Chapter 48 Profile Portrait

Li Feng drove Xu Zhizhi back home and added Xu Zhizhi's contact information. Xu Zhizhi sat in the passenger seat and tilted her head to look at Li Feng.

Xu Zhizhi was still sorting out the thoughts that popped up in her mind. The sudden thought shocked even Xu Zhizhi herself.

She didn't understand why she had such thoughts. She had nothing to do with this matter. She just saw the human bones when she passed by.

Out of a sense of civic responsibility, I just called the police!

Shouldn't she be a good citizen who bravely does what is right? !

If there were a court now, Xu Zhizhi would definitely be crying and shouting that she was wronged.

She didn't think her idea was ridiculous, because Qin Su and the previous experience of drawing US dollars had already given her sufficient preparation.

She kept looking at Li Feng who was driving the car, wanting to say something but hesitant, but in the end she didn't ask. In the eyes of Li Feng and others, she was now just a suspect, and even if she asked, she wouldn't get any useful answers.

Initially she did not think she was being interrogated, but later she recalled their strange attitude, the vague questioning and eye contact.

The atmosphere between them was not like the atmosphere when he helped Qin Su, but more like taking the suspect to a crime scene to see how the suspect reacted, and if the reaction was wrong, he would be interrogated more.

After she calmed down and thought about it, she suddenly realized the source of the sense of disharmony. She had realized it several times before, but each time she had been interrupted, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

They were silent all the way until Xu Zhizhi got off the car and waved goodbye to Li Feng, but she didn't ask.

She had no resentment, just like how Qin Su looked at her. They were just suspicious and did not do anything excessive. They had their own principles and would not convict themselves at will, Xu Zhizhi believed this.

No matter who is suspected, they will not let go of the suspect. This will happen to all suspects.

She is not special, there is no need to panic.

But what Xu Zhizhi was most curious about was why they suspected her. She wouldn't just call the police, they must have known some key point.

Watching Li Feng's departing car, Xu Zhizhi sighed.

After entering the set, Xu Zhizhi sat down and checked the time. There was still half an hour before filming began.

The police are not allowed to ask about the case. The crew, who are shooting a criminal drama, know this principle better. No one asked Xu Zhizhi, she sat down to rest for a while and continued the previous scene in the yard.

There are personal parts and some exchanges and dialogues, mainly conversations revolving around the plot.

The most important thing about this case is that the villagers did not cooperate and avoided talking about anything. They even kept silent about the fact that the peasant woman was raped by her cousin.

When the farmer's daughter and son were asked, they all said they didn't know or were not sure.

According to the local police investigation, they did not avoid talking about it after the farmer woman was raped. They even talked about it loudly, mocking the farmer woman for finding someone to call the police and alert her family.

There was no sign of restraint at that time, until the peasant woman was forced to kill the two scums.

Why is it that when the serious crime squad takes over, these people learn to keep their mouths shut?

Wen Qing, Fang Cheng and Jiang Ningfu gradually discovered that there were some secrets hidden in this case during their investigation.

And these things are the key to them learning to shut up.

Originally, they were going to investigate the scene, get evidence and leave. But now that they have discovered something new, they naturally want to stay and investigate.

Of course, the main reason was Wen Qing, who hated evil and felt that she could investigate the case carefully and if there was a chance of a turnaround, she would try to get a lenient sentence for the peasant woman and give her a life sentence.

If he behaves well, he can be released from prison in fourteen or fifteen years.

I was curious about what was going on, so I continued investigating.

As for Jiang Ningfu, she was purely a person of pleasure. She was even happy that a peasant woman who could cruelly release her nature was given leniency outside the law.

So she was very happy to stay, and the three of them stayed at the village chief's house.

After a day of investigation, the three returned to the dormitory and sat down to review the information they had obtained today.

On the floral kang, Jiang Ningfu and Wen Qing changed into pajamas and sat on the kang, looking at Fang Cheng who was sitting next to them and soaking his feet.

Wen Qing spoke first: "I asked the neighbor next to Li Jiao's house whether she heard the dismemberment. What do you think she said?"

Jiang Ningfu and Fang Cheng looked at Wen Qing with puzzled eyes.

Wen Qing said with an angry and somewhat embarrassed expression: "She said that she wanted to sleep with us at night and that she didn't have time to listen to those nonsense."

