Chapter 336: Expedition

Jiang Yuan picked the relatively larger cases in Wen Township, and in three days, he solved four.

This was also when he began to gradually become familiar with rural cases.

Rural cases are still somewhat different from common urban cases. Besides the popularization of surveillance and other equipment, which makes the crime scenes of urban cases tend to be inside buildings, the anti-reconnaissance techniques of rural residents and urban residents are also different.

Especially in rural areas with many empty-nest elderly, the ability of perpetrators to cover up crimes is obviously weak, but with the bonus of time and space, and cooperating with case-handling personnel who lack sufficient levels, everyone is going back and forth, fighting to a draw.

The several cases Jiang Yuan solved in succession, when looking back after the cases were solved, could all be explained as cold cases caused by insufficient response.

If sufficient police force and emphasis had been given at that time—of course, it was impossible. A Wen Township only had one police station, plus dozens of auxiliary police, and the workload had long been maxed out.

Song Jinyou looked at the several cases Jiang Yuan solved and fell into deep thought.

Meng Chengbiao was older. Seeing that Song Jinyou's mood was not good, he comforted him: "Jiang Yuan doesn't play by the rules when doing cases. The several techniques he has mastered, let alone your township and county, are the best in the entire province. Otherwise, why would the Criminal Police Detachment ask him to do it?"

"You haven't looked at the list of cases we gave Jiang Yuan, have you?" Song Jinyou glanced at Meng Chengbiao. The two were actually about the same age, but he, this director, actually had a much more comfortable time than Meng Chengbiao; it was just that the work location was a bit backward.

Meng Chengbiao didn't understand what Song Jinyou was talking about and shook his head slightly.

Song Jinyou flipped through a photo on his phone and handed it to Meng Chengbiao, expanding it slightly with his hand, and said: "The cases in our township are not as many as in the city. The cold cases that have accumulated, that can reach the level of a three-year sentence, are only these few..."

Meng Chengbiao was a bit uncomprehending at first. Listening to what Song Jinyou said, and then carefully looking at the list in the photo he gave, he suddenly widened his eyes: "He did them one case after another?"

"Right, brushing through the cases in order," Song Jinyou changed a word and added: "Doing them one by one."

Meng Chengbiao didn't know how to describe it, but as a member of the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment, he was very certain that this was really a very awesome thing.

Cold cases are different from current cases; the information that can be provided varies. Coupled with the different situations of the cases themselves, the difficulty gap of cold cases and the applicable means are worlds apart.

Meng Chengbiao and Song Jinyou both originally defaulted to the idea that Jiang Yuan was picking cases to do. Just like how he picked cases before, he always had to have some cases that fit his investigation techniques to be able to start. For example, there were many footprints, many bloodstains, or the fingerprints met his requirements...

Neither of them expected that Jiang Yuan was actually doing the cases in order.

This kind of thing, at first glance, seems like just that, but thinking carefully, the more one thinks, the more incredible it feels.

As the director of the police station, a thought unconsciously flashed through Song Jinyou's mind: If this Jiang Yuan were my subordinate...

In Song Jinyou's mind, many scenes couldn't help but pop up: meritorious service and awards, promotion and salary increase, winner in life, meritorious service and awards, family gratitude, meritorious service and awards, promotion and salary increase...

Buzz...

Jiang Yuan's phone vibrated.

Song Jinyou's brain self-circulation was instantly broken.

"Section Chief Yang." Jiang Yuan answered the phone. On the other end of the phone was Yang Ling from the provincial department's fingerprint post.

Yang Ling's voice was clear and beautiful: "Jiang Yuan, there is a case here that is looking for support nationwide. For the fingerprint and trace examination part, I have reported you. No problem, right?"

"Uh, what case?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"A child disappearance case," Yang Ling said concisely: "How long will it take you to get to Guqi City?"

"Guqi City, Anping Province?... I am in a township under Ningtai County, and I am heading to the airport now. I don't know if there are any flights..." Jiang Yuan said.

"I will help you coordinate," Yang Ling answered extremely readily.

Jiang Yuan was stunned: "Is it that powerful?"

"This is a case supervised by the ministry. Do a good job when you get to the local area; don't lose face for our Shannan Province." Yang Ling was actually not very familiar with Jiang Yuan; the friendship was mainly from the fingerprint battle at the beginning. She became a bit stern at this moment, and then hurriedly added: "Do you have any other requirements?"

"I want to take a few people with me." No matter how strong Jiang Yuan's ability was, the mental consumption was very large when doing cases. Having a few more people around, even if it was just to help drive, was good.

