Disposable jumpsuit, 3M mask, double-layer rubber gloves...

Jiang Yuan was dressed neatly, and when he arrived at the autopsy room, Li Zhen was stunned.

It was like seeing a tightly wrapped body walking.

"I deal with highly decomposed bodies, and I only wear disposable protective clothing." Li Zhen said, "Your Ningtai County is too rich."

Disposable jumpsuits are the clothes that the Bai people wear during the mask period. The purchase price is usually over a hundred yuan per set. They are comfortable to wear and provide strong protection.

Compared to disposable protective clothing, disposable jumpsuits are like being protected by 105 strong men, giving a sense of security.

And disposable protective clothing is like being protected by Sun Erniang...

Because leaders rarely go to the autopsy table, most of the purchases are mainly disposable protective clothing. Only when the leaders are willing to go to the front line, some units will purchase a small amount of disposable jumpsuits for the leaders to use.

Jiang Yuan wore a filtered mask and said in a muffled voice, "I bought it myself, online a few days ago."

"You bought it with your own money?"

"Yes."

"Why?" Li Zhen looked puzzled.

Jiang Yuan glanced at him disdainfully and said, "I don't want corpse fluids to get on me."

"It doesn't matter if it gets on you. What's the big deal?" Li Zhen paused and asked cautiously, "Are you in a relationship?"

Jiang Yuan was also taken aback by the question.

Li Zhen hurriedly said, "You should have told me if you were in a relationship!"

As he spoke, he tried to push Jiang Yuan away, but Jiang Yuan, a young man, was stronger than this gloomy old forensic doctor and couldn't be pushed.

"Let me handle this body. Hey, it's not easy for us forensic doctors to be in a relationship. I remember when I was in a relationship, I would take a shower all day long, afraid that someone would smell something. Because of our profession, several girls introduced by relatives broke up with me because they couldn't accept it."

As he spoke, he suddenly reminisced.

"When I went on a blind date, I met a very beautiful girl. At that time, there happened to be a green corpse, and it was my master who handled it. He tried his best not to let me touch it... In the end, it didn't work out."

"I'm ready, it's okay." Jiang Yuan showed off his gloves and didn't explain that he was single, his hands were fast.

Li Zhen noticed again, "It's actually double-layer rubber gloves? So extravagant..."

He wore plastic gloves inside, similar to the gloves used for eating crayfish. They were cheap and somewhat practical, but uncomfortable.

"I also took two boxes and put them in the cabinet. If you need them, just take them." Jiang Yuan said.

"No need. Disposable things are too expensive to use. No matter how rich a person is, they can't afford to use them like this." Li Zhen shook his head.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Some luxury clothes are disposable. Clothes and pants can't be washed and are thrown away after one use. Swimwear and umbrellas are also not allowed to get wet."

Li Zhen said, "Hmph, they should be invited to make protective clothing."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "They are making them. Prada also makes protective clothing and masks."

"The price of luxury goods?"

"Of course, a mask can sell for over a thousand yuan."

"Sometimes, I really want to open the brains of those luxury goods designers and see what they are thinking." Li Zhen put on his gloves and rubbed his hands. "It's just that our place is too remote and not a tourist destination. It can't attract those designers. Otherwise..."

While he was talking, Jiang Yuan had already arranged the bones in order.

When collecting a skeletonized body, it needs to be recorded and arranged in order. Especially for buried bodies with "grave pits", when a person dies, the bones are still arranged normally. So by collecting the bones in order from top to bottom, it has already reduced the main burden of arranging the body on the autopsy table.

The positions of some small bones need to be paid attention to. For example, the hyoid bone and hand bones are small but important.

If the hyoid bone is broken, it is best, indicating that the cause of death is likely to be strangulation, which is officially called "mechanical asphyxia".

After the hand bones lose their fascial connections, they will also break into 27 pieces, with a total of 54 pieces for both hands. After the muscles and soft tissues disappear, whether there are defensive injuries on the hands can only be judged by the appearance of the bones.

Arranging the bones is like solving a puzzle.

People with OCD might find it satisfying.

While Jiang Yuan was arranging the bones, he also examined them.

Li Zhen, the forensic doctor next to him, also helped and chatted with Jiang Yuan from time to time.

