Chapter 122 - Chapter 122 - 122: Building a Profile (2/2)
But as soon as he arrived at the shop, he noticed that everyone was looking at him a bit strangely that day.
“Boss Chen Yu, I never expected you to be so amazing, actually working with the authorities to catch the killer.”
A lady excitedly approached and grabbed Chen Yu’s hand, shaking it non-stop.
She treated Chen Yu like a superhero.
Yet Chen Yu’s face was full of gloom, the authorities wouldn’t have exposed his information so quickly.
After all, they would protect the privacy of the people involved.
Tong Ya walked out of the kitchen with a worried look and handed a tablet to Chen Yu.
“It was the driver from last night; his cab’s dashcam captured the scene! This guy actually uploaded it to the internet.”
Chen Yu’s pupils dilated slightly, realizing this was equivalent to bringing big trouble upon himself.
If the killer had accomplices, his future life would be plagued with endless problems.
Sighing helplessly, Chen Yu entered the kitchen with a depressed mood.
Li Gang complained while stir-frying dishes.
“This driver really takes the cake, exposing the video after having his life saved by us.”
Ning Kai patted Chen Yu’s shoulder, “Don’t worry too much; we brothers will bear any trouble for you.”
Chen Yu didn’t say much, just changed into his chef’s outfit and helped with the cooking.
At twelve noon, Tang Xiaowei and Su Rui arrived at the shop, overjoyed.
Their studio was not far from here, and it seemed they planned to treat Chen Yu’s place as their exclusive canteen.
As soon as Chen Yu served their lunches, Zhou Shengtao rushed into the shop.
“Young man, do you have the time now? Can you come back with me and draw a picture?”
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow, “Well, it’s rush hour right now…”
“Brother, please help out! You need to draw yesterday night’s guy’s accomplice.”
Chen Yu’s gaze became resolute, as he knew that only by catching the whole gang could he hope to live a peaceful life.
“Xiaowei, do you have the time to come too?”
Tang Xiaowei was taken aback, “Are you going to draw a portrait?”
Chen Yu grabbed Tang Xiaowei’s wrist directly, “Yes, I only know a bit of basic sketching, and there are some details I might not capture accurately!”
Chen Yu lacked professional drawing skills and feared making mistakes.
Zhou Shengtao, desperate for help, saw Chen Yu holding Tang Xiaowei and immediately took them both back to the relevant department.
“Based on our investigation, last night’s murder was a premeditated one and a gang crime. We have only obtained a few clues sporadically and hope you can use these to give us a rough sketch of the person.”
Chen Yu looked through a pile of information in front of him and frowned deeply.
It contained only some simple descriptions, and some parts didn’t match up at all.
Asking a non-professional like himself to draw a portrait was indeed a bit far-fetched.
However, Tang Xiaowei did not see it that way; she picked up a few sheets of paper and began sketching immediately.
But after a few attempts, Tang Xiaowei encountered difficulties.
“This guy is just spouting nonsense, the proportions of the eyebrows and mouth don’t match; they can’t be from the same face.”
Chen Yu took a deep breath, “Could we base the sketch on a single facial feature and use our imagination to fill in the rest?”
Tang Xiaowei frowned, “It’s possible, but wouldn’t that be extremely taxing mentally?”
Without saying much more, Chen Yu picked up a piece of paper and swiftly began to draw.
Before long, he drew a dozen portraits based on the clues provided by Zhou Sheng.
Each portrait was constructed around one or two specific features.
If any of these features were accurate, the killer could be found.
