After listening to Lu Wan's report, Bai Yonghui frowned.
"You mean now we can only hope that Bai Mo can draw a portrait of the murderer?" Bai Yonghui looked at the wall connected to the next room as he spoke. Obviously he knew that the next door had been converted into Bai Mo's studio.
"Although I don't want to admit it..." Lu Wan sighed helplessly and looked at the wall, "Our current breakthrough seems to be only his portrait."
Bai Yonghui did not lose his temper because of this. He knew his apprentice. Lu Wan was an extremely careful person and she would not miss any possible clues.
Now that Lu Wan said this, it meant that they really couldn't find the direction of their investigation.
Bai Yonghui approached Lu Wan and lowered his voice and said: "The superiors asked you to report all the progress of the case. I have been fighting for you for five days. This time I am trying to fight for you for another seven days. After seven days, you must report the progress of the case with me." ,do not blame me."
Five days have passed since the incident. During these five days, no one has disturbed the police team's handling of the case. This is Bai Yonghui's protection for his men.
The above requires that the case must be reported after seven days, but it does not say that the case must be solved. Bai Yonghui must have explained the complexity of the case to his superiors.
Obviously, the superiors now need to characterize the case. Once it is classified as a hired murder, some people may not be able to sit still.
After Bai Yonghui left, the atmosphere in the office fell into an eerie silence.
Lu Wan kept standing there with her arms folded in thought. Zeng Hao and Chen Xiaoxiao peeked at Lu Wan from time to time, but no one dared to make any sound.
"Alas -" Lu Wan sighed and stopped in front of the whiteboard. She wanted to try to find a new direction of investigation from the known clues.
From the beginning of the investigation, Lu Wan has divided into two directions. One is to trace the identity of the deceased, and the other is to find the reason why Qu Hailong and his wife were killed.
The identity of the deceased can only be relied on Bai Mo's portrait. So what was the reason why Qu Hailong and his wife were killed?
Both of them have good attitudes towards outsiders in life and work. It is difficult for such people to cause death.
Competition at work has also been eliminated. Could it be caused by a small incident that happened by chance?
For example, in some classic cases, someone drives into someone else on a small road and walks away without caring about the other person's life or death; or where does he go and see something he shouldn't see?
etc!
Lu Wan suddenly thought of a small detail. The driving recorder of Qu Hailong's car was taken away by the murderer. At first, she thought that the murderer was worried that the driving recorder would record the murderer or leave the murderer's voice, so the murderer took it away.
But now that I think about it, could it be because Qu Hailong once drove to the place where the murderer was? Even if it's not the location of the murderer, it's possible that the person who hired the murderer showed up in the dash cam.
The murderer stole the ax 22 days ago, which shows that the murderer had targeted Qu Hailong earlier.
"Xiao Kai!" Lu Wan turned around and called out.
Sun Xiaokai quickly stood up and said, "Here you are!"
"I have been to Qu Hailong's company. The streets there are monitored. You try to make a road map of Qu Hailong through road monitoring. I want to know where he has been in the past two months." Lu Wan said.
Upon hearing that there was a new direction of investigation, Sun Xiaokai immediately accepted the order.
Lu Wan returned her gaze to the whiteboard. She always felt that she had overlooked something important.
While thinking about it, Lu Wan accidentally wrote the word "child" on the whiteboard. The strangest thing about this case was that the murderer was very concerned about the child during the murder.
That day, the nanny Wang Dongmei said that Qu Hailong and his wife often quarreled and even fought regardless of the child's feelings, resulting in the child not talking or laughing.
At that time, Lu Wan had doubted Wang Dongmei, and she could tell that Wang Dongmei cared about Jamie.
So Lu Wan asked Zeng Hao to look up Wang Dongmei by the way, and then she found out that Wang Dongmei lost her husband when she was young, her son was working hard in other places, and she was left alone in Meihai City.
Because she was too lonely, Wang Dongmei chose to work as a nanny.
On the night of the incident, Wang Dongmei helped take care of the children at a neighbor's house, and there is sufficient alibi evidence.
Jamie's grandparents have come to Meihai City, and now they are taking care of Jamie together with the help of Wang Dongmei.
When recalling these things, Lu Wan wrote another word on the whiteboard - quarrel!
The two of them have such a good reputation outside the home, why do they often quarrel at home?
Time passed slowly, and no one made a sound, for fear of interrupting Lu Wan's thinking.
"Army?"
Bai Mo's voice reached Lu Wan's ears, and she came back from her thoughts.
Looking sideways, Bai Mo was standing next to her holding a piece of paper.
"Did you draw it?" Lu Wan asked while taking the paper in Bai Mo's hand. This sentence also made others leave their seats and come over.
This is still an incomplete portrait. Compared with before, there are one more eye sockets and pupils. The lines around the eye sockets are very simple. Obviously Bai Mo can only draw so much.
"I can confirm that these are the information on the murderer's face, and I will try to complete the other parts through combination as before." Bai Mo said.
Lu Wan didn't know how to continue. If it were Bai Yonghui before he came, she would have praised Bai Mo and encouraged him to draw bravely.
But now she only has seven days. Unless they find new clues, she won't be able to catch the murderer with such a half-finished portrait.
Lu Wan handed the portrait to Zeng Hao, waved her hand and said, "Keep working!"
After saying that, Lu Wan looked at the whiteboard again.
Realizing that Lu Wan didn't respond much to the portrait, Bai Mo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
For some reason, Bai Mo used to be a much-anticipated genius in the academy. He never cared about other people's evaluations of him. But when he became the portrait artist of the Criminal Police Team, he always wanted to be recognized and wanted everyone to know that his portraits were never the same. would be wrong.
The attentive Chen Xiaoxiao saw Bai Mo's thoughts. She pulled Bai Mo aside and told Bai Mo about the seven-day deadline.
Although the seven-day deadline was addressed to Lu Wan, and although Chen Xiaoxiao spoke softly when Bai Yonghui informed him of the deadline, Bai Mo still felt the sudden increase in pressure on Lu Wan.
Arriving behind Lu Wan, Bai Mo looked at Lu Wan's back and suddenly felt in awe of this usually amiable elder sister.
Lu Wan is a woman with strong ability to withstand pressure. Even if her hope is slim, she is still working hard to find possible breakthroughs.
A strong thought arose in Bai Mo's heart. He wanted to help Lu Wan and help Lu Wan catch the murderer within seven days.
Bai Mo's eyes moved to the whiteboard, and when he saw the words Jamie and quarrel, his expression gradually changed.
