Chapter 144: Is Rose a Glitzy Star? No, She’s a Female Entrepreneur!

As the current analysis deepens, the specific personality traits of Rose have become relatively clear.

It can be said that vanity, jealousy, ruthlessness, a desire to maintain appearances, and deep-seated insecurity are all traits that Rose currently exhibits.

From the perspective of criminal psychology, Rose’s general character profile has already become quite clear. One can effectively deduce her behavior based on the personality traits she has displayed.

For example, the photos in her social media feed shown on the projector.

If this were a different criminal, they might have used photos downloaded from various platforms or the internet to maintain the illusion that their original identity was still alive, without revealing any clues.

They might even choose to completely abandon their old identity and stop updating their social media.

However, after understanding Rose’s personality, Dr. Lan Jing boldly speculated that in order to receive admiration and envy from her college classmates and the deceased’s boyfriend, Rose would never fake her photos.

In other words, every year, Rose would deliberately travel abroad, or find opportunities to take photos that show her living a good life overseas, just to post them on her social media.

At this moment, Su Ming, sitting beside Lan Jing, nodded in agreement with her previous psychological analysis. As for the final question, he organized his thoughts and lightly tapped the table, subtly implying:

“Dr. Lan, actually, I can answer that now.”

“First, based on our earlier judgment of whether Zhou Shirui wore a human skin mask, we can detect that Rose’s facial expressions in these photos have very little change, or even none at all.”

“Just from this point alone, we can roughly conclude that Rose is wearing a human skin mask while taking these photos and posting them on social media, presenting the illusion that she’s living a wonderful life.”

“Secondly, Rose, or rather, Lan Yujun, likely chose to undergo cosmetic surgery, much like Zhou Shirui, to take on a new identity.”

“However, unlike Zhou Shirui, who simply wanted a way to escape once discovered by the police, Rose probably underwent cosmetic surgery simply to become more beautiful.”

“Yes, she wanted to fix any flaws on her face, making it perfect, at least more attention-grabbing than the deceased.”

“Although I don’t know exactly what Rose looks like now, I can be certain that… she must be extremely attractive and flawless.”

“She could even be more eye-catching than the stars she might walk alongside.”

Su Ming’s words made Xu Changsheng, who had been deep in thought beside him, immediately slap his thigh in agreement, saying confidently:

“Yes!”

“With Rose’s vanity, if she had the opportunity for cosmetic surgery, she definitely wouldn’t pass up the chance to eliminate any flaws.”

“A strikingly beautiful appearance would be her first choice.”

“After all, I don’t think Rose would ever want to experience being with others but having all attention focused on someone else.”

“After killing the person she hated, was jealous of, and found disgusting, Rose would undoubtedly seek a new life, wanting not only the best appearance but also an entirely new identity.”

Xu Changsheng then furrowed his brows, thinking for a few seconds before continuing:

“Su Ming, if we think from this angle, I believe Rose’s new identity might be very similar to Poison’s.”

“She might choose a special identity that, under normal circumstances, she would never have access to, or one that was once her dream identity.”

“With the immense financial power of this large drug trafficking organization and the use of human skin masks, she could easily achieve this.”

“In our assumptions, Poison wanted to break away from her poor family and adopt the identity of a wealthy person who could spend lavishly.”

“So for Rose, I feel that there’s a very high chance she would prefer an identity where all eyes are on her, enjoying the glamorous spotlight.”

“Moreover, in the earlier analysis, Rose most likely underwent cosmetic surgery to enhance her appearance, so could it be that…”

“Rose’s new identity is that of a star?”

“In this case…”

“She would get more attention from people, and even have enough fans cheering for her, completely satisfying her vanity.”

A star?

Xu Changsheng’s hypothesis was undeniably bold, but it had to be acknowledged that it was indeed possible. If Rose wanted to satisfy her vanity, she could very well have taken on the identity of a star.

The key point was…

A star is someone who stands in the spotlight, and even when walking on the street, they attract the attention of countless people.

The feeling of having all eyes on her would definitely satisfy Rose’s inner vanity.

Upon hearing Xu Changsheng’s theory, Lin Tian squinted slightly, sniffed the tobacco on his left index finger, and shook his head in disagreement.

“Not quite.”

“I think, although Rose likes being the center of attention, being a star is still somewhat unlikely.”

“It’s not that Rose wouldn’t like the identity, but rather, it’s about whether the drug trafficking organization would allow it.”

“Because true stars, who are extremely popular in the entertainment industry, attract too much attention and gather too many scrutinizing eyes.”

“Facing netizens and haters who specialize in exposing people’s secrets, I believe the cautious leader of the drug trafficking organization wouldn’t want Rose, whose identity is so important, to risk having her dark past exposed.”

“Plus, being a star is a public figure, and engaging in high-purity drug trafficking is not as convenient as one might think.”

“Stars also need to have some talents, and I don’t think Rose has any talents that could support her becoming a star.”

“Then, if she’s not a star, what kind of identity would suit Rose…”

At this moment, while Lin Tian was stroking his chin and contemplating Rose’s exact identity, Su Ming, sitting beside him, thought of a possible answer. He tapped the table and said:

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed something.”

“The deceased’s boyfriend previously mentioned an important point, that Rose, for the sake of face and not to be embarrassed, always hid the fact that she was a mortician.”

“Now, apart from jealousy toward the deceased, could being forced to work as a mortician after graduating from university also be one of her most painful memories?”

“Since becoming a star seems unlikely, could she have chosen a glamorous and respectable career for her new identity?”

“At least, one that would allow her to easily obtain various foreign visas without raising suspicion of immigration plans?”

“Now that she can’t become a star, what about becoming a prominent female entrepreneur?”
