"What do you want?"

Zhou Ning found a picture album from the table and handed it to Liu Yongxin.

"Master, you know, I have been learning to paint with Mr. Xia, not to cultivate sentiment and cultivate interest, I am mainly studying the skull and muscle direction, I have read a report before, there are particularly powerful criminal investigation police, can be described by witnesses, or skull, to restore the appearance of the deceased."

Liu Yongxin understood, and saw that Zhou Ning had been silent for a long time, and just when Zhou Ning thought that Liu Yongxin would refuse, he raised his head.

"What are you doing in a daze, you are idle anyway, the case is now in a state of stagnation, otherwise Xu Da would not have called over and over again, they shouldn't have found anything over there, so let's be a dead horse doctor and go to remove bones."

Zhou Ning shuddered.

"Tick?"

Liu Yongxin smiled, and this reaction made him very satisfied.

"Don't be cowardly, didn't you just say that you want a skull, and you are still waiting for someone to give you a hand? By the way, do you have a mold? ”

Zhou Ning shook his head honestly.

"What's the mold?"

Liu Yongxin glanced blankly.

"Are you really stupid or fake stupid, the identity of the deceased has not been clarified, the skull can be counted for you to use for restoration, of course, you have to make a 1:1 plaster cast."

Zhou Ning rubbed his nose.

"Aren't you my master? If you have a problem with Master, you didn't pick this matter, and if it can really be done, isn't this giving Master a long face for you? ”

Liu Yongxin sighed.

"Come less, I always feel that I have to help you count the money if I am sold by you, don't talk nonsense!"

The two went downstairs, dragged the free driver Zhao Xinli, and went straight to the county hospital, and worked until more than six o'clock, only then did they see the results, of course, the deceased's skull and the skin that were peeled back were also sent back.

Liu Yongxin wiped a handful of sweat and pushed the plaster model in front of Zhou Ning.

"Enough time, you can take it."

Zhou Ning gave Liu Yongxin a thumbs up.

"Master, you are so powerful, you can do this job, it really surprised me."

Liu Yongxin waved his hand.

"Come less, take it and take it away, I'll go home first."

Zhou Ning dragged Liu Yongxin, took a taxi to send him back, and he returned home with a plaster model, on the way he sent a text message to Xia Momo, he had told Xia Momo before that the reason why he wanted to learn painting, there was such a model, he hoped that Xia Momo would help him restore it together.

As soon as I entered the house, my mobile phone rang, and it was Xia Momo who called.

"Hey, Mr. Xia!"

"Forensic Doctor Zhou is in the studio now, you can bring models to me, my students have just left, it happens to be tomorrow weekend, we have plenty of time."

"Okay, don't eat and wait for me."

I bought some food, carried it straight to the Cultural Palace, the lights were on, stepping on a thin layer of snow on the ground, Zhou Ning walked briskly and came directly to the studio.

Xia Momo was making coffee, holding two cups and looking at Zhou Ning with a smile.

"You're here!"

"Here, I'm going to get you a job today."

Xia Momo smiled silently, handed the coffee to Zhou Ning, Zhou Ning put down what he was eating, and of course the skull model.

"Is this the skull?"

Zhou Ning took the coffee and briefly introduced.

"Yes, the deceased's face was disfigured, and the death was very miserable, so I won't show you the picture, after our autopsy, this is an old man about sixty years old, my master thinks he is a construction worker, but I don't see it that way.

Although the bare skin is dark and has age spots, there are no old injuries on the body, and the bones are healthy compared to their peers, but there are some heart problems. ”

Xia Momo put the model of the plaster skull on a table next to it, with some clay next to it, and Zhou Ning continued:

"I haven't been learning to draw with you for long, my ability is really limited, if I send it to the city bureau, I don't know when it will take, anyway, there are no clues, I want to try, this will trouble you."

"Needless to say kind words, my student was going to jump off the building before, I didn't look for you for the first time, and I was scolded by my father when I went home, I know it's not your department's business, you can come as soon as possible, I am very moved."

Speaking of this, Xia Momo paused, her face flushed, she felt that her words were a little ambiguous, and quickly diverted the topic.

"As for your ability to draw, it's only taken a month, from zero to now being able to draw a sketch of a skull, how do you want me to praise you?"

Zhou Ning smiled, after all, he was trained systematically every night, he was a waste, and he was also exercised, but Xia Momo's words gave him a little confidence.

