Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 112: We Witnessed a Monster Today!

"This game is called ’Draw and Guess!’"

When Chen Xiao said this, everyone looked puzzled.

Only Guo Zhengchang let out a long sigh of relief and then secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Chen Xiao returned a smile, thinking that Guo Zhengchang might be overthinking it.

The whole case was his job, no matter whether Guo Zhengchang helped him or not, Chen Xiao would devote his efforts to solving the case.

Now Guo Zhengchang was almost helping him wholeheartedly, even assisting him.

How could Chen Xiao publicly expose Guo Zhengchang’s son’s scandal of snatching love?

And the moment Guo Zhengchang heard the game was called ’You Say, I Draw,’ he naturally understood what Chen Xiao was going to do next.

After all, he was the only one who knew that at the end of the investigation, Chen Xiao had sketched the back of the murderer, leading to the capture of Lou Yang.

However, understanding didn’t mean others did.

Even Hu Yue never asked about the origin of that sketch he had confiscated.

Soon, a reporter asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by us saying and you drawing?"

"There are seniors from the city bureau here, as well as friends from the press. Your gathering here means you have knowledge of many cases. The game I mentioned requires you to recount the cases you’ve experienced, and then I’ll sketch the general outline of the culprit!"

"Ah? Is that even possible!" Someone exclaimed in surprise after understanding.

But some didn’t quite grasp Chen Xiao’s meaning and laughed, "Those are already solved cases, Mr. Chen, you can’t cheat, right?"

"Of course not. I believe there are many solved cases that haven’t been announced. There are seniors from Qingxi’s police, as well as three seniors from our Jiang Province present; let them describe the cases."

Everyone finally understood.

But Zhang Xian kept winking, whispering, "Are you serious?"

"You think I want you to hold back with so many people here?"

"Damn, aren’t you afraid of failing miserably?"

"No chance of failure, rest assured."

After a brief exchange, the captain from one of Qingxi’s precincts couldn’t wait any longer.

"I’ll go first!"

"Okay, but I need a drawing board and art supplies."

"Bring the supplies!"

Under the guidance of Chen Xiao, a spot was quickly cleared at the scene.

Chen Xiao sat between the police and the reporters, while the captain started recounting a case he had investigated.

"This case occurred a year ago; the murderer’s appearance hasn’t appeared online or in any media. The case’s impact is limited, and apart from people within our system and locals, not many know what he looks like."

Chen Xiao nodded, "Please describe the victim’s appearance, cause of death, and post-mortem details."

"The deceased was a 36-year-old man living alone in a town, parents alive, weighing 90 kilograms, height 172. Cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation, no other significant external injuries, no internal injuries found post-mortem. No alcohol or drugs involved, and he was healthy before being killed. Under his fingernails were traces of the murderer’s skin from struggle. There was also hair, approximately 25 centimeters long, found on the victim’s clothes."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, the pen in his hand already starting on the drawing board.

The captain couldn’t help but focus his gaze, but Chen Xiao’s second question followed:

"Please narrate the case details."

"The first to discover the victim was his fellow village resident. Though he lived in town, he was found hanging in the ancestral hall."

"What were the friction marks between the rope and the pillar like?"

"There were signs of repeated pulling and rubbing."

"What were the investigation directions?"

"The deceased was single, had a fiery temper, often clashed with others, that’s one direction. He was a skilled gambler, that’s the second direction. He often played cards with women, allegedly having unclear relationships with several, that’s the third direction. None of these directions yielded progress in the initial investigation."

Chen Xiao’s gaze sharpened, "Was there any discovery at the primary crime scene?"

"Initially, no, but later, it was found; however, the primary crime scene was unexpectedly located. Moreover, through investigation of the primary crime scene, it was found that, apart from scratching the murderer’s arm, there was no other resistance from the deceased."

Upon hearing ’unexpectedly located,’ Chen Xiao’s lips curled, "In early investigations, those you suspected were later proven not to be the murderers, right? Whether they were card partners or people with whom he had conflicts."

The captain showed a flash of shock in his eyes, "Yes."

Chen Xiao nodded, "Please describe the biggest challenges you faced during the investigation."

"You’ve already addressed the question; the biggest challenge was those with obvious suspicion were proven not to be the murderers..."

Chen Xiao nodded with a smile, then said, "Please describe the ancestral hall’s environment and the primary crime scene."

The captain began describing again, while Chen Xiao closed his eyes silently.

Nobody knew that with his eyes closed, Chen Xiao was honing both his reconstructive and sketching abilities.

Once the mental picture was constructed, Chen Xiao opened his eyes and drew swiftly on the board.

The captain, who had been detailing the case, stopped abruptly after glancing at the board.

He looked at Chen Xiao in disbelief and exclaimed, "How... how could this be!"

His exclamation shocked everyone present.

Hu Yue was the first to ask, "Old Huang, what does that mean? Is it accurate?"

The captain nodded heavily, "Yes, although not entirely accurate, if we had gotten this sketch in the final stages of our investigation, we could have directly identified the murderer!"

"Shit... really? Just by listening, you can sketch the murderer? But why does the sketch make the murderer look like an elderly couple?"

The captain replied sternly, "The murderers are the deceased’s parents!"

"Ah!"

The scene burst into astonishment.

At this point, Chen Xiao put down his pencil, nodding slightly toward Officer Huang, "Thank you, senior."

Officer Huang hurriedly shook his head, "I dare not call myself a senior in front of you; your ability is terrifying, it has truly been enlightening today!"

Chen Xiao smiled, then heard a reporter excitedly asking, "Then, does that mean in future cases, Mr. Chen can sketch the murderer?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao immediately shook his head, "No, I must first grasp most of the case details before it’s possible to sketch the murderer."

Just as Chen Xiao finished speaking, Hu Yue couldn’t help but say, "So, after grasping the precise details of the Xiaofeng Village murder case, you sketched the drawing and captured Lou... the suspect, didn’t you!"

Chen Xiao nodded, and Hu Yue fell silent.

Moreover, at that moment, apart from the reporters who were still excitedly discussing, all the forensic experts at the scene fell silent.

Only those who truly understood realized how much effort it took to accomplish what Chen Xiao did with apparent ease!

Who knows how much time passed before Zhang Xian and his companions, who had been staring at the drawing board, exclaimed in unison, "A genius, we’ve encountered a genius today!"
