Chapter 274: The Meaning of the Four Cards!

At the same time!

Huaxia, Yanjing, inside the Command Room of the Expert Group!

While Chu Chen was about to show off his skills in Las Vegas, the Expert Group had not given up on their investigation into him!

But due to a lack of valuable clues, they could only temporarily focus their investigation on those four Tarot Cards representing the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse"!

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the Command Room was very heavy.

Seven experts sat silently around the conference table, staring at the four Tarot Cards on the tabletop, lost in thought!

They knew clearly that the appearance of these four cards was by no means accidental; there must be some kind of metaphor within them.

After a long while, Li Changyu tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, making a rhythmic "tap-tap" sound.

Immediately after, he spoke:

"Based on his past criminal behavior, we can make a basic judgment that the appearance of these four Tarot Cards is definitely not groundless; it must be inextricably linked to his criminal activities. I think we can follow this as a clue to investigate further."

After he finished speaking, Chen Zijin, who was sitting next to him, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, examined the four cards carefully, and said:

"The meanings represented by these four Tarot Cards are all different. Based on my understanding of him, his subsequent criminal activities will definitely be based on this. Based on this point, I think our primary task now is to thoroughly figure out what he is going to do according to the meanings represented by these cards, and first clarify his criminal motive."

After Chen Zijin finished speaking, he directly picked up the remote control on the table and projected the information he had previously queried regarding the meanings represented by those four Tarot Cards onto the large screen in front of the conference table, showing it to the other experts!

"These four cards are the Lovers, the High Priestess, the Hermit, and Death, but the meanings they represent are very complex. Take the Lovers, for example; the so-called Lovers does not just refer to the relationship between a man and a woman, but also symbolizes angels, love, and relationships and choices.

If it is an upright card meaning, it is also related to happiness and a bright future, but if it is a reversed card meaning, it could be the end of a relationship, emotional problems, or even encountering danger."

"Besides this, the other three cards are the same; they all contain upright and reversed card meanings. If we interpret them so singularly, it is difficult to obtain clues that are beneficial to our solving the case..." Chen Zijin's tone was somewhat heavy.

"Yes, that is the key to the problem..." Just then, Liu Xuemin spoke up: "If we can figure these out, his criminal motive will be obvious..."

"Four cards... does that mean he will commit four crimes this time?" Before Liu Xuemin could finish, Wang Ruomei, who was sitting opposite, suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Liu Xuemin nodded: "If nothing goes wrong, it should be like this."

After the two finished speaking, Lin Xu, who had been playing with a Rubik's cube, said: "This guy is really a riddle-maker..."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Guowei, who was sitting next to him, frowned slightly, his gaze wandering repeatedly over those Tarot Cards:

"I think these cards may not have any deep connection to his crimes; what they represent is very likely a deeper psychological motive. He may be provoking us, or satisfying some twisted psychological need of his own. Judging from his past criminal behavior, he craves attention and likes to create panic. Perhaps these four cards are just a way for him to attract attention, who knows?"

"Psychological need?" Wang Ruomei asked.

"Yes, psychological need." Zhu Guowei nodded, then continued: "This type of criminal has similar behavioral patterns; there is nothing strange about this."

"According to what you say, are we over-interpreting it?" Wang Ruomei asked back.

"This possibility does indeed exist, because we currently have no relevant evidence to prove that these cards have any connection to his criminal motive..."

These words from Zhu Guowei once again caused the experts to fall into silence.

He was right.

They really had no evidence to prove this right now.

The next second, just as everyone was silent, Shui Ge, who had not spoken, suddenly broke the silence and said:

"That day, after you left, I specifically observed the marks on those four cards..."

"Judging from the situation of the on-site investigation, although these four cards were placed messily, there are still traces to follow, especially the overlapping traces of fingerprints on the edges of the cards, which have a very obvious arrangement pattern. Through these traces, it can basically be determined that he should have intentionally hidden these cards in the deck during the shuffling process. Based on this point, we can basically determine that these four cards were left by him intentionally..."
