Chapter 1380: Hunting Crime + Fireworks 5
When there is no report notification, the criminal police team certainly cannot sit idle. At Xu Qin's suggestion, Li Han used his superb computer skills to "fish" on the Internet. "Nowadays, online fraud is too scary. The victims have even begun to distribute to the middle-aged and elderly groups!"
"There are also telephone fraud and online gambling, which are really rampant and re-emerge despite repeated bans!"
Li Han was really furious. In just two days, she had reported several cases. However, the IP addresses they were investigating were all in other places, and there were no local ones for the time being. She could only report to her local colleagues.
Even though he did not participate in the subsequent actions, Li Han still felt disgusted with those criminals: "Recently, the victims are mostly college graduates and middle-aged and elderly people with children in their twenties. I can't even imagine..."
Li Han did not explain, but Xu Qin understood her concerns very well. However, she could not completely eliminate these things from the root, so she could only comfort Li Han: "So we work hard, and catching a criminal can make others safer."
These words could only bring a little comfort to Li Han. She also understood this truth, so she could only try to adjust her mentality and continue to surf the Internet.
After a while, Jiang Feng came over to inform us: "A body was dug up during the renovation of the playground of No. 8 Middle School. Director Zhang asked us to go over and take a look."
Li Han and Xu Qin took action immediately. Although Du Cheng had affirmed Shen Yi's ability in the last Liang Yi case, he was even more upset that he could not draw the woman who asked him to draw the middle-aged portrait of the former captain Lei Yifei. So this time when they went to the scene, Shen Yi still followed Li Han and Xu Qin in the same car.
On the way, Li Han urgently searched the Internet for some information and promptly informed everyone: "Jiangbei No. 8 Middle School is a high school ranked in the middle to upper middle of the city. Compared with the traditional college entrance examination subjects such as liberal arts and science, it is most famous for the training of art students. In recent years, it has successively sent a lot of talents to major art colleges, and there are several famous alumni."
As a former painter who was very famous before and whose works are even more sought after now, Shen Yi has also heard of the reputation of Jiangbei No. 8 Middle School. He even has a certain impression of the famous alumni mentioned by Li Han. This also indirectly shows that Jiangbei No. 8 Middle School is indeed very capable.
Xu Qin asked, "Are there any missing persons in Jiangbei No. 8 Middle School?"
Li Han did a quick investigation and immediately shared the news with Du Cheng and Jiang Feng: "Ten years ago, the mother of a high school student named Ren Xiaoxuan did not return home for more than 24 hours and reported her to the police. Later, she was confirmed missing. To date, Ren Xiaoxuan's whereabouts have not been found."
Medical examiner He Rongyue completely removed the remains. Seeing everyone coming, he quickly shared the clues he had obtained so far: "It is preliminarily determined that the skeleton died of a heart rupture caused by a sharp weapon, but the torso and skull of the skeleton belong to two women of different ages."
"Based on the wear and growth of the femur, the age of the torso is between fifteen and seventeen years old, while the age of the skull is over forty years old, judging by the wear on the teeth of the skull."
As he spoke, He Rongyue picked up the skull and turned it over to show everyone, "There is a mark of deliberate erasure here, the purpose is to erase some mark here."
Shen Yi understood it immediately and explained to everyone: "Generally, real skeletons donated through normal channels will have a number representing identity information on them. Art students should all know this."
Du Cheng looked at Xu Qin approvingly. Her strong intuition helped them avoid a lot of detours. Now the identity of the skeleton was almost clear. It was most likely Ren Xiaoxuan, a freshman at No. 8 Middle School who disappeared ten years ago.
Du Cheng asked Jiang Feng to contact Ren Xiaoxuan's family to come over for a DNA test to confirm the identity of the skeleton. As for the missing skull, Xu Qin invited Shen Yi and said, "Professor Shen, please accompany me to the art classroom."
Shen Yi immediately understood Xu Qin's plan and joked, "Do you think the torso's skull might be in the art classroom?"
Xu Qin smiled and nodded, "It's normal to think this way, especially since we should record a statement with the art teacher."
Indeed, anyone could replace the skull of a deceased person with teaching aids, but only art teachers, art students, and relevant persons in charge could remember to grind off the numbers on the teaching aids.
As they went upstairs, Xu Qin asked Shen Yi, "Professor Shen, can you infer the time when the skull was replaced based on the skull copy?"
Shen Yi thought about it and gave Xu Qin an answer: "In theory, it is possible. But you also know that the quality of students' works varies, and some changes in light and shadow cannot be expressed well."
"I can only say that we need to take a look at the students' works first. After all, the art students in No. 8 Middle School are very famous. I'm sure the school will not easily allow students with no talent to take the art exam route."
Shen Yi himself is a talented person. When he was drawing graffiti, he was noticed by his teacher Xu Yidu, who has been cultivating him with all his efforts. If it weren't for the incident with Lei Yifei back then, he would now be just an unruly and eccentric artist.
After hearing what Shen Yi said, Xu Qin certainly wouldn't force it: "It doesn't matter if we really can't deduce it. We can still use other methods to infer the time when the skull was replaced. We just need to spend more effort on the forensic side."
Shen Yi knew how powerful forensic medicine was just by looking at He Rongyue. He skipped this topic and couldn't help asking about something more personal: "I saw you identify Jiang Ge's nails before and found that you are very sensitive to the changes in light and color. Did you learn it?"
Xu Qin didn't hide anything and answered without hesitation, "I can indeed see more and richer colors than most people, and I can also capture subtle changes in light and color, but I haven't taken any relevant courses. I used to be quite lazy and didn't like to move much. Even when I went to college, I chose a major like philosophy, which only requires thinking."
This conversation might seem a bit too formal, but Shen Yi is now a colleague and comrade-in-arms, so it doesn't matter if he says a few more words.
The person in charge of the art classroom in No. 8 Middle School is Zhai Lanxin, who attended No. 8 Middle School in high school. She graduated as an art student and returned to her alma mater to work. Now she is in charge of the entire art group.
Xu Qin looked at the long-haired beauty in front of her, and at first glance she felt that she had some common temperament with Shen Yi. Perhaps this was the common point between their studies in art.
However, Xu Qin could sense that after she revealed her identity, Zhai Lanxin's eyes brightened a little. Although the other party had been praising her appearance and temperament, she intuitively felt that this Zhai Lanxin might have some connection with the missing Ren Xiaoxuan. It was a bit far-fetched to simply say that they were about the same age.
