Huang Lili shook her head and said, "I feel that these are all too ordinary. I came here to change the style and I don't want to be as rigid as before."
The woman said, "How about a different style? Something bolder? Do you have a pattern you like? Our designers can customize it to your liking, but the price will be a bit higher."
Huang Lili casually glanced around at her surroundings, then stared at the sickle on the wallpaper for a moment and asked, "What kind of pattern is this?"
The woman said, "You mean this? The cross-shaped sickle! When we were decorating, we thought this wallpaper was nice, so we chose this wallpaper for people to use. A lot of customers were curious about it."
Huang Lili asked, "Has anyone done this before?"
The woman thought for a moment and said, "There is indeed a woman who makes this style! But I feel that its style doesn't quite suit you. Are you sure you want to make this one?"
Huang Lili nodded and asked, "How well did that woman do it? Can I take a look?"
The woman said, "That's unlikely! That happened months ago."
Huang Lili glanced at Guan Feng subconsciously.
Guan Feng asked calmly, "You must have some customer information, right? To be honest, my girlfriend is quite bold with this design, so I'd like to see how it looks before making a decision."
The woman glanced at Guan Feng and, seeing that his clothes and demeanor suggested he wasn't an ordinary person, reminded him, "This one is custom-made! The process is quite complex, and it costs 998 to make. Since you want to see it, I'll try to find the customer's information."
Guan Feng said, "This is troublesome!"
The woman started searching.
A moment later.
She found the customer's information on the computer.
Name!
Telephone!
Note: Cross-shaped sickle!
The woman said, "It should be her! Let me check if there are any photos from that day."
Guan Feng nodded.
A few minutes later.
Two surviving photos were retrieved.
Guan Feng knew at a glance that the owner of the hand was the victim.
Nothing more!
Footprints can be identified.
The same applies to nail ridges.
Once you delve into the microscopic details, many seemingly identical things reveal differences that cannot be replicated.
Take nail polish, for example!
When brushing vertical lines, the overlapping areas of each layer will inevitably be different.
These can all corroborate the judgment!
Guan Feng asked, "Which technician did your manicure?"
The woman glanced at Guan Feng, looking him over suspiciously, and asked, "You...you're not here for a manicure, are you?"
Guan Feng observed the other person's expression, nodded, took out his work ID, showed it to the other person, and explained, "We are indeed not here to get manicures, officer! This is related to a case. The victim had this sickle pattern painted on his nails. We hope you will cooperate with our investigation."
The woman asked in surprise, "Police? We're just a nail salon, we only do manicures for customers, how could we be involved in a case? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Guan Feng said solemnly, "If we hadn't taken this into consideration, we wouldn't have come here; we would have directly asked you to return to the station to assist with the investigation. We hope you will cooperate now, as this will help clear your name! We will also try our best to avoid escalating the impact."
The woman hurriedly replied, "Okay, then please help us out. There are quite a few customers in the shop."
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Take us to find this technician, and then bring her to the office to ask her some questions."
The woman said, "Okay, okay."
They led Guan Feng and Huang Lili into a studio.
The woman whispered to the nail technician who was doing a manicure for a customer, "Xixi, come here for a moment, there's a customer here who needs to talk to you."
Sisi shook her head and said, "Boss lady, the customers haven't finished yet."
The woman said, "I'll arrange for others to come over. You come with me first!"
She then apologized to the customer, saying, "I'm so sorry, there's something very important at the store that I need to help with. It's delayed your experience. I'll give you your meal for free today, is that alright?"
The customer, who was about to get angry, sat back down, glanced at Guan Feng and the others, and said, "Then arrange a better technician for me."
The group returned to the store's office.
Guan Feng handed over the pattern and asked, "Do you remember this cross and sickle pattern?"
Sisi glanced at it and nodded, saying, "Isn't this the pattern on the wallpaper in our store?"
The proprietress reminded her, "Think again! Have you ever done similar manicures for anyone before?"
Sisi scanned the area carefully and recalled, "I think I did work with someone like that, but it was a few months ago, wasn't it? I remember you were there, boss. What's going on? Is there a problem?"
Guan Feng asked, "Do you remember what happened back then?"
Sisi recalled, "It seems like it was that woman who said she liked the sickle on the wallpaper and asked if I could make it. I said I could, so she let me."
Guan Feng showed his work ID and reminded him, "We are police officers, here to investigate the identity of the person who got their nails done. Do you remember their physical characteristics?"
Sisi recalled for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't remember much, but she should have had long hair and be quite tall, about 1.65 meters."
Guan Feng's brows furrowed slightly.
This physical characteristic is very similar to that of the victim.
The probability that both are the same person has increased.
He looked at Sisi and the boss and asked, "Do you have any photos? Or how long is the surveillance coverage?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I only bought a month's worth of cloud storage, that was at least two or three months ago, it should be useless now, right? Sisi, did you take any photos back then?"
Sisi recalled, "I think I took a picture! But I didn't take a picture of my face, just my hands. Do you want it?"
Guan Feng said, "Provide us with the photos you have first."
Sisi then opened her phone, retrieved the relevant dates, and looked through several photos.
She said, "These are the only ones! Take a look and see if they're correct."
Guan Feng took the phone and, by examining the details of the nail polish application, confirmed that the two were indeed the same person.
He nodded to Sisi and said, "These photos are very useful to us and need to be kept. Lily, add her on WeChat and send me the original photos."
Huang Lili said, "Okay."
Next.
Several close-up photos of the fingernails were sent back.
After confirming that there were no oversights, Guan Feng reminded the two, "I hope you will keep the question from us confidential. It involves a criminal case. If the suspect finds out, he may flee, and the person who leaked the information will also bear corresponding legal responsibility! I hope you will be vigilant!"
The two nodded quickly.
"I see!"
"I won't tell anyone else."
Guan Feng nodded, gave the two a few more instructions, and then left.
