Chapter 91 Chapter 91
In recent years, many social problems have emerged due to policy changes.
However, this serious order to catch the murderer made the comrades who received the message very anxious. And it is clear from the fax alone that this "suspect" is a very dangerous person!
And the news coming from the county revealed an even worse situation.
Compared to the retro mystery of the mountain city, the city of Rong in the neighboring province has a more urban feel.
Moreover, as the largest inland city, Chengdu has been making vigorous progress in many construction projects and factory reconstruction in recent years. So in the past one or two years, there have been many dispatched workers and worker transfers.
It just so happened that it happened to be the annual Spring Festival travel period, and the flow of people coming and going from the south to the north was really unimaginable.
So when the official document came out, the police officers at the grassroots police stations were dumbfounded.
How can I check this?
The train station, guesthouse, bus station and several nearby docks were all strictly screened by them. We invested the largest amount of police manpower every day, but we didn't find any suspects, but we did catch a lot of small fry. Itinerant pickpockets, those carrying dangerous goods, and even gang members were screened out.
But the mysterious murderer seemed to have disappeared.
Several neighboring counties have to contact each other by phone every day to ask if there are any special events happening in their jurisdictions. In this state of anticipation, anxiety and relief, I finally managed to get through the New Year safely.
Yu Jiajia and her group had a wonderful time and stayed in Jing Fanshan happily and comfortably for a whole week.
Mr. Pan is indeed a very special person.
The more you get to know him, the more you'll discover how different he is. From the generosity and openness of their first meeting, to taking them to visit the paintings in the studio, sharing their treasured brushes and paints, and inviting them to try local delicacies.
He even took them to see the natural cave in the mountains, a naturally formed mineral pigment pool. It contains seven or more mineral components.
After seeing it for the first time, they were stunned for half an hour, and were truly amazed at the wonders of nature!
And Mr. Pan’s affairs were also explained from their daily interactions.
The old man and Mr. Pan were comrades-in-arms in their early years, but the relationship between him and Mr. Pan was not very harmonious at that time, because Mr. Pan, who looked so strong and sturdy, did not like martial arts but literature.
Even joining the army was a last resort, but it had to be done.
Mr. Lu was the opposite of him. As a teenager, he held his breath and made a desperate attempt to join the army. From the first day he joined the army, he made up his mind to stay.
His thin body, inadequate height and young age always make him frustrated. Every time he moves, he has to stay behind without any chance to fight on the field. Meanwhile, a chosen warrior who can crush you in every way also stays behind like you.
Have you ever wondered why and wondered if he was unwell?
Are you afraid and cowardly and dare not go to the battlefield?
You can even take the initiative to break the ice and ask him out of curiosity.
"Why didn't you go to the front line? Are you injured? But why haven't I seen you before? Which battalion are you from?" Young Xiao Lu couldn't figure it out.
Xiao Pan clenched his pockets tightly and kept busy with the things in his hands, as if he didn't hear it!
This was also the beginning of their intersection.
Mr. Pan, who is over 50 years old, is now the leading president representative of the Chinese Painting Association. This year he came to Jing Fanshan for the latest mineral raw materials.
Several classic colors, with more vivid pigments than other mining areas, appeared more than a decade ago. For this purpose, the Chinese Painting Association allocates a sum of funds every year to purchase raw materials.
The reason why Mr. Pan is so eager to treat the younger generation is not only because they are the grandchildren of his old friend, but also because he is curious about the portraiture techniques.
At his age, he actually gets a lot of information, especially news related to painting, which can be passed on to him first. So when his old friend boasted to him about having a great grandson's wife, he immediately associated her with that name.
"Your granddaughter-in-law is really extraordinary. She is so amazing that I have to use all my best skills." Old Pan said to his old friend with emotion.
Mr. Lu sipped his tea and rocked back and forth in his rocking chair.
His tone was filled with joy, "Hahaha, young man, you still have a lot to learn. You can't just talk, you have to show your real ability. I've said a lot of good things about you in front of the younger generation."
Grandpa Lu spoke seriously, but in fact he also hoped to help them.
Not to mention his son and daughter-in-law, his grandchildren's jobs all depended directly or indirectly on his protection. However, except for the fact that the granddaughter-in-law was a little noisy in the first period after she came into the family, he saw in the past two years that Yu Jiajia would be as capable as his eldest grandson.
Since the phone call a month ago, the old man knew that the east wind was coming, and whether he could soar to the sky depended on what happened next.
So, he arranged this meeting and made dozens of phone calls to Lao Pan behind the scenes.
This old man may not look good, but Old Lu knows that it would be a rare opportunity to find someone who is capable and generous enough to teach Jia Jia. He had kept Jia Jia's matter in mind for a long time, hoping that the younger generations could make further progress. However, in terms of art and painting, it is still very traditional nowadays, and almost all of them are passed down from generation to generation, with particular emphasis on the master's school.
