From a human perspective, it was utterly inhumane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Cui Liang was leaving, he also noticed Jiang Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan stood a head taller than those around him; it was natural he’d be noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Liang did not know Jiang Yuan was the “mastermind” behind his arrest. So when he realized Jiang Yuan was staring at him, he deliberately made a fierce expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably hoping to leave a strong impression on this young policeman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan speculated about his intentions and psychology… in criminal science, psychology was a classic case of a useless skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forensic medicine included a specialized subject called forensic psychiatry, dedicated to identifying mental illness and the like. Like forensic entomology, it was a field for geniuses to shine and for the weak to look foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan hadn’t learned the relevant skills yet, but that didn’t stop him from accumulating experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Task: Crack the Cold Case\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Task Content: Solve the Xu Hai Case No. 405\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Task Reward: Document Examination (LV3)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan gained the skill, paused in surprise, then smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Document examination skills were used less frequently in criminal investigations, more so in economic crime units.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Ningtai County, there wasn’t a single professional document examiner. Yan Ge could verify signatures, but only simple ones—anything more complex, like handwriting analysis or the condition of printed documents, had to be sent to Changyang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan felt he was filling a gap in Ningtai County’s Criminal Science Team…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Going back?” Wang Zhong stepped out from behind and greeted Jiang Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. Nothing left today.” Jiang Yuan stretched, saw Wang Zhong had packed his things, and asked: “How are you getting back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By bus.” Wang Zhong, a new cop, had no wedding home prepared and no demolition compensation—he had to live frugally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll drive you.” Jiang Yuan pulled Wang Zhong over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the cold case investigations ongoing, having someone along was safer. Better to have a trace examiner than to walk alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zhong followed Jiang Yuan, dazed and confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two walked to the parking lot and got in the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan dropped Wang Zhong off at his residence before driving home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the door, he smelled a rich, savory aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad.” Jiang Yuan followed the scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Back? Did you solve the case?” Jiang Fuzhen’s voice came from the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. The suspect had fled to the provincial capital for years—he’s been brought back.” Jiang Yuan entered the kitchen and saw his father wearing an LV-branded home robe, stirring a pot with a large spoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a small table beside the kitchen, Uncle San, Aunt Hua, and five others stared expectantly at the stove, each with a bowl of rice before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Abalone sauce rice?” Jiang Yuan recognized it at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Fuzhen grunted: “If you don’t hurry, it’ll all be gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept stirring the stainless steel tub, the thick abalone sauce oozing slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan took a plate, scooped rice, then sat quietly beside the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you solve another case?” Aunt Hua asked, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan smiled: “Not certain. Whether it counts as a solved case depends on many factors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He ran for years and you caught him—must’ve made him furious. What was he?” Uncle San asked, intrigued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Possibly death penalty level.” Jiang Yuan only revealed what he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s attention snapped to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, even the abalone’s scent seemed secondary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Fuzhen suddenly said: “Arresting someone like that must be dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe.” Jiang Yuan replied: “We should also be careful at home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t being paranoid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t the two dogs enough?” Jiang Fuzhen frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes turned to the two Dobermans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dobermans, only slightly larger than Pomeranians, now looked dumbly cute. Sensing everyone’s attention, they excitedly darted around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me mention village safety,” Uncle San said, opening WeChat: “When we were relocated, our organization was excellent. Now everyone’s slack. When people outside hear you’re from Jiang Village, their eyes light up…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they talked, they began planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Fuzhen carried the tub over and poured abalone sauce over everyone’s rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main ingredient of the sauce was chicken, pork ribs, pig’s feet, and other ingredients simmered for hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Briefly soaking cooked beef in the sauce made it incredibly satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from becoming monotonous after repeated meals, the first bite was pure deliciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, Jiang Yuan combed through cold cases but found no suitable one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked a less suitable case, worked a full day, and still got nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold cases weren’t like active ones—you could only search the case files for answers, but those files were written by the officers who handled the original investigations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So without major technological breakthroughs, solving cases based solely on files was extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Ningtai County Criminal Investigation Team felt the world was slowly returning to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, just processing two homicide cold cases was exhausting—reports piled up like mountains, and demands for supplementary investigations kept arriving. No one pressured Jiang Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lunchtime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan was ready to head out for lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Huang Qiang’s call came: “In your office? Go to the conference room and wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan didn’t ask why—he went straight to the conference room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Huang Qiang arrived with a clearly related family group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Yuan, these two are He Jingqin’s parents. And other relatives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Qiang introduced them immediately to avoid misunderstandings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan blinked, then remembered He Jingqin was the victim of the recently solved homicide cold case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sixteen-year-old girl whose entire future was stolen by a pervert’s moment of impulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yuan unconsciously avoided imagining the victim’s reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forensic Jiang, thank you,” He Jingqin’s parents looked like intellectuals, their expressions solemn and sorrowful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… no need.” Jiang Yuan looked at them, unsure what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Jingqin knew, she’d thank you too—for bringing her justice,” they said firmly, their voices low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the officers present, witnessing this, fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-20T18:55:00.150Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d5e4af8efbb028ba482e96995ecb8cebffd8b49871d9585132a71bdfaaee37d6","the-nation-s-forensic-medical-examiner-chapter-186","the-nation-s-forensic-medical-examiner-chapter-184",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-nation-s-forensic-medical-examiner-cover.jpg"]
