Chapter 5.2
“Professor Bo, do you think the murderer is a man or a woman?” Fang Qing suddenly asked.
Everyone became astonished. Even Jian Yao looked up. Was it a woman? She had never thought of this possibility.
However, Bo Jinyan gazed at Fang Qing and revealed a smile, “Oh, that’s a good question. Is ‘he’ a male or a female? As of now, in this case, there has been nothing that has distinguished him to be either a male or female. However, I think he is a medium built man or a female with sufficient strength.”

When the meeting ended, Bo Jinyan left with Jian Yao. The only people left were Fang Qing and a few of his colleagues, and they began to ponder Bo Jinyan’s speculations in the office.
“Leader,” someone asked, “should we find the suspect based on what this professor has profiled?”
Fang Qing smoked his cigarette and said, “Going uphill is never easy. The boss wants us to crack the case in a week. Right now, twenty-four hours have already passed. We have to urge the Forensics Identification Bureau to give us the murder weapon and the analysis of the traces from the crime scene as soon as possible. As we continue to find the murder weapon, and monitor the scene, we cannot relax. Then, we should go off on what Professor Bo told us, and go through the people we have investigated before again.”
“Leader, we have never completely depended on criminal psychology to crack a case. What if … we can’t find the suspect based on what he has told us?”
Fang Qing laughed and said, “Can’t find him? Then we’ll just take it as him farting in our face.”
