"If you absolutely must go out, it's best to have someone accompany you, and avoid going to remote or deserted places..."

The message was then played twice more.

Chen Anxia had already woken up the first time she heard the message, and her face showed interest in it.

Watson also woke up, and after seeing the interested look on Chen Anxia's face, he said directly, "I heard that this serial killer is a middle-aged man with silver hair of Japanese descent who carries a gun and is very dangerous."

"His victims were all young women. I don't understand his motives yet, but I feel that he may have psychological issues related to women."

"In addition, his activities are mostly after midnight, so women, especially young women, rarely go out during this time after nightfall."

After hearing Hua Sheng's description, Chen Anxia converted all of it into data and, combined with his knowledge of criminal profiling, began to construct a character model of this serial killer in his mind.

However, due to the limited amount of known data, Chen Anxia only constructed a basic model of the character.

As Watson said, the reason why this serial killer targeted young women must be because he had some kind of psychological disorder.

Of course, there are many psychological problems related to women, such as abuse or humiliation by mothers or female relatives during childhood, or bullying by female teachers or students at school.

However, among the psychological problems associated with young women, the most numerous are related to emotions.

For example, being rejected in love, or being betrayed by a partner.

The current serial killer is a middle-aged man with silver hair, and should theoretically be married, and his wife should also be a middle-aged woman.

If it is a partner's betrayal, then his murder target should not be a young woman, but a more specific group, such as married women.

As for being rejected, that's unlikely.

Because the prisoner is a middle-aged man who has experienced the harsh realities of society, he would not easily pursue a young woman's affections unless he is absolutely certain of success.

If the prisoner is absolutely certain, then his courtship will not be rejected.

This means that the psychological problems of prisoners are probably not closely related to their emotions.

Thinking it over, Chen Anxia murmured to herself, 'Then, the prisoner's psychological issues are very likely related to verbal or even physical humiliation he suffered at the hands of young women in the workplace or in his daily life.'

'What level of humiliation must have driven him to commit such a heinous crime of serial killings?'

The most likely scenario is a humiliation that strikes at the very soul and dignity of the person in question.

This humiliation could very well have been the final straw, causing the prisoner's long-suppressed negative emotions to erupt instantly.

"Based on all these factors, the prisoner is very likely a complete failure, whether in the workplace, in life, or in relationships."

'The most fitting character model for this persona would be an ordinary middle-aged man who is neither good-looking nor fit, poor, and struggling financially.'

As Chen Anxia thought about it, a rough character model of a serial killer was formed in his mind.

The figure is a middle-aged man with silver hair whose face is obscured.

It also has many labels attached to it, such as poor physique, bad life, etc.

However, this is just a rough character model, without specific facial features.

However, if Chen Anxia were to actually see such a silver-haired middle-aged man, even without knowing his appearance, he would be able to recognize him at a glance based on the general outline of his figure.

Of course, Chen Anxia did not actually believe that there would be a silver-haired middle-aged person in reality who perfectly matched the character model he had created.

Because there is too little known data, Chen Anxia is also unable to determine whether the character model he has constructed is accurate.

Chen Anxia had no intention of arresting this serial killer who was active in New York at midnight.

After all, the firearms carried by this serial killer were enough to pose a deadly threat to Chen Anxia.

Chen Anxia constructed character models as a form of entertainment and also as a test of his detective skills.

Chen Anxia planned to wait until the New York police arrested the serial killer before comparing the information released by the police with the character model he had created to see if they matched.

If they agree, then there's nothing more to say.

If there are inconsistencies, where are they? Where did you go wrong when you were building the character model?

These are all questions that Chen Anxia will consider and study at that time.

Chen Anxia enjoys the sense of accomplishment from solving these problems and the joy of acquiring new knowledge.

Hua Sheng was naturally unaware of Chen Anxia's inner thoughts, and even less aware that Chen Anxia had constructed a rough character model of a serial killer in his mind based on just a few words from him.

Soon, Chen Anxia and Hua Sheng arrived at the magazine's shooting location.

Quite by chance, the magazine photoshoot took place near Broadway in New York.

Meanwhile, Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri also arrived in New York and got into Yukiko Kudo's car, which was already waiting at the airport.

Shortly after getting on the bus, Ran Mouri, exhausted from the long journey, quickly fell into a deep sleep in the back seat.

As for Shinichi Kudo, he was yawning in the passenger seat.

Seeing this, Yukiko Kudo said, "Shinichi, why don't you take a nap first? I'll wake you up when we get there."

Upon hearing this, Shinichi Kudo yawned again and said, "No, I promised Ran that I would wake her up when we reach the Brooklyn Bridge so she can enjoy the Manhattan skyline at night."

Upon hearing this, Yukiko Kudo smiled slightly, then said with a somewhat ambiguous expression, "Shinichi, tell me honestly, has your relationship with Ran progressed after this trip?"

"You know, your dad and I are really looking forward to hearing good news about you and Xiaolan."

