Heng City Investigation Bureau!

Forensic autopsy room!

Shen Ting, who was wearing a white coat, held a broken and incomplete skull in his hands and fumbled around repeatedly.

While exploring, he was also writing and drawing on the paper next to him.

The first step in phrenological reconstruction is usually the splicing and reconstruction of the skull and morphological calibration.

Once you have sufficient understanding of the skull structure, you can use plaster to make a skull model.

The victim's facial soft tissue and muscles are then reconstructed based on characteristics such as gender, age, and race.

Finally, the facial features, especially the five eyes and three parts of the face, are restored in detail.

but!

The skull in the Wanfoshan corpse burial case was obviously special.

First of all, the corpse is in a mummy-like state, and the flesh on the surface affects the understanding of the original bone structure.

This, combined with X-rays, can eliminate the impact.

However, the missing one-third of the skull is a relatively big challenge for ordinary phrenology restoration experts.

Because the missing part is mostly located in the facial skull.

Reconstructing the victim's face is of utmost importance.

Even for Shen Ting, it is necessary to combine human body measurements with the existing skull structure to have a basic grasp of the structure of the entire skull.

Shen Ting first studied all the existing facial skulls, and then measured the bone data of various parts of the victim's body.

After the measurement, calculations are performed according to the methods in anthropometry.

The whole process took even longer than the time it took to calculate Lei Ping'an's headless image.

Because although the image of Lei Ping'an has no features of the head, the body is alive and there is no error.

The victim in front of him was not only broken, but also a dried corpse.

The measured data is very different from that of a living body.

It is necessary to calculate the victim's weight, eating habits, nature of work, etc. based on characteristics such as the residual fat layer and bone wear, and restore the victim's approximate body shape before death.

Then, through human body measurement, the skull data is calculated and repaired.

"Forensic Doctor Liu, please dissect the right knee joint. I want to see the extent of the wear!"

"Also dissect the ribs. I want to confirm the accumulation of fat there."

"Measure the curvature of the cervical spine..."

The Heng City Investigation Bureau assigned professional forensic doctors to Shen Ting, who followed Shen Ting's instructions and dissected specific locations one by one.

Then, he watched Shen Ting observe and measure the corresponding parts, and quickly recorded and calculated them on paper.

To be honest, he wanted to steal the skills.

After all, the title of "Treasure House of Humanoid Technology" is now circulating in the criminal investigation community.

Many people say that if Shen Ting mastered all the criminal investigation techniques, even if he only learned one, or even only 70% or 80% of a skill, he would definitely be a top-notch person in the corresponding field.

only!

The forensic doctor watched Shen Ting writing and drawing for a long time, and more and more question marks appeared on his face.

(???) ???

can't read!

I can't understand it at all!

What the hell is this writing about?

"I'd better just focus on studying my forensic skills!"

…

at the same time!

The Heng City police officers and the police officers from the task force who were watching outside the autopsy room all looked at Shen Ting curiously as he measured and calculated.

"It's broken, and with so much skull missing, how can it be restored?"

“This is too amazing!”

"What will this skull look like after it's restored?"

“I don’t know!”

“Although Team Leader Shen said it can be recovered, I don’t know if there will be any accidents.”

"One third of the skull is missing, mostly in the key nose, right face, right eye, and the entire forehead.

It is probably impossible to restore the victim's entire appearance through the method of symmetry.

I don’t know, what does Team Leader Shen plan to do? "

Unlike the curious crowd, Xiong Beibei and Xu Xinyi were much calmer.

They have seen this scene many times.

Previously, in the case of the female corpse in the cave, the victim's body was much more broken than the skull is now.

Although this case has its own special difficulties, I think it should be no problem to restore it.

“Anyway, as long as Shen Ting says it’s possible, it can definitely be done.”

Xiong Beibei muttered.

…

Under the curious and expectant gazes of the crowd, nearly an hour later, Shen Ting walked out of the laboratory holding the restored male skull model.

Zhuo Yan looked at the model in Shen Ting's hand and said in surprise:

“It’s really lifelike!

If I came across a skull model like this late at night, I would definitely mistake it for a real person and be scared half to death!"

Other police officers also praised:

"Team Leader Shen, your skull reconstruction skills are really good!"

"Isn't there a clay man named Zhang? I think Team Leader Shen can be called Clay Man Shen!"

"Haha, with Team Leader Shen's skills, if he doesn't want to investigate cases one day, he can make wax figures for people. He will definitely be an expert in the industry!

This portrait is so lifelike, much better than those creepy wax figures of celebrities."

…

Seeing that everyone was getting off topic, Shen Ting had no choice but to interrupt:

"Scan this restored portrait, put the data into the recognition system, and match it!

If the victim is in the face database, a match should be successful.

If there is no match, we can only publish a missing person notice and ask the public for clues about the victim."

"Right, right, right. Confirming the source of the corpse is the most important thing now."

Zhuo Yan quickly called the staff from the appraisal room.

Shen Ting handed the restored portrait to the other party.

Although the equipment in Heng City is not as good as that in Dajing, it has everything it needs.

After the staff scanned the portrait and determined the facial features, they confirmed with Shen Ting before uploading the data.

The police officers looked anxiously at the computer screen, where facial features were being quickly matched.

Didn't keep everyone waiting too long!

Less than five minutes after the data was uploaded, a soft "beep" sound came from the computer surrounded by everyone.

A pleasant green message appeared on the screen:

Match successful!
