Chapter 394: As Everyone Knows

"Sir, free dog license, let me issue one for you, alright?"

"If you don't get it now, you'll have to go to the police station to get it later. When there are too many people, you'll have to queue, and you'll have to pay two yuan for the card fee. Get it now, and it's waived for you directly."

"Hey, let me take a photo of your dog. You keep this certificate, you can just save it on your phone. You can bring the certificate later, or you can have the photo of the certificate on your phone."

Police officers were scattered throughout the county, especially in the area near Song Xiang, and they would issue licenses whenever they saw someone walking a dog.

To be honest, the licenses issued now are actually of no use. It's just like when they first stood at the entrance of hotels and asked everyone to use their ID cards to check into rooms; people with problems won't foolishly rush up.

However, once more licenses are issued, just like after hotels and internet cafes started requiring ID cards, some monsters and demons will easily reveal their flaws.

This is position control. Once the positions are built, whether you take the initiative to attack or sit and wait for criminals to throw themselves into the net, it will have an effect.

The police officers from Jiang Yuan's cold case task force played a huge role. To be honest, the police officers from the criminal investigation detachment of the provincial capital city have had their recruitment standards become somewhat like management trainees in the involution of the past few years. Although it is completely unnecessary, because there are too many applicants, the requirements can only be constantly raised, and the constantly raised requirements and extremely low acceptance rates have led the newly hired police officers to have beautiful expectations for the future...

Many civil servants who start to become decadent in their thirties are mostly desperate in such a cycle.

Wang Chuanxing and others came to Jiang Yuan's cold case task force, also trying to strive for a new path of promotion. And their management talent, or rather, the management talent they expected, only today could be considered to have found a place to be useful—the grassroots workers from the community, some activists from schools, and some grassroots police officers were still willing to listen to commands, while the cadres promoted to the neighborhood office could only manage themselves.

Liu Jinghui didn't care. He had seen too many complex situations; the situation in front of him could be considered a very harmonious one. Sometimes, for some reason, having a disagreement with the local criminal investigation team on the direction of the investigation is what's fatal.

Now, Xu Xuewu just couldn't spare the attention for them.

"This is about enough. According to the current efficiency, in at most three or four days, most of the dogs in the county will probably have their dog licenses. We have also sent people to nodes like pet shops and pet hospitals to check from time to time. If we can find Guihua from dog food, vaccines, or pet grooming, that would be best. If not, we'll see if anyone adopted it. If that doesn't work, there's nothing we can do." Liu Jinghui didn't mention problems like dog meat trucks or dog markets; this area was the first place they had investigated.

However, compared to pet shops and the like, the management difficulty of dog markets is several orders of magnitude higher. If Guihua went there, the significance of tracing it further would not be great.

Fortunately, Guihua is a pug with little meat.

Jiang Yuan couldn't think of a better idea either, and just asked: "If we want better results, what can we do?" Liu Jinghui raised his eyebrows: "Do you still want better results? Did this dog repair bridges and pave roads in its past life?"

"The ones who repaired bridges and paved roads are civil engineering dogs; a pug might have been a programmer in its past life." Jiang Yuan cooperated with the sarcasm.

Since the atmosphere was there, Liu Jinghui sighed and said: "If position control wants to have good results, we have a special term: strengthen position control. Besides setting up the basic links well, the key is that the execution must be powerful, the inspections must be diligent, the punishments must be fast and fair, and there should be appropriate rewards. This is not just a matter of funding; it also requires people to be invested, and the organizational degree must be high."

If the inspections are not effective, the position is just a mere formality.

Jiang Yuan nodded. He couldn't conjure up people either, so he could only look at Miaohe County to see if they could spare some time. The key is whether Liao Baoquan can be interrogated.

However, the result everyone was looking forward to did not become a reality after all. Afternoon.

Feng Qiong specially convened a meeting to report the results.

