Chapter 286: Portrait

I suddenly patted myself on the head and said, "That's fine!" ”

Now that I know the face of the murderer, I can ask the master of the face portrait to help us draw the face of the murderer and post it on the official website of our police station, and at the same time send a notice of arrest to the outside so that all citizens can pay attention to this person!

That's really the way to do it.

I went to the director's office and knocked on the door, but now no one answered.

It seems that the elusive director is missing again, I sighed, why is this person missing every time it comes to a critical moment?

No way, I'm used to it for a long time. Leaving his office, I went to the personnel department to ask if we had any experts in criminal portraits in the police department.

But sadly, no.

I pounded the table in an angry manner, no way, our side is also a small city, so talented people generally don't come to work here. Even if you do, you may change jobs soon.

Forget it, if there is no one in the police station, then I will have to ask for the help of the people.

I started searching online for professional portraits, and got in touch with a man who claimed to be a professional portrait for 30 years, and told him that we were arresting a criminal, but there was no direct source of the criminal's photograph right now, so he needed help with the portrait.

The man seemed to be more than happy to help the police, so he quickly agreed. He was invited by me to come to our police station to paint, and I was the one who described the person.

In the afternoon, the "master of 30 years of professional portraiture" came to our police station, and I personally received him and asked a few comrades to help us clean up a studio for painting.

This master is not as old as I thought, probably in his thirties. He was tall and thin, with a thick black beard on his chin. The "Master of Portraits" wears a gray hat with a pigtail leaking out of his hat.

It seems that this master's style is really incomprehensible to ordinary people.

I shook hands with the master and exchanged a few casual pleasantries.

"What kind of criminal did the officer ask me to draw this time?" He asked.

"Huh? Does this still have an impact on painting? ”

He rubbed the pile of beard on his chin and said solemnly, "Of course. What kind of person will have what kind of look. The murderer has a fierce appearance, the wicked have an evil appearance, and the good person has a good appearance, these are all facts that the ancients have told us. It's just that modern psychology has taken these things out and studied them again. ”

I let out an "oh" as if I realized it, and it occurred to me that the theory of this master's painting was really interesting.

"It's a murderer. Oh yes, and it's probably a military man. ”

When I heard me talk about soldiers, the master suddenly raised his head and stared at me a few times.

"Soldiers?" He blinked.

"Hmm. Judging from the information we have so far, it should be a soldier. ”

He nodded thoughtfully, stood there in silence for a few seconds, and then suddenly sat down and opened his "treasure chest": it was full of tools for painting, large and small, thick and thin brushes, and some professional supplies that I can't name.

"Then let's get started, time is pressing." The master said.

"You first describe to me the overall appearance of this person and what kind of feeling it gives you." He asked, pulling out the tools he wanted to use from the box.

I thought about it for a moment, and then said, "His eyes are what impressed me the most. His eyes give people a sense of both good and evil. Sometimes he makes you feel like he's a very good guy. But sometimes he does things that make you feel that he is still essentially a bad person. Can't believe it. ”

"Interesting. This is the first time I've heard a police officer describe a prisoner's eyes like that. The master nodded and began to paint on the canvas.

At this point, the canvas is facing away from me, so I don't know what he painted on the canvas, and whether the final result is good or not depends on the final result.

"Tell me about his eyes and eyelashes."

"Well, master, I kind of forgot about this."

"It's okay, you haven't forgotten, you know you don't know how to describe it for the time being. Let me guide you. I ask you, are his eyes big or small? ”

"Great."

"Do you have wrinkles in the corners of his eyes?"

"Yes."

"Are his eyes round or oval?"

"This ...... Oval. I know. ”

……

It took a long time to paint, during which the master asked me a lot of questions, although I didn't know what these questions had to do with painting a person's face as a whole. Because he asks very marginal questions, such as the shape of the eyes, the length of the cheeks, the thickness of the lips, and so on.

The master seemed to see through my mind and explained:

"These are not really marginal issues, these are all techniques and ideas of composition. When I ask you about the shape of your eyes, I can actually draw not only the shape of the eyes, but also the shape of the parts around the eyes, because it's like a butterfly effect, and all parts of a person's face are related. ”

I nodded, I didn't expect there to be such a thing in this. It's amazing.

After a while, the master made a slight adjustment of the portrait's face, then turned the canvas to me, and asked, "Officer, look, this portrait does not look like the person you remembered." ”

The moment I saw the canvas, I felt as if this person had appeared right in front of me. He used sketches, so the paintings were very realistic. This man's face is exactly the same as the face of the man I saw that day!

"Master, you're amazing!" I said with admiration.

"Hey," he said, waving his hand, "these are the things that a painter should learn, and these are just small skills of carving insects." By the way, why isn't there a person like this in your police station, I think you need it. ”

"Of course we need to, but it's a pity that people who have always been proficient in this area have come to our side. No way. ”

The master nodded, and then handed me the painting.

I looked at the portrait for a long time, and I thought that this person should be the murderer I had seen. It's so similar.

So, my comrades from the police station and I transmitted the portrait of the murderer to the official website through data, and asked some media to help us publicize it.
