Chapter 324 Special lip reading method

At 4:30 in the afternoon, on the Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway, Xu Zheng and Zhuang Qiang drove a Q5, following behind a silver-white modern business car. In the car in front of them were Liao Hai, deputy chief of criminal investigation, squadron leader Zhang Damin, and two others.

Detective of the Corps.

Although they went to the Magic City together, the people from the provincial department were members of the task force, and Xu Zheng and Zhuang Qiang had to go back after a walk there, so they drove his own car. Of course, there is a business trip allowance for driving his own car.

.

The whole high-speed journey takes three and a half hours. After getting in the car, Zhuang Qiang put down the seat and prepared to sleep for a while. On the way back, it was his turn to drive again. Xu Zheng took a nap in the morning and was not very sleepy now, so he drove.

, while thinking about the skills the system will give after this case is over.

Cold weapon specialization.

These days, isn’t it useless for the system to give this skill?

Can't use it!

The only thing that interests Xu Zheng is that there is a dagger specialization, which is not only for melee combat, but also for long-range attacks. Xiao Li can fly knives within twenty meters without missing a beat.

Other knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, and axes are completely useless. They probably won't be used in the process of arresting suspects in this life. But as long as they are used, Xu Zheng's cold weapon expertise is enough to overwhelm him.

99% of experts learn these things.

Although he said he didn't like the skills given by the system this time, he was really happy in his heart.

Why?

Not all men like these knives. Swords. When I was a kid, I watched Jin Yong and Gu Long TV series. These are the heroes I dreamed of becoming. Forget about Huang Rong and Xiao Longnu. Walking around the world with a sword is also a comfortable life.

.

He is now a people's policeman. In ancient times, he was a six-door policeman. But who wouldn't envy Xiao Li's flying knife style?

Soon, the car drove directly to the Magic City Public Security Bureau. It was said to be a bureau, but in fact it was a sub-provincial unit. Xu Zheng's private car could not be entered without being registered within the police and with their pass, so he looked outside.

Parking space and walk in.

Xu Zheng and Zhuang Qiang have been here once. Last time they came here to perform a mission, they met two big brothers. Now, I heard that Xu Zheng and Zhuang Qiang are here. Old Wang and Wang Mingming have been waiting at the door for a long time.

Got them both.

It's just a pity that Brother Li went on a business trip out of town this time and couldn't make it back. The four of them haven't gotten together for a long time. After the last time we said goodbye, we still went on a mission together. There's nothing we can do about it. The criminal police work doesn't have a few days off all year round.

It’s just a day or two, so I’m not in the mood to have a casual gathering. At most, it’s just a few chats on WeChat.

This meeting between the three of them was particularly cordial. In any case, they were all comrades who had fought together. From far away, Wang Mingming shouted loudly: "Xiao Zheng, Qiang Zi, are you going to stay in the magic city this time?"

Oh my God? How about I host you tonight and we can have a good gathering?"

Zhuang Qiang shook hands with him and said, "Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I just heard you say that your arms are all healed. Come, let me see your trophies."

Last year, four people chased Gao Gang from Fuso on the highway. Wang was apparently injured on his right arm by a criminal. No, more than half a year later, there is still a scar on his arm.

Wang Mingming laughed loudly, "The scars on our bodies are medals of merit. Don't worry, you guys can see that we are all in good shape."

Xu Zheng touched it and found that indeed, the scar still had some marks, and the color was a little darker than the surrounding skin, and it was located on the upper arm, but as a man, the scar added a bit more masculinity, "Brother Wang, I don't know after we are busy today. What time is it? If you go back after get off work, we can wait for the next opportunity to get together again."

Wang Mingming also knew that they were coming at this time, and he would probably be busy with work until midnight. He was now transferred to another department and was no longer on the criminal investigation line, so he did not inquire about the case. "Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work. If you are here

If you stay in Shanghai for two days, we can make another appointment."

The three chatted for a few more words, and Wang Mingming left first. It was already eight o'clock in the evening. If he hadn't been waiting for Xu Zheng and the others, he would have gone home long ago.