Fang Cheng was stunned. He made up this excuse for fear of being asked more questions.

"The people I investigated were similar. When they mentioned Li Jiao, their demeanor changed automatically. Some pushed and shoved, some cursed, and their behavior was very extreme." Jiang Ningfu lowered her eyelashes to hide the interest in her eyes. She rested her hand on the bed and touched her lips with the other hand, and said curiously.

Fang Cheng thought for a moment and analyzed: "Generally, this kind of behavior, in addition to the need to protect interests, is to maintain reputation or cover up crimes."

Li Jiao confessed to the dismemberment case. These people only need to tell the truth, why do they do this?

"The problem probably lies with Li Jiao. This person probably has something that affects the safety or interests of most people in the village. They are afraid that what they say may not match what Li Jiao said, so they forbid anyone from telling anyone about it." Wen Qing said with a flash of inspiration.

The other two nodded slightly, thinking that Wen Qing might be telling the truth.

If they analyzed it this way, they could completely focus their attention on Li Jiao. They could even use Li Jiao's determination to die to make her reveal the secret.

At this time Fang Cheng suddenly said: "Actually, there is still one person who can make a breakthrough."

Jiang Ningfu and Wen Qing looked at Fang Cheng together, wondering who else in the village could make a breakthrough.

"Village chief!" Fang Cheng directly said a person's name under the gazes of the two people.

The two looked at each other in confusion. Wouldn't this person be better at protecting the people in the village?

Fang Cheng looked at the two people's puzzled expressions and said directly, "I checked the records. The village chief was the one Li Jiao asked to call the police. The one who called the police after the body was dismembered was also the village chief. The person who discovered the dismemberment was not the village chief."

"Based on this, there is a possibility that the villagers may not want to call the police."

Jiang Ningfu looked up at Fang Cheng and added, "Also, we have overlooked a problem. Li Jiao may not be calm enough to live with a corpse, but she herself cannot escape from this village."

The village they are in is remote and rarely visited by outsiders. Even the Internet has only been available in the past few years, and most mobile phones are still keypad phones.

In this case, if you don’t have a mobile phone and can’t leave the village, there is no possibility of calling the police.

"The two deceased's cell phones had passwords, and Li Jiao might not be able to decipher the passwords." Wen Qing added details.

The dismemberment case may not be just a dismemberment case, Li Jiao also has other purposes.

In this case, the village chief who was able to call the police was definitely not a simple person. At least it proved that he had a certain authority in the village.

This kind of authority must mean that he knows a lot about something.

At this point, Wen Qing and Fang Cheng looked at each other and guessed that it might be related to human trafficking.

"Click! Passed!" came the director's voice holding a loudspeaker.

Xu Zhizhi and Wen Qing fell on the bed immediately. God knows how long they had been sitting cross-legged and resting their hands.

From the beginning of filming this scene to the NG in the middle, I maintained the same pose.

Xu Zhizhi's hands that were supporting her felt numb, so she let go of them and placed them on her body, not daring to move at all.

Wen Qing used her hands to pry open her crossed legs, and the numb feeling spread all over her legs, making her feel completely numb.

The director announced a half-hour break to give the two of them a break.

Fang Cheng's condition wasn't much better. His feet had been soaked in the foot basin for over an hour, and they were all white and wrinkled. It would take a while for them to recover after he took them out of the water.

Xu Zhizhi recovered the fastest and picked up the script to read.

The black cloth covering the windows was removed, revealing the sunlight.

It was still this scene. After they finished shooting this scene, they shot the scene of getting up the next day.

The drama can create a sense of reality, and these daily routines are part of it. There are even many gags that show the characters' personalities, behaviors and habits.

For example, everyone has different ways of getting up in the morning, washing their face and tidying up.

The staff removed the foot basin and started to tidy up some traces in the room. Zhou Ling also successfully changed from sitting to sleeping on a makeshift bed on the other side of the house.

It was Xu Zhizhi's first time to act out a sleeping scene, so inevitably her performance was a little inappropriate, which resulted in several NGs.

It's mainly about the sense of reality, making the audience believe that they slept for a whole night.

Fortunately, Xu Zhizhi has a very good ability to imitate. Let me show you how I get up, with sleepy eyes and dull gaze.

Then I quickly got dressed, got out of bed and started washing up.

