"That... man... was about half a head taller than me. He had a short chin, like a double chin, high cheekbones, and he wore an all-black hat, just a normal baseball cap, woohoo, I… I don't remember. clear."
"Don't be afraid, think slowly, what do you remember about his appearance?"
"... eyes are fierce, face is a little dark, I... I really don't remember, I was scared stupid at the time... a lot of blood... "
"What other physical characteristics does he have?"
"His neck seems a little short and thick, a little hunched..."
"Do you have a long beard?"
"Ugh... beard... I still seem to have a beard, but I don't seem to have, I can't remember... I really can't remember."
The witness was a 15-year-old girl with big watery eyes. She had just entered the city, but she was not yet fully grown and had no formal employment contract. illegal child labor. She had long been frightened by what she had encountered before. She was crying, and she only finished her words intermittently with the comfort of the police.
The whole process of the murder happened in the early hours of yesterday, and the whole process took place within five minutes. She was hiding under the pool where she was washing her hair. She was frightened by the blood and the dead. She only remembered that the murderer had a disgusting face. From the beginning of the case, that face was imprinted in her mind, lingering, and all the features were clearly there, but when she thought about it carefully, there were only scattered fragments.
"If you draw it, can you recognize it?"
The girl nodded hesitantly, while wiping away her tears, she looked at the person who was drawing on the opposite side. The man sitting in the interrogation room crossed Erlang's legs and drew on the sketch paper with a pencil.
It was a young man in his twenties. At this time, he lowered his head and looked focused. From this angle, he had deep facial features, a high nose bridge, and a clean face. Despite sitting in a sitting position, it can still be seen that he is tall and his legs are slender. The hand holding the paintbrush has distinct joints and moves very quickly. It looks like wanton indulgence, but in fact, it has a strong control over the stroke of the brush. The second joint of the little finger is occasionally drawn at the pencil, as just the right smudge, not long after, a figure outline is drawn...
Just seven hours ago, at twelve o'clock in the morning, a vicious murder occurred in a small hair salon in the west of Nancheng City, which was about to close. A short and fat man suddenly rushed in and stabbed to death the proprietress of the salon.
The suspect took away the murder weapon, leaving no hair, only half a blood-colored footprint, and the rain washed away the other traces. The shampoo girl in the hair salon was an eyewitness, but the little girl was so frightened that she could provide very limited information. The autopsy found that several knives were stabbed into the abdomen, injuring the liver, and he died immediately after excessive blood loss. Other than that, there was not much information.
The suspect was not seeking money, and the various cash in the store remained untouched. The victim's social relationship seemed simple, but it was very complicated to arrange it carefully, and it took a lot of time to figure it out. The valid evidence that can be relied on is the little girl who can't speak clearly, and a video captured by a camera at the entrance of the hair salon.
But the video is too blurry, with only a blurred profile face of a man with a hat on. The murderer turned his head in the camera and turned to the front, still a moving black and white light and shadow.
Tian Ming, as the captain of the criminal police in charge of solving this case, could only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor when he got these materials. He immediately went to Wang Rui, the head of the imaging department of the police station, who was specially recruited into the police station and was good at avatar simulation.
Wang Rui's independent office is as quiet as a studio, but the walls are covered with various shoulder-length sketches or 3D models - men, women, old people, and even children. These people or It is a vicious murderer, or a key figure in the case, or a person who has been missing for a long time. Those graphics made the whole room airtight, and Tian Ming felt that he was going crazy just by being watched by these countless pairs of eyes. He hurriedly lowered his eyelids and told Wang Rui the basic situation.
Wang Rui looked at the things he handed over and couldn't do anything: "Tian team, isn't it difficult for you to be strong? With these things, I can't simulate killing me."
Tian Ming knew that his information was really lacking, but he stubbornly said, "Why can't we simulate it? There is monitoring and witness descriptions, isn't it enough?"
