Chapter 754: Simplicity

The beautiful little shrubs, in the gloomy woods, can enjoy a little sunshine and grow to what they are today.

It is this little sunshine that makes it exposed to the drone and faces huge risks.

Click.

The two criminal police raised their hoes and cut off the young shrubs without any hesitation.

It was not to protect the plants. The botanists present did not ask for transplantation. The trees in the forest are full. If you make way, there will be no place for you.

Woof.

The police dog barked twice again, as if to encourage.

The criminal police swinging the hoe looked back, smiled and shook his head, and began to swing the hoe wildly.

He didn't seem to be very good at farm work. After more than ten strokes, he only hoeed the part of the shrubs left outside. He worked for three or four minutes before he dug a shallow pit on the surface. If there was no water seepage, it could only hold two pisses. Even if it was based on the standard of pouring wine, four pisses of men would be enough.

"It's a bit tiring. This is not a job that can be done by one person." The criminal policeman who was swinging the hoe concluded and handed the hoe to another criminal policeman behind him.

The latter was wearing gloves and was ready, and he swung the hoe silently.

When tired, change again, and when tired, change again. After the scope is expanded, another person took a shovel and started to shovel the soil.

The whole process seemed a bit long because of its boredom, but the scholars who watched the scene through the camera did not find it boring.

This place, this location was found by Jiang Yuan... and everyone's participation using forensic botany technology.

For botanists, this is equivalent to an expansion of the field. Of course, the field has actually been expanded in the 1980s, but what is really shown to everyone is Jiang Yuan's current level.

Qiao Shengli sat next to her mentor Su Lei, looking at the serious looks of the big guys around her, and couldn't help whispering: "It feels so close, what if the body can't be found?"

"What if you can't get the results when you do the experiment?" Su Lei asked back?

Qiao Shengli thought for a moment and said, "Just chill?"

"It's about the same." Su Lei glared at her apprentice. He didn't notice Qiao Shengli during the interview, but now he has to listen to her stupid words that have not been beaten by society.

Qiao Shengli felt a little bored, and then said, "If the body is found, wouldn't it be awesome?"

"Well, with so many botanists, there must be someone who is interested in forensic botany." Su Lei herself is one of the scholars interested in this area, and as far as the current situation is concerned, it is not a bad thing that more people are interested.

At least, someone has cited your published article!

Qiao Shengli's thoughts were not so academic. She fantasized: "If forensic botany is really as common as DNA, how many jobs will be provided? In the future, police stations will rush to invite botanical experts. It will be convenient for everyone to find a job. Graduates of botany undergraduates can work as technicians in police stations. It's great."

Su Lei was happy: "Just thinking about good things. DNA can be popularized. First of all, we need to popularize instruments such as PCR. What can we popularize in botany? Microscopes? It all depends on people to pick up pollen... Don't you know why Jiang Yuan performed corpse digging for everyone?"

Qiao Shengli was stunned: "He wanted to recruit people to pick up pollen for him?"

"Of course, digging up the body does not count as solving the case. Solving the case still requires botany. Looking at the surface, the forsythia just dug up has grown so thick. If there is a body underneath, it must have been there for at least five years. The case is probably difficult to solve with a body that has been there for so long." Su Lei has followed several cases and is no longer a whiteie who knows nothing.

Qiao Shengli crossed her arms cautiously, looked at Jiang Yuan on the stage, and then looked at the experts and scholars around her, and couldn't help asking: "So, do you think everyone knows Jiang Yuan's idea?"

"I think everyone can guess it."

"Then why are you all here and are you happy to come?"

"Everyone comes here to participate, first of all, you are invited by relevant people. They just ask you to help. If you don't want to, you can refuse the invitation, and they can't do anything to you. Jiang Yuan is willing to perform for everyone, so why not? He uses technology to attract you, clearly and openly, and those who are willing to take the bait will be hooked."

"Instead, it becomes open and aboveboard?"

