Jiang Si was not surprised at all by this result.
In later years, she was at least a graduate of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and besides, she had just observed that person's appearance up close.
If the drawing doesn't look like the real thing, then all those years of painting training have been for nothing.
At this moment, the two police officers who had spoken earlier were the happiest of all.
After gathering the others and deploying the arrest operation, the older police officer didn't forget to give Jiang Si a word of advice.
"Young comrade, the carriage will be quite chaotic in a while, so you should stay in the dining car for a bit."
Jiang Si understood what he meant and nodded to indicate that she knew.
However, the arrest operation did not go as smoothly as expected.
Because the train was severely overloaded, and the passengers kept moving around, the police officers had to split into two groups and, under the pretext of checking tickets, began to check passengers who resembled those in the sketches one by one.
Strangely, they searched the entire carriage but couldn't find the person.
Director Li of the Public Security Bureau stared at the portrait in his hand, looking at it again and again: "Could the problem lie in this portrait?"
I heard that the girl who was painting spoke with the other person for less than a minute.
In such a short time, it's hard to know how much the people in the painting resemble the real people.
Captain Wang of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, the older police officer from earlier, shook his head upon hearing this.
"We've already questioned the team members who played against 'West Wind,' and they all identified him as the one!"
That's really strange, there's nothing wrong with the portrait.
There are only a dozen or so carriages in total, how could there be no one?
"Is it possible that he jumped out of the car during the chaos?"
Captain Wang shook his head again. This train was a direct express train, with a minimum speed of 60 kilometers per hour. Only someone who didn't want to die would jump off the train.
Moreover, all the hard-seat carriages were full and overcrowded today. If he had really jumped, the passengers in the other carriages would have noticed long ago.
Captain Wang was certain, "He's definitely still in the car."
"But the train will stop in Hangzhou in forty minutes. If he gets away this time, it will be difficult to catch him again."
"I know."
Captain Wang sighed; this was his biggest worry right now.
However, the team members had already used the excuse of checking tickets to check them from beginning to end.
If the same reason is used now, the passengers will probably cause a scene.
At that moment, Jiang Si suddenly opened the door of the dining car.
"Captain Wang, why don't you let me give it a try?"
She overheard bits and pieces of their conversation from inside.
Since this person was able to remain hidden in mainland China for nearly ten years, it means that his counter-surveillance awareness must be exceptionally strong, so he has most likely already disguised himself.
Even if he changes his clothes, hairstyle, and skin color, a person's eye shape, eye spacing, pupil color, and size cannot be changed in a short period of time with the current level of technology.
Jiang Si said, "I drew the portrait. No one knows his facial features better than me. As long as he is still on the train, I am confident that I can find him."
"As for security, you don't need to worry."
"I'm only responsible for finding the person; the arrest is up to you."
In other words, even if Jiang Si finds this person, she won't alert him.
With little time remaining, Director Li and Captain Wang agreed after a brief discussion.
"Young comrade, what should we do now?"
Jiang Si didn't stand on ceremony; she asked the food truck staff to help her find a set of work clothes.
She then brushed some of her combed-up bangs down, leaving a thin layer that just covered her eyelids.
Then she took out a light-colored foundation from her handbag and brightened her complexion by one shade.
Finally, it was time for lip rouge. Jiang Si applied a little bit to her cheeks and gently patted it on with her fingers, instantly giving her a rosy complexion.
Of course, she didn't do this to show off.
The main concern was that the other party might recognize her, which could lead to desperate actions and disrupt the arrest operation.
When Jiang Si came out after changing into her work clothes, Director Li and Captain Wang almost didn't recognize her.
Is this the same dusty-faced little girl from before?
How come I came out looking at least five years younger after going in for less than five minutes!
Jiang Si didn't have time to explain and quickly put on a sanitary mask.
After clearing her throat, she pushed the dining cart toward the hard-seat carriage.
There was no such thing as overloading in those days, especially in hard-seat carriages. Not only were the aisles full of passengers carrying large and small bags, but some people were even sleeping under the seats with newspapers on their backs.
"Come on, pull your legs in a bit~"
"Comrade, could you please move a little further in? Okay, thank you."
"Do you need peanuts, sunflower seeds, soft drinks, or boxed lunches? If so, please prepare some change in advance."
As Jiang Si lowered her voice to hawk her wares, she glanced around at the passengers on both sides of the road.
I walked through several carriages without finding my target, but I did encounter quite a few passengers who wanted to buy boxed lunches.
The boxed meals on the train don't require tickets, and each one contains a generous bowl of rice.
The portions of meat dishes are also very generous, so most people choose to buy one meat dish and one vegetable dish.
By the time they reached the eighth carriage, there were very few boxed meals with meat left.
"Waiter, how much is the boxed meal?"
"One meat dish and one vegetable dish is 35 cents, two vegetable dishes are 20 cents."
"Okay, give me a box with one meat dish and one vegetable dish."
“I want a box too, just like him.”
Both passengers hurriedly handed over their money. Jiang Si quickly took the money from the one who spoke first, and then said to the old lady queuing behind her.
