"That's just as well!" Monet nodded in agreement, and then beckoned the driver and maid to drive Nicole to the hospital.

Fortunately, she was only emotional for a while, so she woke up quickly after arriving at the hospital, and then Sheriff Klein cautiously asked her: "Mrs. Dodge, I'm sorry just now, I spoke too directly, but I still hope that you can cooperate with us to catch the murderer, may I ask Mr. Daoqi who has offended anyone recently?" ”

I saw Nicole replied with an embarrassed face: "I don't know much about my husband's work, but being a lawyer will inevitably offend some people, especially the families of those who lost the case." ”

Hearing Nicole say this, Sheriff Klein felt a chill in his heart, because during this time he had sent someone to understand the Dodge lawyer, and it turned out that this guy was specifically suing some unscrupulous rich people, so there were quite a lot of people offended, and if the family of the loser was investigated one by one, the workload would be quite large, and after a long time, the murderer was likely to escape.

At this time, Monet suddenly asked on the side: "Sheriff, did any witnesses see the murderer when Mr. Dodge was killed?" ”

"Yes, yes, but the witnesses only saw it, so they can't tell what the murderer looks like!" Sheriff Klein replied with some gloom.

"It's okay if you can't tell, I can help him draw it, can you take me to meet this witness?" Monet took the initiative to ask.

At this time, Sheriff Klein remembered what Monet had told him: "Oh, yes, you said that you can draw the head of the murderer based on the description of witnesses without seeing you, so let's try it!" ”

Saying that, Sheriff Klein told Mrs. Dodge to take a break, and if she thought of any clues, she would send someone to the police station to look for him, and then took Monet to the Eyewitness Grocery Store Owner John Sr.

It turns out that Sheriff Klein was right before, although John Sr. did see the murderer, but because the incident happened suddenly and Mr. Dodge's death in front of him also had a certain impact, his memory and description were very confusing.

Fortunately, Monet still has a little understanding of the depiction of the murderer, and knows that it is impossible for witnesses to maintain their usual calm mind and thinking when they suddenly encounter a crime, so if you want him to accurately describe the appearance of the murderer, especially when it comes to the facial features such as eyebrows and eyes, it is difficult to have an accurate memory.

At this time, the normal method is to guide the witness to describe the murderer's behavior and expression at that time, and then infer the murderer's appearance based on the expression and behavior, so that the accuracy rate is much higher.

So Monet led the way and asked, "Mr. John, you don't have to think about the murderer's appearance now, you only need to recall his expression at that time, such as his movements and appearance when he shot and fled?" ”

Old John thought about it for a moment, then replied in a gesture of shooting: "He seems to have been in this position!" ”

"Huh? Why did he use such an awkward position? Is it because of something wrong with his legs? Monet asked curiously.

Hearing Monet ask, Old John suddenly seemed to remember something: "Yes, yes, yes, his leg is a little lame, so he limps when he runs!" ”

"Why didn't you tell us such an important clue before?" Sheriff Klein asked displeasedly.

"Wasn't I scared at the time, so I didn't think about it for a while!" Old John replied with some embarrassment.

Monet glared at Sheriff Klein and said, "Don't talk yet, don't scare back the clues that Mr. John finally remembered!" ”

Subsequently, under Monet's continuous guidance, Old John gradually recalled more details, and Monet continued to flesh out the portraits according to the details he said.

Twenty minutes later, the image of a middle-aged man in a shabby trench coat, a slight limp on his left leg, fierce eyes, rough hands, and a messy beard appeared on the page.

When Old John saw this portrait, he couldn't help but exclaim, "That's right, it's him!" The murderer is him! Especially his eyes, I will never be mistaken! ”

"Are you sure you won't be mistaken?" Monet asked.

Old John nodded without hesitation and replied, "Absolutely! ”

So Monet handed it to Sheriff Klein: "With this portrait, it should be easier to catch the murderer, right?" ”

Sheriff Klein took the portrait and looked at it, and then replied excitedly: "There are such accurate portraits, how can you not catch the murderer, I will send someone to investigate!" ”

It turns out that Sheriff Klein did not brag, according to this portrait, the murderer who wanted to escape from New York by train was arrested the next day, but this case is also very embarrassing, the murderer's son was injured in the leg by a rich man because of a trivial matter, and the rich man was acquitted under Mr. Dodge's defense during the lawsuit, which made the murderer hold a grudge against him, so he shot him last night.

After this incident, Sergeant Klein greatly praised Monet's drawing skills: "Tony really didn't expect you to have this ability, so how about you help me in a similar case in the future?" But don't worry, I won't let you go for nothing, and you will be given at least $100 for a painting! ”

"Your police department is so rich?" Monet asked curiously.

Sheriff Klein shrugged and replied, "The police department doesn't have the money, but I can let the victims' families take it, after all, it's for them!" ”

Although Monet felt that this would lead to the fact that only the rich could afford this kind of service, he would definitely not do it if he was asked to do a day job, so he sighed and said: "This world is really unfair! ”

Sheriff Klein replied disapprovingly, "The world has never been fair, has it?" For example, only the rich can use the most expensive drugs and treatments when they are sick, but the poor can only wait for death even if they know that these drugs and treatments can alleviate or even cure their diseases! ”

Although Monet knew that Sheriff Klein was telling the truth, he still felt very uncomfortable, so he got up and said, "Okay, then you can send someone to me when you need my help, and now I'll go and tell Mrs. Dodge about the murderer!" ”

Nicole, who learned the cause of her husband's death, was also very emotional, but just as the two were talking about it, suddenly the door was knocked open from the outside, and then several vicious-looking people broke in and said to Nicole with bad intentions: "Mrs. Dodge, you should pay me back, right?" ”
