Chapter 982 - 918: The Bell Tolls
"Heard there’s a case that’s hit a dead end?" Huang Qiangmin rushed over as soon as he heard Liu Jinghui had arrived.
"The second body from last time, that female corpse, we still haven’t confirmed the source of the body." Jiang Yuan stood up from behind the computer, stretched his back and continued, "This case is rather troublesome. The body’s decay wasn’t too severe, and after creating the sketch, it turns out the facial recognition came up with nothing. In this scenario, even Skull Restoration Skill is useless."
When Jiang Yuan dares to form the Taihe Working Group, Skull Restoration Skill is a major trump card. Theoretically, as long as the skull is intact, Jiang Yuan can reconstruct the deceased’s probable face before death through Skull Restoration Skill. With the widespread application of facial recognition technology in the country, the difficulty in determining the origin of a body is perhaps only one percent that of a regular police department.
Forensic sketching at LV6 is an additional enhancement to Skull Restoration Skill. The applicability of Skull Restoration Skill is stronger; it’s fine as long as the head remains, regardless of whether the body is decayed or not, and being reduced to a skeleton actually makes it easier. The advantage of forensic sketching is speed; unlike Skull Restoration Skill, which can take weeks of work, a quick few strokes can produce a sketch in ten minutes to an hour. Moreover, the accuracy of these sketches is higher than that of Skull Restoration Skill, and they have a higher success rate when applied to facial recognition."
However, right at the start of theTaihe Working Group, there was a body that couldn’t be recognized, which was somewhat unexpected for Jiang Yuan.
By contrast, Huang Qiangmin felt it was normal, and chuckled, "It’s very common for facial recognition to fail; if you use a drawn sketch instead of a photo, of course the computer won’t recognize it."
Jiang Yuan’s forensic sketching LV6 has been around for a while, but it’s not been used much, which Huang Qiangmin also just barely understood.
Jiang Yuan shook his head firmly and said, "My forensic sketching is well-practiced, almost at the level of footprint identification. It shouldn’t be unrecognizable."
While speaking, Jiang Yuan casually picked up a digital tablet and with a few swift strokes, sketched Huang Qiangmin’s current appearance. It wasn’t lifelike, akin to the feel of an ID photo, but with complete facial features—nose, eyes, ears—neatly captured.
Huang Qiangmin looked on, speechlessly, before then responding with seriousness.
