National Forensic Doctor-Chapter 993 - 929 Mutual Praise

"This case was brilliantly solved."

In the conference room, Director Guo Peichao and others did not hesitate to offer high praise. From a police officer’s perspective, it can’t be said that this case was unsolvable, but it absolutely shouldn’t have been solved in this manner, step by step.

Under normal circumstances, the case should have been received by a criminal police team from some county or district, then get stuck due to issues with the source of the corpse, and not even requiring the expansion of a special case team before it’s over. If one is lucky or skilled enough to break through, then a special team of dozens is formed, traveling across several places, conducting a three-month business trip and show, consuming a vast amount of resources, and then returning without success. If one wishes to make further progress, the difficulty would be extremely high.

However, there was still a chance this case could be cracked. But it was more likely not by the police’s investigation into the case, but rather as the "Escape Room" or the situation of their group became known to the police, the perpetrator could be unearthed along with the revelation.

Beyond that, it depends on the subsequent fate of the two fugitive criminals.

Their behavior is also quite typical—after committing a murder, they flee and hide out for two or three years, check how things are going, then decide whether to continue hiding in another area, go home for the holidays, or stay put but start using their own ID cards.

For cases like Chen Nuan’s drowning, since the case was filed outside of the local area, it doesn’t matter whether the two return home or not. What really determines their fate is whether they will continue to commit crimes, and after doing so, whether they will implicate each other, or commit a major crime for which they cannot help but expose each other in hope of a lighter sentence.

Lastly, it depends on whether one of the two becomes successful. If one prospers while the other remains a miscreant, involvement in other cases is not uncommon. It can even be said that it is the most natural human choice. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"I think this case can be recommended for nomination as the case of the year award," Director Guo Peichao generously suggested.

Huang Qiangmin was moved: "Can you nominate from your side? Although the case was filed in Ningtai County, Chang Le City Bureau also expended great efforts. It would be perfect to submit it from Chang Le City’s side."

"If we evaluate it from Chang Le, we will have to take a slot." Guo Peichao, touching his forehead, didn’t expect his own remark to turn into a win for himself, making him feel somewhat clever.

Huang Qiangmin laughed heartily: "One more nominating entity doesn’t make any difference to us, and it still robs you of a slot."

"The slots don’t matter; we can never fill them all anyway..." Guo Peichao said and then, realizing his logical flaw, frowned and added: "Unless..."

"Our slots have been fully filled these last few years," Huang Qiangmin stated truthfully.

"That makes sense. It’s normal for your slots to be fully filled," Guo Peichao said with a self-deprecating smile.

"Mainly because there’s an explosive expert like Jiang Yuan, we really can’t help it. Hahaha." Huang Qiangmin let out a horse-crossing-the-river-style laugh.

"Indeed, before meeting him, I couldn’t even begin to imagine such a way of solving cases as Jiang Yuan’s." Guo Peichao looked at Huang Qiangmin’s beaming smile and couldn’t help but touch his own forehead again, thinking: I really can flatter people.

...

Next door.

Jiang Yuan was furiously clicking on the computer, going through more than a dozen pages of procedural applications, confirming that the number of people to be arrested easily exceeded a hundred.

Chen Nuan’s drowning case is of utmost importance, but it has actually become less difficult to handle. The facts of the case are very clear now. Although the two suspects have consumed a great deal of energy and physical effort from Jiang Yuan’s Cold Case Squad comparable to a drug trafficking case, once their identities were confirmed, neither interrogation nor subsequent investigation and evidence collection proved to be too challenging.

Instead, it is the follow-up to this case that seems simple but is actually quite troublesome to handle, mainly involving how to deal with the related store, its employees, and customers.

Firstly, all the members of the Share Group created by the escape room employees must be apprehended. The videos they shared with each other are mainly indecent photos or videos of customers, with only a few involving obscenity. These need to be carefully verified, interrogated one by one, and then sent for prosecution.

Next, even though there are legitimate customer groups created by the employees for social gaming, there are more that are not, hence everyone in each employee’s customer group also needs to be screened. Some employees even have special VIP groups, regular customer groups, and senior customer groups, which are the focus of the investigation.

Lastly, the company that produced the involved scripts, the people who wrote them, and those who participated in the renovation - whether they were aware, whether it was intentional, whether there was an inducement or even organizational involvement - pose a challenge to the follow-up investigation and to the prosecutor’s office.

If we want to delve into finer details and have the manpower, we could also encourage the involved parties to report on each other and claim merits, to see if more stores and individuals could be implicated.

Beyond this, all these cases ultimately require evidence and witnesses. Electronic videos as evidence also need proper documentation, and witnesses must be called in to give statements. If the suspects are unwilling to admit guilt and accept punishment, more preparations are needed for trial.

However, these are mostly issues that Jiang Yuan doesn’t need to worry about, and even the members of Jiang Yuan’s Cold Case Squad need not be too concerned. This is one of the reasons the temporarily assigned personnel from the Cold Case Squad are reluctant to leave - with a focus on solving cases without the need to spend too much effort on case management, it can be considered a blessing for the frontline police officers, providing a high sense of achievement.

"Commissioner Huang must have sold you with a smile," said Shen Yaowei, massaging his thigh while relishing the sore muscles after climbing stairs, and boldly commenting on the leader: "From my limited experience, it must have been at a high price."

The previous few did not dare to be as bold as Shen Yaowei, but Mu Zhiyang just chuckled twice, saying, "When has Commissioner Huang not sold at a high price..."

Shen Yaowei laughed: "Mainly because Captain Jiang is easier to sell, rarity is valuable, just like using live bait when fishing, other fish would definitely come sniffing around, our Commissioner Huang just has to..."

While talking, Shen Yaowei suddenly noticed that the expressions of Mu Zhiyang and the others became serious.

Shen Yaowei, an old soldier who had been through gunfire battles, was as keen as an antelope. His tone took a subtle turn: "It’s precisely because of Commissioner Huang’s protection that we can calmly carry on with our case work..."

"Shen." Huang Qiangmin called out softly.

Although Shen Yaowei had guessed it, he was still startled, his face turned pale, and he quickly turned around and smiled, "Commissioner Huang, you’re here, hard work..."

"There’s nothing hard about it. The hard work is up to you next," Huang Qiangmin paused, "The case we just mentioned, also a drowning, but the body was in a fishpond. The special task force from Chang Le Bureau has already drained the pond. Join their team and dig through the silt, see if you can find any evidence. The pond is quite large, make sure to keep warm."

Shen Yaowei: "Yes—"

Huang Qiangmin looked at Jiang Yuan: "See if you have anything to add."

"Yao Wei is skilled at finding things," Jiang Yuan and Huang Qiangmin exchanged a glance, agreeing with the suggestion.
