Chapter 556: Rapid Progress (Asking for Monthly Votes)

Before the dark red long conference table, Director Xu Tian frowned tightly. People who knew him would lift their buttocks three inches higher when they saw Xu Tian with this expression.

It was quiet all around, as if the dozen people in the room had all held their breath.

"Haha..."

Director Xu suddenly suppressed his voice and laughed.

Then, the conference room was full of low laughter.

"What should we do?" Director Xu asked the director sitting in the middle while laughing.

In front of him were the two reports sent by Jiang Yuan.

Two homicide cases, two clear investigation ideas, two clues, and also meant double resource investment.

Let alone the case handling funds, first of all, in terms of manpower, the pressure of two homicide cases is a bit high.

It was the first time that the leaders of the Luojin Municipal Bureau felt this kind of happy trouble. When have they ever been so happy?

"What do you think?" The director thought that he could make everyone happy.

Criminal investigation is too hard, and it is really worth being happy to have such a good thing occasionally.

The people at the conference table were smiling like they had had their faces lifted.

"Although it cost money, the reward came too quickly and too happily." The captain sighed. He wanted Jiang Yuan to stay.

Director Xu also nodded continuously. The cost of helping Ningtai County to build and enrich the laboratory is very high, but the investigation of the backlog of murders will only be more difficult.

A very simple logic, some current murders cannot be solved on schedule, and after more than a year, these murders that have become backlogs can be solved in a more difficult way. The difference here cannot be measured in miles.

After everyone was happy, the director asked again: "How is the investigation going? Is there any hope?"

When it comes to specific cases, everyone's smiles are all put away.

Being a criminal police is not actually a very happy thing. In other words, being a criminal police is a very manly thing. Its happiest and most satisfying time is very short, basically only the last few seconds, and before that, the criminal police need to sweat a lot, take big risks, and endure huge emotional fluctuations.

As the director said, if the investigation of the acquaintances of the chefs at Haidilao has any results, it would be a happy thing, but before reaching the end, all efforts are fruitless. Moreover, no one tells you where the end is.

The captain took a deep breath and said, "The investigation is still in progress. For now... there is no result yet."

"Since this investigation direction... is proposed by Jiang Yuan, you should continue to work hard." The director could have asked the captain's opinion first, but he turned around and gave the conclusion directly.

He didn't want his subordinates to go with the flow and change the investigation direction by being smart. Because there is another drowning case now, since it is also a murder case, if this case is solved, it is not easy to blame him. Not only can he not blame him, but he must also praise him.

But in this way, it is unknown when the chef case at Haidilao can be solved. The director must feel unwilling to let two murder cases become one.

As for whether to believe Jiang Yuan or his familiar subordinates who have worked together for more than ten or twenty years, the director certainly chooses to believe Jiang Yuan.

Even though the chef's acquaintances had been screened several times, he still believed in Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan now has handled more murder cases than many people have participated in in their lifetime. It is even more than the number of special case teams that many people have joined in their lifetime. Based on the director's experience, who else can he trust if he doesn't trust Jiang Yuan?

Regardless of age or skills, Jiang Yuan is also the best in the country in terms of experience in murder cases.

If he were a normal criminal policeman, he would work for five or six years and start working as a handyman for the special case team in his twenties. It would be good to solve one serious case a year on average. It is more likely that two serious cases will be solved, and one will be solved barely - maybe even a fugitive will be pursued.

If he works so hard until he is over 40 years old, if he can still work, he can only solve 10 to 20 serious cases, and it is hard to say how many murder cases there are.

From this perspective, the director thinks that Jiang Yuan is not at the same level as his subordinates.

The detachment leader had to confirm with the director and said, "Do we need to adjust the configuration of the investigation? If a new case comes up, we will not have enough manpower. So we may need to strengthen it."

"How many people do you need?" asked the director.

"100 people." The detachment leader had already spoken, so he wanted a big one.

The director said "yes" and bargained, "I'll give you 10 people, and borrow a few people from... below. I'll borrow as many as I can, and borrow for three months first."

Nowadays, the police stations of the municipal bureau rely on the secondment of subordinates to survive. The county bureaus below are suffering from being borrowed, and they have gradually developed some coping strategies. For example, the secondment time is strict, and it means three months if it is borrowed. Another thing is that everything must be written on paper, and it will only count if there is a document issued.

The detachment leader also knew that there was a shortage of manpower in all aspects, and sighed, "In this case... okay."

Anyway, at the beginning, we just went to the upstream to take water samples. If there were a little less manpower, we would take it a little slower, and he could accept it.

The director said, "Yes," and said, "I think we should just walk on two legs. As long as one case is solved, we will have enough manpower."

"Yes." The captain could only agree.

...

Back in the office, the bustling scene of the past is gone.

Many police officers in the agency were driven out by the captain, including the deputy captain, and now they are all leading their teams to other provinces.

There are always some people who go to work far away, and it is necessary to question these people. Leaving after the case is a suspect in itself.

