Was it merely because Zhang Meili was so beautiful that Liu Chao had his eyes on her?
Sun Feng never believed that.
After a psychiatric evaluation, it was confirmed that his mental state was normal and did not fall under the category of schizophrenia.
So, what led him to the abyss?
Liu Chao's experiences provided the best answer.
As the youngest son in his family, Liu Chao was cherished by his older siblings and parents.
Logically, a child born into such a loving family should grow up happily under the sun.
Yet, perplexingly, he grew distant from familial affection as he matured.
This was precisely why he claimed to be an orphan in his employment report.
In truth, young Liu Chao was quite intelligent and often ranked at the top of his class.
Many girls at school were fond of him, and he accepted their affections while juggling multiple relationships.
At the cusp of his sexual awakening, he deceived many girls into giving themselves to him, only to discard them immediately afterward.
At that time, a tragic incident occurred at the county high school when a female student unexpectedly became pregnant.
Under immense pressure, she jumped from the school rooftop, resulting in her death along with that of her unborn child.
The one responsible for Xiaofei's pregnancy was none other than Liu Chao.
Incredibly, Liu Chao's family managed to settle this matter for 500 yuan.
Sun Feng realized that Liu Chao's family exemplified a typical preference for sons over daughters.
His three older sisters had doted on him since childhood, not to mention the parents who had longed for a son in their later years.
He, relying on this favor, became even more reckless, doing whatever he pleased.
By chance, he came across an adult magazine.
He was deeply attracted by the various nude scenes inside and often sneaked peeks at his sister while she bathed.
The ignorance of adolescence made it impossible for him to control his desires. After entering high school, he was expelled due to his behavior.
However, a series of events did not affect him at all.
His family arranged a "good path" for him: joining the military.
This laid a deep hidden danger for him to later embark on a path of crime and commit brutal acts.
Without family constraints, he completely let himself go.
Upon arriving at the military base, he was seen as a key candidate for training by the captain.
But he often sneaked out at night to find women, which led to a lack of energy during training.
As time went on, he was reassigned to the cooking team.
Liu Chao was proud and unwilling to be just a small cook in the kitchen.
Day and night in the cooking team, slaughtering pigs and sheep and chopping large bones gave him another kind of immense pleasure.
He originally thought this pleasure could only be found with women.
But now he preferred the feeling of a knife cutting through flesh, which made him shudder with excitement—ten thousand times more exhilarating than with women.
While in the cooking team, a murder and dismemberment case occurred near the military base.
According to Liu Chao, that was the first time he saw a corpse.
The body was cut into several pieces and thrown in the wild, bloody and gruesome; an ordinary person would be terrified.
He was not afraid; instead, he felt even more excited.
He was also very angry, angry that he had not done it himself.
At that moment, his mind was in an extremely twisted state, with a strong desire to kill and dismember.
After that day, the scene lingered in his mind for a long time, planting the seeds of evil deep within Liu Chao.
His thoughts became filled with fantasies of murder, especially when he was cutting pork; he believed he was killing someone.
According to Liu Chao, every time he arrived at Concealed, an uncontrollable impulse surged within him, making him want to kill someone just to try it out.
Even though he was scared, he regarded killing someone as a necessary means to conquer his own fear and cowardice.
He constantly thought about "breaking through himself."
Due to multiple unauthorized absences from the military, Liu Chao was expelled from the army in October 1998.
He was 20 years old that year.
In December of the same year, he started working at Rhein Tower, and in February of the following year, Zhang Meili was murdered.
