Chapter 24 Portrait Restoration Technology
In an instant, the scene on the transparent big screen changed. It was no longer transparent green words. Instead, an animated version of Zhou Ning's avatar appeared, with some information below.
Bound person Zhou Ning, congratulations on completing the intermediate task. The reward the system has drawn for you is: Portrait Restoration Technology [1] Level 2 Authority. You can choose to obtain it directly, or complete the study step by step within 15 days?
Two selection boxes are placed before you.
Zhou Ning was stunned. Portrait restoration technology?
Isn't this just painting?
After two days of worry and fear, this is what I got. What kind of reward is this?
But when I think about the fact that among the Eight Tigers of Criminal Investigation, there is a very powerful boss who can accurately draw a portrait of the murderer based on other people's descriptions, it seems that this is not bad, but this thing has little connection with the work of forensic doctors.
After hesitating for a moment, he simply clicked on the fifteen-day plan to complete it step by step. After all, he had no basic knowledge , so he was a little scared to start directly.
Furthermore, Zhou Ning understood how this system worked. In a case, as long as he touched the corpse, the system task would be activated. Once activated, the system would threaten him and want to take something back.
But this threat was very different at the beginning and now. At the beginning, he directly obtained the second-level authority, which was completely cramming. Since he could choose to learn slowly, he would take his time. Anyway, he was not in a hurry.
After figuring this out, Zhou Ning simply clicked on 15 days to complete it step by step.
The screen will change immediately. Please wait for a moment and the download will be completed in two minutes.
This time, he didn't have a splitting headache, just a little sore eyes. However, the book cover flashed in front of him and there were some key time points. He looked carefully and saw that the publication date was 2021.
This discovery surprised Zhou Ning a little, it turned out to be knowledge from eleven years later!
You have to know that the knowledge you learn in school is almost outdated. After all, what you learn are treatment methods and standards from many years ago. Nowadays, the development of medicine is very fast, and it can be said that it is changing with each passing day.
After a quick check, he realized that he had really thought it was simple. It was not as simple as drawing a portrait of the murderer based on the description, but restoring the skull according to the different ages, heights, weights and genders of the deceased.
It looks like it's very awesome.
Zhou Ning swallowed his saliva, and with a "ding" sound, a very thick album of portrait restoration technology appeared in front of Zhou Ning. Zhou Ning flipped through a few pages and found that the content was indeed very detailed. Even if he had never studied painting, he could understand the introduction.
Zhou Ning no longer felt sleepy as he did in school when he saw a book, and he flipped through the pages carefully.
After an unknown amount of time, the car suddenly stopped and Zhou Ning opened his eyes.
Xu Dayuan was already standing in the yard and waved his hand behind him. Someone came up and took Wang Chengjuan away. As for the sample Zhou Ning had just collected, it was just for blood comparison and did not need to be sent to the city. Xu Dayuan had it sent directly to the county hospital.
Xu Dayuan raised his arm and put his arm around Zhou Ning's shoulders. He was very pleased to have such a capable young man.
"Xiao Zhou, the forensic doctor is amazing. I said you are my lucky star, and you really give me surprises one after another. I give you a goal of 5 points, and you can give a 100% result. With this ability and seriousness, you should all learn from me."
He Chunyang and the others were laughing on the side. No one said anything sarcastic. They were all genuinely happy. After all, it had been less than 48 hours since the case was reported. The fact that the case was solved so quickly was the best proof.
Zhou Ning felt a little embarrassed, after all, there were so many people watching.
"Mr. Xu has exaggerated. We are just lucky. However, we need to organize Wang Chengjuan's confession carefully. She is a habitual liar. I have recorded the conversation I just had with you and will send it to Mr. Xu later."
Xu Dayuan nodded vigorously.
"Okay, let He Chunyang go and interrogate her. Hiding the tools used in the crime and concealing Liu Wangcai's whereabouts is enough to put her in jail. Explain the policy to her in detail. Of course, also explain her meritorious service."
He Chunyang left happily. Such an interrogation with solid evidence was easy to carry out and did not involve any technical difficulty.
Zhao Xinli went to send the samples for examination, and Zhou Ning returned to the office and began to organize the autopsy report. He had only made records before, but a detailed autopsy report needed to be accompanied by all the test reports and comparison results, and these needed to be completed as soon as possible.
…
That day, it was almost time to get off work.
Zhao Xinli walked into Zhou Ning's office with a smile on his face, came close to Zhou Ning, watched him printing a report, and raised his chin towards Zhou Ning.
"Hey, you're not interested in the outcome of the trial. Can you calm down and write a report here?"
Zhou Ning rolled his eyes at him, his expression saying it all.
"Just say what you want to say. I have to hurry up and finish processing these reports. I can't let my work affect the submission of this case. Xu Da and the others are in a hurry. After all, during this special period, the county must prioritize stability."
