Chapter 15: Recent Discoveries

"Director Xiao, Team Zhao, don't worry, the damage to the No. 2 skull is not particularly serious, and the bridge of the nose is abrupt, so it was smashed, doesn't this just show that the bridge of the nose is high, it can be regarded as a feature."

"As long as there is no obvious damage elsewhere and the skull features are still there, I will definitely be able to draw a simulated portrait and try my best to ensure the degree of authenticity."

Ma Jianping looked at the two leaders with serious expressions, and at this moment he wanted to comfort Director Xiao and Captain Zhao, but at the same time, he was quite confident in himself.

"Rest assured, tomorrow morning, the picture is guaranteed. Team Zhao, I'm going to paint a portrait. ”

Cheng Qiushui handed two X-rays to Ma Jianping's hand.

"Go ahead! Don't stay up too long, don't hold on, just draw it by 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

"After ten o'clock, there may be a case analysis meeting."

Zhao Zimeng understands Ma Jianping's ability, and wants to give him a little more time and let him be calmer, it is useless to be in a hurry about this kind of thing.

The investigation of the case will start with the simulated portraits of No. 1 and No. 2, and the higher the fidelity of the simulated portraits, the more beneficial it will be for the subsequent investigation.

Ma Jianping, 25 years old this year, medium build, 1.73 meters tall, with an honest and slightly childish face, graduated from Wuhai Criminal Investigation College two years ago, majoring in criminal investigation and computer science.

Although he is young, he is steady, very professional, and has a calm that does not match his age.

In recent years, with the progress of the times and the development of science and technology, computers have begun to be used in criminal investigation work.

Zhao Zimeng also realized that the old criminal investigation methods could not catch up with the new situation, so he applied to the leaders of the municipal bureau many times: he wanted to introduce DNA identification equipment and technology.

Because foreign countries have long been widely used in criminal investigation work.

Second, it is necessary to equip computers, and at the same time introduce high-end talents who understand both computers and criminal investigation.

The leaders of the municipal bureau agreed with Zhao Zimeng's idea very much, and they also went to the province many times to apply to the leaders of the provincial department.

In addition, Zhao Zimeng's "Condor Brigade" has a good reputation, and later, after the efforts of the leaders of the city bureau, in view of the actual situation, it was decided that at this stage, Zhao Zimeng's second request could be met first, and the criminal investigation team should be equipped with computers.

As for the first requirement, it can only be implemented when the conditions are ripe, and there is no precedent for the introduction of DNA identification technology in the national public security system.

It was against this background that Ma Jianping was assigned to the criminal investigation team.

People eat on their strengths, and Ma Jianping's specialty is to draw human heads based on descriptions and the skulls of the deceased.

He can not only skillfully use computer technology to draw simulated portraits, but also use brushes to draw sketch portraits, which can be called the "magic brush Ma Liang" in the "Condor Brigade".

These two forms of simulated portraits are combined and refer to each other, and the degree of restoration and realism of the original will be greatly improved.

Before going to university, Ma Jianping's favorite thing was painting - his parents had asked famous teachers to tutor him, and he himself wanted to apply for the Academy of Fine Arts.

But later, because his cultural achievements were very good, his parents felt that it was a pity to study art, and there was a better choice, so they strongly opposed Ma Jianping to go to the Academy of Fine Arts.

In the past, his parents supported him to learn painting because they wanted to cultivate his interest, cultivate his sentiments, and release his personality, and did not expect him to continue on the road of painting.

In this contradictory situation, Ma Jianping had no choice but to retreat and apply for the criminal investigation and computer major of Wuhai Criminal Investigation College.

Heaven is as people wish, and the major he applied for has a lot to do with painting, and for this, he is secretly glad.

In the criminal investigation team, Zhao Zimeng believes that every young person is a treasure, and Zhao Zimeng has poured a lot of effort into them.

At the end of last year, Ma Jianping had a girlfriend, a year younger than him, who graduated from the Academy of Literature and Art two years ago and worked as an illustration editor in a magazine.

The girl was born in a family of teachers, an only child, gentle and lovely, her parents regarded her as a treasure, and her family education was strict.

The two of them met at a friend's party and had a crush on each other.

Ma Jianping took the initiative to confess to the girl with the encouragement of his friends, and after coming and going, the two became friends, and after the two of them knew each other for a while, the girl's parents knew, and when they heard that their daughter's object was a criminal policeman, they immediately objected.

The reason is very simple, the criminal police are a high-risk profession, and the work is hard, and they don't get to work on time, so they only have this one baby daughter, and they don't want her to suffer in the future.

The girl has been a good girl since she was a child, and she obeys her parents' orders, and seeing that her parents are so resolute, she began to hesitate a little.

Ma Jianping's love and his professional ability are not at the same level at all.

