Chapter 428: Crime Hunting Illustrations 17
"Teacher Shen is so good at painting, so please teach me," An Yingqiu said with a smile.
Shen Yi looked at her with a dark expression: "You drew very well just now, you have a lot of talent."
An Yingqiu was placed on the bed and couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
The bedroom door was closed, and her laughter was interrupted.
My hand was held and I began to paint, the brush lightly touching every detail, creating ripples wherever it touched.
……
Recently, an explosion occurred in Beijiang City, followed by two more shortly afterward. Investigations revealed that the same perpetrator was responsible for both incidents.
Two of the victims, Zhao Jianyu and Zhang Weifeng, had attended the same summer camp when they were children, and both dropped out of school immediately after returning home to go abroad.
The investigation revealed that during the summer camp that year, one of the children, Li Liankai, fell to his death while climbing a mountain, but the children in the same group as him were all unharmed.
Analysis suggests that Li Liankai's family members are likely the perpetrators, probably acting out of revenge, as Zhao Jianyu and Chen Weifeng were among the group members.
Du Cheng led his men to the current home of Li Liankai's father, Li Junwei, but the man was no longer there.
Based on the face-blind sketches found in his home, Shen Yi drew the four targets targeted by the perpetrator.
Based on the comparison, one of the three victims was a mistaken killer; the one named Liu Xiaochen escaped.
If three out of four people are eliminated, then only one person who seems to have no connection with the others is left.
Li Han said, "The fourth person is Lin Zhijie, the owner of Shangpin Toy Store."
Jiang Feng looked at Shen Yi and asked, "This person has nothing to do with anyone else. Did you draw it wrong?"
"No, I drew it according to the rules of my painting style, Li Junwei," Shen Yi said, shaking his head.
An Yingqiu said, "There's a toy fragment at every explosion site. This person owns a toy store, so they must be connected."
Shen Yi: "Lin Zhijie opened a toy store and also has a record of going abroad back then, so I don't think it's an accident."
Jiang Feng stuck to his belief that the next person would be Liu Xiaochen, who had narrowly escaped.
“Since Li Junwei killed the wrong person, I think we should set up surveillance at Liu Xiaochen’s house as soon as possible.”
Shen Yi firmly believed that Li Junwei did not know he had killed the wrong person, but seeing that no one believed him, he sent everyone to Liu Xiaochen's house to set up surveillance.
He planned to go to Lin Zhijie's toy store alone.
Shen Yi turned and walked out, and An Yingqiu followed. He turned his head and asked, "You...?"
"I'll go with you, otherwise I'm afraid you'll be in danger."
"Do you think my analysis is correct?" Shen Yi asked.
An Yingqiu nodded: "Yes, we have enough people to set up surveillance. I'm worried about you going alone."
His analysis was correct; Li Junwei would indeed go to the toy store.
Shen Yi took her hand: "Okay, let's go together."
The two drove to the mall and found Lin Zhijie's toy store.
Shen Yi walked up to the claw machine, operated it, and won a plush toy, which he handed to An Yingqiu.
"For me?" An Yingqiu took it and squeezed the doll.
"Hmm, take it back and put it in the living room at home as a decoration."
An Yingqiu smiled and nodded: "Okay, you decide what your spoils are."
Shen Yi said with a smile, "You can also give me your opinions, after all, it's a gift to you."
"Just as you say."
The two were chatting and laughing when a man walked in from outside the shop. As soon as he entered, he kept staring at Shen Yi's back: "Lin Zhijie."
Shen Yi turned around and saw his face clearly. Only then did Li Junwei look away: "You're not Lin Zhijie. Where is he?"
“He went out on something, so I’ll watch the shop for him for a bit. Is there anything you need him for?” Shen Yi said.
Li Junwei found a place to sit down: "I'll talk about my business when he gets back. I'll wait for him here."
Looking at his back and the detonator in his hand, Shen Yi and An Yingqiu exchanged a glance and confirmed that this person was Lin Zhijie.
An Yingqiu gave Shen Yi a look, signaling him to draw attention to the detonator while she found an opportunity to remove it.
Shen Yi was a little nervous at first, but then he realized he wasn't alone and had to calm down, so he nodded to her and went over to talk to Li Junwei.
An Yingqiu walked slowly out, giving the impression that she was about to leave.
Li Junwei walked over to a toy, and his eyes started to look at it strangely: "Lin Zhijie actually has the nerve to sell this."
Shen Yi took a deep breath and walked over: "What did you say?"
“Call Lin Zhijie and tell him to come back,” Li Junwei said, looking at him.
After he finished speaking, he unzipped his clothes, revealing a bomb strapped inside. It would explode if he pressed the detonator in his hand.
While the two were talking, An Yingqiu concealed her presence so that Li Junwei wouldn't notice her, and then silently walked behind him.
To prevent any accidents, she used her spiritual power to control the detonator, making it impossible for him to press it.
Then, taking advantage of his inattention, he grabbed both of Li Junwei's hands, and Li Junwei released the detonator with a sharp pain in his hands.
The detonator's wire was connected to the bomb. The moment he let go, it was hanging in the air. Shen Yi immediately stepped forward and grabbed it.
When Du Cheng arrived, he ordered his men to immediately defuse the bomb and then take the person back.
After he finished his work, he looked at the two of them and said, "You two are quite bold."
An Yingqiu casually replied, "It's alright, at worst we'll live and die together."
Shen Yi smiled and nodded: "Mm."
Du Cheng felt like he'd been shown up by them again, so he didn't say anything more and simply turned and walked away.
Back at the station, the case is closed, and I can leave work on time today.
An Yingqiu and Shen Yi planned to eat out tonight. They found a restaurant, ate, and then went to see a movie.
After returning home, it was already late. Shen Yi went to take a shower, while An Yingqiu went to his studio, took a drawing board and paintbrushes, and began to paint.
When Shen Yi came out of the bathroom, he saw her painting intently.
He walked over and looked at the drawing on the paper, somewhat surprised: "You've studied painting?"
"You're self-taught. How's the drawing?" She drew Shen Yi's likeness.
The original owner had no experience in painting, so she wouldn't say that she had specifically studied it.
Fortunately, her paintings have a relatively free style and no fixed style.
"It's very well drawn, and your skills are superb. You have a real talent for painting." Shen Yi watched as her brushstrokes were swift and skillful.
An Yingqiu remained noncommittal: "You often draw me, so I'll draw one for you too."
"Okay, I'll save it once you finish drawing it. Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat?" Shen Yi looked at the painting she had only finished halfway through and thought about making her something to eat.
However, his cooking skills are only good enough to make soup; he's not very good at other things and still needs to learn.
Without turning her head, An Yingqiu said, "Okay, see what ingredients are left in the refrigerator, just grab whatever you have."
