Worried, he quickly answered the phone.

"Second uncle, why did you call? My grandpa is still not feeling well?"

"Bah, bah, bah, can you think of something better? Your grandpa's foot is fine. The swelling has completely subsided. He just finished eating and went for a walk. I have other things to do with you."

Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there were only a few people he was closest to, so it was best if nothing happened. However, thinking about the person introduced by his second aunt, Zhou Ning couldn't help but become nervous.

"Oh, that's good. Second uncle, what are you talking about?"

Zhou Xianghua sighed.

"I heard that you have a case in the past two days. I didn't dare to call you until I was done. I'll say sorry to you on behalf of your second aunt. No one thought that Cheng Li was such a person. You, Xu Da, said,

There is no need to give her money, she is blackmailing her, we have evidence and we are not afraid."

"What did the second uncle say? The second aunt is also worried about me. How can she be angry with her own child? Please tell her not to take it to heart. I will go back to see you after finishing the case this weekend."

"Don't interrupt, I haven't finished talking yet! I've been really busy lately, checking every day, and I can't keep my hands off of here, but the blind date can't be delayed because of this episode. After New Year's Day, you will be twenty-seven, and your parents

I’m no longer here”

Zhou Ning took away some mobile phones and shook his head helplessly.

The second uncle and his wife really love him, but he doesn't want to be in such a hurry to find a partner. Before, the system had not been loaded, and he had no pressure. But it is different now. He is being tortured by the system every night, so there is no leisure time to do it.

This issue?

Zhou Xianghua, who was on the other end of the phone, seemed to have finished nagging and added one last sentence.

"Did you hear what I said?"

"Listen, second uncle, don't worry about it. I'm not in a hurry to find a partner. This matter requires a close eye, doesn't it? Do you want me to find a random woman?"

Zhou Xianghua remained silent, and Zhou Ning quickly said.

"I have something to do now. I need help from my second aunt. Can you find me a painting teacher?"

"Painting? Why do you want to learn to paint?"

Zhou Ning blinked, considering his ability, which is at the kindergarten coloring level, it is really difficult to keep up with systematic training alone without professional guidance.

"I want to improve my professional skills. One of them is this kind of painting, portrait painting. You have seen the kind of skull painting. It is such a professional teacher. If you know me, please introduce me to one."

Zhou Xianghua thought for a moment, then suddenly made a snapping sound, as if he was slapping his thigh.

"Just wait, I'll give you news tonight. I remember that your second aunt's school has a new art teacher. He graduated from Central America and won awards in many places. He also has a studio in the Children's Palace."

Zhou Ning was stunned, are teachers like this now?

Just a primary school art teacher with such a high degree of education?

"Well. How about finding someone with a lower level? This one is a bit overkill for me."

"Don't worry about it. I will arrange this matter. By the way, you don't have to go to your hometown if you have nothing to do on the weekend. Your grandfather has already said that I will live with you in the city when it gets cold in a few days. We will be in the same community by then, so why bother messing around?

, your work is the most important thing, that’s it, I’ll contact you and give you the news.”

Bang, the phone was hung up.

Zhou Ning looked confused. When did his second uncle become so impatient? He always felt that he had overlooked something. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. His brain cells had been severely depleted in the past two days, so he packed up his things and went home to sleep.

Saturday, October 30, 2010

The charging cell phone on the bedside table made a ding-dong sound.

Zhou Ning opened his eyes and was pulled out of training by the voice. He took two deep breaths and sat up directly.

Fuck, before, I just analyzed individual cases and found the cause of death based on the conditions. I just followed the steps step by step. I could answer more or less questions, and the accuracy rate was about 60%, so I wouldn't be punished with electric shocks all the time.

It would be good to get this portrait restoration technology. What comes up is the skull, or the deceased who has changed beyond recognition. Let Zhou Ning look for the corresponding portrait. There are more than 100 photos. There is no clue at all. He can only rely on blindfolding. He didn't get it right all night, and he was always confused.

Electric shock, now my whole body seems to smell like burning.

Zhou Ning grabbed the phone and was really grateful for this voice, otherwise he would not know how long the torture would last. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from his second uncle Zhou Xianghua.

Zhou Xianghua: The teacher’s name is Xia Momo, mobile phone number is 1390542****, QQ: ****** told her what you need to learn. Teacher Xia was very interested and made a reservation at the Cultural Palace at 10:00 this morning.

Let’s meet at Shu Xin Studio on the second floor. Dress up well and make sure you don’t be late.

Remember, remember!

Zhou Ning replied with two words, received!

Then he climbed out of bed and quickly went to take a shower. After finishing cleaning up, it seemed that the burning smell on his body was lessened. It was already nine o'clock. He quickly cooked a bag of noodles, wolfed it down, put on a clean coat, and went out directly.

Door.

After leaving Yuhua Community, we went straight to the Cultural Palace.

