Chapter 909 Verification

Tao Yajie stared at the photo on the table and remained calm for three, four, five or sixty seconds.

Just when her deskmate thought she was going to question it, Tao Yajie took out her cell phone and said with a smile, "Excuse me, I'll check the bodies inside. Because the bodies found earlier have already been partially anthropologically identified..."

As she spoke, she flipped through the photos in the album.

A waiter came over to change the bone plates for everyone. He walked around the door and went to Tao Yajie first. He happened to see the bright photos of corpses on Tao Yajie's mobile phone. The bones in the photos were black, gray, and white. There were close-ups of hideous skulls, leg bones overlapping in all directions, and a sternum lying silently on the shiny stainless steel.

The little girl rubbed her eyes and looked up again, and saw that Jiang Yuan's front was also covered with photos of skeletons, but they looked cleaner, more uniform, and more creepy...

The little girl couldn't help but open her mouth and her eyes widened.

Tang Jia, who was standing next to her, was worried that she would scream, so she stood up and said, "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people..."

"I know. You are from the medical department, right? It's not good for your health to read this kind of thing while eating..." The girl adjusted her mood and continued to work.

"We are from the Department of Archaeology." President Wang Weiqing smiled at the waiter.

The little girl said, "Oh!" "That's not bad. The teachers and students from the medical department who come to eat here often bring these kinds of scary photos."

"So in the end, the medical department is the scariest, right?" Zhang Jiao, also a graduate student, turned the finger bone keychain in her hand. The finger bone was stolen from the laboratory, which violated the rules and discipline, but she did it anyway, just like an ordinary person who often violates the rules, does not abide by the discipline, despises the unit's rules, is irresponsible, acts recklessly, and only cares about her own emotions.

The waitress thought for a moment while changing the bone dish and said, "The scariest ones are probably the biology department, especially the freshmen. They often bring frogs, rabbits and the like, and some of them are even skinned for the store to process."

Zhang Jiao frowned, and the finger bone keychain stopped spinning. Did I lose?

Without waiting for her to say anything else, Tao Yajie put down her phone and said in a surprised tone, "The age of the previous skeletons is basically consistent with your judgment, Forensic Doctor Jiang. The time difference is less than a year."

Compared with corpses at crime scenes, determining the age of skeletons at archaeological sites is much more difficult. After all, they have been stored for a longer time. Moreover, the environment inside the tomb is different from the outside environment. Over the years, it is easy to accumulate very outrageous innate conditions.

So, besides being surprised, there was also a little bit of admiration for Jiang Yuan in Tao Yajie's tone.

Jiang Yuan said naturally: "Why is there a discrepancy in the age estimates of which corpses?"

In terms of forensic anthropology alone, he has not yet opened the temporary +1 skill, which means he is purely level 3, which is the top in Shannan Province's archaeological community, but may not be ranked nationwide. However, the age judgment of corpses is closely related to the skill of death time. Jiang Yuan's death time judgment is level 6, which is not only a problem of domestic top flow, but also a top flow internationally.

Jiang Yuan also wanted to judge the strength of the domestic archaeological community based on this. After all, he has basically been working in the police force in the past few years.

Tao Yajie smiled, thinking that Jiang Yuan was not convinced, and said, "It's already very accurate. You only looked at it for a few minutes... No, it took less than a minute to determine the age of the corpse..."

As she spoke, she noticed Jiang Yuan's disapproving expression, so she wisely stopped and said, "Looking at my records, the third and fourth on the left, our expert group's judgment is one year younger than yours, 34 and 20 years old."

Jiang Yuan said "Oh", leaned over and took another look at the photos of the third and fourth, and said quickly: "The fourth one should be the difference between the beginning and the end of the year. As for the third one, your judgment is wrong, you can use the pelvis to do the age identification."

"Yes." Tao Yajie nodded.

The pelvis is the easiest bone to identify in anthropology. Whether it is the age, gender, height, whether or not the deceased has given birth, etc., it can be easily seen. At the very least, the pelvis is the bone that is easiest to see this information.

Jiang Yuan only said: "The pelvis of this corpse is indeed somewhat confusing, but the corpse is complete. Therefore, referring to the conditions of the rib cartilage and sternum, 35 years old is more accurate."

Tao Yajie also knew a little about anthropology, but not much. When listening to Jiang Yuan's talk, she just nodded. After all, it was important to identify the age of the deceased, but whether he was 35 or 34 years old was actually not that important. In this regard, archaeology was not as rigorous as criminal investigation.

However, this simple exchange also gave Tao Yajie a clearer understanding of Jiang Yuan.

Tao Yajie took a drink from her glass and said, "Let's go back to school later. I'll introduce you to the experts in the expert group. I'm sure you'll have a lot to talk about."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan replied simply.

A few people had something on their mind, so they just ate their meal and returned to school.

Shannan University has a large campus, but the Archaeology Department is a small department under the School of Social Sciences, with only a few professors. Tao Yajie led a group of people into the teaching building, and after just a few greetings, many students and teachers came over after hearing the news.

The Tomb of King Yong is the biggest news in the Archaeology Department recently, and Jiang Yuan has also been on several news reports. The combination of the two has aroused great interest among the students in the Archaeology Department.

"This is Professor Sun."

"Professor Li."

"professor Zhang."

Tao Yajie introduced several people in the office one by one, and then said: "We have only a few members of our expert group now. Can Forensic Doctor Jiang tell us a few words?"

"Let's get started." Jiang Yuan was used to working outside the company. Under the gaze of several professors, he stood up and walked a few steps casually, picked a position he liked, and said, "I'm good at determining the time of death. Why don't I do this first?"

"Great, I was going to say that..." Tao Yajie told a few people what happened during dinner today, and then smiled and said, "If Forensic Doctor Jiang can maintain his previous speed, our work progress can be greatly accelerated."

Jiang Yuan nodded and said to Wang Chuanxing, "Put it up."

Wang Chuanxing silently followed the work flow of the murder case and made a phone call. In less than a quarter of an hour, the police officers who had been prepared brought eight notebooks from the car in front of the building.

Wang Chuanxing and others unfolded their notebooks on the spot, connected them to the printer in the office, and started printing photos.

Several students were also directed by Wang Chuanxing. For example, Wang Weiqing, the president of the Archaeological Society, was pointed out for standing too close, and then began his career of taking care of photos.

As for the professors, they were dumbfounded.

They do have graduate students, doctoral students or undergraduates who are temporarily assigned to work, but the discipline of college students is not on the same level as that of police officers, and the same is true for their execution.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan's men acted decisively and quickly, setting up the computer in minutes. Under the guidance of a member of the research team, they classified the photos of the corpses.

Jiang Yuan waited for a while, and after the first batch of corpses were sorted out, he sat in front of the computer, found a pen and paper, and took on-site measurements, marked them, and drew conclusions.

Just like at the dining table, Jiang Yuan can give a result in about ten seconds, or at most several dozen seconds.

The experts present were all stunned.

Is it so easy to judge age? Impossible!

Several people came forward at the same time, ready to take a closer look at Jiang Yuan's judgment process and then talk to him about it.
