Chapter 85 Kyoto
◎Ji Zhao, you have to help me◎
After leaving Hunan Finance School, Zhao Xiangwan went directly to the Municipal Bureau.
As soon as I entered the office building, I was greeted warmly: "Sister Reading Mind is here?"
After the Jia Shendu case, thanks to Zhu Feipeng's promotion, the nickname "Mind-Reading Sister" spread.
Fortunately, everyone just thinks that she can use micro-expression behavior to guess people's minds and identify lies, and no one suspects that she can read minds.
Zhao Xiangwan nodded with a smile, greeted the police officers from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, knocked on the door of the deputy director's office, looked at Xu Songling sitting behind the large desk, and called out, "Master."
Xu Songling was very happy to see her. He stood up and poured her a cup of tea, motioned for her to sit down, and began to care about her study and life like a parent.
“How are your sophomore major courses going?”
"Are you getting along well with your roommates?"
"Do you have enough meal tickets? Do you have enough money?"
After that, he opened the drawer and took out an envelope and handed it to Zhao Xiangwan: "The murder case of Jia Shendu has been solved. This is the bonus issued by the Municipal Bureau. It is a reward based on merit. You also have 200 yuan. Take it."
Zhao Xiangwan happily took it and put it in his pocket.
I can do what I like and make money at the same time, which makes me feel very satisfied.
After a few pleasantries, Xu Songling finally got to the point: "What brings you here to see me today?"
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "Master, a vicious case occurred at Kyoto University of International Business and Economics. A female college student was murdered on a rainy night. Have you heard about it?"
Xu Songling nodded: "The bureau held a meeting today and asked us to contact the security departments of all the universities and colleges. We must strengthen campus patrols, especially night patrols, to protect the property and lives of teachers and students."
Zhao Xiangwan said: "The girl who was murdered, Wen Qianyu, was the roommate of my friend Jiang Tinglan. Jiang Tinglan, do you remember her?"
Xu Songling thought for a moment and said, "Is it the girl who lived with you for a few days during that summer vacation? You had dinner at home that day, and when I sent you back, she was waiting for you at the gate of the Municipal Bureau."
Zhao Xiangwan hummed.
Xu Songling sighed, "It can't be helped. Please ask Jiang to mourn. Girls should go out with friends at night to avoid accidents."
Zhao Xiangwan directly stated his purpose: "Master, I want to take Ji Zhao with me to participate in the investigation of this case. Do you have any ideas?"
Xu Songling looked at her seriously: "Do you think you are a wandering knight? Do you want to take action when you see injustice? The Kyoto police attach great importance to this case. Their criminal investigation technology team
There are professional criminal simulation portrait artists who are definitely more professional than Ji Zhao. Don't worry, the murderer will be caught."
However, Zhao Xiangwan knew that regardless of whether the painter was involved or not, the case would remain unsolved for more than 20 years.
Zhao Xiangwan continued to persuade, "Master, please let me have a try. I have heard the details of this case from Jiang Tinglan, and several classmates in our dormitory have also discussed it. We think it is more of a passion homicide. As you know, passion homicide is the most difficult type of homicide to detect. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is meaningful for me to learn, right? Didn't you say that I am a criminal genius? Geniuses need more polish, right?
You know Ji Zhao's portrait skills. There are not many criminal portrait painters in our public security system. They can draw portraits based on witnesses' statements, and sketch black and white portraits. If they are 70% or 80% like, it's very good. Ji Zhao is different. He is a talented hyperrealist painter. He can draw the appearance of this person ten or twenty years ago through bone structure, and can also draw the other person's soul based on oral description. Not only is the appearance similar, but what is more rare is the spirit. With his participation, maybe we can make a contribution?"
Xu Songling still refused to give in: "We are a local, and that is Kyoto. I don't have the ability to easily place people in the Xishan District Public Security Bureau."
Once Zhao Xiangwan wanted to do something, he was very determined: "Then you call Director Miao Hui of the Provincial Department and ask her to coordinate. She is from the Criminal Technology Center of the Provincial Department. Send Ji Zhao and me out for internships to help, right?"
Xu Songling was so angry that he laughed: "You are good at commanding people. You asked me to call Director Miao! Aren't you very familiar with her? Why don't you go to the provincial department to find her directly?"
Zhao Xiangwan smiled and said, "You are my master, so of course you have to coordinate this matter."
