Chapter 422: Meritorious Service

The serial killer case was solved, and the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment was as happy as if it were a holiday.

Criminal police are people who live by logic, and everyone understands one thing very clearly: for cases like serial murders, if they cannot be solved, then from now on, regardless of cold or heat, spring or autumn, sun or moon, there will be no more holidays.

It is not that unsolved cases are terrible; the requirement that "homicide cases must be solved" has also loosened in recent years, especially in a provincial capital city as large as this. Forcibly requiring all cases to be solved is also unreasonable in some places.

However, the terror of serial murder cases lies in the fact that as long as you don't solve the case, the killer will keep committing crimes until you discover and arrest them. They might stop in the middle, but that is the killer's own choice. It might be because they were arrested for a traffic accident, it might be because they got married, it might be because they had children, or it might be because of an accidental injury or death. The problem is, you don't know which situation it is. Maybe at some point, they will commit crimes again because of some opportunity.

For the police, such a killer is an absolute nightmare—specifically referring to those killers who have the ability to evade police arrest.

Most perverts who have the heart to be serial killers are actually just simple and weak perverts. Most people don't show their serial killer traits, and they might be caught when they kill the first person.

A serial killer who killed three people in one breath and also invited Xu Taining and Jiang Yuan—it was only after he was caught that people's hearts and minds were relaxed.

The Director was also very relieved. The day after the arrest was approved, the report in the "Changyang Evening News" was released.

Next was the interview report from the satellite TV station, which cut out some of the footage that could be released, highlighting the collective, and also including the figures of Yu Wenshu, Jiang Yuan, and others.

For ordinary police officers, this was already a relatively high-profile report.

However, Jiang Yuan didn't care too much. People without money want fame, hoping that after having fame, they can be noticed and have money. As a person from Jiang Village, Jiang Yuan had long had enough of the feeling of being noticed. If he wanted interviews and reports, there were plenty of opportunities.

By comparison, the meritorious service and award ceremony in Changyang City was more anticipated by Jiang Yuan.

Yes, the meritorious service assessment in Luyang City had been sent up but not yet approved, while the case in Changyang City was done and there was one immediately. This was the embodiment of the different levels of different cities.

By the weekend, Huang Qiangmin had rushed to Changyang City.

Together, they witnessed two criminal police officers from their own Ningtai County receive a second-class merit and a third-class merit, respectively.

The one who received the second-class merit was Jiang Yuan. The one who received the third-class merit was Mu Zhiyang.

Jiang Yuan receiving the second-class merit was well-deserved. After all, it was achieved by hard work with LV6 skills. The killer of the serial murder case was also equivalent to being ferreted out by his own efforts. The Director saw the funds saved for Changyang City, and he was smiling even in his dreams.

Mu Zhiyang receiving the third-class merit... was also well-deserved. The bandage wrapped around his head was three circles and then three more circles, and his head looked big. No one dared to say that a criminal police officer injured on duty was not worth a third-class merit.

The US military also has a Purple Heart Medal to prove combat injuries. Mu Zhiyang, a criminal police officer from Ningtai County, traveled thousands of miles to Changyang City to participate in the local case investigation work, went deep into the forefront of the battle, and was heroically injured. Naturally, he deserved a third-class merit.

When the two received the awards, there was laughter and joy underneath.

Moreover, in addition to the two, several other criminal police officers from Changyang City also received awards. It was not necessarily because of this case, but the merits accumulated previously could also be cashed in this time.

Stepping down, Jiang Yuan held the medal of second-class merit, and a system interface popped up:

Criminal Image Technology (LV2) +

Document Examination Technology (LV2) +

Trace Examination Technology (LV2) +

Biological Evidence Examination Technology (LV2) +

The skills after meritorious service and awards are optional. Jiang Yuan has also seen the entire list many times.

Jiang Yuan's gaze wandered for a moment, but he didn't make a decision immediately.

The existing skills are enough to deal with normal cases. If he really encounters a case that he can't handle later, it just shows that his arsenal is lacking, and it will not be too late to choose then.

While his brain was spinning wildly, people from the police circles everywhere came to meet him.

Changyang City is a provincial capital. Whatever happens, it immediately spreads throughout the province. For the police circles in the province, the attention of serial murder cases is absolutely top-notch.

In terms of the difficulty of the case, this kind of case is no lower than normal homicide cases.

And Jiang Yuan's investigation process actually illustrates this point.

What a bizarre method!

What difference does a nail have!

The prosecutor in charge of this case must have had his hair plucked bald!

But it was solved.

In this case, whether to say it or not, Jiang Yuan's fame expanded instantly. Because everyone doesn't say it on their lips, what they actually like in their hearts are bizarre methods.

Some police officers who know Jiang Yuan, especially the captains of various criminal police teams, will greet Jiang Yuan and say a few more words when they see him.

Huang Qiangmin squatted directly behind Jiang Yuan, standing out from time to time to chat with colleagues who didn't know the ropes...

In the auditorium, it was full of a joyful atmosphere.