During the time, he complained that he didn't sleep well at night. He didn't expect there were mice in the house, crawling on the ground all night.

As he spoke, he poured a handful of cold water on his face, repeated it several times, and then wiped it dry with a towel.

The economic conditions here are not good, so they have no other choice but to do this.

After the three of them chatted, they started to go out together to the village chief's house.

There were two NGs during the process and Xu Zhizhi was forced to take cold showers several times. She was shivering with cold.

In the end, his face was physically frozen, his eyes were numb and cold. He didn't even need to play a villain, because he couldn't move his face at all.

After some final reshoots, all the filming for the afternoon was completed.

Director Meng was quite satisfied. The three of them had become more coordinated, and it was obvious that they got used to each other quickly.

When Xu Zhizhi got the phone, Qin Su and Jiang Yuchuan both sent her WeChat messages.

Jiang Yuchuan greeted Xu Zhizhi, chatted about some daily team life, and said that he would give Xu Zhizhi a ticket to the concert next time.

Jiang Yuchuan has great confidence in singing, otherwise he would not have become a top boy band in the country.

Singing and dancing on stage, performing skills and appearance are all top-notch configurations, and he can't wait to show them to Xu Zhizhi!

Xu Zhizhi replied to his messages one by one, and she was also looking forward to seeing Jiang Yuchuan's concert.

The rest was news about Qin Su. He first said that he was very busy, and finally said that he had inquired about her from the Beijing City Criminal Investigation Department.

He told her everything truthfully, but he was too busy on the scene, so he only messaged her now.

After reading it, Xu Zhizhi didn't feel angry or anything, because it wasn't Qin Su's fault that she was suspected.

Qin Su believed in her and would definitely speak in her favor.

But this side obviously didn't think so, and the case in the middle might have involved her, so she ended up being suspected.

Xu Zhizhi thought about it and decided to say something.

She wanted to clear herself of suspicion. Qin Su was a very experienced criminal policeman, so she thought she could discuss the situation with Qin Su.

Knowing to be Unknown: Qin Su, I feel that I have encountered the same situation as when you first met me. I am suspected, and they suspect that I am the murderer.

Feeling this was too serious, Xu Zhizhi posted another crying emoticon.

Qin Suo: Why are you crying? Didn’t you argue with me at that time?

Knowing to pretend not to know: ...It's just...being cute.

Xu Zhizhi looked at the other person and really thought she was crying, and she was helpless to explain.

Qin Su: It's good that you didn't cry. It's normal to be suspected. The things you do are very troublesome. In addition, this case may be related to you in some ways, so they also listed you as a suspect.

Qin Suo: Don't worry, you are innocent, I believe you. If we meet again, you should answer truthfully, just like you would with me.

When Xu Zhizhi saw the words appearing on the screen, she knew that the person on the other side was patiently soothing her emotions.

Qin Su's emotions and rationality did not collapse because of anything.

It is really a blessing to have such a friend who is emotionally stable and has a good IQ.

Xu Zhizhi held the phone tightly and lowered her eyes to think about her reply.

Zhizhiweizhi: Then can I cooperate with them? Cooperate with them to find the murderer, so that my suspicion will be lifted.

Hiding when faced with difficulties has never been Xu Zhizhi's style.

No matter what the connection between her and the behind-the-scenes is, she will find out everything and put the person who caused her to be suspected in prison for reform!

Qin Su hesitated for a long time, because if Xu Zhizhi didn't take action, it would be fine, but if she did, it would easily cause some problems.

He thought about it and asked Xu Zhizhi what had happened.

Seeing that the other party avoided answering, Xu Zhizhi's expression became tense and his fingers quickly tapped on the virtual keyboard.

After a long while, a long string of words was sent out.

The number of words is enough for an elementary school composition.

Obviously, Qin Su was a small spiritual pillar for her. He was like a guiding light, which made her feel more at ease.

Qin Su was silent, obviously watching carefully.

Xu Zhizhi had a good memory and recounted almost everything that happened at noon in detail.

After a while, Qin Su replied.

Xu Zhizhi hurried to watch carefully.

Qin Su: You are right. They are testing and questioning you, and observing your reaction to the situation.

Qin Su: But it seems that they don’t really doubt you. In other words, they don’t treat you as a real suspect.

Knowing to Know: Then, can I implement my idea?

Qin Su: Okay, but you should be more restrained in your thinking.

