Chapter 577: Finding Someone by Footprints

After lunch.

Jiang Yuan rested in the dormitory for a while. When he came out for work, he heard a commotion in the yard.

"What happened?" Jiang Yuan asked Wang Chuanxing who had come to watch the fun.

Wang Chuanxing looked like he was watching the fun and said, "The first case we did this morning was the one who stole agricultural supplies. The imaging office found a Wuling Hongguang and found the owner's home by following the license plate. Now the owner's family and relatives have all come here, but the owner hasn't come."

"The steel pipes in the vegetable field, right? Have they been found?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"No."

"There's a driver in the photo taken by the checkpoint, right? Is the driver the owner? Didn't he come?"

"The driver is the owner, but he didn't come."

"She's a little clever." Jiang Yuan commented. If the victim is not present, you can't arrest him, let alone have a trial in absentia, which gives you room for nonsense.

Wang Chuanxing said, "Isn't it because they lack evidence that they are so arrogant? There are five cousins ​​in the family, three brothers in my father's generation, and two uncles. There are 10 male children alone. I heard that my uncle and others are coming."

While talking, the instructor also saw Jiang Yuan, and came over helplessly, saying, "It is estimated that they will continue to make trouble this afternoon. This family is just a bunch of idiots, and they don't understand the law. They just make trouble."

As the instructor spoke, he looked at Jiang Yuan, hoping that he would speak up.

The case value of a dozen steel pipes is not high, and it does not meet the hard condition of 3,000 yuan. In theory, a case value of 5,000 yuan must be filed, but there is also room for negotiation. Just like now, if the quarrel is too fierce, it seems that you can calm down the emotions first to avoid causing greater losses.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "This family doesn't seem to be ignorant of the law. Besides, stealing should be a social consensus. Even those who don't know the law should know this."

"You are right. Most people don't bother with them." Seeing that Jiang Yuan was not very happy, the instructor explained, "From the looks of the victims, they probably don't want to make a big fuss. They live in the village and don't want to offend the Jin family..."

"Criminal cases have nothing to do with whether the victims want to or not." Jiang Yuan himself was born in the countryside and knew what the instructor was worried about. This kind of family with several brothers and many relatives, even if they are not village bullies, is a very powerful family in the countryside. If one of their family members is sent to prison, those who are not convinced will definitely go to the victim's family to find fault in the following time.

If it is a big case, it's fine. For this kind of case where the person is only in jail for a few months, when the person comes out, he will have to go to the victim's family to make up. At that time, the police station will be busy with constant police dispatch and mediation.

If the Jin family is really reckless, it's easy to deal with. If they charge one more person with provoking trouble, it will probably be quiet for a while. But if they pass by and throw feces today, and throw two rabbits into your vegetable field tomorrow, the victim will only feel more uncomfortable.

However, Jiang Yuan looked at the aggressive look of this family and didn't want to let them go easily.

This family is a bit too arrogant. Knowing that they are in the wrong, they still dare to run to the police station to make trouble...

Jiang Yuan said: "If there is no demolition compensation, most of the people in our Ningtai rural area will go out to work. How come all the young people in this family stay in the village? How do they live?"

"Open a store." The instructor hit a soft nail twice and was too lazy to take care of this matter. He just cleared himself and said: "I asked the local village police. The Jin family mainly opened stores in the township. Some relatives opened stores in Qinghe and Ningtai County, and some in the neighboring township. They do everything. This time they gathered together."

"They are all dressed well and can afford a car." Jiang Yuan commented.

"Is the business doing well?"

"Maybe." Jiang Yuan didn't quite believe it.

Residents in towns and villages generally don't have much cash, and even if they open a store, they can only make a limited amount of money. The situation of this family is obviously better than the average level. And from the language and way of doing things they have shown so far, it is obvious that they don't rely purely on intellectual or physical input to earn income.

"Go and call Mu Zhiyang over." Jiang Yuan said to Wang Chuanxing.

Wang Chuanxing nodded, went out without saying a word, and led Mu Zhiyang back.

"You two do something, first find some loose soil, spread it in the yard, and then call the Jin family aside in batches, let them pass by the loose soil, and then take pictures of their footprints." Jiang Yuan paused, and then said: "It may not be easy to take pictures, I'll stand in front and watch."

Wang Chuanxing and Mu Zhiyang immediately nodded and went to do it.

The instructor watched from the side without knowing why.

