Jiang Yuan repeatedly checked the photos of the crime scene. There were not many clues to this case, so it had not been solved 15 years ago. As for now, there were actually more clues, especially in the situation where the identity of one of the victims had been confirmed. Theoretically, there would be more investigation directions. However, the reality was that the Li Huimin case had also been fully investigated...

"Communication is done. Our side will lead this case. I'll go talk to Bureau Chief Wu and determine the jurisdiction." Huang Qiangmin came over to tell Jiang Yuan, then went out to the conference room to find the Anwan City Bureau Chief.

Jurisdiction is very important, and communication is also very important, because the crime scene of this case is in Anwan City, and the investigation is likely to be carried out in Anwan City, which requires the cooperation of the Anwan City Bureau very much. Otherwise, the other party could completely refuse or even drive away the people from the Ningtai County Bureau.

This situation is actually very common. For example, a company sells something to another place, or has a dispute with someone in another place, and the other party reports the case and files it in the other place. Jurisdiction naturally lies in the hands of the local police in the other place, but to come to the local area to arrest the person in charge of the company, normally, it requires the consent of the local police. In the past, public opinion often believed that this model was backward and a manifestation of local protectionism. However, with the large-scale emergence of deep-sea fishing, it set off the advanced nature of this model.

Jiang Yuan didn't care so much and continued to scan the evidence. He didn't involve himself much in management-level matters, and the system didn't provide him with relevant skills. But criminal cases ultimately rely on evidence to support them for detection. One couldn't just rely on political guidance... could they.

Liu Jinghui also sat down and silently flipped through the case files. He didn't even need to look at this case; he knew it was absolutely difficult to solve. After looking at it... this idea was even more firm.

Liu Jinghui couldn't help but look back at Jiang Yuan. If it were a few years ago, when he didn't have this giant dragon, encountering a similar case, the probability of saying "PASS" was high. He used English because this didn't conform to Chinese values, but for a case that couldn't be solved, no matter how correct the values were, it couldn't be solved.

Now with Jiang Yuan, Liu Jinghui had a glimmer of hope. He carefully flipped through the case files, believing that the giant dragon would show its due dominance at the right time.

For a long time, Huang Qiangmin brought Zhang Limin, Wu Jingwei, and Liu Zhuangshi, who had serious expressions, over.

These three were exactly the configuration of the Provincial Department, the City Bureau, and the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and could represent the opinions of the three levels to a considerable extent.

Among them, Wu Jingwei, as the bureau head, had the greatest power among the three. At this time, he nodded solemnly and opened his mouth...

He was intercepted by Zhang Limin.

Zhang Limin didn't have as many prerequisite actions as Wu Jingwei at all. Seeing Jiang Yuan, he preemptively said: "Police family members are victims, we have absolute zero tolerance. For this case, I represent the Provincial Department, firmly support Director Jiang Yuan, and firmly support the Ningtai County Bureau!"

Wu Jingwei made a "hiss" sound, couldn't help but look at Zhang Limin sideways, thinking to himself, as expected of a government official, is taking sides really an instinct? Is the ability to observe words and colors stronger than a liar?

Wu Jingwei coughed twice and said: "Our Anwan City Bureau will also definitely do a good job of support, ensure logistics, and charge into the battle..."

Zhang Limin made a "hiss" sound, turned his head to look at Wu Jingwei, thinking to himself, good fellow, you are willing to do anything with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Before his thoughts could turn around, he heard Liu Zhuangshi next to him whisper: "Our Criminal Investigation Detachment also fully supports it!"

Jiang Yuan stood up, looked at the three, nodded gently, and said: "This case is not simple!"

"Fully support!" Wu Jingwei spoke first this time.

"Fully support!" Zhang Limin and Liu Zhuangshi also didn't hesitate.

Huang Qiangmin nodded with gratification. The victims of this case included those from Ningtai County, and the crime scene was in Anwan City, Pingzhou Province. Therefore, obtaining the support of Pingzhou Province and Anwan City was very important. Jiang Yuan could obtain the support of the provincial and municipal levels in one sentence. No matter what this sentence was, obtaining it itself was the goal.

Liu Zhuangshi, as the person in charge of the frontline, said actively at this time: "Director Jiang, what do you say we should do? We will execute it immediately."

His two leaders also nodded naturally.

"From the perspective of this case alone, our current clues are still a bit few." Jiang Yuan said, looking at Wang Chuanxing, and asked: "How is the investigation at home? Does Ningtai County or Qinghe City have any records of lost cars?"

