[Before Liu Zhou was caught, there was a case.]

[He posted fake job advertisements to recruit female secretaries.]

[After luring victims to his home, he would use violence to forcibly imprison them, making them his playthings.]

[If victims resisted strongly or kept trying to escape after being imprisoned, Liu Zhou would kill them.]

After listening, I'm Actually a Girl said: [The women who got tricked into going there were really quite foolish.]

Fairy Sister: [On one hand, the women who were deceived were indeed quite naive with poor awareness of danger, but also Liu Zhou himself put considerable effort into his appearance and presentation.]

[Look at him today when he approached Liu Xiaoyu - his hairstyle, physique, and the clothes he wore, didn't he look like a wealthy middle-aged man? Who would have thought someone so well-dressed could be such a beast?]

[And today he even had business cards prepared. The only thing he didn't prepare was checking online searches - there's no information about him in any encyclopedia.]

I'm Actually a Girl: [So it seems Liu Zhou's new target is Liu Xiaoyu?]

Fairy Sister: [Yes, Liu Xiaoyu perfectly matches his target profile, since she's quite beautiful.]

[Now it all depends on whether Liu Xiaoyu herself can escape this calamity.]

The live stream footage followed Liu Zhou carrying Little Kitten back to his own home.

After returning home, Liu Zhou went straight to the corner of his open-concept kitchen.

In the corner stood a small white freezer.

Opening the small freezer, it appeared completely empty inside. Additionally, this particular freezer had only freezer compartment space without any refrigeration section.

Staring at the chill-emitting small freezer, Liu Zhou's face revealed a bright yet eerie smile.

Although animals like cats and dogs have fur,

They still feel cold or heat sensitivity.

Especially this one, just a two-month-old kitten.

After being placed inside, on the bottom, assaulted by the freezer's cold air, it kept meowing pitifully.

Meanwhile, it lifted its head, its two black eyes fixed on Liu Zhou outside the freezer.

The little kitten climbed to the edge inside the freezer, its two paws constantly scratching at the sides.

It seemed unable to endure the cold and wanted to climb out.

But unfortunately, it was too small, and the freezer too deep.

As if realizing it couldn't climb out,

The little kitten cried out loudly toward Liu Zhou outside for help.

But the little kitten didn't know that this Liu Zhou was a demon.

The kitten's cries were pitiful, miserable, and full of suffering.

These sounds would evoke compassion in any normal person who heard them.

But falling into Liu Zhou's ears, they only nourished the demonic smile on his face, stretching his mouth increasingly grotesquely.

I'm Actually a Girl seeing this said: [Damn, this bastard abuses cats? Disgusting piece of shit! Scared me into hugging my own Xiao Mi tightly!]

At this moment, Middle-aged Uncle emerged: [Animal abuse is quite normal here. Every one of these people living in this apartment has twisted, perverted psychology. Actually, many abuse cats and dogs.]

[I remember, long ago, seeing research from a foreign university professor's study.]

[His research topic was studying the common characteristics among deranged criminals and deranged serial killers worldwide.]

[One aspect mentioned several common traits these people had during childhood. Do you want to know?]

I'm Actually a Girl: [Of course I want to know! Uncle!]

Middle-aged Uncle sent a disgusted emoji: [Don't call me uncle! I still think you're a man. The thought of a man, some stinky-footed dude, acting cute and calling me uncle makes me sick!]

I'm Actually a Girl: [So upset... want to cry...]

Middle-aged Uncle: [That meme is years old already. Okay, I'll tell you.]

[Several common points from their childhoods.]

[These points, using professional terminology, are called:]

[The Classic Triad.]

[First element: Animal cruelty]

[Second element: Malicious arson]

[Third element: Bedwetting beyond appropriate age]

I'm Actually a Girl after listening: [I can understand the first one - animal abuse behavior itself is quite deranged, and later switching the abuse target to humans is highly possible.]

[The second and third, I don't really understand though.]

[Malicious arson? I quite liked playing with fire when I was little too, enjoyed setting fires.]

[Why is bedwetting beyond age one of the triad? Doesn't seem very related?]

Middle-aged Uncle explained: [I also liked playing with fire as a child, but our kind of fire play was purely childhood curiosity, finding it interesting. But those people's childhood fire play had different motivations - they were malicious arsonists, remember malicious! Malice with some clear purpose!]

[The last one about bedwetting beyond age actually refers to childhood trauma.]

[Many deranged criminals and deranged serial killers suffered various childhood traumas when young, possibly from parents, other relatives, neighbors, etc. These factors caused the bedwetting beyond appropriate age.]

I'm Actually a Girl: [Understood...]

Domineering Female CEO interjected at this point: [Middle-aged Uncle, I've also seen this Classic Triad theory. It was proposed by foreign psychiatrist J.M. MacDonald.]

[But this Classic Triad can only be treated as gossip - it has never been recognized by mainstream psychology.] This update is available on NoveIꜰire.net

Middle-aged Uncle sounded exasperated: [You, you really enjoy undermining me...]

...

2:00 PM.

Jiang Ran received his two packages.

One package contained his newly purchased phone.

The other contained his newly purchased computer.

The phone wasn't a fruit brand phone but one from the Android camp.

As for the computer, it was a gaming notebook.

Just over ten thousand.

The previous payment received from You Sha Qi Comics.

350,000 yuan.

At Wang Qingzhao's place, repaying 50,000, requesting medicine purchase 50,000.

That day's expenses over 10,000.

Altogether over 110,000 spent.

Over 110,000 gone in one day.

Then remaining, 240,000, actually slightly less than 240,000.

Even counting 240,000, from this remaining 240,000, Jiang Ran planned to keep a portion for his own dissociative identity disorder treatment.

Like changing phones, changing computers.

He didn't plan to just keep the money sitting there unused.

The most important thing in life is to treat yourself well.

Phone and computer, transferring original data, etc., took about two hours to complete.

After finishing, it was already 4:00 PM.

The entire day had been very calm, with no residents requesting door-to-door assistance.

Except for being pestered by Kim Yoon-ah in the morning, everything else was normal afterward.

Jiang Ran now opened his newly purchased ten-thousand-yuan-plus laptop, planning to find a movie to watch.

Watch until five or six, then order takeout for dinner.

Honestly, new computers are so smooth - everything opens instantly.

Having money really is better.

Jiang Ran had just found a recently popular suspense film when suddenly an uninvited guest appeared on his phone.
