I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 403 - 246: Time to Solve the Case!

Yang Ming felt that Li Xiang was a jack of all trades, mastering every skill, so he always had the ability to handle special situations.

Li Xiang was his role model, his goal, and if he learned from Li Xiang, he would surely be as outstanding as him.

"Alright, if you want to learn, I’ll teach you."

Li Xiang shook his head helplessly. Skull Restoration Technique was destined to be phased out. With the rise of Artificial Intelligence, anyone could use software to perform skull restoration.

Learning traditional Skull Restoration Technique now was like joining the Nationalist Party in 1949.

However, seeing Yang Ming’s eager expression, Li Xiang couldn’t bear to refuse him. Otherwise, it would seem as though he was stingy, unwilling to share his knowledge.

"Thank you, Captain Li."

"Well, actually skull restoration is quite simple. First, we mix lime powder... Once all preparations are complete, we begin."

Li Xiang put on gloves, held the skull in his hands, and pointed at the cracks with a tool: "First, observe the direction of the cracks, clean up the debris, and then repair the cracks."

Li Xiang, who enjoyed teaching, put a lot of effort into it. Skull restoration wasn’t technically difficult for him, but for Yang Ming, who was coming into contact with it for the first time, it was overwhelming.

Why repair it this way?

Why this particular shape?

It seemed easy to brush lime to fill gaps, but restoring it to its original state required attention to many details. Understanding how to repair these details required a great familiarity with the skull.

And this experience was exactly what Yang Ming lacked. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

What reassured Li Xiang was that Yang Ming was very patient. He didn’t give up easily despite encountering some difficulties, but rather noted down his shortcomings to later research and self-study to fill the knowledge gap.

Li Xiang worked quickly and completed the skull restoration in just over an hour.

He handed the restored skull to Yang Ming and said, "Go scan the 3D data of this skull and then bring the data back."

"Yes."

Knowing he couldn’t learn it all at once, Yang Ming had to pause his learning and prioritize the task of the special investigation team, using Li Xiang’s words as a guide for his actions.

He immediately executed Li Xiang’s command.

He took the restored skull to be scanned.

After a while, he returned with the skull and the scanned data.

"Captain Li, the data has been scanned. Let me see how powerful this software is."

Upon hearing that Li Xiang was about to demonstrate the software, everyone put down their work and gathered around.

"Has it started?"

"I’m a bit impatient."

Seeing everyone so interested, Li Xiang didn’t stop them. Learning how to use the software would be beneficial.

And so, under everyone’s gaze, he began the demonstration.

Data uploaded, click to generate.

Then the computer’s cooling fan started whirring, and the graphics card began working furiously.

Everyone watched the progress bar on the computer screen intently, feeling a bit tense with each little progress.

"Why is it so slow? How much longer?"

"Looking at this progress bar, it’ll probably take another five minutes."

"Be patient, haste makes waste."

In their waiting, five minutes quickly passed.

The computer screen flickered, and a photo of a woman appeared in the center.

"Wow, it really works."

"The computer drew this? It looks like a real photo."

"The quality is like 4K HD."

"Captain Li is awesome!"

The more impressive the software, the more impressive Li Xiang was.

Such a high-definition image of the deceased was like their previous selfies.

This played a huge role in solving the case.

"The image of the deceased is ready; we can start the first phase of the work."

Holding the printed photo, Li Xiang was quite satisfied.

Computer AI drawing technology was much more powerful than manual drawing in some ways.

Li Xiang couldn’t draw a person as photo-realistically with a brush; that was realism.

There are very skilled realist artists in the world who can paint people indistinguishable from photos, down to every pore and hair. Such paintings sell for millions.

But even those amazing artists couldn’t finish such a painting in just five minutes, could they?

In this regard, computers have an absolute advantage.

After hearing Li Xiang start assigning tasks, everyone quieted down.

"Now, divide the special investigation team into two groups. The first investigation group, with Yang Ming as the team leader, the team members include Li Yue..." Li Xiang named seven people in succession, forming them into a team, and continued:

"You should put this photo into our public security household registration system for an identity match. Start with the local area and surrounding cities and investigate according to the similarity from high to low, screening for possible victim information. Meanwhile, publish a reward online, post the photo, and gather clues from the general public."

"Yes,"

The named special investigation team members had no objections. This method was a clever one; if the software-generated photo closely resembled the victim, it could potentially be matched by the system.

Especially with filtered conditions and narrowed range by entering key criteria.

If they were lucky, they might indeed identify the victim through this comparison.

"What’s a suitable reward?"

As soon as a reward was mentioned, Yang Ming immediately asked.

"For anyone providing useful information, a reward of fifty thousand."

Li Xiang waved grandiosely, offering five thousand right away.
