Is it really true that your police squad is so good at solving cases?

Listening to Zhou Cheng's request, Zhuang Yi didn't know what he wanted that for.

Was he planning to draw the murderer's likeness based on the neighbors' descriptions of their appearance?

That was indeed a method, but the neighbors' descriptions of the murderer varied greatly!

They had tried this method back then, but after showing the resulting sketches to those neighbors, they all said it didn't look like him.

Therefore, they had abandoned that approach!

He hadn't expected that Zhou Cheng would also want to use such a method now.

"Zhou Cheng, you want to draw a portrait, right? We've tried that before," Zhuang Yi spoke up.

"Mine is different," Zhou Cheng replied.

It was indeed different!

Zhou Cheng wasn't just drawing a portrait.

He would combine various clues from the case files with photos of the scene, using his criminal psychological profiling ability to draw the murderer!

The similarity of such a sketch would be much more reliable than one drawn simply by listening to neighbors' descriptions!

Hearing this, Zhuang Yi thought about it and still chose to let Zhou Cheng give it a try!

So, he had someone bring over sketching paper and a pencil!

...Scribble, scribble, scribble.

After finished reading the case files, Zhou Cheng's mind worked rapidly, analyzing the murderer's psychology while simultaneously beginning to draw based on the records of the neighbors' descriptions of the murderer's appearance!

Seeing Zhou Cheng's serious expression, Zhuang Yi also became solemn.

He stood behind Zhou Cheng, carefully watching the portrait gradually take shape in Zhou Cheng's hands!

His heart grew increasingly shocked!

Because the person Zhou Cheng was drawing was someone he had seen ten years ago while investigating this case!

It was exactly the same!

It was just that at the time, they hadn't investigated him as a suspect!

At this moment, Zhuang Yi was certain that there were no photos or even any information about this person in the case files.

Therefore, Zhuang Yi was sure that it was impossible for Zhou Cheng to have known about this person beforehand!

As soon as Zhou Cheng finished drawing, Zhuang Yi couldn't wait to start questioning him!

"Zhou Cheng, this person is the murderer? Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. Besides, Captain Zhuang, looking at your expression, you saw him back then?" Zhou Cheng said.

Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Zhuang Yi nodded quickly.

"I did see him, and I even chatted with him for a bit back then. I remember he was just an ordinary person working over there!"

"He looked ordinary and seemed very honest. I didn't expect him to actually be the murderer!"

Zhuang Yi said that if Zhou Cheng had drawn a portrait of someone he had never seen before, he might have been skeptical of Zhou Cheng's drawing!

But now, the person Zhou Cheng drew was someone he had actually seen back then! That made the credibility very high!

Thinking of this, Zhuang Yi immediately made arrangements!

"Conduct a network-wide comparison immediately. Find this person quickly!" Zhuang Yi said seriously.

The previously skeptical Police Officers around him also became serious!

They quickly followed Zhuang Yi's arrangements and went to execute the orders!

At the same time, seeing Zhuang Yi's serious demeanor, they were all muttering in their hearts!

"Wait, is Zhou Cheng's portrait really useful?"

"Looking at Captain Zhuang's reaction, could Zhou Cheng really have drawn him?"

"Holy crap, are we even going to have a job as Criminal Police? For a ten-year-old case, he drew the murderer's portrait just by looking at the files and the neighbors' descriptions?"

"..."

They immediately got busy.

Others looked toward Zhou Cheng!

If Zhou Cheng solved this case too, it would be another huge achievement!

It's just, you're from a Public Security Brigade, is it really okay for you to be this good at solving cases!

Of course, everyone was just shocked; there was no jealousy!

They shared the same thought as Zhuang Yi: as long as the case could be solved, it didn't matter if Zhou Cheng was a regular officer or even just an auxiliary officer, they would be happy!

"Captain Zhuang, well, this is as much as I can do by combining the case files. I'll head back first. Once you catch the person, you can interrogate them. If anything comes up, you can find me directly at the public security team," Zhou Cheng said, standing up.

It was already 2:30 PM by then.

If he didn't go back, Zhao Yier would come looking for him again!

"Alright, wait, let me take you back," Zhuang Yi nodded, then quickly added.

Regardless of whether the person Zhou Cheng drew this time was the real murderer or not...

Just based on Zhou Cheng's ability, the Criminal Investigation Team would definitely need his help in the future!

"It's fine, it's just next door. I can walk back myself," Zhou Cheng declined.

But he couldn't win against Zhuang Yi and ended up being escorted back to the Public Security Brigade!

After Zhuang Yi left, Zhao Yier and the officers of the first team all looked toward Zhou Cheng.

"Captain Zhou, what's the situation?"

"Captain Zhou, you were out at noon. You didn't go to the Criminal Investigation Team to solve another case, did you?"

"That's right. Captain Zhuang from the Criminal Investigation Team said there was a case, so I went over to take a look! Then I drew the murderer!" Zhou Cheng said casually, looking completely nonchalant.

Although these words were simple, they left everyone present incredibly astonished!

Fine, fine, fine! You went over for a look and then just drew the murderer!

As expected of Captain Zhou!

If this case was solved too, then in the short time since he arrived, he would have helped the Criminal Investigation Team solve two cases.

Is this the Innate Police God Holy Body!

...Two days passed in a flash!

Zhou Cheng's life was particularly comfortable, especially since there was no one in the manor to disgust him anymore.

This allowed him to return every day to challenge the decadent life of a capitalist, and it truly let him enjoy himself!

As for Zhou Yuanbo, he was currently recuperating in the hospital. A childhood friend from his hometown had come to Shanghai and had been playing chess with him for leisure lately.

Zhou Cheng planned to visit the hospital tomorrow, Saturday.

As for Zhuang Yi's case, after the technical department's network-wide comparison, they quickly found the man!

Then, plainclothes officers went to his door to make the arrest!

Originally, the police didn't have evidence of his crime yet and only brought him to Shanghai for interrogation and investigation!

Unexpectedly, as soon as the plainclothes officers arrived, showed their badges, and mentioned the case, the other party confessed immediately.

Clearly, all those years of hiding had put immense psychological pressure on him, causing his inner resolve to break!

This result was a pleasant surprise for Zhuang Yi!

After learning the outcome, he immediately ran to the Public Security Brigade to share the good news with Zhou Cheng!

"Zhou Cheng, don't worry. Even though you're from the public security team, you're the one who solved this case. I've recorded all your credit!" Zhuang Yi could not suppress the joy in his heart!

"It's fine, I didn't do it for the credit," Zhou Cheng replied!

[Host assisted the Criminal Investigation Team in solving a cold case. Reward: police force value +5000! Disguise Skill]

[Disguise Skill: Allows the Host to perform better plainclothes operations. Under normal circumstances, no criminal can see through your disguise!]

The reward for this case was quite good!

Especially since besides the police force value, there was actually a skill reward!

This was definitely a nice little surprise!

Without thinking much, Zhou Cheng claimed it directly.

Then he looked at Zhuang Yi.

"Captain Zhuang, I know that even if I applied to join the Criminal Investigation Team now, you guys wouldn't take me. But as long as the Criminal Investigation Team has a case that needs my help, you can find me anytime!"

"Even if there's no credit, it's fine," Zhou Cheng said seriously.

His eyes were full of desire for rewards.

Listening to Zhou Cheng's words, Zhuang Yi admired and respected him more and more!

For a son of a wealthy family, being able to join the police force was already good enough.

He didn't expect him to be so selfless and dedicated now; it was truly admirable!

He really was different from other wealthy heirs!