To know is to not know: Good!

Qin Suo: You always say yes, but every time you don’t, it never happens.

Knowing to Know: This time it’s certain!

Qin Su remained silent, obviously not trusting Xu Zhizhi.

Xu Zhizhi didn't say much. She sighed in her heart that Qin Su was like a worried male mother, then happily turned off her phone.

Xu Zhizhi felt very happy that someone as reliable as Qin Suo agreed with her ideas.

Looking at her, Zhong Man almost thought she was in love.

After a brief rest, the crew went back to the farm to have dinner.

At noon, because it was inconvenient to move around, we had meals delivered to the set. If there were no night scenes being filmed, they would come back to eat.

The cooking skills of the farmers are good. The meat and vegetables have a farm-like flavor and everyone enjoys eating them.

Li Feng and his friends might have come to have dinner with Xu Zhizhi. When Xu Zhizhi was eating happily, they walked in.

The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar, they went straight to the table where Xu Zhizhi was eating, watching Xu Zhizhi eating, they smiled, "We have some new discoveries, Zhizhi, do you want to go and take a look?"

"Are you guys going to eat? Or why not eat something first." Xu Zhizhi looked at the three people and pointed at the dishes on the table that they had just started eating.

She ate lunch too quickly, so she decided to eat slowly first.

Seeing Xu Zhizhi accepting advice naturally, the three of them looked at each other and sat down to eat at Director Meng's invitation.

Director Meng asked the three some questions about whether the murderer had been caught. Seeing that they shook their heads, he did not ask any more questions.

The details of the case were not something they could inquire about, but there was nothing wrong in caring whether the murderer had been caught.

Xu Zhizhi picked up the choy sum, put it in the bowl and started eating, followed by the sweet and sour spare ribs.

A little bit of vegetarian and a little bit of meat, the combination is very delicious.

Li Feng, who was sitting next to her, looked at her and thought the girl was quite calm.

He thought that given Xu Zhizhi's situation, she would feel quite distressed.

If she is truly innocent, then she was involved in this murder case for no reason.

She was not panicked, which proved her excellent psychological quality.

Considering her previous behavior, Li Feng felt that if the other party was really the murderer, they would probably be led by the nose.

I can only say that I hope it is not the case, and that Xu Zhizhi can really prove her innocence and uncover the mastermind behind the scenes.

Otherwise, this will be a tough battle and they need to be fully prepared to deal with it.

If you are not careful, Xu Zhizhi will be let go.

For high-IQ criminals, once they have tasted the sweetness, they will suffer endless troubles in the future.

Xu Zhizhi had no idea what they were thinking and just ate her meal in silence. When she was eating, she usually didn't think about a lot of unnecessary things.

The stomach is an organ of emotions. Thinking less, eating well and digesting food well will make your mood stable.

After eating, Xu Zhizhi drank some more soup, wiped her mouth and waited for the three people.

Li Feng and his friends quickly finished their meal and walked out the door with Xu Zhizhi.

No one communicated during the period. Director Meng saw the look Xu Zhizhi gave him and just waved his hand to tell her to leave quickly.

When he is not filming at night, he is too lazy to care about the affairs of young people.

When they got in the car, Li Feng said directly: "We found the head."

"Head? Is the head also in this village?" Xu Zhizhi asked in surprise.

Because according to her imagination, this person should have thrown his head somewhere else.

Create as much panic as possible and put a lot of pressure on the police to achieve your own goals.

Wang Yuyan turned around and looked at Xu Zhizhi and explained, "It's not this village, it's the village next door, in a stinky ditch."

Xu Zhizhi frowned subconsciously. If it was a stinking ditch, there might be a possibility of deliberate venting of anger. The murderer was quite brutal. If he killed more people, he would be as terrifying as Chen Xu, the serial killer in Jiang City.

It took more than 20 minutes to drive to the neighboring village. The weather was good today. When standing in front of the stinky ditch, Xu Zhizhi could still see the afterglow of the sunset.

The sun, the dead grass, the stinking ditch, it was a disgusting sight.

This time, it was still on the roadside, in a ditch filled with mud and various garbage. The police were wearing masks and constantly picking up things in the ditch in an attempt to get more clues.

Xu Zhizhi looked at the skull that was already placed aside and covered with an evidence bag, and was sure that this person was here to take revenge on society.

