Chapter 72
There was soft tissue around most parts of the bones, so it wasn’t just white bones They were a horrendous sight, especially the skulls which still had some hair on the ittime did Wan Lu calmed down She sneaked a look at Provincial Governor Liu and saw that his broere twisted, his face filled with disgust as he stood at the corner The anger in her heart flared up, and she thought: you knew this would be nauseating and still dragged er, she didn’t act impulsively and lost her temper with Provincial Governor Liu A yaloves in hands, and after swiftly putting them, she squatted at Ran Yan’s side, “Miss, how do you identify it? Nubi [1] will do it”
Ran Yan was inspecting the degree to which the teeth of a skull have been worn out when she heard Wan Lu’s voice and noticed that it carried traces of anger She couldn’t help turning her head to look at her, faintly curving her lips Turning over the skull, she said: “The joint of the body of the sphenoid bone is separated from the base of the occipital bone before adulthood by a cartilage called sphenobasilar suture, and it heals between the ages of twenty-one to twenty-three After the age of forty, this suture will completely disappear”
Ran Yan pointed at that suture to show it to Wan Lu, “See this, co that it should have at least twenty-one years old or more, but under forty years old After that, it can be inferred froh she continued to explain it, Ran Yan will not really let Wan Lu be responsible for differentiating thereat potential
“Wear attrition refers to the process of chewing food throughout our lives where the incisal and occlusal surfaces of the upper and lower teeth gradually deteriorate” Ran Yan pulled the lower jaw for Wan Lu to carefully see the teeth’s cross-section, “For exareater part of its tip has been eroded, and part of its dentin is exposed, this can be seen at the teeth’s cross-section After the wearing of the teeth surface, the dentin is exposed, and we can then e of this skull should be around thirty-six to forty-five”
Wan Lu asked: “And that skull, should be around thirty-six to forty-five too?”
“Correct” Ran Yan nodded her head satisfied and continued to exa state of other parts of the skull, “Once the other parts of the skeleton are found, the error can be narrowed down to two years”
Feng Sanxun saw Ran Yan reduce the age scope step by step, and decided to join in too, “What if the teeth never wear out, or suffers excessive tooth wear?”
Ran Yan did not avoid the question and, while she set apart the skulls, she explained the different conditions of each one, “If you want to have a thorough understanding, you rasp of the internal structure of the tooth, then you can cut it open and examine it Under norrees: the first level is a slight wear at the tip and edge of the tooth, this stage appears around fifteen to twenty-five years old; the second level refers to a wear down or a central depression on the occlusal surface, occurring between twenty-six to thirty-five years old…”
As Ran Yan spoke, she rapidly threay all the broken bones she had eliminated
Since these skeletons were buried wrapped in , and fortunately, the soft tissues weren’t co the ether
Ran Yan’s hands gradually assees
Advertise’s brows had relaxed a little, a squad captain suddenly ca and raising his hands in salutation before saying: “Provincial Governor, this subordinate went to arrest Third Miss Yin as ordered We searched the Yin Fu for two ke (30min) but the person was not found, and there was no one in the Yin Fu are of her whereabouts”
“Her whereabouts are unknown?” Liu Pinrang’s eyebrows that had just relaxed frowned once again, “Pass on ot up and said: “Provincial Governor Liu ’s riverside”
Liu Pinrang immediately made the connection of this matter with Yin Wanwan’s death and ordered: “Send half of the people towards Pingjiang’s river This official will personally go, so the court hearing is postponed for a day”
Ran Yan lowered her eyes to look at the two fe, “Provincial Governor Liu, I’e”
The river in Pingjiang is over five li long (2,5km
1,67 [2] in Suzhou were to be dispatched, they would have to search for several hours Liu Pinrang stopped, and reluctantly nodded, saying: “Ok”
Ran Yan and Wan Lu quickly followed Liu Pinrang towards the stable When they were passing by the intersection, they chanced upon a few yaed woman That woman’s hands and feet were chained, but her clothes were still neat and proper, and her hair didn’t have one disheveled strand Her indifferent appearance was like the sure was like the gentle wind supporting theShe was dressed in a white organdy beizi [3] with a light gray skirt, her whole person seemed the pinnacle of tenderness and tranquility as she walked in the s June at Suzhou
The woman paused her steps when she saw Ran Yan She lifted her eyes and gave a faint nod towards Ran Yan, then unhurriedly turned around and walked away, as if the ten ormore than ornaments
“Miss Wei” Ran Yan has never seen her, but seeing her at that moment, she was certain that she was Miss Wei
Miss Wei stopped and turned over sideways, speaking in a cold and cheerless voice: “You are Seventeenth Miss Ran right, it’s a pleasure to meet you”
This woman had presence and refine Accusing her of having killed soh evidence, it would be very difficult to make people believe in it
However, Ran Yan noticed one problem: Miss Wei never paid Wan Lu any attention If she is indeed the wo with Cui Mei, under no circumstances could she be completely unfamiliar with Wan Lu
“Cui Mei…” When Ran Yan spoke this name, she saw Miss Wei’s body stiffen, and she immediately asked: “Who is she to you?”
Miss Wei slowly closed her eyes, her bright red lips opened slightly, “Daughter, she is hter”
At the time she voiced the last word, Miss Wei’s body co the final word for two breaths, then resu: “Can I ask you a favor?”
“Go ahead” Ran Yan replied
Miss Wei leisurely walked over Standing in front of Ran Yan, she gently grasped her hand, saying: “Once I die, spend two liang (50g) of silver and ask soether with Cui Mei I think, you ht need it”
After the last re were left bewildered Then the slender and beautiful Miss Wei showed a respectful obeisance towards Ran Yan before turning and departing with quick steps
