I'm Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl

Chapter 858: Infernal Affairs

Xiao Qin, what are you doing? It’s true that there were four criminals who snatched phones, but there was no need to draw four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

The police officer’s faces all turned to different shades of purple.

Also, the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles weren’t even drawn well. The head was exceptionally large while the body was tiny, so it basically looked like a large and a small potato attached to each other. Then, it had four limbs growing out the side of the body.

The four turtles had very wanton expressions and each of them made you want to hit them. I think in terms of expression, it looked quite similar to those criminals.

The problem is that a facial composite needs more than expression. The police need to actually find people who look similar to the sketches.

“Little girl, I think you drew the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”

One of the police officers said.

“These aren’t the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” Xiao Qin, who was waiting to be praised, shook her finger and said, “It’s a portrait drawn by me using my superior instantaneous memory to recreate the prisoner’s facial features.”

“I already see the dual katana’s on Da Vinci’s back.”

A relatively younger police officer said an earlier version of Leo’s name. It looks like there are people who know their stuff hiding among the police.

“How is that possible…” Xiao Qin finally had a more serious expression after everyone said that she drew Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Her eyes widened after she took her drawing back and took another look.

“Ah!?”

She cried out in surprise at the drawing that she spent five minutes on.

It wasn’t only half of all the police officers that were startled, even I was startled.

“My drawing didn’t look like this, it was drawn much better.”

I understand. It’s like sometimes when I get my tests back and I don’t believe I wrote it when I see really stupid mistakes.

The compartment where we were making the statement only had one table and three chairs. One of the chairs was taken away earlier, so Xiao Qin and I were the only ones sitting down while six or seven other police officers remained standing.

They actually didn’t need this many people for a statement, but they came to watch when they heard a young manga artist was volunteering to sketch a portrait of the suspects.

In the end, on top of being able to see a sketch of ninja turtles, they were also able to see that the manga artist had some schizophrenic tendencies as she couldn’t recognize the drawing she made five minutes ago.

“Who was it? Who did this?” Xiao Qin trembled as she held her drawing, “I clearly drew four people, how did it turn into four turtles?”

The police officers looked at each other and probably thought: “How would I know? It’s probably because it took you five minutes to realize your own drawing sucked and you don’t want to admit it.”

“I understand. There’s a traitor among the police.”

Xiao Qin tossed out an unexpected conclusion after denying that it was her drawing.

“What?”

“Hmph hmph.” Xiao Qin snorted a couple times, “The traitor must have discovered my sketch looks exactly like the suspect, so they must have erased it and drew four turtles to cover up for their accomplices.”

Her deductions left everyone speechless.

“How would that be possible?” I said, “How fast would they have to be to erase your drawing then draw four turtles?”

“Why wouldn’t it be possible?” Xiao Qin’s face was as red as a tomato. It was obvious she just realized her own drawing wasn’t going to help them catch the suspects and she started to have regrets.

“These… these simple lines can be drawn in a flash. It’s childish and inferior, it’s just a child’s drawing.”

You clearly spent ten minutes earlier to draw those four turtles.

Lao Yuan couldn’t keep listening anymore, so he said:

“Alright, alright, it’s understandable that you’re not great at portrait sketches. My daughter’s classmate also calls herself a manga artist, but could only draw princesses with long necks and said manga artists only need imagination…”

“I’m not the same as them.” Xiao Qin denied, “I’m a manga artist that’s been published online and have a lot of readers…”

Actually, someone who can only draw princesses with long necks probably has a better foundation in drawing than Xiao Qin.

“Ah, so that’s how it is.” Xiao Qin put the drawing down on the table, then glared towards Lao Yuan.

“You were the one who took our statements and the first to take my drawing, that’s why…”

“You’re the traitor! You’re accomplices with the phone snatchers. You’re the one who erased my drawing and changed it to turtles!”

“I…” Lao Yuan couldn’t say anything to Xiao Qin’s random accusation.

“Hahaha.” The other police officers began to laugh. It was probably the first time they encountered something so comical during work and it helped them alleviate some stress.

“That’s right Lao Yuan, the drawing does have your style.”

“Why don’t you put it into a frame and show it to your kid.”

“That’s right, Lao Yuan is definitely a traitor. I’ve reported it to the higher ups, but no one did anything about it.”

