Chapter 31
Jiang Nan looked at the messy "portrait" in his hand.
"Lin Anyu, what did you draw?" Jiang Nan handed the paper back to her and said, "I don't understand."
"If you don't understand, just take it. You are the one who needs this, not me."
Lin Anyu’s patience was almost exhausted, and without waiting for Jiang Nan to reply, she quickly walked into the hospital.
Jiang Nan quickly put away the portrait and followed quickly.
Arriving at the obstetrics and gynecology department, Lin Anyu showed his police ID to the nurse on duty first.
"Hello, could you please give us the information of pregnant women who came to the hospital for examinations from June to December last year?" At this point, Lin Anyu further refined the information, "The ages are roughly between 18 and 26 years old."
"Okay." The nurse on duty quickly searched on her computer.
Jiang Nan reminded quietly: "Little mascot, Pei Shen said that the deceased was 20 years old."
"I know," Lin Anyu said confidently, "but I don't think he's right."
Jiang Nan, who didn't understand what was going on, asked: "Huh?"
Lin Anyu did not answer him. She saw the young nurse pulling up the information. She turned her head to look over, and after taking a look at them one by one, her expression remained indifferent.
As if she didn't find what she wanted, she stood up and said to the nurse, "Thank you for your cooperation. Thank you."
"You're welcome." The young nurse responded blankly.
Jiang Nan bowed politely to the young nurse several times and quickly followed Lin Anyu.
Not sure if it was because this “Lin Anyu” in front of him was too confident, but Jiang Nan couldn’t help but trust her.
The little mascots stopped barking.
"Lin Anyu, isn't there the person we are looking for here?"
Lin Anyu kept walking and making “hmm” sounds.
Jiang Nan was puzzled: "But this is our largest hospital in Beihai. Many pregnant women who are about to give birth will choose this as the hospital to test their babies."
Lin Anyu didn't say anything. She asked calmly, "Do you know of any hospital that's not well-known but has a very good pediatric department?"
Jiang Nan shook his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't have children, how can I know."
Lin Anyu glanced at him indifferently, then stopped.
Jiang Nan followed her and stopped, asking in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Lin Anyu put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't say this in front of Meng Qirang."
After saying that, he left quickly.
Jiang Nan stood there, watching Lin Anyu leave, and instantly blushed: "Whether I have a baby or not is none of Meng Qi's business."
-
The criminal police of Beihai Criminal Police Team were divided into two groups by Jiang Aichen. One group searched along the route of the underground pipeline according to what Lin Anyu said, and the other group was responsible for connecting with the portrait artist.
The task of finding the portrait artist naturally fell on Gu Beizhi and Jiang Aichen.
They walked out of the criminal police team and turned to approach a nearby street flower shop.
"Welcome."
Accompanied by a sweet greeting, a boy with snow-white skin walked out from the corner hidden by the bouquet of flowers.
He has short brown hair, thick bangs that cover his forehead, and a delicate baby face, and looks very obedient no matter how you look at him.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" Shen Dihao asked with a smile.
Who would have known that as soon as he finished speaking, the expression on his face instantly drooped.
He impatiently threw the flowers in his hand into the bushes beside him.
His previous obedient appearance immediately disappeared, and he walked to the front desk carelessly, picked up the mobile phone placed there, and started playing the game he was playing.
Judging from the appearance, he probably sensed someone coming and pretended to be obedient to trick others.
Jiang Aichen frowned.
The front desk was not close to the corner where he appeared, but he was able to immediately put down the game on his mobile phone and run to the corner and pretend nothing had happened, which shows how good his hearing and reaction are.
Shen Dihao controlled the "little man" in the phone to perform various big move emission actions, and asked impatiently: "Why are you here?"
Gu Beizhi seemed to be used to his attitude. He said, "I heard that you opened a shop in front of the police station, so I came here to take care of your business."
Shen Dihao knew that he would not be so kind: "I have opened the store here for a week, and you have never come once. Now tell me, are you here to take care of the business? You are kidding."
