Female Forensic Physician: Bone Collector

Chapter 8 The Bell
Zhang Yetong heard the bell on the door of the dissecting room ring behind him, and then the door was pushed open.
"Yanan, you are here!"

"Hmm." Wang Yanan snorted, she didn't come directly to Zhang Yetong's side, but walked to the only huge desk in the room, and put the file bag in her hand on it.Then he went to the door and put on his overalls,

"How? What's the result?"

Zhang Yetong moved her body to the other side, and the dissecting table covered by her was completely presented in front of Wang Yanan at this moment.

Wang Yanan took a deep breath, and on the dissecting table in front of him, there was a person's head upright.If it's just bones, it wouldn't be so surprising. This is a face that has been completely stripped of the skin, with weird muscles crisscrossing the face, the black and white eyes, and the terrifying and empty mouth. Zhang Zhang, as if death has been completely frozen at this moment.

"This is a female's head, very young, judging from the development of wisdom teeth, it should not be more than 19 years old." Zhang Yetong sighed, "Look at her protruding browbones and short jaw, there are obvious The characteristics of the Asian race in the south of the Five Ridges."

"This head is weird!" Wang Yanan stared at the dissecting table in front of him, "Has it also been boiled? The color is very different!"

"Yes, like those slices of meat, they have all been boiled at high temperature. The murderer has superb surgical skills. Ordinary people can't peel off the skin so cleanly. Including me!" Zhang Yetong pointed to the head The place on the cheek near the bridge of the nose, "Look carefully here, this is the place with the richest nervous system on the entire face, if you accidentally cut the knife, it will destroy the muscle tissue under the skin of the face, and even the smallest scratches will escape. But my eyes, but you can't see any traces now!"

"It seems that the skin on the face never existed!" Wang Yanan muttered.

"Yes!" Zhang Yetong walked around to the other end of the anatomy table, pointing to the bones brought back from the scene that had been neatly arranged according to the sequence of human skeletons, she said helplessly, "The pelvis of the deceased also confirmed what I just said about the deceased. Judging by her age, she is not more than 20 years old, very young, and has never given birth. According to the weight of the skeleton, she weighs no more than ninety catties, and is thin. From this, it can be concluded that the murderer is not only an expert in surgery, but also I am very familiar with human bones. Look, all the bones are here, except for the small finger bone at the beginning, which is estimated to be lost, and there are quite a few left. And from the surface of these bones, we can see It can be seen that the murderer did not use violent external force, such as a knife and axe, to separate the bones. The seams were clean and there was no damage at all. You can really describe him as 'paodingjieniu'!"

"Then, can you restore the portrait? I need to publish a revelation about finding the corpse." Wang Yanan turned his attention to Zhang Yetong, who put his hands in the pockets of his overalls with a serious expression on his face.

"No problem, the musculature of her face is still relatively complete. This will greatly help my restoration of the portrait and the original appearance of the deceased! When do you want it?"

"As soon as possible!" Wang Yanan said, frowning, "Is there any result on the cause of death?"

Zhang Yetong pursed his lips and pondered for a while, "At present, there is no trace of trauma on the skeleton, but since the muscle tissue of the corpse has been divided into many pieces and boiled in high-temperature water, I have no way to determine the damage to the soft tissue on the body surface. , there is no way to do poison detection. I have also done an X-ray scan of the head, and there is no scar inside. In the final analysis, I can only say that she has not been seriously violated by external force. I don’t know anything else, sorry, Yanan, I can only speak from the evidence in hand. I cannot infer."

Wang Yanan nodded, "Is there anything else I need to know?"

"There are two special clothes placed with the bones of the deceased. I have sent them to the trace inspection room together with the snakeskin bag outside."

"Okay, then give me the restoration picture of the portrait as soon as possible." Wang Yanan walked towards the door while talking. She hung the work clothes she had taken off and put it back on the door. The moment she opened the door, she stopped. , turned around and said, "The inspection report is on your desk!"

Zhang Yetong was stunned for a moment, then realized the meaning of Wang Yanan's words, she said calmly with a blank face,
"Thank you!"

Portrait restoration is not an easy job, not only must you be proficient in anthropology, but also have certain painting skills.

Zhang Yetong signaled his assistant, Pan Jian, to bring the special digital camera over, and took a few photos of the deceased's head from a specific angle. Since the deceased's face still had a certain amount of musculature attached, it was more work than the final imaging. much easier.After the photo was taken, the data was immediately entered into the computer and printed out quickly.Zhang Yetong reached out and took a special piece of paper to cover the head photo. According to the previous series of characteristics of the deceased, including age, weight and regional race, a basic image was quickly outlined.After double-scanning into the computer and checking the data with the original database, a few minutes later, the computer made a creaking sound, and a vivid head portrait of a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old was clearly displayed on the computer screen .

"Print it out and send it to the criminal police office to Captain Wang Yanan immediately!"

"I'll go!"

Zhang Yetong stood up, gave his seat to Pan Jian, and walked to the other side of the workbench alone, where the big yellow envelope left by Wang Yanan was lying quietly.

Zhang Yetong took a deep breath, picked up the envelope, hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, tore off the tape pasted on the envelope, and pulled out the inspection report inside.

The inspection report was printed on a thin A4 paper. Zhang Yetong felt that her hands were trembling uncontrollably. After 20 years, it seemed that she was only one step away from the truth. She could even be sure that, One day, I will be able to solve the mystery that ruined my family.However, Zhang Yetong felt a kind of fear that came with it. Subconsciously, she knew that she did not have the courage to face the truth.

"Zhang Fayi, are you okay?" Pan Jian's concerned voice rang in his ears.

Only then did Zhang Yetong come to her senses, her first reaction was to quickly stuff the inspection report into the pocket of her overalls, then waved her hand, regaining her usual composure, "I'm fine, send it quickly, my friend Waiting for it!"

Pan Jian hesitated for a moment, then nodded, turned and left the dissecting room.
