Chapter 822 Draw an Image of the Dead First

"Captain Jiang, let's sit here.

Zhong Renlong took Jiang Yuan to a small shop. The store is just a rectangular facade room with a row of facade rooms. There are several sets of tables and chairs inside, mainly for catering. There are also tables and chairs at the door and some products to attract customers, such as this store. There are several baskets of durians piled outside, and people passing by can tell what they are selling at a glance.

This kind of roadside store looks similar to the street stores in the suburbs of China in the 2000s or the early 10s. The buildings are made of prefabricated panels and are square and built in the cheapest way. I started doing business with minimal investment, and the selling points were all about the food and location.

Zhong Renlong led Jiang Yuan and others to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Durian shops are like this, because they smell so bad, they can't be opened in big shopping malls or hotels."

"It's pretty good." Jiang Yuan was from the county town, and there were many shops like this that he went to before going to college.

Zhong Renlong quickly waved to the boss, asked a few questions, and then went to the stall to select durians himself.

Wang Chuanxing followed curiously, and after a while, he brought back a plate of durians.

"Now I know that when choosing durians, you have to choose ones that don't open your mouth!" Wang Chuanxing said with annoyance, "I bought the wrong ones before."

"Malaysia produces durian. Everyone is familiar with durian, and of course the requirements are also high." Zhong Renlong said, while introducing: "I first got the Musang King and Black Thorn, and this golden phoenix durian, which should be rare abroad. Yes, it tastes slightly alcoholic and has a strong aroma. Please give it a try.”

Everyone chatted and laughed as they each took durians and ate them.

When eating durian in Malaysia or Thailand, an intuitive feeling for Chinese people is that the outer layer of durian meat originally has a thin layer of skin. When you bite it with your teeth, you will feel like you have broken through this extremely thin skin.

This difference is like a particularly fresh cherry that will have a crisp texture, but after being stored for a long time, it will only be sweet and glutinous.

Jiang Yuan was not very interested in durians. He held a durian in one hand and opened a file with the other, and started to read it briefly.

It's actually quite simple for him to solve the case. He just depends on the evidence. As long as the evidence is suitable, he will investigate and follow the clues. Today's criminal police investigations are actually basically this model. It's not that they don't like sophisticated detective techniques, but forward investigations are less prone to mistakes.

In contrast, reasoning has too high requirements for cases, especially detective novels in the early years, which often analyze the words of witnesses or suspects word for word. It is pitiful that modern people sometimes do not tell the truth. , and the interrogation transcript... at least it is not recorded word for word, but a restatement of the interrogator's language by the interrogating police based on their own abilities...

It can only be said that the Chinese language is broad and profound, and since it is born to express small words and great ideas, it has its own filters for life.

Of course, the Malaysian case is in Bahasa Malaysia, and the interrogation mode is quite different, but when it comes to using oral confession as the basis for solving the case, the local dog has to shake its head.

"Is this photo of the victim? Was it taken in the forensic autopsy room?" Jiang Yuan briefly read the text and then looked at the photos attached to the file.

Zhong Renlong glanced sideways and nodded: "This is a case of an unknown corpse. The victim was robbed in an alley, and all his valuables and wallet were stolen. In the end, the identity of the body was not determined, so the case ended. On hold.”

Mu Zhiyang, who was eating durians crazily, couldn't help but pause for a moment and said in surprise: "There are still such fierce robbers in the capital?"

Even in Changyang City, such robbers are not common anymore. In fact, robberies are rare nowadays, especially in traditional urban centers where surveillance is dense and traditional violent criminals don't like to wander there.

Naturally, Malaysia does not have such monitoring conditions. Zhong Renlong just nodded solemnly: "The situation in some areas of Malaysia is still relatively complicated. Because it is difficult to confirm the identity of the victim and there are no witnesses at the scene, the investigation progress is slow. "

In fact, it can't be considered slow. Basically, the detection is not progressing.

Jiang Yuan was not here to evaluate the other party's police execution. He smiled and said: "I haven't looked at this case in detail, but I should be able to draw the face of the deceased. Let's see if you can identify the deceased by his appearance." identity of?"

The deceased suffered violent treatment during his lifetime. First, his face became swollen, which is commonly known as a bruised nose and face, and then he was beaten to death.

In this case, the police do not know what the deceased looked like in life. When DNA and fingerprint searches are fruitless, the source of the body can theoretically only be determined through methods such as forensic anthropology.