"Three-dimensional simulation, you have to give me the data on the front side, and the witnesses have to give a detailed description." Wang Rui spread his hands and said that he was really helpless: "There is too little information, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. I am not skilled enough, I can't imagine it. I'll give you a random mess. If you can't catch anyone later, come back and blame me. "
Just when the deadlock was broken. Gu Ju, who was watching the progress, gave Tian Ming advice, and said lightly: "Song Wen just handed in the closing report of the previous case. He is free now, or why don't you go to him for help?"
Then Wang Rui didn't think it was a big deal: "Yes, Team Song will definitely do it. He is much better than me."
help? ! Tian Ming only felt a nasty anger floating in his chest, he glared at Wang Rui: "Little brother, then what is the use of our city bureau? Simply combine the salary with Song Wen's."
Wang Rui said aggrieved: "Team Tian, I sit here full-time for eight hours a day. Team Song is a busy man. Can he do it? Well, if you dislike me, don't come to me next time."
Yes, all of them are uncles, and they can't afford to offend them. Tian Ming reluctantly walked out the door with his notebook.
When he mentioned Song Wen's name, he was very angry.
There are three teams under the Criminal Police Detachment of Nancheng Bureau, the first team leader Song Wen, the second team leader Tian Ming, and the third team leader Cheng Mo. Among the three teams, it is said that they are colleagues and teammates, but there is fierce competition inside. The reason is that the detachment captain above is vacant, and whoever does a good job may take this position. Among the three, the three captains are sleek and Buddhist, and because they are old, they don't seem to be competing. The main competition took place between Tian Ming, the second captain, and Song Wen, the first captain.
Tian Ming has a characteristic, that is, he is competitive, and he likes to be the best in everything. His name is taken from a blockbuster. When Song Wen was just promoted to captain, Tian Ming couldn't help comparing himself with him—Tian Ming, thirty-two years old, working for ten years, in his prime, with rich experience, has repeatedly solved major cases, received two awards, and has been in the market for three consecutive years. The bureau has the highest crime detection rate; Song Wen is twenty-five years old and has worked for two and a half years.
Anyone who knows who is better, right
Tian Ming thought that he was more than enough to press a hairy young man. Unexpectedly, the results of last year's evaluation were rubbed by Song Wen on the ground. Not only was the case-solving rate 6.5 higher than his, but he was also a lot worse than Song Wen in the year-end personal assessment.
What's even more irritating is that Song Wen was worse than him in the preparatory test, and he didn't know how to practice. In the official test, whether it was shooting or fighting, his scores were higher than him. Moreover, this Song Wen also had a hand. The stunt of the suspect portrait. Wang Rui, a technician who was specially kept in the police station, could not draw pictures, but he captured them.
In this regard, Tian Ming can only express the emotion of both Shengyu and He Shengliang.
It's just a matter of getting angry on weekdays. Now, let him ask Song Wen for help? Unless you write his last name upside down!
After half an hour, Tian Ming obediently went to Song Wen's desk, smiled calmly and said, "Team Song, do me a favor, our team has encountered a problem, help us draw a portrait. "
The memories of witnesses and clues at the scene will become more and more difficult to restore with the passage of time. Tian Ming knows in his heart that Gu Ju's suggestion is correct. Confirming the portrait of the criminal as soon as possible will be of great help in solving the case. . As long as it is for the sake of the case, a man can bend and stretch, and make compromises.
So, there were three people sitting in the current interrogation room, one witness, and two police captains. The little girl had already said everything she had to say, sobbing silently there. Tian Ming was also quiet for a while. In the small interrogation room, Only the rustling of the pen and paper in Song Wen's hand could be heard.
Tian Ming sat nervously in front of the table, watching Song Wen's brush flying like a fly, stopping from time to time to take a look at the surveillance screen on the notebook beside him before continuing to draw.
Tian Ming rubbed his eyes and wanted to see some valid information, but the picture was full of mosaics, and he couldn't even see where the eyes were, let alone identify facial features. Looking at Song Wen painted on the side, Tian Ming thought to himself, wouldn't this person trick me into painting
Thinking of this, Tian Ming felt a little regretful in his heart. He shouldn't listen to Gu Ju's words so much. What if this surnamed Song stumbles on him, just draw a random drawing and make him more unable to catch people, or he does useless work. manage? Just thinking about it, Song Wen stopped the pen, flicked the pencil shavings on the drawing, picked it up and asked the girl, "What else is different?"
