One day in mid-March, 2022, an old man from Shandong sat in front of his computer on time after dinner and opened an online drama called " Hunting Crime Illustrated Record ". The drama is set in the background of the criminal investigation police and tells the story of a genius simulated portraitist with super high painting talent and meticulous thoughts, assisting the criminal police in solving strange cases repeatedly.
When I saw one of the cases, the portraitist restored his face through 36 bone points on his head in order to find the key figure, the old man who was interested in seeing it smiled.
"The plot is so tense, why can you still laugh?" The old man was running a live broadcast while watching the show. When the netizens who were connected saw his happy expression, they asked inwardly.
The old man rubbed his hands and showed a meaningful smile: "It's probably the plot needs it, so the screenwriter wrote it a little more complicated. If I were asked to do it, it only needs 6 bone dots."
As soon as this sentence came out, he was in an uproar. Some netizens who have just entered the live broadcast room are curious about how a retired old man can say such Versailles in public, and who is he?
The old man is called Lin Yuhui. Only those who know him will probably understand the weight of his words.
Lin Yuhui
Idle people in the criminal police team
Many people read the portrait master in "Hunting Crime Picture Book" to draw adult appearance by a three-year-old photo, or copy the image of the suspect when they hear the deliveryman say something casually, and shout, "The screenwriter is so outrageous, how can the police be so powerful?" Little do they know that the profession of portrait masters has a long history in our country.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wu Zixu offended Chu State The royal family was wanted by the whole city, and the streets were covered with wanted notices created by the painter based on his appearance characteristics. This is also the first wanted warrant with portraits in Chinese history. By the end of the last century, portrait technology began to be combined with criminal investigation and now it has become an independent major.
However, unlike many policemen who planned to work hard towards this professionalism from the beginning, Lin Yuhui only liked to draw at the beginning, and this love initially contained some reluctance.
Grandpa of the Lin family is a master of painting. Lin Yuhui has been standing on a small bench since he was five years old and learned to draw little ducks and goldfish. Later, at my father's request, I had to complete two comic strips every day.
For a child who is very playful, this task is a bit heavy. Lin Yuhui was a clever person since he was a child. In order to get in the business, he came up with various ways to get away with it, but his father exposed it one by one.
failed to cheat, so I could only continue drawing with my teeth. Lin Yuhui's ideas gradually changed from painting as a child to his youth, from being forced to paint at the beginning to having the idea of becoming a full-time painter.
luck makes people feel bad. Because of his family, his desire to apply for a professional art school has been repeatedly disappointed, but by chance he became a traffic policeman. However, although he was unable to go to school for systematic training, Lin Yuhui's hobbies shone brightly in the police force.
brigade captain was so happy that he learned that the new boy could draw. He immediately waved his hand and arranged for him to draw posters for traffic safety. Later, because of his outstanding work performance, Lin Yuhui was transferred to the police magazine to do art editors and designs. He could continue to improve his painting skills for professionals, and his life was also very happy.
But in 2003, the police magazine was discontinued. When the leader asked Lin Yuhui for his opinion, he lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "I can take pictures, why don't I go to the Criminal Investigation Bureau, don't the criminal technical police all take pictures?" At that time, he was already 45 years old. He followed the young boy to the scene for the first time to investigate, and suddenly felt a little panic.
Criminal technicians strive to be true when taking photos, and must meticulously record all the details of the crime scene. This job requires accumulation over time, which is completely different from his pursuit of perfection and exquisiteness when he was an art editor. After several investigations, Lin Yuhui gradually felt a little confused about his future.
Especially when everyone is so busy, I seem a little redundant and leisurely. How can I break the deadlock? Lin Yuhui fell into deep thought. That day, he turned on the TV to watch the case-solving program, suddenly slapped his thighs and stood up excitedly.
became famous in one battle
"I want to try the path of simulated portrait." In the office, Lin Yuhui said to the leader excitedly. Not long ago, he saw a CCTV program. When the criminal investigation expert cracked theft of cultural relics, he drew an image of the suspect based on the description of the witness. Lin Yuhui immediately lit up: "Isn't this my profession?"
leader naturally knew the simulated portrait technology, but at that time, the construction of the Shandong Provincial Public Security Department in this area was still in a blank mode. "Success, Lao Lin, if you really plan to do it, we will support it!" The leader nodded. Lin Yuhui was full of energy and there were no ready-made textbooks available. He searched the information and studied the technology online, and created based on the appearance of his family described by his colleagues. But after drawing a few pictures, he was stunned.
Character images and photos are completely two people. "How to draw like me?" Lin Yuhui finally got an idea after thinking hard. He used his rest time to carry mineral water and paintings to walk into the train station and farmers' market, and stayed for the whole day.
The appearance characteristics of passengers passing by need to be quickly remembered and copied with a brush. Lin Yuhui squatted in the inconspicuous corner of the train station, staring at the people coming and going with a bright look, drawing one portrait after another. After a long time, when the train station staff saw him coming with his schoolbag on his back, they immediately smiled and said, "Brother, you are here to squat again."
