Chapter 167: Practical Combat

The Ningtai County Bureau appeared exceptionally quiet.

By six o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of men and women wearing shiny long trousers had merged into the traffic flow after work.

There were no pickpockets on the bus, just quietly watching the men and women in long trousers and people wearing normal shorts driving toward home.

Jiang Yuan rode a boring scooter, like a middle-aged uncle, surging out of the parking lot and merging into the crowd, like an ordinary medium-to-large livestock, driving home.

Today was another day of solving only a small cold case.

There was a bit of satisfaction, but not particularly satisfied.

It was like eating hot pot with a white broth pot, and only eating eighty percent full.

It was quite delicious, but always felt like something was missing.

In a word, the appetite had grown; for cases where people were only sentenced to two or three years, it always felt like it didn't taste right.

Other relevant departments had roughly similar feelings. For example, when the police officers at the case-handling center encountered interrogations of such criminals, they would drag it out, and the prosecutors were also going through the motions.

Police officers at all levels no longer showed the positive appearance they had when solving cold homicide cases, sometimes even dragging their feet and being unable to find anyone.

It could only be said that it was fortunate Jiang Yuan was a technician; otherwise, he would have been annoyed to death by the trivial matters of handling cases.

For several days in a row, the Criminal Police Brigade maintained this unhurried posture.

Like a water buffalo, when there was no work, it would bury its body in the water, spitting out air with a gurgling sound, and only spitting out air.

Jiang Yuan actually wanted to solve another cold homicide case, but he found two fingerprints and compared them for three days without a match, which was also helpless.

In the midst of peace, Jiang Yuan seemed to have returned to the state he was in when he first entered the Criminal Police Brigade: reading novels and watering the pothos.

The police station seemed to see everyone's leisure and soon pulled out several pre-scheduled projects.

The first was fingerprint skill training.

Each county and district sent one trace examiner, arrived at the Qinghe City Bureau on time, and was thrown into the conference room upon reaching the dormitory, each with a book, and started learning.

In a disciplined force, as long as the leaders want to, they can make training very serious.

Ningtai County sent two people: Jiang Yuan and Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong was a trace examiner who participated in training all year round—although his growth was slow and limited, it was also by this method that Comrade Wang Zhong could barely maintain an LV0.9 level, thereby ensuring the normalization of fingerprint work in Ningtai County.

Trace examiners of Yan Ge's generation rarely came out for training anymore. Employees over 35 years old are in the mature period of an employee, which means that from this point on, except for salary increases, their skills and levels are basically fixed.

Various training activities also didn't like these disobedient old folks; everyone hit it off, and those sent and received were all young people.

Jiang Yuan participated in the fingerprint skill training as a lecturer.

In fact, a large part of the reason for this fingerprint skill training was Jiang Yuan.

Training is training; first, there must be teachers to do the training.

Qinghe City used to do similar training by inviting fingerprint experts from outside to teach. Although the cost wasn't high, inviting people wasn't actually easy.

In this day and age, the transparency of information is getting higher and higher, and the pyramid shape of experts is becoming more and more obvious.

Lower-level experts don't want to come out and embarrass themselves, and there are too many people inviting high-level experts.

Qinghe City is just a prefecture-level city in Shannan Province, not prominent in the ranking of cities, and its funds are not abundant. Moreover, the City Bureau does training, and it's not just training for fingerprints.

Over the years, Qinghe City has basically only maintained the minimum fingerprint training. The content of the training is also mainly fingerprint collection.

The basis of fingerprint comparison is fingerprint collection. Each county and township collects a certain amount of fingerprints every year. It seems to be of no direct use, but in fact, it indirectly stabilizes social security.

However, the low quality of fingerprint collection has also been a problem that has plagued everyone.

The training of the Qinghe City Bureau has mainly concentrated on this aspect.

The training outline Jiang Yuan received was also like this.

Sitting in the trace examination office of the City Bureau, Jiang Yuan looked at the training outline and looked slightly silent.

How to improve the quality of fingerprint collection... this topic is actually more about management than technology.

"The textbook is old, and we haven't had time to change it. You don't have to follow the textbook." Cao Keyang, a trace examiner from the Qinghe City Bureau, said cautiously.

During the fingerprint battle, 10 cold homicide cases were smashed in one fell swoop. Such a record, no matter where it is placed, is prestigious.

Other criminal police officers can comfort themselves because their police types are different, but Cao Keyang, who is also a trace examiner, didn't have so many channels to release his emotions.

Although Jiang Yuan is young and came from a county below, to Cao Keyang, Jiang Yuan is more important than other experts from the province.

Because he is a local police officer, with the current mobility of police officers with formal positions, Jiang Yuan might stay in Ningtai or Qinghe City for the rest of his life.

There will be plenty of dealings in the future.

Jiang Yuan couldn't think of so much yet. Seeing that Cao Keyang's attitude was quite good, he flipped through the textbook and tentatively said: "Then if I don't follow the textbook, can I talk about whatever I want?"

"The main scope of our training is still fingerprints. Those who come are also trace examiners from various places." Cao Keyang hurriedly defined the scope, fearing that Jiang Yuan would deviate too much.

Jiang Yuan was a bit more confused: "Then... are there other textbooks?"

Cao Keyang hesitated for two seconds: "The ready-made textbooks are these on the market... Why don't you talk about it as you see fit? You can talk about anything."

Speaking of this, Cao Keyang actually looked forward to it.

Honestly, he really wanted to hear the fingerprint lecture from a trace examiner... or forensic doctor with a second-class merit in fingerprints. Talking about it casually might better reflect his train of thought and ideas.