The pencil portrait is a bit wanton, not as carefully drawn by an art student. It does not look like a work of art by a master, nor does it look like an academic from a major, but when you look closely, it has distinct characteristics. There are not many brushstrokes, but the characters are outlined in a few strokes, and the facial features are even more vivid.
The girl glanced at it and cried again. She pointed at the painting and said, "Like, it's too similar, it's Sister Yun who was killed by this person." The bloody disaster an hour ago was this face, her nightmare.
Song Wen put down the painting and got up and said, "Then I have nothing to do here." The lights in the interrogation room were dim, and when he looked up, the little girl could see his face clearly. Big, but he is young and heroic, and has a unique juvenile publicity. He is even more handsome than when he lowered his head and looked down. He couldn't help but stop crying and look a few more times.
Only then did Tian Ming feel relieved. He felt a little ashamed that he had saved the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. He looked at the painting and the surveillance footage. Thinking about the previous witness's description, he couldn't help but be amazed: "Thanks to Team Song, but how... how did you draw it?"
"Talent." Song Wen raised his eyebrows and uttered two words briefly, without the slightest humility in his words.
Tian Ming's face couldn't be hung up for a moment, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. At this time, he really wanted to give himself a mouth.
Fortunately, Song Wen didn't mind whether he came down the steps, and turned around as soon as the door closed.
The human face is made up of bones, flesh and skin. Each piece of bone grows with age, and the movement of muscles changes due to various external and internal factors. These changes are not irregular. Some experienced old detectives can recognize grown-up people from the crowd based on a childhood photo. This is the reason.
In modern criminal investigation, the police are increasingly relying on the ever-changing science and technology, such as DNA testing, various surveillance videos, these traditional skills are not as valued as in the past, just like Wang Rui, although he is responsible for avatar tracing, More work is responsible for the imaging department, using computers instead of brushes, using electronic databases, and 3D modeling to form eyebrows and facial features that can be replaced at any time. The simulated portraits produced in this way save a lot of time.
But Song Wen felt that as a criminal police captain, he needed a good skill. He didn't think the criminal investigation simulation portrait would be outdated, and he liked the feeling of finding out people's hearts from the description of the facial features. Although the three-dimensional images are fast, they lack soul and can only be used as a reference.
Song Wen likes to study people's faces. Thousands of people have thousands of faces, just like no two leaves are exactly the same. Even identical twins have different looks. , just like a person's fingerprint, DNA, is the unique information of each person. Moreover, his appearance is also inseparable from his growth experience and living habits. It can be said that the joys, sorrows, joys, joys and sorrows of the years are hidden in it.
Just now, although the words of the little girl were unknown, they revealed important features. The prominent chin retraction may be caused by mouth breathing for many years. Correspondingly, the nose will be enlarged, the nasolabial folds will be deepened, the upper jaw is not fully developed, and the cheekbones will be enlarged. It will obviously lead to the deformation of the eyes, the hunchback posture will produce rich bags, wretched necks... This series of features are like dominoes, which increase the characteristics of the facial features and influence each other. Although the video is blurry, it provides a very important point, that is, the changes of light and shadow on the face. There is a lot of information in those mosaics.
Although Song Wen is not a professional, he has an unmatched observational power. In his brain, these bones are moved and assembled like a puzzle, which finally allows him to draw a similar portrait of a suspect. Everything that seems miraculous is actually the result of cleverness, experience, and repeated practice and observation. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is talent, but these Song Wen are too lazy to explain to outsiders.
After about half an hour, a small policeman from the second team came over and said: "Song team, Tian team asked me to come again to thank you, after we showed the portrait of the deceased's mother, the other party recognized that she was engaged to the victim before. The victim insisted on breaking off the marriage, dated her own boyfriend, and blocked the suspect’s contact information, which is how…”
Song Wen nodded: "Just find it."
