[First update]

The backyard of the city bureau.

With a sudden braking sound, two police cars stopped in front of the technical office.

Zhou Ning and others jumped out of the car, and Xiao Sun carried a box down. Da Zhao rushed out of the car and ran directly to the trash can to vomit. Xu Dayuan threw a bottle of mineral water to a criminal policeman, and the man went to see Da Zhao.

Da Zhao's face turned pale, and Zhou Ning supported him.

"Why are you still motion sick?"

Da Zhao waved his hand.

"It's not motion sickness. I just made it up in my head. The more I think about it, the more my stomach turns. You go up first. Dr. Lu and the others are probably already here. I'll go up slowly."

Zhou Ning nodded, smiled at the detective who was supporting Da Zhao, and then quickly went up to the third floor. As soon as he arrived at the door of the Forensic Medicine Teaching and Research Office, he heard Dr. Lu's laughter.

"Dr. Lu, are you here?"

Seeing Zhou Ning and Xu Dayuan come in, Dr. Lu stood up happily, grabbed their hands respectively, and shook them vigorously.

"Finally we've been waiting for you, but there's a case just now?"

Xu Dayuan was a little embarrassed. Although the software was developed by Zhou Ning, it was a project invested by Qindao University. If something happened here, just calling someone to come over was a bit excessive.

"On the first day of registration, please come over. I'm really embarrassed to ask, so I can only ask Zhou Xiaozhou to come forward!"

Dr. Lu waved his hands and smiled even more happily.

"That's not what you said. I'm looking forward to your coming. As for the software, it is now in the experimental stage. It has provided us with such good experimental conditions. It is too late for us to be happy, so how can we still dislike it?

Okay, let's move on to the next step. Don't use such polite greetings to compliment each other. You're not good at it, and I don't think it's necessary. Everyone feels tired. If you don't come to me, I will be angry.

"

Xu Dayuan raised his head and laughed, patting Dr. Lu on the shoulder.

"Okay, I listen to you, the skull has been found, now it depends on your methods!"

Zhou Ning just smiled and did not interfere in the conversation between the two of them. This was a business-to-business communication and it was not convenient for him to participate. At this moment, the door of the teaching and research room was opened, and many people came in carrying equipment. A familiar person

Zhou Ning was stunned by the figure.

Why is she here?

"Teacher Xia?"

Xia Momo turned her head and saw Zhou Ning's signature smile on her lips. The two pear dimples were still so beautiful.

"Aren't you surprised to see me?"

Zhou Ning nodded and glanced at Dr. Lu with confusion, as if he wanted to find the answer from Dr. Lu.

"Surprise, but why are you with Dr. Lu? This."

Zhou Ning's brain was a little exhausted now. Dr. Lu came over and looked at Zhou Ning and then at Xia Momo.

"Do you know each other?"

"Well, I learned painting from Teacher Xia. The first time I performed facial restoration on a deceased person was completed by Teacher Xia and me. After that, I came up with the idea of ​​software development."

Dr. Lu looked surprised.

"It turns out that Momo is the Teacher Xia that Zhou Xiaozhou talked about!"

Seeing that Zhou Ning still looked confused, Xia Momo quickly explained:

"Don't be so surprised. I was originally a teacher at Qindao University. I was just seconded by the Education Bureau to work as a substitute teacher for a year. I helped my pregnant cousin with the last batch of art students. Many people thought I was assigned there.

, I didn’t explain it either.”

Zhou Ning suddenly realized, but he pointed at Dr. Lu and couldn't ask any questions for a while. It seemed that everything was too coincidental, as if it had been arranged in advance.

"But why did you join the software development team?"

Dr. Lu came over.

"I chose it. Although our software restored and synthesized the portrait before, the result was quite satisfactory. I talked to Momo's father. Momo was there at the time. After watching it, she shared some of her opinions. I felt very

It’s worthy of reference, so I made a softened version, and I want to show it to you today.”

Zhou Ning suddenly realized that he also remembered at this time that Xia Momo's father was a teacher at Qindao University. It was not surprising that he was involved. He looked at Xia Momo with some embarrassment. After all, his attitude just now was not good.

"Sorry, I'm a little surprised. Welcome to join the team!"

Xia Momo smiled slightly.

"I originally wanted to surprise you, but I didn't want to scare you."

"It's a surprise!"

Da Zhao came over and stretched out his hand towards Xia Momo from behind Zhou Ning.

