The man with the beaming smile approached, extending his hand friendliny, and said to Chen Xiao, "Hi, my name is Jia Renliang..."
Chen Xiao knew he was a deeply scheming person, otherwise he wouldn't have approached him at this moment.
Because at that moment, Chen Xiao was engaging in a series of very strange behaviors, such as frantically touching his own face...
The hair was a bit long, the hairline very high, forehead broad, eyebrows arched, eyes narrow and long, nose somewhat long and very sharp, wow, why is the mouth so huge!! Chen Xiao grinned broadly, no! It seemed like the corners of his mouth were cut open, what was going on? Did he have self-harming behavior? The chin was very sharp. His entire face was long and gaunt.
"No, I must see what I look like!" Chen Xiao thought, overwhelmed by an irrepressible feeling.
It was then that he glanced at the man still extending his hand in a friendly gesture... Jia Renliang, right!
"Hey, buddy, you have to help me," Chen Xiao said to him.
Jia Renliang seemed to frown, an expression that was subtly concealed, but Chen Xiao still noticed it; however, he continued to speak very politely, "Oh? What is it?"
Chen Xiao cracked a smile and then deliberately raised his voice, "Jia Renliang, about 45 years old, with some old injuries on his face. They are concentrated around the eye sockets, the corners of the mouth, and some on the neck too, must have been quite young when he got them, the injured areas repeatedly bruised, and as he grew, they stretched but never fully faded. Childhood domestic violence? Cheek, abdomen, and thighs have quite a bit of excess fat, limbs quite thin. Probably put on weight due to anxiety-related binge eating before the age of thirty. Shoulders tense, not hunched, but head and neck always leaning forward, hotel waiter? No, must be something that requires holding a steering wheel? Lower back very arched, standing with the right foot flat, left ankle slightly turned out. Hmm, left foot needs to press the clutch and brake, looks like I guessed right."
His loud exclamation drew the attention of the people around, and Mr. Zou first contemplated, then quietly signaled to someone beside him to bring over the files on this Jia Renliang and Chen Xiao.
Meanwhile, Chen Xiao continued, "Thumb and the base of the thumb have slightly darker skin, and there are two parallel long scars on the outer side of the right palm, probably left by repeated friction in a short period of time, looks like they're over five years old, is it hemp rope? Part-time work on a construction site? No, that physique is impossible, considering he's a death row inmate, then I must assume it's from tying people up! If he acts alone, not much strength, alright, definitely a little girl then, as the rope kept rubbing against the hands during the struggle, hmm, judging from the scars, at least six or seven times, buddy, how many did you imprison, huh? So mentioned, the skin is quite delicate, rather pale, no beard... could it be that as a child when he was beaten ... ????"
(No more of these long, rambling passages in the future, really... Eyes wandering.)
"Enough!!" Jia Renliang roared, his body trembling slightly with emotion, his gaze as if he wanted to kill Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao shrugged indifferently, then turned his head towards Mr. Zou, while Mr. Zou shifted his gaze from the files in his hands, frowning as he looked at Chen Xiao.
"What are you doing... Showing off?" he asked, then suddenly realized, "Oh, well, it indeed is a good way to quickly demonstrate your capability... Hmm..."
He thought for a moment, "So, we hope you will observe carefully when you enter the building later."
Chen Xiao nodded.
"So, what do you want? Speak quickly, time is running out! Were you thinking of calling your loved one? I won't agree, and you don't look like someone who has a loved one!" Mr. Zou asked flatly.
Chen Xiao felt a bit dejected, thinking, "Is this a dig at my face?"
This whole series of actions was undoubtedly Chen Xiao's way of quickly telling Mr. Zou that he was somewhat useful in this mission, and Mr. Zou soon understood. Although this demonstration was quick and efficient, it was quite offensive, so he must have something very urgent to do.
Of course, his observation skills were indeed decent, and maybe they would be useful later, but he could only make a very minor request. And this guy called Chen Xiao should realize this.
"I need a mirror!" Chen Xiao exclaimed.
Everyone was startled...
"Ah??" Mr. Zou heard clearly but still put on a "What did you say?" expression.
Chen Xiao repeated, "I need a mirror! Oh, right, and I want to slap him!" he said, raising his hand towards the guard who had brought him.
The atmosphere around was a bit awkward; what was all this about!
...
After a while, a staff member handed a small mirror to Mr. Zou, who, somewhat puzzled, passed it to Chen Xiao, then said, "The mirror is okay, but hitting the guard is not allowed."
Chen Xiao said nothing and snatched the mirror in his hands...
It had been five chapters, and he finally saw his own face.
The skin was pale and dry. Indeed, the high hairline made his whole face appear sharper, thinner, the nose also very sharp, bridge of the nose excessively high, and the mouth... cut open along the corners, two scars horrifyingly visible, as if they were smiling.
As Chen Xiao looked at this face, which was not only ugly but also somewhat disgusting, he felt an uncontrollable urge to laugh for some reason. "Hehehe! Yes, laugh! Always laughing.!!!" He began to emit a faint, sharp laughter. At that moment, he noticed in the mirror, his own eyes, which were ugly, sunken, narrow, with very small pupils hiding something inside them?
