Shenyang, China Criminal Police Academy, in Professor Zhao Chengwen's studio, after several days of intense reconstruction, the deceased's face has begun to appear. Looking at the human head on the workbench that has been restored by Professor Zhao's skillful hands, even Lin Shanshan, who has always been calm, can't help but be a little excited, she has been in contact with Yang Zi for the past few days, knowing that the case has reached an impasse, and the only hope is pinned on her, as long as she gets the appearance of the deceased, she can release it to the society through the media. However, Professor Zhao is too busy, and she has to take classes and graduate students, and there has been a steady stream of calls and messages from all over the country asking for help and advice. In fact, Professor Zhao spent almost a little time in the studio doing reconstruction work, but facial reconstruction is not a simple matter, nor can it be completed in three clicks or two clicks. She saw with her own eyes that Professor Zhao had done a lot of preparatory work such as measuring, calculus, and drawing the skull, and then obtained detailed and detailed data on the height, width, and facial features, and then began to use materials to restore the human head and reconstruct the face.

Restoring one's face is a very complex process, and every step must be taken with great care, and the slightest sloppiness can result in a very different result from what the deceased really looked like. I saw that Professor Zhao first used a rubber mold to make a mold of a skull that needed to be restored, and then injected the plaster into the mold, and after the plaster solidified, a plaster skull was carved out that was exactly the same as the skull. Later, according to the outline of the skull, Professor Zhao used clay strips to connect the rubber nails to form small lattices. After doing this, he fills each small cell with a special filler similar to plasticine, and then fills the filler in each cell with the same proportions as an artist is sculpting, carefully and patiently smoothing it out according to the proportions. In this way, the skin and muscular tissue on the human head has been restored, and the remaining process is to attach the eyeball in the appropriate place, make the eyelid at the same time, and then restore the nose and lips. When all these steps were done, he put a black wig on the skull. Lin Shanshan watched, under Professor Zhao's hard work, with his last step, putting the wig on the skull, as if by magic magic, the delicate face of a Chinese woman appeared in front of her eyes.

Lin Shanshan could no longer restrain the excitement in her heart, she held Professor Zhao's hand tightly, in addition to thanking him, she also boldly made a request to Professor Zhao, that is, when the work in hand is over, she will apply to the leaders of the S City Public Security Bureau, and then apply for the master's degree under Professor Zhao's name. Through the contact in the past few days, Professor Zhao also likes this woman who is smart and studious, and has a high understanding of forensic science, and he is very happy that Lin Shanshan has such a deep study spirit in criminal physiognomy, so he readily agreed, and also introduced her to several academic books that he felt would be helpful to Lin Shanshan's future work. After saying goodbye to Professor Zhao, Lin Shanshan took the restored skull without delay at all, and took the nearest flight and flew back to S City.

After returning to the bureau, Yang Zi and Xiaopang all crowded into Lin Shanshan's office, looking at the skull that had been skillfully restored by Professor Zhao. Just imagine, they had no skin and muscles, let alone facial features, just a bare skull with a few loose hairs, but at this time, it had been restored to look like a real human head, watching them on the workbench, waiting for them to vindicate her grievances. Although the reconstruction of the face cannot be exactly the same as the appearance of the deceased before his death, it is almost completely consistent with the appearance of the deceased before his death, and the height and undulation of the face, and it can even be said that the head presented in front of them, as long as it is a person who knows the deceased, more than 90% of the people will say that this is the deceased. Therefore, what needs to be done now is to photograph the restored human skull with a face, and hand it over to the media for release, so as to solicit the identity of the deceased from the society, in order to further solve the mystery of the deceased's death.

These jobs were quickly rushed by Chubby and Crow, Yang Zi looked at Lin Shanshan's slightly emaciated face because of the fatigue of the boat and car in the past few days, coupled with being too nervous about the results, resulting in a lack of food and sleep, and a feeling of pity suddenly rose, he wanted to ask her a few words with concern, who knew that the words came out but still in a work-like tone: "What have you learned in Shenyang?" ”

As soon as Lin Shanshan mentioned her trip to Shenyang, she thought of many of the skills she had learned from Professor Zhao that could be used in her future work. When she finally saw that the skull had been successfully restored, she became excited again and told Yang Zi with a longing face, at that moment, she made up her mind to apply to the leaders of the bureau to apply for on-the-job graduate studies, learn more theories and combine them with practice, and bring her future work to a new level.