Yang Ling let out an "En" and said: "You can take two people. If you take more, you will have to apply again."

"Then two." Jiang Yuan felt that was enough.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuan told Meng Chengbiao and Song Jinyou about the situation.

Song Jinyou had nothing to say. Aladdin's lamp could only grant three wishes. He couldn't really keep Jiang Yuan in his station either, so he could only praise with regret: "Cases supervised by the ministry, there are only a few dozen or a hundred a year. They are all truly major cases. I wish Team Leader Jiang success and victory."

"Many thanks, many thanks." Jiang Yuan was very polite to Song Jinyou. Turning back, he looked at Meng Chengbiao and said: "I plan to take Mu Zhiyang and Wang Chuanxing with me this time. Are you going back to Changyang City, or do you want to take a vacation?"

"No need for a vacation, right? I just had a vacation." Meng Chengbiao was full of the urge to solve cases. If he wanted to rest and be relaxed, he would have just slacked off directly; why would he travel thousands of miles from Changyang City to Ningtai County?

But to go back to Changyang City, Meng Chengbiao actually didn't want to go back either.

The Criminal Police Detachment was also in a state of forever lacking people. If they followed Jiang Yuan to do cases, Yu Wenshu wouldn't say anything, but if they were idle, Yu Wenshu would definitely fill them into some case. By then, when Jiang Yuan came back, they wouldn't have finished the old cases, and they wouldn't have a reason to withdraw.

Thinking of this, Meng Chengbiao said in a low voice, "Team Leader Jiang, why don't we go with you? We're already your people anyway; can Guqi City really complain about having too many people?"

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment.

Meng Chengbiao guessed: "If you are worried about the funding problem, just ask Team Leader Yu for it. The annual funding of the Criminal Police Detachment is still quite a lot, especially the travel expenses are quite high. You have solved so many cases for Team Leader Yu this year, and you have only spent a few of his pennies. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to us coming over..."

"I actually wasn't thinking about money." Jiang Yuan smiled and said: "But then again, for funding, I'll just ask Director Huang."

Meng Chengbiao asked: "It's not a money issue, what are you worried about?"

"Oh, I just feel that going with so many people actually isn't of much use." Jiang Yuan spread his hands.

Meng Chengbiao's smile for the day was exhausted.

Song Jinyou covered his mouth with his hand so he wouldn't laugh out loud.

"How about this. Ask everyone, those who want to rest can rest, those willing to go out on a business trip can go out with me. You count the number of people, and I will report to Director Huang." Jiang Yuan said.

Meng Chengbiao responded, but was a bit uncomprehending and asked: "Not telling Team Leader Yu directly?"

"Let Director Huang and Team Leader Yu settle it directly." Jiang Yuan always felt that selling the same goods twice was not very good.

8:00 PM.

Jiang Yuan took Mu Zhiyang and the other eight people and successfully arrived at Guqi City.

Guqi City is the third-largest city in Anping Province. It has its own airport and is also a resource-based city. It has a certain industrial foundation, but the main factories and companies are mainly state-owned enterprises.

The person who came to pick them up at the airport was a female police officer with shoulder-length short hair, mature and capable. Upon meeting, she took the initiative to reach out and said: "Hello Team Leader Jiang, my name is Dong Bing, and I am the liaison for our expert group."

"Have many experts come?" Jiang Yuan followed her into the car.

He had reported 9 people before setting off, and the Guqi City side indeed did not object. At this moment, they sent a Coaster, and it took everyone away.

Dong Bing said: "Including you, there are currently 6 experts who have arrived."

"Am I a fingerprint expert?" Jiang Yuan pointed at himself.

Dong Bing frowned slightly and said, "You are a fingerprint and trace evidence expert... um, that should be no problem, right?"

"Are there any other fingerprint and trace examination experts?" Jiang Yuan continued to ask.

"Our Anping Province has another trace examination expert participating in the battle. In addition, if there is a need, we should be able to get help from other fingerprint experts."

"Oh, that's good." Jiang Yuan felt relieved. He had mastered many techniques now, and sometimes he wanted to output in a different direction; he was not very willing to be limited to a single field.

Now, if there were other trace examination experts and fingerprint experts, he wouldn't have to worry about being too limited. After all, this work would very likely face a vast number of fingerprint and trace examination comparison tasks. If there were no one to share the work, he wouldn't be able to run away even if he wanted to.

Dong Bing only thought that Jiang Yuan lacked confidence. Looking at his age, she could only shake her head secretly, thinking: It's also fortunate that the province has its own experts. If we relied entirely on the ministry's arrangements, there would really be trouble. ===== CHAPTER 337 =====
