"I... how could I know him?" Jiang Moli denied it outright and quickly looked away from the portrait. She wanted to look into Xu Moran's eyes, but out of guilt, she didn't dare.

Unbeknownst to her, Xu Moran had already confirmed that she recognized the person in the portrait from the very first instinctive "Ah." Everything she did afterward, such as placing the portrait in front of Jiang Moli to make it easier for her to see clearly, was to further confirm her guess.

Jiang Moli's reactions all confirmed one thing: she not only knew the man in the portrait, but she was also more than just a casual acquaintance.

In front of Xiao Chen, Xu Moran certainly wouldn't press Jiang Moli for answers.

Jiang Moli is easily embarrassed, so we need to be considerate of her feelings.

Xiao Chen showed the portrait to Xu Moran to ask for her opinion. According to Zheng Heping, he would only confess what happened between him and his female subordinate if they found the murderer who beat him last night.

Upon hearing this, Xu Moran sneered, "Xiao Chen, we are the police station, we only handle criminal cases. Adultery and cohabitation are issues that are not within our jurisdiction."

She was implying something, reminding Xiao Chen that it wasn't important whether Zheng Heping confessed or not what happened between him and his female subordinate. Because relationships between men and women, as long as no one dies, are a moral issue. This is a police station, and Zheng Heping is here because his female subordinate's husband called the police. This matter should be handled in the right direction.

Xiao Chen wasn't stupid; Xu Moran only needed a little effort to understand, and he immediately had a sudden realization.

He was about to head to the interrogation room with the portrait, intending to handle things in the right direction, when Xu Moran called him back.

When Xu Moran told him that he wanted to leave the portrait behind, Xiao Chen looked surprised. "Officer Xu, what do you need this portrait for?"

Xu Moran said irritably, "The person in the portrait looks exactly like my ideal partner. I'll keep it and give it to the matchmaking agency later so they can keep an eye out for me, okay?"

Xiao Chen scratched his head awkwardly, "Of course, Officer Xu, I'll leave it with you right now."

After placing the portrait on Xu Moran's desk, he added, "Officer Xu, is one enough? If not, I'll print some more and bring them up."

Xu Moran let out a long breath. "Xiao Chen, I don't understand this. Are you really not understanding, or are you just pretending?"

Xiao Chen looked at Xu Moran with a completely bewildered expression, his honest face telling Xu Moran that he truly didn't understand.

Xu Moran exhaled again, looking at Xiao Chen with an expression that said, "If you're going to save someone, go all the way."

Xiao Chen was quick-witted enough that he ran to Xu Moran's side before she even waved him over, asking humbly, "Sister Xu, why won't you let me take the portrait downstairs?"

Xu Moran patted Xiao Chen's shoulder forcefully, his expression serious. "Xiao Chen, this portrait was created by computer based on Zheng Heping's account. When you did this, you were telling Zheng Heping that he was an innocent victim, that you were helping him find the person who abused him. He completely forgot that the reason he can't leave yet is because his subordinate's husband insists that he raped his wife. If you show this portrait to Zheng Heping again, don't you think you're putting the cart before the horse? Besides..."
