Chapter 84: He doesn't look like the same person
After all, further autopsy was needed, so Dr. Lu and his colleagues began to operate on the spot. Computers were quickly connected one by one, and then several staff members began to operate the synthesis function of the software.
Although Zhou Ning provided the design concept and participated in the initial planning, he did not understand the operation of the software. When he saw Xiaoqu operating it, he watched carefully. When it came to the final selection of skin color and eye color, Xiaoqu handed the operating keyboard to Zhou Ning.
"Forensic Doctor Zhou, you take care of the next steps."
Zhou Ning did not shirk responsibility. Although the deceased's skin looked pale, it was due to massive blood loss. The actual skin color was slightly darker than this.
Zhou Ning selected the skin color, recalled the color of the iris and selected that as well, and of course the sparser eyebrows. After finishing these little pieces, he clicked on the synthesis button.
A small hourglass appeared on the screen. After waiting for more than ten seconds, a three-dimensional figure appeared. Liu Yongxin and Da Zhao came over. The two of them performed an autopsy on the body and saw the remaining facial features of the deceased. Zhou Ning turned sideways.
"Master Da Zhao, take a look, does this look like a deceased person?"
Da Zhao kept nodding.
"Very similar, but isn't it a little darker?"
Liu Yongxin shook his head.
"Skin color is fine, Dr. Lu, can this software also search for fingerprints?"
"We have reported to the Municipal Bureau. We can . Have you extracted the fingerprints of the deceased?"
Zhou Ning shook his head.
"I'm just asking, the reason why this case is difficult is because the murderer cut off the victim's fingerprints, so we can only check the victim's face, and her teeth are very straight, with no signs of correction."
Dr. Lu took a deep breath and then looked at the dissecting table. He had been so excited that he didn't notice the condition of the deceased. He couldn't help but shudder when he saw this.
"I only heard about it before, but now that I see the state of the body, I understand how difficult your job is. But since we have found the deceased's appearance, let's search in your system to see if we can find the deceased's identity information?"
Zhou Ning nodded excitedly. Xiao Qu clicked on a connection, and then the photo was moved to one side. The screen was divided into two parts. One half was the image that had just been synthesized, and the other part had photos flashing continuously, as if a corresponding comparison was being made.
"Is this in the household registration information, and is it compared with the household registration photo?"
Dr. Lu nodded.
"Yes, but all the household registration photos are not screened based on appearance. Didn't you send me an article about your idea last time, which is a method of extracting data from the facial features in the reference image?
I asked them to improve the search function by comparing our composite head portrait data with the facial features data on all household registration photos, so that even if there is plastic surgery or changes due to age differences, they can be ignored. "
As he was speaking, a beeping sound came from the computer. The sound was almost the same as Zhou Ning's system. He was startled for a moment and quickly looked at the display screen.
The search has ended and a person's information has been found. Xiaoqu clicks to view the details and the person's identity information appears on the screen.
However, when Liu Yongxin saw the man’s ID photo, he was stunned.
"Is this a person? Why doesn't he look like one?"
Zhou Ning moved closer. It was a new ID card, replaced in 2006. The girl in the photo had dark single eyelids and a little black hair around her lips. It was quite different from the photo they had composited.
Da Zhao came over and read the contents on the screen.
"Cheng Chunyan, born on February 7, 1989, a student at Qidong County No. 4 Middle School. This was entered in 2006. She should have been in school at the time. Her home address is No. 21, Zhujiazhuang, Tieshan Town. Huh? Isn't this address next to the bonded logistics park?"
Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes. He was born in 1989 and got his ID card in 2006, which made him exactly 17 years old. Since the system could match it, it would not be impossible to check it out.
"Master, can you let Xu Da and the others check this person's information?"
Liu Yongxin nodded and dialed Xu Dayuan's cell phone directly.
"Dr. Lu and his team came and used the software designed by Zhou Ning and his team to restore the portrait of the deceased. Then, during the system comparison process, they found the information of a person named Cheng Chunyan. I sent it to you. There is a landline number on it. You can contact her and see if it is not her. If it is not her, we will check again. If it is, we will come and identify her."
"Okay, I'll take a look now."
After the phone call was hung up, the autopsy room fell silent. If the deceased's family could be found, they would naturally have to wait for them to come and take a look before performing the autopsy. Of course, they might not be able to recognize the person even if they came, so they could just look at the clothes and so on.
Ten minutes later, Liu Yongxin's cell phone rang.