Wang Chuanxing had long contacted home, immediately brought his notebook over, and said: "Our Ningtai County has no records of lost cars on that day. As for Qinghe City, there are two cases. In one of them, an SUV was lost. In the other, the driver's disappearance was reported at the same time, and a black Xiali was lost."

As soon as this was said, the room became quiet.

Using the "high degree of probability" often liked in court, normal people could guess that this was the stolen car itself!

"Tell me." Liu Jinghui also got into the spirit. He needed clues to reason.

"The car owner, Shen Shun, was 38 years old at the time of the incident, 1.75 meters tall, and weighed about 140 jin, which matches the footprint features of the male victim." Wang Chuanxing specifically looked at Jiang Yuan and added: "15 years ago, Shen Shun was a small car driver for Qinghe City Yinhai Agricultural Production Materials Co., Ltd., and the car was also the company's car. After we communicated with the family members, we learned that Shen Shun often drove the company's car to other cities to drive an unlicensed taxi."

"He is a driver?" Huang Qiangmin breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, Wei Zhengguo's suspicion was even smaller.

Liu Jinghui whispered: "A Qinghe City person, ran to Ningtai County to drive an unlicensed taxi, and picked up the victim Li Huimin? Then why go to Anwan? Would Li Huimin propose to go to Anwan?"

"Hijacked to Anwan?" Liu Zhuangshi cooperated and said: "If it was driving passengers, is it a carjacking case? If Shen Shun was driving an unlicensed taxi for operation, this is equivalent to a taxi robbery case? Calculating by time, 15 years ago was indeed a high incidence of carjacking cases."

Liu Jinghui thought for a while and said: "If it's a carjacking case, the murderer is the passenger. Is Li Huimin's fellow passenger a companion, or someone else?"

"According to our investigation into the Li Huimin case, she disappeared after work, and the people around her didn't have the motive to murder Li Huimin..." Huang Qiangmin was the criminal investigation brigade captain at the time and was very clear about this case.

"Then if it's a separate taxi robbery type of case, this case is not easy to handle." Liu Jinghui frowned.

"Indeed." Liu Zhuangshi, as the criminal investigation detachment leader, also subconsciously scratched his head.

For taxi robbery type cases, police with slightly longer seniority are no strangers to them. Police who have experienced the 90s and early 00s, not to mention every month, at least every quarter could see taxi robbery cases, and every year could see taxi robbery and murder cases.

The reason why taxi robbery is high incidence is, first of all, the taxi driver's income is stable and easy to approach.

Taxi robbery cases are ultimately property-related cases. In the 90s and early 00s, taxi drivers were considered high-income groups, with stable operating income every day, and the amount was not small. Many times, it might be higher than the monthly salary of ordinary people in a small city. As long as the robber is willing to take action, they can guarantee a sum of money.

Besides this, taxi drivers and unlicensed taxi drivers also have the factors of "hailing a taxi" and designated destinations, which reduces the difficulty of approaching. Compared with robbing shop owners and the like, robbing taxis is much more convenient. You can find one on the side of the road to commit the crime, and you can also designate a remote location to implement the crime.

Not only that, in many places, the vehicle itself can also be sold for a sum of money. For example, in Pingzhou, Shen Shun's part-time unlicensed taxi was very popular. Even taxis with obvious appearances had sales channels, and dismantling parts also earned a lot.

Therefore, robbing taxi drivers was once the first choice for many criminals who were financially strapped and lacked criminal skills. As long as there is "courage," one person or several people can easily complete the robbery. If you want to earn more, find a way to sell the car, maybe you earn more than robbing an armored car.

At the same time, what is popular with criminals and makes the police uncomfortable is that the detection of such cases has considerable difficulties.

Taxi robbery is essentially a random crime, with unspecified vehicles and unspecified victims, which is very difficult to check. Criminals often require drivers to drive the car to a designated remote location.

Finally, for taxi robbery type cases, the first crime scene is often inside the vehicle, and involving murder cases, the vehicle is either burned or sold, which makes the first crime scene disappear...

For the police, the conventional way to handle such cases is to string together cases. Because the information of a single case is often insufficient, and after the robbers succeed, it is usually difficult to abandon such a money-making path, especially for criminals who lack criminal skills, there are not many ways to get money by pure violence.

Liu Jinghui also thought of this point for the first time and looked at Jiang Yuan, asking: "Can we string together cases?"

He was still looking forward to this possibility.

Jiang Yuan gave an unexpected, but reasonable, categorical answer: "Yes!"

Such a firm answer couldn't help but make everyone at the scene look over.
