The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective Chapter 672 369: Late-Night Laboratory Skull Reconstruction

Ten minutes later, Jiang An, accompanied by Wang Yang and Chen Biao, slowly walked into the forensic laboratory of Chuan City's criminal investigation team.

As soon as he pushed open the laboratory's door, a strong chemical sll rushed in, with a slightly sharp sting.

However.

Jiang An, Wan, and Zhang Yean were soon captivated by the surrounding environnt.

Looking around, the entire laboratory was so clean that it could reflect images, even the skirting boards in the corners were spotless.

Various instrunts and equipnt were neatly arranged, and the space was unexpectedly spacious.

Wan's eyes were full of amazent as he turned to Mr. Wang, his tone filled with genuine admiration.

"Mr. Wang, you must have invested a lot in this laboratory, right?"

"I reckon that with this scale and configuration, it must have exceeded ten million."

Mr. Wang laughed heartily upon hearing this, sounding a bit proud.

"Haha, ten million?"

"That's not all! Just the renovation of this lab alone cost nearly fifteen million, and that's without counting those precise instrunts."

"If you include the chemical analysis equipnt and gene sequencers, the total investnt would probably exceed thirty million."

Zhang Yean clicked her tongue in amazent and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Truly a big investnt! Our lab in Jiangcheng probably only has about half of that investnt."

Jiang An smiled gently, his tone calm, "Probably around that."

"The funding situation is different in each place; achieving this level is indeed not easy."

Mr. Wang's smile faded slightly, scratching his head with so embarrassnt, his tone much more sincere.

"So, sotis no matter how good the equipnt, you need the talent to operate it."

"We've spent a lot on equipnt, but talent training is indeed our weakness."

"Take this case for example, we have all this equipnt, but when it cos to a tricky major case, there are still too few people who can really step up and show solid skills."

"That's why we had to trouble you to co all this way to support us."

Upon hearing this, Jiang An, Wan, and Zhang Yean exchanged glances, with a mutual understanding in their eyes.

Wan was the first to speak, "Mr. Wang, you're really skilled in complinting people, constantly giving us high praise, making even our Mr. Jiang feel a bit overwheld."

"If the case doesn't get solved in the end, it would be a great embarrassnt after your high regard."

Mr. Wang hurriedly waved his hands, "Please, don't feel pressured!"

"We've long heard about the case-solving prowess of Jiangcheng's criminal investigators."

"In less than four hours since you arrived, you've already found the skull."

"To be honest, though delightful, it's within our expectations—after all, it was your team."

Finally, Mr. Wang remarked with admiration, "With your presence, solving this case is surely just around the corner."

As he spoke, they had reached the elevator.

After pressing the button, the elevator door quickly opened, and they all entered one after another.

As the elevator ascended slowly, the indicator stopped on the 6th floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, they saw two staff mbers in white lab coats standing at the entrance.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Jiang." the two greeted in unison.

Jiang An looked at them, both unfamiliar faces.

Wang Yang imdiately stepped forward to introduce, "These two are our laboratory assistants. They heard you were going to perform the skull reconstruction technique and specifically asked for permission to observe and learn."

"I wonder if Mr. Jiang would be willing to give them this opportunity?"

Jiang An laughed softly at the words, his tone straightforward, "Of course, there's an opportunity!"

"As long as they're willing to learn, they can do so at any ti."

"Let's go! I can have two more helpers this way."

Saying this, the group entered the laboratory.

Instantly, Jiang An's gaze quickly fell upon the workbench—plaster powder, adhesive, a special bucket, various models of art knives...

All sorts of tools were neatly arranged.

Upon seeing this, he felt a sense of familiarity, like eting old friends.

When he was in Jiangcheng, he had restored the facial features of two incomplete corpses using similar tools.

Though the operation manual wasn't beside him, every step of the restoration process was as clear in his mind as if it were engraved there.

Then, Jiang An turned and said, "Please fetch two pairs of gloves, and we can start now."

The assistant quickly walked to the drawer, pulled it open, and handed over two pairs of thick plastic gloves.

Jiang An accepted the gloves and swiftly put them on, his entire deanor instantly becoming focused.

First, he poured water and plaster powder into a container in precise proportions, gently rotating his wrist, allowing the mixture to slowly ripple within the container until fully integrated.

After letting it rest for a mont, he carefully placed the skull inside, moving as delicately as handling a fragile piece of art.

"This step is to allow the mixture to adhere better to the skull's surface, forming the initial mold, and then there will be a secondary shaping."

......

While operating, he lightly explained, both instructing the assistants and organizing his thoughts.

Throughout the process, the laboratory was so quiet that only the faint sounds of the equipnt could be heard.

Everyone held their breath, eyes fixed intently on the workbench, not daring to make a sound.

Wang Yang and Chen Biao, who typically had strong smoking habits, instinctively reached for their pockets but forcibly restrained themselves.

Nobody wanted to miss any details by stepping out for a smoke.
