214: Chapter 206 Change 214: Chapter 206 Change Criminal investigation is an extrely important authority.
Even if the cadres from the provincial departnt ca to Longli County, they only had the right to suggest, theoretically, and could not take over the criminal police team unless the county agreed.
Many tis, for various reasons, the direction of criminal investigation could not be determined at will.
The first person responsible for criminal cases in Longli County was always Hou Lejia, as the team leader.
He had many factors to consider, and once he made a decision, he had to take full responsibility for it.
Jiang Yuan expressed all his opinions, then went to the doorway to eat snail rice noodles.
Compared to instant noodles, snail rice noodles had one good point, which was they could be left a bit longer; after a brief soak, the texture of the rice noodles was still acceptable.
And after being soaked for a while, they even tasted more flavorful.
Jiang Yuan slurped his food loudly.
If it weren’t for the layer of oil on top, which made it slightly hot, he could have finished it all in one go.
Hou Xiaoyong also ca out, and seeing Jiang Yuan enjoying the food so much, he oddly felt a sense of achievent, saying, “The snail rice noodles I cooked are pretty good, huh?”
Jiang Yuan pondered for a mont, savored the taste, and nodded, “Quite good, professional level.”
Hou Xiaoyong’s snail rice noodle skills were at LV1; he was much better at this than he was at cri scene investigation.
Hou Xiaoyong laughed a couple of tis, then crouched beside Jiang Yuan and started to explain, “Cooking snail rice noodles is simple, but you just need to control the order right.
Like this oil, it’s pointless if you boil it too long, and peanuts need to be added later, or they won’t be crunchy…”
Jiang Yuan nodded; it was indeed a seriously made bowl of snail rice noodles.
“Jiang, are we going to wipe down the cri scene later?” Hou Xiaoyong leaned in and asked.
Jiang Yuan glanced at him and said, “I can do it myself.”
Wiping down the scene again was also for Jiang Yuan to verify his own ideas, and on the other hand, to see if there were any other additional clues.
As with many scenes he had processed before, it was very unlikely to find traces on a scene that had already been gone over once; and if sothing were found, it usually was just re traces.
Moreover, the value of the evidence had greatly diminished since the villagers had broken into the scene at the initial stage of the incident.
In light of this, Jiang Yuan was even less hopeful of anyone else’s help.
And even if he was to seek help, Jiang Yuan would rather have Heizi assist him than Hou Xiaoyong.
Hou Xiaoyong looked crestfallen.
He loitered at the doorway, reluctant to go inside, and then turned around and whispered, “Jiang, I actually wanted to learn sothing from you, to steal a trick or two…”
“There’s nothing much you can learn from .
You’re thinking too much,” Jiang Yuan brutally interrupted Hou Xiaoyong.
“I don’t need you to teach ; I can just stand nearby and watch.”
“Watching is fine, but it’s not necessary,” Jiang Yuan took a breath, “Cri scene investigation is just ticulous work, there’s no secret martial arts manual.
Besides, I doubt that we will find any evidence at today’s scene.”
Hou Xiaoyong’s face showed disappointnt.
He indeed was looking for a kind of secret martial arts manual.
A manual for cri scene investigation.
However, in Jiang Yuan’s opinion, a player at level 0.6, who had opportunities to practice, didn’t need to force themselves to learn more.
Even without cheating, with a few months of practice, one could close in on the level of a professional, starting at level 0.9.
A level of 0.6 definitely indicated a reverse talent.
The requirents for cri scene investigation aren’t very high; being observant, ticulous, and patient is the foundation, and having so thoughts and associative abilities would be even better.
But it seed Hou Xiaoyong lacked all of these qualities.
That didn’t matter much, though.
He still was a good child to his mother, society’s treasure; he just wasn’t suited for cri scene investigation.
It might be better for Hou Xiaoyong to realize this early on and switch positions.
“By the way, since Doctor Ye is here, who is conducting the autopsy?” asked Jiang Yuan after finishing the snail rice noodles.
“Forensic Doctor Wang Lan,” replied Hou Xiaoyong.
Jiang Yuan quietly muttered, “Of course.”
Wang Lan attended at least half of the recent murder cases within Qinghe City, but nearly every ti there was one in Longli County, she was present.
The body might have had clues, but with no findings from dical Examiner Wang Lan, Jiang Yuan had put the autopsy second in line.
Patting his stomach and then going for a pee, Jiang Yuan ca back to change clothes for the cri scene investigation, anwhile ushering most of the people out.
