Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 416: Crime Hunting Illustrations 5

He usually prefers milk and drinks coffee less often, but this time he found it quite good: "Aren't you busy today?"

An Yingqiu glanced at the painting hanging on his wall and casually said, "I'll make you a cup of coffee. I should go out and get busy too."

"Then you can go ahead and get busy. Thank you for the coffee."

"You're welcome." Shen Yi thanked her so many times that An Yingqiu felt he was being overly polite.

Back at her workstation, Li Han leaned over and gossiped, "You seem to be getting quite close to Teacher Shen, don't you?"

An Yingqiu's smile remained unchanged: "We're neighbors, so it's inevitable that we'll exchange a few words."

"What a coincidence, what a coincidence!" Li Han said, still unwilling to give up.

An Yingqiu handed her a lollipop: "It's fate that we can become colleagues and good friends."

"Haha, that's true." Li Han took the lollipop, immediately opened it, and popped it into her mouth.

That evening, while examining the skeleton, He Rongyue noticed something amiss with the skull and took it to Shen Yi.

“Look, there’s a wear mark on this skull. Someone used sandpaper to sand off the original serial number.”

After Shen Yi took it, he confirmed that the serial number had been ground off.

At this moment, Du Cheng also walked in: "How's the progress?"

"No need to paint it anymore, this should be a skull used for teaching by the art academy."

Shen Yi explained that some of the donations to the art academy were of real human skulls, and each skull had a donation number on it.

After confirming the situation, the three went to the art classroom of Beijiang No. 7 Middle School.

When they returned with the skull, tests confirmed that the skull and the remains belonged to the same person.

Shen Yi then touched the skull and began to draw using the bone points.

Li Han is using technology to scan skull data and let AI simulate the skull to resemble a person in life.

"How is it going?" An Yingqiu had just checked on Shen Yi's progress and had just come out of office 406.

Du Cheng glanced in the direction she came from: "We'll see the results soon. Can Shen Yi be faster than a computer?"

An Yingqiu remained noncommittal, but Li Han suddenly sat up: "Team Leader Cheng, it's ready."

Du Cheng immediately perked up, and An Yingqiu also turned her gaze to the computer.

A face that looked like it was wearing a mask, completely white and without features, appeared on the screen.

After reading it, Du Cheng looked completely bewildered: "What is this?"

Li Han chuckled and said, "The AI-restored portrait is already quite accurate."

An Yingqiu suppressed a laugh, and Du Cheng pinched the bridge of his nose: "Turn it off, it looks kind of scary."

"Okay." Li Han turned off her computer. Since there was nothing more for her to do, she packed her things and prepared to leave work.

An Yingqiu also packed up and prepared to leave.

The two walked out hand in hand, and Li Han said, "Yingqiu, do you think Teacher Shen can draw it?"

"I think it's okay."

"I feel so too."

As they walked out, talking, Shen Yi, who had come out of his office to check on things, heard their conversation and smiled.

Du Cheng, who was standing to the side, said to him, "They trust you, so how's the painting coming along?"

"I'll finish drawing it as soon as possible," Shen Yi said, then turned and went back to his office.

He was also packing up to go home; he already had a plan, and he would draw again tomorrow.

An Yingqiu got home late. She was used to this kind of life; she usually had to work overtime when there was a case.

She took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator and took a big gulp.

After resting for a while, she went to take a shower. When she came out with her hair down and wearing pajamas, she heard a knock on the door.

She glanced towards the door, and her mental energy instantly penetrated it, allowing her to see Shen Yi standing outside.

Without thinking much, An Yingqiu took a towel and dried her dripping hair as she walked over to open the door.

After knocking on the door for a while, it opened from the inside, and a refreshing scent of shower gel wafted out.

He looked over and saw that An Yingqiu had just finished showering and was wearing pajamas.

"Shen Yi, did you need something from me?"

Shen Yi smiled as usual when speaking to people: "Yeah, I bought some late-night snacks. I saw you hadn't turned off the lights yet, so I came to invite you to join me."

"Wait a minute, I'll dry my hair." She ate early tonight and was indeed a little hungry.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi glanced at her long, wet hair draped over her shoulders and nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and wait for you."

He had just turned around when he turned back and said, "I bought a pizza. Is that okay? If you don't like it, you can change it to something else."

“Okay.” An Yingqiu thought he was quite considerate.

"Okay, take your time."

After everyone left, An Yingqiu used a hairdryer to dry her hair.

After finishing, she glanced down at her pajamas, which were just ordinary short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and thought they were fine before heading out.

He knocked twice on the door next door, and it opened from the inside. Shen Yi stood there with a smile: "Come in."

He looked like he had taken a shower and changed his clothes, wearing a simple short-sleeved loungewear set.

An Yingqiu walked in, glanced at the paintings in his living room, and then sat down at the table.

There were two pizzas and some juice on the table. Shen Yi handed her gloves: "I don't know if you usually have a late-night snack?"

An Yingqiu put on gloves, picked up a slice of pizza and took a bite: "We'll see. I'll eat when I'm hungry."

"I usually come back later than you, and I've noticed that you have a more regular sleep schedule." Basically, the lights across the street are turned off around midnight.

In a split second, An Yingqiu realized that he had judged her based on the fact that the lights were off when she looked out her window: "Yeah, I just started feeling sleepy as soon as I got back."

"Is it because you're not getting enough sleep? Are you usually very tired from work?" Shen Yi thought that he only went to work when there was a case.

An Yingqiu shook her head: "Work is okay, it's just that I get sleepy easily when I get up early."

"Looks like you haven't been getting enough sleep." Shen Yi curled his lips.

Seeing him laugh at her, a playful glint flashed in An Yingqiu's eyes: "Enough about me, Teacher Shen actually cares about when I turn off the lights and go to sleep?"

"Cough, cough cough cough." Shen Yi choked after hearing her words and accidentally choked.

Moreover, he didn't think anything of other people calling him Teacher Shen, but it felt a little strange when he heard her call him that.

However, he knew that she was joking with him.

An Yingqiu handed him the juice and said with a smile, "Don't rush, Teacher Shen, take your time."

"Okay." Shen Yi took a sip of juice, struggling to calm himself down after choking.

He then explained, "I wasn't paying attention on purpose; sometimes I'd just look up at the window and see that you'd turned off the lights."

An Yingqiu raised an eyebrow: "Oh, I see. Teacher Shen sees it every time she accidentally looks up."

Hearing the teasing in her words, Shen Yi felt his face burning. Upon reflection, he realized that he had indeed noticed this every day, and he couldn't refute it.

Seeing him lost in thought, An Yingqiu laughed and then changed the subject: "Eat quickly, it'll get cold."

"Hmm." Shen Yi came back to his senses and returned to normal.
