The Detective’s Essence [90s Criminal Investigation] Completed

The Meng family is in trouble. Their daughter, who had been missing for eighteen years, has returned. However, the family has already taken in an adopted son who has usurped her rightful place.

Mother: "Even though you're back, you're just a girl. Your brother has already taken over the family business. You're just a small police officer, don't even think about competing with him!"

Adopted Son: "Sister, don't worry. Everything I have belongs to the Meng family, and that includes you."

Meng Siqi, looking at the photos of the victims in her hands, is fully focused on the case. She casually nods in response to her family's nagging: "The victim's lungs and pleura show red spots, known as Tardieu spots, which are characteristic of mechanical asphyxia. She was strangled to death!"

The Meng family: ...

Meng Siqi never imagined that she possessed a supernatural ability. Whenever she encounters a crime scene, she can sense crucial clues about the murder—the method of killing, the characteristics of the murderer, and their unique habits. It's as if the crime scene reveals itself to her like a movie.

From then on, City A gained a super detective, and criminals found themselves haunted by a relentless shadow.

Chief: "Still can't solve the case? Go find Xiao Meng!"

Criminal: "Enough, I confess, I surrender, I give up!"

...

Reporter: "Officer Meng, how do you manage to find the criminals so quickly and accurately, even with such scarce evidence?"

Meng Siqi, with a sincere expression: "Criminal psychology and performance studies!"

The reporter and the audience smile indulgently: "Officer Meng is so playful."

Meng Siqi: "Even if I told the truth, you wouldn't believe me."

While others investigate cases by finding evidence and suspects, Meng Siqi finds the criminals and evidence right in front of her. If the clues are insufficient, she uses her acting skills to fill in the gaps and deceive the criminals into revealing themselves.

Detective Meng smiles wryly: "The loneliness of being invincible, who can understand?"

The Meng family, watching the TV news, are stunned.

"Is it too late to make amends with our daughter now?"

Meng Siqi smiles: "What do you think?"

Synopsis for "I Rely on Portraits to Solve Cases and Became a Treasure in the Police Force [Detective]":

In 2003, Li Shumei graduated from the police academy and joined the Qindong City Criminal Investigation Unit as a rookie police officer. The job of a detective is tough. On her first visit to a crime scene, Li Shumei experienced all sorts of discomfort—she vomited at the sight of the corpse, tripped while chasing the suspect, and even fainted from the sound of gunshots. The veteran detectives, impatient with her performance, demanded a replacement from the chief. Fortunately, with the chief's reassurance, Li Shumei stayed.

In those days, investigative methods were limited, and many cases became cold cases due to a lack of technology. However, three days later, Li Shumei's portrait helped locate the elusive criminal. Over the next few months, Li Shumei assisted the police in solving several major cases, earning the title of "Portrait Detective Specialist."

At a celebration event, a colleague asked, "Shumei, when did you learn to draw? Your portraits are incredibly lifelike!"

Li Shumei: "I just added some of my own deductions to the sketches, like criminal psychology profiling..."

In reality, Li Shumei possesses a supernatural ability to create highly accurate portraits of suspects or victims based on minimal information, such as eyewitness accounts, vague figures, skulls, or even diaries, with a 99% similarity rate!