"Wang Zhi." The captain of the second brigade came to report and said, "We found something."

"Speak." The captain immediately became energetic. For so many days, he had been tortured to the point that he had to eat two more bowls of rice every day.

"When Qi Pao from our team asked a former colleague of the deceased, he found that the other party was in an abnormal mood. After careful questioning, the former colleague admitted that he had been in a romantic relationship with the deceased."

The captain was stunned: "Female chef?"

"Male chef..."

"Then...oh..." The captain nodded. He was also well-informed and immediately made an association in his mind: "Their relationship was not public?"

"Yes."

"This is a new situation. So, the victim is a homosexual, and he is the kind who has not come out. What about his boyfriend? Is he on our list?"

The captain of the second brigade said: "He is, but he has not been questioned in detail. The mark is C."

"Change it to A and send someone to ask." The captain rubbed his hands and his eyes were bright again.

If there is no news about Haidilao's chef An, he will have to change the direction of investigation.

...

Jiang Yuan pulled Pang Jidong's fourth brigade along the river to the north.

Yesterday, he mainly did two things.

The first was to judge as many algae as possible as accurately as possible. Different algae have different living conditions. To be more professional, they are distributed in different waters. Some of these can be distinguished on satellite images, and some need to be judged on site. What is more troublesome than pollen maps is that many algae cannot be seen. The waters may meet its survival standards, but the proportions do not meet them, and these require water samples to be extracted for testing.

Second, Jiang Yuan made a more accurate inference of the postmortem immersion time. That is, how long the deceased was soaked in water.

This is a special feature of drowned bodies. Because the reproduction of insects and other microorganisms is affected after the body is soaked in water, it becomes impossible to judge the time of death by necrophilous insects. Therefore, the overall time of death becomes more difficult to judge. On the contrary, there are many ways to judge the time of soaking in water.

For example, in fresh water, a body that has been immersed for a week will have "gloves" and "socks"-like skin shedding, that is, the skin of the hands and feet will fall off as a whole...

After determining the postmortem immersion time, combined with hydrological data, it is possible to roughly determine the approximate area where the body fell into the water. However, the accuracy is much lower, and it involves a lot of assumptions. Therefore, when you arrive at the corresponding section, you need to check it in conjunction with the first item.

The car stopped.

Jiang Yuan got off the car and looked into the distance, then stood by the river to observe for a while, and then pointed to a location. Someone came forward to throw a bottle to take a sample, and put it once every few meters. When the number is enough, it will be carried to the car.

Jiang Yuan walked along and pointed along the way.

The living environment of this kind of river is similar, but the distribution of algae is still different.

Pang Jidong and his subordinates carried boxes of small brown bottles, threw them along the way, collected a few boxes, and hurried to the back.

The laboratory has been prepared for a long time, and even purchased a new centrifuge. The most time-consuming part of the nine-step method is centrifugation. In fact, a pure diatom must be centrifuged three times before it can appear under the microscope, which is quite difficult.

He walked along the left bank for about three or four kilometers, and then walked back for another three or four kilometers. Even if Jiang Yuan didn't need to take samples himself, the intensity of the work was extremely tiring.

Fortunately, the laboratory sampling of algae is a mature technology, and Jiang Yuan doesn't need to operate it specifically. He went back to sleep, and the next day... continued to centrifuge and take samples...

And from the next day, Jiang Yuan needed to participate in the identification of algae samples.

This job was only for him, and others couldn't help even if they wanted to, and could only watch.

So, in the yard of the Luojin City Criminal Police Detachment, only the people of the Fourth Brigade were left, floating around like wandering souls.

The detachment leader looked out from the office, resisting the urge to drag this group of people out to work.

The other brigades were almost busy, and there were still people in the Fourth Brigade kicking grass. If it was before, it would be fine, but now Haidilao's chef An has made new discoveries and new clues, and it is time to need people.

The captain thought as he left the office and moved towards the laboratory. He had no other intention, just to greet Jiang Yuan and see if he liked the current working environment and when he was ready to hire someone...

When he arrived at the laboratory, the captain sat on a chair in the reception room and waited. The operating room inside was dust-free, so it was troublesome to go in, and the captain was too lazy to go.

He was also going to think about what to say when they met.

Just as he was thinking about this, he saw Jiang Yuan walking out of the door.

"Forensic doctor Jiang." The captain felt guilty for some reason and stood up quickly.

Jiang Yuan was a little surprised why the captain was here, but when he met him, he said, "I was just about to report to you. The point where the body entered the water has been determined. In Fulin Town upstream, we checked the missing persons nearby and determined the identity of the victim. He is a local resident who lives in a self-built house with his parents and brothers. There is something wrong with his family, and the case was reported too late. At least we know something."

The captain nodded continuously.

In this case, it can be said that there is a major suspicion.

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Jiang Yuan took off his white coat.

The captain took it and hung it up for him, and smiled and said, "Nothing, just to see if there is any service needed."
