Chapter 441: Sincere Praise

"Victim Zhou Wei, 60 years old, 175 cm tall, from Nanming, Yue Province. His daily work was a tailor, but he has been missing for a long time, and his own tailor shop has closed down because of this..."

A young police officer from the Qu'an County Bureau held a file folder and reported to everyone in a professional manner.

In the conference room, a group of leaders including the bureau chief listened very carefully.

If it weren't for the photographer darting around, looking like a big macaque while holding a video camera, this meeting would have been very serious and high-end.

Fortunately, the photographer finished shooting the front part and was led out. The bureau chief cleared his throat and said to Jiang Yuan and others: "The external propaganda side proposed to shoot, and I couldn't refuse. Well... let's continue talking about the case."

Captain Han stood up immediately and said: "Then I will talk about our next investigation direction. First, Old Qian Zeng Guoqing is an important character in this case. He is a fellow villager of the victim Zhou Wei and is an old acquaintance. According to Zhou Wei's family description and checking consumption records, Old Qian Zeng Guoqing had three high-end three-piece suits made at Zhou Wei's place..."

"Zhou Wei's explanation to his family for coming to Shannan Province was tourism. The air ticket was also bought by his children. However, shortly after arriving in Changyang City, Zhou Wei lost contact with his family. Later, his children reported him missing and came to Changyang City twice, but the search was fruitless."

"Old Qian Zeng Guoqing and Zhou Wei's time in Shannan Province overlapped, but specifically regarding their itineraries, the time Zhou Wei arrived in Qu'an County, Old Qian Zeng Guoqing should have been in Changyang City."

The deputy bureau chief in charge of criminal investigation asked: "That is to say, Old Qian Zeng Guoqing is not the murderer?"

"Yes, but we believe Old Qian Zeng Guoqing is likely an insider. We have already brought him over and are interrogating him." Captain Han's expression was a bit helpless.

The deputy bureau chief asked actively: "Is it hard to interrogate?"

"En, this Old Qian Zeng Guoqing is a bit slippery, and his words are true and false. We are verifying them." Captain Han was indeed a bit headache-prone. Old Qian Zeng Guoqing was an outsider, and many things had to be verified by criminal police sent out. On the other hand, this guy had many little secrets. Although most of them were things the police didn't want to know, in order to hide them, Old Qian Zeng Guoqing always told some lies inadvertently.

Experienced criminals actually don't lie much in front of the police. If they lie, they lie a big lie at a deep level. Ordinary small lies are meaningless and easy to lose the opportunity for sentence reduction. For them, sometimes prison is a certain situation, so there is no need to pull back and forth, and the detention center is not as comfortable as the prison, so it is better to confess early and enjoy a regular life in prison early.

Old Qian Zeng Guoqing and his lay Buddhist friends are different. It's also that their guilt is not heavy, the moral shackles are particularly heavy, and they are particularly immoral, so they can only keep lying to make up for it.

The leaders naturally don't want to hear these. The bureau chief's gaze immediately turned to Jiang Yuan, asking: "In terms of criminal science, is there any direction?"

"In terms of murder weapons, we have made a relatively detailed description. Initially, it should be an iron rod or a cylindrical object at the front." Jiang Yuan simply talked about it. The source of the corpse had been determined, and the next step was to carefully crawl for evidence, which could only be waited for patiently.

Of course, if the bureau chiefs were willing to pay a huge price to engage in the mode of spending money to save time, it was not impossible to have a plan, such as investigation...

But obviously, the bureau chiefs' attitude now was still wanting to prostitute for free.

This case is ultimately a cold case. Its attention is not at the same level as the station bombing case.

If there is any point that attracts the attention of the bureau chiefs, it is the skull reconstruction applied by Jiang Yuan.

By the time the meeting ended, the reporter who ran over proved this point.

"I heard that this case used domestic advanced skull reconstruction. Can you tell us about it?" The beautiful reporter with long legs asked questions with a smile, making people want to answer.

