Lu Wan's answer shocked everyone, and everyone even thought that Lu Wan was joking.
Qin Youwei, the most senior member of the police force, whispered: "Did you learn to be stupid in Kyoto this year? The deceased's face was highly damaged. Can it be painted?"
Lu Wan is 36 years old. She became the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Meihai City Public Security Bureau a year ago. She then went to Kyoto for study and exchange according to work arrangements. She did not return to Meihai City until three days ago. Today’s case is also her return to Meihai. The first case after the city.
Lu Wan did not answer Qin Youwei, but pointed to the corpse and said to Bai Mo: "Go and paint quickly!"
Hearing Lu Wan's commanding tone, Bai Mo immediately nodded, took out a drawing board and a pencil and walked towards the body.
No one raised any objections. This was Lu Wan's status in the police force. It was the unparalleled position she had established in the police force with her own abilities over the past ten years.
What everyone didn't know was that when Lu Wan was studying in Kyoto, she heard some colleagues mention that there were some powerful portraitists in the country who could reconstruct human faces through skulls, so Lu Wan knew about simulation portraitists.
In addition, there is another detail. When Bai Mo came over just now, he recognized her after just one glance at her.
Although a person's appearance does not change much after adulthood, Lu Wan knew that she didn't like makeup back then and was far less mature than she is now, and her temperament also changed a lot.
But Bai Mo was able to call her name out of his memory.
This is a manifestation of the ability of portraits. A powerful portraitist can draw a person's entire appearance from child to old age with very small errors.
After seeing Bai Mo's confident expression, Lu Wan had a feeling that Bai Mo had this ability!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Mo, who slowly walked towards the body, walked around to the front and sat on a stone.
Two forensic doctors helped twist the corpse's neck so that Bai Mo could see the corpse's bloody face.
A trace of doubt rose in Lu Wan's eyes. In her opinion, it was impossible for ordinary people to withstand the impact of that face. For example, there was a smell of vomit in the air at this moment. It was obviously caused by a colleague after seeing the corpse. Physiological response.
But there was no uncomfortable expression on Bai Mo's face. On the contrary, Bai Mo could carefully observe the face of the corpse.
"Doesn't he feel sick?" Zeng Hao also felt something strange.
"I don't think so." Bai Mo heard Zeng Hao's doubts and still looked at the face of the corpse carefully, and said seriously, "In my eyes, she is just a damaged painting, and my task is to restore her original state. appearance.”
Swish, swish, swish...
Bai Mo's pencil began to slide on the drawing board. He glanced at the corpse from time to time, and from time to time asked the forensic doctors to help adjust the angle of the corpse's face.
Soon, the prototype of a human face appeared on the snow-white drawing board.
The pencil in Bai Mo's hand continued to work on the prototype as if it was infused with magic. After nearly twenty minutes, a woman's face was completely outlined.
"Huh——" With a long sigh, Bai Mo stood up, and then came to Lu Wan with a smile.
Bai Mo took out the portrait on the drawing board and handed it to Lu Wan, "Here you go."
After taking the portrait, Lu Wan looked at Bai Mo in disbelief. She could see the confidence in Bai Mo's movements, as if he was sure that this was what the deceased should look like.
Lu Wan handed the portrait to Zeng Hao, "Let Xiaokai try to compare faces to determine the identity of the deceased, and at the same time compare the check-in system of the hotel industry in Meihai City."
Meihai City, belonging to Dongtai Province of China, is located in the easternmost part of China. It is a coastal city and contains three counties.
Being close to the sea, the fishery in Meihai City is naturally quite developed. Unfortunately, due to the depth of the sea, it cannot become an important base for shipping.
Fortunately, the domestic tourism industry has developed rapidly in recent years. Meihai City's seafood and barbecue have gradually become famous in the country. Coupled with the unique beauty of the seaside city, countless tourists have begun to travel to Meihai City.
The economy of Meihai City has been improved, but it was once just a small city and it was difficult to meet the needs of a huge flow of people in a short period of time.
As an emerging tourist city, Meihai City does have many shortcomings, but the management of the hotel industry is quite strict. Anyone who checks in must register.
If there is nothing wrong with Bai Mo's painting, as long as the deceased has a check-in record at a hotel in the city, then there is hope to determine the identity of the deceased.
When Lu Wan finished arranging her work and looked at Bai Mo, she found that Bai Mo was looking at him with a look of infatuation on his face and a silly smile on his lips.
Lu Wan cleared her throat and coughed deliberately. Bai Mo immediately looked away after realizing his gaffe.
"If the murderer is caught, I'll treat you to dinner." Lu Wan's statement was very euphemistic, but it also hinted that Bai Mo should leave. Now is not the time to reminisce about the past.
"Okay!" Bai Mo nodded and pointed to the other side, "Then I'll leave first."
Lu Wan nodded. Although she had hope for Bai Mo, she didn't know whether Bai Mo's portrait was useful. She still needed to make other preparations.
Looking at Bai Mo's retreating back, Lu Wan's ears twitched, and she heard Zeng Hao's muttering.
"The way this guy looks at Army is not right, right?"
······
An hour later, at the airport in Jichuan City, west of Meihai City, the murderer of the female corpse on the rocky beach was successfully arrested by the police.
The murderer's name was Duan Honghua, a native of Jichuan City, Dongtai Province, and the deceased's name was Ma Ping, a native of Gui Province, who worked in Jichuan City.
Ma Ping is the best friend of Duan Honghua's girlfriend Yu Yan. According to Duan Honghua, Ma Ping used some shady means to break up Duan Honghua and Yu Yan and became his new girlfriend. Yu Yan committed suicide by jumping off the building half a month ago.
After learning that Ma Ping had used dirty tricks on Yu Yan, Duan Honghua began to murder her. It happened that Ma Ping proposed to travel to Meihai City, so Duan Honghua planned the murder.
According to Duan Honghua's plan, he could escape abroad as long as he delayed the time for the police to determine the identity of the deceased.
It's a pity that Duan Honghua met Bai Mo.
I have to say that Bai Mo's portrait was too accurate. The police quickly determined the identity of the deceased by comparing the portrait with the hotel industry's check-in system. Duan Honghua was indeed very cautious. The only person in the hotel's check-in record was Ma Ping.
Sun Xiaokai, a technical detective from the criminal police team, discovered Duan Honghua based on the hotel's surveillance. A video from the surveillance showed Duan Honghua and Ma Ping coming back from outside. Ma Ping was holding two bags in his hands. Sun Xiaokai found the merchant based on the bags' trademarks.
It was a luxury clothing store, there was only one in the city, and it was the shoes and coat Duan Honghua bought for Ma Ping.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Zeng Hao shook his head and sighed, "After killing someone, go back to Jichuan City, and then leave by plane. If we were a little slower, the person would have gone abroad!"
Chen Xiaoxiao sighed softly and looked at the ceiling blankly, "Duan Honghua only said that Ma Ping used some shady methods. Until now, he has not said what Yu Yan has gone through, so that a person can live a worry-free life." The number of men killing people is enough to show how dirty Ma Ping's methods are."
"He really had sincere feelings for Yu Yan. If he had not returned to Jichuan to take another look at Yu Yan's tombstone, he would have really run away." Sun Xiaokai said.
Everyone in the office was discussing Duan Honghua's motive for killing.
Lu Wan did not participate. She was leaning against the door frame of her office, looking down at the sketch in her hand.
At this moment, the only thing in her mind was the boy who was serious about painting...
