    Chapter 50: The Killer is the Largest Drug Dealer in Magic City, a Psychiatric Hospital Doctor?

    Huang Yan suddenly mentioned the nickname “Dog Brother.”

    Moreover,

    In her impression…

    The person who clearly looked like a drug addict begged the so-called “Dog Brother” for a dose.

    This immediately made Su Ming and Xu Changsheng’s expressions turn serious, and they quickly thought of the “skinny dog” they had captured a few days ago!!!

    Because.

    Huang Yan had gone to this location to get the special drugs provided by the killer.

    It was clear…

    The so-called “giving a dose” was definitely not about giving him a meal, but about letting him take a hit of drugs!!!

    With the nickname “Dog Brother.”

    And the fact that addicts were begging him in such a manner, it was highly likely that he had a significant reputation in the drug circles of Magic City.

    All the clues pointed to…

    The “skinny dog” they had captured in the case where they accidentally discovered three A-level fugitives a few days ago!!!

    After all.

    Considering that Skinny Dog dared to do such large-scale drug transactions with unfamiliar people, risking the chance of getting arrested, in the drug circles of Magic City…

    Skinny Dog could definitely be considered a big fish, at least a well-known drug lord in Magic City.

    Not only was he bold, but he also dealt in large quantities!!!

    Thinking about this.

    Su Ming did not hesitate and immediately logged into the police internal platform on his laptop, pulling up Skinny Dog’s profile.

    Turning the screen towards Huang Yan, he asked.

    “Take a good look.”

    “Is this the person who gave you thirty candy-shaped drugs?”

    “Also…”

    “Is this the ‘Dog Brother’ who others begged nonstop?”

    “Yes, that’s him!” Huang Yan immediately nodded without hesitation after a single glance.

    “My impression was a bit fuzzy at first…”

    “But when I saw this photo, it immediately matched the image in my mind.”

    “Because.”

    “At that time, this ‘Dog Brother’ not only ignored that man’s pleas but even kicked him away forcefully.”

    “As for what happened next…”

    “I’m not sure, I was so scared that I ran away.”

    After receiving this confirmation.

    Su Ming turned to Xu Changsheng, frowning slightly as he spoke in a low voice.

    “Brother Sheng.”

    “It seems we can confirm it’s Skinny Dog.”

    “Based on the timeline of the incident, 15 days ago when Huang Yan went to get the mixed drugs from Skinny Dog.”

    “Skinny Dog was indeed active at that time and hadn’t been captured yet, so there is no conflict in the timeline.”

    “However.”

    “Skinny Dog is definitely not the mastermind behind the killings. Not to mention whether he has the brains for it, or the ability to send out emails from a detention center to give orders.”

    “Simply put, the purity of the drugs is something Skinny Dog could not have acquired!!!”

    “Because.”

    “According to the blood test results from forensic expert Shen Lin, the drugs in Zhang Wan’s body were a mix of several highly pure drugs.”

    “For regular addicts,”

    “Getting heroin, meth, or ketamine—these three common drugs—isn’t that hard, but the tricky part is…”

    “Getting these three drugs with a purity above 95%!”

    “This high purity is something only high-end drug dealers or second-hand dealers could manage!!”

    “Even Skinny Dog, I estimate the highest purity of drugs he could obtain would be around 70%, with impurities like rock sugar added by his superior to increase profits.”

    “And when Skinny Dog sells them, he would likely add more impurities to dilute the purity to 50%, increasing his profits!!!”

    “Like when we arrested him a few days ago, I saw the lab report from the tech department. The purity of the heroin seized was only 50%.”

    “Of course, this kind of dilution is common among drug dealers, even down to the lowest levels…”

    “In some cases, 8 grams of a 10-gram drug package might be made up of impurities like white sugar, MSG, or salt.”

    “This isn’t for a reduced sentence, it’s simply for making more money.”

    “But now, we have drugs with a purity of 95%, used in the so-called ‘Blue Whale Game.'”

    “Moreover, Zhang wan and Huang Yan each got thirty pills, as if the high price didn’t matter, and they didn’t find it difficult to acquire such high-purity drugs.”

