Although Wang Ziwen said that, Li Chu still hesitated: "Brother-in-law, it's not right to let Sixth Brother take risks because of me."
"What, do you have a better candidate? Or are you going to do it yourself?"
"Uh..." Wang Ziwen's question stumped him; there really wasn't a better candidate to do this.
"Xiao Liu is with you right now, right?"
Seeing that Li Chu nodded in confirmation, Wang Ziwen picked up the phone and dialed Li Chu's home.
The phone was answered after only two rings.
"Xiao Liu, it's me, your brother. Come to my office now. Xiao Chu is here too. Remember to lock the door when you come out."
“Brother-in-law, my car is at home, it’s unlocked. Can you have Sixth Brother ride it over?” Li Chu interjected from the side.
"Xiao Liu, did you hear what Xiao Chu said?"
...
"Okay, hurry up."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Ziwen said to Li Chu, "Alright, let's wait a bit until he gets here."
"Hey, brother-in-law, why hasn't anyone come to report to you all day?" Li Chu realized something was wrong; Wang Ziwen should be very busy right now.
"After you called me this morning, I canceled everything for today and told them to talk about it tomorrow," Wang Ziwen said casually.
For him right now, as long as the sky doesn't fall, he should deal with his brother-in-law's matter first.
Li Chu shrugged, saying nothing, nor did he need to; he would just keep it in mind.
Wu Xiao arrived in about sixty minutes and entered the office. Wang Ziwen then told him about the investigation he and Li Chu had just conducted.
"That's a good idea, but do you have sufficient reasons for the people you crossed out earlier?"
"It's not a matter of whether it's sufficient or insufficient, there's always a reason. Now, the one left has no reason to be crossed out," Wang Ziwen said, and he also introduced the specific situation of this person.
After hearing this, Wu Xiaoliu smiled and said, "You two, you're right, it really could be this person."
"Why?" Li Chu looked at Wu Xiaoliu with a serious expression.
Wang Ziwen picked up her cup and drank some water, waiting patiently for Wu Xiaoliu to continue.
Wu Xiaoliu pointed to the list: "I'm only referring to this list. If the suspect isn't on this list, then that's a different story."
Who in the general senses to hire someone else to do the tracking? The most crucial question is, how many people could be found to be so trustworthy as to do it?
The list provided by Li Chu included everyone except the few people who cleaned his house; the rest of them all had regular jobs and were from families that were neither rich nor poor.
These kinds of people are almost never going to do such criminal things.
Only Jiang Cheng, due to his work, must have a few informants like street thugs.
"How long has he been in Beijing? How could he have his own informants?" Li Chu still couldn't believe that his childhood friend would do such a thing.
“You don’t need to doubt that. According to you, he’s been working for ten months. If he couldn’t gather a few informants in such a long time, then he wouldn’t need to do this job,” Wang Ziwen said, waving his hand.
The First Evolution
"Xiao Chu, we're not sure if it's him yet. He's just the most suspicious person on the list you provided. He might even be someone you don't know at all."
The person who was following you last night was bitten by a dog; I just don't know how serious it is. Anyway, I'll look him up. Tell me what Jiang Cheng looks like.
If it really is him, he'll definitely meet with that person in the next day or two. I just need to keep an eye on him and see if he's seen anyone with the injured wrist in the next couple of days.
"The person bitten by Xiao Hei must have been seriously injured. I know how strong Xiao Hei's bite is. As for what Jiang Cheng looks like, it's hard to describe, but he doesn't have a single beard on his face."
? ? ?
Wang Ziwen and Wu Xiaoliu both looked at Li Chu, waiting for his explanation. How could a man not have a beard? Even if he shaved it clean, you could still see the marks.
After thinking for a moment, Li Chu decided to reveal that Jiang Cheng's body was disabled.
"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I took his pulse and found that Jiang Cheng's body was indeed severely deficient in yang energy. Moreover, it's possible that his body had been dominated by yin and deficient in yang for a long time, which gave his behavior a slightly yin feel."
After pausing for a moment, Li Chu continued, "Let me draw his appearance; it's probably not easy to find him just by describing him."
"You'll go back to painting?"
Wang Ziwen and Wu Xiaoliu asked in unison.
"Yes, I used to study and needed to draw the shape of Chinese herbs or the structure of the human body, so I taught myself for a while."
That was all Li Chu could say; he couldn't very well say it was a skill he brought from his previous life.
Picking up the pencil and letter paper from Wang Ziwen's desk, Li Chu quickly sketched a portrait of Jiang Cheng.
After finishing the drawing, Li Chu looked at it carefully again. It was at least 70-80% similar. He was sure he could find the person based on this.
"Hey Xiao Chu, how come I've never heard you mention this ability before?"
"Brother-in-law, what's there to say? I don't rely on him for food."
"Could you draw a family portrait for us later?"
Li Chu was both amused and exasperated by Wang Ziwen's request: "Brother-in-law, there's no need for such trouble. Why don't we just go to a photo studio and take a picture? If that doesn't work, I'll buy a camera and we can take one at home."
"We don't even know when Jiadong will be back, how can we take pictures?"
Li Chu stared wide-eyed at her brother-in-law: "So you mean you want me to draw from memory?!"
“What else can we do?” Wang Ziwen said matter-of-factly.
Suddenly, they sensed something was wrong and turned to look at Wu Xiaoliu, who was staring at the painting.
"Xiao Liu, what's wrong?"
After receiving the portrait, Wu Xiaoliu stared at it with a furrowed brow.
"Xiao Chu, is there anything wrong with your painting?" Wu Xiaoliu looked up, not answering Wang Ziwen's question, but looking at Li Chu and asking.
"No problem. I wouldn't dare say it's 100% similar, but it's at least 70-80% similar."
"If there's no problem, then the person I just saw was him."
"Could it really be him?" This thought popped into both Li Chu and Wang Ziwen's minds, and they exchanged a glance.
"Sixth Brother, where did you see him?" Li Chu asked anxiously.
Wu Xiaoliu organized his thoughts: "Your house is the second one from the west. Go out, turn west, and you'll be on the main road. There's a department store right next to it, right?"
"Yes, that's right. Qiu Nan and I usually take the west route to and from get off work, but it's a bit of a detour to get to the hospital from the west."
"When I received the call, I was coming from the east. If you count from the east, your house is actually at the very end of the alley, and you have to turn several corners."
When I came out of the alley on the east side and walked onto the main road, this person was loitering around the alley entrance.
