Female Forensic Doctor of Dali Temple

Chapter 9 - Lefty



The words are more than conscience, Bai Yue remained silent.

Lin Yi also said, “I’ve always heard the lady say that you are the young master’s nobleman, beautiful and wise, and will definitely be the young master’s wise assistant in the future.

Bai Yue did not move, “So?”

“We’re in trouble now, if we don’t find out, the young master won’t be able to sleep tonight.” Lin Yi even twisted and turned, “Ms. Bai, otherwise, you can also help.”

Saying this, Lin Yi winked at Jian Yu.

Wasn’t it the old master who had a mouthful of smart, insightful, noble, and virtuous helpers? I’d like to see how she can help Jian Yu.

Bai Yue’s heart was slightly moved, of course, the fiancée was just a coincidence, but now that she was living in the Jian Mansion, it was best for her to have a good relationship with Jian Yu, or else she would be treated with courtesy on the surface, but secretly, it would be annoying if she always tripped her up in some way.

Thinking like this, Bai Yue immediately changed the words on her lips.

“If I can help, then of course I’m willing.” Bai Yue said, “What is it?”

Lin Yi handed over a booklet “In the early hours of yesterday morning, Xia Fei, a well-known painter in the city, died in his home with a dagger stuck in his chest. It was late at night and no one saw who was in or out of his home. When he was dying, he was holding these fans in his arms.”

Bai Yue took a closer look, and sure enough, the inscription of the poem on the face of this fan, was the three words Xia Fei.

Speaking of business, Jian Yu also got serious and picked up a fan from the table, “This batch of landscape fans is a batch of orders that Xia Fei intends to deliver in these few days. The order quantity and price have all been found, and these fans, and the quantity is slightly different.”

Bai Yue’s first reaction was naturally, “Some are missing? Taken by someone?”

“No, there is one more.”

“Which one?”

Lin Yi reached out and drew on the tabletop, “It’s in here, but I don’t know.”

“Don’t know?”

“Yes.” Jian Yu said, “The initial suspicion is that the killer is exactly the master of imitating Xia Fei, he left a fake painting fan in a panic, but because the level of imitation is very high, it can almost be fake ……”

Lin Yi couldn’t help but lament, “If the fake is exactly the same as the real one, is it still fake?”

“Fake is fake.” Bai Yue picked up a fan to take a closer look, “I used to ……”

Bai Yue almost said that she had seen a similar case before, but fortunately, before the words came out of her mouth she reacted.

“I’ve heard people talking about it before.” Bai Yue seemed to casually say, “The more skillful the imitator, the more he will leave a mark on the imitation that only he can see. On the one hand, it is also considered his work to always leave a name. On the other hand, he is also afraid that if he buys a real one in the future, he will be in trouble.

Jian Yu suddenly felt that even though Bai Yue had gone away for a while and returned even more upset, those few words were quite clear.

“The reason is like this, but this sign is also too hidden. No matter how you look at it, these fans are all the same.” Lin Yi frowned.

Lin Yi’s hand rested on the table, and Bai Yue looked at it, looking like someone who was used to dancing with swords, and such a delicate task as drawing and painting to find the differences was indeed inappropriate.

“If it was obvious at first glance, this imitator should have been killed a long time ago.” Bai Yue replied casually, putting down the fan in her hand and replacing it.

Jian Yu raised his hand to stop Lin Yi from telling her to stop talking and see if Bai Yue was really capable or just a mouthpiece.

Twenty-three folding fans were lined up neatly on the wide desk, and Bai Yue looked at them in a way that was different from ordinary people’s appreciation, she took a folding fan, from left to right, from top to bottom, looked at it once, and then changed it.

Jian Yu had practiced martial arts since childhood and had no interest or study in painting and calligraphy, but he knew from Bai Yue’s appearance that she was also an amateur and was just pretending to be real.

To his surprise, Bai Yue actually picked out a handful of them after looking at them.

“This one.” Bai Yue rubbed a certain spot on the fan, “This fan is not from this artist’s hand.”

Now, Jian Yu became interested, “How do you know that?”

Lin Yi and Liang Meng were also surprised and came over to take a look. But no matter how they looked, they didn’t feel that there was any difference between this one and the other two dozen. It was all the same mountains, rivers, pines, and cypresses, and the lake was full of waves.

“Where is it different?” Lin Yi came over and pressed the fan against her fingers, feeling like her eyes were going blind.

“Look at the ripples in the water.” Bai Yue pointed to a certain spot, “The water ripples are different.”

Summer Fei’s artistry was highly skilled, and although it was only a few strokes, the shimmering waves were drawn in a very evocative manner.

Of course, the ripples on this one weren’t exactly the same as the others, but it didn’t seem too different.

Jian Yu was quite unconvinced, “Do you know how to paint?”

“No.” Bai Yue was truly human, “Where did I learn that?”

She can draw, but not brush painting, sketching gouache can be, especially sketching portraits, but wherever she gave her a look, can give a drawing of nine out of ten, before in the Bureau if there are difficulties, will also find her to do reasoning profiling, but also had to use this to solve the big case.

“You have never studied painting, can you see the difference between the strokes here?”

Bai Yue had already thought of a good reason, “I’ve never eaten pork, although I don’t know how to paint, but when I was a child, I liked to draw on the ground with a stick of firewood, and if I drew a lot, I learned to become a good artist.”

This reason was perfect, and Jian Yu could not refute it for a while.

Not wanting the crowd to focus on why she was doing this, Bai Yue changed the subject and explained, “Although there is no difference between the water waves here and the next place, the strokes are different, look, the strokes are from upper left to lower right.

Lin Yi was still confused, she raised her hand and drew a picture, “Upper left to lower right, what does that mean?”

Bai Yue casually picked up a paintbrush and casually compared a pose, “This is how we usually draw, isn’t it?”

Lin Yi nodded.

“But these few strokes are the opposite.” Bai Yue mimicked the falling brush on the fan and made a few more strokes, “Doesn’t it feel particularly twisted?”

Lin Yi mused, “It seems to have a twisted feeling.”

Bai Yue said approvingly, “Yeah, why?”

“Why?”

Bai Yue held out her left hand and snapped it on the table, “This means that this killer is a left-handed person. He drew these lines with his left hand, and for a normal person, it’s messed up.”

After a moment of silence, Jian Yu really couldn’t help but applaud Bai Yue.

“Is that right?” Lin Yi grabbed the fan and looked left and right, “You’re not making this up.”

“This is a matter of human life, can I speak blindly?” Bai Yue said, “Go investigate all the painters in the capital and find the lefties among them. No, start from the vicinity of the deceased, see if there are any left-handed people among his friends and acquaintances, if there are, nine times out of ten, they are the murderer”.
