Captain Li came back very quickly. I don't know what method he used. He was fine when he went out, but when he came back, his hair was messy and there was a lot of white dust on his originally neat coat.

It’s like... I just got back from somewhere.

However, Bai Nuo and Liu Yanan cleverly pretended not to notice Captain Li's embarrassment and just made sure they could take action.

"I need some clay. I wonder what kind we have here? For example, ceramic clay used in ceramic factories, and paper mills should also have some clay with better viscosity. If it's really hard to find, yellow mud or Guanyin clay will also work."

Anyway, it doesn't take a long time to maintain the strength. If it's a second choice, Bai Nuo won't be picky, as long as he can complete the task.

"We don't have a ceramics factory or a paper mill in Kaiyuan City, but we do have a brick and tile factory. I'll go ask there first. If that doesn't work, I'll go to the countryside and get some yellow mud and Guanyin soil. That's not difficult."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Captain Li. Try to get it to me before tomorrow morning."

"Comrade Bai is so polite. We should thank you. Don't worry, just stay here. If you need anything, just ask Lao Qiu. We'll take people to find clay right away."

Captain Li understood the principle that everyone has their own expertise. Although he found Bai Nuo's request strange, he did not ask too many questions. After all, the girl was in their bureau and Lao Qiu was by her side, so they did not have to worry about anyone else. As long as he could help the girl to make the portrait, it would be the greatest help to them.

Captain Li confirmed that clay was all that was needed, then turned around and walked out quickly.

Bai Nuo borrowed a white coat from Forensic Doctor Qiu, put on a pair of new forensic gloves, borrowed a set of dissection tools from Forensic Doctor Qiu, and started working.

She held one of the heads and placed it on a waterproof cloth. She turned around, dragged a chair over and sat down. Holding a sharp scalpel in her hand, she began to scrape off the black charred part of the head bit by bit.

This job cannot be rushed. It needs to be scraped bit by bit along the lines of the skin. And you cannot scrape off several layers of skin at once. The saying "slow work makes fine work" is particularly applicable here.

Scrape off the skin and flesh layer by layer to find out the texture lines that can still be seen under the skin and flesh, and then follow these texture lines to find the affected points of the facial texture, so as to judge the original thickness of the face.

As a mature forensic doctor, Qiu's daily work involves dealing with all kinds of corpses, and he is accustomed to it.

However, when he saw with his own eyes a little girl of sixteen or seventeen holding a scalpel, fixing a charred human head with one hand, and scraping down the burnt flesh bit by bit, he couldn't help but shudder.

This……

How many heads must he have shaved to become so skilled?

"Comrade Liu, could you please tell me the real age of Comrade Bai?" Forensic Doctor Qiu comforted himself in his heart. What if the girl was just a little petite and looked younger? She might actually be 25 or 26 years old and an experienced technician in the public security department.

Liu Yanan looked over expressionlessly, and lightly glanced at the forensic doctor's expression. Not finding anything strange or unusual, he replied, "Nono is sixteen years old this year. What's wrong?"

"He's really sixteen!" Forensic Doctor Qiu looked doubtful, his mouth opened in shock and confusion, and finally shook his head silently: "No, it's okay. I just think Comrade Bai is so young, not only is he an excellent painter, but he's also so brave. I really admire him."

Liu Yanan turned her head to look at the little girl who was seriously scraping the bones, pursed her lips, and in order to prevent others from thinking that her sister was a little pervert, she gave a half-true and half-false explanation.

"Nono's parents were both martyrs who died on the battlefield. Her family is full of loyal and brave people. She grew up in a military compound. In the early years, there were constant wars both inside and outside the country. She often saw many injured uncles and aunts, so she was naturally braver than girls from ordinary families.

Later, I learned painting from my elders. I heard that only by interacting with more people can one paint a wider range of life: the vulgar, the horrific, the mutilated, the living, the dead. She must have seen a lot of these, so a few burnt heads certainly wouldn't scare her.

"So that's how it is!" After hearing this, the awkward feeling in Forensic Doctor Qiu's heart instantly disappeared, and what remained was full of awe.

The children of soldiers are orphans of martyrs, and the elders in their family are even more loyal and brave. They have been exposed to various soldiers who have suffered injuries in battle since childhood. Naturally, their courage and vision are different from those of girls from ordinary families.

Liu Yanan glanced at the forensic doctor who was full of admiration, then silently turned her head to look to the other side. She was afraid that she could not control her expression.

This guy really believed it!

How could she know why her best friend's godsister, who looked so delicate and gentle, was so bold? However, she had read Bai Nuo's information. Her parents were martyrs. Her father was from the Bai family in Guangdong Province, and her mother was from the Wei family in Shanghai. Both families were full of loyal martyrs, so what she said was not a lie, it was just not that detailed.

As for the rest, it was pure nonsense, but it was reasonable. At least it wouldn't make the people in this branch think Bai Nuo's behavior was strange.

Liu Yanan knows the criminal police too well. It is not a good thing to arouse their curiosity. They may not have time to think about it carefully now, and then investigate out of curiosity. But once the case is over, who knows if they will remember this matter.

Therefore, it is better to dispel all their curiosity half-truthfully and turn curiosity into respect, and there will be no follow-up.
