Chapter 40 The Password Box, Operation!

Chen Mo held a disposable paper cup in his hand, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Simply barging in won't work.

He still needed to use his brain and come up with a plan.

Since the key point lies in the 'human oil'.

Then he could completely center his thinking around this item.

After the human oil is used, is it saved for next time, or thrown away?

After all, this stuff is different from the peanut oil used at home in daily life.

One can just pour out the latter and buy more, but not the human oil.

From a common-sense perspective, it is highly likely that Li Sen would keep the human oil.

The place where it is stored should be the medical studio.

However, relying solely on the fact that human oil is hard to get to conclude that he wouldn't throw it away, and that it is 100% stored in the studio, is too absolute.

He must find a few more arguments.

He not only needed to convince Captain Long, but also himself.

"Captain Long, you mentioned before that people like Li Sen don't care about gold and silver jewelry at all, right?"

Suddenly being cued, Long Hao was taken aback.

After thinking for a moment, he carefully considered his words: "Hmm, people like him are immune to these things; what they pursue should be on a spiritual level."

As everyone has seen, what Li Sen pursues is Buddha, which belongs to spiritual needs.

"Following this logic, wearing gold and silver jewelry, driving luxury cars, or living in luxury houses can no longer satisfy his vanity."

"Then, if he has higher attainments in Buddhism than others, could that trigger his vanity?"

As Chen Mo finished speaking, Long Hao and Xiao Zhang exchanged glances.

How did it get to vanity?

They could certainly understand what was said.

In Long Hao's view, everyone actually has vanity, it's just that the things they pursue are different.

People like Li Sen have already moved past material needs and arrived at spiritual needs.

Material needs like cars, watches, and luxury houses can no longer satisfy his need to show off.

So, spiritual needs, in Li Sen's case, are things like understanding Buddhism.

"Yes, why not? If he believes in this stuff, and is better at it than others, then vanity will arise, and even the desire to show off."

These are the most basic psychological emotions when humans possess something good.

Unless they are immune, everyone has the psychology of showing off.

And according to Li Sen's recent state, those necklace-like things indeed had a psychological effect on him, curing his nightmares.

He should have the conditions to show off.

Long Hao had some insights into human nature.

"In that case, if Li Sen thinks the human oil necklace is a good thing, would he take it out to show off to his friends?"

The conference room was quiet for a moment.

Long Hao pursed his lips; so that was what Chen Mo meant.

He immediately reviewed the conversation in his mind.

Actually, every one of Chen Mo's questions was an attempt to derive the argument that after the human oil was used, it wasn't thrown away by Li Sen.

Now it seems it was very successful.

Li Sen is a person; it is certain that he would have the psychology of showing off when obtaining something good.

But after showing off, he needs to make people believe it.

For example, if you buy a new car with high horsepower, but just telling people won't make them believe you; you have to step on the gas a few times to let them hear the roar of the engine, only then will people believe it.

By the same token.

Li Sen's those human oil necklaces look very ordinary on the outside; just saying they are effective won't make anyone believe it. To satisfy his vanity, he must let others try them too.

Either he gives his own to others to wear, or he continues to make a few more.

Chen Mo leaned more towards the latter.

"That's amazing, Brother Mo!"

Xiao Zhang, who hadn't spoken until now, realized what was happening and his mouth dropped open wide.

In such a short time, Brother Mo had already found the argument to prove that Li Sen hadn't thrown away the human oil.

From human needs to the vanity of someone at Li Sen's level, he ultimately deduced the psychology of showing off.

Every step was well-founded!

"This thing is human oil after all; normal people would only feel fear upon hearing about it, which wouldn't satisfy Li Sen's vanity. Therefore, the only targets he can show off to are his own kind!"

His own kind?

In just an instant, Long Hao understood what Chen Mo meant.

This person Li Sen had developed a cognitive bias regarding Buddha.

Then, he probably wasn't the only one with such a bias.

An organization!

He turned his head to look at Xiao Zhang: "Find a way to investigate whether Li Sen is involved in some kind of superstitious organization."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhang indicated that he understood; investigating such organizations was actually much simpler than investigating Li Sen directly.

It was enough just to confirm that he was involved.

...

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was 4 PM.

There were only 5 hours left until the challenge ended.

He needed to be faster!

Chen Mo thought to himself.

Fortunately, regarding the matter of Li Sen participating in some superstitious organization, Xiao Zhang's investigation yielded good results.

"Through an informant at the Tiexi Branch, we learned about such an organization. According to the informant, every time they meet, a masked person appears."

"This person appears wearing a mask every time, so the impression is very deep. The higher-ups also respect him very much, and I heard that the money for every gathering is paid by this person."

"I had him look at Li Sen's photo and height again; it should be him."

Xiao Zhang said in an excited tone.

In this way.

According to Brother Mo's logic, the item to achieve vanity exists, and the people to satisfy that vanity exist.

To show off, he has to continue making a few human oil necklaces to prove their feasibility!

Based on these points, it is highly likely that the human oil would not be thrown away after use!

"By the way, Brother Mo, I heard from that informant that the time for the next gathering is exactly tonight. When do you think we should take action?"

Xiao Zhang rubbed his hands; this case was finally coming to an end.

It was worth all their running around.

"Two choices: first, charge directly into the medical studio; second, wait until Li Sen delivers the newly made human oil necklaces to others and then act."

Without a doubt, the second option is the safest.

Because the probability of error is very small this way.

Catch them red-handed!

Buzz, buzz.

— — Blooming and never withering

— — Blue Lotus

A burst of mobile phone ringtone rang out in Xiao Zhang's pocket.

He hurriedly took it out to answer, saying words like "Okay" and "Got it".

After hanging up, he said excitedly.

"The person in charge of monitoring those eight doctors said that when Team Leader Feng Chun came out of the studio, he was carrying a briefcase, and judging by the direction, he was going to Li Sen's house!"

"We guessed right; he must be rushing to hand over the newly made human oil necklaces to Li Sen before Li Sen goes to the gathering."

Chen Mo nodded; the current situation was the same as what he had anticipated.

"Do you know the time for the gathering tonight?"

Xiao Zhang said without hesitation: "Midnight, the twelfth floor of the Jinhuang Hotel has been booked."

Midnight?

It is 4 PM now, and only 5 hours are left until the challenge card ends.

He couldn't wait until 12 o'clock.

"Take the people and split into two groups; one group will go directly to Li Sen's house with me, and the other group will go to the studio to search!"

Huh?

Hearing this, both Long Hao and Xiao Zhang were stunned for a moment.

We aren't waiting for the evening gathering?

Meeting Brother Mo's gaze, Xiao Zhang nodded repeatedly and didn't waste any more words.
