Chapter 135 - Chapter 135 - 135: Kicked Out of the Store (2/2)

Many times he had wanted to explain that he was not a professional Portrait Artist.

But how could he refuse something as serious as a matter of life and death?

He had no choice but to take the sketchpad handed to him by a nearby staffer and start sketching on the spot.

With his knowledge of biology in mind, Chen Yu roughly estimated the facial proportions of the deceased.

He then used the ratios of the facial skeleton, muscles, and skin layers to extrapolate the curves of the missing parts.

In half an hour, he had roughly sketched out two portraits.

“It should be quite close—possibly just missing some details,” Chen Yu said as he handed the portraits directly to Zhou Shengtao.

Taking the portraits, Zhou Shengtao couldn’t help but get excited.

“Xiao Chen, your talent is absolutely amazing. What we need the most now is a talent like you. Why don’t you consider becoming a part-time staffer with us?”

Chen Yu laughed awkwardly, “Don’t joke with me, I still have my own shop and business… ”

“Hey, it’s just a part-time position, it wouldn’t interfere with your business. I’ll contact you when needed! And it’s a government position too, why not think it over?”

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. Having a government position could indeed make things more convenient for him in the future.

“Then let me get through this busy period first!”

Zhou Shengtao laughed heartily and patted Chen Yu on the shoulder.

“No problem, I’ll wait for you.”

As they talked, two analysis officers hurried over with tablet computers.

“Chief Zhou, the identity of the deceased has been confirmed. It’s very likely one of Li Ming’s accomplices!”

Zhou Shengtao clenched his teeth, “This guy is trying to reenact the case from ten years ago!”

Chen Yu’s brow furrowed, a jolt going through him when he heard the name Li Ming.

He was still in college ten years ago, when the serial killer case was all the rage.

It was said that Li Ming murdered thirteen people, took nearly ten million in finances, then killed all his accomplices and vanished completely.

During that time, everyone was living in fear, worried that Li Ming would suddenly jump out from some corner, and some even used Li Ming’s name to frighten their children.

According to the clues he had seen in the relevant departments, there were already thirteen victims in Suzhou City.

Now that Li Ming had begun killing his accomplices again, it meant he was preparing to flee.

The faces of those present were solemn; the same case was unfolding before their eyes after a decade, and so far they had no leads.

A good number of them didn’t think it was because Li Ming was too cunning, but rather blamed their own incompetence.

If the same case happened again in ten years, they would live their lives in self-reproach and guilt.

Chen Yu sighed. Perhaps the skills the system had given him weren’t meant just for him to open a shop, make money, and enjoy a life turnaround.

Giving back to the world was what he truly ought to do.

Subconsciously, Chen Yu began to focus his attention on observing the scene.

Two lives had been taken here, the bodies left unhandled, only their facial features destroyed.

This indicated that the murderer was extremely hurried when acting and did not have prior arrangements.

If that was the case, there surely had to be some traces left behind at the scene.

Indeed, Chen Yu noticed a partial footprint exposed by the side of the moat.

“Chief Zhou, there’s something here!”

Chen Yu called out and hurried over first, reaching out to block the river water on the side.
