Chapter 429
It was the first time to perform skull restoration surgery. Jiang Yuan did it very meticulously. He changed the water in the cranium cooking pot twice, until the bones were boiled into sharp flesh.

The rest of the bones are not so particular. They are all boiled in a big pot, and the foam is floated halfway, and the rotten meat is removed by the way, and too much fat is poured off.

"Every time I cook this, it reminds me of cooking stewed soup in my hometown." Lao Ye stirred the steel pot with a thigh bone, his eyes full of nostalgia: "The stewed soup my grandma used to cook is a Absolutely, I have to cook a lot every Chinese New Year, I have to have chicken, beef and mutton, pack it for each family, and take it back.”

"That's a family tradition." Wang Zhong was still young, so he cooperated with Ye Fayi.

Forensic doctor Ye nodded heavily, and said: "Later, I became a forensic doctor, and this inheritance will be broken."

"why?"

"One year when I was cooking soup, I took out the meat and discarded it, just like this. It was not exactly the Chinese New Year, and many people died. I cooked the corpses in the work unit for a week, and I got used to it. Physician Ye squeaked, and said again: "The stewed soup in the pot was later disliked by the villagers, saying that it smelled like formalin, which was a waste. Our old Ye's family has passed down the stewed soup for 40 years, hey, It's a pity..."

Wang Zhong felt regretful and uncomfortable when he heard it: "Is it the marinated soup passed down from generation to generation in the family of forensic medicine?"

In fact, he really wanted to say that such a stewed soup is actually a waste if it is wasted.

Ye Fayi only regarded him as a simple pity, and sighed heavily, and said: "I want you to remind me, I will go home this year, so I will have to cook a pot of stewed soup..."

Jiang Yuan didn't wait for them to cook the other bones, he hugged the skull, sat aside, and began to measure the size little by little with a ruler to make records.

Looking back, this skull will have to be scanned again, but measuring the size yourself is the most basic work.

During the time of measuring the size, Jiang Yuan was also observing the skull.

The history of cranial reconstruction can be traced back a long time. It was first proposed in 1877 by the German anatomist Schaffhausen.

This year was the third year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, only two years since Zuo Zongtang carried his coffin into Xinjiang, and 3 years before the outbreak of World War I.

Shafhasen's theory is very simple and straightforward, because he found that the thickness of the soft tissue on the human face has certain rules. Therefore, as long as the thickness of the soft tissue on the head is known, the appearance of the skull owner can be inferred. .

Although it was a theory more than 100 years ago, in the next 100 years, the framework of cranial restoration has not changed much, only the technology has changed.

Of course, from a practical point of view, the evolution of technology only felt simple at that time. Looking at it three to fifty years later, it is basically black technology.

The earliest cranial restoration was very straightforward. First, the thickness of the head and face tissue was measured to obtain a usable average value, and then these values ​​were continuously expanded and improved.

There is a very important starting point here, the thickness of human soft tissue is relatively constant.To use a more straightforward description, a fat person only has a fat face, and the bridge of the nose, eye sockets, forehead, and ears usually do not accumulate fat.

In this way, the skull is ready-made, and the thickness of the soft tissue is checked according to the age, race, gender and other constraints of the skull owner, and then muscle glands and other tissues are considered... Finally, a little bit of superposition.

But whether it is the original Russian method, the subsequent American method, or the most commonly used British method, the results of skull reconstruction are all affected by the operator's aesthetics and technique.

This is also the most difficult part of cranioplasty.

Of course, another difficulty is caused by technological evolution.

With the development of modern technology, the previous method of using clay support is gradually replaced by computer technology.

It is equivalent to saying that the skull restoration surgery of LV1 requires technicians to be familiar with forensic anatomy, and at the same time master certain artistic aesthetics and even sculpture techniques. When it comes to LV2, it starts to require you to understand computers and mathematics...

Hexagonal fighters like this, no matter in the blind date market or in the forensic office, are pitifully rare.

Therefore, when Jiang Yuan's measurements became more and more detailed, Faji Ye began to feel something was wrong.

"What are you doing holding that head? It took so long." Ye Fayi asked.

Jiang Yuan replied truthfully: "I am going to do skull restoration."

Ye Forensic laughed: "I'm just kidding."

Jiang Yuan said: "No."

Jiang Yuan then continued to hold the skull to measure the size.

Forensic Ye soon realized that Jiang Yuan was not joking with him.

Jiang Yuan is so busy every day, even if it is a joke, he can only make two verbal jokes at most, how could he make a costly joke with a half-old middle-aged man.

Looking at Jiang Yuan's serious steps, Ye Fayi instinctively felt uncomfortable, as if he missed it when others were developing their brains.