This flattery was well done. Xu Songling felt refreshed and waved his hand, saying, "You go back first and come home in the evening."
This scene looks familiar, just like in the 1986 version of Journey to the West, when the master saw Sun Wukong late at night and said meaningfully: "You monkey, why are you here, awake in the middle of the night?"
It looks like there's hope! Zhao Xiangwan stopped and saluted, then said "yes" and went back to prepare.
In the evening, Zhao Xiangwan arrived at Zhou Qiaoxiu's house as promised.
It was still the old school building, still with the simple school furniture. The desks, bunk beds, and wardrobes were all made of pine wood, painted yellow, with codes written on them, and could be picked up from the Equipment Section of the Logistics Department.
The biggest luxury in the whole room is a tape recorder placed on the cabinet at the door.
As soon as Zhao Xiangwan entered the house, he heard cheerful and melodious songs coming from the tape recorder.
"Mother's kiss, sweet kiss, makes me miss it till now——"
The singing was interspersed with the childish chorus of little Xu Zhenbao.
Seeing Zhao Xiangwan, Xu Zhenbao ran over with open arms and called out in a crisp voice: "Sister, sister!"
Zhao Xiangwan bent down and picked her up, smiling and asked, "Baby, what did you learn in kindergarten today?"
Xu Zhenbao smiled with his eyebrows curved: "Little conch, blow it..."
Zhao Xiangwan praised: "Great!"
Zhou Qiaoxiu brought her slippers and asked her to change into them: "Xiang Wan, your teacher said you need to take a week off, is that true? You are still a student, you can't delay your studies."
When Zhao Xiangwan heard her words, he knew that Xu Songling had already arranged everything, and he let out a long sigh: "Yes. Teacher Zhou, don't worry, I will go early and come back early, and make up for the missed classes when I come back."
Zhou Qiaoxiu is not a professional teacher. She works as a teaching secretary in the department office and is also the head teacher of the 1991 criminal investigation major. She pays great attention to students' grades and daily performance. I heard from Xu Songling that Zhao Xiangwan was sent to assist in a case, and he also said a few words to him, saying that it was a waste of time. Zhao Xiangwan is only a sophomore. Students should focus on studying. It is not enough to be busy with cases in one summer vacation. It is really too much to ask her to participate in the new semester.
Zhao Xiangwan glanced at Zhou Qiaoxiu and knew what she was worried about: "Zhang Yalan's notes are very good. After I came back, I borrowed her notes to compare with the textbook and study on my own. If there is something I don't understand, I will ask my classmates. If my classmates don't understand, I will ask the teacher for help."
Zhou Qiaoxiu felt relieved after hearing her well-organized arrangements. After giving her a few more instructions, she let her go to the room to talk to Xu Songling.
Xu Songling handed her a letter of introduction and two train sleeper tickets: "You have made a good fate. When Miao Hui heard that it was your idea, she immediately contacted the Kyoto police and issued a letter of introduction, introducing you and Ji Zhao to go to Kyoto to observe and study as interns of the Provincial Department's Criminal Investigation Technology Center. Qin Yongbing, the head of the Criminal Investigation Team and the head of the Serious Case Team of the Xishan District Public Security Bureau, is Miao Hui's friend and the person in charge of this case. You and Ji Zhao will follow him."
Zhao Xiangwan smiled and took the introduction letter and the ticket: "Thank you, Master."
This was the first time that Ji Zhao had been away from home for such a long time, and he was going to Kyoto, thousands of miles away. Ji Jinmao was a little worried. He also had a hotel in Kyoto, so he called the hotel manager to pick him up and arrange for him to stay in the hotel. Everything was arranged properly and in an orderly manner.
October is a golden autumn in Kyoto, with clear skies and crisp weather. It is a great time of year.
When the people at the Four Seasons Hotel in Kyoto saw the black card in Zhao Xiangwan's hand and the manager's instructions, they were naturally respectful and enthusiastic. They prepared a presidential suite facing the lake, which was luxurious, exquisite and comfortable, and opened the eyes of the country boy Zhao Xiangwan.
Ji Zhao was already used to this kind of service, and ignored people coldly. Zhao Xiangwan had heard a lot of people's voices, and was not a warm and gentle person. After the two of them settled in the Four Seasons Hotel, they attracted all kinds of speculations from the waiters.
"Ji? Is he a relative of our president?"
"But the person who got the black card is named Zhao. She is not even 20 years old yet and has such strength. I am so jealous."