Li Ting changed into a capable shirt and short skirt, came to Jiang Yuan's side with a smile, pretended to be interviewing, reached out empty-handed in front of Jiang Yuan, and smiled: "Comrade Jiang Yuan, what is your mood now?"

"Ha, I thought you would really interview me." Jiang Yuan looked behind Li Ting, and there was no cameraman following.

"We are a satellite TV station. It's not bad for you to have 5 seconds of footage today." Li Ting paid attention to Jiang Yuan's expression half-jokingly.

Jiang Yuan had been a policeman for so long, and his sensitivity naturally increased, so he asked: "Is there something?"

"Well, there is something, I don't know if it's suitable to say." Li Ting's expression gradually became more serious.

What could happen when looking for the police, and what good things could happen! Jiang Yuan curled his lips and said: "Judge it yourself, I can't give you any guarantees."

Li Ting's expression stagnated, then she smoothed her hair and smiled: "Captain Jiang, you are really cold and heartless. We were eating at the same table two days ago."

"Criminal cases are usually eating prison food." Jiang Yuan said.

Li Ting hurriedly said: "You misunderstood, I don't want to plead for a certain case..."

Jiang Yuan looked at the direction of the auditorium door. At this time, some attendees had already walked out, and he was also preparing to leave.

Seeing this, Li Ting could only grit her teeth and say: "Captain Jiang, please wait a moment. I have a friend's request here. His elder was kidnapped. The kidnappers demanded not to report to the police and proposed a large ransom..."

Jiang Yuan's gaze turned back: "Didn't report to the police? When did it happen?"

"This morning. They found me at noon because they knew I often reported news about the police station, so they hoped I could help and see if there was a safer way to solve this case." Li Ting paused and said: "I thought about it, and felt that if Captain Jiang you take action on this case, it would be the best choice."

She could be considered to have flattered Jiang Yuan calmly.

However, regarding this case, Li Ting's consideration was already extremely thorough. Although she also knew the Director and Yu Wenshu, she was not actually familiar with them, and their ranks were relatively high. Not to mention that they would likely not keep it secret for her, even if they were willing to keep it secret and solve the case, they would not actually take action personally, and in the end, they would still delegate the case to a specific executor.

In Li Ting's view, it was better to find Jiang Yuan.

On the one hand, Jiang Yuan has his own team, which not only has the ability to investigate cases independently but can also minimize the scope of people who know. On the other hand, Jiang Yuan himself is from another county and has little contact with Changyang City, so to some extent, he can also keep it secret.

Li Ting had learned about some kidnapping cases. Although some cases were solved perfectly, some cases encountered kidnappers with unstable emotions, and they even tore up the ticket in the middle or even at the beginning. If this was the case, it would be too tragic for the victim's family.

Jiang Yuan turned to look at Li Ting and said: "You found me, and you have already reported to the police."

"I know, but please help, can you control the case within the scope of your team." Li Ting paused, and had no intention of hiding it anymore. She looked left and right and whispered: "The victim is in the frozen food business, and the company scale is already 9 digits. It can be in a private name..."

"I don't lack money. Wait a moment, I'll find our Director Huang." Jiang Yuan said, looking left and right, and then signaled to Huang Qiangmin not far away with his eyes.

Huang Qiangmin's expression collapsed, and he frowned and came over: "Not talking about love?"

Li Ting couldn't stop it in time, and could only give Huang Qiangmin a smile: "Director Huang, I am a reporter from Shannan Satellite TV, Li Ting."

"Hello, hello. Is there a case?" Huang Qiangmin was also very sensitive. If it were other things, Jiang Yuan would not call him over.

Jiang Yuan didn't care about Li Ting, nodded and said: "Kidnapping case. Where did it happen?"

For the latter sentence, he looked at Li Ting.

"Hongmen Market." Li Ting could not hide it now. Hongmen Market is a wholesale market south of Changyang City, and its scale is quite large.

Huang Qiangmin said: "This is a case in Changyang. A case that happened in Changyang City, by people in Changyang City..."

Li Ting acted like a spoiled child: "Director Huang... help, please ask Captain Jiang to take a look..."

Huang Qiangmin pondered slightly: "I'll talk to Deputy Detachment Chief Yu for a few words. Don't worry, it won't affect this side."

Li Ting was reluctant, but could only watch the scope of people who knew expand. She actually understood in her heart that from the moment the victim's family found her, saying anything about not reporting to the police was just deceiving herself.

"Okay. Let's go." Huang Qiangmin went over and said a few words and came back, taking Li Ting and Jiang Yuan out in high spirits.

Criminal police from other counties would just be looking for a scolding if they took such a case, but criminal police from Ningtai County could.

"Director Huang is back?"

"Back."

"Jiang Yuan is amazing!"

"Ningtai Jiang Yuan, the fierce flames are surging!"

Along the way, everyone greeted Huang Qiangmin and Jiang Yuan. Including people from criminal police teams in other counties, their smiles were even wider.

Huang Qiangmin's head was raised even higher. ===== CHAPTER 423 =====
