I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

Chapter 55 A New Despair

The comments section was filled with both laughter and tears.

"Hahaha, a master doesn't jump!"

"I was just getting excited when Ling'er tricked me again."

"The behind-the-scenes show-off arrived on time."

"Shen Fei: The person hasn't shown up, but the rules of the masters have already been conveyed."

He Chuan, suppressing his excitement, said to the camera: "Dear viewers, we have just received confirmation from the police that the two suspected human traffickers drawn by Shen Ling'er based on Grandma Liu's memory in the old case of searching for a child more than ten years ago have helped the police identify the suspects."

"Currently, both suspects have been apprehended."

"The case is still under further investigation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the screen was almost completely filled with comments.

"Very good!"

"Grandma Liu can finally get some results!"

"Ling'er was a huge help!"

"This isn't a variety show anymore; this is witnessing a miracle."

"How on earth did Shen Fei raise such a child?"

"While other children draw sun houses at five years old, Shen Fei's daughter draws human traffickers from ten years ago."

"And the key is, they actually caught them!"

Everyone on the production team was very excited.

Even the usually composed Yang Mi had tears in his eyes.

She crouched down and hugged Shen Ling'er.

"Ling'er, you really helped Grandma."

Shen Ling'er felt a little uncomfortable being held by her.

"Mom, please don't strangle me."

Yang Mi stopped crying and started laughing, feeling a little relieved.

"You still dislike your mother?"

Shen Ling'er whispered, "I don't mind."

She paused, then added.

"But I still want to grow taller."

Yang Mi smiled and ruffled her hair.

Zhao Lei exclaimed from the side, "That's amazing!"

"Last night I was thinking, can people from over a decade ago really be found based on portraits?"

"They caught them in just one night."

Bai Sisi nodded, her voice very soft: "Sometimes it's just that one line that makes all the difference."

He Chuan couldn't help but say, "This line was drawn by Ling'er."

Shen Ling'er looked up.

"I'm not alone."

Everyone was taken aback.

Shen Ling'er said earnestly, "Grandma remembers."

"It was the police who investigated."

"I'm just drawing."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a moment.

The comments section softened as well.

"Ling'er is not just arrogant."

"She knew that the credit wasn't given to one person alone."

"This child has been taught so well by Shen Fei."

"Stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside, and remarkably clear-headed."

"Shen Fei is becoming more and more admirable as a father."

Zhao Lei couldn't help but give a thumbs up after hearing this.

"Ling'er, what you said is so true."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Then remember that."

Zhao Lei: "Remember what?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "Don't just praise me all the time in the future."

Zhao Lei was about to nod.

Shen Ling'er continued, "She also praised my father."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The barrage of comments exploded instantly.

"Hahaha, here it comes!"

"After all that buildup, it all comes down to praising Dad in the end!"

"Shen Fei has once again successfully pulled off a behind-the-scenes show of arrogance."

Ling'er: Everyone deserves credit, but my father must be seated at the table alone.

Yang Mi rubbed his forehead.

"You."

Shen Ling'er spoke with righteous indignation.

Did I say something wrong?

Yang Mi thought for a moment.

There was no way to refute it.

Because if Shen Fei hadn't taught Shen Ling'er these things, those two portraits wouldn't have appeared yesterday.

He Chuan quickly contacted Qin Zheng.

After the call was connected, the production team played the audio aloud.

Qin Zheng's voice was hoarse from not having slept all night.

"The person has been caught."

He Chuan asked, "Captain Qin, could you please explain how you locked onto it?"

Qin Zheng paused for a moment.

"It can be said that it is part of the story."

"Last night, after the technical team entered the portrait drawn by Shen Ling'er into the system, they screened it in conjunction with old case files and information on key personnel around the train station from that year."

"If it's just a general description, the scope is very broad."

"But there are several key features in the portrait."

"Women's habits regarding the corners of their eyes, the corners of their mouths, curly hair, and earrings."

"The man's thick eyebrows, face shape, and a circular burn scar on the left side of his neck."

"Especially circular burn scars."

"This feature is very rare."

"We quickly identified a man who had been suspected of human trafficking from old case files."

"Following up his name change records, temporary residence registration, and recent surveillance footage, we were able to pinpoint his current address."

He Chuan was alarmed.

"So, the details in the portrait are crucial?"

Qin Zheng said in a deep voice, "It's extremely crucial."

Teacher Luo's voice also came from the side.

"You could say that."

"Without those two portraits, we might still be rummaging through old files."

"With the profiles, the screening targets have been narrowed down by at least 90%."

"Especially the eyes and expressions that Ling'er drew, which allowed us to quickly determine which people were not right when comparing old photos."

Zhao Lei couldn't help but exclaim, "Shrunk by 90%?"

Qin Zhengdao: "Even more."

The live stream chat exploded again.

"Holy crap! It's shrunk by 90%!"

"Ling'er, this isn't drawing, this is using navigation!"

"A cold case from over a decade ago, a single sketch led the police directly to the suspect."

"How on earth did Shen Fei teach them?!"

"While others teach children to draw apples, Shenfei teaches children to narrow down the range of suspects."

"This is no longer an interest class; this is a masterclass in criminal investigation."

He Chuan glanced at Shen Ling'er.

"Ling'er, did you hear that? Teacher Luo said your drawing was crucial."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Um."

He Chuan asked, "Aren't you excited?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

I'm hungry.

He Chuan: "..."

Zhao Lei laughed so hard he bent over.

"Great! Very stable!"

"After catching human traffickers, a master strategist's first reaction is to eat!"

Shen Ling'er frowned as she looked at him.

"I ate the pre-prepared breakfast."

Zhao Lei nodded immediately.

"I understand, breakfast hasn't started yet."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Ling'er: Solving cases is one thing, but you can't go hungry."

Shen Fei's quote: "If you can't even eat properly, don't talk about life."

"She really did follow her father's words to the end."

"I can already imagine how Shen Fei usually takes care of the kids."

Just as everyone was getting excited, there was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

Qin Zheng lowered his voice.

"There's one more thing."

He Chuan sensed something was wrong.

"Captain Qin, what's wrong?"

Yang Mi also looked up at her phone.

Shen Ling'er stopped eating the small cookie.

Qin Zheng remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "The two suspects have already confessed that they did indeed participate in child trafficking at the train station back then."

The hall fell silent instantly.

This should have been good news.

But Qin Zheng's tone was too somber.

He Chuan's throat tightened.

"And... what about Xiaobao?"

Qin Zheng did not answer immediately on the other end of the phone.

The silence, which lasted only a few seconds, seemed to stretch on endlessly.

Finally, he whispered, "They said they don't know where the child is now."

Everyone's expression froze.

The chat in the live stream seemed to have been paused.

Qin Zheng continued, "According to their initial confessions, they were just middlemen in the human trafficking chain back then."

"The child was taken away and quickly resold."