"With this demeanor, you can tell at first glance that he is from a wealthy family. Sigh! He is born with a good life."
Zhao Xiangwan opened the closet on one wall and found it was full of clothes, both men's and women's.
Ji Zhao's clothing is elegant and artistic, designed, made or purchased by his mother Luo Danfeng. Luo Danfeng hung up her son's clothes in the closet of the suite in advance for the first time he was away from home. In addition, she specially prepared several sets of simple and pure-colored high-end clothes for Zhao Xiangwan.
Ji Zhao picked out some clothes casually, a white shirt, black pants, and black sneakers. Even the simplest colors could not hide his handsomeness.
He glanced at Zhao Xiangwan, took out a white shirt, dark green thin jacket, and khaki trousers and handed them over. Zhao Xiangwan was not particular about clothes, she would wear whatever Ji Zhao gave her, put on green canvas shoes, looked at herself in the mirror, and looked handsome and neat, and quite nice.
In the evening, the two of them, like a pair of people standing next to each other, appeared at the bottom of the girls' dormitory of Kyoto University of International Business and Economics at the same time.
When Jiang Tinglan saw them after class and returned to the dormitory, her eyes widened. She grabbed Zhao Xiangwan's hand and choked up, "Xiangwan, thank you, thank you!"
Jiang Tinglan couldn't sleep at all these past few days. When she closed her eyes, she could only hear Qianyu smiling and waving goodbye to her. She mechanically went to class according to the schedule, feeling like a wandering soul.
Jiang Tinglan was in deep regret and guilt. She hated herself for not being able to bear the chill at that time and had to leave the study room early, leaving Wen Qianyu alone there. If there were two girls, even if the criminals were fierce, there would be helpers and someone to shout, at least they could survive, right?