Looking at Lin Shanshan's eyebrows, Yang Zi didn't know why he couldn't say a word anymore, he suddenly remembered that when he first met Lin Shanshan, she had been engaged in forensic work in the police for three or four years, and at that time she had only graduated from the police academy, and she didn't understand many things, thanks to Lin Shanshan, she taught herself too much. I have always regarded her as a respectable senior teacher in my heart, and I feel sorry for and love her as much as my sister. But why was it that the moment I saw her just now, but only a few days apart, I was so happy and excited, as if I had found a lost treasure. At this time, hearing her excitedly talk about going to Shenyang, a city thousands of miles away to study, a bitter taste faintly permeated the bottom of my heart. I don't know when Yang Zi has been accustomed to solving all cases with Lin Shanshan, from the scene to the autopsy, from finding clues to finally bringing the murderer to justice. He suddenly didn't dare to imagine how he would feel if Lin Shanshan really applied to study and leave here. But looking at Lin Shanshan who was really standing in front of him, he felt proud and proud of her again, Lin Shanshan in front of him was such a self-reliant and dedicated woman, she used her superb professional knowledge to solve the mystery of how many deaths, maybe her heart only belongs to the world that is higher than the sky and wider than the sea, maybe the vague thought in her heart is just that she can't help but be conquered and infected by her personality charm. Thinking of this, the corners of Yang Zi's mouth showed a smile, he sincerely felt that the only way to treat a person like Lin Shanshan was to help her spread her wings and fly high, and she would definitely achieve greater achievements and achievements than today in time.

At this time, Lin Shanshan had stopped talking for a long time, she looked at Yang Zi strangely, his gaze was on her face, but it seemed to be hollow through herself, landing somewhere behind her. After waiting for a while, Lin Shanshan felt tired and hungry, so she gently shook her hand in front of Yang Zi and called him a few times: "Hey~~, hey~~~!" What are you thinking, so distracted? ”

"Huh? Oooh, didn't think much of it. Yang Zi came back to his senses abruptly and said a little sneeringly.

"What's wrong with you today? How does it feel weird? Lin Shanshan asked casually as she began to clean up the things on the table.

Yang Zi didn't know why Ni Xiaomei suddenly flashed in his mind about Ni Xiaomei coming to him, and almost told Lin Shanshan about it, but he stopped when the words came to his lips, and just said lightly: "It's nothing, I've been waiting for your news for the past two days, and I have no clue about the case, and I can't let go of it in my heart." ”

Lin Shanshan couldn't help but comfort Yang Zilai: "Hehe, didn't I come back, and I also brought a restored appearance, as long as someone comes to identify the body, there will be clues if you know the identity of the deceased." ”

As soon as the case was mentioned, the words of the two workaholics increased, Yang Zi simply pulled a chair and sat opposite Lin Shanshan's table, Lin Shanshan also forgot that he was tired and hungry, and the two of them began to discuss the case of bones found in the septic tank with their heads on their heads. In fact, after years of tacit cooperation, most of their perceptions of this case are the same, but in the end, there is still a difference in the opinions of the two people, and their differences are mainly about the deceased's death. According to Lin Shanshan's examination of the bones and what was found at the scene, she was more inclined to be sexually abused to death, otherwise how to explain those professional tying methods and the knots at the end. However, Yang Zi felt that this case was not as simple as it seemed, and he felt that although when the body was found, the skin and other tissues on the surface of the human body had been liquefied, and no direct evidence could be obtained, but he tried to put himself in the role of this pervert to analyze. First of all, when the bones are found, they are still tightly bound, and if there is a sudden death of the abused person in an abuse case for the purpose of obtaining pleasure, no matter who it is, they will panic and will definitely try to untie the knot at the first time, so as to rescue the abused person; Secondly, the legs of the corpse are tied together, which means that the lower parts of the deceased cannot be violated until they die. In sexual abuse, especially in a case of abuse to death, how is it possible that the part that is the first characteristic of a woman is not violated in any way? Therefore, Yang Zi always felt that there were many doubts in these two places. Lin Shanshan also asked, what if it was done by a psychopath? He didn't do it for fun at all, it was all for the purpose of torture and killing. But at this moment, neither of the two could convince the other, and in the end, Yang Zi was shocked by the passage of time, and only then did he remember that Lin Shanshan must be hungry and tired.
