Chapter 408: First Round

~9 min read 1,683 words

Jiang Yuan spent another day before completing the skull reconstruction for Case 2.

Compared to the male corpse in Case 1, the complexity of the female corpse in Case 2 was slightly higher.

Of the two corpses that died from a high fall, the male landed on his feet first, and the female landed on her knees. Because of the height, the long bones basically pierced into the pelvis and above, puncturing the internal organs.

Therefore, after the two landed, they should have died very quickly, but the female decomposed more severely. A little piece of knowledge that many people know is that if a man and a woman die at the same time, the woman usually decomposes faster.

This is because most putrefactive bacteria prefer fat over muscle, and women have an especially rich fat content. Not only that, when fat decomposes, it expands more and faster than muscle, so female corpses form a "giant appearance" faster and rot and stink faster.

However, for Jiang Yuan, the challenge was mainly in the depiction of details. After all, he had just started learning skull reconstruction; he was very smooth when encountering typical situations, but when encountering atypical situations, he worked quite hard. He could do it, but it required constant thinking and the assistance of other skills. From this point of view, Lv3 skull reconstruction is very difficult, but still not strong enough.

It is estimated that it needs to reach the Lv4 level to be a bit more at ease.

"Shang Chuting. 23 years old, from Kangzhou... graduated from high school, there are basically no other records... Well, she should be related to Shang Feng. Like distant cousins." Wang Chuanxing waited for Jiang Yuan to create the face, took a photo with his mobile phone as usual, imported it into the police terminal, and the ID card came out directly.

【408-10】 Taking a photo of the face created by skull reconstruction is almost the same as taking a photo face-to-face, and the clarity is much higher than photos taken by surveillance cameras on highways, and the recognition rate is also high.

It's about the same as taking a photo in person; the clarity is much higher than photos taken by surveillance like highway cameras, and the recognition rate is also higher.

For modern people, if they don't make special disguises and preparations, the difficulty of hiding their identity is getting higher and higher. In places where the flow of people is slightly dense, there are almost bound to be facial recognition checkpoints, and facial recognition technology is also becoming more and more advanced.

Against this background, the value of skull reconstruction has actually increased.

Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai looked at the ID photo, then looked at the photo of the Case 2 corpse reconstructed by Jiang Yuan. It couldn't be said to be exactly the same, but the core feature points were very close.

Marking feature points on a skull is a bit like marking feature points on a fingerprint; in fact, you don't need to mark all of them correctly, just marking a part is enough.

The regression equation cannot be accurate, so it is impossible to pursue absolute accuracy for the face created by skull reconstruction. The key is to be within a certain range so that it is easy to match.

Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai looked relieved. The sources of the two corpses were determined, and his study life came to an end. Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai also needed them to come to an end; he had been drinking goji berry water recently until he got "internal heat."

Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai said: "It seems they are related. Cousins going mountain climbing together, the probability of suicide should be relatively low. Now we need to consider more the possibility of accidental falls and homicide. However, this is a matter for the criminal police to be busy with."

"Why?" Shen Yaowei was sitting nearby and asked subconsciously.

Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai was stunned by the question: "What do you mean why? Double suicide is usually because of emotional problems, right? The two deceased are cousins, so naturally, such a problem doesn't exist."

【408-21】 "Just because they are cousins, there would be such a problem, right?" Shen Yaowei's expression began to become academic like Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai yesterday, and he discussed seriously: "The two love each other, but because they are cousins, they have both external pressure and internal torment. So, the two agreed to go out, travel together, climb mountains together, and felt happy. But as the time to go home approached, the two became anxious again. The last time they climbed the mountain, standing on the edge of the cliff, the two suddenly decided to jump down together..."

right." Shen Yaowei's expression began to turn academic, just like Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai's yesterday, and he discussed earnestly: "Two people in love, but because

they were first cousins, they faced both external pressure and inner torment. So, the two agreed to go out together, travel together,

and go hiking together, feeling happy. However, as the day to return home drew closer, they became anxious again. The last time they went hiking, standing at the edge of a cliff, they suddenly decided to hold hands and jump..."

Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai looked at Shen Yaowei with strange eyes, making the latter feel a bit embarrassed, before Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai said: "Are the young people today so feudal in their thinking?"

Shen Yaowei felt something was wrong, and his brow slowly furrowed: "What do you mean?"

"If they love each other, they can just run away together. How many young people today stay in their hometowns? Is it worth dying for love?" Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai shook his head: "However, if you have such feudal thinking, it is necessary to list suicide for love as a consideration."

【408-28】 "No, how am I feudal!" Shen Yaowei couldn't accept such an evaluation. He could be accused of being promiscuous or a scumbag, but how could he accept the word "feudal"? Shen Yaowei said anxiously: "They are distant cousins. Even if they are a generation apart, they still belong to close relatives, right? This isn't feudal... this is... this is ethics and morality, and it's also science!"

"No, how am I being feudal!" Shen Yaowei couldn't accept such a critique. He could be accused of being promiscuous or a scumbag, but how could he accept the word "feudal"? Shen Yaowei said anxiously: "They were distant cousins; even if they were a generation apart, they still count as close relatives, right? This isn't feudal... this is... this is ethics and morality, and it's also science!"

"Preventing marriage between close relatives is out of ethical needs, and more out of reproductive considerations." Wu Wu Fa Yi Zhai said very scientifically: "If you care, you can choose not to have children, right? Don't young people today not have children?"

"What do you mean 'we'? I'm not included in this!" Shen Yaowei was about to shout.

Hou Lejia quickly scurried up.

The so-called "close water towers get the moonlight first." Jiang Yuan and the others were in Longli County, using the CT machine he bought, the computer he bought, and the office he renovated to make achievements; he would naturally hear the news first.

Hou Lejia also got the first round of choice.

It's just that sometimes, having too many choices is also a kind of pain.

Both deceased were from Kangzhou, and the investigation would likely require going to other places. Calculated based on the low-profile two cars, it would first be a considerable expense.

The results of the investigation were also divided. If it was a homicide, even if the expenses were really high, the combat effectiveness ranking would reward the Longli County Criminal Police Brigade with points.

But what if it wasn't a homicide? If the two really committed suicide or fell accidentally, the hard-earned investigation would be in vain.

"I'll do it." Hou Lejia gritted his teeth. The opportunity was delivered to his door; it would be unreasonable not to take it.

Jiang Yuan didn't care. He couldn't stop Hou Lejia from doing or not doing a certain case, but...

Before Jiang Yuan could speak, Yu Wenshu's phone call came in.

His Jiang Yuan Cold Case Task Force couldn't possibly be kept secret from Yu Wenshu.

"Is it done?" Yu Wenshu's voice sounded very gentle.

"Yes, the source of the corpse has been determined." Jiang Yuan said.

"Well done, hey... well, this case was left there, couldn't be done, and couldn't be closed directly, and the funeral home fees have been running for quite a while..." Yu Wenshu rambled for a few sentences, which counted as connecting feelings, and hung up reluctantly.

Beside him, Hou Lejia's brow furrowed: "Is Changyang City going to investigate it themselves?"

"It was their case to begin with." Jiang Yuan said casually.

【408-48】 "That's what they say, but the source of the corpse was determined in our Longli County. Changyang City has such a large territory, are they short of these three melons and two dates? Not generous, not generous..." Hou Lejia calculated in his heart, his abacus beads clattering loudly.

jujubes? That's not very generous, not generous at all..." Hou Lejia calculated in his heart.

【408-50】 Once the source of an unidentified corpse is determined, the case usually won't be too complicated. But to what extent it is usually is where Hou Lejia should worry...

Once the source of an unidentified corpse is confirmed, the case usually isn't too complicated. But just how complicated it gets is where Hou Lejia needs to worry...

"It's rare to have a cold case of homicide that might be solved." Hou Lejia said this to strengthen his own idea. After saying this, he took out his mobile phone and began to assign tasks to his subordinates.

Watching this scene, a phrase floated into Shen Yaowei's mind, and he said it out loud: "Welcome to the confrontation lane." ===== CHAPTER 409 =====
