Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 421: Crime Hunting Illustrations 10

"You gave me the idea, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of drawing bones for people," Shen Yi said with a smile.

The two looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

"Uh, well, I'll go interrogate Chen Mingfeng first." Du Cheng said, then picked up his drawing board and left.

An Yingqiu placed her other hand on Shen Yi's shoulder as well: "Let me massage your shoulders, you must be tired after drawing for so long."

After pressing for a while, Shen Yi took the hand that was resting on his shoulder and said, "Okay, sit down. You've had a busy day too."

Shen Yi was slightly surprised to find someone sitting on his lap. Fearing she might fall, he quickly reached out and put his arm around her.

An Yingqiu laughed teasingly: "Didn't you tell me to sit down? The stool is a bit far away, how am I supposed to get there if you pull me along?"

Shen Yi sighed helplessly, "What you said makes sense."

Just then, Du Cheng pushed the door open: "By the way, how did Chen Mingfeng manage to impersonate three different people?"

Before he could see the two of them clearly, An Yingqiu reacted quickly and stood up straight.

The person who came in was her superior, and she sensed that Shen Yi was a little nervous, so she tried to maintain a good image.

Shen Yigang was a little nervous because someone came in, but now he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was mainly embarrassed because people saw the two of them being so intimate during work hours.

Upon hearing Du Cheng's words, Shen Yi began to analyze: "Let's go and see what they found in Chen Mingfeng's house."

The three went to the evidence room and saw that Chen Mingfeng brought back mostly pig's trotters and konjac from his home.

Shen Yi picked it up and looked at it: "Konjac contains a lot of gelatin. After processing, it can be combined with gelatin produced by boiling pig's trotters to imitate the color and texture of real leather."

After he finished speaking, he planned to take the tools and start by preparing a mold in the shape of Chen Mingfeng.

While Shen Yi was busy, An Yingqiu and Du Cheng went to investigate other clues.

Once you know it's the same person, it becomes much easier to find out.

Li Han discovered that Chen Mingfeng's college entrance examination scores had been stolen by Hua Muyao's fiancé, and that Hua Muyao's father was also involved in the scheme.

Furthermore, they obtained the letter Chen Mingfeng wrote to Hua Muyao, and Shen Yi analyzed that the stroke order and emphasis of Chen Mingfeng's and Wen Jing's handwriting were the same.

After all the evidence was thoroughly investigated, Chen Mingfeng had no way to refute it and confessed to the crime.

With the case closed and things settled, everyone could finally go home.

An Yingqiu drove Shen Yi home. Both of them were a little tired and didn't plan to go out today.

"I need to go back and catch up on my sleep; I'm feeling unwell from staying up late these past two days."

Shen Yi took a deep breath and smelled the invigorating scent in her car to keep himself from falling asleep: "Go back and take a bath before you sleep to relieve your fatigue."

"Ah."

An Yingqiu originally wanted to take a bath, but she suddenly remembered the plot, so she quickly took a bath and went to the next room.

She knocked on the door a few times, and when no one answered, she took the spare key that Shen Yi had given her and opened the door to go inside.

"Shen Yi!"

Not hearing a response, An Yingqiu went into the bathroom and, sure enough, heard the sound of water inside.

"Shen Yi, I'm coming in."

The bathroom door was open, and An Yingqiu walked in. She saw Shen Yi suddenly float up from the bathtub, breathing heavily.

"What's wrong with you? Trying to drown yourself?" An Yingqiu's voice was teasing.

She knew Shen Yi's situation and deliberately spoke like that to distract him from his emotions.

Shen Yi only snapped out of his daze upon hearing her voice, wiping the water from his face: "Why are you here?"

An Yingqiu made up a random excuse: "I was a little hungry and wanted to ask you if you wanted something to eat, but you didn't answer the door when I knocked, so I just came in by myself."

"I can't eat right now." Shen Yi was still feeling a bit down.

An Yingqiu sat down beside the bathtub, her voice gentle: "Can you tell me about it?"

Shen Yi remained silent for a while before slowly recounting the events of that year.

Everyone in the bureau knew about Lei's situation, but Shen Yi mainly talked about it.

He had fallen into the sea and was unable to draw anything, nor could he remember the woman who had come to him with a picture of Lei Jun as a child, asking him to draw what Lei Jun looked like as an adult.

Because he couldn't find the person who killed Lei, Shen Yi felt that he was largely responsible, and he developed psychological problems.

After listening to him finish speaking, An Yingqiu didn't say anything, but looked at him and said, "Is this your way of seducing people with a wet body?"

"Wh-what?" Shen Yi's suppressed emotions were immediately pulled out by her sudden words.

He glanced at his soaked clothes; his white T-shirt was completely transparent after being soaked through.

Shen Yi quickly stood up, grabbed a bath towel, and wrapped it around himself. An Yingqiu laughed and said, "Take a shower first, or you'll catch a cold."

After saying that, she stood up, picked up Xiaoxuan from beside her, and walked out of the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

After taking a shower, Shen Yi realized that his clothes were soaked and there was only a bath towel in the bathroom.

He hesitated for a long time before calling out to someone outside the door: "Yingqiu!"

After calling out several times without receiving a response, Shen Yi had no choice but to go out wrapped in a bath towel.

An Yingqiu went back to her own home to get ingredients, intending to cook some noodles at Shen Yi's place.

I had just returned with my things and opened the door when I saw Shen Yi coming out wearing a bath towel.

He was shirtless. Normally you wouldn't tell that he's the type who looks slim in clothes but muscular when undressed, with obvious muscle definition, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist.

The bath towel wrapped around his waist looked precarious, giving one the urge to tear it off.

After admiring her figure, An Yingqiu smiled and said, "Nice figure."

Shen Yi's face flushed slightly upon hearing her words. He had already felt a little uncomfortable because of her scrutinizing gaze: "I'll go change my clothes first."

Watching the person hurry into the room, An Yingqiu smiled and looked away, then went into the kitchen.

She was cooking noodles when she saw Shen Yi walk in after changing his clothes.

"I cooked some for you too, have some."

Shen Yi nodded: "Okay."

He seems to have recovered quite a bit now, so it seems that An Yingqiu's method of diverting his attention was effective.

Do you want to remember?

Shen Yi was about to get a bowl when he heard her words and understood what she meant.

When he was talking to her earlier, An Yingqiu had abruptly shifted his attention. Now, seeing that his mood had recovered, she finally spoke up.

Shen Yi nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I want to draw that person." This was his unresolved issue.

"I can use hypnosis. If you trust me, I can try to help you remember."

In order to spare Shen Yi some suffering later, An Yingqiu decided to help him anyway.

"Okay, I believe you." Shen Yi smiled gently.

Just like her initial trust in herself, regardless of the outcome.

An Yingqiu smiled and said, "Okay, let's start later."

After eating the noodles, the two of them washed up again and came to the sofa feeling refreshed.
