Chapter 171 Image
Under the leadership of Captain Xia Mufan, the Special Operations Team of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Xing City Public Security Bureau began their first operation.

Everyone's way of addressing Xia Mufan also changed from "Team Leader" to "Captain Xia".

In order to improve efficiency, the special operations team was divided into two groups.

The first route was led by Xiao Yuanfeng, with the participation of Sun Xianbing and Gong Weiguo. They went to several taxi companies in Xing City to investigate whether there was a night shift driver with a "Guo" in his name, which could be Dingguo, Jinguo, Jinguo, Jingguo, or Qingguo. This person usually likes to drink. He had a car accident in August or September this year, broke his leg, and rested for a period of time.

The second route was led by Xia Mufan, with Feng Xiaoyu and Yu Jing participating. The three were led by Han Ying to the pet shop owner to get information and seek help from Bai Yu, a criminal investigation portrait expert from the provincial department.

Xia Mufan is the youngest criminal investigation expert in the provincial department. He was warmly received as soon as he arrived at the provincial department. When he heard that he came to ask Bai Yu for help and that the nature of the case was extremely bad, he called Bai Yu back from a business trip without saying a word.

Bai Yu and Gu Shaoqi are good friends. Bai Yu once dealt with Xia Mufan because of Lu Pingping's disappearance case. When she saw Xia Mufan again, Bai Yu smiled and said hello to her: "Xiao Xia, long time no see."

Bai Yu had a straight square face, bright eyes, and a kind attitude. Xia Mufan shook hands with him, thanked him, and got straight to the point without being polite: "Officer Bai, I have a case here, and I need your help to draw a portrait of the suspect."

Bai Yu was also a straightforward person, and didn't say anything long-winded: "Okay, where should I draw it? Where are the witnesses?"

Xia Mufan brought the pet shop owner forward and said to Bai Yu, "The witness is him. He saw the suspect about half a month ago, and the suspect sold him a parrot at that time."

Bai Yu glanced at the pet shop owner and frowned slightly: "Half a month ago? Do you still remember his appearance clearly?"

The pet shop owner hesitated: "Actually, I just have a general impression. If you ask me what that person's eyebrows and eyes look like, I really can't remember."

Bai Yu's brows furrowed even more tightly.

He has been a criminal investigation portrait artist for more than ten years. He draws dozens of suspect portraits every year. In order to improve his portrait skills, he insists on drawing ten sketches every day, and has been doing so for many years.

Criminal investigation portraits are different from general portraits. A portrait needs to be drawn based on the description of witnesses. In order to draw a more accurate portrait, Bai Yu divides the face into multiple parts such as eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. The eyes are then divided into fish eyes, phoenix eyes, almond eyes, slender eyes, round eyes, drooping eyes, drooping eyes, triangular eyes... The noses are divided into hooked noses, upturned noses, upturned noses, thick noses, lion noses, and teardrop noses... Bai Yu will repeatedly and in detail ask about the characteristics of different parts based on the witnesses' statements, and finally use a puzzle-like method to bring these parts together to present the overall appearance.

Through this set of portrait splitting methods, Bai Yu is not only able to draw anything that looks like it, helping to solve countless major cases, but he also teaches classes in various places and has trained hundreds of criminal portrait artists for the public security department.
