Their chairs got closer to each other. To make it easier for Ye Jian to draw, Xia Jinyuan left his seat and squatted beside Ye Jian. “He cut his hair after he came to the Southern Province. Draw two drawings of the man. One with his hair reaching his ears while the other with a bob hairstyle.”
“Okay.” Ye Jian agreed with what he said. The first image on the screen was a man with slightly longer hair while on the fifth screen, the man had bob hair.
She sat in the middle with many policemen watching her as she drew. As she described the man, a thin man with skinny features appeared on the paper.
Xia Jinyuan took the drawing and said in a low voice, “This is not 100% similar but it’s more than 90% accurate. The suspect might not admit to his crimes but we have to catch him first.”
He gave the picture to the policemen. Ye Jian started drawing a full-body image of the suspect. She showed his height and body structure.
A policeman left with the drawing of the suspect’s face. The other people held their breaths as they looked at the high school student who’s drawing skill was on par with the professional police.
From the moment she started drawing, she never stopped. It was as though she had seen the person before.
The drawing of the face was sent to the respective departments to see if there were any similar looking people. After Ye Jian finished drawing the full-body image of the man, the policeman that was waiting for the results of the matching results dashed into the room like a gust of wind. “They found it!”
This meant that Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan’s work was done.
They were only required to provide some evidence for the police. Many people appeared in the cameras. It was hard to find a suspect among so many images from the surveillance cameras in the provincial city.
The two of them took slightly more than four hours to find the suspect. This was a great help to the police. Leader Chang heaved a sigh of relief.
“Little Xia, call your brother over for a meal.” Leader Chang knew Commander Xia and he met Xia Jinyuan a few times too. Since he helped him with such a huge matter, it was reasonable for him to treat him to a meal to express his thanks.
As the secretary of the leader, she had to deal with many things. Even a small matter like a meal needed careful planning. However, this time, there was no need for it.
“You’re too kind. He brought a friend over so he’s probably sending his friend home.”
Leader Chang thought that it was some friend from the Xia family so he smiled and replied, “Fine. Ask the police to hurry with the case. They must solve it within 48 hours. We can’t let another crime happen in my province!”
Can they solve the case in 48 hours? Ye Jian hoped that the police can catch the suspect as soon as possible.
After leaving the police station, the lights on the streets had lit up. It was almost 10 pm now. Ye Jian looked at the man who seemed to be in a hurry. “Captain Xia, it’s still early. There’s no need to go to the hotel.”
“Yes.” The moonlight shone on Xia Jinyuan. Xia Jinyuan smiled. The reflection of the moon could be seen in his eyes. It glittered when he smiled. He seemed more mesmerizing that he was in the day.” Why are you stepping back? Will the hotel follow you when you step back?”
Ye Jian rubbed her head as though it was hurting. She said helplessly, “Captain Xia, I don’t have the time to joke with you. It’s 10 pm now. I need to go back to the dormitory. I still have lessons tomorrow. Did you forget that I’m a student? The pressure in high school is great. I can’t lose my focus.”