More than 80,000 portraits were used. Lin Yuhui worked hard to master his unique skills. As long as he met someone, he could accurately describe the person's appearance and expression at that time within a minute.
In 2008, Lin Yuhui came to the opportunity to prove himself. That day, a colleague from Tai'an found the leaders of the Provincial Public Security Department and said that a fire broke out in a wedding company. After the firefighters finished extinguishing the fire, they found that they saw traces of gasoline burning at the scene. "We suspect that someone was deliberately retaliating. They retrieved surveillance videos and found only a very vague silhouette." The case was solved in a bottleneck. Tai'an police heard that Lin Yuhui had a unique painting skill and specially invited him to solve the case.
Lin Yuhui happily went there and followed the police officers in charge of the case to the gas station and saw the only witness in the arson case. "He has a round face, small eyes, and a little long hair." The witnesses' description of the suspect's facial features is very broad, and it is applicable to many people. After hearing this, Lin Yuhui did not make a sound and returned to the public security bureau and started drawing the silhouette in the surveillance screen.
"Just that kind of clue, can it work?" Tai'an police muttered quietly as they looked at his back as he was painting. Lin Yuhui drew seven or eight pictures, then approached the surveillance video and compared it repeatedly, then handed one of them to the case handler in one breath and said, "It probably looks like this."
According to the portrait he provided, the police solved the case in just three hours. After the suspect was arrested, everyone came forward and looked at him, and they were immediately shocked: "It looks so much like it. Lao Lin, you are so amazing!"
Lin Yuhui became famous in one battle. The Provincial Public Security Department set up a studio with his name. Whenever criminal police officers in various places encounter "difficult and complicated diseases" in their work, they will come to ask for help from Lao Lin.
bizarre corpse dismemberment case, robbery and murder case, house murder case, large and small arson case... Lin Yuhui set new highs again and again in the criminal investigation battlefield, becoming a well-known figure in the Shandong police circle.
"Xiaolin, you are so powerful, do you know that Swallow Li San?" When I was on a business trip in another place, Lin Yuhui chatted with two experienced retired husbands. From them, they learned that Yan Zi Li San was a thief active in Shandong in the Republic of China period. These two old police officers had arrested and interrogated him. Unfortunately, due to the rude conditions at that time, the thief did not leave any photos.
Lin Yuhui became interested after hearing this: "Senior, tell me what Li San looks like?" The old policeman is old and his expression ability is a little deteriorated, but Lin Yuhui still handed over the painting in half an hour with just a few words told by the old man. The old policeman took it and looked closer and looked for a while. He couldn't help but be amazed. One of them gave a thumbs up and sighed, "That's right, it's him! It's just vivid!"
In November 2016, Lin Yuhui was invited by CCTV to participate in the recording of a program called " Challenge Impossible ". On the scene, he was going to draw adult faces based on mosaic-filled childhood photos and find the target person from 48 randomly selected people. Lin Yuhui successfully completed the challenge without any effort, which caused the audience to exclaim: "How is this possible! It's so awesome!"
was also shocked, and there was a guest on the scene. His name is Li Changyu , and he enjoys the reputation of "Chinese Detective" all over the world. He is a famous figure in the global police circle.
draws the murderer in Zhang Yingying's murder case
In 2017, Chinese girl Zhang Yingying bizarrely disappeared in the United States, touching the hearts of countless people. The US police spent more than ten days trying all kinds of ways but failed to find the whereabouts of the suspects and victims. As a policeman, Lin Yuhui is naturally paying attention to the progress of the case investigation.
That day, he was watching the news and received a call from across the country, which was called by Li Changyu. "Mr. Lin, I have something to ask you." Li Changyu said his purpose straight to the point. It turned out that the US police had obtained several blurred videos and had not been able to extract the suspect's image, so he could only come to ask for help from the detective.
Li Changyu suddenly remembered Lin Yuhui, who had amazed him on the show. He felt that his simulated portrait technology would definitely be helpful to the case, so he gave the video of "Challenge Impossible" to the US police for viewing.
"This person is very powerful." After getting affirmation, Li Changyu quickly contacted Lin Yuhui and asked him to draw based on the video.
On June 17, Lin Yuhui received three videos. In addition to the short scene of the victim getting on the car, there are two other blurry videos taken by road surveillance. The US police plan to find the suspect vehicle through video, while Lin Yuhui's mission is to simulate the image of the characters through video.
Even if the video is split into frame by frame, the suspect only reveals half of the extremely low resolution side. It takes half of the face to image it. Many people think it is too fantasy.
enlarge and enlarge, decompose and combine... Lin Yuhui closed the door and thanked the guest, and picked up the pen again and again to the picture that could barely be considered a face.
After many years of hard practice and practical exercises, he knew that every face has a password, and every organ is related and fixed in size. He took out a ruler and gestured the image, and analyzed the suspect's appearance through his non-existent flesh and blood skills.
Time passed silently, and the studio was so quiet that it could only hear the "rustling" sound of the brush touching the paper. The image of a white man in his thirties gradually appeared on the paper.
analysis and combing took three days, and only four hours to draw.At two o'clock in the morning on the 21st, he sent the freshly released final pictures to contacts far away in the United States.