Looking at the skull that was picked up, Xu Zhizhi's face looked a little unhappy.

Because the skull was covered in mud, the scalp and other things on it were all gone. It was not a skull with skin, flesh and hair, but a skull.

It has only been a few days since death, so it is impossible for it to turn into bones. It can only be man-made.

Looking at the skull, Xu Zhizhi knew that the other party was an expert in anatomy. He removed the blood, flesh, brain tissue, scalp and other things bit by bit, and then made it into a snow-white bone and threw it into the stinky ditch.

Thinking of the perversion among them, Xu Zhizhi couldn't help but shudder.

The anatomical skills began to work, and when Xu Zhizhi saw it, it kept playing those steps for her. It seemed that there was an invisible shadow, creating and performing those steps for Xu Zhizhi in her mind.

It has an elegant figure and leisurely movements, just like cooking his favorite food. Its knife starts from the fontanel, peeling off the skin on the face bit by bit with precise cuts, then moves back to the back of the head, cutting the scalp bit by bit to split it in two.

The means were exquisite and the techniques were superb. Xu Zhizhi felt like she was watching a crime simulator.

Xu Zhizhi felt that it must be related to the dog system.

Unfortunately, she had watched Chen Xu's dismemberment more than ten times, and each time was different. Later, it was extended to offline and adapted to real corpses. It was impossible for 011 to scare her with this.

Of course Xu Zhizhi did not choose to ignore it. She read it very carefully and then had an idea of ​​how this skull was made.

I should have thought about it for a while, but now I have an idea of ​​it all.

Xu Zhizhi had a calm expression. Since this thing couldn't scare her, she didn't feel at a loss.

She followed Li Feng and the others as they got closer and looked closely at the skull.

Xu Zhizhi felt the benefits of not making them clear, and they would bring themselves to the scene.

Li Feng said solemnly: "This skull proves that this case is no longer a simple act of revenge. The murderer was obviously performing and was very brutal."

"Zhizhi, do you have any ideas?" Wang Yuyan asked curiously.

Xu Zhizhi didn't hesitate to listen. She put on her gloves, picked up the skull and looked at it from top to bottom. "The murderer this time is a little different from the last time. It seems that there are two people doing it. One is a highly intelligent pervert, and the other is a savage butcher."

"Based on the marks on the skull, it can be seen that the opponent used an extremely sharp surgical knife. He peeled off the scalp inch by inch to expose the brain tissue inside. I think the deceased may still be alive when the operation was carried out, because she struggled, causing the knife marks to shift..."

Xu Zhizhi described the whole process in detail, and everyone around her felt extremely uncomfortable. The extremely cruel criminal process brought endless torture to people.

Wang Yuyan had been a criminal police officer for six or seven years, but she still couldn't help but gasp twice.

The police officer's face was distorted. Just thinking about this scene made him feel cold to the back of his head.

Xu Zhizhi talked a lot and finally looked at the face of the skull.

"What's wrong?" Li Feng asked curiously.

Because Xu Zhizhi analyzed for a long time why the expression was so strange when looking at the deceased's face.

Xu Zhizhi frowned and thought for a moment before looking at the skull. "The deceased's mandible and cheekbones were ground down on both sides, very carefully and meticulously. It looks like it was caused by plastic surgery, but I don't think so. It seems that they were ground down after the production was completed."

Generally speaking, when plastic surgery is performed to change the face shape, the most popular procedure is to shave the jawline to achieve an oval face.

When seeing this kind of skull, people's first reaction is that the deceased had plastic surgery.

But Xu Zhizhi felt that it didn't seem like it was done when he was alive.

Wang Yuyan immediately said: "Is it so that we can't find out the identity of the deceased?" Because the skull was excessively damaged, it was difficult to restore the deceased's face even with 3D modeling.

"Yeah, it feels like a provocation," Xu Zhizhi said casually.

The three investigating detectives all looked at Xu Zhizhi. It seemed that this suspect really liked to hit the nail on the head.

They have already checked yesterday's clues, and the surveillance camera can vaguely see that there is a burly man sitting in the van.

Unfortunately, the van had a fake license plate, so they couldn't find out where the van had gone for the time being.

Xu Zhizhi smiled and spoke again: "This skull can be profiled, but it will take some time and I'm not sure."

