Chapter 19 S1.E19. Telomeres

When Xiao Su and Rong Rui returned to the reception room, Rong Zhen was sitting by the window playing games with a Bluetooth headset on.

Probably to match his flowing blond hair, the earphones are in the shape of a custom-made crown of thorns, wearing it like the elf king Thranduil, with a tenth level of beauty, the whole person is as beautiful as a two-dimensional poster.

Xiao Su couldn't help feeling dizzy again.

With his hands in his trouser pockets, Rong Rui glanced at Xiao Su, a crosslight flashed in the corner of his eyes, and suddenly said, "Rong Zhen, you seem to have taken off your makeup?"

"Ah?" Rong Zhen was taken aback, and subconsciously tilted his head to look at the reflection of himself on the window. As a result, someone shot his head in the game, and the hard-earned equipment scattered all over the floor.

"Crap!" Rong Zhen exploded in an instant, jumping up with the crown of thorns on his head, "I'm going to be killed by you, why are you so unlucky to come back at this time?!" While cursing, he took out his Chanel Camellia flower powder cake, look at the left side and right side: "Your uncle, where did you take off your makeup... Hey, I didn't wear foundation today, sunscreen and isolation take off your mother's makeup! You just can't get along with me, right?"

Rong Rui turned on the random hearing loss function again, as if he didn't hear anything, he went to the laboratory to ask about the progress like a normal person, leaving Rong Zhen to explode on the spot.

Xiao Su discovered that Rong Rui's left ear belonged to Schrödinger's deafness - no one knew whether he was really deaf before he answered your question.

Fortunately, Rong Zhen also activated the seven-second amnesia function. As soon as Rong Rui's back disappeared, he returned to his original state. He asked Xiao Su nonchalantly, "Where did you go? Why did it take so long?"

Xiao Su rolled the words "buy coffee" on his lips, swallowed it again, and said, "Go to the terrace to bask in the sun for a while." Since he forgot, don't remind him again, right?

"What do you think you're not getting old enough for insanity?" Rong Zheng sneered, "You silly straight men don't know anything about the power of ultraviolet rays!"

After a pause, I felt that my words were ambiguous, and explained: "I belong to the kind of straight man who lives a more delicate life."

Xiao Su: I'd better go out and buy you another cup of coffee...

Hearing in embarrassment that Rong Rong had put himself under sun protection for 10 minutes, Rong Rui finally came out of the laboratory. Xiao Su, as if he had been pardoned, quickly asked, "Has the result come out?"

"Some of them came out." Rong Rui raised the folder in his hand, "There are still some that can't be picked up until next Tuesday."

Wu Xinyu followed behind him, holding the same file folder, and said: "This is for file, I want to study it in a few days, it's very interesting that you sent this batch of samples, there is a lot of homework to do. "

Xiao Su took the folder and flipped through it. Regarding the part of the animal samples he brought, the detection results were similar to those of his senior sister. It was the first time he had seen the part about the corpse of a married woman, and some parts were still unclear.

"This is... two kinds of DNA were detected?" Xiao Su asked Wu Xinyu.

"Yes." Wu Xinyu replied, "Two different DNAs were found in the samples from box No. [-] sent by Police Officer Rong. Because the authorization letter stated that these samples were taken from the same person, so I have to agree with some conclusions." Let the forensic doctor check it out."

Rong Zheng finally got into work, took the file in her hand and looked at it: "The DNA of the skin and the liver are different?"

"Yes, so I would like to ask whether this sample has undergone organ transplantation." Wu Xinyu said, "This situation is quite common, and many documents have mentioned it."

"No, she hasn't had a transplant," Rongzhen said.

"Then, did she have extensive burns and received allogeneic skin grafting?" Wu Xinyu asked again, "I have seen some hospitals use umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell skin grafting, and this may happen."

"No." Rong Zhen said affirmatively, "The deceased was an actor. The body has not undergone major surgery, only some minor adjustments have been made to the face. I don't think her DNA can be changed."

"Is it possible that she was born with it?" Xiao Su frowned. "There have been such cases before, where several different DNAs exist in a person at the same time, and it has no effect on life."

Wu Xinyu shook his head: "You mean a natural chimera? No, this sample should not be born. I also had the same suspicion as you, so I conducted further tests on these two different DNA samples to observe Take a look at their telomeres."

"Telomere?" Xiao Su didn't think of this at all.

A telomere is a small structure at the end of a chromosome, sort of like a little cap that protects the ends of chromosomes from fusion and degradation.Every time a human cell divides, the telomere of the chromosome will become a little shorter. When it is shortened to a certain extent, the cell will start the apoptosis mechanism, no longer divide and regenerate, and the body will completely die.

Therefore, telomeres are also known as "mitotic clocks", which can accurately determine whether a living body is newborn, mature, or dying.

