After breakfast, Chu Jingqiu sent her grandparents to the village ox cart, and she followed beside them on her bicycle.
When she arrived in town, she queued up to buy a train ticket. After seeing her grandparents off on the train, she went to work at the commune.
The posters and slogans on the last street in town were almost finished. She had worked intensively all morning, and only the last wall in front of the town police station remained.
Just when the edge was almost finished and I was instructing my assistant how to color it, I saw Gu Weimin walking towards me in a hurry.
"Director Gu, I'm busy with a case!" Chu Jingqiu greeted him politely.
Gu Weimin didn't know what he was thinking, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't come back to his senses until Chu Jingqiu greeted him.
"It's Chu Zhiqing, you are painting on the mural! There is indeed a case, I'm leaving first!" Gu Weimin left in a hurry.
After walking a short distance, he seemed to have thought of something and returned.
Walking up to Chu Jingqiu, he anxiously asked, "Chu Zhiqing, I want to ask you, can you use a person's skull to restore a person's appearance before death?"
"Of course." Chu Jingqiu said confidently.
Gu Weimin's worry turned into joy in an instant. "Don't worry about the slogans for now. Come with me inside and we'll start drawing the portrait right away."
Chu Jingqiu explained the work to his assistant, and then followed Gu Weimin into the police station.
Gu Weimin pushed out a sidecar tricycle and asked Chu Jingqiu to get on it. "Come on, let's talk while we walk."
A few days ago, the town middle school was expanding its school building and a skeleton was dug up while digging the foundation.
The forensic doctor of the county public security bureau also examined the skeleton. At present, all they know is that this is a female, about 30-35 years old.
In the past few days we have been investigating missing persons in the town, hoping to find the source of the body. After several days of investigation, we still have no clue.
Our superiors asked us to solve the case on time, and we are under a lot of pressure. We don’t even know who the body belongs to, so how can we solve the case? At present, we can only check the missing persons in recent years.
Gu Weimin brought Chu Jingqiu to the county public security bureau. Gu Weimin explained the situation to the director. When the director saw that Director Gu brought such a young girl, he was a little skeptical, but there was no other way, so he might as well let the girl give it a try.
Gu Weimin brought Chu Jingqiu to the Criminal Investigation Department. The person in charge of this case was Section Chief Zhou Yiming. Gu Weimin introduced Chu Jingqiu to him.
Section Chief Zhou found it a little unbelievable. He had never heard of being able to restore a person's appearance through the skull. It was simply a fantasy.
"You can reconstruct a person's appearance from a skull, but how do you know if they are fat or thin, or if their eyes are big or small, or other facial features?"
Zhou Ming asked Chu Jingqiu doubtfully, "Is this restored image the same as the real person?"
"The thickness of facial soft tissue at different positions on the human skull is roughly the same. As long as we have the data on the thickness of facial soft tissue at different positions on the skull, we can restore a person's appearance through a skull." Chu Jingqiu replied.
"This skull reconstruction is to help you narrow the scope of investigation. It is not an exact copy, nor a particularly detailed imitation. It is just a process of inference.
As for the facial features, the theory of "three parts and five eyes" in art is used.
I just need to draw nine lines on it: the eyebrow arch line, the cleft mouth line and the jaw line, the center line, the inner line, the outer eye line, the nose wing line, the nose bottom line, the hairline and other main feature lines.
The position, length, width and size of the facial features can be roughly determined, and the basic features of the face are also determined."
Chu Jingqiu's words were too professional and Zhou Ming was completely confused. With no other choice, he decided to let Chu Jingqiu give it a try.
He ordered the medical examiner to retrieve the woman's skull. "Comrade Xiao Chu, how long will it take you to reconstruct this skull? What materials will be needed?"
"It will probably take about ten days! Please help me prepare some clay, plaster powder, toothpicks..." Chu Jingqiu replied.
Section Chief Zhou found an office specifically for Chu Jingqiu to work in, arranged a single dormitory for her, and provided her with canteen meal tickets for half a month.
Chu Jingqiu first asked the bureau to help prepare the materials. She would go home today to pack some clothes and toiletries, and would come back tomorrow to officially restore the skull.
Gu Weimin still rode his sidecar motorcycle and brought Chu Jingqiu back to the town. He asked Chu Jingqiu to come directly to the police station tomorrow and he would be responsible for sending Chu Jingqiu to the county public security bureau.
Chu Jingqiu would be staying at the county public security bureau for a few days, so she had to prepare quilts, some daily necessities, and some food for the people in the cowshed today.
After she returned to the educated youth point, she slipped into the space and took out two quilts weighing about ten pounds and two mattresses from the store in the space that specialized in selling period props.
She specifically picked out two quilt covers that looked very old and had many patches on them and put them on the quilt.
She then took out a washbasin, a kettle, and an enamel cup. She had also specially treated these items with chemicals and scraping to make them look like they had traces of rust and wear.
I also found out toothpaste, toothbrush, towels and other toiletries.
I also gave them some cornmeal, millet, and poured some rapeseed oil into a small jar.
He also found a few slightly thicker padded jackets, fleece trousers, and patched trousers for the two of them.
She took out a few small bags, packed the things into four small bags, and sent them to them in the evening.
She was also worried that Pingping would be in danger after she was away for a few days, so she asked Jiang Jiang if he could install a portable surveillance system for Pingping.
Jiang Jiang told her that there was only one kind of extremely tiny disposable capsule in the space that Zhang Pingping could drink.
After drinking it, the small capsule will automatically adhere to the stomach wall and emit sound and positioning signals through the capsule.
However, no images can be seen. The battery in this capsule can only last for one month, and the substance can only be excreted by drinking a special potion.
After dinner in the evening, several girls came to Chu Jingqiu's room to study.
Chu Jingqiu told the girls about delivering gifts to the people in the cowshed tonight, and they all expressed their support.
Chu Jingqiu took out a few washed pears and poured everyone a cup of green tea. She secretly put a capsule in Zhang Pingping's cup.
Everyone drank tea while studying high school textbooks. Lin Zishan did not finish high school, so sometimes when she didn't understand something, she would ask other people.
After studying for about two hours, they went to the yard to practice self-defense for a while.
When they felt the time was about right, a few people quietly walked towards the cowshed with small bags.
A few people came to the cowshed and found that the people in the cowshed were also resting.
Chu Jingqiu climbed over the wall and asked a few people to wait outside while she carried all the bags over.