"Then... I'll leave it to you," Li Feng thought for a while and nodded in agreement as Xu Zhizhi said.

Xu Zhizhi smiled, took out her cell phone and asked if she could take a photo.

Li Feng nodded, signaling Xu Zhizhi that it was okay to take the photo.

After getting permission, Xu Zhizhi began to take photos from all angles and went back to prepare to spend a few hours to restore the skull's facial features.

Xu Zhizhi was actually unsure, because she had no idea what the face looked like before. Profiling with a complete skull was already the limit, and with the mandible and cheekbones being shaved off, profiling was even more difficult.

But it is difficult but has to be done. Fortunately, I can refer to the photos I have seen and use the body shape of the deceased to infer whether the face is thin or fat.

But the error rate was very high, so Xu Zhizhi had no choice but to grit her teeth and go ahead.

Profiling is the key. As long as the identity of the deceased is proven, and you can check your own activities based on the time of death, you will most likely be cleared of suspicion.

Doubting myself means doubting that as soon as I appeared here, a plot related to the plot being filmed by the crew appeared.

For the police, there is no such thing as coincidence, only fabrication.

Qin Su must have reported some of the things he knew. Others had not experienced the same things as Qin Su, so it was normal for them to be distrustful and suspicious.

After taking all-around shots, Xu Zhizhi nodded with satisfaction.

The sun had set, the ditch had been thoroughly searched, and there were no other clues.

The spring wind was so cold in the wild that it made Xu Zhizhi's head and arms feel cold. After chatting for a few more sentences, Xu Zhizhi was sent back by Li Feng as usual.

All the questions were related to the case, and Xu Zhizhi answered them all.

On the way back in the car, the warm wind was blowing, and Xu Zhizhi rubbed her face to warm herself.

Li Feng suddenly looked at Xu Zhizhi, and asked out of curiosity: "Xu Zhizhi, if I were to hurt you, how would you retaliate against me?"

Xu Zhizhi felt that if she answered incorrectly, she would be arrested on the spot.

Of course, this is just a joke. Li Feng and his men appear to be very upright and would not arrest anyone at random.

"If someone throws mud at me, I will smash him to death with the mud?" So Xu Zhizhi thought quickly and answered seriously.

Li Feng was amused, then fell silent. After a while, he said, "I mean big hatred, such as bullying, bullying, and intentional harm."

"Just call the police. If you can't do that, run. If you can't run, beat him or scold him. He is willing to sacrifice his life to bring down the emperor!" Xu Zhizhi analyzed seriously again.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhizhi was quite thankful that the system gave her the item [The Explosive Power of Mental Illness].

Unless you have a knife, it's fifty-fifty.

Weak men will be pinned down and beaten by her and cannot bully her.

But she was not very satisfied. Many times, strength alone could not solve anything.

While driving, Li Feng occasionally looked back at Xu Zhizhi's expression and noticed that she looked very relaxed and answered quickly, without any alertness or confusion on her face.

He wondered in his heart, was Xu Zhizhi really as perverted as they had guessed? Or was it because she was such a good actress that she acted everything out?

Li Feng still didn't figure it out until he sent the person back to the crew.

He could only give up and wait for the day when the truth would be revealed.

Xu Zhizhi waved goodbye to the other party, turned around and quickly returned to the crew, where she saw Zhong Man and Zhou Ling chatting and eating melon seeds.

Life in the countryside was boring, and Zhong Man even started watching short videos to kill time.

When Xu Zhizhi came, she chatted gossip with Xu Zhizhi.

There was no talk of filming, after all, who wants to be thinking about work after get off work?

Zhong Man was also curious about what "Black Crow" was about, so she asked Xu Zhizhi to tell her about it.

Director Meng was also there, and he was also very curious.

Originally, he did not consider Xu Zhizhi to join the crew because he had many actors to choose from.

It was Zhou Yu who asked him to watch Xu Zhizhi's "Black Crow" and asked him to answer after reading it.

As a web drama, Director Meng thinks the production is very rough.

But the plot and acting are both good, so it has received good reviews online.

The first thing he saw when he clicked on it was Xu Zhizhi.

That look is similar to the suppressed perversion in Jiang Ningfu.

After thinking about it, he invited Xu Zhizhi to audition.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhizhi gave him another surprise, which was an improvement compared to "Black Crow".

But what made him most curious was that Chen Xu was arrested as the filming of "Black Crow" was completed.