"... Liao Baoquan knows he will definitely die, so he refuses to confess." Feng Qiong said a very long paragraph, but it was this ending paragraph that had practical significance.

This result cannot be said to be unexpected, but it is a result that all parties are somewhat unwilling to accept. Feng Qiong talked for so long, just to give

everyone a space to ease their emotions. Psychological techniques didn't play a role during the interrogation, so they could only be used when holding a meeting.

Guan Xingfu, the director of the Miaohe County Bureau, picked up a cigarette and lit it. Click, click, click.

The sound of lighters immediately rose and fell.

Everyone was holding back quite a bit. With a leader taking the lead, the clever ones wished they could finish one cigarette immediately and then light another one to continue slowly.

The meeting room was instantly filled with smoke. Director Guan Xingfu said: "Sorry, I'm an old smoker. That... Division Chief Feng, I represent the Miaohe County Bureau in expressing our stance: we firmly support the investigation work of the task force..."

After the director, the executive, and others finished their brief speeches, Feng Qiong and Kang Zhichao cast their eyes on Liu Jinghui and Jiang Yuan.

They had no expectations for the investigation ability of Miaohe County, but the resumes of Liu Jinghui and Jiang Yuan were quite beautiful, and they were also seen by the two as a powerful supplement to this trip.

After all, a simple two-person combination cannot solve a case.

Jiang Yuan reached out from the middle of the conference table, pulled over a stack of photos, and looked at them one by one.

He hadn't intervened in this case from the beginning. For him, finding the dog was serious business; other work was being done by specialists, so there was no need to appear as if they couldn't do it without him.

Even the photos involving Case 503, Jiang Yuan only now had the time to read them carefully. He looked at them slowly.

Liu Jinghui next to him glanced at him, and could guess that Jiang Yuan's mind was on Guihua. He shook his head secretly and said: "On our side... because we have been assisting Miaohe County in doing this position control recently, if there is a need, we can also help..."

Kang Zhichao suddenly laughed "hehe", and said: "Finding a dog."

With the "leader" from the capital city taking the lead in laughing, how could the others in the meeting room hold back? They all laughed "hehehe".

This bizarre thing had almost become a fixed joke for the Miaohe County Bureau in the past few days.

Feng Qiong was not like Kang Zhichao, who was into technology; he still wanted to use the two of them, as well as the police force of Ningtai County. He coughed twice and said: "First, we must affirm Miaohe County, as well as Jiang Yuan's cold case task force, for digging deep into the case and catching Liao Baoquan, the suspect who had been on the run for a long time in Case 503. For the other accomplice, my current idea is this..."

"Liao Baoquan worked and lived in Miaohe County for several years. This period should also be the time when he was relatively relaxed and free. Check his contacts during this period and compare them with his contacts before the case to see if we can get some clues."

"Secondly, the items in Liao Baoquan's home must be checked and checked again. Liao Baoquan bites to death and refuses to confess; it may be because of his personal will, or it may be that he was grasped by some handle by his accomplice. Of course, it may also be a personal emotional appeal. In this regard, we must study it clearly."

"Finally, we can start with Liao Baoquan's family and business partners to see if we can dig out some clues." Feng Qiong was also very capable; he spoke very logically and quickly outlined the key points of the work.

However, Jiang Yuan was used to cooperating with Liu Jinghui. Compared with that, it was obvious that Feng Qiong's judgments were relatively cautious judgments based on current information. Summarized, there were three points: search Liao Baoquan's home, check Liao Baoquan's interpersonal relationships, and check the changes in Liao Baoquan over the past few years.

In terms of breadth, Feng Qiong's investigation coverage was sufficient. However, he lacked a bit of the depth of Liu Jinghui's reasoning.

Liu Jinghui's reasoning was always able to bravely take a step forward based on existing information. It might not necessarily yield results, but if a case was viewed as a chess game, Liu Jinghui's reasoning could often form an exquisite move.