It would take at least seven or eight years to get introductory guidance.
The old man didn't expect his granddaughter-in-law to learn anything in a short period of time. He just wanted her to come out and gain some experience. He thought he had done his best to live up to her request.
"Okay, I've made the arrangements. Once things are stable, I'll let her communicate with me through letters." Old Pan's face was serious and a little solemn, but there was a smile in his eyes.
"Hahaha, you know what, this girl's portrait simulation is really interesting." He squinted his eyes and recalled, "It's more interesting than those painters I met here. I didn't expect a half-grown girl to have such ability."
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the founding of a new school of thought.
Although Yu Jiajia has an explanation, this is an ancient method that has been recorded since the Song Dynasty.
But Mr. Pan believed what he knew. "So what? To put it bluntly, we are just craftsmen, painting the so-called spirit; but what you painted are indeed flesh and blood."
Yu Jiajia was really praised so much that she blushed and felt secretly happy for a long time.
However, since she understood Grandpa Lu's arrangements, she stayed in seclusion in the attic for two days in a row.
Mr. Pan’s painting techniques are delicate and magnificent, with an unignorable charm and temperament. Whenever Yu Jiajia felt that she had learned a lot, she would think about the paintings in the attic.
Each painting has a unique style, yet is different from the others.
The painting techniques used in the same painting of the same object can also allow her to see the special features of the painter. Yu Jiajia secretly wrote it down in a small notebook.
But what benefited her most was an ink painting by Mr. Pan.
At first, Yu Jiajia didn't understand anything, but she felt that Mr. Pan's ink paintings were really eye-catching, with clear and distinct levels. When I asked out of curiosity, I realized that the most difficult part of ink portrait painting is actually the first step.
After the draft, the so-called rough draft, is completed, the painting is half done.
The most difficult part of drafting is not starting to draw, but to plan everything in your mind before drawing, including the spatial position of the characters in the entire frame and the position of each element. And the character in the portrait is the key part. Before you start drawing, you need to clarify the character's painting style, the exposed spiritual core, and all the details that are consistent with the spirit.
If you paint a farmer tilling the soil, you cannot paint him in flowing clothes; if you paint a rebellious literary master, you have to capture his spirit to the fullest. Of course she could see this from the canvas, and to her surprise it was indeed a small portrait.
The magical thing is that it is also called "Little Statue".
When she first saw him, she thought it was a man wrapped in black cloth. However, Mr. Pan told her that this was a teenage girl.
Yu Jiajia was stunned for a moment, then looked at it carefully again.
The only things that can be seen in the portrait are a pair of exposed eyes and half a hand. What kind of eyes were those? She could still recall them long after, those brows that were narrowed as if trying to smile but were filled with pain, and those palms and knuckles that were much thicker than those of an average woman.
Mr. Pan just sighed heavily and said that it was a very miserable child.
It was a long time later that she got a detailed explanation from her grandfather. It turned out that when they were young, they were transferred with the army and had been to a remote mountain village.
There is a huge gap between men and women, men are the sky and women are the earth; if there is no male in your family, you will be condemned by the whole village. That child was born as her mother's last hope after she had given birth to five daughters at home.
During this period, she ate all kinds of insects and grasses, but when the child was born, the whole village was shocked. Because that family really gave birth to a son, but he had two sets of reproductive systems.
After accepting Mr. Pan’s advice, Yu Jiajia decided to try to contact him in the future. Then she drew more than ten pages of drafts on the second-floor balcony.
They were replicas of the many face models that she had secretly drawn before.
He was really itching to get his hands dirty, so he mixed together several cases he had come across and drew up a new big case.
And at the top of the paper, she wrote "Mountain City Detective" with a pen!
... ...
Team leader Huo, who was on a business trip to a county under the jurisdiction of Chengdu Province, received a piece of news.
The source of the suspect's tools was found.
After several days of screening in nearby counties and cities, investigators were unable to find the production site, and there was no news from neighboring counties and cities either. However, because Captain Huo was on a business trip, the police officers in charge of the case received a reply from a neighboring police station when they were faxing the information, saying that they had sealed off a small production workshop that seemed to be the same as this one.
It was later confirmed that they were indeed produced from the same batch of models.
And that place was a remote county in Chengdu.
Captain Huo made inquiries and found out through the map that this county was not far from the previous two crime scenes.
As a professional, I have a strong intuition that something must be fishy when something is out of the ordinary.
Immediately, Huo Buwei split the team and asked the squadron to stay here. He took another police officer and arrived at the county in the middle of the night. He arrived at the police station at ten in the morning. After understanding the situation, he checked the whole place for a long time and roughly figured out some details.
The veil of mystery surrounding the suspect seems to have been lifted!
After a long silence, Captain Huo's eyes darkened and he said angrily: "This guy is playing tricks on us!!!"
