Chapter 908 Skeletons
Shannan University.
At the school gate, members of the Archaeological Association gathered together, waiting for Jiang Yuan's arrival.
The Archaeological Association is mainly composed of activists from the Archeology Department, but there are also a few people from other departments who are relatively professional enthusiasts. Everyone has heard of Jiang Yuan's name. At this time, they were chatting in low voices. exchanging information.
The leader, Wang Weiqing, smiled and enlivened the atmosphere and said: "When Master Jiang Yuan arrives, everyone can ask a few gossips. By the way, do we want to think about what questions we should ask when the people arrive? Everyone What do you want to ask?"
The association members who came today were all curious and interested in this aspect. Several of them immediately started thinking and talking:
"Can you tell me about their case? I saw the news before, and it seems that the recent bombing was all done by Jiang Yuan and the others."
"You are talking about the bombing in Meiyang City. This bombing is not interesting. They solved the case by searching the floor, which is the method of criminal investigation. The body was not even properly autopsyed, let alone the techniques of forensic anthropology. , it’s of little use.”
"Why don't you use it? It's such a waste. Maybe the case will be solved once the body is found."
"Maybe it's because forensic anthropology is too complicated and tiring to use. A lot of people died in the bombing in Meiyang City. The corpses were probably blown to pieces and scattered all over the floor. We need to do forensic anthropology on them all." I don’t know how long it will take.”
"There are more corpses in King Yong's tomb. Is Jiang Yuan willing to spend time to do this? He has solved several cases in a few months. Will he accompany us to dig a big tomb?"
As soon as this last sentence was said, a group of people from the Archaeological Association fell silent.
Wang Weiqing coughed twice and said, "Since Jiang Yuan is willing to come, he must be interested. Right?"
He asked Jiang Qiansi.
Jiang Qiansi had been staring at Wang Weiqing just now. She only felt that Wang Weiqing's long legs, clean face, and especially clean fingers were fascinating.
But Wang Weiqing's sudden question was difficult for Jiang Qiansi to answer.
She thought again and again, and whispered: "Brother Jiang Yuan is usually very busy. When he came back from Malaysia this time, the Malaysian police ordered a business jet for him, just to save time. So, does he have time? Looking at King Yong’s tomb, I can’t say for sure. But he should be willing to learn about it.”
At this time, a girl next to him who was also staring at Wang Weiqing said sourly: "Business class will not arrive earlier than economy class."
"It's a business jet, not business class." Jiang Qian thought that she was a child of a demolished family, so she didn't like this argument. She said calmly: "Separate security check, fly by yourself, choose multiple routes, of course you can arrive earlier than the economy class."
The girl from the Archaeological Association next to her frowned: "The police should be good policemen and engage in these enjoyable things. Sooner or later..."
"Zhang Jiao." Wang Weiqing interrupted him and said: "I am from Jiangcun, and the Malaysian police provided me with the business jet. It is not for my own enjoyment..."
"I know. I just think that the Malaysian police department is rich, but it turns out that he is rich and valuable." Zhang Jiao felt a little more excited. She couldn't stand Jiang Qiansi, but she was a rich woman who didn't know the hardships of the world and relied on the demolition of her family, so there was no need to get used to her.
Wang Weiqing frowned and was about to say something when a PV stopped in front of him.
After the PV, there was another PV and a car, and then people started to leave.
"Brother!" Jiang Qiansi shouted and ran to a tall young man who got out of the car in front.
"Hey, you're not late." Jiang Yuan greeted with a smile.
"How could it be? We are early." Wang Weiqing also hurried forward to say hello in a conventional manner, and introduced himself: "Teacher Jiang, I am Wang Weiqing, a graduate student in the Department of Archeology of Shannan University, and my teacher is Tao Yajie. Welcome. Come to Shannan University."
"Oh, hello." Jiang Yuan shook hands with Wang Weiqing and said, "I brought some colleagues and friends here. Mainly because I have recently solved some drug trafficking cases, organized crimes, and angle cases. The leader is worried that someone will retaliate, so let us try our best to act together. These are Mu Zhiyang, Wang Chuanxing, Tang Jia and Gao Yuyan."
Jiang Yuan introduced the police officers who came with him one by one.
The archeology students standing opposite were listening casually. Words like "drug trafficking", "organized crime" and "bevel" passed through their minds inexplicably, and they suddenly became awe-inspiring.