Other than those bad colleagues who laughed at Lao Yuan, there were some reliable ones who said to Xiao Qin:

“Little girl, even if Lao Yuan did erase your drawing, can’t you just draw it again?”

“I, I can’t do it anymore. It was a sudden inspiration that comes only once in a lifetime. If the Mona Lisa was destroyed, can Da Vinci draw another one?”

“Are you talking about the Da Vinci with a beard or the one with dual katanas?”

The younger officer from earlier joked.

“Anyway, I can’t trust a police station that has a traitor.”

Xiao Qin jumped up to leave and the police didn’t stop her. It’s not like she was a suspect, she was just someone who boasted too much but couldn’t draw a proper sketch.

“I’m sorry about that.” I said to the police before I followed Xiao Qin, “She doesn’t know how to draw at all but still tries to show off. Sorry for wasting everyone’s time.”

“No problem.” Lao Yuan waved his hand, “It’s already good enough you came to make a statement. We still have to thank you for getting one of the stolen phones back. Honestly, I feel like those manga will interfere with your studies and you should read less of it…”

“Huh, Lao Yuan, you traitor, don’t speak on behalf of us.”

His colleagues still joked.

“That’s right. Little girl, once we get rid of the traitor, feel free to come again. We will definitely use the clues you left behind to catch those criminals!”

“How about locking Lao Yuan up first?”

Lao Yuan was embarrassed after being teased by his colleagues. Xiao Qin also blushed as she walked quickly out of the station and only slowed down once we were over 20 meters away.

“Ah….” Xiao Qin looked up anxiously at the white clouds in the sky, “Why did I feel like the drawing was bad after holding it for over 5 minutes?”

You really shouldn’t have taken 5 minutes to realize it.

“There’s a lot of readers of Cthulhu Also Wants Love who says my drawings suck, but I didn’t realize it because I was drawing fantasy… why did my drawing suddenly turn into four turtles today?”

I could only shrug in response.

“Ye Lin classmate, did we really cross hands earlier with humans and not Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?”

“Of course. Do you think we could even beat one Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2v1 with our skills?”

“That’s true, but ever since I finished my drawing, my memories are in a mess and I could only think about the scene of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles snatching phones…”

The feeling of failure didn’t last long as Xiao Qin quickly regained confidence under her own encouragement.

“It doesn’t matter, maybe I drew them as turtles because they looked like turtles. Also, a lot of manga artists aren’t good at human sketches.”

“Plus, Cthulhu Also Wants Love is a fantasy manga, I only need my imagination.”

Hey, isn’t that what the classmate of Lao Yuan’s daughter said? Didn’t you just say earlier that you weren’t the same?

Next, Xiao Qin asked me about the person next to Fan Chuan who looked like the class leader.

I assumed it would be hard to keep it a secret from her, so I told her the truth.

“So it is him… does the class leader know her brother degenerated into a cross dresser?”

“The class leader only knows her brother wore women’s clothing before and doesn’t know his current situation… but don’t use this to blackmail the class leader.”

Xiao Qin shook her head, “I won’t. If I do that, you will hate me. However, you did tell me to be honest, so should I tell the class leader about Shu Zhe?”

“Definitely not.” I quickly stopped her, “It’s… not the right time. Let’s keep it a secret for now and give Shu Zhe the chance to come clean himself.”

I don’t actually think Shu Zhe will ever come clean to his sister, but I felt like I played a part in his transformation process. If the class leader found out the truth, then she definitely wouldn’t forgive me.

Xiao Qin promised she wouldn’t tell the class leader about Shu Zhe for the time being. I treated her to a meal on the sixth store of the electronics market. She even asked me to teach her how to check her stars during the meal and she quickly forgot all about Shu Zhe.

Something happened later that I never would have expected: The police actually caught one of the criminals based on Xiao Qin’s sketch and followed the clues to take down a seven man gang.

How is that possible? That was also my first reaction when I heard the news.

Lao Yuan explained: He was never able to forget the expression of the turtle’s faces. One day, he was patrolling down the streets and saw a young man with the exact same smile. He felt like that man had to be the criminal and it turns out his guess was correct.

It looks like Xiao Qin excelled at capturing another person’s expressions. No wonder the readers of Cthulhu Also Wants Love always remembers the characters and even have nightmares about them.