Zhao Xinli lost his enthusiasm instantly, sat down next to Zhou Ning, picked up the reports and read them through.
"It's really boring to chat with you smart people. Xu Da asked me to come and see if your report is finished. The case needs to be submitted to the procuratorate urgently, just like what you said before."
Zhou Ning checked it once and added the bloodstains that Zhao Xinli had just retrieved for testing. After finding nothing wrong, he handed everything to Zhao Xinli.
"Then tell me, have Liu Wangcai and Wang Chengjuan confessed?"
Zhao Xinli smiled again, supported his elbows on the table, and said mysteriously:
"I am convinced. Your guess is completely correct. Although Liu Wangcai has obtained a divorce, he has been brooding over it and has not told anyone in the village about his divorce. He even asked Wang Chengjuan to keep an eye on Zhu Meifeng.
On the 21st, after Zhu Meifeng called Liu Wangcai, he took the train back and had not used his identity information to buy a ticket, so Captain He and his men did not find out. At noon, Liu Wangcai met Wang Chengjuan in disguise. Wang Chengjuan prepared food for him and he hid in Lantaizi.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Liu Wangcai returned home in the dark. He did not go through the front door, but climbed over the wall. He saw Li Delin and Zhu Meifeng sleeping at home. Li Delin was drunk, and when Zhu Meifeng tried to wake him up, it was too late.
He rushed into the kitchen, holding a knife, and slashed Li Delin's neck. Li Delin wanted to run away holding his clothes, but Liu Wangcai stabbed him five times. Zhu Meifeng wanted to stop him, but he kicked Zhu Meifeng unconscious, caught up with Li Delin, and stabbed him in the back at the door, leaving him motionless.
Afterwards, Liu Wangcai cleaned the room and bandaged his hands. Seeing that Zhu Meifeng was unconscious, he wrapped her in a bed sheet and carried her to Lantaizi, where he locked Zhu Meifeng up. He began to think about what to do next, after all, he had to clear himself of suspicion.
Around 23:00 that evening, Wang Chengjuan heard some noise at Liu Wangcai's house, but after shouting twice there was no response, and she did not go over to see. She thought Liu Wangcai must have fought with Zhu Meifeng. After all, she had always been jealous of Zhu Meifeng. She was married, had children, and someone was still so nice to her. How could she not be jealous?
On the evening of the 24th, Liu Wangcai carried the strangled Zhu Meifeng back to his home and hung her on the beam to disguise it as suicide. He then further inspected the scene. After all, he had been a auxiliary police officer for a year and had also visited the scene, so it looked more like self-production and self-sales.
He climbed out from the back window, entered Wang Chengjuan's house, found a pitchfork to close the window, but it was too dark at night and he didn't notice that the window was not closed tightly. He returned the pitchfork to Wang Chengjuan's house, where she discovered him. He gave Wang Chengjuan money and asked her to go to his house on the morning of the 27th.
Wang Chengjuan asked what happened, and Liu Wangcai threatened her that if she wanted to live, she should not know so much, otherwise she would die like Zhu Meifeng. Wang Chengjuan was frightened and shut up. Then he took a bus back to Ludong City overnight. As for the gloves and clothes, they were thrown into the trash can at the train station. "
Zhou Ning listened to Zhao Xinli's story and nodded continuously, until he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wang Chengjuan is stupid enough, otherwise she would not have escaped death. After all, Liu Wangcai was so bloodthirsty that he thought of disguising the scene as self-production and self-sales. This was not a passionate murder, but a premeditated one."
"Well, the boss also said so. Liu Wangcai can't escape the death penalty, and Wang Chengjuan will have to wait and see how the judge sentences her. It's hard to define. Okay, I'll go deliver the materials before I get off work. I have a hard life and I can't just sit there doing nothing."
Zhou Ning smiled and slapped the report on Zhao Xinli.
"Stop complaining and just go."
Only after seeing Zhao Xinli off did Zhou Ning finally breathe a sigh of relief. The murderer in this case was not difficult to find, but the evidence was not easy to discover. If he had not thought of going to the scene a second time, the case would have been stuck.
Shaking his head, Zhou Ning began to shut down the computer with the big-bellied monitor.
Just then, his cell phone rang, and the words "Second Uncle" kept flashing. Zhou Ning was startled, and suddenly remembered that when he went back last weekend, his grandfather had sprained his foot. Could he still be feeling unwell?
…
【1】Portrait restoration technology:
As early as 1958, the Soviet anthropologist Professor Gerasimov proposed that, based on the skull of the deceased, a computer can be used to perform a three-dimensional scan of the skull, and then, through a scientific measurement of the thickness of the soft tissue, a three-dimensional reconstruction can be performed to restore the person's appearance when he was alive. What's even more amazing is that this restoration technology can even accurately measure the amount of hair a person had when he was alive, which is really amazing.