He looked calm, like a forensic doctor who had seen too many bodies, just like a teacher who had seen too many students, calm.

If it were a fresh body, he would have to help turn it over. Turning over here is not a metaphor, but the actual work.

And it is a very heavy task.

As a forensic doctor, when facing a body, it is necessary to turn it over several times.

Literally, it means flipping the body over and over again, like frying an egg.

But the body is heavy, maybe as heavy as flipping an ostrich egg.

This is a very tiring task. When a person dies, they become heavy, but in order to examine the back and observe rigor mortis and blood flow, they have to be turned over repeatedly.

From this point of view, female forensic doctors or older forensic doctors are really tired and exhausted at work.

Just flipping the body alone is enough.

Now it's just bones, which is simple. They are all numbered, and Li Zhen helped hand them over and arrange them, and they were done in a while.

When the body was arranged, Jiang Yuan felt a strange sense of intimacy and was not afraid.

"Sun Jingyi is arranged. Is it her?" Li Zhen didn't even bother to look himself.

He had already witnessed Jiang Yuan's "accomplishments" in forensic anthropology, and not only did he not want to embarrass himself, he even didn't want to waste his brainpower.Regarding this corpse, Jiang Yuan didn't need to exert much mental effort.

He had already reviewed the relevant information before he arrived, made comparisons when collecting the bones, and now he was focusing on verification. He said, "We can basically confirm that this is Sun Jingyi. Sun Jingyi once fractured her shinbone when she fell off a horse during a trip. Look at the left tibia of the corpse, this scar is where it broke."

Li Zhen nodded after looking, saying, "If it's not a coincidence, we can confirm it."

"I asked the family to retake the X-ray and send it to me. Let me find my phone." Jiang Yuan was about to take off his gloves as he spoke.

"Wait!" Li Zhen shouted, opening the door and calling, "Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang, can you help press the phone?"

Turning back, Li Zhen said to Jiang Yuan seriously, "You're using 3M rubber gloves, aren't you? Are you willing to take them off just to check your phone? If I had gloves as good as yours, I'd wash them and take them home to cuddle my wife in sleep!"

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, he thought that Forensic Li didn't have a wife, so he found one later?

He said helplessly, "That's not necessary..."

"Necessary, how is it not necessary? Back in our day, we used to wash and reuse rubber condoms, you know those are thicker than your gloves? If you're not hard enough, it can even pinch you back." Li Zhen was panting, "Now that conditions are better, we can't waste like this, these gloves use a lot of rubber."

"I'll do another check." Jiang Yuan returned to the autopsy table very obediently, picking up the bones, looking at them one by one, to make full use of these two pairs of rubber gloves.

However, apart from the tibia, there were indeed no new discoveries.

Bones that have turned white are, after all, very different from fresh corpses.

Normal forensics conducting pathological examinations on normal fresh corpses rarely have negative results, meaning that forensics can usually find the cause of death. However, it's normal for bones that have turned white to not reveal the cause of death.

Including the current corpse of Sun Jingyi, no bone could provide evidence to clearly determine the cause of death.

"Let's stop here with the corpse, shall we look at the personal belongings?" Jiang Yuan once again sought Li Zhen's opinion.

"Up to you." After Li Zhen responded, he added, "Do you want to take a break? You've been running around all day."

"Let's go through everything first, then decide whether to rest or not." Jiang Yuan was also a bit tired, but he had come all this way to Langgu County, and suffered so much on the old hunting trail, all for this case. He felt it wouldn't be worth it to rest now.

So Li Zhen accompanied him in putting the bones back into the box.

Jiang Yuan continued to pick up the bones in order, and when he picked up the skull, a shiny object rolled into his hand.

Sun Jingyi's legacy: Sketching (lv2) - Sketching was the skill Sun Jingyi practiced the longest. She once wanted to use it to get into university, but later found that the exams for art students were equally strict, and she failed to pass. However, she still enjoyed drawing in her daily life. She liked to go sketching in the mountains with her friends. She loved life, and although her sketching skills were not high, her works gave people a feeling of warmth and familiarity.

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, especially when he heard the words 'warmth and familiarity', he felt inexplicably sad.

He silently thanked Sun Jingyi in his heart, raised his hand, and gently closed the lid of the bone box for her.