Su Lei smiled: "Because you still need to invest time to learn, this is also a problem of forensic botany, the specific research content and scope are not clear enough. However, this is also an opportunity. If a model is formed, you can just find it. It's a waste to find experts."

Qiao Shengli pouted. What if she was despised by the tutor? It's just a daily routine.

Su Lei was excited about what she said, but she didn't say anything just by looking at the scholars around her.

There are dividends in the development field. If forensic botany becomes popular, the funding problems of the projects that everyone is crazy about will be solved in a short time. If it is true as Qiao Shengli said, all police officers in the country will need the help of forensic botany, and they don’t need to be at the level of DNA now, just like the trace evidence laboratory, each province will build a laboratory, and there will be countless horizontal projects.

Identification of plants in different provinces and cities, distribution of plants in different provinces and cities, and a larger project to make a digital mark of plants in various places in the province...

"Woof woof."

The sound of a dog barking came from the speaker again.

The policemen wielding shovels also stopped one after another.

"Found something." A policeman leaned over and dug in the soil with his gloved hands, revealing some gray-white.

"Camera closer." He shouted, digging while waiting for his colleagues to pull the camera over.

Soon, after a few blinks, the image of a bone appeared on the projector in the conference room.

The policemen were still digging with their hands, and the exposed bone was 20 to 30 centimeters long.

"Is it human?"

In the conference room, Qi Changye was more anxious than anyone else.

However, when you see a piece of bone, as a professional criminal policeman, you can't just say it is human bone, because whether from experience or mathematics, the probability of encountering a bone is very low.

Poor friends who like to eat vegetarian food and have never seen a white cow leg bone cut in half with a wire saw, salted in tin foil, and baked raw until it sizzles and oozes oil should at least have seen pig leg bones. And these bones are often mistakenly reported as human bones.

As for why you said that there was a body buried in the deep mountains and forests and it was not a human body, why? This is to explore the ratio of psychopaths to murderers.

The botanists present also looked at Jiang Yuan. They were all vegetarians and rarely saw such a vulgar scene.

"Dig out a little more to see the ratio." Jiang Yuan did not tell the result immediately, choosing to be cautious first. The clarity of the camera was not particularly high, and the bones in the soil did not even reveal the whole picture... Jiang Yuan was 90% sure, but why was he in a hurry? This was not a very urgent matter, including the corpse.

As for the curiosity of the botanists present, they just held it in.

Several police officers at the scene all wore gloves, knelt on the ground and dug with their hands, only the police dog trainer did not use them, so as not to stimulate the dog to follow suit.

If the dog's paw was injured, it would be bad.

Soon, another small piece of bone was dug out, and Jiang Yuan said to the microphone on the table: "Well, it is basically confirmed that it is a human corpse. In this case, the first suspected burial location we are looking for is confirmed!"

The tense atmosphere below was instantly released.

Everyone started to discuss loudly or softly.

"Is it because of the murdered corpse?" Someone asked in an unprofessional language.

Jiang Yuan said: "It is likely to involve a criminal case. As for whether it is a murder, we have to go back and see it before we can judge."

"Botany can be used in this way. Although I have read the literature, it is really eye-opening to see it so intuitively." Some scholars also sighed, attracting a round of echoes.

"In general, it is still difficult to find. Finding corpses from the growth environment of plants is not a sufficient and necessary condition."

"You can't look at it this way. Forensic botany is equivalent to a practical discipline. Like today, with the cooperation of police dogs and criminal police's human resources, it doesn't need to be 100% certain."

"That's right. Otherwise, Jiang Yuan would have identified several places. It is impossible for there to be so many corpses in a forest."

The scholars laughed as they spoke.

Qi Changye didn't smile, his face was heavy.

Now he recalled that the address near the plot of land appeared in the report more than once. But he didn't notice the connection.

At this time, another younger doctoral student asked curiously: "Forensic doctor Jiang, how did you recognize that this body is a human body? Because I have learned a little about forensics, it seems difficult to be sure if it is just long bones and a few small bones..."

"The small bones just dug out are finger bones." Jiang Yuan paused, and then said: "There is also a ring in the soil."