"The sample DNA from the liver and the sample DNA from the skin have different telomere lengths." Wu Xinyu said, "The former is short, while the latter is long. In other words, the internal organs of this body are more than 30 years old, but the skin may be as old as 16 years old." Around [-] years old."

Xiao Su was stunned: "So are you sure they are not natural chimeras, but acquired 'transplanted' and exist in an organism?"

"Yes." Wu Xinyu spread out her hands and said, "That's why I suspected that she had undergone an organ transplant, otherwise it wouldn't make sense."

Rong Rui had been contemplating on the sidelines, but at this moment he suddenly interjected: "Besides organ transplantation, is there any other possibility, such as virus eroding, destroying and changing the host's DNA?"

"Oh, it's theoretically possible." Wu Xinyu thought for a while, and said, "Viruses can change the DNA structure, just like cancer cells in the human body, they will engulf and change normal cells in the human body, and they can divide without limit , regeneration, and their telomeres do not shorten under the action of special enzymes."

"The deceased did not have cancer." Rong Zhen shook his head and said, "She died of heart and lung failure. I did a complete autopsy and found no cancer cells."

Silence, no one can come to a definite conclusion for a while.After a pause, Wu Xinyu said: "Don't worry, I will do pathology and toxicology tests next, and maybe there will be other findings. In addition, I will sort out today's results and send them to Mr. Hu in the evening. If he has further The conclusion, I will forward it to you as soon as possible."

"Thank you, thank you for your hard work." Rongrui took out his mobile phone and said, "For safety, we must use the internal communication app, please install it."

Wu Xinyu took out her black Gothic customized Huawei, turned on Bluetooth, received the file sent by Rongrui, and installed it.After a while, Xiao Su felt his phone vibrate in his trouser pocket, and turned it on, and there was a rabbit head wearing a pirate eyepatch on UMBRA, and the ID was Wu Xinyu.

"Hey, Teacher Xiao's profile picture is so cute, it looks quite like you." Wu Xinyu said with a smile, and then clarified, "I'm not saying you have short legs."

Xiao Su could only smile, since Rongrui chose his avatar anyway, and he couldn't change it.

Besides, there are nine-headed monsters like Rongzheng as samples, and all of them have short legs.

"Huh? You made a small group? Why didn't you have me?" Rong Zhen protested, "You guys are playing without a forensic doctor! Quickly add me to increase your average leg length!"

Rong Rui gave him a blank look, but still pulled him in.Xiao Su was delighted when he saw his profile picture - an ostrich.

"Why am I an ostrich?" Rong Zheng slammed his phone, "It's so ugly!"

Rongrui rolled his eyes x 2, and exchanged him for a puffer fish.

Rong Zhen was about to explode on the spot, and his indistinguishable handsome face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, but at the moment of his explosion, Wu Xinyu suddenly said: "So cute! Puffer fish! I want puffer fish too! Can Officer Rong give me the puffer fish?!"

"..." Rong Zhen suddenly got stuck, and blinked twice with his beautiful eyes wearing Korean large-diameter Fairy King color contact lenses, and the blackness on his face slowly dissipated, "No, I won't change them!"

Xiao Su exhausted his whole life to stop laughing, and he was so overwhelmed that he felt a little urgent to pee.Rong Rui said calmly: "I just changed it once. The system sets that it cannot be changed again within two weeks. You can apply again next month."

"Ah? Is that so..." Wu Xinyu flattened her mouth in disappointment, and then comforted herself, "Forget it, speaking of it, the rabbit is quite cute, and it even has an eye patch."

"Yes, yes." Rong Zheng was afraid that she would snatch the puffer fish from him, so he graciously echoed, "It's very similar to you, so keep it."

Wu Xinyu also wanted to fight for it: "Forensic Doctor Rong, you like rabbits so much, why don't we change them next month?"

"Ah, it's getting late and it's getting dark, let's go early so we don't delay classmate Wu from eating!" Rong Zhen finished speaking in one breath, grabbed Wu Xinyu's hand and shook it, "Goodbye!"

Xiao Su asked with difficulty: "Where is the bathroom?"

"I'll go with you." With a black line on his head, Rong Rui expressed that he was also a little anxious to urinate.

At 07:30, the group bid farewell to Wu Xinyu and left the institute.

It was already dark outside, and there was a bit of night wind, which was chilly.Rong Rui drove the car up the road leading to the city, and asked Xiao Su, "Are you going back to the school, or to Biyue Lake?"

Xiao Su pondered for a moment, and asked, "Are you going to the Municipal Bureau to meet Lu Jie?"

Rong Rui nodded.Xiao Su asked again: "Can I go with you? I also want to hear what she has to say, maybe I can find details from her words that you didn't notice."

Rong Rui thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you and Rong Zhen can listen outside then."

The author has something to say: Rong Zhen: I can rely on my face, but I rely on my talent. I am such a fairy...

Rong Rui: Immortal barrier.
