Chapter 76 73. Silver Hairpin, Buddha Bone Relics



"My lord, it was found here. The Chicken Claw King couldn't tell whether it was a chicken claw or a human hand, so he reported it to me."

Even with Gu Xuanyan's good self-cultivation, she couldn't suppress her anger at this moment. On one hand, there were four homicide cases involving human lives, and on the other hand, they couldn't even determine the nature of the cases. This was a joke!

"Master Yuan, you can't even tell the difference between a human hand and a chicken claw, and you're calling your husband over, right..."

Before Gu Xuanyan could ask, Zhang San interrupted, "If everyone can tell the difference between a human hand and a chicken claw, then what do we need to do?"

At this moment, Zhang San also saw the thing that only existed in words. After striding through the crowd, he came to the crime scene, snatched the "chicken claw" from Yuan Ergou's subordinate, and ignored the strange looks from the people around him. Zhang San just observed without distraction.

Unlike the bones found under the loquat tree before, this one is covered with soft tissue, but the degree of contracture is a bit too severe. If he hadn't smelled the fried smell, Zhang San would even suspect that this thing had been fried.

As far as he could remember, only frying could cause the fingers to contract to this extent.

As if it had been split in half by a knife, the unknown thing in Zhang San's hand now only had three fingers.

The cut surface of the bone was very smooth, and there was no hesitation when the knife was drawn. If it was not for someone who was a normal child holding the knife and treated killing as a job, he would definitely not have such courage.

Moreover, it is not difficult to see from the cut that the other party is a very powerful person. According to the reasoning of criminal investigation, Zhang San is more inclined to believe that the other party is an adult male. However, if this is the case, it would go against his previous assumption.

After finishing his speculation on the exterior, Zhang San turned his attention to the interior.

If it were in the Dharma-Ending Age, it would be very easy to distinguish whether the thing in front of you is a human hand or a chicken claw.

It only takes six hours to extract the surface dermis tissue and make a nucleic acid test report. Not to mention just testing whether the other person is a human, if you are lucky, you can even find out who he is.

Of course, if the case is urgent and time is limited, you can also use a scalpel to directly separate the dermal tissue and take out the complete finger bones inside for further observation.

In addition to the pelvis mentioned earlier, the phalanges are also relatively special bones in the human body. Their shorter bone bodies and larger joint surfaces allow the human hand to have greater flexibility.

Anyone who has studied Forensic Anthropology knows this, but compared to the previous nucleic acid sequencing, the latter has higher technical requirements for forensic scientists.

After all, separating the phalanges without damaging the soft tissue is a skill that only a master who has been in the industry for more than three years can achieve.

As for Zhang San...

[Transparent world——Open! ]

The bone body is consistent and the joint surface is fine. There is no doubt that this is a typical human finger bone. But what happened that caused it to become dehydrated and contracted into its current state?

There are no signs of frying and the skin tissue is well preserved. Judging from the current situation, it seems to have nothing to do with the bones under the loquat tree.

It was unknown what he saw, but Zhang San, who had been very calm, suddenly reached out and shouted behind him: "Knife!"

"Sizzle~"

Yuan Ergou was born into a military family and was a typical representative of action. Judging from Zhang San's previous behavior, he also knew that this parachuted-in superior was probably no fool.

So even though he didn't know what Zhang San wanted to do, after hearing the other party's order, Yuan Ergou subconsciously drew out the Qiu Shui Yanling Knife from his waist, made a knife flower with one hand, and handed the handle to Zhang San.

This was a set of smooth movements, which was not only highly professional, but also well reflected his value. It was a pity that apart from the rolling eyes, Yuan Ergou did not get any support.

After undergoing an unknown dehydration method, the palm had already shrunk very small. Even with a delicate scalpel, Zhang San might not be able to achieve perfect separation.

In this situation, if you suddenly hand him a goose-feather knife for chopping people, this behavior is very...

Fortunately, although Yuan Ergou's IQ dropped, Gu Xuanyan did not act stupidly. Especially after spending a few days together, Gu Xuanyan could barely keep up with Zhang San's thinking.

Due to the shortage of manpower, they did not prepare any tools and equipment for the coroner, but since Zhang San was already urging her, she did not have time to think too much.

Not thinking about what Zhang San was going to do next, Gu Xuanyan quickly took off the silver hairpin on her head and handed it to him.

With Gu Xuanyan's wealth, apart from jewelry that is restricted by specifications, she doesn't care about gold hairpins at all. Under such circumstances, she still wears this old-fashioned silver hairpin, obviously not just because of its value.

With the blessing of the magical weapon refining skill "Divine Machine Hundred Refinings", Zhang San discovered something strange about the silver hairpin as soon as he got it.

After infusing a little innate Qi into it, a sharp wind blade gushed out from the bottom of the silver hairpin. Judging from the buzzing sound made by the air, it was even as good as Zhang San's thunder blade.

Similar to the "control of objects", through special means of practicing Qi, making specific items into props to help one practice Qi is called "transformation". Going one step further, they can shed their mortal form and be called magic tools.

The silver hairpin in Gu Xuanyan's hair is a lowest-level magic weapon. Apart from self-defense, its functionality is very simple.

But even so, this silver hairpin is also an extraordinary item, and its value alone cannot be measured by gold.

Because of the long time, after a person became Lu Jin's apprentice, in addition to his skills, the greater gain was actually the understanding of the world of extraordinary people.

If it was a day ago, even if Zhang San had doubts, he would not be able to name the silver hairpin, but now, he can use it skillfully.

"Do we have to separate them to confirm it?"

Seemingly feeling a little sorry for her silver hairpin, Gu Xuanyan at the side couldn't help but ask.

"No need, Lao Yuan, we can open a case for investigation. There is no doubt that this is the manpower, but what makes me curious is, what is this thing?"

The silver hairpin turned into a blade, fluttering back and forth like a butterfly flying through flowers, and with the help of the auxiliary positioning of the transparent world, he separated the finger bones perfectly in just a cup of tea.

What is surprising is that this finger bone is different from the pale white color of ordinary human bones. From the moment it appeared in the world, it has been wrapped in a white fluorescent light. If you listen carefully, you can even hear bursts of Sanskrit sounds from it.

"Is this... a relic?"

After several confirmations, Gu Xuanyan finally revealed the origin of this finger bone.
