Chapter 70 Portrait of the Murderer
Kang Ting was speechless for a moment after hearing Su Miaoyi's words.

It's one thing for the Jinghai Municipal Public Security Bureau to have a thuggish tycoon like Zhuang Yanzheng, but now there's another guy who, after glancing at a corpse, acts like he's possessed by a ghost and then rambles on about the crime.

"Captain Kang?" Su Miaoyi called out to him when he didn't speak.

Kang Ting looked at her, paused, and then said, "Is this how Jinghai solves cases? It's utterly absurd."

Su Miaoyi looked at him: "."

Kang Ting said, "I've been a criminal investigator for over twenty years, and this is the first time I've heard of something so absurd. You guys in Jinghai are really capable of anything, and you even dared to recommend you."

Su Miaoyi could understand; it was hard for anyone to believe such a thing at first glance.

Moreover, there was Kang Ting, who had been a criminal police officer for twenty years, standing right in front of him.

He always insists on having evidence first in everything.

She thought for a moment and then asked, "So, what are your current areas of investigation?"

Kang Ting remained silent.

“I saw the killer’s face,” Su Miaoyi said.

Kangting looked at her.

Su Miaoyi looked at him with utter incomprehension: "I know that in your heart I haven't been cleared of suspicion, but contacting Lu Zhishen should be possible, right? He's the police station's portrait artist."

Kang Ting didn't move, he just looked at her.

Su Miaoyi said, "Since you don't have a direction for your investigation, and there's no news about the source of the jade pendant and gold chain, contacting Lu Zhishen's portrait won't conflict with the investigation. What if the murderer is actually found?"

Kang Ting was silent for a moment, then took out his phone.

Just as Su Miaoyi was about to give Lu Zhishen's phone number, Kang Ting directly found his contact information and dialed it.

Then Su Miaoyi heard him call out, "Zhishen."

They seem to know each other quite well.

"Is it in Jiangcheng?" Kang Ting asked again.

Su Miaoyi looked at him.

Why ask that?
Lu Zhishen should be in Jinghai.

“Yes, we need to get your portrait drawn. Since you’re in Jiangcheng, let’s go to the police station. It’ll save us the trouble of talking over the phone, and it’s not very efficient anyway,” Kang Ting said.

"Do you have any drawing paper on hand? Let's talk over the phone. Going to the police station would be too much of a waste of time," Su Miaoyi said.

Kang Ting looked at her: "He was talking on the phone, and we had to make a video call. He couldn't describe it clearly, so he just gestured with his hands. By the time he finished making the changes, he had already arrived at the police station."

Lu Zhishen suddenly asked, "Su Miaoyi?"

Kang Ting said, "It's her."

“She can do it,” Lu Zhishen said. “I have some drawing paper on hand, so I’ll let her speak.”

Kang Ting's lips moved slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything and turned on the speakerphone on his phone.

"Lu Zhishen," Su Miaoyi called out to him.

"Hmm," Lu Zhishen said. "Let me find a pen. Are you in Jiangcheng?"

"I'm here to accompany my younger brother to his art exam," Su Miaoyi said. "And you? Are you here too?"

Kang Ting held his phone and looked at Su Miaoyi.

"My parents' death anniversary is approaching, so I came back to visit," Lu Zhishen said. "Alright, go ahead and say it."

Su Miaoyi glanced at Kang Ting and immediately said, "Male, around thirty-five years old, between 1.75 and 1.8 meters tall, very strong, not overly muscular, but looks very powerful. His face is not small, a size bigger than your hand, long face, pointed chin."

She paused for a moment to give Lu Zhishen time to draw.

After a while, she said, "Her lips are very thin, there is a mole below the left corner of her lip, her philtrum is rather long, and her cheeks are somewhat sunken. Her nose is very high, hooked, her eyes are a bit small, with downturned corners, and the distance between her eyes is moderate. Her eyebrows are very thick, a bit short, and also slightly droopy. Her forehead is very wide, and the vertical distance is quite standard."

If it's compared to the standard, it's more in line with the three courts and five eyes.