Jiang Yuan measured the facial features almost, and then got up to check the boiled bones.

Forensic Ye finally came to his senses at this time, and asked in a low voice, "Team Jiang, when did you learn about skull restoration?"

"I also learned it recently." Jiang Yuan said.

Ye Fayi frowned: "This... is not easy to learn. Did you learn it directly?"

According to the understanding of forensic doctors, techniques such as skull restoration basically belong to when they are born, and they will;

As a veteran forensic doctor, Forensic Ye Ye has never met two people who really know it. Maybe some people know it, but they have never shown it in front of him.Lao Ye himself learned about it through training or meetings.

Jiang Yuan recalled all the difficulties on the way to find osmanthus, and said calmly: "If I have to say it, it's not easy to learn, and it's quite twists and turns."

When he said this, Ye Fayi believed a little bit, but his heart was scratched even more.

"Then when you do it later, can I have a look?" He didn't want to learn, but he was just curious.Of course, from the point of view of the lottery, Lao Ye never had the chance to experience skull restoration in his whole life. What if he also has this talent?Take a look, and don't lose a piece of meat.

In addition, he was just worried that Jiang Yuan would take care of himself and drive people out, or do it in private.

Jiang Yuan didn't even think about it. Forensic Ye wanted to see it, so he agreed, and then continued to look at the boiled bones.

"Looking at the ratio of feet to height, the probability of Shannan locals is relatively high... The wear on the knees is due to people who often climb mountains, not sports enthusiasts. Should they live on the mountains at home? Or often do climbing and downhill Work?" Jiang Yuan looked at the bones while asking Wang Zhong next to him to take notes.

Advanced forensic anthropology plays a role in skull restoration at any time.Like determining the race - the race in the country is relatively single, but there are also different ethnic minorities, or foreigners living here, maybe even a Uruguayan will die in the pool if they come.

In addition, people from different provinces have different facial features, such as the Yellow River Basin type, with yellowish skin, thicker eyebrows, and thicker lips.People in the Yangtze River Valley type have a lower average height than those in the Yellow River Valley, but they have fairer skin and more single eyelids.The Pearl River Valley type has a darker complexion, a more convex frontal bone, and thicker lips.

In addition, branches such as Kangba type, Annan type, and Northeast subtype all have their own characteristics.

The purpose of these classifications is to confirm the proportion of cartilage.

From this perspective, only the anthropological foundation of LV1 can really only be a foundation.At least LV2 forensic anthropology is required to do a decent job.

In addition, Jiang Yuan's footprint analysis and other skills can still play a role.

Jiang Yuan made a detailed analysis, and Wang Zhong took notes seriously.

Forensic Ye cooked the bones silently, and the fragrance filled the room.

……

The next day.

The funeral home's crows croaked.

Some of the red-billed birds landed on the branches, and some landed on the ground.While looking for food, there is almost no vigilance.

Hou Lejia came to the forensic anatomy room early.

Entering, I saw Jiang Yuan holding the skull, observing it carefully.

Hou Lejia had already received a call from Huang Qiangmin yesterday, and his ears were still hurting at the moment, and when he saw this scene, he said, "Forensic doctor Jiang, my good team Jiang, can't we use traditional methods to handle this case? "

"Do you mean that the direction of investigation will be changed?" Jiang Yuan had been notified by Huang Qiangmin long ago, and he raised his head unsurprisingly.

Hou Lejia looked more haggard than yesterday, and his eyes were a little dark, as if he had not slept well.

He hesitated for a while when asked by Jiang Yuan, and then whispered: "It's not the direction of investigation, I mean, can't we just look at the bones? Or, it's okay to change a backlog..."

"Brigade Hou." A sticky clip sound came from the side, it was Tang Jia who was sent early in the morning.

Hou Lejia was confused and looked over.

"Boss Hou, even if we change the backlog, our Huang Bureau's requirements will not be lowered." Tang Jia said cruel words in a cute voice.

Hou Lejia sighed heavily.

Jiang Yuan was unmoved.The funds of Ningtai County Bureau must not be able to afford CT machines, and the funds of Longli County must not be much, but this is not the beginning of the year.

"Forget it, I'll call someone over to install the machine first. It's still in the debugging and trial period. In the future, if you want it, we'll make the payment." Hou Lejia looked back at the bai sensen skull in Jiang Yuan's arms, Before he left, he seemed to remember it, and said, "By the way, the provincial department said that if you decide to do this case, they want to bring someone over to have a look."

"I have no objection." Jiang Yuan answered very happily, he has long been used to working under the gaze of people from all walks of life.

Hou Le's family walked away with heavy steps. The provincial department came, and he had to be entertained by Longli County.

In the end, after all, the grassroots bears everything.
