Chapter 5
Chapter 5
I decided to start by throwing out some bait.
I registered an account under the name “Profiler” on several popular social media platforms.
Then, I started churning out a mess of random analyses, writing them to be as provocative as possible.
[This is a serial murder case, not a sexual assault case. The killer simply staged a sexual assault in every instance. Furthermore, without exception, he used tools, which indicates a high probability that he suffers from sexual dysfunction.]
[The killer appears decisive and confident in his crimes, but the fact that he targets weak women proves his incompetence and low self-esteem.]
[In his daily life, he is filled with rage because he cannot attract the attention of the opposite sex.]
[Murder provides him with a thrill of control, making him feel like a powerful man.]
[Unfortunately, it is all an illusion.]
[According to my deductions, he is likely thin and short, with a pale, ugly, and sickly complexion.]
[Records of him visiting a urology department should be available at a hospital. I suggest the police investigate in this direction.]
[He is most likely a eunuch who can never be cured.]
[…]
I was talking nonsense, and most of it was likely inaccurate, but it would definitely provoke him.
I even bought traffic for my posts and registered a bunch of alt accounts to keep the threads active, making sure they wouldn’t get buried.
As it turned out, when I checked back, one of the posts had gone viral…
Traffic was flooding in.
ID Town Conan: [Whoa, the OP is right. Eunuchs are the scariest when they turn into perverts.]
ID Urologist: [I’m starting to flip through patient files overnight, fam. I wonder if I’ll be the one to catch him?]
ID Little Oriole: [Is it possible he’s bald? I feel like if his kidneys are weak, his hair loss must be pretty severe.]
ID Big Orange Matters: [Shocking! Serial killer turns out to be an impotent, middle-aged bald guy.]
[…]
As I watched them post comment after comment, one ID caught my attention.
ID Good Person Peaceful Life: [How can the OP call themselves a Profiler with this level of skill?]
ID Good Person Peaceful Life: [No matter how much you all belittle and smear him, he is an indisputable criminal genius.]
I was stunned.
Did he lose his cool this quickly?
But after thinking about it, I understood.
After all, he had just pulled off that “big event” and was currently basking in the intense afterglow.
To have such a transcendent moment interrupted would naturally make him unhappy.
However, I still needed to confirm it.
