Chapter 458 Helping to Break the Case "Dr...Dr. Benson, you're here too!"
He didn't dare to call the little girl Skylar Benson, for fear of exposing her identity.
Lamont was a little surprised. Why was Captain Lee more excited to see his sister than to see him?
"Dr. Benson, did you come out to play today?" After he finished speaking, he noticed the man standing next to
Skylar and was almost shocked. "Mr.
Stowe, you're also here..."
"Mm.’’ Martin only nodded lightly and didn't have many expressions.
"Paige, how do you know the time of death is about six months ago?" Lamont asked curiously.
"When the corpse is soaked in water for more than three months, there will be a layer of white wax-like substance
on the surface of the corpse, also known as corpse wax."
There was a calmness in Paige's eyes as she continued, "It will take about half a year for an adult's corpse to form
corpse wax. With the weather, we can roughly deduce the time."
However, the time of death was far from enough, because the police wanted to know the height and age of this
person to compare with the missing person database and find clues.
"Paige, how tall do you think he is?" Lamont came to Paige and asked.
"Around 1.6 meters." Paige analyzed as she looked at the body before her. "When they're of age, their height will
decrease by 1.6mm every year, and every 20 years, it will decrease by 0.1cm. When an adult man is between 40
and 60 years old, his height will decrease by 1.6cm, and when they're between 60 and 69 years old, their height will
be 1.5kg shorter than theirs."
Paige looked at the long bones of the deceased, so she roughly deduced that the height of the deceased was about
1.6 meters.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe people around her seemed to be looking at a myth, looking at this talking girl in disbelief.
As for the age of the deceased...
Paige stepped forward and retrieved a pair of gloves from Captain Lee. After putting them on, she picked up a pair
of gloves in front of everyone.
The onlookers were stunned. Who on earth was this girl? She even dared to take a copy...
The most important thing was that she looked very serious as if she was an expert.
Lamont also put on his gloves and came to his sister's side. He took the cylinder and examined it. "You want to find
clues through the slits in the skull and arrow-shaped ones?"
"Yes." Paige looked at the report. "I think the deceased should be about 35 to 40 years old."
This time, everyone was stunned. Even Captain Lee couldn't help but ask, "How do you know?"
"Look, the place on the skull is an arrow-shaped crack. The healing of the arrow-shaped crack starts at 22 years old
and ends at 35 years old. In addition, this place is a pillow bone. The gap between the pillow bone and the roof bone
is similar to a human-shaped crack. The human-shaped crack starts at 26 years old and ends at 47 years old.
According to his third grinding teeth, it can be inferred that the deceased is between 35 and 40 years old."
Captain Lee and his subordinates didn't expect to find clues about the victim's age, height, and so on so quickly.
At this time, Lamont said, "The DNA can be extracted from the ribs of the deceased. Compared with the DNA of the
missing family members, I believe it will be found soon."
"Thank you, thank you so much, Mr. Lusk and Dr. Benson!" Captain Lee didn't expect the case to go so smoothly
today. He was really lucky to meet two big shots at once.
Lamont nodded and added, "Besides, there is no sign of fighting on his body or limbs, so we can deduce that it was
done by an acquaintance. As for who it was, that soaked phone will give you an answer."
"Thank you so much for your reminder, Dr.Lusk."
This clue was very important for the police to handle the case. Captain Lee thanked them repeatedly. Only then did
Paige and Lamont take off their gloves, disinfect their hands, and leave the scene first.
People in the crowd were talking about them, and most of them were curious about who she was.
"Could the two of them be medical examiner students?"
He looked very young, like a married couple...
"They can't be a couple, can they?"
Hearing the word couple, Martin turned back to look at the crowd. This glance scared the crowd into silence.
This cold-faced gentleman and that lady must be a couple...
The warning look in his eyes was too obvious...
Because of this murder case, there were fewer tourists. After the three of them went up the mountain by bus, they
walked on the glass plankway with few people around them.
"Lamont, I didn't expect you to be afraid of ghosts but not the body." Paige found it funny. This contrast was simply
too cute.
"What are you talking about? I'm not afraid of anything! It was an accident last night." Lamont was still trying to
save his reputation. "As for you, you are still so young. You are not afraid of anyone."
Paige was so bold.
"Because she's seen too much and got used to it." Martin couldn't help but add.
He still remembered that Paige had said that she had experienced a lot of terrible things in the triangular area.
Each of them was enough to sharpen her heart and make her stronger...
Lamont did not know about her past and thought that Martin was referring to the girl who was young and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmknowledgeable.
He nodded. Indeed, he had never seen anyone more excellent than Paige. She held the medical certificate with a
calm face. Her psychological quality and medical level were indeed unparalleled in the world.
"The living may be lying, but the deceased won't. Every part of the body of the deceased is honest." Paige faintly
said, "To speak the truth for the deceased is the order of all medical examiners. So, Lamont, your profession is very
sacred and amazing."
Hearing his sister's praise, Lamont was a little surprised. One must know that his mother had disliked him many
times for his profession. This was because the body he faced were charred, rotten, broken, and smelly...
Mother felt that it was too scary, too dangerous, and too stressful. It would affect his mental health...
However, letting the dead rest in peace, comforting their families, and justice was exactly what medical examiners
needed to do.
A forensic expert needed to eliminate all interference and find the only truth for the deceased. Every inference
would affect the direction of the investigation of the case.
Sometimes when he fell asleep at night, he would have nightmares and dreams of all kinds of bloody scenes...
"What do you think of this job?" Lamont asked.
Nodding her head, Paige replied, "I've been a doctor since young. I've saved the living, and you've helped the dead.
We're all trying to uphold justice in our own ways."
We all silently contributed our meager strength to society.
Lamont looked at his younger sister with a smile. He suddenly felt that she was much more outstanding than her
peers. If it were Patricia, she would probably be so scared that she would hide behind him. She would only want to
leave the scene as soon as possible...
However, Paige used her calmness and professional knowledge to seek justice for the deceased.
"Martin, did you see that? My sister is so outstanding. If you dare to mistreat her in this life, I'll definitely teach you a
lesson."