Because it was so coincidental and dramatic, he was caught in the drama and brought to justice outside of the drama.

Xu Zhizhi sensed Director Meng's curiosity and told him some details.

Next to Director Meng, the screenwriter who had always been a nobody also looked at Xu Zhizhi curiously, his eyes shining.

Xu Zhizhi was used to their curious looks and began to tell the story.

This conversation lasted for more than an hour.

Director Meng listened and felt the connection between the two.

When Zhong Man was scared, she pulled Xu Zhizhi's hand and screamed.

Zhou Ling, who was standing aside, had a resentful look on his face, staring at his fiancée's hand with burning eyes.

Until the end, everyone was still not satisfied.

But along with that comes fear. A serial killer who has been on the run for 16 years! How terrifying.

After the talk, everyone went back to their rooms.

The decoration of the farmhouse is quite elegant, with a small bridge and flowing water. The lobby, lounge and restaurant are all in a pastoral style. Before Xu Zhizhi had even finished her stroll, she sat down in the small pavilion by the flowing water, cleared her mind and began to think about restoring the portrait.

The entire skull appeared in her mind, not reconstructed from scratch in her mind, but from scratch.

For example, how much of the mandible and cheekbones are shaved off, and different proportions can produce slightly different appearances.

She decided to use the process of elimination, that is, to add a little bit and draw a portrait.

According to a rough calculation, at least twenty portraits would be needed.

After thinking about it, she stood up and went to find the stage manager. The crew had sketch pens and drawing boards, which were one of the skills of the male protagonist as a criminal psychologist.

It just rarely appears and is not used much.

The groundskeeper originally did not intend to give it to Xu Zhizhi, but Xu Zhizhi agreed to draw some scenes for him, and he agreed only after he did not need to look for a sketch of the portrait online and make a copy.

The main thing is that what you see online may not necessarily work. Given Director Meng's nitpicking nature, he might just ask a few art students to draw a few portrait sketches.

The venue staff will still have to run around at that time, and Xu Zhizhi has saved him a lot of trouble.

Xu Zhizhi successfully got the board, a stack of drawing paper, and a box of sketch pens.

In order to avoid buying it herself, Xu Zhizhi thanked the other party and went back to the room.

After Xu Zhizhi left, Director Meng and the screenwriter arrived on the set to confirm tomorrow's scenes.

The groundskeeper mentioned Xu Zhizhi's request for tools and said with a smile that Xu Zhizhi seemed to have good painting skills, so the sketching problem could be solved by then.

Director Meng nodded, thinking that Xu Zhizhi had many hobbies.

The screenwriter also agreed with a smile, saying that young people like Xu Zhizhi just can't sit still and are full of energy.

After Xu Zhizhi returned to her room, she took out her computer and transferred the skull photo to the computer to enlarge it. She put the board and sketch paper in place and began to draw quickly.

Su Yue didn't ask. Even though she was scared by the skull, she just took out some snacks and put them next to Xu Zhizhi.

After reminding Xu Zhizhi to remember to apply a facial mask before going to bed, he turned around and went back to his room to rest.

Xu Zhizhi got up, closed the doors and windows, locked the door, and continued painting.

Because of the changes in the cheekbones and mandible, each portrait is different.

Fortunately, the other party only polished the mandibular protrusion and the sides of the lower jaw. If the face was completely unrecognizable, she would not have needed to write the side and would have given up directly.

Define the nose, eyes, and lips, and draw the other parts as they change.

After obtaining the portrait, we compare it with the database and find a suitable one, which will be a breakthrough.

After finishing one painting, she started another. Starting at eight o'clock, Xu Zhizhi continued painting until half past one in the morning.

By the time she reacted, she felt intense pain all over her hand.

She stood up, rubbed her face, put down her drawing board and went to wash up.

Thinking of the facial mask, she quickly put it on, fearing that her face would be too dry to put on makeup the next day.

Under the night light, the woman's facial features jump out onto the paper.

After an unknown amount of time, there were light footsteps outside the door and disappeared in front of Xu Zhizhi's door.

Because she had added the contact information, Xu Zhizhi sent a message to Li Feng in the morning. She was going to film a movie, so she asked Su Yue to send the letter to Li Feng from the crew.

Li Feng was waiting outside the crew, and Su Yue just had to go out and hand it to him.