A few days after the U.S. police received the portrait, the murderer who killed Zhang Yingying was successfully arrested. "God, it's so amazing!" The American police force compared Lin Yuhui's portrait with the murderer, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Without witness testimony and unable to go to the place where the incident occurred, relying on only three blurred videos, the Chinese police actually drew the suspect's image, and the similarity was actually more than 70%!
"What did you rely on at that time?" A few years later, the reporter interviewed Lin Yuhui in an interview program, and couldn't help but ask questions when talking about the details of the case. Lin Yuhui smiled and replied like a sweeping monk: "By the feeling."
Because of this case, Lin Yuhui became famous in the international police circle. Just when everyone thought he was about to take a show of his achievements on the international stage, he made an unexpected decision - retire.
After retirement plan
In January 2018, Lin Yuhui, who was unemployed at home, welcomed a special visitor. He is Lao Wang, an online car-hailing driver in Chengdu. As soon as he entered the door, he held Lin Yuhui's hand and said excitedly: "Thank you, teacher, I have found my daughter. I will never forget your great kindness!"
A year ago, after Lin Yuhui's daughter saw the news that Lao Wang was looking for her daughter online, she couldn't calm down for a long time. She tossed and turned all night and called Lin Yuhui: "Dad, you are so good at painting. Can you find a way to help him?"
Lin Yuhui is also a father. He empathized with the pain of Lao Wang's loss of his daughter. He decided to use a photo of the lost person when he was three years old to help Lao Wang realize his dream. With the help of his daughter, he contacted Lao Wang and obtained photos of adults from other family members.
At this time, it has been 24 years since Lao Wang’s daughter was lost. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to restore the other person’s current appearance through childhood photos. Lin Yuhui initially determined that the little girl was probably abducted to the countryside at the beginning, and her face might be more mature. After careful analysis, he took a full ten days to draw a simulated portrait of Lao Wang's daughter. Soon, the portrait was forwarded by multiple WeChat groups.
After more than ten days, Lin Yuhui saw that there was no response and fine-tuned the portrait. This time, a miracle happened. After seeing the portrait, a full-time mother in Jilin could not help but feel excited and took the initiative to contact Lao Wang. According to the DNA identification of the public security organs, she is the biological daughter Lao Wang has been searching for for many years.
Lin Yuhui, who left his job, once again created new achievements and became the first person in the world to succeed by simulating adult portraits through childhood photos. After learning that Lao Wang and his family were reunited, Lin Yuhui had a new idea. Since his skills can not only solve cases, but also help the lost families reunited again, why not continue to help other relatives seeking relatives?
With the support of his family, Lin Yuhui created a public welfare love group. In addition to mocking portraits of his missing son, he also has a new mission.
On February 19, 2020, there was still a little chill in the air in Zibo, Shandong. The old man Li Xuexin who lives in Zhoucun is over 100 years old. After breakfast that day, she sat in the yard with her youngest son Asheng as usual when she suddenly heard someone calling her name hard.
Li Xuexin looked up and smiled: "Xiaolin, you are here. Sit..." The person who came was Lin Yuhui. He moved a bench and sat next to the old man, took out a portrait from his bag and said, "Grandma Li, see who this is." The man on the portrait of
was vivid and quickly attracted the old man's attention. Grandma Li looked at it, tears slid down her wrinkled face. She turned to look at her youngest son Asheng and said in a crying voice: "This is your brother, look, your brother is alive."
The brother mentioned by Li Xuexin is the eldest son Han Qichang. Since sending his son to join the army, they have lost contact with each other. The last time they heard his son's news was the news of Han Qichang's heroic sacrifice.
For more than seventy years, the old man has been missing his own son. They all say that they miss others when they see things, but she doesn't even have a photo of her eldest son in her hand. She can only sit at the door of her house every day, looking at the persimmons not far away. Zishu misses his son in his memory.
Shandong Veterans Affairs Department learned about Grandma Li’s house and found Lin Yuhui, taking photos of Grandma Li’s husband and a text describing his appearance, asking him to help Grandma Li realize his dream. Lin Yuhui did not disappoint his mission, allowing Han Qichang, who sacrificed his life for the country, to be "reborn" again.
"My brother is in the advance force, and the battle is too fierce. My father and I searched several times, but we didn't even have a corpse. Thanks to Teacher Lin, we made up for the regrets of our whole family. "The younger brother Asheng was extremely excited and held Lin Yuhui's hand for a long time and refused to let go.
One hundred abducted children and one hundred revolutionary martyrs. After retirement, Lin Yuhui set a new goal for himself. He wanted to use the pen in his hand to help more families realize their wishes. The original plan has been completed long ago, but he still does not plan to stop.
When he was young, he used his brush to draw the most beautiful scenery of the world; when he was middle-aged, he repeatedly solved the important cases; after retirement, every stroke and stroke is a great love in the world. Lin Yuhui, he will not retire his true nature, pay tribute to him!