    “Additionally, the fact that Skinny Dog was controlled and obediently handed over the drugs to Huang Yan and Zhang Wan…”

    “All of this points to…”

    “The mastermind behind this is very likely Skinny Dog’s superior, who is also the largest drug lord in Magic City!!!”

    Regarding Su Ming’s deduction.

    Xu Changsheng nodded in agreement, tapping his fingers on the table as he responded.

    “Indeed, it’s very likely.”

    “We can’t let go of the Skinny Dog lead. We must dig deep to gain more important clues!!!”

    “But I never expected…”

    “Even though it’s highly probable he’ll get a light sentence, Skinny Dog didn’t say anything about his superior during interrogation.”

    “He’s already been sent to the detention center these past few days. I’ll have someone bring him back to the station right away!!!”

    At this point.

    Xu Changsheng was eager to dig into the Skinny Dog lead and turned to Huang Yan, signaling her to continue.

    “What you mentioned just now is very important. We’ve gained a crucial lead.”

    “This could help us identify the mastermind behind Zhang Wan’s murder.”

    “Now, go ahead and tell us more.”

    Hearing that her lead was so important, Huang Yan was visibly pleased, nodding eagerly and continuing.

    “After getting the thirty pills of candy…”

    “The Blue Whale game began. Every day at noon, a new email would be sent.”

    “It would record the game content for the day and always ask whether the previous game had been completed on time.”

    “I remember very clearly…”

    “The day after getting the candy, the game content was for me to eat a pill at 8 p.m., then at 9 p.m., I had to stand close to a wall.”

    “I had to imagine my desired freedom and the image of the Blue Whale swimming.”

    “The third and fourth day’s game content was similar. It didn’t ask us to self-harm, just to stand for two hours or stay awake all night, etc.”

    Hearing these special game details.

    Su Ming nodded approvingly and raised an eyebrow, confirming that the killer wasn’t a novice in psychological crimes, and at least had several experiences.

    Because.

    Those initial tasks—eating drug-laced candy, standing for two hours, staying awake all night—were all about obedience training.

    And getting the two women’s bodies familiar with the changes brought by the drugs.

    The killer seemed to be subtly conditioning Huang Yan and Zhang Wan to fully comply with his demands and begin to accept the pleasure of the drugs and mental disintegration.

    As Su Ming was deep in thought, Huang Yan didn’t stop speaking and continued.

    “But starting on the fifth day…”

    “The game content changed to having us cut marks on our arms as a price for freedom.”

    “And we would receive freedom and happiness, as if our entire consciousness were drifting in the deep sea.”

    “But the more days passed, the more exhausted I felt mentally, as though some new consciousness was about to emerge in my mind.”

    “But because I had become the so-called Blue Whale…”

    “I wasn’t particularly interested, so later I just ate the candy on time and felt the special pleasure, but didn’t really follow his game rules.”

    “As a result, yesterday, he found out and…”

    “Though he sent the usual game content at noon, he attached a threatening insult and reprimand…”

    Hearing this, Su Ming raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued, and he asked.

    “Insult and reprimand?”

    “Did he insult you in the email? Or by another method? What kind of words did he use?”

    Huang Yan paused for two seconds.

    Then, biting her lip, she continued without hesitation.

    “He wrote in the email…”

    “I gave you the chance for freedom, but you don’t know how to seize it and follow the rules.”

    “You deserve to be crippled and looked down upon for the rest of your life. I wrote clearly but you didn’t cooperate, those pigs in the psychiatric hospital know the rules better than you.”

    “He also said if I didn’t follow the rules, he wouldn’t send me any more game content, and I would lose the chance to get freedom and happiness forever.”

    From this line.

    Experienced Xu Changsheng immediately caught something strange and possible lead, quickly asking.

    “Wait!”

    “Huang Yan, are you saying…”

    “He specifically wrote about you being crippled? And also said you were worse than the pigs in the psychiatric hospital?”

    “Do you still have that email!!!”
