She also recalled that during the Chen Zhaoci case, Yin Feng had said: oftentimes, victims find it hard to move on from their trauma and may turn into offenders. It startled her to contemplate— if the apprentice was indeed a victim, then he would precisely meet the requirements of the Punisher Organization.
This gave Xu Mengshan, who had spent a lot of time with Yin Feng and You Mingxu, something to ponder. He nodded and said, "I'll have someone look into it."
Yin Feng then added, "This is one possibility. Another possibility is that the apprentice might not be related to the past cases; he might just be a crime enthusiast. For some reason unknown to us, he seems particularly fixated on the Xu Baping case and desperately wants to prove that he can do it better and more perfectly. You can investigate along the first line. If you don't find anything, we will consider this direction."