她的內心也愧疚無比。自己曾經被拐賣，應該知道這個世界雖然好人多，但壞人就像隐在暗處的毒蛇，趁你不注意就會撲出來咬你一口。怎麽能夠聞倩語讓自己先走，就真的走了呢？為什麽不讓她到家之後給自己打個電話？如果能夠一直等着她的電話，或許就能早點發現她，聞倩語也許就不會淹死在那下水道裏。
在電話裏對着趙向晚宣洩着她的情緒之後，蔣汀蘭根本沒有想到趙向晚真的會來。說實話，蔣汀蘭覺得自己一直在麻煩趙向晚。是她救了自己的性命，又讓自己鼓起了重新開始的勇氣，暑假收留并為自己安排實習機會……現在，因為蔣汀蘭想要向晚幫她，早點找到兇手，趙向晚真的來了！
蔣汀蘭壓抑不住內心洶湧的感動與慚愧，緊緊抓住趙向晚的手，嘴裏喃喃道：“我總是麻煩你，總是在麻煩你。以後，以後只要用得着我的地方，肝腦塗地，在所不惜。”
趙向晚笑着說：“你從哪裏學來的江湖黑話？還肝腦塗地。”
蔣汀蘭一會哭一會笑，但一掃剛才頹然之勢，先打電話通知聞倩語母親，然後堅持要請趙向晚、季昭吃飯。趙向晚沒有拒絕，随她一起在食堂吃了飯，引來一群人好奇的目光。
季昭早就習慣旁人注目，面不改色，保持高冷姿态。趙向晚給他什麽，他就吃什麽，自在随意。大學食堂也好、公安局食堂也罷，哪怕是在四季大酒店，他也就是這個樣子。吃什麽并不重要，重要的是他能陪在趙向晚身邊。
蔣汀蘭感嘆道：“向晚，你真的把季昭帶來了？”
趙向晚點頭。
蔣汀蘭問：“季總能放心？”
趙向晚笑了笑，神态很輕松：“我在，有什麽不放心的。”
話音剛落，季昭點點頭。
【是，向晚在，我也挺放心的。】
小雲雀啾啾啾地叫了兩聲，以示支持。
趙向晚看着蔣汀蘭眼底的陰影、眼中血絲：“我倒是不太放心你。”
一句話，又引出蔣汀蘭的眼淚。
趙向晚溫柔勸慰：“聞倩語已死，我們還活着。別再自責，你沒有錯，錯的是那些作惡的人。我們要做的，是打起精神來，把那個試圖藏在人群裏、像沒事人一樣活着的畜牲揪出來！”
說到後面，趙向晚的聲音漸漸提高，帶着憤怒與力量。
蔣汀蘭的眼睛裏漸漸有了亮光，是啊，自己這幾天一直在不斷自責、愧疚，為好人沒好報而痛苦糾結。可是……有罪的人是那個殺人兇手，該忏悔、下地獄的人是那個畜牲！
“向晚，你說得對。”蔣汀蘭站了起來，整個人有了精神，“走！聞倩語的媽媽應該已經過來了，我帶你們見見，多了解一下案情。”
見到聞倩語的母親時，趙向晚的內心一陣酸澀。
聞倩語今年剛剛大三，今年剛滿二十歲，她母親應該也只有四十多歲。可是在宿舍樓底下見到的饒湘，卻佝偻着腰，頭發花白，眼角下垂，嘴角布滿細密的法令紋，看着足有五十來歲。
女兒被害，令饒湘差點崩潰。一顆慈母心煎熬疼痛，如果不是內心還剩下一個執念：把兇手繩之于法，她恐怕早已和丈夫一樣，躺在病床上昏迷不醒。
只要是能夠把殺人兇手揪出來，饒湘絕不放過任何一個機會。
饒湘不住嘴地說着感謝，沒有因為趙向晚、季昭的年輕而有半分輕視。
“我帶了倩倩的一些照片過來，你們還需要了解些什麽？有什麽辦法可以找到兇手？只要能夠把壞人抓住，不讓他再傷害別的姑娘……”姑娘二字一出口，饒湘再也抑制不住內心的悲傷，聲音變得哽咽起來。
“我家倩倩是個好孩子，她很懂事，很體貼我們。她是學國際貿易的，和她爸爸商量着出國留學，學了本事回來和外國人做生意，賺外國人的錢。她為了學好英語，考個好成績拿獎學金，真的很努力地學習。我沒有想到，就那個晚上，她說她要做完聽力測試再回家，我沒有，我不知道她要回來！如果知道她晚上回來，下雨天我肯定會和她爸爸一起到車站去接她的，別說下雨，就是下刀子我們也會去啊。”
趙向晚看着眼前即使悲傷，依然保持體面的母親，心裏一片悲涼。
趙晨陽曾經說過，眼前這個母親，在二十幾年之後案件偵破時，沒有對警方有半分埋怨，而是不停地說着感謝，感謝警方不懈的努力與堅持，感謝這麽多人還記得自己的女兒。她或許忘記了，警方之所以如此堅持，正是因為這位母親二十幾年如一日地詢問、記挂。
每隔一段時間，饒湘便會帶着吃食來到西山區公安局，給忙碌的警察分着這些食物，溫柔地關心着他們的身體，臨走之前含着淚問一句：“害死我家倩倩的人，抓到了嗎？”
