First, the mold is turned over to make a skull model. There are already apprentices here who are ready to start work immediately.
Since there was no plastic available, Su Yuanlao had no choice but to use plaster to turn the mold. Considering that pure plaster molds were inconvenient to use, Mr. Su had someone prepare plaster bandages. Just add a little water to this thing and wrap it around. After wrapping and fixing, use a blade to cut it before it is completely dry, and then use gypsum powder and a blade to trim it slightly before use. It is much easier to use than pure gypsum.
After the mold is built, apply a release agent - the simplest way is even soapy water can be used as a release agent. After it dries, apply it a few times before casting.
An apprentice poured paste-like plaster into the mold, flipped it over briefly, added a few more layers, and after a short wait, the model was ready. After removing the mold and applying the release agent again, you can make a second model - make a few more, one can be used as a backup, and the other can be used by the apprentice to practice.
The old man originally thought that the female forensic doctor was going to "boil the bones and examine the injuries." Unexpectedly, she directed several apprentices to conjure several identical white skeletons like a magic trick! What was even more surprising was what happened next. Forensic Doctor Su asked someone to bring a metal box brought from Lingao, and then took out a square, flat object inside the box. When opened, it looks like a black mirror, I don't know what material it is made of.
The old man saw the female leader lightly touching this strange thing, and it made a whining sound. After a while, the black mirror lit up! …
Su Wan turned on the computer, connected it to the scanner, did a full scan of the skull with the remaining tissue removed, and generated a data model in the computer. Then it’s time to call the parameters. Since he did not know any more information about the deceased, forensic doctor Su could only assume based on the degree of tooth wear and caries of the deceased that he should belong to the wealthy class and that his nutritional status during his lifetime was relatively superior. So a relatively plump set of parameters was selected - of course, compared to the generally obese modern people, it is still a little thinner.
After a while, the old man saw that a skeleton outlined by a dotted line appeared in the lighted mirror. After a while, under the control of the chief, the skeleton slowly grew skin and flesh, and gradually began to look like a human!
"Sacred weapon, sacred weapon! Oh! This..." The Ming Dynasty forensic doctor accidentally dropped the tweezers in his hand to the ground.
Forensic Doctor Su adjusted the modification parameters and felt quite satisfied, so he called to the apprentices around him: "Start, let's get to work!"
Referring to the three-dimensional image generated by the computer, the mixed plastic clay is manually molded bit by bit onto the finished plaster model, while slowly trimming the shape with a scraper. After it is completely molded, a vivid-looking portrait will be ready. ——Of course, there are steps such as coloring, beard staining, and eyebrow shaping in the later stage. If the preliminary investigation reveals that the victim has obvious features such as scars on the face, this can be done at this time to make the reconstruction closer to the original appearance of the character.
After doing it, forensic doctor Su adjusted the parameters. Judging from the bone condition of the skull, the deceased should be a well-nourished person, so she chose several parameters that favored obesity, and made Ming-style beard hairstyle and short hair style respectively.
The avatar that appeared was that of a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby face. Other than that, he had a passerby-like face, with not much out of the ordinary. Although craniofacial reconstruction is amazing, the technical requirements are still very high, and Su Wan himself cannot guarantee that there will be a great similarity - 50 is always possible.
After finishing these tasks, Forensic Doctor Su stretched his slightly numb arms and called to his apprentice: "Go and send these finished products to the task force!"
The task force has already achieved its first breakthrough. The naturalized police officer in charge of the inquiry came and reported that Fu Wen had confessed.
"Bring him here, I want to interrogate him personally." Mu Min said.
Fu Wen had already been slightly tidied up when he was brought there, but looking at his pale complexion and his body that was almost "brought in", one could tell that this person had probably suffered a lot of torture from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and was able to leave half of his body behind. A life is not bad.
Mu Min asked the person to give him a drink of "energetic potion" first, so that he would not be unable to hang up and pass out or simply die when he confessed.
Fu Wen had taken "great medicine" for himself and was said to have been blessed by the "immortal magic" of the "Great Immortal". He not only withstood all kinds of torture, but even the hand-cranked electric shock device could not control him. Even Liu San suspected that he had taken some special "drug" that could numb his nerves. However, he could endure the pain, but he could not endure the fatigue tactics, which lasted for nearly a week of fatigue bombing, coupled with the method of "burning the ghost's crying hole" that solved Bu Liao's attack. Although this torture method may not be more powerful than electric shock, Fu Wen finally collapsed under the continuous fatigue tactics and the strong psychological suggestion of "breaking evil".
Most of the criminals in this world are like this. At first they gritted their teeth and refused to open their mouths, planning to get through it, but once they couldn't bear the punishment any longer, they immediately poured beans out of bamboo tubes and confessed everything they knew in order to get some relief.
