Female Forensic Physician: Bone Collector

Chapter 40 The Old Man
While waiting for Professor Ding to come in the living room, Wang Yanan took this opportunity to introduce the old man to Zhao Yun.

"Professor Ding was the head of the Biology Department of Tianchang University before retiring. His family has been a taxidermist for generations. His ancestors even made peacock specimens for the then Empress Dowager Cixi in the Qing Palace. In terms of seniority He said, in this business, Professor Ding has the highest seniority. Since we are looking for someone who can make specimens, we must ask him!"

Zhao Yun nodded, and just about to speak, an old man's loud voice came from behind him, "Is he from the Public Security Bureau?"

Wang Yanan and Zhao Yun quickly stood up. Although the old man in front of him had all white hair, he was in good spirits, his face was rosy, and he was full of smiles.

"Sit down, sit down, don't be too polite, just treat it as your own home. After retirement, there will be no one at home!" The old man smiled and sat down on the sofa.

Because she had explained her purpose on the phone before she came, so after some pleasantries, Wang Yanan went straight to the topic. She took out the photo of the black rivet fragment found on the shoulder muscle of the deceased and handed it to Professor Ding, and respectfully He said respectfully, "Professor Ding, please help us identify it!"

Professor Ding picked up a pair of glasses from the coffee table, put them on, looked carefully for a long time, and his expression became serious, "In our taxidermy industry, due to the different teachers, the rivets used are also different. And the rivet is the most important tool we use to fix the specimen, can you show me the composition analysis table again?"

Wang Yanan quickly found the computer fax copy and handed it to him.

With the passage of time, Professor Ding's eyebrows gradually formed into a figure eight. He finally put down the copy in his hand and sighed, "This is exactly the same as our Ding family's special ingredient configuration table, but there are still some things missing. A kind of sulfuric anhydride, the required content is not much, we use it to dissolve the organic matter on the surface of the original specimen, and then use rivets to fix it. You must know that the specimen making process is becoming less and less learned now, even if There are only two people in our Ding family who know this ingredient list, one is me, I haven’t made specimens for a long time, and the other is my nephew, he lives in the east of the city, and this is his address.” Said With that, the old man hastily wrote down an address and name on a sticky note, and handed it to Wang Yanan.

Wang Yanan noticed that there was a photo on the piano behind the old man, which was a group photo of two people. In the photo, there was a younger middle-aged man standing beside Professor Ding. If it weren’t for the hair, eyebrows and skin on the middle-aged man If they were all surprisingly white, Wang Yanan's eyes would not stay on this photo.

The old man noticed Wang Yanan's gaze, "This is my nephew, he has this disease since he was a child, it is inherited!"

Wang Yanan nodded awkwardly.continue to ask,
"So what does he do now?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard from him for more than a year! He is obsessed with this industry, and as you know, taxidermists are getting less and less food now, so before he broke contact, he had no stable Work!" The old man's mood was much lower than when he first met, and he asked instead, "Little comrade, can you tell me what happened?"

Wang Yanan hesitated for a while, then replied, "It's okay, I just have some technical questions. Thank you, Professor Ding, then we will take our leave today! I will visit you at another day!"

After bidding farewell to Professor Ding, Zhao Yun and Wang Yanan drove back to the Public Security Bureau with the evidence in order to confirm the identity of the No. [-] corpse as soon as possible.

As soon as he entered the office, before he had time to catch his breath, Wang Yanan called Zhang Yetong, "Xiaotong, are you still in the anatomy room?"

"Correct."

"You immediately take a sample of the corpse and do a sulfuric anhydride test, especially the incision site. As long as the corpse contains this chemical component, then the identity of the murderer can be confirmed! Sulfuric anhydride is a special chemical used by taxidermists."

"I'll do it right away, and I'll let you know as soon as I have news!"

At this time, at the other end of the city, a courier in the express uniform was hurriedly getting out of the elevator and came to the door of the furthest house. This was his first order of the day, in order to get off work early , and was afraid that the customer would not be at home, so the courier woke up early.

Not long after ringing the doorbell, the sound of hurriedly approaching footsteps was heard inside the door, and then the door opened, and an old woman with all white hair appeared in front of the courier.

"Excuse me, is there a person named Zhang Yetong living here?" In order to make sure that the address and name are correct, the courier looked down at his delivery records responsibly.

The old woman nodded and smiled kindly, "That's my daughter, what's the matter? She's busy with work and isn't at home now."

"That's right, then please sign for me. I have a copy of her express delivery here, which is from the United States!" With that said, the courier handed over the delivery record book and pen, and instructed the old man to sign, and then He took out an express delivery from his satchel and handed it to the old man.

"From the United States?" The old woman frowned and thought for a long time, looking at the crooked handwriting on the surface of the envelope, she didn't recognize any of them, she couldn't help but raised her head and asked, "Young man, are you right? Our family doesn't know foreigners at all. what!"

The courier forced a smile, "Old lady, the name of the address is correct, have you seen that—the recipient column says ZHANG TONG, so don't worry, ask your daughter when she comes back That's it!"

Seeing the old man half-believing and finally closing the door, the courier heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the elevator entrance, muttering.

Soon this strange express mail from across the ocean will be completely forgotten by the courier.After all, there are hundreds of couriers that pass through his hands every day, and he is not surprised that the recipient does not know the sender's affairs. It is normal for the old man to have a poor memory. Those who are afraid of trouble are not willing to tell the old people at home one by one about their circle of friends and circle of friends. This is called the 'generation gap'.Thinking of this, an 'understandable' smile appeared on the face of the young courier who walked out of the building.
