Living in North America, working from 9 to 5

Chapter 91 Horrible Teaching
Faced with Mahone's question, Roy smiled and said nothing.

Silence is better than words here. Ma Hong took a deep breath. A series of puzzles that had appeared and troubled him recently finally became clear today.

After taking out the third bullet, Mahone turned his head to look at Roy, and was surprised to find that Roy was holding a portable camera facing him.

He stopped what he was doing:
"Roy, what are you doing?"

Roy said:

"If I don't leave something behind, how can I believe that you have become my fellow traveler? But don't worry, as long as you don't play tricks and don't betray the organization, you will always be safe, and this videotape will never see the light of day."

Ma Hong: “…”

Ma Hong stared at Roy with his eyes fixed and swallowed his saliva with sweat all over his forehead. All the logic behind Roy's behavior had a great impact on him.

He couldn't imagine or believe that the person in front of him who was so meticulous was only twenty-three years old.

What made Ma Hong even more unbelievable was that he, a middle-aged man, was actually controlled by a young man who had just graduated from college and joined the police force for only one year.

How could he know that Roy was now in his second life.

Ma Hong heard a key point in Roy's words just now, "not betraying the organization", which means that Roy is not a lone scavenger, but belongs to an organization.

What kind of organization is this?
Ma Hong had a plan in mind.

Roy has a wool organization, he just has a superior, he doesn't even know if there are other scavengers under Gordon.

Roy had no idea about the power behind Gordon.

The reason why he said this was to deliberately let Ma Hong hear the word "organization". The purpose was very simple, which was to tell Ma Hong that an invisible big hand had already covered Ma Hong tightly, and it was impossible to run away or leave the organization.

If you dare to have any other thoughts, think about your wife and daughter.

This is the fourth safety net that Roy provides to Mahone.

Beads of sweat the size of beans gradually formed on Ma Hong's forehead. In order to prevent the sweat from dripping onto the corpse, Ma Hong wiped away the sweat with his sleeves.

His hands were shaking when he was dealing with the last bullet. At this moment, all he was thinking about was the safety of his wife and daughter.

Roy's ability to understand people's psychology is also very strong.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say. This is the first rule to follow as a scavenger."

"I...I understand..."

"As for why I asked you to shoot this man, it was to teach you your first lesson, Ma Hong. With your ability and experience, you only need to learn this lesson. You are much better than me. When I first entered the industry, I learned three lessons."

Ma Hong: “…”

Roy said as he recorded the video:
"You are not allowed to shoot the head because the skull is the hardest bone in the human body, and the steel bullet of the M1911 may also break. Also, it is more difficult to remove the bullet from the head than from other parts of the body."

While Roy was speaking, Mahone had already taken out the last bullet.

Pausing the recording, Roy casually put the camera in the trunk of the car, came behind Mahone, and looked at the body:
"That's it..."

After saying that, Roy took out a sledgehammer from the trunk of the car, wrapped the hammer head with plastic film, and threw it next to Ma Hong:
"Smash his head..."

Ma Hong: “???”

He turned his head and looked at Roy with incredible eyes.

Roy said: "Preventing craniofacial restoration."

Ma Hong: “…”

Craniofacial reconstruction technology has been widely used since the 1990s, and its main use is in solving criminal cases.

Friends who have killed someone know that in solving a murder case, the first thing to determine is the identity information of the deceased.

More than 80% of the vast majority of murders in the world are committed by people the victim knows, so the primary investigative direction is the victim's circle of friends, family situation, and interpersonal relationships.

Therefore, it is particularly important to determine the identity of the body.

For those old corpses that are decayed and disfigured and on which no valid identity information can be found, craniofacial restoration technology is needed.

Craniofacial reconstruction is a process in which technicians use a relatively complete skull to reconstruct and simulate fat and muscle tissue based on the average thickness of different tissues at different positions on the skull, and ultimately draw the appearance of the deceased before his or her death.

Then they compare the missing persons in the family through database, newspaper or TV. Normally, a senior forensic doctor with many years of experience can achieve 80% similarity, which is enough. Why not just DNA comparison?

You also know that DNA needs to be compared. With whose DNA?

Generally speaking, after seeing the portrait in the news newspaper, the relatives, family members or friends of the deceased will come to the police station. Only at this time will DNA matching be used to confirm whether the deceased is a relative of the person who comes to claim the body.

If it is a relative relationship and the source of the corpse is confirmed, the case can be solved. If the identity of the corpse cannot be found, there is almost no solution.

……

……

Ma Hong picked up the sledgehammer on the ground tremblingly. He first glanced at Roy, then focused his eyes on the corpse.

Who wouldn’t be nervous when doing it for the first time…

"Really?"

"Yes, this is a lesson for you."

"I……"

After hesitating for a moment, Ma Hong came to the direction of the corpse's head.

Taking a deep breath, he picked up the sledgehammer.

eighty……

Eighty, eighty...

Eighty, eighty, eighty...

Mahone threw the sledgehammer aside and began to retch.

Roy immediately said:

"Swallow it back. Don't leave any traces at the scene."

Gululu...

Ma Hong forced himself to swallow back the vomit that had just reached his throat.

"That shouldn't be the case. You should have seen many such scenes."

"I have seen many, but none of them were smashed by me personally."

"You'll get used to it later... Come and help..."

Ma Hong worked with Roy to use ropes to tie up the body, and together with the bloody plastic film, tied the body into a dumpling.

Together, they carried the body into the pit...

After a short while, the deep pit was filled.

Roy took out four woven bags:
“Pack up the extra dirt and take it away.”

Ma Hong: “…”

It's really fucking troublesome.

The body was put into the pit, filling the original position of the soil, which of course produced extra soil, which was similar to the soil used for graves in rice fields.

If conditions permit, it is best to take away the excess soil.

Ma Hong and Roy had a clear division of labor, one filled the woven bags with soil, and the other used tools to compact the soil at the burial site.

After doing this, Mahone carried the woven bag full of soil into the car. Roy drove the pickup truck away and began to teach Mahone how to remove the traces left at the scene, such as footprints and tire marks.

After parking the pickup truck on a man-made mountain road, the two began to clean up the last traces of the pickup truck turning into the woods.

By the time he finished all this, Ma Hong was already soaked in sweat.

I turned on the air conditioner when I got in the car...