Wang Weiqing nodded repeatedly.
At this time, Wu Jun, Wang Zhong, Miao Ruixiang and others in another car also got out of the car. Then there were the criminal policemen from the Changyang City Bureau in the last car.
After finally waiting for Jiang Yuan to come to Changyang City, Yu Wenshu naturally had to send someone to accompany him.
Jiang Yuan took advantage of the situation and introduced: "Here are my master and my brothers, who are also forensic doctors. They are also coming to take a look..."
Wu Jun and others nodded with smiles, all with the warm faces typical of old detectives.
Under the temperament of the old detective, the students present responded positively: "Welcome, welcome."
Wang Weiqing praised: "Jiang Forensic Doctor's brothers and sisters are rare and ready to fight. Professor and others will be very happy when they hear about it. Oh, by the way, my teacher has booked a private room here. Let's go and eat together first. A meal…”
Jiang Yuan and others did not refuse. A group of people formed a mighty team and went straight to the restaurant next to them.
Wang Weiqing sent an urgent text message to the teacher to inform the number of people arriving, and then asked the juniors in the group to quickly add another table to the large box.
Wang Weiqing's mentor Tao Yajie is the first archeology lady in Shannan Province. She has just turned 50 this year. She is exquisitely dressed and dressed in a fragrant style, which can be called elegant and noble.
After some socializing, a few drinks, and getting to know each other's personalities, Tao Yajie took out a few photos, then smiled and said: "I brought a few photos of the corpses taken in King Yong's tomb, which are suitable for dinner. see?"
"I can." Jiang Yuan smiled and pushed away the dishes in front of him.
Tao Yajie then handed the photo to Jiang Yuan.
There are multiple photos. In addition to full body shots, there are also some close-ups of the skull, sternum, pelvis and leg bones. There are only a few photos of the excavation, and the rest are of the cleaned bones, placed on the dissecting bed, with rulers next to most of the bones.
This is a very academic approach. In theory, other scholars can also understand most of the conditions of the bones through these photos.
Jiang Yuan looked at them one by one, then slowly placed them in front of him, and finally counted them, there were 17 in total.
Jiang Yuan picked up a big piece of elbow and ate it, then took another glass and drank a glass of wine with Tao Yajie, and said, "Professor Tao, what part of the work do you want me to do?"
Tao Yajie said seriously: "Jiang Yuan, the tomb of King Yong we discovered this time is probably the largest archaeological project in Shannan Province in the past ten years. Especially since there are many skeletons in the tomb, and there are also suspected victims... I think this is also a rare and good opportunity for anthropology. If possible, I hope you can take over the identification of part of the skeletons. This may take you several months, but we should be able to produce A very good paper…”
"Have all the bones been excavated?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"Basically everything has been excavated, and the amount is relatively large. According to our statistics, there should be 23 corpses."
Jiang Yuan smiled: "It shouldn't take a few months..."
"Huh?" Tao Yajie didn't understand.
Jiang Yuan waved his hand: "Okay, then I'll join."
Jiang Yuan is now LV3 in Forensic Anthropology, which is already at the level of a provincial expert, and it is not an expert level for a weak archaeological province like Shannan Province. If necessary, Jiang Yuan can give Forensic Anthropology Skill 1 at any time. Considering that forensic anthropology is extremely difficult to learn and practice, LV4's forensic anthropology should be at the level of top domestic experts.
Based on Jiang Yuan's understanding of anthropology and the photos in front of him, Jiang Yuan didn't think that the work related to King Yong's Tomb would take several months - if it did, it would mean a bigger discovery!
Tao Yajie was quite happy to see Jiang Yuan so cheerful.
She also often cooperates with experts from inside and outside the province. This time, because the Tomb of King Yong is rare, she hopes to be able to preside over the project to the greatest extent, so she tends to find some young scholars or outsiders like Jiang Yuan. .
Of course, Jiang Yuan, who is young and an outsider, is the most suitable.
As for the technical aspect…
Tao Yajie asked directly: "Forensic Doctor Jiang, if you were asked to determine the age of death of these bones, how long would it take you?"
Jiang Yuan pondered for a few seconds and said: "20."
"20 days?"
"19, 17, 35, 21..." Jiang Yuan said and motioned to Mu Zhiyang to record it, and then said to Tao Yajie: "I am talking about the age of the bones when they died, from left to right..."