Gu Beizhi was not annoyed at all. He patiently explained: "I didn't intend to lie to you. I just wanted to be polite to you."
Shen Dihao snorted, "When did you become so fake? And you're still being polite? Tell me, who do you want me to draw again?"
Jiang Aichen placed the photo of the corpse he had taken on Shen Dihao's desk and said, "Draw her."
Shen Dihao glanced at it nonchalantly and said perfunctorily, "I can't draw it."
Jiang Aichen: "Why?"
Shen Dihao seemed to be playing rogue: “No reason, maybe it’s just that my level is limited.”
Gu Beizhi seemed to have guessed that Shen Dihao would not cooperate, and he said without any context, "I saw her."
"Who did you see?"
"The person you came here to see." Gu Beizhi said calmly.
Jiang Aichen was about to stop him, but Gu Beizhi stopped him unnoticeably.
Shen Dihao was very defensive: "Why should I trust you?"
"I can call her." Gu Beizhi signaled Jiang Aichen to call Lin Anyu.
Jiang Aichen didn’t know what Gu Beizhi was doing, but he still obediently called Lin Anyu.
On the other side, Lin Anyu and Jiang Nan were rushing to the next hospital.
Lin Anyu, who was driving, received a call from Jiang Aichen and answered the call: "Hello."
"Captain Song, someone wants to talk to you."
It was Gu Beizhi’s voice.
Lin Anyu was stunned: "Who?"
"Young Master Shen." Gu Beizhi said.
Lin Anyu seemed to understand something instantly.
It must be that the eldest daughter princess is in a bad mood again.
Lin Anyu: "Give him the phone number."
"good."
Lin Anyu turned on the loudspeaker, and Jiang Nan's heart was in his throat as he listened to the conversation between the few people.
Taking advantage of the time when no one was talking, he asked in a low voice: "Lin Anyu, you are not going to pretend to be Song Luo again, are you? You will be recognized."
"Won't."
Lin Anyu finished speaking confidently, and it was obvious that there was a different person on the other end of the phone.
He said excitedly, "Boss, is that you?"
"It's me." Lin Anyu said while driving.
Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Shuhao burst into tears instantly: "Boss, I haven't seen you for three years, and you are still alive!!!"
Lin Anyu: “…”
It’s only been three years since we last saw each other. If she’s not alive, could she be dead?
Lin Anyu was silent for a while, then replied: "I haven't seen you for three years. Are you dead?"
Shen Shuhao: "That's not the case."
Lin Anyu didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with him and directly stated his purpose: "Jiang Aichen and the others should have given you the photos."
There was an obvious sound of flipping through photos coming from Shen Shuhao's side. He paused for a few seconds and then said, "Well, give it to me."
"Draw the portrait, it's urgent." Lin Anyu ordered.
"Okay," Shen Shuhao agreed readily, "five minutes."
"Um."
Lin Anyu responded and hung up the phone.
In the back, Jiang Nan asked terrified: "Lin Anyu, you..."
Before Jiang Nan finished asking, Lin Anyu seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and she quickly answered, "I don't know him."
"Ah?" Jiang Nan obviously didn't expect that she knew what he was going to ask before he even asked the question.
Lin Anyu drove calmly: "Your question is nothing more than who I am, or whether I know the person who called just now."
"From your expression, I guessed who I was. You didn't doubt me, and you were just curious about whether I knew them."
"Yeah," Jiang Nan nodded, but still asked his doubts, "You don't know them, how did you communicate so skillfully?"
"Have you heard of the recency effect?" Lin Anyu asked half-seriously.
"Yeah." Jiang Nan nodded. "My teacher talked about it when I was in school."
Lin Anyu explained: "The recency effect refers to the phenomenon that in the process of a person forming an overall impression of another person or thing, recent cognition has a greater impact than long-term cognition."
"When Gu Beizhi called me, he first said 'Captain Song', which revealed my identity. Then he said someone wanted to talk to me on the phone, which was a hint for me to use the same trick I had used to trick them in the conference room to trick the person who would answer the phone later."