Wang Zhong assisted him diligently, dipping the brush, powdering, taking photos…
Click, click.
Click, click, click.
Jiang Yuan conducted the cri scene investigation with calm emotions, his movents gradually becoming smooth and rhythmic.
Whether or not it could be done was one thing, but elegance was everything.
Hou Xiaoyong peeked through the door for a while, didn’t understand what was going on, and wanted to wait for Jiang Yuan to look up.
But he couldn’t stand the wait and left.
Evening.
The cri scene investigation was complete, and several human hairs had been found, along with more evidence of the scene being searched.
From this point of view, the elents of a break-in burglary were reinforced.
After all, if it were the husband or soone else known, it would be unnecessary to steal from one’s own property.
Moreover, there is no need to search so many places, as it only lengthens the ti of the cri, making it easier to be discovered.
However, the possibility that a familiar person deliberately confused matters couldn’t be ruled out.
Or perhaps, an alien hired by the husband wanted to earn so extra inco and searched around as well.
After properly handing over the evidence to the evidence room of Longli County, Jiang Yuan proceeded to their surveillance office.
There are many ways to find a burglar who breaks and enters, but surveillance is still the most reliable.
Mobile phone positioning can also be used; nowadays, it is very convenient to use base stations for location tracking.
However, this thod can usually only prove soone was in a certain place.
It’s good for investigation, but as evidence, it’s sowhat lacking.
For typical break-ins, the police are too lazy to use this thod.
Not to ntion having to ask the tech surveillance departnt, they’ll have to look for the evidence all over again, which is like licking the bitter gourd from both ends—it’s misused if the wrong place or function is chosen.
Of course, more traditional thods such as looking for fingerprints, hair, sweat, and other DNA evidence are also good options.
It just requires a more skilled cri scene investigation team, and on the other hand, criminals who have been caught using this thod tend to grow after coming out of the “prison university.”
By wearing gloves and overalls, for example, they can often perfectly avoid leaving this kind of evidence behind.
However, the possibility of leaving sweat remains, as the thicker the clothing, the more likely they are to sweat during the cri.
It just depends on whether the cri scene team can find it or not.
In a normal criminal investigation environnt, the police system’s investnt in break-in burglaries is diocre at best.
They prefer to sit and wait, hoping to pull out both the radish and the mud at the sa ti.
Otherwise, tracing the culprit through the stolen goods is also a fairly common practice.
In comparison, finding a suspect through surveillance is considered an efficient and proactive thod of case resolution.
Hou Lejia seed a bit excited, and when he saw Jiang Yuan, he said in a low voice, “There’s been a series of burglaries recently.
And in most cases, bicycles and electric vehicles were stolen; it’s likely the work of the sa person.”
“Are the bicycles and electric vehicles used to carry things after being stolen?”
“Yes, he usually steals them while also looking for the keys to take larger items like computers on the bicycle or electric vehicle.
If he can’t find the keys, he probably picks the locks.”
Repeat offenders generally have a more or less fixed pattern of cri.
It’s like how regular people go to work; after a while, the ti they wake up in the morning, the route they take, the bus they ride, all beco a fixed pattern.
Criminals at work are essentially on a job too.
Even if they want to evade capture, they can’t keep changing their thods.
They don’t have that strong an innovation ability.
If they could constantly co up with new ideas, they would have beco capitalists long ago instead of getting involved in burglary.
A successful criminal often reinforces their cri pattern, believing in the superiority of their thods due to consistent success.
Similarly, one might refer to Japanese adult films, which keep the sa series pattern, changing only the female lead.
“Have you captured any surveillance footage of the suspect?” Jiang Yuan asked directly.
The probability of committing multiple cris without ever being caught on cara is very low.
Moreover, burglars don’t need to guard against such an extent.
It’s not like there’s a fatality every ti.
Hou Lejia nodded, instructed his subordinate to display it, and said, “We’re still reviewing other videos; there should be more.”
As they spoke, a shadow appeared on the screen.
The footage was a bit dirty; movents could be seen, but not faces.
“Can you confirm the identity of the suspect?” Jiang Yuan asked again.
“We’re still working on it.” Hou Lejia was relatively confident.
As long as the surveillance captured sothing, there are still many ways to continue the search for the person.
Jiang Yuan checked the ti; it was already 10 p.m.
If things dragged on any further, he would definitely be up all night.
Jiang Yuan decided, “Find a computer.
I’ll adjust the image.”
