Chapter 241: You can also read lips? Amazing!

"Okay, we found them. They are this group of people."

"I've only seen three so far. I wonder how many more there will be later."

The three poachers in the picture are dressed very simply, their faces are dirty, and some even have beards.

People who live in the mountains all year round generally don't take care of their appearance, especially the poachers who have to hide from place to place every day. I don't know how much psychological pressure they are under.

So it’s normal to have no time to take care of yourself.

"As expected, there is a big difference between poachers and ordinary people. Once they appear in a big city, they can basically be identified at a glance."

"Of course they can, but you wouldn't necessarily know they were poachers. At most you'd think they were street urchins or homeless people from somewhere."

At this moment, a bald man suddenly walked up to the man who was repairing the gun.

The two seemed to be communicating something.

It's just that the distance is too far and I can't hear it clearly.

"What are they talking about?"

"Brother Su, can you please let the little mouse come closer? I can't hear you clearly."

"Do you really think of me as a laborer? I'm lucky to have found this place."

Watching the barrage of comments floating by, Su Ran became a little anxious.

The distance was indeed quite far, and I could only see the two people's lips moving, but I couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

"It would be great if we could get some information and clues from them." At this time, Wang Zhibin, who was watching the live broadcast, clenched his fists and felt a little unwilling.

A young police officer nearby suggested, "How about we ask an expert who can read lips to come over and interpret it for us?"

Wang Zhibin also wants to do that!
Do you really think this is a TV drama?

Wang Zhibin frowned in worry. "Let's say our Daqing Office has such professional talent. As for the branch office, there is no such talent either. You've watched too much TV."

In movies and TV dramas, everyone can be a lip-reading master.

But in real life, without any other information to assist, even for experienced lip-reading experts, the success rate of lip-reading is only about 50%.

So it’s no exaggeration to say that being able to read other people’s lips is definitely a superpower!
【You have obtained the Lip Reading Master Expert】

This is really what you want.

Su Ran, who was originally a little worried, suddenly became happy.

"Don't worry, everyone. I'm not very talented, but I've learned some lip reading before..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chen Sisi: "Su Ran, you are talking nonsense again."

"Why, you don't believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it."

Chen Sisi put her hands on her slender waist, tilted her chin and asked, "When did you learn this? When you were a kid? Or recently?"

Could Su Ran have learned this when he was a child?
Pull it down.

As for recently.

But she, Chen Sisi, had never seen her before.

Su Ran chuckled: "Can't I just hide in bed late at night and make up for the lessons?"

The two of them were playing around, but Wang Zhibin asked Su Ran very seriously:
"Stationmaster Su, are you sure you can read lips?"

He knows it's hard.

Because when a person speaks, the mouth will constantly change according to the content of the speech. Among all the phonetic symbols, only about 30% are directly controlled by our lips.

The remaining 70% of the phonetic symbols are dental, lingual and glottal sounds that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

This is why, in many cases, seemingly identical mouth shapes may be interpreted as completely different results.

In addition, the speaker's conjunctions, accent, and even the thickness of his beard can cause changes in the shape of his mouth.

Although these changes are very subtle, any one of them is enough to affect lip reading.

"I'm afraid only an FBI agent with the level of observation can quickly capture and distinguish these subtle differences." Wang Zhibin is not just flattering others. It is true that at present, among the police talent pool, there are relatively few people who can read lips.

Even if there is, it cannot guarantee 100% accuracy.

"Try it, and you'll know if you try it."

Su Ran said lightly, and it was not difficult to see from the confidence on his face that he was still very confident.

Carefully staring at the two people's mouth shapes on the screen, Su Ran subconsciously murmured:
"Let the brothers rest here for the next few days and don't make too much noise in the forest."

The one who spoke was the bald man.

"Oh, I see."

The man repairing the gun nodded.

It is obvious that this bald guy has a lot of say in this poaching group.

He may not be the boss, but at least he has a certain status.

"Also, when Dongzi comes back, let him rest for a few days and don't go out alone again."

"But wasn't Dongzi's mission assigned by the boss? It was he who found the gold nuggets in the forest. My intuition tells me that there must be a big secret hidden in this forest."

Su Ran frowned and repeated himself in a lower voice.

He didn't even read out some of the following dialogues.

Because from the conversation, we learned that this group of poachers had discovered gold nuggets in the forest not long ago, just like Su Ran.

And they found more than one piece.

Based on experience, there must be a place in this forest where treasures such as gold are buried.

Maybe it was lost during the war or buried in the forest.

Therefore, in addition to poaching, these poachers are now also looking for more gold.

Su Ran didn't dare tell this news directly to the audience in the live broadcast room.

After all, this is no small matter.

If things go wrong, some people who like to watch the show will come to the forest to "hunt for treasure" like crazy. Su Ran doesn't even dare to think about the trouble that will be caused.

"Brother Su, why are you suddenly silent?"

"Yeah, what are Brother Su and the others talking about later?"

The audience in the live broadcast room felt strange because the host was talking fine and suddenly fell silent.

Some smart viewers have already guessed that it is a joy that cannot be revealed.

Wang Zhibin, a policeman, noticed it immediately.

He sent a private message to Su Ran: "Stationmaster Su, any major discoveries?"

The upper left corner shows that the other party is typing, but the message has not been sent.

Su Ran had already imagined Wang Zhibin's anxious state as he kept typing and deleting on the keyboard.

He immediately replied: "It's a relatively important matter, but I don't know how to tell you. How about you come over tonight?"

For some things, Su Ran still felt it was better to say them face to face.

Wang Zhibin on the other side also said very straightforwardly: "Okay, I'll come to see you tonight."

Su Ran turned off the live broadcast and all he had to do next was wait and see what would happen.

In short, the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, so there is no need to worry about alerting the enemy.

After returning home, Su Ran took out a gold nugget wrapped in red cloth from the cabinet.

He looked at it carefully.

He had never sold this valuable gold nugget because he was curious about its origin.

Looking at the deliberately polished marks on the bottom, Su Ran was puzzled: "Where did this come from? Why was the steel stamp on it deliberately removed?" (End of this chapter)