Jiang Yuan had also dealt with reporters many times. He was a bit hesitant when stopped, but within the scope of the police station, the probability of stepping on a mine was not high, so he answered according to the reporter's questions.

The beautiful reporter asked in detail and recorded seriously, looking like she was preparing to write a grand article.

Skull reconstruction is indeed a relatively interesting criminal science trivia for ordinary people. The beautiful reporter asked more and more, and it took quite a bit of time.

While asking, the story about the lay Buddhists also leaked out a little bit.

The reporter's eyes lit up instantly. Compared to skull reconstruction, this story seemed...

"Let's stop the interview here today." Jiang Yuan certainly wouldn't say the details of the case being investigated, waved his hand, and stopped the interview.

The reporter still wanted to ask, but Captain Han also ran over and took the person away.

Looking back, Captain Han sighed long and hard again: "Sometimes it's really troublesome. That liar doesn't confess properly, and a few female lay Buddhists are thinking about sending him in, or paying money... It's really a mess."

"The murderer should still be relatively strong, at least a physically strong male." Jiang Yuan didn't want to talk about the lay Buddhists' affairs either.

Captain Han nodded and added: "I have sent people to inquire nearby to see if anyone knows anything. Alright, let's look slowly..."

After the source of the corpse was determined, Captain Han was a bit sluggish. The bombing case he had just done was such a handsome thing, and skull reconstruction was also very handsome, while the current love affair case involving old ladies and old tailors and perhaps unrelated to them had become like ordinary daily work.

Jiang Yuan could guess a little bit of Captain Han's mind, but didn't care at all, waved his hand, and returned to his temporary office to rest.

There was a refrigerator in the lounge. Jiang Yuan took a bag of soup dumplings specially sent by his father, hit it in the microwave, put a bag of vermicelli in, and put it into the microwave again. When the "ding" sounded, a bowl of simple beef brisket noodles was out of the oven.

Jiang Yuan held the bowl and sat by the window, thinking while eating.

Logically, the source of the corpse was determined, and the case should be relatively easy to solve. It is rare that the case is still unclear...

Just thinking about this, the skull of Zhou Wei in the corner of the table suddenly spat out a small blue ball.

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment and picked up the small ball.

The small blue ball disappeared in a flash:

Zhou Wei's legacy—Tailor (LV2): Zhou Wei was a tailor for his whole life, but he didn't feel he liked this job very much, only treating it as a bowl of rice to support his family. But at the last moment of his life, what Zhou Wei thought of was the bits and pieces of his many years as a tailor. If he could have a little more time, if he could wake up a little earlier, if he could have a little less responsibility and a little more freedom, Zhou Wei might have lived more self-centeredly and happily.

Jiang Yuan read the description of the legacy twice, then patted the skull with his hand to express his gratitude.

While picking up the chopsticks again, the phone vibrated.

Jiang Yuan pressed the speakerphone, continued drinking soup, and asked: "Captain Han, what's the matter?"

"Someone confessed. It was her boyfriend she met locally who was jealous and accidentally beat Zhou Wei to death." Captain Han exhaled heavily: "Sun Sun Lijuan, her boyfriend! We are going to arrest people now."

Jiang Yuan recalled Sun Sun Lijuan in his mind. She was not one of the three female lay Buddhists who lived in the small temple for a long time. It felt like she was a marginal figure, perhaps because she was afraid, so she didn't dare to jump as fiercely as Zhang Fen and others.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look back at the skull and said: "What kind of people are these?"

"Murder is the thing that needs no reason the most. Fortunately, you confirmed the source of the corpse, and the murderer and the insider had no experience..." Captain Han suddenly wanted to explain a few more words to Jiang Yuan. Sometimes, homicide cases become cold cases, not because we don't work hard, but because there are too many strange people and things.

Jiang Yuan himself suddenly felt an urgent need.

His skills are still not comprehensive enough. Otherwise, why wait for the insider to confess?

Just thinking about this, the system jumped out in front of him again:

Task: Sincere Praise

Task content: Make peers issue sincere praise

Task progress: 0/X
