“How do you know? What’s your basis? How did you conclude that there is more than one murderer? How did you know they are not doing well? How do you know the woman is his ex-girlfriend?”
“Tony was 190 centimetres tall and he weighed 85 kilograms. Do you think that a single person can carry his body?
Also the place he was dumped is very remote, no car could get into the area.
The murderers are very familiar with the terrain and they even know how to avoid crowds. Even if they met someone, no one would suspect them.
Do you think rich people would use public toilets in remote areas?
Tony was a high ranking male escort. His clients were all rich and famous. Beautiful, like Katty. Every single shot counts for him. Why would he waste time on an ordinary woman?
Well, there’s only one possibility, his ex-girlfriend. It’s either he still loved her or he got dumped by her.
As for the cutting equipment? It should belong to them. Isn’t it weird to use someone else’s equipment to dismember a person?
Furthermore, the corpse was packed into a black plastic bag.
The general public would not have this kind of plastic bag, not unless you get them from the butcher or fishmonger,” Stella explained.
“You only suspect that there are two people. Could there be more than two people?” Greg guessed.
“No, impossible. First of all, it’s hard to tell someone that you contracted that disease. Secondly, his ex-girlfriend’s social circle is far under that of the diamond members, so it’s impossible for her to get in touch with them to get involved in her plan.”
Greg suddenly paused.
“Stella, is this criminal psychology? Did you even learn this? You’re so awesome. No wonder you are so famous,” Greg praised.
“Let’s be professional.” Jasper reminded Greg.
Greg looked at Jasper and suddenly remembered he had to do something.
He turned to Stella. “The department issued a document earlier today. I haven’t read it yet.”
“The department?” Stella looked at Jasper.
“I’ll check it later. I’m so caught up with the case that I don’t have the time to read it.” Greg took out the document.
Jasper : “…”
Greg dared not to say anything else when he saw the stamp of the special military forces at the bottom the document. He looked at Jasper guiltily and handed the document to Stella.
“Go ahead with what you have to do, thank you for helping in the case, haha,” Greg laughed flatly.
“We’ll get in touch soon.” Stella took the document and put it in her bag.
“We’ll go first,” Jasper said in a deep voice. He then turned around and walked out of Greg’s office.
Greg waved at Stella.
“If you need me, just call. I’ll keep my promise. I’m only doing psychological evaluations at the military base, I still have time to help you,” Stella said.
“Thank you, Stella.”
Stella followed Jasper out of the center. As she got into his car, he asked, “What did you promise Greg?”
Stella took a deep breath and confessed, “Three years ago, Greg pulled strings to get me into a renowned university in the United States to study psychology. He even sponsored my tuition fees. So I promised to work for him after I come back.
Greg is kind. He didn’t ask me to work for him. But I shouldn’t forget what he did for me. So we came to a consensus, I’ll work 24 cases for him.
Greg is so well-known that many police officers would ask him for help.
In fact, psychology research is divided into many categories. Criminal psychology is one of them. I learned it when I was abroad, so I can help him.”
“He should have recruited such an expert in the first place,” Jasper suggested.
“Well, most of the experts in this field work under the police. As more people are paying attention to mental illnesses, the other sectors of psychology have risen. Anyway, if the police asked Greg for help, that means they could not handle the case with their current resources.
Therefore, Greg, as the director of the research center, needs experts in this field,” Stella explained.
Jasper paused for a moment. “What are you going to do after the 24 cases?”
“Open a psychology clinic and see one or two patients a day. It should be enough to live a comfortable life. My consultation fees are very high,” Stella said.
Jasper was surprised. “Wouldn’t you two be competitors then? Did he agree to this?”
Stella smiled. “His target clients are corporations and the general public. His research center receives a lot of subsidies from the government. That’s why he can’t turn the police down when they need him.
“It’s different in my case. Those who come and see me will either be rich or from the upper-class. The general public will not be able to afford me.
Therefore there would not be any competition between us. Of course, he can refer his patients to me. I won’t turn him down if he needs my help.”
“Will you get business? If you don’t get any, I can hire you through the military,” Jasper offered.
“Nah, I don’t like being tied down. I want to be free. It’s good to be free. I can do whatever I want.”
Jasper looked at her. “You can do whatever you like. It’s okay if you quit. I’ll take care of you.”
Stella smiled.
A woman had to be financially independent, she couldn’t just rely a hundred percent on her husband.
Her husband might feel suffocated if she did so and she would not be happy too. She would feel ignored for the smallest reasons. When the relationship got too tense, it would break.
If she had her own career, she wouldn’t lose everything at once even if she got divorced.
They arrived at the military base. The soldiers brought them Wagyu steaks, barbecued ribs, omelettes, and pumpkin soup.
“Is it okay if I send someone over at about 3 o’clock to help you with your case?” Jasper asked.
“Yea, that’s fine,” Stella answered.
“You need to know more about the military. I’ll pass you the information later.”
Stella nodded.
Lieutenant Shine came over, looking nervous.
Jasper looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lieutenant Shine lowered his head. “Chief, I have something important to report.”
Jasper walked up to him.
Stella didn’t want to listen to their military affairs, so she just kept her head down and focused on her food.
After listening to Lieutenant Shine’s report, Jasper’s eyes were full of shock. His hands were shaking.
He turned around to look at Stella, trying to look as calm as possible. “Stella, I have something to do, I have to go out for awhile.”
