Outside the appraisal room!
The police officers, who had originally looked gloomy, were stunned for a moment when they heard Chen Ting say the word "shadow puppeteer". All their gloom was replaced by enlightenment.
If Shen Ting had mentioned other professions, everyone would definitely not be like this.
One might even wonder what this profession has to do with leatherworkers?
But when it comes to "shadow puppeteer", everyone is 70% to 80% sure without Shen Ting's explanation, and this is the profession of a leather maker.
And those special substances such as pigments were most likely left behind by leather makers.
The reason is simple!
Leather workers use human skin to make leather shoes, leather hats, etc. and sell them.
Shadow puppeteers use animal skins to make shadow puppets for performances.
Both require the use of "skin"!
The probability of this being a coincidence is too low.
not to mention!
The wooden house where the three special pigments were found happened to be the place where the leatherworker committed the crime and took the skins.
If the leather worker and the shadow puppet artist are not the same person——
That is to say, the leather worker and the shadow puppet artist chose that place as the place to kill people and take their skins, and as a temporary place to stay respectively?
Are you kidding me?
Is there a treasure in that broken wooden house? Why are all of them crowding in there?
"wonderful!
It’s wonderful!
As the special task force leader for the Leatherworker case, Shao Ming was under the greatest pressure. Naturally, he was the most excited when he found a breakthrough.
“What else could a leather worker be other than a shadow puppeteer?
I can’t think of a better answer!”
What excited Shao Ming the most was that if the shadow puppeteer's answer was just a groundless speculation, then its value was actually not high.
But now, Shen Ting brought up the shadow puppeteer based on the special physical evidence in the pool of blood in the wooden house.
Well-reasoned and well-founded!
The value of this inference is much higher.
“Well, Investigation Team One, you will contact the Shadow Puppet Association in Dajing immediately.
Ask them for all the information required to register as a member.
Find the shadow puppet artists living in Hongye Bay.
The leatherworker is most likely among them."
"yes!"
A captain agreed and immediately led his men out of the appraisal room.
They were actually very curious about why Shen Ting judged that the owner of those special substances was a shadow puppeteer.
But I also know that investigating the case is more important.
Director Zhang Chuanyi asked curiously:
"Chen Ting, you judged the murderer to be a shadow puppeteer because of the three special pigments that only shadow puppeteers use?"
"That's not the case!"
Chen Ting explained: “Those three special pigments are actually used by many painters, sculptors, etc.
Especially some painters and sculptors who pursue natural colors!
Looking at these three pigments individually, they are somewhat specific, but not sufficiently so.
But when you add in the cinnabar and beeswax identified by Director Dama before, the situation becomes different.
The specificity becomes sufficient to be unique.
Usually only shadow puppeteers use these five special substances at the same time."
“I won’t talk about the three kinds of pigments.
It's a very old paint formula!
Shadow puppeteers usually mix beeswax with tung tree sap.
Make an ancient adhesive!
Used to glue the joints of shadow puppets and to glue the shadow puppets and bamboo strips together.
This is a very old colloidal formula.
Since all the materials used are pure natural materials, their antiseptic properties are naturally poor.
Therefore, shadow puppet artists add cinnabar to the colloid as a preservative."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded.
I am even more convinced that the leather maker is a shadow puppeteer.
Previously, because shadow puppet artists and leather makers were both involved in "skin", they subconsciously thought that this conclusion was correct.
Now, multiple trace evidences have been combined to produce specificity, so the validity of this conclusion is naturally higher.
"Chen Ting knows a lot!"
“The process of shadow puppet making is probably unknown to many people, but Chen Ting seems to be very familiar with it.”
"Not only is he good at searching for corpses, but his ability in identifying trace evidence even surpasses that of the director of the identification room.
Is your analysis of the physical evidence also that impressive?"
…
The police officers reacted strongly, but Shen Ting didn't care much and opened the case-solving group.
From the perspective of ordinary police officers, it is indeed very difficult to identify those special pigments involved in the case.
But in the eyes of Shen Ting, who obtained "trace evidence", it was just average.
He directly uploaded the identification report to the case-solving group.
A brief explanation of the identification process and conclusions was also given.
Forensic doctor Qin Ming: "Isolate and identify special substances dissolved in the blood?
The difficulty of this identification is extremely high, but it was actually successful?
And they identified three special substances at once?"
Tang Tan Qin Feng: "This appraiser is very powerful!
Is he a friend of the group owner? "
Kiko: “No!
How could anyone else possibly complete such a difficult identification?
In my opinion, only the group leader can do this.
@Group leader, Boss, tell me the truth, were you the one who did the trace evidence identification?
(~￣△￣)~”
Shen Ting left a direct message: “It’s indeed me!”
"I'm talking about this. Is the group leader so powerful?"
"You even understand trace evidence?"
"And it seems that he is very proficient in it!"
"I told you, it must have been identified by the group leader.
ヾ(????)?~”
…
Shen Ting really didn’t take the appraisal seriously.
I am happy because the combination of physical evidence has shown specificity, which is helpful in solving the case.
But the exclamations of the group members did make Shen Ting happier than the praise of ordinary police officers.