When Xu Zheng walked to Liao Hai, deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Corps, Liao Hai pointed at Wang Mingming who was walking away, "Is this Wang Mingming who was bitten on the arm last time?"

The last time it was Liao Hai who led the team, he could remember the injured policemen from other places, which showed that this leader pretended to be comrades. Xu Zheng nodded quickly, "Well, that's him. I didn't expect that you, Commander Liao, have such a good memory."

"You kid, stop flattering me and let's go. All the comrades in Shanghai are probably impatient."

When they arrived at the office building where the Criminal Investigation Corps was located, Deputy Captain Ye Peixin heard this and immediately rushed to the lobby downstairs to receive him. The meeting was polite. When it was Xu Zheng's turn, he really remembered Xu Zheng, "You kid

It is indeed not simple. I have seen your work experience for more than half a year. It is rich and colorful and your abilities are extraordinary.

Moreover, I learned a lot of new skills and did not rest on my laurels. This is a good example for our people’s police to learn from.”

Xu Zheng felt ashamed in his heart. He had also taken advantage of the system. Otherwise, it would have taken years and months to advance a simulated portrait to a high level. If you don't learn these things, you won't know them. No matter how hard you work without talent, it will be in vain. Fortunately, the ability given by the system is not to be seen.

Xu Zheng's original talent, "Commander Xu, you are so flattered by your compliments, I don't dare to dare, I just like to study."

Zhuang Qiang curled his lips at the back. If others don't know, how can he know that Xu Zheng is studying, but Xu Zheng can't finish these skills just by studying two books in a month.

?

Of course, he just kept this in his heart, and no one said it. Everyone has their own secrets.

A group of people talked for a while downstairs without even giving them food. Ye Peixin and Liao Hai discussed it and went directly to the second floor for a meeting. Zhuang Qiang had to follow them. As for Xu Zheng, the fourth criminal detective upstairs

The detachment has sent people down to pick him up.

The person was recognized by Xu Zheng as soon as he got out of the elevator. It was the beautiful policewoman Xu Zheng helped them draw a mock portrait of the last time they came to Magic City. "Hi, it's you, brother with small breasts. Long time no see."

The beautiful policewoman Liu Linlin was smiling and preparing to say hello to Xu Zheng. When she heard this, she glared at him. Xu Zheng also realized that he had spoken out what was in his heart, so he could only laugh out of embarrassment.

The weather was at the end of May, and she was now wearing summer police uniforms. Liu Linlin could see her heels at a glance, and she hated people talking about her shortcomings. However, who knew they were here to ask Xu Zheng for help this time? Besides,

Handsome guys are popular wherever they go.

"Hmph, Xu Zheng, I heard that you are getting married soon. If you dare to call me something like that next time, be careful I go to your girlfriend with a watermelon tied to my belly."

Okay, that's cruel enough. Xu Zheng immediately gave the little-breasted brother a thumbs up, "Sister Linlin, can you tell me what's going on with this case?"

Liu Linlin shook her head, "Let's wait until we get to the conference room. The main thing is to let you watch a camera video and analyze the conversation between the two suspects."

Soon, they arrived at the office of the Fourth Criminal Investigation Detachment on the fourth floor. Several of Liu Linlin's colleagues were sitting inside. They introduced each other and were polite for a while. Their detachment leader asked someone to turn on the camera to record, "Xiao Xu.

, please help me see if I can translate the content of their conversation just by looking at their mouth movements. You don’t have to worry about whether it’s right or wrong, don’t worry.”

On the way here, Xu Zheng thought about the advanced lip translation he had mastered. Well, it is true that it cannot translate foreign languages. As for China, the mouth shape when speaking in Mandarin and local dialects is indeed different, but the advanced lip translation given to him by the system is

As long as Xu Zheng understands any dialect, he can translate it through lip reading.

This would be more embarrassing. If Xu Zheng didn't master, for example, Wenzhou dialect, Hokkien, Hakka, etc., he wouldn't be able to translate by looking at the mouth patterns, and the conversation with foreigners would be similar.

The main thing is to rely on Xu Zheng's own knowledge. If he is fluent in a foreign language such as English, he can probably translate through mouth. But English and Chinese are similar, and there are many dialects.