"Hello, I've contacted her family. They said Cheng Chunyan didn't come home last night and I can't get in touch with her. I'm thinking about calling the police. Her sister is next to the Eighth Hospital. I'll pick her up and she'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yongxin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just wait. Doctor Lu, why don't you go to the team? We have a place in our office. We're going to do an autopsy here soon. If you stay here, I'm afraid it will affect your appetite."
Dr. Lu waved his hand with a smile on his face.
"I came here today to watch the dissection with my team members. This will be more conducive to the future software development and let everyone know the significance of this software development. It's okay to vomit, but it can also be regarded as an experience!"
Liu Yongxin gave a thumbs up. Dr. Lu's words were still touching. Indeed, only by experiencing these things can one more deeply feel the significance of this software. Of course, if it is proved that Cheng Chunyan is the deceased this time, it means that the software's analysis is more accurate than the judgment of the human eye.
In less than ten minutes, the door of the autopsy room was pushed open and Xu Dayuan walked in. He was stunned when he saw everyone in the room. He nodded to Dr. Lu and led a woman behind him in. The woman had a panicked look on her face. Zhou Ning walked to the autopsy table and completely covered the face of the deceased with a white cloth.
Then he turned around, pointed at the clothes on the stainless steel cart next to him, and looked at the woman.
"Please identify whether this is your sister's clothing."
The woman nodded and walked tremblingly to the stainless steel cart. The red down jacket was folded up, and the bloodstains were mainly on the inside, so it didn't look that bloody.
She stared at the collar of the down jacket, then pulled up the sleeve and turned it over. Zhou Ning also looked over and saw a shield-shaped decoration pasted on the left sleeve of the down jacket. The woman tore it and a corner of the decoration was torn off. It turned out that there was adhesive on the back.
The woman raised her head, tears streaming down her face, and pointed at the clothes as she looked at Zhou Ning.
"This is Chunyan's down jacket. It was torn right after she bought it, so I put a patch on it for her. Can I see Chunyan? I think she must be miserable when I see her. I can recognize my sister. I am prepared!"
The woman was screaming at the end. Xu Dayuan looked at Zhou Ning, then sighed and said:
"The deceased's face was destroyed, his fingerprints were cleaned, and his body was covered with signs of abuse. He is no longer recognizable. I understand how you feel, but you'd better not look at it. We will collect a blood sample from you and perform a DNA analysis. That way we can get accurate information."
The woman kept shaking her head, rushed to Zhou Ning's side, pulled away the white cloth, and then stood there in a daze.
Hearing others say it and seeing it with one's own eyes are two completely different experiences, especially when one's closest relatives see her like this. The woman grabbed the edge of the dissecting table and howled continuously. Da Zhao stepped forward and tried to pull the woman away.
However, she pulled the dead man's arm and pointed at a mole on his shoulder, and she could no longer speak.
Zhou Ning waved his hand, signaling Da Zhao to let the person go.
"You mean, do you know this mole?"
The woman nodded, unzipped her collar, revealing part of her shoulders, and seemed to have regained some control over her emotions.
"My sister and I both have a mole on our shoulders. It's blue and the size of a soybean. It's different from the moles that are higher than the skin on most people. This is my sister, my sister!"
After saying that, he let go of the edge of the dissecting table, Da Zhao held the person, let her sit on the chair, and handed her a glass of water.
"We understand how Daman feels. That's why we don't allow you to see it. Most people can't stand it. You're already pretty impressive. Don't worry, there are so many forensic doctors and experts here. We will search for evidence carefully and catch the murderer."
The woman nodded, holding the cup and absorbing the warmth from it.
Zhou Ning pushed his glasses and heard a beeping sound beside his ear. Congratulations to the bound person, the specific part of this task has been completed. Do you want to submit?
Zhou Ning directly clicked "no". He didn't have to complete the tasks beyond the syllabus, but he didn't want to think about it at the moment. As he clicked, the countdown stopped at 10:22.
At this time, Liu Yongxin handed Da Zhao a letter of consent. This time, without anyone's persuasion, the woman grabbed the pen and signed it. Then she put down the cup and knelt down in front of everyone.
"My sister is an honest girl. Please find the murderer. I kowtow to you here!"
Da Zhao picked up the woman. He was usually smiling and playful, but now his face looked a little serious.
"We understand the feelings of the family members. We have found so many experts to investigate your sister's identity in order to catch the murderer. You don't have to kneel down and kowtow, understand? Go outside and make a statement. Try to recall as much information about your sister as possible. The more detailed, the better it will be for solving the case."
The woman was yelled at and became quiet. Zhou Ning walked over and pointed at the screen and said:
"Look at these two photos. Does your sister look like them?"
