Chapter 63 - Comparable to Sherlock Holmes

Lu Jia’er flipped through the document again and browsed the psychological profile of the two girls. It was very professional and recorded the characteristics of the two girls, their backgrounds, development, and their state of mind. Lu Jia’er closed the document and said, “Can I meet see the two girls now?”

“Yes!” Deputy Director Li said. “I will let the person in charge of this case and the mental profiler assist you in your work!”

“Good!” Lu Jia’er nodded.

A few minutes later, Lu Jia’er and Deputy Director Li came to the office floor of the Criminal Brigade.

Most of the staff were wearing blue short-sleeved police uniforms, but in the hallway they met the criminal police officers wearing black uniforms, who saluted Deputy Director Li one by one. Lu Jia’er, who walked alongside the Deputy Director, fully realized the grim meaning of their uniforms.

In front of the office of the Deputy Captain of the Criminal Brigade, Deputy Director Li knocked on the door and went straight in. Lu Jia’er expected that the Deputy Captain of the Criminal Brigade would be a middle-aged man of forty or fifty years old. But it turned out to be a stylish man in his thirties. Yes, it’s no exaggeration to use a stylish man to describe the man in front of her. He had dark short hair, bronzed skin and a sturdy figure, and Lu Jia’er was deeply impressed by his sharp eyes.

“Xu Lei, please allow me to introduce Professor Lu Jia’er from the Department of Psychology of B University! She is the psychologist recommended by Director He of the Municipal Public Security Bureau to assist you in Case 5.30!” Deputy Director Li introduced Lu Jia’er to the Deputy Captain of the Criminal Brigade.

“Lu Jia’er!” Lu Jia’er reached out.

Xu Lei fixed his eyes on Lu Jia’er’s face. Lu Jia’er knew that he was sizing her up and couldn’t help but say, “Deputy Captain Xu, you were originally not a criminal police officer, you formerly served in the northwestern army as a Major, and have participated in two overseas peace-keeping operations. You have been in service for about 14 to 15 years. Although you are left-handed, you are also adroit with the right hand. You don’t smoke and love to drink white spirits, and your are currently single!”

After Lu Jia’er finished her analysis, Deputy Director Li was surprised, but Xu Lei was very calm. Lu Jia’er saw Xu Lei’s eyes had not become gentle yet, so she added, “The reason why you have been reassigned to your current position is because your left foot is injured!”

After hearing this sentence, Xu Lei withdrew the sharpness in his eyes, and said to Deputy Director Li, “Director Li, how could you sell me out!”

Deputy Director Li smiled and shook his head. “I said nothing. It is a psychological profile of you made by Professor Lu.”

Xu Lei looked at Lu Jia’er and asked a straightforward question, “How did you get that information, Professor Lu!”

“As soon as I entered the door, I saw a photo on the shelf behind you, it is you in a special forces uniform, and two peacekeeping photos. It is obvious that these experiences are very important in your heart. From the sunburnt marks on your face and neck, I know that you have served in the northwest. You used your right hand to sign on the documents, but the pen holder on the desk is on the left, which suggests that you are left-handed. Your white teeth tell me you don’t smoke. As for your fondness of white spirit, you have a bit of a wine stain on your collar even though it is not obvious it is a trace of white spirit, which is also a proof to show that you are currently single!” Lu Jia’er gazed at Xu Lei.

Hearing her explanation, Deputy Director Li couldn’t help but praise her. “Professor Lu, you are really worthy of your name. You are comparable to Sherlock Holmes! Xu Lei used to serve in the Northwestern Army. He was the Deputy Captain of the special forces brigade. He was a great soldier. He was transferred here last year because of injuries. At present, he is single. If there is a suitable girl around you, please look kindly on him and be a matchmaker, Professor Lu!”

Deputy Director Li was concerned about Xu Lei’s personal affairs while Xu Lei asked, “What about the leg? How did you see it!”

“Even though you walked fine however when I said that the reason for the transfer is an injury I noticed that you unconsciously touched the left leg. Although your expression seemed relaxed, it indirectly exposed your subconscious thoughts!” Lu Jia’er said.

“Professor Lu, your observations are even more acute than our criminal police officers! No wonder Director He has always praised you!” Deputy Director Li said.

Lu Jia’er smiled. “This kind of psychological profile can be done by any professional. I’m flattered!”