Jiang Yuan said it could be done, and Zhong Renlong was naturally surprised and hurriedly said: "It would be great if you can confirm the appearance. What do you want us to do?"

"Let's find some more photos. It's best to take photos of the scene, that is, photos of a short time of death. When we moved into the autopsy room, several hours had passed." Jiang Yuan was going to use forensic sketches. Problem solved.

He had obtained the forensic sketch of LV6 through a previous mission, which he could use here.

In contrast, Jiang Yuan had no use for forensic sketches in China. If a similar case occurs in China, first of all, the probability of a match between DNA and fingerprints will be much greater. Secondly, even if surveillance cannot capture the scene, there is a high probability that a picture of the victim will be found if the detective traces it back.

This means that only cases with backlogs or corpse dumping will encounter situations where the source of the corpse cannot be confirmed. When the corpse reaches this level, forensic sketches are no longer effective, and the only way to solve the problem is to rely on forensic anthropology. The difference between the two is that forensic sketches can deal with refrigerated corpses, but if they enter a state of decay, then the bones can only be boiled.

On the other hand, forensic sketches are similar to skull reconstruction, and are also a criminal investigation art. They have high requirements for users and a narrow scope of use. At the same time, they are eroded by various high-tech means. Not only are there fewer and fewer people who master this technology, but there are also few people who are willing to invest time and energy to improve this technology.

Malaysia either does not have the corresponding talent reserves or is too busy.

In fact, a group of such talents were trained in the country in the early years, but after entering 2000, this technology has rarely been heard of.

Zhong Renlong hurried to find photos according to Jiang Yuan's request. He brought out several files this time, which contained only limited information.

Jiang Yuan then took another piece of durian and tasted it carefully, but he could not taste any obvious difference. He could only say that they were all delicious, and he would get sick of them if he ate too much.

Half an hour later, Zhong Renlong hurried over with a local policeman and introduced him to Jiang Yuan. It was the deputy police chief Kamarudin who was in charge of the case. He wore a duckbill police cap and a five-pointed star on his shoulder strap.

The deputy police chief gave Jiang Yuan a stack of photos and took out a pad, saying, "I still have the video footage of the scene here, and you can also see some of the images when the deceased was found."

"Turn it up and have a look." Jiang Yuan first said to Wang Chuanxing, then wiped his hands and looked through the stack of photos one by one.

At this time, Wang Chuanxing opened the video with the help of Deputy Police Chief Kamarudin and tuned to the part of the victim's appearance.

Jiang Yuan took out a drawing board and a pencil from his bag and began to sketch the lines on the spot.

Jiang Yuan had never demonstrated this skill before, which aroused the curiosity of Wang Chuanxing and others. Several people, including Zhong Renlong and the deputy police chief, could not help but watch while eating durian.

Deputy police chief Kamarudin straightened his chest and raised his head, looking at Jiang Yuan's drawing board with a little scrutiny. He was a little expectant in his heart, but also prepared for disappointment.

He had heard of several cases that Jiang Yuan had solved before, but rumors were rumors, and the cases would not be solved automatically because of the arrival of the detective.

And the detective - Kamarudin had actually come into contact with many detectives. The Malaysian police department has cooperated a lot with neighboring countries. He has seen detectives from many countries and places, and they do not always bring surprises.

Jiang Yuan drew the pencil without distraction.

Level 6 forensic sketching is not only full in sketching realism, but also in forensic related technologies.

To laymen, Jiang Yuan's first few strokes were just a few lines, but Jiang Yuan's strokes were very fast. In just half a minute, the outline of a face came out.

One good thing about realistic sketches is that ordinary people can tell whether the drawing is good or not, that is, whether the drawing is like the person or not. This may be what experts don't like.

But in the field of forensic sketches, likeness is the core.

And ordinary people have a scale in their hearts to measure how difficult it is to draw a likeness.

Soon, everyone stopped eating durian.

On Jiang Yuan's drawing board, a head portrait that was clearer than a photo and fully expressed the characteristics of the facial features was already in sight.

"I haven't investigated the case in depth yet. Let me draw an image of the deceased first. See if you can confirm the source of the body." Jiang Yuan took a few photos with his mobile phone and handed the sketch on the drawing board to the deputy police chief Kamarudin.

Kamarudin quickly bent down and held the paper sketch with both hands.
