance should be traced back to more than a year earlier if it was the killer’s first time committing the crime over nine years ago.

The disappearance of the female employee was an unsolved case at the time, with no clues pointing to the whereabouts or identity of the killer.

Until the second victim disappeared, also a female employee from the tourism side, the incident occurred before the discovery of the first victim’s skeleton.

Next came the third victim, the fourth... until the current sixth victim.

Ye Fan carefully read through the materials of the six victims, and he already reached a conclusion in his mind.

Including the recently deceased Wang Siqi, who suffered the same as previous victims, including signs of being bound.

"After synthesizing all the materials, there is no fixed time for the killer’s crimes; they seemed to be planned and purposeful transient acts. Initially targeting female employees on the tourism side, then tourists. The common points are as follows: First, all victims were women, young and attractive; second, both the discovered bodies and skeletons showed through bone examination that they had been bound and tortured; third, the places where the victims were found were remote and rarely visited, which delayed discovery—of course, the sixth victim is an exception. From the current circumstances, it appears the sixth victim managed to escape and had a struggle with the killer. She was shot dead by the killer during her flight, and due to time constraints, the body wasn’t disposed of. This is why tourists found the body so quickly."

Ye Fan’s mind was racing, and he concluded confidently, "Therefore, I can be certain. The killer is very familiar with Longxing Mountain. Based on the timing of the crimes, the killer cannot be an outsider and must be a male staff member on the tourism side. From the victim’s injuries and signs of abuse, the killer imprisoned the victims for his own gratification, killing and discarding the bodies once he lost interest."

Ye Fan pointed the finger directly at a male employee from the tourism side after thorough analysis.

Only with such circumstances can the crime be committed. Outsiders cannot freely enter and exit Longxing Mountain and commit crimes silently; just moving the bodies to Longxing Mountain is unrealistic and impossible.

"Mr. Ye, we have also investigated in this direction as per your analysis but came up empty-handed. We couldn’t identify any suspect after screening everyone, and in the end, it was left unsolved." Director Hou responded dejectedly, "The killer didn’t leave fingerprints or any information to identify them, practically leaving us with nothing to follow up on."

"Is it impossible to extract the killer’s DNA from the sixth victim?" Ye Fan inquired.

"The sixth victim was abused, but the lower body was destroyed, making DNA extraction impossible. Obviously, the killer employed sophisticated methods, demonstrating strong psychological resilience and extensive counter-investigation skills, leaving no useful fingerprints to trace back. We previously screened all tourism staff but found nothing suspicious." Director Hou lamented helplessly.

"You’re wrong. The fingerprints of the killer were found on the sixth victim’s body." Ye Fan said with interest.

"Fingerprints discovered? No, no fingerprints were found." Director Hou was confused, not understanding why Ye Fan would claim something out of nowhere.

"The killer is hiding in the mountain forest and has a hidden location." Ye Fan glanced towards the forest and said calmly, "Find a chance to announce that a fingerprint was found on the victim’s body and request all tourism staff to match it. Let this message slip from some employee’s mouth."

"Mr. Ye, are you attempting to trick the killer? If they are among the employees, they will surely flee upon learning they left a fingerprint, allowing us to identify the killer. This is what being guilty and scared means." Director Hou’s eyes lit with joy, utterly impressed with Ye Fan’s strategy.

Director Liu doubted, "What if the killer is smart enough to see through our intentions? Wouldn’t we have done it all for nothing?"

"It wouldn’t be in vain. If the killer is indeed so confident, I’ll personally pull him out from among the staff." Ye Fan spoke with unwavering confidence and then analyzed assuredly, "The fact that the killer didn’t discard the sixth victim’s corpse in a remote area only shows that there was no time. They hastily covered it with leaves, and it was discovered by tourists by accident. This caught the killer off guard, and they know that too many flaws were left on the sixth victim compared to the perfectly handled previous five victims. Hence, the killer wouldn’t feel confident standing out to cooperate with us for fingerprint collection. This imperfection would cause doubt in the killer’s mind."

"No matter how smart or psychologically strong the killer is, they have to reconsider whether a carelessly handled corpse really left some clue. As the saying goes, ’a cunning person can be trapped by their cunning,’ and as long as we spread fake news about fingerprint collection, the killer will likely panic. Once they suspect they slipped up, that seed of doubt will quickly germinate, leading them to flee as predictable behavior."

Ye Fan methodically analyzed.

"Mr. Ye, your reasoning is impressive and convincing." Director Hou sincerely admired.

"Although I’m not entirely sure what the killer will do, Mr. Ye’s words make a lot of sense and are fascinating to listen to." Director Liu, the outsider, spoke with reverence.

Yang Shu wasn’t experienced in capturing killers but couldn’t help but admire Ye Fan’s analysis.

"To prevent the killer from escaping upon learning the situation, infiltrate the forest immediately. If anything seems off, make the arrest. This mountain is vast, and even the slightest doubt or lack of confidence will make the killer choose to flee. This mountain will be his hideout, believing no one will find him, which is his leverage." Ye Fan looked deep into the woods.
