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

Chapter 414: Crime Hunting Illustrations 3

"The sound when I knock on this wall seems a bit off," An Yingqiu said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi walked over from the side and said, "There's something wrong with the structure of this house; there must be a hidden space."

He was holding a piece of paper with a structural diagram of a house drawn on it. Du Cheng took it and looked at it for a while before returning it to him.

Shen Yi squatted down, shaving some pencil shavings onto a piece of paper. He held the paper close to the wall, and the pencil shavings were immediately blown away. "The hidden space is in this wall."

He Rongyue also spoke up, saying that this method indeed proved that there was a hidden space inside.

Jiang Feng knocked on the wall: "So how do we open it and get in?"

An Yingqiu and Shen Yi remained silent, their gazes fixed on the painting on the wall beside them.

Although she knew the plot, her mental power allowed her to see the mechanisms and designs inside the wall.

Shen Yi had some suspicions, and he would always observe the paintings first wherever he went.

Everyone's gaze turned to the painting, and He Rongyue looked at it and said, "Girl with a Pearl Earring."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi said, "Everyone thinks these are pearl earrings, but they are actually just two specks of white paint."

After he finished speaking, he saw An Yingqiu reach out and press her hand on the white object. At that moment, a door opened in the wall behind them.

The others looked inside, their attention drawn to the environment.

Shen Yi glanced at the door behind him and looked at An Yingqiu curiously: "How did you figure out that was a mechanism?"

"After hearing what you said, I saw that there were worn marks on the white paint, so I tried it," An Yingqiu said.

Shen Yi had also made a guess, but she wasn't as quick to react as Shen Yi: "You're very observant."

"You too." Seeing that everyone had gone inside, An Yingqiu followed them into the dark room.

Her character in this world is characterized by her excellent skills and keen observation, so even though she knows the plot, she maintains the proper boundaries.

It won't completely change the protagonist's rhythm, but she will be more perceptive than the average person.

The room was dimly lit and ambiguous. Judging from the environment and the tasteful decorations, it was a place that could not be seen by anyone.

He Rongyue looked around inside and said, "There must be a lot of signs of life here, everyone be careful."

Each had their own task. An Yingqiu saw Shen Yi looking at the paintings on the wall, so she went to have someone take away the CDs from the drawer.

Back at the team, everyone watched the surveillance footage together, and a woman wearing a mask on the screen looked suspicious.

Du Cheng asked in confusion, "At this hour, all the doctors have gone off duty. Why is she still going to the hospital?"

After saying that, he thought for a moment and added, "The time she left the hospital coincides with the time the deceased died."

This could be the murderer, so everyone keeps watching the surveillance footage, trying to see what the person in the footage looks like.

"But it's covered up too tightly, we can't see anything!" Jiang Feng frowned.

Shen Yi looked at the monitor and said, "I can draw her."

Just as Jiang Feng was about to raise a question, An Yingqiu interrupted him, saying, "Wait, let's stop here."

Looking at the surveillance footage, the woman disappeared as soon as she left the hospital; something's definitely not right here.

The officer controlling the surveillance immediately stopped it. Du Cheng looked at it and said, "Disappeared into thin air? What did you see?"

An Yingqiu was quiet for a while before saying, "This surveillance footage looks like it has been switched. There's a slight pause in the image for about a second, but it's not very noticeable."

She has a keen eye, so even if she knows there's a problem, she certainly won't miss those subtle differences.

Hearing her say that, everyone paid closer attention to this aspect.

Shen Yi, who was quite perceptive, also had his eyes light up as he looked at them:

"Although it was nighttime, there was indeed a slight pause of one second. The replaced surveillance footage does show differences in color tone and smoothness."

Upon hearing this, Du Cheng looked at the footage several more times: "Contact the technical department to see if it can be restored, and also check with the hospital to find out who the staff members who had contact with the surveillance footage that day."

"I'll go right away." Jiang Feng immediately went out to investigate.

Having made some progress with the surveillance, the group moved on to examine the discs.

Thinking about the contents of those CDs, An Yingqiu felt like she needed to do something else and decided to go to the restroom.

Just as she was about to leave, Du Cheng called out to her, "Yingqiu, why don't you go and take a look too?"

An Yingqiu paused in her steps as she was about to walk to the side.

After Du Cheng finished speaking, he went into the office next door. Shen Yi smiled gently and said, "You have a strong sense of observation. Go and see if there are any problems."

"Then let's go take a look." An Yingqiu thought that since she couldn't avoid it, she could only go in and take a look.

As soon as the two walked in, they saw the ambiguous scenes and sounds in the video.

Thinking about how he had asked someone to come and see this, Shen Yi felt his ears burning slightly for a moment, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to normal.

An Yingqiu, on the other hand, remained calm, as if she were watching a normal TV drama.

After watching for a while, a police officer who had been watching for quite some time said, "After watching so many videos, why do they all seem to look the same?"

"Same mold, same hands, aren't they all the same?" Du Cheng was also dizzy from looking at it.

An Yingqiu picked up the documents on the table and looked at them: "The people in the video are all after plastic surgery, but the documents are their pre-surgery information."

Shen Yi thought of something, turned around and went out to get the drawing board.

An Yingqiu raised an eyebrow and asked, "You're going to draw them all?"

“Yes, I can draw what they would look like after plastic surgery,” Shen Yi said, sitting down next to Du Cheng and starting to draw.

Du Cheng stood to the side, looking incredulous but remaining silent, his expression quite amusing.

An Yingqiu glanced at the time: "I'll go buy you some food. You can take your time reading."

After saying that, she turned and left. Du Cheng, who had originally wanted to find an excuse to leave, could only stay a little longer.

When she returned with the takeout, Shen Yi was the only one in the office.

"Where's the city team?"

Shen Yi shook his head: "They just went out."

An Yingqiu realized she was hungry, so she started eating right away.

"Shen Yi, why don't you eat something before you start drawing?"

"Okay, thank you." Shen Yi obediently put down her pen.

An Yingqiu raised an eyebrow. No wonder Shen Yi gave people a comfortable feeling; he always seemed very respectful and polite.

After they had eaten their fill, Du Cheng finally returned.

Upon seeing him, An Yingqiu quickly said, "Team Leader Cheng, you go ahead and eat. I'm so sleepy, I need to go back."

"Okay, you can go now." Du Cheng took the meal, turned around, and went back to his office.

An Yingqiu also stood up: "Then I'll go first. Shen Yi, take your time drawing and go home early."

"Okay, take your time on your way back."

The next morning, An Yingqiu had just arrived at the bureau when she heard the latest news.

It turns out that Jiang Feng's investigation yesterday revealed that the person who replaced the surveillance footage was Liu Lianming, a security guard at the cosmetic surgery hospital. Liu has been brought back and is currently being interrogated.
