Chapter 590: They Do Not Possess Such Capability

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhongxin's gaze swept back and forth over the four photos several times before finally settling on Tan Mou's picture.

"If you ask me, this Tan Mou is most likely the leader."

Lu Zhongxin pointed at the photo and said:

"I've seen many Gao Zhishang crimes; they are basically committed by people like him—those with a scholarly air and a refined appearance."

"However, I always feel this person is lacking something. I can't say exactly where the deficiency lies."

By the end of his sentence, his brows knitted tightly, looking extremely confused.

Yu Dazhang also stared at Tan Mou's photo, thought for a moment, and said:

"Not ruthless enough."

"Right." Lu Zhongxin immediately agreed:

"Exactly, not ruthless enough. He looks too refined. Even if he is a smart person, that doesn't mean the others will obey him, and he doesn't seem like the type to get his hands dirty and kill."

Regardless of the type of criminal group, the leader must possess one potential: a heart of iron and stone.

Only by being cold-blooded enough can one make others submit in a short time.

Moreover, someone in this group is already dead; at present, it is highly likely that the leader personally dealt with him.

Killing Qi Jianhua while making Qi Jiandong, his own elder brother, dare not resist, is enough to prove the leader's ferocity.

So, having a brain is one aspect; the most important thing is still the ability to command respect.

"Is it possible..." Yu Dazhang hesitated as he spoke:

"That there are two leaders."

After he finished speaking, he himself felt the idea was absurd.

Including the deceased, there were only five kidnappers in total; two leaders and three workers, which seemed highly unlikely no matter how one thought about it.

The number of people was too small; with so few, having one leader was already good enough.

If the number of people were large enough, one person would not be sufficient.

The typical configuration is one leader, with a strategist assigned below him.

"Forget about two people." Lu Zhongxin shook his head:

"I've looked for so long and only see one person here who has a brain."

"Regardless, this Tan Mou attended university; the fact that he could get into university already proves his intelligence is higher than the rest of the gang."

There was another common point... Yu Dazhang's gaze swept over the photos of the five people in the case file.

All five of these people were social misfits.

To put it bluntly, they were all low-level workers.

Even Qi Jiandong, who had run a breeding business, fell into this category; the records showed that after his business failed, he also went to work in a factory.

If these five people had been farming at home from the very beginning, they would most likely not have committed kidnapping.

In fact, among kidnapping cases occurring domestically, those actually carried out by farming peasants are extremely rare.

What one should fear are those with poor family conditions who have seen the Flower-filled world outside; these are the ones most likely to suffer psychological imbalance.

"It's truly strange."

Yu Dazhang looked at the photos in the case file; the more he thought, the more something felt off, and he said to Lu Zhongxin:

"These five people don't even have a single criminal record; even the backgrounds of the two Qi brothers are completely clean."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhongxin likewise wore an expression of disbelief.

After pondering for a moment, he replied:

"Generally speaking, people who commit such a major crime will have some prior record or bad marks, yet these five people seem to have suddenly appeared out of nowhere, showing absolutely no signs of criminal activity."

Yu Dazhang nodded and continued:

"The strangest part is that they also possess formidable counter-investigation abilities and are very familiar with the police's investigative methods."

After these words, the master and apprentice both fell silent.

Because this was the most baffling aspect of this kidnapping case.

"Master, do you have a feeling..."

Yu Dazhang weighed his words, seeming unsure how to phrase it.

After a moment, he continued:

"These five people do not seem like the type to do such a thing, or rather, they do not possess the capability for it."