沒有哪一位警察，面對這樣的受害人家屬，會不動容。
經辦此案的警察都記得這個案子，哪怕退休了，也會交代接手的同事：“哪怕再難，你們也要記得把這個案子的所有資料都收好，只要發現比對成功的DNA，一定要查下去！”
趙向晚之所以如此堅決地要來插手這個案子，不僅因為同為女生，激起義憤，更因為眼前這位母親的堅持、堅韌與偉大。
從來都不喜歡與人身體接觸的趙向晚，慢慢走上前，展開雙臂，溫柔地擁抱着饒湘，聲音堅定無比：“您放心，我們大家都來幫您，一定要把兇手抓住！讓他血債血償！”
年輕女孩子的馨香将饒湘包圍，仿佛自己的女兒回到身邊，饒湘的眼淚緩緩滑落，擡起手回抱住趙向晚：“好。”
【謝謝你，你們都是好女孩，和我家倩倩一樣，是很好很好的女孩。倩倩雖然不在了，但你們一定要活得漂漂亮亮、健健康康。】
大家情緒穩定之後，趙向晚在饒湘、蔣汀蘭的帶領下來到兇案現場。
傍晚，無雨，夕陽灑下一大片金色，為這個美麗的校園染上美麗柔光。
高大的教學樓矗立在夕陽餘晖之下，開敞、寬闊的門廳以一種博大寬容之姿，看着年輕的大學生們背着書包、抱着課本進進出出。
曾經的恐怖之夜，沒有在這裏留下一絲陰霾。
聽着蔣汀蘭的講述，來到作案現場，趙向晚的腦中漸漸有了罪犯的輪廓。
教學樓一樓南向教室的開窗面積很大，沒有安裝窗簾，晚上亮起燈的話，站在教學樓前面的空曠廣場，能夠清楚看到教室裏的人。
趙向晚問：“那天晚上的雨，大嗎？”
蔣汀蘭點了點頭：“我們剛出門的時候，雨還不大，後來到了八點多的時候，就大了起來。我記得當時擡頭一看，外面黑漆漆的，雨打在玻璃上，發出嗒嗒嗒的聲音。”
趙向晚看她一眼：“你說之所以九點時起身離開，是因為只穿了件短袖，感覺到冷。既然出門發現下雨，為什麽不穿件外套？”
蔣汀蘭垂下眼簾：“我，我只有一件薄外套，那天洗了，還沒幹。”
解決了一個疑問之後，趙向晚繼續問，
“那天聞倩言穿的是什麽衣服？”
“她穿了件黑色針織小背心，外面披了件白色披肩，下面穿的是條牛仔褲。”
“鞋子呢？”
“系帶子的白球鞋。”
照片上的聞倩語，中等個，身材健美，凹凸有致，渾身上下充滿着青春氣息，的确很吸引人。
站在教學樓前的花壇，看向教室。教學樓比室外地坪高出60公分，三個臺階進入門廳，窗戶邊沿離室內地坪90公分。趙向晚挪動腳步，不斷變幻位置，終于停在一個花壇邊沿：“想要看清楚教室裏坐着的學生，這個人個子很高，估計……”
趙向晚拖過季昭來，問他：“你看得清楚靠窗戶那一行同學的長相嗎？”
【能看到胸口位置。】
季昭點了點頭。
趙向晚道：“兇手個子很高，大約一米八左右。”
蔣汀蘭連連點頭：“是的，是的，警察過來偵查，在下水道附近草叢發現腳印，也說過類似的話。現在我們學校裏一米八左右的男生都很緊張，為了自證清白甚至要求全都去做DNA檢測，進行比對。”
對了，苗慧組建的刑事技術中心，是從京都引進的最先進DNA檢測技術，那京都西山區公安局這方面的技術水平應該非常高。聞倩語被強.奸，體內留有對方精.液，就有了DNA樣本。正是這一個重要線索，才讓懸案能在二十幾年之後得以偵破。
确認對方身高之後，趙向晚繞到教學樓發現屍體的下水道附近。
這裏拉起了警戒線，有學校保安守着，不讓閑雜人等靠近。
遠遠看過去，下水道位于教學樓北面，從後門出來之後有一條水泥路，兩邊種着花花草草。不過因為位于U型建築的內側，平時疏于管理，花草間雜草不少，下水道就掩藏在這裏。
這裏的确是個管理漏洞，平時沒什麽人走，保安根本不會注意到這裏，兇手從教學樓南面進入，怎麽就能發現位于北面的下水道？難道這個兇手是個熟悉建築設計的人？
想到趙晨陽說，兇手是外地人，在附近打工，趙向晚有了一個初步的想法：有沒有可能，這個兇手在建築工地打工，熟悉建築水電設計？
将這個念頭記下，趙向晚問蔣汀蘭：“那個和兇案嫌疑人打過照面的馮姓保安呢？”
蔣汀蘭帶她走進教學樓，一樓保安室裏坐着兩個保安。見到蔣汀蘭和饒湘，其中一個保安趕緊起身，臉色有些警惕：“你們有什麽事？”
蔣汀蘭詢問：“那個姓馮的保安呢？”
問話的保安說：“你說的是馮兼烈吧？他今天被警察帶走，協查辦案，估計一時半會回不來。”
趙向晚一聽便明白過來：看來，馮兼烈是協助警方畫像去了。現在刑偵畫像師隸屬于刑偵技術組，根據目擊者的口述畫出犯罪嫌疑人的肖像。這個工作是個水磨功夫，需要繪圖出來之後，請目擊者打分，指出不足，然後修改，以上流程反複不斷，直至最後目擊者認為很像，這才确認畫像，複制後發布協查令，四處張貼。