But when she came back, Su Yue looked a little strange.

Xu Zhizhi was already preparing to film and did not notice Su Yue's abnormality.

In this scene, the village chief is being interrogated. Standing in front of the rather shabby but very clean and tidy courtyard of the village chief's house, Wen Qing, Fang Cheng, and Jiang Ningfu look at each other and decide who will start the questioning.

The main force is naturally Wen Qing, a master at cutting key points, Jiang Ningfu is responsible for auxiliary work, and criminal psychology expert Fang Cheng is also in charge of supporting work.

There is still room for breakthrough with Li Jiao, but there is no rush, let’s deal with the issues in the village first.

The village chief sat at the door, smoking, his brows furrowed and full of worries.

When the three people spoke, they immediately looked at them.

The village chief looked puzzled, "Why don't you leave? Isn't this case easy to investigate?"

"We have some questions and would like to ask you, the village chief," Wen Qing said.

Jiang Ningfu was a person who liked to have fun, so she pulled out a small wooden chair and the three of them sat down to chat with the village chief.

The village chief saw this battle and didn't understand anything. He took a puff of his cigarette and said, "You guys go away. I have nothing to say."

"Li Jiao put some sleeping pills in the wine, otherwise she wouldn't be able to kill two people quickly. Once one of them wakes up, she will be killed in return." Wen Qing went straight to the point.

When the three of them discussed it last night, it was clear that Li Jiao should not leave the village and she did not have much money on her.

In that case, where did the sleeping pills come from?

Mentioning sleeping pills was a hint to the village chief and the others that they already knew something.

As expected, the village chief narrowed his eyes and looked at Wen Qing, "You better not get yourself into trouble. Some things are better not to delve into."

"The name Li Jiao is obviously a carefully chosen name. Her parents should like it very much." Jiang Ningfu said with a meaningful smile.

Wen Qing's eyes flashed, and he realized something.

The village chief's expression changed again and again, and a complex expression appeared on his tanned face. He looked at Jiang Ningfu with a somewhat indifferent look.

Very fierce and a little scary.

But to Jiang Ningfu, this look didn't hurt or itch her at all, and she even looked back with an even gloomier gaze.

The scene fell into a standoff, and the village chief continued to smack the cigarette holder in his hand. Because of the strong smell, he began to cough bitterly.

"Cough, cough, cough..." He seemed like he was going to cough out his lungs.

After coughing, the village chief sighed and said slowly: "In fact, the reason why they don't speak out is very simple, because those who participated in it are afraid of going to jail."

The village chief may have been waiting for them to come, and slowly revealed a secret that had been kept secret for nearly twenty-five years.

It is also Li Jiao's tragic life.

She was trafficked to the village. The difference is that here they don't follow the traditional way of buying only girls and children. They also traffick and treat this place as a transit station.

They formed a gang and led most of the villagers to "get rich", "find wives" and "buy boys to carry on the family line". The villagers who did not participate were oppressed and bullied, and even forced to leave the village to work outside.

Li Jiao came here 25 years ago. She is pretty and well-educated, and was spotted by Zhao San from the group and taken home.

They had lived in peace over the years, and Li Jiao seemed to have accepted her fate and gave birth to a son and a daughter for Zhao San.

Zhao San occasionally let his son take Li Jiao to the town for shopping, so his life was relatively free.

"In fact, this rape has always existed. Zhao San's cousin's wife ran away, so she gave money to Zhao San to sleep with Li Jiao." The village chief revealed the shocking truth.

Wen Qing was shocked and asked quickly, "Why did he suddenly kill people? Did he find an opportunity?"

"yes……"

Before the village chief finished speaking, he looked outside the yard.

The three of them also looked outside the yard. The village chief immediately put his cigarette stick down heavily, pushed a few people into the room, and asked them to hide upstairs.

Things developed so quickly that several people could only be pushed into the house in confusion.

"It's over!"

Director Meng shouted.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief and stopped.

We did four or five NGs during this scene before we finally finished filming it.

Xu Zhizhi came out of the back room and sat down on her pony to rest for a while. This scene took two hours to shoot, and now they were taking a ten-minute break.

At this moment, her cell phone rang.

She picked up her phone and took a look. It was a message from Li Feng.

Li Feng: Thank you for your portrait. We have confirmed the identity of the deceased.
