"What did you find?"Edgar Austin's actions made Elaine curious.

Edgar Austin smiled and said, "Nothing, I'm sure it's the key."

"Do you still remember the appearance of the man and the woman?"

"Of course you remember, I will describe them to you, can you draw them?"

"Of course. I learned sketching when I was in the police academy and even won an award."Elaine found paper and pen and sat across from Edgar Austin, "I'm ready. Let's start. Let's draw the man first." .”

Edgar Austin slowly described the features of the man in the suit, while Elaine slowly sketched them with a pen.

If there was a device that could print out the images in Edgar Austin brain, the photo of the man in the suit and the sexy girl could be obtained in one second. Unfortunately, there is no such device at all.

While describing to Elaine, Edgar Austin was also secretly thinking about his "photographic memory" ability. In fact, this ability has gone beyond the scope of "photographic memory", because even if you have photographic memory, you cannot remember everything you have seen, let alone all the characteristics and details of a person you have seen. But his left eye can save everything he has seen as a "photo". As long as he recalls it, he can recall everything.

"I have such ability. If I learn International Common Language or other foreign languages ​​by myself, memorizing words will not be difficult for me. Why don't I try?" Thinking of this, Edgar Austin was already eager to try.

Elaine drew two portraits, one of a man in a suit and one of a sexy girl.

Edgar Austin looked at the two portraits together and found that the similarity was over 95%. After all, sketches and portraits are not photos, and it is already remarkable that they can reach this level.

"Is it them? Let me confirm for the last time."Elaine looked at Edgar Austin.

Edgar Austin nodded, "It's these two people."

"You sit here for a while, and I will immediately have the portraits of these two people added to the Skynet system to arrest them."Elaine picked up the two portraits and walked out.

Edgar Austin said: "Can I see the information on this key?"

"Okay, watch whatever you want."Elaine left the office.

Edgar Austin took Professor Zhang Boqing's research information in his hand and read half a page. He suddenly thought: "Why don't I try the new ability of my left eye?"

After previous combing, he has actually determined that this ability is not the memory of his brain, but the ability of his left eye to "preserve images".

Thinking of this, Edgar Austin stopped reading normally, and instead quickly scanned the pages of information with his eyes. It took him less than a minute to "read" the information that originally took him almost ten minutes to read. Then, he closed his eyes and recalled the contents of the information.

Suddenly, paragraphs of text and pictures emerged in his mind. Not a single word was missing, and even punctuation marks such as commas and periods were not missed! The pictures on the information are also very clear and 100% consistent!

The cast iron key mentioned in Professor Santiago's research materials is an antiquities from the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. According to his research, this key is most likely the key used to open the vault door. The pattern on the key is not only the key to opening the vault door, but it may also be part of a map...

This is a very mysterious thing.

After recalling all the contents, Edgar Austin couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. He laughed out loud, "Unbelievable... What are I waiting for? I should go to the bookstore to buy materials for learning international lingua franca, as well as Voluntary Language, Ransi, Neon, Surie... As long as I want to learn it, there is probably no foreign language in the world that I can't learn, right?"

He didn't know what abilities his left eye had yet to discover, but what he had already discovered, apart from the ability to see through, was probably the most practical ability to "preserve images" in front of him.

It takes a long time and a lot of effort and energy for a person to learn a piece of knowledge. But with this ability, these learning difficulties are no longer difficult. His left eye has opened a window to the academic world for him, and what he sees is not a ray of sunshine, but the entire sun!

"What are you laughing at? Are you sick?"Elaine walked into the office and looked at Edgar Austin with curious eyes.

Edgar Austin then put away his thoughts and smiled, "I am indeed ill, and the illness is not serious."

Elaine came close to Edgar Austin and reached out to touch his forehead, "It's not hot or feverish. Are you crazy?"

She was very close, her body was covered with good-smelling perfume, and her beautiful figure was looming in the collar, white and tender. At this moment, Edgar Austin almost couldn't help but see through her again. He looked away and then stood up, "Okay, I've helped you draw the portraits of the two suspects. Is there anything you can do now? If nothing happens, I'll leave. I have to go to the store to organize things. The opening thing.”

"I really want to visit your shop."Elaine said with a smile: "That's good. It's better to run your own shop than to work on a construction site. Tell me, where do you have so much money to open a shop? ?”

"Isn't the wife I saved good enough? Okay, I won't bullshit you anymore. I'm leaving. Goodbye."Edgar Austin said and left.

"Edgar, if the case is solved this time, I will treat you to dinner."Elaine said.

Edgar Austin looked back at her, "Are you going to that Sichuan restaurant?"

Elaine shook her head, "No, let's find a Sichuan restaurant instead."

Edgar Austin, "..."

At this time, a middle-aged police officer appeared at the door of the office, blocking Edgar Austin's way.