像季昭這種畫筆一揮，形神兼備的，實在是少數。
見不到馮兼烈，趙向晚打算先查看一下犯案現場。教學樓門廳很寬敞，足有兩百多平方米，門廳正對着保安室，左後方是主樓梯口，右前方是朝北的後門，走廊左右兩側是教室。在走廊盡頭轉彎，形成一個“U”字型，廁所和疏散樓梯都在走廊盡頭。
趙向晚按照兇手的行進路線，自門廳進入。
趙向晚皺眉問：“保安室正對着大門，坐在那張桌子前，一擡頭透過玻璃窗就能看到外面的動靜，那個馮兼烈到底在做什麽？怎麽什麽也沒看見？”
蔣汀蘭苦笑：“保安室有時候就是個擺設，我們進教學樓的時候難得看到他們坐在桌子前面，多半都在牆角那個沙發那裏打瞌睡，或者幹脆人都沒在保安室，溜達到外面去扯閑篇。就算認真坐在桌子那裏值勤，他們也是低頭看報紙、雜志，怎麽可能真的像電視裏演的那樣，眼睛盯着每一個從外面走進來的人？”
趙向晚從南面走進門廳，轉而向左，順着走廊進入聞倩語、蔣汀蘭那晚進入的自習教室，這個教室靠近主樓梯口，那名兇手将聞倩語打昏之後拖進樓梯口的雜物間，強奸之後将聞倩語扔在雜物間，自己則前往位于走廊西頭的廁所，清理衣物。正撞上過來上廁所的馮兼烈，被喝問之後慌張跑開。
“嫌疑人往哪個方向離開的？南門還是北門？”
嚴格意義上來說，主教學樓并沒有門，南門、北門指代門廳開口的兩個方向。
蔣汀蘭搖頭：“你看這條走廊，很暗。保安忙着上廁所，也沒在意這個人是往哪裏跑的。”
趙向晚說：“他跑出廁所之後順着走廊往前，北面出口是最先到達的，應該是從這裏出去，所以留意到了下水道位置。走到一半之後，不知道為什麽又折返回來，悄悄潛進雜物間，把聞倩語拖出來，搬開井蓋，把她塞了進去。”
蔣汀蘭面色煞白，緊緊抓着饒湘的胳膊，仿佛要從饒湘那裏汲取能量，支撐着她聽完案件過程還原。
趙向晚皺眉分析：“兇手力氣很大，易性.沖動，行事利索，觀察力強，這樣的人，不管在哪行哪業，只要肯努力，應該都能出頭，為什麽要進入大學校園對一個女孩施暴？”
唯一能夠解釋的，或許只有“激情殺人”四個字。
無意間走進大學校園，無意間看到一個健美青春少女，無意間産生沖動，行事之後害怕被人發現，于是計劃毀屍滅跡。
根據趙晨陽所說，這個兇手的确狡猾，若不是二十多年之後他一個親戚犯了事，恐怕他會一直逍遙法外，開着他的小公司、過着他的小日子，曾經做過的惡事，仿佛從來沒有發生過。
想到這裏，趙向晚心中燃起熊熊憤怒之火。
只可惜趙晨陽這個家夥看電視只記了個大致梗概，關鍵細節并沒有記下來。要是她能知道兇手名字或者家庭住址，搜索範圍和難度就要小很多很多。
肩膀上有沉甸甸的責任壓下來，趙向晚捏着拳頭，轉頭看着季昭：“季昭，你要幫我。”
【好。】
季昭眼中閃着明亮的光芒，仿佛天邊夜空最美麗的星星。
第二天，趙向晚帶着介紹信來到西山區公安局，與刑偵隊隊長秦勇兵碰頭。
秦勇兵是苗慧的朋友，苗慧特地打電話與他溝通過，因此态度很溫和，帶着他們來到負責這個案子的重案一組。
和趙向晚熟悉的環境很類似，秦勇兵兼任重案一組的組長，組內成員簡單介紹了一下，年紀較長的兩個笑容可掬，頗有點長者風範。
“李寄，叫我老李就好。”
“範文光，叫我老範就好。”
【難得來兩個漂亮的年輕人，養養眼也是件開心的事。女大學生被殺案千頭萬緒，忙得直跳腳，多派點人來是好事，只希望不是來鍍金的。】
兩個年輕的愛理不理，上下打量了趙向晚、季昭一眼，從鼻子裏發出一聲輕哼。
“歐陽鼎。”
“孫岫。”
【湘省省廳也真有意思，派兩個實習生過來觀摩學習？這麽大的案子，純粹就是搗亂。要不是秦隊堅持，早讓他倆滾蛋了。】
一個穩重、斯文，戴眼鏡的中年警察，托了托架在鼻梁上的黑框眼鏡，微笑着說：“蕭海，歡迎。”
【漂亮倒是漂亮，就是不知道頂不頂用。】
趙向晚挨着個地打招呼：“李警官、範警官、歐陽警官、孫警官、蕭警官，你們好。我是趙向晚，他是季昭，這回我們過來，是想參與聞倩語被殺案，希望能夠得到你們的支持，謝謝。”
歐陽鼎擡了擡下巴，态度略顯傲慢：“季昭，他怎麽不自我介紹一下？”
趙向晚微笑解釋：“他是市局特聘專家，刑偵畫像師。他有語言障礙，不能說話，但能聽到。如果需要交流，由我代勞。”
“哈！”孫岫打了個哈哈，“這麽年輕的特聘專家？咱們局裏也有位刑偵畫像師，寧清凝，聽說過沒？那才是真正的專家呢。”
【真是好大的口氣！上來就說自己是專家，真不知道是誰給的底氣！唉，年輕人，沒經過事，吹牛皮不打草稿啊。】