"Let's not be polite to each other, I've seen some of the deceased's faces, let's eat first, and then start to recover."

Xia Momo didn't say anything else, the two of them ate, and began to fill in the skull model with soft clay, Zhou Ning kept saying the impression in his mind, after all, the transparent big screen was in front of him, constantly comparing and revising.

Time passed minute by minute, Xia Momo yawned, Zhou Ning knew that she was tired, looking at the restored head model of the deceased in front of her, Zhou Ning was full of a sense of accomplishment.

Looking at the phone, he found that it was out of power and automatically turned off, looking up at the watch on the wall, Zhou Ning realized that it was almost nine o'clock, and they had been tossing for more than ten hours, looking at Xia Momo apologetically.

"I didn't expect you to me all night, but I think this is the dead."

Xia Momo waved her hand.

"Okay, you can hurry up and get busy, I'll be happy to help you."

Zhou Ning got up, didn't talk nonsense, and left with his things.

didn't go home, went straight to the criminal police team, and when he arrived at the office, he found that Liu Yongxin was not there, so he washed up briefly, and before he wiped his face, Liu Yongxin walked in, and saw Zhou Ning's bloodshot eyes, raised his eyebrows, and had an unbelievable expression on his face.

"Why is the stinky boy's phone turned off, don't tell me, you and that Xiao Xia teacher tossed all night!"

Zhou Ning was a little furious and scratched his unkempt hair.

"What a toss all night, we are not busy restoring the appearance of the deceased, I didn't notice that the phone automatically turned off."

"Got it?"

Liu Yongxin approached Zhou Ning, Zhou Ning wiped the water stains on his face, and then walked to his desk and opened the bag.

Looking at this model of the deceased's head made of soft clay, Liu Yongxin's eyes lit up, he had seen the face of the deceased after being killed, although the face was cut off, but some places could still see the original face, such as big eye bags and half-cut eyebrows.

"Like, this one is too similar, I just saw similar sculptures in the journal, I didn't expect the two of you to get it out, and it only took one night, boy, you can do it!"

Zhou Ning smiled and didn't speak, and Liu Yongxin directly picked up the model.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and follow me, I forgot about it, Xu Da was mad in the conference room, there was no progress in the case, the surrounding investigation lasted for a day and a night, and no one was seen carrying the body, or pulling a box or something, and there were no missing people and construction sites found."

Zhou Ning nodded, followed Liu Yongxin's footsteps, and went directly to the conference room, almost thinking that he had entered the wrong room, the conference room was full of smoke, like a fairyland, and people couldn't open their eyes.

Liu Yongxin coughed twice and kicked at Zhao Xinli.

"The window is open, you people are too good at pumping, Xu Da, look at what my apprentice has come up with?"

Zhao Xinli hurriedly went to open the window, everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Ning, Xu Dayuan recognized Zhou Ning's ability very much after these several cooperations.

Seeing that Liu Yongxin was so happy, he couldn't wait to walk with his neck on his back, obviously there was something new, which made him instantly refreshed.

"Xiao Zhou's forensic doctor has found something, hurry up and tell me."

Liu Yongxin put the bag on the conference table, then opened the bag, took out the plaster cast inside, and poked Zhou Ning's arm.

"Okay, you kid come and introduce, I'll go find the relevant photos."

As he spoke, Liu Yongxin turned on the computer and enlarged several frontal photos of the deceased, which appeared on the big screen.

Zhou Ning cleared his throat, he was not nervous, he was really choked, and then he started talking.

"Here's the thing......

With the restoration of the appearance, I had some new ideas, before we thought that the deceased was a migrant worker at a construction site, after all, the nails were pitch black, and the fingers were full of black substance, but the test results were not obtained to confirm it.

But last night I thought a lot, if you work on a construction site, there will be some old injuries on your body, abrasions and cuts, but the deceased is not, his bones are healthier than ordinary old people.

Then I thought, who else would tan themselves so tanned? Is your body still so healthy?

I think that the direction of the investigation of the deceased can be placed on local retirees, who love fishing, kite flying, outdoor cycling, and yes, living alone, otherwise no one will know about the disappearance for many days, which is not logical. ”

Zhou Ning talked eloquently, and after speaking, the conference room quieted down directly, he was a little embarrassed, could it be that he talked too much?

Or is this analysis out of tune?