The most difficult thing about lip translation is how to locate the voice spoken by the two people in the video. Xu Zheng stared at the video attentively, holding a pen in his hand, looking at the two middle-aged people in their fifties.

In conversation.

What they said was very short, and each of them lost a sentence. The shorter it became, the harder it was to recognize. Xu Zheng frowned.

To be honest, the first time he used Mandarin to translate the conversation between the suspect and the suspect, it was a pity that he didn’t get the right number. This meant that the two people were not speaking Mandarin, nor were they speaking several dialects he was familiar with, including Pingjiang Province and

The local dialect of Magic City.

"Detachment Yang, have you found out where these two suspects are from? They should speak in their hometown dialect. If this is not Mandarin, I have to try and make mistakes one by one. But you also know that there are nine major categories of local dialects in our country.

There are 129 subdivisions, and the mouth shapes are different when speaking, so..."

The Yang detachment is also in trouble now. They have found the video of the suspect. Unfortunately, the face cannot be recognized and it cannot be found in the identity information file.

It’s not that there aren’t people who can’t recognize their faces, but there are a lot of them. Ordinary people don’t use smartphones, so it’s hard to track them down just based on photos of their ID cards. If they are criminals, even if they use smartphones, they can shop online and make TikTok

, if you always pay attention to blocking the collection of personal information by big data, facial recognition may not be able to find them.

In short, the new era has new era criminal methods. Even in today's era of prevalent high technology, there are still many cases that cannot be solved, and manpower will eventually be limited.

Xu Zheng carefully observed the appearance of the two people in the video. They looked like honest old farmers. If such people committed crimes, most of them would either kidnap and traffic women and children, or commit theft.

Of course, it is also possible to engage in high-tech crimes. These days, there are really all kinds of criminals.

"Sister Linlin, please find me a sketchbook and pencil so I can use them."

After a while, Liu Linlin brought over a pen and paper, and after Xu Zheng took it, he drew a simulated portrait of one of them while comparing the screenshots of the video, but a rather strange scene appeared in front of everyone.

Liu Linlin was so frightened that she almost yelled, because what Xu Zheng drew was not a sketch of Yu Yu Rusheng's suspect, but a model of the suspect's skull. He drew it very carefully, but it gave people the impression that it was held by two magic hands.

It was as if the scalpel had dissected the criminal directly on the manuscript paper.

Although there is no blood in Xu Zheng's paintings, it gives everyone the feeling of being in an anatomy room, and they seem to smell the smell of formalin in their noses.

This immersive feeling is actually a kind of sensory expression brought to people by Xu Zheng's serious work. Otherwise, it is hard to see a master. When a real master works, his movement or silence can affect the people around him.

Xu Zheng saw that everyone was curious, so he explained, "Doesn't it feel magical? In fact, this is all a small skill. I have mastered the techniques of simulating portraits and skull restoration, and can directly draw skulls based on portraits."

Everyone was amazed, and Liu Linlin also asked curiously: "Then why did you draw the skull? Can you tell where they are from based on the skull?"

Xu Zheng nodded, "It is said that the soil and water nourish a person. This nourishment is mainly reflected in adolescence, when the human skeleton is developing. If this person has been growing up in one place during his adolescence, then his bones will carry him with his growth.

The character of the place.”

Xu Zheng did not tell them in detail that social mobility is very high now. Fortunately, there is a national policy that requires you to take the college entrance examination in the place where you have your household registration. In this case, more than 90% of people go to junior high and high schools in the same place.

This period of time coincides with the development of their bones and the formation of their native dialect.

Therefore, Xu Zheng wanted to identify the place where their teenagers grew up through the different characteristics of their skulls, so as to identify their hometown dialect.

Liu Linlin became even more curious when she saw Xu Zheng's operation, "You don't even need to draw skulls, you can tell where they are from just by looking at their faces."

"Oh, then look at where these two people are from in the video. Can you tell?" Xu Zheng noticed this from the beginning. Unfortunately, these two people in their fifties are either fat or thin.

In addition, their faces were a bit blurry in the video, so he didn't analyze it from their faces anyway.
