Arriving at the crime scene, Bai Nuo found the place where the eyewitness was hiding on the day of the incident. He squatted there and looked at the place where the accident happened, staring at it motionlessly, occasionally lowering his head to write and draw in the sketchbook.

Pang Guowei just stood there quietly, as the team had other things to do. After all, Liu Yanan was the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, so it was not convenient for him to go to the scene with her at this time, so he had to stay in the bureau.

"Captain Pang, do you still remember the position of the moon at that time, and the weather conditions that night? Were there any clouds blocking the light?" After about twenty minutes, Bai Nuo looked up at Pang Guowei and asked softly.

"This... is also related?"

Pang Guowei considers himself a rough man. Although he has studied for more than ten years and worked as a criminal police for ten years, he may not have achieved very high cultural achievements, but he is definitely not illiterate. However, when it comes to artistic knowledge such as painting, he really knows nothing about it and has no idea what the relationship is.

Bai Nuo smiled and nodded, explaining patiently: "The witness was squatting in this position, about seven or eight meters away from the suspect. In addition, both parties were at a corner at the time, one high and the other low. There was a certain visual difference for the people on the opposite side. In addition, this alley was relatively dim at night, which had a greater impact on vision. It is said that the face seen would also undergo a great change, and it could even be visually restored to the extent of the other person's face.

Light also directly affects visual deviation. Based on this series of influences, the suspect's face must be twisted to the most favorable angle to draw the suspect's true face."

Pang Guowei's head was buzzing as he listened, as if he didn't understand, but also as if he understood.

However, none of this mattered. As long as the new member of their Criminal Investigation Technology Department, Bai Ke, could draw a person and let him memorize these artistic knowledge, he would not hesitate.

"Wait a moment, let me think about it. This place is not far from our bureau. I occasionally come here at night." Pang Guowei said as he thought carefully. The weather has been good recently, and the trajectory of the moonlight is similar every night.

Based on past experience, and combined with the time stated by the eyewitnesses...

Pang Guowei raised his hand and pointed to a spot in the sky. "It was almost right here. When the witness saw the suspect that night, the moonlight was almost right here. The weather was beautiful, the sky was silent, and there were many stars. Yes, that's right. That night, I was working the late shift with a few colleagues and chatting in the yard. I even looked at the stars for a while."

Bai Nuo followed Pang Guowei's hand and looked up at the sky, then imagined the situation at night and the shadows that would appear when the moonlight projected onto the ground and into the alley.

"Okay, thank you, Captain Pang."

"No, no, thank you for the hard work, Bai Ke."

Bai Nuo squatted there and painted for about ten minutes. The pen in his hand moved very quickly, and he would turn to a new page every few minutes. The paintings on each page looked the same, but there seemed to be many subtle differences.

But the painting style of each page has a dim feeling, and the content is a dim alley with a figure standing at a corner, and the face gradually becomes clear from blurry.

Pang Guowei looked at it for a long time but still couldn't understand it, especially since Bai Nuo's painting was basically the night scene of the alley they were in. There was also a person in it, but... his face couldn't be seen clearly at all.

However, Pang Guowei has never been an overbearing and arbitrary leader. He firmly believes in one thing, that is, professional matters should be left to professionals, and laymen who don’t understand should do more and talk less. Blind orders should never be given, otherwise it will not only be embarrassing, but also make things worse.

Therefore, even if Pang Guowei didn’t understand, he would definitely shut up and wait for the consequences.

Besides, they now have too few clues. Based on the vague descriptions of the witnesses, it is understandable that Bai Nuo cannot draw a picture.

Although he is anxious, it is understandable!

After Bai Nuo put away her pen and stood up, she looked at Pang Guowei with a smile. In such a short time, the two of them didn't communicate much, but she had basically figured out the character of this criminal investigation team leader.

I have to say, it is very comfortable to work with such people.

They are rational, steady, principled, polite, and have boundaries. When dealing with circles they don't understand, they will try to understand them, politely ask for advice without being offensive, but will not be overly bossy.

I guess anyone who meets such a colleague will feel comfortable and will be more proactive in doing things.

Bai Nuo is very patient with such people and never makes things difficult for them.

At that moment, Bai Nuo readily gave the other party a time limit.

"Captain, I have no problem here. I will hand over the portrait to you tomorrow morning after returning to the bureau."

"It'll be fine tomorrow!"

"That's right. Because of the visual aberration issue, if we want to draw the suspect's true appearance, we have to carefully refine and correct it bit by bit. That's why it will take a while. The earliest we can draw it is tomorrow morning."

Looking at Bai Nuo's confident look, it seemed that the portrait he would bring out tomorrow morning would definitely be the real suspect.

Pang Guowei felt that he should have been doubtful, but for some reason, looking at the bright, brilliant, yet determined eyes of the little girl in front of him who was not even eighteen years old, his heart suddenly settled down.

An inexplicable sense of trust arises naturally and is irresistible.

Pang Guowei is also a straightforward person. Having worked as a criminal policeman for so many years, he has always trusted his intuition.

His intuition told him that if this overly young criminal investigation technician was trustworthy, then he must be trustworthy.

"Okay, let's go back now. Thank you for your hard work, Baike. Once the case is solved, I will definitely ask the director for your commendation."

Bai Nuo smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

The two of them drove back to the bureau quickly. After arriving at the bureau, Bai Nuo simply told Liu Yanan that he would not be going back that night and asked her to tell Fang Meng in the afternoon, and then he went straight into his studio.

In the studio, the two huge windows were bright and clear, with blackout curtains hung on them that Bai Nuo had previously ordered.

The curtains were drawn tightly at this moment, and two warm yellow lights were on in the room. There was a circle of easels on the left side, and a little girl in a white lapel shirt and black trousers was sitting on a high painting chair.

Her slender fingers subconsciously turned a paintbrush, and her shoulder-length hair was casually tied behind her head with a pencil.

On the small square table next to it, which was used to distribute tools, a small white skull was held in the hands of the little girl, like a particularly large and fine walnut for ornamental purposes, and also like the source of inspiration for the little girl. Her left hand would subconsciously hold the small skull for a while, and her right hand holding the paintbrush would make a few strokes on the drawing board.

Coupled with the warm yellow light, the row of skulls of different sizes on the storage rack behind him and a complete skeleton next to it.

This whole studio looks like it has an eerie feeling, as if it is connected directly to the underworld.