"When I asked who it was, I was asking about the relationship between the person I was about to deal with, Song Luo."
"He said it was Young Master Shen, which means that Young Master Shen is very familiar with Song Luo."
Jiang Nan listened without saying a word.
Lin Anyu continued, "At this time, due to Mr. Shen's previous perception of Song Luo, the primacy effect will hinder my performance, so I can use the recency effect. In other words, when the original impression has faded, the newly acquired individual impression will have a greater impact on people's cognition, until it covers the previous impression and forms a new cognitive standard."
Lin Anyu glanced at Jiang Nan in the rearview mirror and continued, "What I mean is that as long as I hint enough, he will think I am normal no matter how different my personality is. He will even automatically make up for it if I accidentally make a mistake in my words in the future."
Jiang Nan: “Oh.”
After Lin Anyu finished explaining, she parked the car in the hospital parking lot.
"Come down." Lin Anyu took off his sunglasses and said.
"Oh, okay."
Jiang Nan followed Lin Anyu obediently.
The two of them walked into the obstetrics and gynecology department. As usual, Lin Anyu showed his police ID and stated his purpose.
While the nurse was looking for information, Lin Anyu leaned against the front desk, looking around the hospital.
This is a small hospital. It is not very large, but the environment is clean. The white walls are slightly yellowed and look old.
"Found it." The nurse handed three pieces of information to Lin Anyu and explained, "These three meet the requirements. One of them is 25 years old, and the other two are both 22 years old."
Lin Anyu took it and read it carefully.
Until she saw the one-inch photo of the 25-year-old young mother's profile, her eyes suddenly stopped.
She placed the information at the front desk, pointed to the photo and asked the nurse, "Do you have any impression of her?"
Jiang Nan was curious, so he took a step forward and glanced at the photo.
The young mother in the photo has a pair of bright and watery almond eyes, and her cute fangs are revealed in her slight smile. At first glance, she looks honest and cute.
The nurse leaned forward, and after seeing the photo, she suddenly realized: "I have an impression."
Lin Anyu: “Tell me about it.”
The nurse said: "In fact, there are many young pregnant women who come to our hospital for examination. Usually we don't even think about remembering them. But this one left a deep impression on me."
The nurse continued, "Whenever she came to check, it was always at night. She and her mother-in-law would come when our hospital was about to close."
Lin Anyu asked casually: "Why not my husband?"
"Maybe her husband doesn't like her," the nurse looked around and then gossiped carefully, "When she first came, I found that the way she looked at people was wrong. She was timid as if she was afraid of something. And she listened to her mother-in-law very much. When her mother-in-law asked her to sit down, she would not stand. Every time someone passed by her, she would stare at them. If someone turned around to look at her, she would grab the corner of her mother-in-law's clothes and hide behind her."
"We, the nurses on duty, talked about this for a while, wondering if this new mother had some mental problems."
Lin Anyu's eyes darkened and he said nothing.
Thump thump——
Jiang Nan's phone rang a few times, and a photo was sent to the branch group.
Jiang Nan glanced at the pop-up window on his phone: "Lin Anyu, the portrait has been sent."
"Well," Lin Anyu said uninterested, "Let's take a look."
Jiang Nan clicked on the photo, but before he could show it to Lin Anyu, his movements suddenly stopped.
He looked at his cell phone, then at the information that Lin Anyu had just placed on the table.
How is that possible?
How could they be so similar?
The portrait wasn't sent over just now, so how did Lin Anyu know that the sweetly smiling new mother in front of him was the deceased?
It’s amazing!
Noticing that Jiang Nan was staring at him, Lin Anyu guessed what the picture in the photo looked like.
"It's her, right?" Lin Anyu asked casually.
"Yeah." Jiang Nan nodded woodenly.
Lin Anyu held up the information and placed it in front of himself.
Look at the basic information above.
——Su Cheng, female, 25 years old.