“Her hair is a bit long, styled in a slicked-back way,” Su Miaoyi said. “Her ears are very big. She has three black earrings on her left ear cartilage.”

"Mm," Lu Zhishen responded.

A swishing sound came from the phone.

Kang Ting looked at Su Miaoyi.

You can sense that she understands Lu Zhishen very well and knows how Lu Zhishen writes.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone who cooperated with Lu Zhishen so well and was so efficient.

He had only ever met people who stammered and gestured, unable to describe their appearance.

They had only met Lu Zhishen, who guided them to describe the story carefully, sentence by sentence, using different methods.

As Lu Zhishen drew, he asked, "Were you arrested as a suspect?"

Su Miaoyi: "You could have chosen not to ask."

"How did you get caught?" Lu Zhishen asked curiously. Su Miaoyi glanced at Kang Ting and then said, "I think the scenery in the woods outside Jiangcheng is quite nice, so I want to go there and become an elf."

Kangting: "."

"Don't you want to become a beautiful fisherman in the river anymore?" Lu Zhishen asked.

Su Miaoyi: "."

Lu Zhishen said, "Alright, it's finished. Send it over for a look."

Kang Ting immediately took a look, and then showed it to Su Miaoyi.

Su Miaoyi glanced at it and said, "It's him."

Kang Ting was surprised again, and then he drew it.

Su Miaoyi and Lu Zhishen became more and more familiar with each other, so their cooperation improved.

Now that it's drawn, it rarely needs any modifications.

"Yes, is there anything else I can help you with?" Lu Zhishen asked.

“Not for now,” Kang Ting said.

"Okay." Lu Zhishen said to Su Miaoyi again, "I'll treat you to dinner once you've cleared your name."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Kang Ting sent the portrait back to the police station.

Su Miaoyi said, "The swimming pool at Fengjiang Club is the primary crime scene. Those kinds of clubs are usually members-only, and ordinary people can't get in. Moreover, if someone is killed at a club, getting them out would be a problem. There are surveillance cameras inside the club, so we can check them."

Kangting glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Su Miaoyi sensed his hesitation.

Even at this moment, his suspicions about her seemed to intensify.

Su Miaoyi's eyelashes blinked slightly.

Kang Ting and Lu Zhishen were very familiar with each other. Lu Zhishen's casual conversation just now was also to help reduce the suspicion and doubt about her in Kang Ting's mind.

A few words shouldn't have deepened her suspicions.

Is it because of Fengjiang Club?

Is this club on Kang Ting's blacklist?

He suspected she worked at the club.

Su Miaoyi followed them back to the police station.

She didn't go back to the interrogation room, but she didn't leave the police station either. She couldn't contact the outside world and didn't know how the case was progressing.

She and Cheng Jue were together, staring at each other wide-eyed.

Cheng Jue had many questions he wanted to ask her, but he was worried that asking too many questions in this place would cause her trouble, so he could only keep them to himself.

Su Miaoyi sat at the table, resting her chin on her hand, thinking about the scene she had witnessed.

The primary location was the swimming pool at Fengjiang Club.

Shen Yanzhou once said that Jiang Junrui was the second young master of Fengjiang Group.

This Fengjiang Club is probably also owned by his family.

Shen Yanzhou also said that Jiang Junrui's family business was not clean.

It seems that Jiangcheng is not a peaceful place.

She looked ahead, analyzing the situation, and after a while, her gaze settled on Cheng Jue's face.

Cheng Jue noticed she was staring at him and touched his face. "Is my face all bruised?"

Su Miaoyi looked at him.

Cheng Jue moved back a little, worried that she might come up with some new trick to mess with him.

"You're getting more and more handsome," Su Miaoyi said.

Cheng Jue: "Did you only realize how handsome I am after being locked up here?"

Su Miaoyi nodded: "Indeed, people are better able to appreciate the beauty around them when they are calm."

"Am I usually blurry-eyed?" Cheng Jue asked.

“It’s not as clear as it is now,” Su Miaoyi said.

Cheng Jue turned his head to the side, not wanting to talk anymore.

Su Miaoyi felt relieved after realizing she had angered the person.