"The policy must have been told to you. You should also understand it yourself. The crimes you committed deserved to be cut into pieces and your bones scattered to ashes." Mu Min said slowly, "However, as long as you confess honestly and cooperate with us, If you apprehend the demon, I will allow you not to suffer the pain of being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts."
"Thank you, sir... Madam..." Fu Wen replied weakly.
"Just tell me, let's start from the beginning."
Rich families have been sailing boats on the Pearl River, Xijiang and Beijiang rivers for generations to "photograph flowers" and engage in "picking and cutting" activities. Fu Wenzi inherited his father's business and also did this business. However, in recent years, the world has not been peaceful, the people are poor, and transportation has been blocked. The business of professional beggars who rely on raising deformed people to wander around in search of novelties to gain attention and beg for money is also not easy to do. The demand for “products” is not as high as it used to be. Although the war is in chaos, it is much easier to obtain "notes" than before. But if you can't sell it, it's useless no matter how many "notes" you get.
Fu Wen saw that his business was deteriorating year by year, so he focused his energy on the "Heda Yao" business. This craftsmanship can be regarded as within this industry. Every year on May 5th, wealthy families would take their abducted children to a secret place on the river and kill them as a sacrifice to the evil god. After offering sacrifices to the gods, the whole family eats the meat together and forges the bones into pills - this is the "mixed medicine", and naturally some other things must be added to it.
Depending on what is added to the pills, they can be used to inflict severe punishments, remove illegitimate fetuses, and cure labor syndrome. They are also quite "effective". The rich themselves do not come forward, but secretly sell them to various charlatans, "secret doctors", The three aunts and six wives can also make considerable profits. However, sales of these “miracle drugs” are modest. The biggest benefit is taken away by the middleman again, and the income is not enough.
Just when he felt that the good days in the past were getting into trouble, someone came to him and asked him about a big business in Guangzhou and asked him if he was willing to do it.
Fu Wen naturally had his original intention, and according to the instructions of the visitor, he recruited many "colleagues", including Mao Dajin, who came forward to open an inn, which he also recruited.
As for who was behind this transaction, Fu Wen naturally didn't know. He only knew that the person who came forward was an old man, and everyone called him "Shi Weng".
"Shi Weng?!" Upon hearing this name, Mu Min and Wu Mu quickly exchanged glances.
In many sabotage operations against the Senate, this name appeared occasionally. I didn't expect that his figure would appear here again at this moment!
Mu Min immediately asked: "What does this stone man look like? Where did you see him?"
"I have never seen him, I just heard what they said..."
It turns out that this "stone man" never shows up, and all instructions are delivered through his subordinates.
Although the person does not come forward, his power and wealth are obviously not those of ordinary gentry. Following the orders of "Shi Weng", he contacted Gao Tianshi and opened a Maojia Inn in Guangzhou.
Not long after the inn opened, the people from "Shi Weng" brought in an old Taoist. It was said that he was a mage invited from the Yunnan and Guizhou areas to "combine the great medicine" for a certain gentleman in the court. This man was very arrogant, and Gao Tianshi had to be polite when he saw him, and he was even more polite to Fu Wen. He just pressed for more boys and girls and the corpses of some boys and girls with special birthdays to "make medicine" every day. ". Fu Wen summoned more than a dozen people who were traveling with him, and they had to work tirelessly to collect "herbal medicine" for him.
This person's cruel methods and secretive actions were something Fu Wen had never seen in his life. He saw him killing people every day, cutting their corpses into pieces, refining corpses and boiling them in oil, and feeding some poisonous insects and ghosts... How could Fu Wen, a veteran who eats human flesh and refines human bones, be so cruel and ruthless? My scalp is numb and my back is cold.
Fu Wen knew that his greed for money had gotten him into big trouble - he himself worshiped evil gods, ate human flesh, and refined secret medicine, so he knew something about this. One look and you can tell that this demon is a veteran. "Shi Weng" invited such a number one person to come, and it can't be explained simply by "combining big medicine". Especially in the inn where people kill people to refine their souls almost every day.
As for how many people he killed before and after, Fu Wen could not tell clearly. There were about thirty or forty of them in total, but some of the bones were not left behind by the victims of "shooting flowers", but were stolen by Guandi Temple troops from cemeteries and yizhuangs in various places in the north of the city. They are all deceased people with special birth dates or physiological characteristics. Sometimes in order to find a special skeleton, multiple graves must be dug and many coffins opened. If it weren't for the chaotic situation caused by the change of dynasties, it would be really difficult to do it.
As more and more people were killed, they began to want to retreat. However, the thieves couldn't get off the boat. Everyone was afraid of this sophisticated sorcery, and no one dared to say "go". In addition, Gao Tianshi took good care of her, and the secret was never revealed. Unexpectedly, just when the wizard said "the formation is about to be completed", Gao Chongjiu accidentally broke it when the matter was about to end. Except for a few people who sailed out to "find notes", almost everyone escaped. The army was destroyed. (To be continued.)