趙向晚眼中閃過一絲光亮，沒有再講客氣。自己和季昭初來乍到，如果脾氣太好，恐怕很難迅速介入到案件偵破之中。
她上前一步，鳳眼微眯，看定孫岫：“是騾子是馬，拉出來遛遛？”
孫岫斜着眼睛看着趙向晚，覺得這小丫頭有點意思，頓時來了興趣：“你說，怎麽遛？”
趙向晚道：“我們剛來西山區公安局，認得的人不多。不如你們說一個你們熟悉、但我們肯定沒見過的人，描述他的長相，季昭來畫，看看畫得像，行不行？”
孫岫和歐陽鼎昨天陪着寧清凝畫了一整天的肖像，可是那個姓馮的保安總是搖頭：“不太像，有點點像，好像也不是這樣……”畫稿改了一遍又一遍，卻總是不滿意，正是心煩意亂之時，突然聽到趙向晚的挑戰，對視一眼，同時站了起來：“行！”
【我倒要看看，這個天上掉下來的刑偵畫像師是什麽路數。】
【老寧專門進京都美術學院學了兩年素描，又刻苦練習畫像，一年裏畫了上萬張肖像，那水平拿到公安部也是數一數二，連他都畫不好，難道這個季昭比他還強？】
孫岫與歐陽鼎交換了一個眼神，開始口述某個人的長相。
“這個人，三十歲，個子中等，微胖。”
“國字臉，下巴有點圓。”
“很深的雙眼皮，大眼睛，喜歡觀察人，看人的時候特別專注。”
“鼻子有點大，鼻頭微圓，鼻子右邊這兒，有個小小的黑痣。”
孫岫與歐陽鼎說到這裏，所有人似乎都知道他倆說的是誰，一齊笑了起來，你一言我一語地補充着。
“嘴唇比一般人厚一點，喜歡抿着，看着有點嚴肅。”
“眉毛嘛，很普通的那種眉毛，哦，對了，眉尾有點散。”
“短頭發，頭發有一點點自然卷，額角這裏有個旋兒。”
季昭安靜聽着他們的話，卻沒有動筆。臉上什麽表情都沒有，低下頭慢吞吞地挽衣袖。
孫岫看季昭根本不像是在聽大家說話的樣子，便催促道：“快畫呀，你在等什麽？”
趙向晚看着季昭。
Ji Zhao rolled up his sleeves, reached out and patted the back of her hand gently.
【Don't worry, I'll help you. 】
Painting is something that is deeply engraved in Ji Zhao's bones. Since Xiang Wan wants him to become famous, then let him do it.
Ji Zhao's skin was as white as jade, and half of his arms were exposed, which was so dazzling that it hurt the eyes of the men.
[How can this person look like a police officer? ]
【An expert in forensic portraits? A movie star, perhaps.】
【What is he doing? 】
Under the watchful eyes of a group of criminal police, Ji Zhao sat at the table, picked up a piece of A4 white paper from the table, raised his right fingertips slightly, and looked at Sun Xiu.
Sun Xiu was shocked by Ji Zhao's attitude of taking over the guest: "What do you mean?"
【Pen.】
Zhao Xiangwan heard Ji Zhao's clear voice and raised his lips: "If you want him to paint, you have to give him a pen."
Sun Xiu said, "You need sketch paper and charcoal pencils to draw a portrait, right? Don't you have them?"
[Any pen will do.]
Zhao Xiangwan repeated Ji Zhao's words: "Any pen will do."