Edgar Austin politely gave in and glanced at his work badge. This middle-aged police officer's name is Major, and he wears the title of First Class Superintendent, which is the same level as Elaine current police title.

This Major is the deputy director of this branch. After Sebastian was dismissed, he thought he would be the one to take over the main position, but he did not expect that the superiors made an exception and promoted Elaine, a yellow-haired girl. Among the entire Beigong Branch, he was also the one who was most dissatisfied with Elaine.

Major glanced at Edgar Austin Lei, then strode into Elaine's office. He smashed the two printed portraits on Elaine's desk, "Director Jiang, you released it without even a single bit of evidence." Wanted warrant, this is against the rules!”

Elaine shoulders trembled slightly after being hit by him, and her voice even trembled a little, "Director Major... what kind of evidence do you need? My friend saw it with his own eyes. It can't be wrong." "

"Your friend?"Major looked back at Edgar Austin. He suddenly remembered, wasn't the young man in front of him the same guy who made Sebastian fall?

Jiang Ruyi waved to Edgar Austin, "Edgar, tell Director Major what you know."

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Edgar Austin's mouth, and he secretly said in his heart: "You, the director, are really a coward. You are like a tigress in front of me and a rabbit in front of others. I really have you..." He muttered in his heart. He looked at it with a calm expression on his face, and said, "That's it, these two suspects found me yesterday, and I helped them weld the key, which was the key that was stolen from Professor Santiago's house."

"What do you know? Who are you? Did I ask you?"Major slapped Edgar Austin in the face.

Edgar Austin was stunned for a moment and then got angry, "Am I talking to you? Who are you? I'm talking to Bureau Jiang, what's the matter with you? I only talk to the chief bureau, deputy bureaus and so on. Too lazy to pay attention."

"You——"Major's fat face suddenly turned the color of pig liver due to anger. What he hates most is that people call him deputy director, but this kid in front of him only hurts his feet!

Elaine awkwardly: "Edgar, don't be like this..."

Edgar Austin said: "And you, I'm not talking about you, you are in the right position and your position is above him, but he comes to you to get angry, why should he?"

Major pointed at Edgar Austin's nose, "Boy, please show some respect to me!"

Edgar Austin sneered and said: "I only respect people who deserve respect, just forget it. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Elaine has found clues to solve the case. You are worried that she will solve the case within a week and sit down from now on." You have no hope of taking your position in the bureau, right?"

The corners of Major's mouth twitched twice, but he was speechless. Edgar Austin really guessed what he was thinking. Elaine suddenly drew a portrait of the suspect, and he panicked. That's why he came to Elaine's office to cause trouble, hoping to delay Elaine's solving the case.

Edgar Austin said: "You take the country's salary and don't think about how to solve the case, but you come here to hold things back for your own personal gain. I really feel ashamed for people like you. Since you don't want to solve the case, what kind of police are you? Do you know the reason above? Should I choose Elaine instead of you? With your thinking, you will never be able to sit on the position of director in this life."

"Okay, okay, let's wait and see! Elaine, go solve the case alone!"Major grabbed the two portraits he took on his desk, crumpled them into a ball and smashed them into the wastebasket. He walked out of the office angrily, and glared at Edgar Austin bitterly when he went out.

Elaine and Edgar Austin were the only two people left in the office, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.

"Edgar." Jiang Ruyi broke the silence after a Elaine, "I didn't expect you to be so good at talking. Why do you always lose when I quarrel with you?"

Edgar Austin smiled bitterly, "The current situation is not good for you, do you still have the heart to make fun of me?"

"Why is it bad for me?"Elaine looked puzzled.

Edgar Austin said: "Didn't you hear what Major said just now? You went to solve the case alone. Don't you understand the meaning of this sentence? It is difficult for you to command the people in this police station, even if you take them with you When trying to solve a case, they will do it perfunctorily and not try their best.”

Elaine was stunned on the spot.

Edgar Austin sighed, "You are too naive. You were sold to help count the money. Do you think you were suddenly promoted from an office clerk to a chief. How many people in this police station will obey you? After Sebastian was dismissed, The person who speaks in this police station is Major, not you. He has the prestige he has established over the years, and the people he has trained, but you have nothing. In addition, everyone in this police station is I think you will be removed from office in a week and your replacement will be Major. Do you think they will listen to Major or you?" 1

Elaine shook her head, "I don't believe it. Work is work, and there are always people who stick to principles, right? Even if I will be dismissed from my post in a week, I will still be the director of this branch during this week. I don't believe in my command." Don't touch them. You come with me and I'm going to prove you wrong."

Edgar Austin smiled bitterly, "I have worked hard in society these years and have seen through the world. There is no need to prove anything to me. I have already done what I can do. I can't help with this kind of thing. I have to go. .”

"Oh, I won't take you long."Elaine grabbed Edgar Austin's hand and dragged him towards the police officer's office area.
