Chapter 113 Why Did She Come? 【First update】

2011 year 5 month 4 day 17: 02
City Council backyard.

With the sound of sudden brakes, two police cars stopped in front of the Technical Department.

Zhou Ning and the others jumped out of the car, Xiao Sun hugged a packing box, Da Zhao rushed out of the car, ran directly to the trash can and vomited, Xu Dayuan threw a bottle of mineral water to a criminal policeman, and the man went to see Da Zhao.

Da Zhao's face turned pale, and Zhou Ning supported him.

"Why are you still motion sick?"

Da Zhao waved his hand.

"It's not motion sickness. I just made up my mind. The more I think about it, the more upset my stomach is. You guys go up first. Dr. Lu and the others probably have already arrived, so I will go up slowly."

Zhou Ning nodded, smiled at the criminal policeman who was supporting Da Zhao, and then quickly walked up to the third floor. As soon as he reached the door of the forensic teaching and research office, he heard Dr. Lu's laughter.

"Dr. Lu, are you here?"

Seeing Zhou Ning and Xu Dayuan coming in, Dr. Lu stood up happily, grabbed their hands respectively, and shook them vigorously.

"Finally, you are expected to come here, but there is a case just now?"

Xu Dayuan was a little embarrassed. Although Zhou Ning took the lead in developing the software, it was a project invested by Qindao University. If something happened here, it was too much to call someone over.

"Reporting on the first day, I'll trouble you to come here. I'm really embarrassed to speak up, so I can only ask Zhou Xiaozhou to come forward!"

Dr. Lu waved his hand and smiled even more happily.

"That's not what I said, I was looking forward to your coming. As for the software, it is now in the experimental stage. We have provided us with such good experimental conditions. We are too late to be happy. How can we still dislike it?

Alright, let's go straight to the next step, don't be so polite and flattering each other, you are not good at it, and I don't think it is necessary, everyone feels tired and flustered, if you don't look for me when you come, I will be angry. "

Xu Dayuan raised his head and laughed, and patted Dr. Lu on the shoulder.

"Okay, listen to you, the skull has been found, now it depends on your methods!"

Zhou Ning just smiled and didn't get involved in the conversation between the two of them. This was a public-to-public communication, and it was inconvenient for him to participate. At this moment, the door of the teaching and research room was opened, and many people walked in with equipment. A familiar Zhou Ning was stunned by the figure.

How did she come?

"Teacher Xia?"

Xia Momo turned her head and saw Zhou Ning's signature smile on his lips, the two dimples were still so beautiful.

"Aren't you surprised to see me?"

Zhou Ning nodded, and looked at Dr. Lu in puzzlement, as if he wanted to find the answer from Dr. Lu.

"Surprise, but why are you with Dr. Lu? This."

Zhou Ning is a little out of his mind now, Dr. Lu came over, looked at Zhou Ning, then at Xia Momo.

"Do you know?"

"Well, I learned painting from Mr. Xia. The first time I did facial restoration for the deceased, I did it together with Mr. Xia. After that, I came up with the idea of ​​software development."

Dr. Lu was surprised.

"It turns out that Momo is the teacher Xia that Zhou Xiaozhou was talking about!"

Seeing that Zhou Ning was still puzzled, Xia Momo quickly explained:

"Don't be so surprised. I was originally a teacher at Qindao University, but I was seconded by the Education Bureau to be a substitute teacher for a year. I helped my pregnant cousin take care of the last batch of art students. Many people thought I was assigned there. , I didn't explain it either."

Zhou Ning suddenly realized, but he couldn't ask Dr. Lu any questions for a while. It seemed that all this was too coincidental, as if it had been arranged in advance.

"But, how did you follow into the software development team?"

Dr. Lu came over.

"I chose it. Although our software restored and synthesized the portrait before, the result is quite satisfactory. I talked to Momo's father, who was there at the time. After reading it, I talked about some of her opinions. I think it is very good. It is worthy of reference, so I made a softened version, and I want to show you today."

Zhou Ning suddenly realized that he also remembered at this time that Xia Momo's father is a teacher at Qindao University, so it is not surprising that he could participate. He looked at Xia Momo with some embarrassment, after all, his attitude just now was not good.

"Sorry, I'm a little surprised, welcome to join the team!"

Xia Momo smiled slightly.

"I wanted to surprise you, but I didn't want to scare you."

"It's a surprise!"

Da Zhao leaned over and stretched out his hand towards Xia Momo behind Zhou Ning.

