Chapter 1259: Cheating

White bones stood in the pot, surrounded by white bone soup bubbling, looking very appetizing.

"This is the most popular hot pot soup base in our Malaysian Sichuan-style hot pot restaurant, beef bone soup. Cooking ingredients in it makes everything taste good, especially vegetables, which are very sweet. In addition, we also prepared a fish maw chicken soup base, placed over here. Fish maw chicken is a bit richer, everyone can choose the type they like." The Chinese chef stood by the hot pot, diligently introducing it to Jiang Yuan and the others.

Nicha corrected from the side: "It's beef bone soup, you have to be clear."

The chef was stunned for a moment, feeling that this person was a bit nitpicky, but still followed suit and said: "It is beef bone soup, that's right."

"Hmm... I'll eat fish maw chicken." Nicha stood up and moved from Jiang Yuan's side to the opposite side.

Jiang Yuan wiped his hands with the hot towel beside him without changing his expression, and then said: "Everyone wipe your hands. Are we eating the big bones first?"

The latter sentence was asked to the chef.

The chef nodded immediately and said: "Yes, I will prepare a dipping sauce dish for you. You can see what you like and put a little bit in."

He said as he took out a large nine-grid dipping sauce dish, put some soy sauce in Jiang Yuan's small dipping sauce dish, and left the rest for Jiang Yuan to add himself.

Nicha at the same table watched Jiang Yuan's movements, also took a hot towel to wipe his hands, and the more he wiped, the more uncomfortable he felt.

The hot pot they were using was naturally brand new, and it was urgently transferred from the shop, but in the forensic autopsy room, the same pot was boiling big bones. Thinking of this scene, Nicha couldn't help but have gastrointestinal spasms.

Of course, he couldn't vomit, and couldn't even show disgust, because those who would do so were rookie criminal police. Only those who had just entered the job and hadn't seen the scene a few times couldn't control their throat muscles.

Nicha's throat muscles were trained!

He thought while controlling his throat muscles, and then...

Jiang Yuan started shabu-shabu meat.

Red and white Malaysian local yellow beef, sliced thin, cooked in a few seconds and scooped out, even if it was just dipped in a little soy sauce, it was delicious.

The chef ground a little wasabi again, thoughtfully put it on a plate and handed it to Jiang Yuan, letting him dip in soy sauce and wasabi on the front and back respectively, just like the way of eating sushi or sashimi, and it was just as fragrant and sweet when changed to shabu-shabu beef.

Jiang Yuan ate quite seriously.

There are no years in handling cases. Now the case hasn't really unfolded. Once it unfolds, it will be the time when the Malaysian police's manpower and material resources are piled up. Even if it is a god, it is not easy to waste time.

This is the same state as the commander after many battles have been launched. The soldiers below are fighting for their lives, how can the commander not forget to eat and sleep?

Even if soldiers are used like mud, you are only allowed to pile up troops to increase the tiny winning percentage, but you must not easily waste the soldiers' physical strength, energy, and even lives.

Jiang Yuan estimated that the difficulty of this case was not small.

The urban environment in Malaysia is not like the country, lacking surveillance, and the police's control of the position is far from enough. When it comes to privacy issues such as mobile phones and surveillance cameras, the cooperation of ordinary people will also be greatly reduced.

Under these circumstances, Jiang Yuan didn't have a complete investigation idea. Don't look at the fact that he had already extracted some trace evidence through electron microscopes and other equipment, but these could at most be considered clues, which could only be said to have advanced the progress of the investigation, but as for solving the case—now he couldn't see where the finish line was.

Wei Shiyan, who was originally leisurely, noticed Jiang Yuan's appearance of burying his head in eating, and subconsciously began to alarm.

During this period, his mathematical progress was small, but his progress in studying his master Jiang Yuan was too great. So, seeing Jiang Yuan burying his head in storing nutrition, Wei Shiyan subconsciously reacted.

"Master, you try this." Wei Shiyan hurriedly used public chopsticks to clip a chopstick of meat for Jiang Yuan, and also clipped a large piece for himself.

Before others had reacted, the master and apprentice finished eating first.

Jiang Yuan wiped his mouth, stood up, and said: "I'll go down and see how the boiling is going. You guys continue eating."

Others just started, and for a while, they were a bit hesitant.

Wei Shiyan followed Jiang Yuan's footsteps without hesitation, and thoughtfully said to others: "I'm full too, I'll follow Master first, you guys eat for a while longer."

After speaking, Jiang Yuan and Wei Shiyan went to the forensic autopsy room.

White bones stood in the pot, surrounded by white bone soup bubbling...

A forensic assistant sat in the autopsy room with a bitter face, holding a stick, stirring in the largest water bath. Beside him, the pressure cooker and several hot pot stoves were all spraying white gas, pretending to be very busy.