"Talk about it casually, huh." Jiang Yuan wasn't stage-frightened. He thought about it and said: "Then I'll talk about fingerprint practical combat?"

The skills he obtained were inherently biased toward practical combat, and this aspect was also what he was most familiar with during his work.

"Practical combat is good." Cao Keyang nodded repeatedly and said: "Then should I post this on the official account? Our Qinghe City Bureau's official account said they would give us a spot, and we can post an article."

Jiang Yuan said "Good."

Cao Keyang confirmed again: "Which aspect of practical combat do you want to talk about? For example, is it a current case, or a cold case, or what kind of crime scene..."

"Let's do cold cases. It's not easy to find current cases on the spot." Jiang Yuan answered after thinking.

Cao Keyang responded and hurriedly went to send the message.

At this time, he was far from realizing the specific meaning of what Jiang Yuan had just said.

The next day.

Jiang Yuan came to the small lecture hall of the City Bureau.

In the country, both the Ministry and the Provincial Department do not handle cases, which is equivalent to purely administrative organs.

City Bureaus are divided into two types: one is doing cases, which is the trend in recent years, in line with the requirements of police force sinking. But there is still a considerable number of City Bureaus that still do not do specific cases.

For example, the Qinghe City Bureau.

As for the specific cases that occur within the jurisdiction of Qinghe City, they are handed over to the district bureaus and county bureaus to do.

If you are not pragmatic, you have to be formalistic.

For an administrative bureau like the Qinghe City Bureau, organizing training and similar activities is relatively active.

The bureau also built a special small lecture hall, which looks like a small tiered classroom, with corresponding teaching facilities, and can also hold meetings and gala parties.

Jiang Yuan was led to the lecturer's seat, and Cao Keyang stepped forward: "Do you want to show a PPT?"

"Just project the computer screen." Jiang Yuan brought his own laptop and placed it on the table.

This laptop was also a high-performance version from the old era equipped by the Criminal Police Brigade.

Cao Keyang helped adjust the cables and gave up the position.

In the small lecture hall, more than forty people were already sitting. Some came from county bureaus, some from district bureaus, and there were also trace examiners from the City Bureau itself. Besides that, some places even sent ordinary police officers to receive training.

In fact, ordinary police officers receiving training is a highlight of the City Bureau's training. Like some police officers in police stations, they are actually undertaking a large amount of fingerprint collection work. And before they took this position, they might only know how to use tape to stick fingerprints.

Jiang Yuan also noticed the slightly larger number of people and couldn't help but whisper: "Are there non-professional police officers?"

Cao Keyang understood what he meant and said: "It's fine, there are several classes, and it's good for you to talk about practical combat, so other police officers can see what a practical trace examiner looks like."

What Cao Keyang imagined was Jiang Yuan taking out the cases he had handled in practice to explain.

He was therefore very interested.

For those who do fingerprints, there isn't one who doesn't want to be able to match a cold homicide case one day.

Even a trace examiner like Wang Zhong, who is LV0.9, scans the database all day long, thinking about this kind of thing. He just knows his strength is insufficient, so he used the method of scanning the database.

And like Jiang Yuan, who really matched a cold homicide case, the fingerprints dug out from the database are almost the professional dream for trace examiners.

If this profession has a dream, it can only be this one.

Jiang Yuan was already sitting in the lecturer's seat, and it wasn't easy to adjust the lecture plan. After Cao Keyang went down, he cleared his throat and said: "Let's start."

Everyone started clapping obediently.

Jiang Yuan smiled, faced the microphone, looked at the screen, and said: "Because this is my first time lecturing, I want to start with a practical combat case today. Let's do it while talking about the problems encountered."

Jiang Yuan said this while opening the software and the internal network, and said: "I think fingerprints are actually like doing problems, like doing math problems. Um, let's find a typical problem to try..."

While speaking, he selected a fingerprint.

And the trace examiners who were familiar with fingerprint work also understood a bit at this time. Is this guy going to compare fingerprints on the spot?

Cao Keyang was even more confused. Didn't we say "practical combat"?

"Practical combat" and "practical combat-oriented," the difference of one character makes a big difference in meaning.

And if you compare fingerprints on the spot, what if you can't match them?

What if the fingerprint isn't in the database?

Have you thought about such a problem?

At the moment when Cao Keyang was shouting wildly in his heart, Jiang Yuan spoke slowly:

"Let's talk about fingerprint selection skills first. For example, why did I choose this fingerprint? First, it is a fingerprint with some difficulty. If it's a fingerprint with no difficulty at all, then there's no need to consider it; there's definitely no corresponding fingerprint in the database..."

"Secondly, the difficulty of the fingerprint approaching one's own limit is also a good choice. This is also conducive to one's own improvement. And it's possible to match the fingerprint to the greatest extent."

Jiang Yuan wasn't talking nonsense. From the time he obtained the fingerprint skill until now, he clearly felt the improvement in proficiency. Although it was much slower than what the system gave, if he persisted for a few years, he would surely gain something.

Among these, Jiang Yuan felt the most useful thing was to do fingerprints approaching the limit.

The police officers in the small lecture hall had calm expressions. After all, just language didn't have much stimulation.

At this time, Jiang Yuan started marking feature points.

"Let's do it once." Jiang Yuan marked more than a dozen feature points at will, taking only one or two minutes.

In the lecture hall, the whispering sounds that were originally there had long since disappeared. ===== CHAPTER 168 =====
