When it comes to the profession of analog portraitist, you may not be familiar with it. This profession seems to be very inconspicuous in the process of solving criminal investigations, but every time it appears, it must be related to a major case. Probably most people's cognition of the simulated portraitist is stuck in the "Aunt Mei" incident, drawing a story of a 90% similarity of the criminal portrait based on the oral accounts of the companions. The recent unit detective drama "Crime Hunting Atlas" launched by iQiyi tells the profession of simulated portrait painter.
Shen Yi, the portrait artist played by Tan Jianci, can restore the true appearance of the victim's skull or the suspect's appearance characteristics, thus playing a decisive role in the detection of the case. Such a high-density, fast-paced TV series was well received as soon as it was broadcast.
In recent years, the criminal investigation dramas launched have focused on the tendency to de-criminal investigation and emphasize psychological problems, so that although the audience can empathize when chasing the drama, it still lacks a bit of cool feeling of solving the case. "Hunting Crime Illustrated Book" is a good fusion of the two, using the niche profession of simulating the portrait painter as a breakthrough, using Shen Yi's brush to tell us one rare case after another.
Of course, this is a two-male protagonist TV series, in addition to Shen Yi, the simulated portrait master, there is also Du Cheng, the criminal police captain played by Jin Shijia, who joined hands to solve the case, and in the process of solving the current case, the progress of Master Du Cheng's murder case seven years ago was used as a supplementary line, and the whole drama was connected. As a unit detective drama, because of the murder of Master Du Cheng, the plot is no longer thin and perfectly integrated.
Although Du Cheng and Shen Yi looked at each other unfavorably, the two people complemented each other in the process of solving the case. Shen Yi is responsible for providing technical support, Du Cheng is responsible for the implementation of the landing, and the two people cooperate with tacit understanding on the basis of screwing, which can be said to be a very good pair of golden partners.
By depicting two story lines, "Crime Hunting Atlas" creates a balance, allowing the audience to have both a cool point and no sense of separation in the process of chasing the drama. On the surface, each case only has two or three episodes, but each case is shallow to deep, showing the complexity of human nature and the duality of events.
In the case of the plastic surgery hospital murder, the director of the plastic surgery hospital was killed, but it also involved him to sexually assault the patient, and although the murderer Jiang Ge killed someone, he was also a poor person who had been sexually assaulted. In the domestic violence case, the murderer killed people and laid out the layout, but also hid the real situation, but then investigated that she was abused by the family for many years, escaped for four years and was found by her husband, and in discouragement, she killed the victim with her husband's girlfriend.
Everyone seems guilty, but in some ways, everyone is innocent. This is the magic of this drama, the group portrait is portrayed very well, each character has flesh and blood and personality, and it can make the audience empathize. "Crime Hunting Atlas" is undoubtedly a dark horse in March this year, and it is also a masterpiece of criminal investigation dramas in recent years, which makes it difficult for people not to love it.