The distance is not too far. We walked through the park and arrived at our destination. What surprised Zhou Ning was that the place had been renovated. The antique bracket design was very beautiful.

Entering the Palace of Culture, follow the signs directly to the Shuxin Studio on the second floor. The sound of the piano can be heard from upstairs. It is estimated that many children are studying their specialties on weekends.

Knocking on the door, a pleasant voice came from inside the studio.

"Please come in."

Zhou Ning opened the door, and a girl in a long skirt stood in the studio, turning her head slightly to look at Zhou Ning. Her long hair was pulled back by a paintbrush, and was loosely twisted into a bun, with some pieces of hair hanging down.

The girl didn't wear makeup, but she looked like this, so why should she wear makeup?

A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Zhou Ning, a smile hung on her lips, and two pear dimples flashed at the corners of her lips. Zhou Ning's heart was shocked, and she was so nervous that she didn't know what to say.

"You are classmate Zhou Ning, come in quickly."

Zhou Ning nodded and quickly closed the door. The girl came over. The studio was very large. There were seven or eight children aged fifteen or sixteen, all of whom were painting seriously. On the table in the middle were some bottles and cans, and

fruit.

"I'm Xia Momo. Wait a minute. I have five minutes to finish class. You can take a look around and get familiar with the environment."

With such a considerate arrangement, Zhou Ning's embarrassment instantly disappeared and he quickly nodded with a smile.

Brother was shocked. He thought it would be really embarrassing to study with these professional art students. As for the things on the stage, he had only watched people draw them on TV.

Zhou Ning did not dare to make a sound. She walked behind a boy and saw his drawing board. Zhou Ning's face twitched involuntarily.

That's it?

How else can it look like this? It's not comparable to a human body printer.

Even the ones next to them were a little worse, their gouache brushes were flying up and down, constantly flying on the paper. Although I didn't know what details were trimmed there, but seeing Xia Momo smiling and nodding, it seemed that they did a good job.

At this time, Xia Momo walked to the central stage and clapped her hands.

"Okay, that's it for today's class. Don't be late tomorrow. You don't have many days left for your art exam. You must practice every weekend."

These teenagers quickly packed their things, shook their necks, put away their drawing boards, said hello to Xia Momo and left. Of course, they did not forget to glance at Zhou Ning more, with mysterious smiles on their faces, as if they had discovered

Something incredible.

Xia Momo glanced at her watch with a slight apology on her face.

"I'm a little slow here, I made you wait a little longer, I'm sorry!"

Zhou Ning waved his hand.

"Teacher Xia is so polite. It's good for me to follow you and have a look."

Xia Momo motioned for Zhou Ning to sit opposite. Zhou Ning sat on the short bench with her long legs curled up, feeling a bit like being visited by a teacher at home.

"I heard from Teacher Chen that you are a forensic doctor and want to learn painting from me. I wonder if a forensic doctor also needs the ability to paint?"

Xia Momo's eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars, and her eyebrows made it impossible to look away. Zhou Ning took a deep breath to calm down.

"I want to learn some technical knowledge about face restoration, but this requires very high requirements for painting and sculpture. I have zero foundation in this area. To be honest, Teacher Xia said that my ability is at the level of kindergarten coloring.

"

Xia Momo smiled, and the two pear vortices appeared again.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you have a foundation or not. Learning painting as an adult mainly depends on your determination. However, I am very interested in the facial restoration you mentioned. Is it to fill the skull with muscles and skin to restore the appearance?"

Zhou Ning nodded, this girl is really smart.

"Yes, this is only one aspect. Of course, there is also relying on the victim's description to create a portrait of the murderer."

Xia Momo's eyes widened.

"I've seen it in suspense movies. This one is really powerful. After all, it's difficult to unify description and understanding. This is a great test for painters."

"Well, so I made up my mind to ask my second aunt to help me find a teacher and learn from scratch."

Xia Momo stood up, walked to a cabinet, dug out several plaster bodies, and rearranged them on the table, a sphere, a cone, and a cube.

She walked up to Zhou Ning holding a pencil case and an easel.

"Now that you are determined, let's start entry-level learning. Today we will learn the first lesson, the difference between light and dark."

Two hours of study time have passed, and now Zhou Ning's hands and neck don't seem to be his own.

But looking at the dark pool of paint he drew on the easel, Zhou Ning's face turned red and he shook his head at Xia Momo in embarrassment.

"My eyes are fine, but my hands don't seem to be under my control. I'm really sorry, Teacher Xia."

Xia Momo looked at Zhou Ning's paintings and still smiled softly.

"Drawing is the most test of perception. Today we are going to understand the basics of painting, how to use pens, and how to express light and shade. As long as you practice hard, you will make progress."

Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. It was already twelve o'clock. He hesitated for a moment and looked back at Xia Momo.

"Teacher Xia, let me treat you to lunch, so we can talk about when the next class will be."
Chapter completed!
