Back in the mansion, Qin Lin specially called several masters from Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali, Hong Yangshan and Beizhen Fusi to observe the entire cranial restoration process, as for how much each person can comprehend, it depends on their own creation.

First of all, Qin Lin recalled for a while and sorted out the previous process of cranial restoration.

Look at the skull, there is no gum fixation, some of the teeth have been loosened and fallen out, glue them all back to the gums with fish glue, so the skull has a neat and beautiful tooth again.

It's easy to say that it's hard to do, several Beizhen Fusi masters looked at each other, and there was a lot of respect in their eyes, you must know that people have twenty-eight to thirty-two teeth (four wisdom teeth are not all ingrown), divided into left and right, up and down, so quickly, accurately, and without thinking to find the right position for them, even a veteran who has been working for ten years may not be able to do it.

Then Qin Lin found a few wooden chopsticks, compared them with the best ruler, drew a good scale on the chopsticks with a pencil, and cut the chopsticks into small wooden stakes one by one.

These small wooden stakes are of different lengths, Qin Lin used fish glue to glue them to specific positions in the skull, some on the cheeks, some behind the ears, and soon dozens of long and short sticks were glued to the surface of the skull, which looked like a hedgehog, which was extremely weird.

Hong Yangshan felt strange and couldn't help asking, "Chief Qin wants to restore the appearance of the deceased before his death, what are you doing with so many sticks?" ”

Qin Lin was about to answer, but when he saw Lu Yuanzhi thoughtful, he pointed at him: "Fatty, if you have any ideas, just say it." ”

Yes? Lu Fatzi came back to his senses after being named, and scratched his scalp embarrassedly: "Brother Qin, I found that the sticky sticks are longer in the places where you have more flesh on your head, such as your face and chin, and the sticky sticks are shorter in the places with less meat, such as your forehead and temples." ”

Qin Lin looked at Lu Fatzi, and secretly laughed at the son of the family who killed pigs, and he really had anatomical talent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as Lu Yuanzhi said, the muscles and skin of the human head are thin in some places and thick in some places, so the official will use sticks of different lengths to indicate the thickness of the skin and flesh there, and then use clay to shape it, and the soil layer will be flush with these sticks, so that the appearance of the deceased can be restored more accurately."

Qin Lin pointed to the skull full of short wooden sticks and explained, and everyone immediately understood.

Niu Dali looked at Lu Yuanzhi and said: "No wonder the fat man thought first, his fleshy head is too obvious!" ”

It's not, it's just a thin person, like Lu Yuanzhi's number, the flesh of the cheeks is two inches thicker than the forehead, which is simply an excellent example.

Lu Yuanzhi drew inferences, blinked his eyes again, and asked: "However, people are fat and thin, old and young, how can you guarantee that you can be close to the appearance of the deceased after restoration?" For example, my bones will not change, but if I lose fifty pounds of fat, I am afraid that my appearance will change a lot! ”

Hong Yangshan and several colleagues from Beizhen Fusi all glanced at Lu Yuanzhi, and said in their hearts, you just listen to what Shangguan says, why do you have to be so serious? Although Chief Qin has a good relationship with you...... Qin Lin looked at it in his eyes and understood what these people were thinking, but instead deliberately gave Lu Yuanzhi a thumbs up: "Good question!" It is to be diligent and inquisitive, to learn the true skills of the official, and to be able to serve the official in the future, if you are confused and always do not know why, what use does the official want you to do? ”

Hong Yangshan and the others turned red, and quickly shook their spirits and listened more and more carefully.

"Being too fat and too thin will be manifested in the bones," Qin Lin pointed to the corpse's thigh joints: "If you are very fat in front of you, and your weight is very large, the burden on your joints will be heavy, and there will be a series of lesions. ”

Indeed it is! Lu Yuanzhi nodded.

Qin Lin said with a smile: "When you lose weight, it won't be like this, of course, the joints of the corpse are not overburdened, which proves that she was not obese during her lifetime." In addition, due to malnutrition and emaciation, there will be osteoporosis, you see this skeleton does not have it. ”

As he spoke, Qin Lin picked up the two thigh bones and knocked them, the voice was very magnetic, the bones were strong and healthy, and there was no osteoporosis, proving that the deceased would not be too thin and weak before his death.

Of course, the positions marked by Qin Lin with wooden sticks are all anatomical feature points, and the thickness of its skin and flesh is taken from the average value of Chinese female surnames, as long as the extreme cases of too fat and too thin are excluded, anyway, the results obtained by cranial reconstruction are also about eighty percent, it doesn't matter if the deceased was a little fat or thin before his death, even if a person grows fat from ninety pounds to one hundred and ten pounds, it will not be so that even his parents can't recognize him.

Seeing that someone was observing and memorizing the length of the wooden stick, Qin Lin smiled: "This official never hides his secrets, you don't need to record it now, the average thickness of the skin and flesh of the Han male and female surnames on the cranial surface, I will send you a table later." ”

Several Beizhen Fusi masters blushed when they heard this, and secretly praised this Qin chief for really having the style of a countryman, but they didn't know that Qin Lin couldn't wait to quickly teach his skills to his subordinates, and if he encountered a similar case in the future, he would be able to be lazy in the open.