After four months of spending time with other girls, I only met four times in total - six times, and two no-shows, and released the girls' pigeons.

may be in the early stage of sweet love, although the girl has some opinions on this, she understands the particularity of Ma Jianping's profession and can understand it.

But after a long time, some subtle changes have occurred in her own heart, coupled with the strong opposition of her parents and the cool words of her classmates and girlfriends - her classmates are either married to a rich second generation in business, or have found a politician, or they are with young talents.

She also gradually realized: If the family is really organized, the two people will spend less time together, even if they get married, I am afraid it is not the model of a normal person, such a life is too insecure, she dare not imagine.

After much thought, the girl finally chose to break up.

Ma Jianping didn't try his best to keep him, he was honest on the surface but had strong self-esteem, and his mouth was a little clumsy, so he wouldn't make girls happy.

He loved his profession so much that he decided not to use a hot face to put a cold on his cheeks.

The process of breaking up was indeed very chic, but because of this setback, Ma Jianping was still depressed for a while.

Zhao Zimeng, as the leader of the first team, naturally has a lot of issues to consider: due to Xiao Changsong's physical reasons, in the later criminal investigation work, no matter how difficult or urgent the case is, he will pay attention to controlling the intensity of the work.

Because the lessons are profound, repeated mistakes cannot be repeated. Therefore, he often told everyone to "don't play with your life".

Although the criminal investigation work is arduous, it depends on the brain, not brute force, and he hopes that his team can go further.

If you want the title of "Condor Brigade" to never fade and be more combative, as the captain, you must solve everyone's practical difficulties and worries, such as the personal problems of young people, which are unavoidable.

He, as the captain, can't fail to think about it.

Recently, he used his wife to find a partner for Ma Jianping.

Zhao Zimeng's wife, Xu Xiaolan, works as an English teacher at a key middle school in the city, and there is a young female teacher named Qi Ran who teaches physics. Twenty-four years old, beautiful and mild-mannered.

Xu Xiaolan told Qi Ran about Ma Jianping's situation, and Qi Ran said that he admired the profession of criminal police, so he could contact him first.

This afternoon, Zhao Zimeng was just about to talk to Ma Jianping about this, but he didn't expect Director Zhang to call suddenly. Zhao Zimeng had to find another time.

The job of a criminal police officer is like this, always on standby, work is more important than everything.

After Ma Jianping left, the autopsy continued.

Next, Xiao Changsong's main task was to look for the characteristic signs on No. 1 and No. 2: birthmarks, scars, including scabs.

Soon, Xiao Changsong made three important discoveries on No. 1's body.

The first discovery was that No. 1 had a distinct birthmark on its back, which was in the shape of a cicada with outstretched wings, the same size as the chiri, and the birthmark was located below the right shoulder blade near the spine.

The second finding is that the neck of No. 1 is much longer than that of the average male, and it is not a little longer.

Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei also described the length of No. 1's neck in the autopsy report.

Earlier, the height of No. 1 was tentatively set at about 1.65 meters, but the actual situation is that No. 1's neck is more than two centimeters longer than that of ordinary men, so Xiao Changsong tentatively set No. 1's height at 167 cm.

The third discovery was that Number One had a half-length scar on his neck.

From these observations, it appears that One's face and body shape are very distinctive: bony buckteeth, a long neck, a birthmark on his body, and a half-long scar next to his throat.

And the location of the scar is from the throat to above the collarbone, no wonder the murderer cut the head from the level of the shoulder No. 1.

"If No. 1 is a Luo pot, then he is more Quasimodo than Quasimodo in "Notre Dame de Paris." Feng Yiming said half-jokingly.

"It's the first time I've seen a man with such a strange face, and it's really special." Into the autumn waterway.

Coupled with the characteristics discovered by Zhao Zimeng and Linghu Yunfei, there are a total of six discoveries: bony buckteeth, long neck, birthmark, scar on the neck, long hair, delicately trimmed fingernails and toenails, and no calluses on the soles of hands and feet.

Xiao Changsong also felt that the discoveries of Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei were very important.

Since Xiao Changsong went to work in the forensic medical department, a lot of work was done by a few assistants, and he worked from 9 to 5 every day - although he was extremely reluctant, this was the decision of the leaders of the city bureau, and Zhao Zimeng and they also took great care of him, an "old comrade".

In this way, Xiao Changsong has enough time to arrange his spare time, he has a chess friend, the two of them often play a few games together, this old friend is a retired cadre of the municipal trade union, his name is Niu Changkuan, Niu Changkuan has the habit of bathing in the bathhouse.

Except for summer, three seasons a year, especially winter, he had to report to the bathhouse every day.

Influenced by Niu Changkuan, Xiao Changsong also likes to go to the bathhouse to take a bath in his spare time, these two people live in a community, there is a time-honored bathhouse nearby, and the name of the bathhouse is "Victory Hall".

Every day after dinner, the two of them will meet in the "Victory Hall", and after taking a bath, the two of them will drink tea and play three games of chess.
