Hearing Shen Qiang's words, Xiu Ju's beautiful eyes widened in shock as she exclaimed, "What have you discovered?"

Shen Qiang smiled, handing back the laptop to Xiu Ju, and said, "Our thoughts were initially confined to the aspect of dance because the victim was a dance academy girl and she was dancing at the time of her death. So, we instinctively directed our focus towards dancers."

Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing said, "You had also considered people from the music and film industry before."

Shen Qiang spoke calmly, "Yes, because those were her interests, so it's certain that she had idols in these two areas. But in fact, we were wrong, just like that guy said, we were 'blind with our eyes wide open.'"

Both Xiu Ju and Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing were taken aback.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang made a phone call, smiling as he said, "Sometimes, intuition is correct, while logical thinking can be unreliable."

The phone connected, and Qian Shanxue's voice sounded somewhat low.

"What's up?"

Shen Qiang, on the phone, said very calmly, "Actually, we had already noticed the murderer before, but I ignored him after becoming the coroner."

"I don't understand; can you be more straightforward?"

Shen Qiang said, "Do you remember the first sentence I said when I arrived at the crime scene? The female corpse is very beautiful, a work of art that can be described as perfect."

"I think you sound like a maniac!" Qian Shanxue sounded quite displeased.

Shen Qiang said, "Intuition is often the truth. Just like when you glare at a child unhappily, you don't have to say anything, and the child understands what you mean. But adults tend to complicate things. We were just focusing on the victim's identity as a student from the dance academy and her dancing at the time of her death, and our rational thinking told us that the murderer was very likely someone with significant achievements in the dance world."

"And this girl's disappearance was related to a model audition, so our subconscious tells us that this person could be a film star or a big name in the entertainment industry."

"But actually, no."

Looking very certain at the photo of the stunningly beautiful female corpse on Xiu Ju's computer, Shen Qiang said, "He's an artist with great accomplishments in sculpture, painting, photography, talented in discovering beauty, highly charismatic, good-looking, aware of the situation in University City, and someone who is greatly trusted by those girls—not someone they idolize."

Upon hearing this, Qian Shanxue fell silent for a whole five seconds before saying, "Are you sure?"

Sitting in his car, Shen Qiang lifted his eyebrow calmly and said, "Yes, I am very sure. Not only that, but I also have a guess that this person might not necessarily be as tall as 190 cm, because when that girl died, she wasn't looking at a man but at the camera lens."

Qian Shanxue was puzzled, "What do you mean? I don't understand."

Shen Qiang laughed, "That Demon hypnotized the girl, making her brain believe that she was dancing with her idolized star, which explains why despite the lack of sexual activity, the girl showed signs of having had an orgasm, because it was almost a perfect wet dream."

"So the person the girl truly idolized was not the one who killed her and turned her into a sculpture, but the lover of her dreams."

Qian Shanxue's eyes lit up, "You mean to say, this person is at the art academy?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "He might be in the art academy, but he should have his own photo studio, or a photography studio, with unique photography skills in University City, so those dance academy girls especially trust him."

"Because his hypnosis can make those girls reveal the sweetest and purest smiles, then he can take photos that no other studios can, trust me. Look up the best photo studios in University City, the most famous photographers, and you will find him."

He hung up the phone.

Xiu Ju looked at Shen Qiang with sparkling eyes, surprised, "Shen Qiang, what do you have in that brain of yours? How could you possibly guess who he is!"

"It's a matter of perspective," Shen Qiang said calmly, raising an eyebrow. "If we consider that girl as just an ordinary victim, we could never think of that person's real identity, but if we treat the female corpse as a work of art, then it's as easy as flipping over a hand."

"So perspective decides discovery?" Beautiful Demon Fox smiled, "Suddenly, I feel it's like cooking, where chili peppers can bring pain, but when used well, can turn into deliciousness."

"Yes," Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and then spoke seriously, "But a guess is still a guess, whether it's correct or not depends if we can catch him."

At that moment, after a quick internet search, Xiu Ju turned her head sharply, looking at Shen Qiang in astonishment, "This is the most famous portrait photographer in University City."

Shen Qiang turned his head and immediately saw a foreign man with blue eyes and a handsome, bearded face, who looked to be about thirty years old.

"Wow, impressive, he looks like a foreign demon."

...

Fifteen minutes later.

University City's commercial street.

The car was parked in an alley next to the commercial street.

Sitting in the car, Shen Qiang calmly watched the portrait photography center across the way, hanging a huge sign.

Next to the second-floor floor-to-ceiling windows, the man with the handsome beard and blue eyes, wearing a white shirt with the collar open, sporting a fashionably narrow tie, with crisply ironed trousers, tall and straight, standing in front of the window drinking coffee, looked really handsome and charming.

"It's him," almost the moment she saw the man, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing instantly confirmed, "He is a demon."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Xiu Ju said.

At that point, Shen Qiang spoke up with a smile, "We're waiting for Qian Shanxue."

Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing expressed her surprise, "You intend to use Qian Shanxue's hand to eliminate him?"

Shen Qiang spoke calmly, "This is just about repaying a favor to Qian Shanxue. Lately, we've been causing quite a stir in Provincial City, being too high-profile will surely lead to suppression from all sides. So, before we become a true behemoth, I hope to stabilize the current situation and avoid any major trouble in the short term because we need time for Nourishing Life."

Xiu Ju nodded, "Hmm, that makes sense. Even if you are from Dragon Group, being too ostentatious in private would also make them displeased."

After a moment of silence, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing said, "Why don't you call her? We don't need to wait here."

Shen Qiang said, "I've already shared my thoughts with her before. If I were to deliver the person to her directly, it would not be repaying a favor, but mockery. So, be patient."

The Beautiful Demon Fox was silent.

And almost at the same time, Xiu Ju exclaimed in surprise, then turned to Shen Qiang, "Quick, look at those two people, it's our little white cat and big black dog, they've actually found this place!"
