Chapter 842


    "Bell, fancy meeting you here!"


    He dared not call the little girl Dr. Bell, fearing it would give away her identity.


    rk was a bit taken aback. Why was Captain Allen more excited to see his sister than him?


    "Bell, are you out for a day''s fun?" He finished speaking and then noticed the big shot standing next to


    Bell. He nearly choked. "Mr.


    Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    McMillian, you''re here too."


    "Hmm." Romeo merely nodded, not showing much emotion.


    "Be, how did you know that the deceased has been dead for about six months?" rk asked


    curiously.


    "When a body has been in the water for more than three months, a white, wax-like substance forms on


    the surface,monly known as adipocere."


    Arabe''s eyes held a sense of calm and coolness. She continued, "For an adult body, it takes about


    half a year to form adipocere.


    Considering the weather, we can roughly estimate the time."


    However, just determining the time of death was far from enough.


    The police wanted to know the person''s height and age topare with the missing person database


    and find clues.


    "Be, how tall do you think he was?" rk asked, standing next to his sister.


    “About five foot three.’ Arabe looked at the body in front of her and analyzed, "After maturity, a


    person''s height decreases by about 0.02 inches each year. Every 20 years, it decreases by about 0.47


    inches. For adult males between the ages of 40 and 60, their height decreases by about 0.9 inches.


    Between 60 and 69, their height is about 1.9 inches shorter than their peak height."


    Arabe estimated the victim''s height based on the length of his long bones.


    The people around her looked at her in awe, finding it hard to believe this girl who spoke so confidently


    and knowledgeably.


    As for the deceased''s age.


    Arabe moved forward, took a pair of gloves from Captain Allen, put them on, and in front of


    everyone, picked up a skull.


    The onlookers were stunned. Who was this girl who dared to even touch the skull.


    The thing was, she seemed to know what she was doing.


    rk put on gloves, too, and came over to look at the skull. "You''re trying to find clues from the sagittal


    and coronal sutures?"


    "Hmm." Arabe looked at the skull. "I think the deceased''s age should be between 35 and 40."


    Everyone was stunned. Even Captain Allen couldn''t help but ask, "How can you tell?"


    "Look, this part of the skull is the sagittal suture. It starts to fuse at 22 and finishes at 35. This part is


    the ipital bone. The gap between it and the parietal bone looksmbdoid, which is thembdoid


    suture. It starts to fuse at 26 and finishes at 47. In addition, judging by his third mr, we can deduce


    that the deceased was between 35 and 40."


    Captain Allen and his team never expected they would get clues about the deceased''s age and height


    so quickly.


    At that moment, rk suggested, "You can extract DNA from the deceased''s rib andpare it with


    the DNA of the missing persons’ rtives. I believe you''ll find a match soon."


    "Thank you, thank you so much, Professor rk and Ms. Bell!"


    Captain Allen never thought this case would progress so smoothly today. He felt incredibly lucky to run


    into two experts.


    rk nodded, then added, "Also, there are no signs of struggle on his torso and limbs, which suggests


    he was killed by someone he knew. As for the victim, that waterlogged cell phone will give you the


    answer."


    "Thank you so much for the tip, Professor rk."


    This clue was crucial for the police investigation. Captain Allen thanked them repeatedly, and only then


    did Arabe and rk remove their gloves, sterilize their hands, and leave the scene.