Qin Lin said in his mouth, his hands did not stop, and he picked up the clay and pasted it on the skull.

These positions of the Tianling cover are a thin layer of skin, the nose should protrude, and the face of the young woman should be full and plump...... According to the thickness marked with a wooden stick in front of him, Qin Lin carefully pasted the clay of different thicknesses.

I saw his hands flying up and down, as if with some kind of inexplicable magic, rubbing east and west, under the surprised gaze of everyone, the original hideous and terrible skull was wrapped in clay, and gradually appeared in the shape of eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and facial features, with a slight outline of a person, and it could be seen that it was a young woman.

People let out suppressed whispers in their throats, not daring to raise their voices, lest they disrupt Qin Lin's train of thought.

Because he had previously checked the tooth wear and epiphysis, and determined that the deceased was a young woman about eighteen years old, Qin Lin explained while delicately decorating the statue with a knife and fingers: "The young woman's skin is smooth and tight, there are no eye bags, and there will be no wrinkles on the forehead and corners of the eyes. By the way, a woman of this age should like to laugh, I will make a beautiful smile for her, and let the corners of her mouth turn up slightly......"

The clay statue is getting closer and closer to the real person, Qin Lin used glass beads in the eye sockets to serve as eyes, glued eyebrows to the statue, and put a wig bought from a mustache shop outside on it, so the statue has a thick hair.

Finally, the details are retouched, and the whole work of cranial restoration is completed.

I saw that the portrait of the clay was vivid, and the young girl had a pretty appearance, a smooth and full goose egg face, a round forehead, and a smiling expression, she was really a beautiful woman who was one in a hundred.

Whether it is Hong Yangshan, Lu Yuanzhi, or those masters of Beizhen Fusi, they are all amazed, if they didn't see it with their own eyes, who would believe that this vivid and lively statue was actually covered with a skull of Bai Sensen under the surface clay?

Only Qin Lin's wonderful technique can make a bare skeleton "grow" muscles, skin, hair, and even a smile at the corners of her lips, as if she was brought back to life, reproducing her appearance before her death!

Hong Yangshan exhaled for a long time, and praised sincerely: "Legend has it that the famous doctor of ancient times can live the dead, flesh and bones, the lower officials can't believe it, now I have seen the method of Chief Qin, so that the dry bones can reappear before death, it is really a thaumaturgy to distinguish yin and yang, judge death and life!" ”

"Okay, although this official deserves these words, I will still be a little embarrassed if you say this," Qin Lin smiled and wiped his hands covered with clay with a cloth.

There are several pairs of old dry bones in the Fusi prison in Beizhen, and there is a secret cemetery where the big thieves and criminals killed over the years are buried. In fact, the technology of cranial restoration does not involve many forensic science, Qin Lin gave a data table of the thickness of the skin and flesh at each position of the cranial face, which is equivalent to having a fixed template, and everyone will naturally practice makes perfect.

Qin Lin picked up the pencil again, drew a sketch portrait of the portrait with a few brushstrokes, handed it to Hong Yangshan, asked him to make a few copies, according to the map, and checked what the identity of this woman was.

Having made up his mind to put a long line to catch a big fish, the initiative has to be in his own hands, Qin Lin finished the cranial restoration, and was not in a hurry to find Liu Sandao, but sat at home and read a book, waiting for him to come to the door, and when the interest came, he kicked the shuttlecock with Asha for a while, and took the big yellow dog to sneak around the garden twice.

……… When Qin Lin was walking his dog in the garden, Xu Xinyi took Zhu Yaoyuan out of the palace and returned home in a sedan chair.

"Haha, let's go in quietly, find an opportunity to suddenly jump out and scare your brother-in-law!" Xu Xinyi pouted and smiled evilly, and took Zhu Yaoyao's hand.

"In this way, my brother-in-law will be angry......" Zhu Yaoyuan retorted softly, but she was still pulled inside by her cousin.

They walked from the hall to the third courtyard, along the way Xu Xinyi did not allow the maid to report, seeing that the main hall of the third courtyard was closed, Xu Xinyi laughed: "Qin Lin has been sneaky these days, I don't know what he is doing?" Let's go in and have a look. ”

"No, not very well," Zhu Yaoyuan expressed a different opinion, but as always, she was not accepted by her cousin, so she went with the flow.

Xu Xinyi pushed open the door, and suddenly screamed, like stepping on a mouse, and jumped up three feet high: "Everyone is everyone, everyone is headed!" ”

Zhu Yaoyuan was not as surprised as her, she had already seen that it was a clay statue, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "My cousin also brags that she is bold, but in fact, it may not be, you see that it is obviously a statue made of clay......"

Xu Xinyi looked closely, reached out and stroked his undulating chest, "I'm scared to death, this guy Qin Lin is really getting more and more narrow, why are you pinching a statue, why are you putting it here?" ”

Zhu Yaoyuan didn't answer, looked at the statue fixedly, and suddenly walked over and stroked its hair, tears fell: "Osmanthus, it's Sister Osmanthus!" Who made the image for you? Could it be that Lord Yama blessed the good people and let you back to life? ”