"Instructor. If it's convenient for you, find two people to pour some water for the Jin family, collect the cups and other things, and collect some fingerprints?" Jiang Yuan made another request.

The instructor finally understood what was going on, and couldn't help asking: "Do you suspect there are other cases?"

"Watching the excitement is not a big deal." Jiang Yuan didn't need to explain to him, and smiled and said: "It's raining and beating children. I'm free anyway. I'll go first."

After saying hello, he went to the open space next to the yard and stood there, as if he was just watching the excitement.

After a while, Mu Zhiyang and Wang Chuanxing brought two boxes of soil and spread them carefully in the middle of the yard.

Then, Mu Zhiyang stood in the shaded corner, took a record book, and waited for Wang Chuanxing to call people over.

The first time Wang Chuanxing called people, four people came together. Passing through the yard in the middle, the footprints of several people were clearly visible, and their gait was clear.

Wang Chuanxing looked at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan nodded imperceptibly.

The four of them arrived at the corner of the wall and were pulled a few meters away, but they did not seem to follow the rules. They pricked up their ears and insisted on listening to the questions asked by Mu Zhiyang.

Mu Zhiyang simply asked a few basic questions such as name, age, and mobile phone number.

The four of them were inexplicably taken back from the other side by Wang Chuanxing. Mu Zhiyang took the opportunity to take pictures and matched the footprints with the names.

After a while, Wang Chuanxing brought out two more people.

It was exactly the same method.

In this way, the Jin family became proud, and the people who came again walked with their arms swinging.

There were more than a dozen people from the Jin family. Jiang Yuan waited until they had finished reading them all, and then turned back to the office.

Mu Zhiyang and Wang Chuanxing collected the transcripts, took a few more photos in the yard, scanned the yard, and then returned to the office.

As for the fingerprint collection arranged by the instructor, Jiang Yuan did not take it too seriously. Taking fingerprints is a simple matter. The key is to take all ten fingerprints. It is a little difficult, but if necessary, there are still ways to do it later.

"What to do now?" Wang Chuanxing and Mu Zhiyang returned to the office, still a little excited, and guessed Jiang Yuan's thoughts.

"Turn over the cases near the village where the Jin family is located. Let's take a look at the ones with footprints in recent years."

Jiang Yuan's focus is on footprints. Because modern people actually know that fingerprints will expose their information, so ordinary stupid criminals also know how to conceal fingerprints.

Moreover, compared to committing crimes in the city, fingerprints in the countryside are more difficult to preserve, and more difficult to use to solve cases.

Footprints are different. It is almost difficult for ordinary people to conceal their footprints. Just think about sweeping away footprints while walking. Crime is actually a very hard thing. For example, stealing things at night is usually done in the dead of night, walking in the dark, and walking thousands of steps at night.

Walking the top 10 in a circle of friends in the dark is tiring enough, and you have to bend down to sweep the floor? What if you move something big? For example, in the case of the missing steel pipe just now, you can't sweep the floor when moving the steel pipe, right? Sweep the floor after moving it in a sweat? How do you know where the person just walked from in the dark? Turn on the flashlight to see?

If it's a murder or something, it may be worth cleaning the scene carefully, but if it's just stealing a dozen steel pipes, the amount involved is one or two thousand yuan, and you don't know if there are any. If it's so hard, it's better to work in a factory. It's okay to set up a night market.

The most important thing is that doing this may not be useful, and it may expose more information.

In comparison, there are only a few high-end trace detections that can use footprints for identification. If you are a little luckier, you won't encounter it.

And those who encounter Jiang Yuan are just unlucky.

Jiang Yuan directly looks for the cases in Litang Township with footprint photos in the background of the software.

It is quite troublesome to find someone through footprints, but on the other hand, if we have the footprints of a person first and then compare them with photos, wouldn’t the problem of the database be solved?

If the Jin family is clean and does not do anything sneaky or perverted murderers, then Jiang Yuan would be doing useless work.

Or change to someone who is not so good at footprint identification, such as Chen Wenming, the leader of the trace inspection in Qinghe City and a footprint expert. He may have to repeatedly check with photos to identify a footprint, so it would be a bit time-consuming to do this.

But for Jiang Yuan, flipping through a photo of a footprint in ten seconds is just that.

"Hey, I caught one." Jiang Yuan laughed in just half an hour.

The instructor who took the fingerprints just came in, and seeing Jiang Yuan's smile, his heartbeat slowed down for some reason.