"I am Zhao Xinli, they all call me Da Zhao. Today I finally met Teacher Xia in person. Welcome!"

Xia Momo didn't hesitate, shook hands with Da Zhao, then said hello to Xu Dayuan, and went directly to help assemble various equipment. Xu Dayuan looked at Zhou Ning and raised his chin towards Xia Momo.

"Coming after me?"

Da Zhao almost laughed, but Zhou Ning quickly shook his head.

"Xu Dabie"

Xu Dayuan nodded and waved to their team.

"Xiao Zeng stays, and the rest of the people leave."

On the first day of reporting, Xu Dayuan did not do well to torment these people, but the military order has been issued, and he must solve the case as soon as possible no matter what. There is no running-in period to talk about at this time.

The skull box was placed on the table. Zhou Ning put on gloves and carefully took it out. Da Zhao had already sent the LED magnifying glass to Zhou Ning's side.

Many places on the surface of the skull are dark, and there are still traces of gnawing teeth. There are deep canine teeth next to the incisors. These are the traces left by the macaques' gnawing.

As for the remaining grease and other impurities on the skull, these can be ignored for the time being. After all, it takes time to remove them, and Zhou Ning has always been very repelled by the thought of the pressure cooker and its smell.

As for the method of deboning small insects that foreigners like to use, Zhou Ning is even more difficult to accept. He hopes that his team can find an entomology expert in the future who can at least take on such work.

"Dr. Lu can scan it now. The deceased's head has completely turned into white bones."

Dr. Lu's people gathered together, and a group of people headed by Xiao Qu continued to scan and take pictures around the skull. Zhou Ning could tell that within a month, the scanning tools had also been improved.

It's like a rotating arm with a camera on each side. As the arm rotates above the skull, the photo is finished, and the photo taken now is no longer the fixed number of photos before, but seems to be a 360° stereoscopic scan.

Zhou Ning glanced at Xia Momo, and for some reason she always felt that this transformation had something to do with her. Dr. Lu smiled, raised an eyebrow at Zhou Ning and introduced:

"We have improved the way we take photos. Instead of taking photos at a fixed angle, we now have a 360° surround scan, so that the wounds and certain specific shapes on the bones can be analyzed more accurately. Teacher Xia's suggestion."

"good!"

Zhou Ning's answer was very simple. Dr. Lu and the others didn't think it was inappropriate. At this time, Xia Momo and Xiao Qu walked to the console. As the data was entered, Xia Momo looked at Zhou Ning.

"Forensic Doctor Zhou, can you give us some characteristics of the deceased?"

"The deceased was a male, aged between 70 and 80 years old, 170-175 cm tall, and weighed 65-75 kg. He had osteoporosis, severe degenerative changes in the spine, difficulty moving his lower limbs, and bone cancer.

The middle finger of the right hand is somewhat bent outward, and the knuckles and wrist joints are hyperplastic, but the left hand is better. As for other features, it cannot be seen from the bones."

Dr. Lu was stunned for a moment and glanced at the skull.

"That is to say, the deceased is just a skeleton?"

Da Zhao Bi Ya came over, waved his hand and explained.

"Not accurate. Only the skull is complete. The remaining parts were cut into more than 300 parts. Most of the bones have been found, but there are still occasional fragments."

Xia Momo was not frightened. She discussed it with Xiao Qu and began to input various data. In a moment, four composite portraits appeared on the big screen. Zhou Ning was a little surprised to see this revised composite state.

how to say?

The portraits stitched together by the software before looked fake at first glance, and the skin, lines, and hair were all fake. But now the four photos displayed on the big screen, when you look at them coldly, they are photos, and each of the four photos has something fake.

different.

Xia Momo smiled at Zhou Ning and explained:

"I see that the age range you gave is 70-80 years old, so I made a few more comparison pictures, one every five years for 60-75 years old. After all, some people change their ID cards earlier."

Zhou Ning nodded and shifted his gaze from Xia Momo to Xiao Qu.

"Log in to the household registration system and try to search!"

Xiao Qu quickly started operating, the photos in the search box kept flashing, Zhou Ning glanced at Da Zhao and pointed at the watch on his wrist.

"It has been three hours since we sent for the test before we went to Xinghua City. Let's go see the laboratory department to see if the results are available."

Xiao Sun raised his hand and volunteered:

"I'll go. I went to deliver it for inspection. It's better for me to pick it up. I don't know who to look for when Zhao Henjian goes there. After all, it's easy if you don't know him."
Chapter completed!
