Chapter 407: Edge

Jiang Yuan worked for an entire day.

Anyone familiar with 3D modeling knows that once functions and formulas are determined, the work gets faster and faster, especially when familiar with the referents of each variable. As long as one has enough mental capacity, working continuously for long periods doubles and redoubles efficiency.

But once interrupted in the middle, wanting to resume the previous state might require another one or two hours of immersive work.

This is also the reason why many people involved in mathematics, physics, and computer programming often have bad stomachs. When it's time to eat, if work is going smoothly, they are reluctant to leave; and when it's not going smoothly, they have to make up for the work and can't leave.

Jiang Yuan was working on cold cases, so he didn't have such strong demands, but with so many people watching in front of him—especially Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai, who couldn't understand but was trying hard to keep his eyes open and drink goji berry tea—Jiang Yuan couldn't bear to end it.

Jiang Yuan worked on this wave of skull reconstruction until past six in the evening. The reconstruction of Case 2 was almost finished.

Among the eight new forensic doctors who came for training, the two most diligent ones had exhausted their mental capacity and fallen asleep.

The other six were also slumped over, their consciousness in a drifting state.

Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai was drinking goji berry tea that was half concentrated tea and half goji berries. He listened to what he could understand, and combined with the all-nighter last night, as well as his thirty-plus years of experience and accumulation, even if he only understood a very small part, he was still listening.

Wu Wu Fa Yi Ye ordered hamburgers for everyone, prepared water and drinks, helped Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai brew goji berries, and coordinated and handled some work in the criminal police team, having a very fulfilling time.

"Let's eat first." Jiang Yuan checked his watch; it was time to get off work.

"Alright, what are we eating?" Wu Wu Fa Yi Ye responded actively. Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai and the others were blank-faced.

"Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai, let's eat first, and we'll continue later." Jiang Yuan shouted again.

Perhaps because of his voice, Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai suddenly woke up.

"What you're doing is too complicated." Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai sighed deeply. "It does have a certain degree of difficulty." Jiang Yuan admitted. If it weren't for this thing being too difficult, he wouldn't be chasing after Guihua's tail. Just in terms of the time he invested, getting such a set of skull reconstruction techniques to Lv3 would take half a lifetime.

【407-17】 "Too complicated." Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai sighed again, then took a sip of tea and said: "But I think it shouldn't have to be this complicated."

"It's too complicated," Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai sighed again, took a sip of tea, and said, "But I feel it shouldn't have to be this complicated."

"Oh?" Jiang Yuan felt slightly surprised.

"I don't understand those functions you mentioned. I'll just learn to use this software and then call these functions directly. Would that work?" Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai's tone suddenly became cheerful.

In the past few days, he had been considering this aspect. Just like many students preparing for postgraduate entrance exams or even the college entrance exam, after completely losing hope in mathematics, they would make an attempt—what can I take that doesn't require math?

Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai's idea was the same; if he were to start learning math from scratch, it would definitely be too late.

But what if he skipped math?

Skipping math, he could naturally do it too. The initial appearance of skull reconstruction was an accumulation of forensic anthropology knowledge with an artistic atmosphere—a bit eerie—accompanied by a large amount of data accumulation.

Math... Math is a requirement only at Lv3, or rather, it is a prerequisite skill only needed at Lv3.

Therefore, theoretically, Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai didn't need math. Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment and nodded. Being able to cultivate to the Lv1 to Lv2 level was also quite good. Although the practicality was average, given Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai's age, if he really had to pile up to Lv3, he might have to pile up until retirement.

"If you only use the software and ignore the specific relationships of these functions, you can do most skulls, but the accuracy will be slightly worse. Maybe by 10% to 20%." Jiang Yuan told the truth, slightly embellishing it.

"That's enough, that's enough. I'll learn this later..." Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai said, his voice becoming relaxed.

"I'll write you a book list later." Jiang Yuan didn't hear Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai's response, turned to look, and saw he had already fallen asleep.

Wu Wu Fa Yi Ye took one look and thought, *Good heavens, in just a few seconds, he's snoring. * He helped Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai put away his thermos, and Wu Wu Fa Yi Ye greeted the other young people: "Find a stretcher... Oh right, there are no stretchers here, use a folding bed. The basement is too cold; don't let him catch a cold. Carry him to the office to sleep."