Upon hearing this, Shinichi Kudo first showed a look of embarrassment, then, as if he had thought of something, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's all that guy's fault!"

"That guy?" Yukiko Kudo asked with some curiosity.

Shinichi Kudo didn't think much of it and replied directly, "It's Chen Anxia. I met him on the plane to Los Angeles this time."

"This guy not only stole my thunder, but also stole Xiaolan's attention. Damn it..."

As they were talking, Shinichi Kudo suddenly caught a glimpse of a silver-haired middle-aged man turning into the alley from the roadside.

At this moment, Shinichi Kudo hadn't thought much of it, nor did he know that this silver-haired middle-aged man would...

new York.

Night had fallen, and Chen Anxia's magazine photoshoot had finally come to an end.

After finishing the magazine photoshoot, Chen Anxia looked at Hua Sheng with some fatigue and asked, "Hua Sheng, before we go back to the hotel, let's go get something to eat. I'm a little hungry."

As she spoke, Chen Anxia looked towards the roadside and continued, "Wait a minute, I'll take a taxi and ask the driver if there's any good food nearby."

Upon hearing this, Hua Sheng immediately said, "I happen to know a good restaurant nearby. Let me take you there."

Chen Anxia didn't think much of it, nodded slightly, and followed Hua Sheng to a nearby restaurant.

Hua Sheng took Chen Anxia to a Chinese restaurant, and the second floor of this restaurant had a view of the Broadway PHANTOM theater across the street.

Chen Anxia happened to be sitting in a seat opposite the window, and had a direct view of the PHANTOM theater.

Although Chen Anxia doesn't pay much attention to Broadway or musicals, she does know about the PHANTOM theater.

The reason for this is that today, taxis running through the streets of New York all have advertisements for the PHANTOM theater.

Chen Anxia remembered the content of the advertisement and knew that there would be a performance of the currently popular musical Golden Apple at the PHANTOM Theater at 8 pm tonight.

Hua Sheng was sitting next to Chen Anxia and naturally noticed Chen Anxia's gaze.

However, Watson didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at his watch and thought to himself, 'We should be there soon...'

In fact, Watson had no idea about this Chinese restaurant. It was the ticket seller who told Watson about it, and it was also the place where they had agreed to make their deal.

Even this seat was reserved for Watson by that player.

Before long, a young man with yellow skin, short black hair, and an honest-looking face came up.

After going up to the second floor, the boy walked directly toward the table where Chen Anxia and Hua Sheng were sitting.

As we walked, the boy greeted us with a warm smile and called out familiarly, "Hey, Watson!"

Upon hearing the call, Watson turned to look.

In just one glance, Watson saw the boy walking towards him.

Because they had exchanged photos through a mind network before, they knew what each other looked like and acted like longtime friends.

In Chen Anxia's deep gaze, he saw Hua Sheng also reveal a warm smile on his face, and he stood up to greet him, "Hey, Li Lianhua, you've finally arrived."

Upon seeing this, Li Lianhua immediately stepped forward and hugged Hua Sheng. Then, she took out two high-end-looking tickets from her bosom and handed them to Hua Sheng, saying, "Here, these are what you need."

Without hesitation, Watson took the ticket.

After verifying the authenticity of the ticket, Hua Sheng took out the rice gold he had prepared beforehand from his pocket and handed it to Li Lianhua.

After receiving the rice and confirming its authenticity and the amount, Li Lianhua's honest smile deepened.

After putting away the rice and gold, Li Lianhua said to Hua Sheng, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

With that, Li Lianhua turned and left.

Throughout the entire process, Li Lianhua did not glance at Chen Anxia once, as if Chen Anxia did not exist.

After Li Lianhua left, Hua Sheng waved the tickets at Chen Anxia and said, "That was my friend. I got two VIP tickets to Golden Apple through his connections."

"Your schedule has been so packed lately, you haven't had any time to relax or rest."

"Tonight, let's put aside work, detective work, and everything else, and enjoy a Broadway musical to relax and unwind."

"I believe that the recently highly praised Golden Apple will not disappoint us!"

After hearing Hua Sheng's words, Chen Anxia did not continue the conversation but suddenly asked, "That boy named Li Lianhua just now, wasn't he your friend?"

Hua Sheng was taken aback upon hearing this, seemingly not understanding Chen Anxia's words.

Chen Anxia didn't wait for Hua Sheng's reply and proceeded to reason on her own, "First of all, your way of addressing Li Lianhua."

“If you were really friends, you wouldn’t call him by his full name, but would just call him by his first name.”

"Secondly, when you first saw Li Lianhua, although it was brief, you did have a blank reaction."

"This blank reaction means that this is probably your first time meeting Li Lianhua."

"Before that, you must have known what the other person looked like through other channels. I guess it was through exchanging photos online."

"Because there are differences between photos and real people, you will have a blank reaction when you first see Li Lianhua due to the incomplete matching of information."

As she spoke, Chen Anxia paused slightly, glanced at Hua Sheng's stunned expression, and continued, "Finally, there's Li Lianhua's reaction during your transaction."
