"Roughly estimating, the body has been there for three years, buried rather shallowly, but in a suitable location; it was wrapped in a straw mat. Could this be considered interment?"
Chief Medical Examiner Niu was also confidently making assessments on the scene.
A technician who could elevate the study of a piece of toilet paper to Level 3 had to be skilled in their primary job as well, at least showing the capabilities of Level 2. Faced with a body that had not undergone special adornment, providing an approximate age was not an issue.
Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement and said, "It coincides with the time around when Zhang Enfan returned to the country, but I'm not certain. We'll have to test the straw mat later."
The lower half of the body had not completely decayed, so some of the muscles on the back could still be seen adhering to the straw mat.
