Arthur gave up his place to Tony and Tom, and he led Elder to a table next to him.

Elder heard Arthur mention the subsidy, and then remembered the business that Arthur had talked to him about before.

He asked, "Didn't you say you were going to ask me to draw a map?" What form of map are you going to want? ”

Arthur said: "Actually, it's not a map. Didn't you just give me the information that very few people have seen Fred's true face?

Moreover, every time there are few witnesses to the crime, it is difficult for the police to draw an accurate portrait of the prisoner based on the information provided by the victim.

So, I'm going to launch a new forensic crime investigation technology. ”

"New technology?"

Elder pondered for a long time and still couldn't figure out what Arthur was going to do, so he asked, "Just tell me what you want me to draw?" ”

Arthur said: "I hope to divide the human face into nine areas, and then I will find a hundred people with different physiognomy characteristics, and you will draw portraits of these nine areas according to their physiognomy, and complete a total of nine hundred different paintings."

In this way, we can later provide samples of nine areas for the victim to choose from, and finally form a portrait that is closest to the perpetrator, i.e., the analog portrait technique. ”

Elder was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

"Arthur!"

"What's wrong?" Arthur took a sip of tea.

He exclaimed, "What a genius idea!" You deserve to be born to be a police officer! ”

Arthur raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, you agree?" ”

"But I can't draw!"

Elder said embarrassedly, "I learned to draw nautical charts, and you can make do with it if you let me draw a map." But if it's a portrait, I don't really have the skills. ”

When Arthur heard this, he also made a difficulty: "This is not easy to do, except for you, I don't know anyone else who can draw......"

Seeing his good friend so worried, Elder turned to speak, "But I don't, but I know where to find it." And those people not only can, but also draw very well, and the price should be relatively cheap. ”

"And this kind of good place?"

Elder nodded, "Of course! You can't just look for it at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts next to Trafalgar Square! ”

"Are you kidding me? The Royal Academy of Fine Arts is full of world-famous painters, and one of their paintings can cover the office expenses of the Greenwich Police District for a year.

Elder don't you hold such a grudge, don't you just make a few jokes? You're doing this, I'm really going to lock you up. ”

"What!"

Elder said, "I'm not asking you to go to the professor there. Although the professors were full, the apprentices who studied painting with them were hungry one by one.

I once went on a visit with my uncle, and many of the apprentices there were children from poor families. A simple sketch like the one you asked for can be done in ten days and half a month.

If you give them a similar price, there will definitely be a lot of people rushing to do it. ”

Arthur originally thought that Elder was talking nonsense, but hearing him say this, it seems to be a bit feasible.

He asked, "You can't just enter that place, right?" How do I get in? ”

"Don't mix." Elder patted his chest and said, "When you are fine, go around Trafalgar Square in the evening, where many poor painters who sell paintings are from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, you can just pick a pleasing look and ask." ”

As soon as Elder finished speaking, Darwin, who was lecturing Tony and Tom next to him, also spoke.

"Arthur, speaking of these. I think you should want to master not only medical knowledge, but also chemical and pharmacological knowledge.

Although I can teach you a little bit of this, I can't figure out a lot of the new progress in recent years.

If you want to get a little more advanced, try attending a lecture at the Royal Society at Greysam College.

It's home to some of the best scientists from all over Great Britain, and there's a new release almost every month, so it's definitely good to hear about it. ”

Arthur was curious: "Lectures of the Royal Society?" Are they expensive to get admission there? ”

Darwin shook his head: "No matter how expensive it is, it can't be more expensive than a ticket to the Royal Theatre." And whether the lecture ticket is expensive or not also depends on how you look at the issue.

For the price of a shilling, you can listen to the most advanced scientific knowledge, which in my opinion is actually very cost-effective. ”

At first, Arthur thought that the fee for such a lecture was calculated in pounds, but he did not expect that it would only cost one shilling.

As Charles Darwin said, a trip to the Theatre Royal costs enough to attend dozens of lectures.

It's simply too cheap.

He hurriedly asked, "Then when is this kind of lecture usually held?" ”

Darwin replied: "I can't say for sure, but on the whole it is done more frequently." This is because the Royal Society's research funding, in addition to receiving donations, comes mainly from the income from scientific lectures.

For example, in recent times, because the Royal Society is short of money, there are lectures there every day.

However, if you want to attend, it's best to book your tickets in advance, as tickets for research lectures are popular with middle- and upper-class ladies.

What you may not know is that scientists at the Royal Society have made headlines a lot in recent years due to frequent technological breakthroughs, so they have slowly become as popular as artists. ”

As soon as Darwin's words were finished, Arthur thought of the day he went to the theater with Elder and was almost crowded into patties by the crowd of people who were chasing Paganini.

He was just about to retreat, but who knew that his good brother Elder spoke again.

"Arthur, if you want to go, I'll be able to get a few tickets."

"Can you get it?"

Arthur glanced Elder up and down, "Aren't you the self-proclaimed insulator of science?" When did you become enthusiastic about science lectures? ”

Elder said, "I'm not interested in science, but my cousin is different!" Didn't you hear Charles? It's fashionable to go to science lectures these days.

My cousin likes to catch up with this kind of fashion, whether it's an intricate pleated skirt or a French haute perfume, even a scruffy scientist, as long as it's something that is linked to fashion, she likes it.

If you want to go, when I go to my uncle's house for dinner, I quietly pick up two tickets from my cousin and leave. If I'm not mistaken, she still buys season passes, and more than one, and sometimes she likes to bring her girlfriends with her. ”

Arthur was surprised: "Is your cousin so rich?" ”

Elder said proudly: "Of course! Have you forgotten what I told you earlier? Some Royal Navy captains fought the Napoleonic Wars and earned three or four hundred thousand pounds of property.

Although my uncle only became a fifth-class captain in the late Napoleonic Wars, it is fair to say that he also captured two French naval warships, and he could still get 100,000 pounds of the spoils he had shared when he was first mate.

My uncle has been stationed in the Oniya Islands and Malta with the Mediterranean Fleet all the year round, and he usually doesn't take care of my cousin, so isn't it up to her? ”
