I Solved Cases Through Portraits and Became a Treasure of the Police Force [Criminal Investigation]

In 1999, after graduating from the police academy, Li Shumei entered the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Qindong City Bureau and became a young policewoman.

Criminal investigation and solving cases were especially demanding. The first time she went to a crime scene, Li Shumei gathered up all kinds of “problems”. She vomited when she saw the corpse, fell while chasing the suspect, and even fainted when she heard gunfire. She truly fainted.

The veteran detectives, anxious to solve the case, directly rushed to the bureau chief’s office, hoping the bureau could replace her with someone else.

 Fortunately, under the bureau chief’s reassurance, Li Shumei stayed.

In that era, there were few methods for solving cases, and technology was lacking, so many cases remained unresolved.

What the veteran detectives did not expect was that three days later, relying on a portrait drawn by Li Shumei, they successfully found the vicious and elusive murderer.

Within just a few months, Li Shumei even helped the bureau successfully solve several major cases, and she was called an expert in criminal investigation sketching.

At the celebration party, a colleague asked her: “Shumei, when did you learn to draw? It looks so much like the real person, it’s amazingly similar!”

Li Shumei said: “I just added some of my own deductions when sketching, such as criminal psychological profiling…”

In fact, Li Shumei never thought that she possessed a super ability in criminal investigation sketching.

Relying on a witness’s few words, a vague figure, a victim’s skull, or even the victim’s diary—

She could imagine the appearance of the murderer or the victim, and the similarity rate reached as high as 99%!
