I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 211 - 152: Developing a Plan

Li Xiang projected various case materials and, using the projected materials as a guide, introduced the details of the missing person case and the current progress of the investigation.

"Through Shao Han’s network account, we discovered that under each of his posts, there were comments from a user named ’Liberation Mage,’ mostly negative, which caught our attention. After monitoring this account, we also found that he commented under other people’s accounts. By persuading a victim, we used her account to contact ’Liberation Mage’ and then managed to capture him."

In the conference room, everyone was fully focused, listening to Li Xiang’s introduction, with no one making a sound. The only noises were the rustling of materials being turned by Li Xiang and his powerful explanations:

"Shen Liang, 34 years old, from Nanhua, a former anesthesiologist at Nanhua Second People’s Hospital, was fired for accepting bribes from patients’ families. During interrogation, Shen Liang confessed about his superior, Aunt Hua."

He projected the portrait of Aunt Hua onto the screen and continued, "This person is Aunt Hua, a portrait I sketched based on Shen Liang’s description. Everyone, take a look."

Li Xiang had demonstrated this skill during the severed finger dismemberment case, but back then, not many people were aware of it.

At this moment, some people looked at the portrait of Aunt Hua on the screen with skepticism, dismissing it as a young person’s showing off, thinking that after learning a bit of drawing, he dared to claim he could sketch a suspect from a description.

As far as they knew, up to now, there was no one in Jinghai City with this skill.

Why would Li Xiang have it?

So someone raised their hand and questioned, "Team Leader Li, how confident are you in this portrait? If we search based on your portrait and it turns out to be wrong, wasting time on the investigation, it would be counterproductive. If you’re not confident in this portrait, I think we shouldn’t put it up to avoid misleading everyone."

In the conference room, some people, seeing that someone began to question Li Xiang, knew there was something exciting to watch, so they sat there, looking on with interest, waiting to see how Li Xiang would handle this unexpected situation.

"Who are you?"

Li Xiang knew someone would question him, just didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. To lead this special task force, he first needed to pass this challenge. If the doubts weren’t addressed, his authority would be challenged, and surely someone would undermine him in future work, which he absolutely couldn’t allow.

"I’m Tian Junqin from the Tech Investigation Division. As far as I know, no one in Jinghai City has this skill. You say you have it; how confident are you?"

"I am ten percent sure."

As soon as he said this, people in the conference room began whispering among themselves. Some doubted him, thinking he was young and arrogant, not knowing his limits and only boasting, while others explained that he had found a suspect using this skill last time.

But hearing is one thing; most still didn’t believe Li Xiang possessed this skill.

"Quiet, whether it’s boasting, one trial will tell. I know some think I’m young and not qualified to lead, inevitably feeling dissatisfied. I can understand that. Here, let me make a deal with everyone. If I lose, I will voluntarily resign as team leader of the special task force."

As soon as Li Xiang finished speaking, there were many peacemakers at the scene: "No need for that, it’s normal to have doubts. Since Director Song personally appointed you, don’t let emotions control us, let’s continue the meeting."

Some seemed to want to mediate, but only Li Xiang knew that if internal conflicts weren’t resolved, and his leadership authority wasn’t established, others wouldn’t submit to him. Even if they didn’t overtly disrespect him, covert opposition would also be intolerable.

So Li Xiang took this opportunity to kill their arrogance, like a new official setting the tone with fire, quelling their pride.

"Wasn’t someone questioning me? Why aren’t they speaking now?"

Tian Junqin, who had just questioned him, couldn’t escape and had to say bravely: "What’s the deal?"

"You doubted I could draw a suspect just from a verbal description? I’ll do a live demonstration for everyone. You pick a suspect you’ve handled, and I’ll draw him by asking about his facial features. Everyone will be a judge. If even one person says my drawing doesn’t resemble him, I lose. How about it?"

Tian Junqin nodded. With so many people present, he didn’t believe Li Xiang could have everyone say his drawing was accurate?

"Alright, if you win, I’ll voluntarily withdraw from the special task force."

"There’s no need to withdraw from the special task force. Your skills are exactly what the task force needs. If I luckily win, I hope you’ll focus more on the case rather than doubting me. Only when everyone in the task force is united can we handle this case well and successfully."

This sentence seemed addressed to Tian Junqin, but it was intended for everyone.

Instead of internal friction, it was better to concentrate energies to quickly apprehend Aunt Hua.

"Alright, if you win, I won’t question you anymore and will listen to whatever you say."

"Then let’s begin."

Tian Junqin immediately picked out a photo from his phone, looked at Li Xiang, and signaled to start.