"I'm Zhao Xinli. They all call me Da Zhao. I finally saw Mr. Xia in person today. Welcome!"

Xia Momo didn't hesitate, shook hands with Da Zhao, then greeted Xu Dayuan, and went directly to help assemble various equipment. Xu Dayuan watched Zhou Ning lift his chin towards Xia Momo.

"Come after me?"

Da Zhao almost laughed, Zhou Ning quickly shook his head.

"Xu Dafare"

Xu Dayuan nodded and waved his hands to the people in their team.

"Xiao Zeng stays, and the rest leave."

On the first day of reporting, Xu Dayuan tormented these people badly, but the military order had already been issued, no matter what he had to do to solve the case, there was no such thing as a running-in period at this time.

The skull box was placed on the table. Zhou Ning put on his gloves and took it out carefully. Da Zhao had sent the LED magnifying glass light to Zhou Ning's side.

Many places on the surface of the skull are pitch-black, and there are still gnawing tooth marks. There are deep canine teeth next to the incisors, which are the marks left by macaque gnawing.

As for the grease and other impurities left on the skull, these can be ignored for the time being. After all, it takes time to remove it, and thinking of the pressure cooker and the smell, Zhou Ning has always been very repulsive.

As for the boning method of small insects that foreigners like to use, Zhou Ning is even more difficult to accept. He hopes that his team can find an expert in entomology in the future, at least he can undertake such a job.

"Dr. Lu can scan, the head of the deceased is completely boned."

Dr. Lu's people gathered together, and a group of people headed by Xiao Qu kept scanning and taking pictures around the skull. Zhou Ning could tell that the scanning tools had also been improved within a month.

It's like a rotating arm, with a camera on each side. As the arm rotates above the skull, the photo shoot is over, and the current photo is no longer the number of fixed ones before, it seems to be a 360° stereoscopic scan.

Zhou Ning glanced at Xia Momo. For some reason, he always felt that the transformation was related to her. Dr. Lu smiled, raised his eyebrows and introduced to Zhou Ning:
"We have improved the way of taking pictures. Now it is not a fixed-angle photo, but a 360° surround scan, so that the wound and some specific shapes on the bone can be analyzed more accurately. Teacher Xia's suggestion."

"Not bad!"

Zhou Ning's answer was very simple, and Dr. Lu and the others didn't think anything was wrong. At this time, Xia Momo and Xiao Qu walked to the console. Following the data input, Xia Momo looked at Zhou Ning.

"Forensic Doctor Zhou, can you give some characteristics of the deceased?"

"The deceased was male, aged between 70-80 years old, 170-175 cm tall, 65-75 kg in weight, osteoporosis, severe degenerative changes in the spine, inconvenient movement of the lower limbs, and bone cancer.

The middle finger of the right hand is slightly bent outward, and the knuckles and wrist joints have hyperplasia, but the left hand is better. As for other features, they cannot be seen on the bones. "

Dr. Lu froze for a moment, and glanced at the skull.

"That is to say, the deceased is just a skeleton?"

Da Zhao bared his teeth and leaned over, waved his hands and explained.

"Inaccurate, only the skull is complete, and the rest was cut into more than 300 parts. Most of the bones were found, but there are still occasional fragments."

Xia Momo was not frightened, discussed with Xiao Qu, and began to input various data. After a while, four composite portraits appeared on the big screen. Zhou Ning was a little surprised to see the composite status after the revision.

how to say?

The portraits stitched together by the software before are fake at first glance, with fake skin, lines, and hair, but now the four photos presented on the big screen are just photos at a cold glance, and each of the four photos has some different.

Xia Momo smiled at Zhou Ning and explained:
"I see that the age range you gave is 70-80 years old, so I made a few more comparison pictures, 60-75 every five years. After all, some people change their ID cards earlier."

Zhou Ning nodded, and shifted his gaze from Xia Momo to Xiao Qu.

"Log in to the household registration system and try to search!"

Xiao Qu hurriedly operated, the photos in the search box kept flashing, Zhou Ning glanced at Da Zhao, and pointed to the watch on his wrist.

"It's been three hours since we went to Xinghua City for the inspection. Go to the Laboratory Department and see if there are any results."

Xiao Sun raised his hand and volunteered to say:
"I'll go. I'll send it for inspection. It's better for me to pick it up. Zhao Hen went to the inspection. I don't know who to look for. After all, it's easy to not know each other."