【407-31】 The basement here had been cleared for the forensic doctors, and to facilitate moving corpses, a folding bed had been provided.

The basement here had been cleared out for the forensic team, and to make moving corpses more convenient, a cot had been provided.

The folding bed was similar to the stretcher bed used in ambulances, but firmer. Several forensic doctors skillfully and easily carried the little old man onto the folding bed, thoughtfully covered him with a quilt, and then escorted him out of the basement.

Pressing the elevator, going up, the elevator stopped; they were on the first floor.

Two police officers entered the elevator, looked at Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai lying in front of them, and couldn't help but look at each other...

"Doesn't seem to have a smell." "Is it a homicide today?"

The two police officers sniffed their noses, guessing with professional proficiency.

"Is there a homicide?" Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai gurgled in his throat and sat up.

"Holy crap!"

The two police officers shivered in fright.

【407-41】 For the next two days, Jiang Yuan and the others holed up doing skull reconstruction.

Original.

The skulls of the two deceased also gradually reappeared on the computer screen from their white, bone-like state.

"Let's check it." Jiang Yuan finished the reconstruction image of the first deceased and handed it to Wang Chuanxing.

The reconstruction image he made had a high degree of detail. Wang Chuanxing opened the police mobile terminal directly, took a photo for evidence, and queried it.

The result jumped out in seconds.

"Shang Feng. 27 years old, from Kangzhou, 1.71 meters tall, weighs 120 jin, graduated from junior college, only has work records from three years ago..." Wang Chuanxing read the information in the police terminal, and his brow furrowed.

This was a person on the edge of society.

And a person on the edge of society represents both a higher probability of homicide and a higher probability of suicide.

Although there were no statistics, the probability of being pushed down was probably higher than that of an average person.

Hou Lejia quickly caught up and carefully read the pitifully little information on the first corpse.

Seeing his active appearance, Tang Jia hurriedly said: "Captain Hou, this case was sent over from Changyang City."

"I know, I'm just looking." Hou Lejia said without looking back.

【407-54】 "You want to do this case, right?" Tang Jia didn't believe he was just up to look.

"You're looking to work on this case, aren't you?" Tang Jia didn't believe for a second that he had just come up to take a look.

The combat effectiveness ranking was ranked across the province and was also the baton within the entire system. Ranking at the top of the list would lead to various resource tilts, including but not limited to promotions and salary increases, evaluations and awards, as well as various collective merits, individual merits, etc.

And those lagging behind on the list would naturally be punished and cold-shouldered.

Helping other units complete cases, especially homicides, all had extra rewards. Helping with arrests, chasing fugitives, etc., were all common bonus items.

It was impossible for the Longli County Criminal Police Brigade to rank in the middle-lower tier before; they had only reached the middle-lower tier after struggling. This time, Hou Lejia spent a huge sum of money to invite Jiang Yuan, and the money spent had to be recovered through some channel.

But in front of others, Hou Lejia said righteously: "Even if I do this case, it's to help Changyang City. Besides, the previous case, the unidentified corpse, isn't finished yet; I'm not in a hurry."

"Hasn't he confessed yet?" Meng Chengbiao asked with concern.

"Stubborn as a mule. He smothered his wife with a pillow, threw away the pillowcase, but kept the pillow core, which we have already found." Hou Lejia paused and added: "He just doesn't know where he saw something, so he's keeping his mouth shut; there's no big problem, just need to wear him down. Has the other skull been pieced together? Can you see the address?"

His calculations could probably be heard by Yu Wenshu in Changyang City. If the newly reconstructed skull was the same as the previous case, jumping directly to an ID card and address, then solving the case and making arrests would be a one-stop job that wouldn't cost much, but the harvest would be a cold case of homicide involving two lives. Longli County would have to stand tall then.

Jiang Yuan said: "The feature points of the female corpse in Case 2 need to be readjusted."

【407-65】 In the process of reconstructing the skull, there were dozens of feature points to be determined. This step was actually a bit like "pinching a face" in a game, but more meticulous.

Confirmed. This step is actually a bit like character creation in a video game, but much more detailed.

Although the soft tissue on the skull also had a relationship where pulling one hair affected the whole body, the marking of feature points still had a certain degree of freedom, especially for women, which needed extra attention.

Hou Lejia sat down: "I'll wait for you." ===== CHAPTER 408 =====