Jiang Yuan turned his head and looked at Wei Shiyan.

Wei Shiyan was indeed fixed on the ground, and didn't continue to walk forward for a long time.

It was mainly because the hot pot stove being used in the autopsy room was too familiar, and there was a strong strange fragrance in the room, making Wei Shiyan, who had just eaten his fill, a bit unable to adapt.

However, he was a regular criminal police officer who had been in the criminal police detachment for two years. Although he was a bit watery, his knowledge was not lacking. After forcing himself to turn his head and not look at the hot pot stove, Wei Shiyan's expression gradually returned to normal.

Jiang Yuan nodded, then turned back and asked the forensic assistant: "How is it? Are there any that have detached from the bones?"

"Maybe the one in the pressure cooker has detached?" The forensic assistant was not sure.

"Open a pot and see." Jiang Yuan said as he went to the changing room to dress.

When he came out, Jacob and several other forensic doctors had already arrived.

Forensic anthropology is rare and not a prominent study in the country, and it is even more so in Malaysia.

Although Jacob studied in a beautiful orthodox British university, he didn't learn these things.

As a modern and classical science, if you want to learn forensic anthropology well, you not only need theory, but also a lot of practice, and it is best to have someone teach you hand in hand.

Of course, there are some talented monsters who don't reason.

A pressure cooker was opened.

Jacob took the initiative to step forward and lifted out a wet bone stick.

There were still some meat threads on the bone, he rinsed it in the pot, and the bone stick looked clean.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan stood in front of the first autopsy table and said: "Put it here."

For him, he didn't need a full set of bones to make a judgment. In some cases he did before, there were only parts of the corpse, and even only burnt bone fragments, Jiang Yuan could do it all the way. Now the conditions were more abundant, there was no reason why it had to be fully cooked.

The bones in the first pot were mainly an arm and part of the chest. Jiang Yuan laid them out on the spot, took two glances at the arm, and then focused his attention on the ribs.

Because the chest was hacked too many times by the axe, the ribs were mostly incomplete, and there were many marks on the bones.

In this way, even if he didn't find very fresh corpse chunks, just looking at the bones, he could analyze a lot of information about the axe. Of course, combining the two and verifying each other was definitely better.

"Should I open the pot with the skull too?" Jacob asked. Getting a response, he released the pressure for the second pressure cooker.

The pressure cooker made a *hissing* sound and emitted more and more complex smells.

Jacob pondered silently, just turning the ventilation system to the maximum.

A pile of scattered bones was scooped up by Jacob with a filter spoon similar to the one used for Chaoshan hot pot.

The skull is composed of 23 bones of different sizes, combined by connective tissue, cartilage, and bone sutures. The temperature of more than 100 degrees in the pressure cooker caused the connective tissue to denature, so the skull could no longer maintain its form.

In addition, because of the murderer's lack of rigor during cutting, the fresh skull originally carried some cervical vertebrae, which made the puzzle at the scene a little chaotic.

But it didn't affect it.

Jiang Yuan waited for the heat on the bones to dissipate a little, then put on gloves and pieced them together one by one. This process basically didn't take much effort.

It was just that the final pieced-together skull was not complete.

"The facial part of the skull is already broken." Jacob sighed: "In this case, skull reconstruction is not feasible."

He had also heard of Jiang Yuan's skull reconstruction technique. For forensic doctors, this thing was like a killing move or a big move. Although it couldn't be released casually, if it could be held in hand, it would definitely be more reassuring.

Jiang Yuan smiled at this time: "Not necessarily."

As he spoke, Jiang Yuan tapped the sides of the skull and said: "Strictly speaking, skull reconstruction is to restore the entire skull, because the appearance of a person's head is not simply composed of the front part. According to the four parts of full skull anatomy, the skull cap, skull base, skull side, and skull front must overlap to be considered complete skull reconstruction."

Jiang Yuan: "Among them, although the front of the skull is the most important, it is also the most time-consuming. If you want to restore the front of the skull, it will take at least hundreds of hours. Instead, the remaining three parts are faster to do..."

"But with only these three parts, you can't do facial recognition, right?" Jacob pointed out the main problem.

"It gives more information than ribs." Jiang Yuan paused and then said: "Combined with the information given by other bones, it should be enough."

Jacob couldn't help but ask: "What information?"

"You'll know when you take it out." Jiang Yuan pouted. He hadn't seen the bones yet, but he had the confidence to use anthropological technology to dig out the information from these bones.

While speaking, Jiang Yuan opened "Skill Level Temporary +1" and pointed it to LV3 Forensic Anthropology.

More than 400 minutes of LV4 Forensic Anthropology was enough to lift the ancestral graves of the emperor's family!