Feng Qiong was a bit routine. From Jiang Yuan's perspective, this expert from the ministry, at least in terms of specific criminal investigation business, could only be considered standard, Level 2.3, and no more.

However, for a major case like Case 503 from ten years ago, there was nothing wrong with being steady and solid. Just like the Guihua disappearance case, if there were no clues, there were no clues. Besides helping to build a position control system in a steady and solid way, Liu Jinghui

also didn't have a sudden burst of inspiration to make any exquisite move.

Jiang Yuan then lowered his head and continued to look at the photos one by one.

Feng Qiong specially looked at Jiang Yuan after finishing his speech, and said: "When this case reached the ministry, Anhai City had already organized two thousand-person screenings, but they couldn't block the two suspects. Therefore, it was determined at the time that the two should be locals of Anhai City, at least familiar with the local situation. In addition, it was predicted that the two had a relatively meticulous plan..."

Feng Qiong summarized the previous investigation: "Later, it was me and my master Yu Shuguo who went to Anhai City. We held certain reservations about the judgment of the Anhai City Bureau at the time. After all, attacking an armed police officer was too fierce to be called a meticulous plan... Despite this, the criminal investigation work in Anhai City was still very solid. It is indeed a pity that the case was not solved, but we must both re-examine and investigate the foundation of some previous cases and give a certain amount of trust..."

"What I'm thinking about mainly has two points. We should adjust our mindset. First, don't be afraid of making mistakes. We must have done many things wrong before; if there is a mistake, correct it. Second, in the short term, we can focus our criminal investigation on Liao Baoquan's recent years."

Currently, the most important evidence and clues for Case 503 are Liao Baoquan. Feng Qiong's focus on solving the case can only rely on this.

Despite this, because Liao Baoquan drove a refrigerated truck for the first few years, running all over the country, it is relatively difficult to conduct a detailed investigation.

Feng Qiong looked at Jiang Yuan at this time, then looked at Guan Xingfu, and said: "Director Guan, regarding manpower, can you please help coordinate? In the initial stage, there may be many business trip tasks, which are relatively heavy..."

"No problem." Guan Xingfu also glanced at Jiang Yuan, but he still knew the priorities. Jiang Yuan raised his head, took a sip of water, and said: "I'll say two things."

"Please speak." Feng Qiong smiled, preparing to shoot him back when Jiang Yuan mentioned the dog. Then he heard Jiang Yuan say: "As everyone knows..."

The people in the meeting room all had "as everyone knows" smiles on their faces.

Then, they heard Jiang Yuan say: "As a forensic doctor, I have some insights into the determination of the time of death of a corpse..."

No bragging, Jiang Yuan is Level 6 in time of death determination. In the world, those who can have more insights than him in this regard can be counted on the claws of a dog or cat.

Of course, the people in the meeting room hadn't realized the huge gap here, and the smiles of thinking of Guihua still appeared on their faces.

Then they heard Jiang Yuan continue: "I just focused on looking at the photos of the bodies of the first victim, the armed police officer He Boyong, and the second victim Dou Dingqiang. From the photos, both died of blood loss caused by fatal stab wounds. The time of death was within 8 hours. However, specifically to how many hours the time of death was, I think there is a misjudgment here."

Jiang Yuan paused, pushed the two photos to Feng Qiong and Kang Zhichao, and said: "The first victim shouldn't be He Boyong, but Dou Dingqiang. The time of death of the two differs by 1 to 2 hours, personally I lean towards 1 hour. That is to say, Liao Baoquan and his accomplice killed Dou Dingqiang first, and then killed He Boyong."

Feng Qiong looked at Kang Zhichao for the first time, wanting to get confirmation.

If what Jiang Yuan said was true, then the investigation direction of this case would have to undergo a fundamental change. Moreover, it should start from Anhai City on the day of the case!

The people from Miaohe County present looked at Jiang Yuan in astonishment, inexplicably producing different degrees, different dimensions, and different angles of admiration. ===== CHAPTER 395 =====
