Chapter 472: The Forensic Expert's Work

~9 min read 1,610 words

What happens when you fall from a high place? Everyone has a different answer.

Some people jump from the tenth or eleventh floor and are completely unharmed. Some people jump from the third floor and their brains splatter.

Needless to say, this one today was the brain-splattering kind.

Mu Zhiyang felt no sympathy for him, only disgust, and shouted, "It splashed on my face!"

"I'll help you wipe it off, stay alert." Jiang Yuan took out a wet wipe and said first, "I'll help you wipe your right goggles."

Mu Zhiyang gave an "En" and lowered his gun-holding arm slightly to relieve his tension.

"Now I'll help you wipe the left side." Jiang Yuan threw the wet wipe away after using it. At this point, there was no need to worry about what the scene looked like; they were the scene itself.

The two goggles were wiped a bit cleaner, and Mu Zhiyang's mood improved slightly. Jiang Yuan handed him another wet wipe to let him wipe his own face, and finally changed his own mask.

During this process, the three of them were also staying alert while reporting points.

The most dangerous assault entry had actually already ended. Although the drug trafficking gang's planned resistance existed, it was actually just self-satisfaction.

Not to mention that the police's equipment and numbers were clearly superior, even regarding the advantage of terrain, over these two days, the police had obtained as much as possible through blueprints and other means. Added to Jiang Yuan's point reporting, the internal advance was just a matter of speed.

Of course, if the police wanted zero casualties, it would always require a bit of luck, but the difficulty for the drug traffickers to escape was already very high.

Mu Zhiyang listened to the walkie-talkie; the assault team had already reached the fourth floor. His mood also relaxed slightly, and he muttered in a low voice, "I don't know what this idiot... beep... was thinking. A fish-leap dive out, just to splash a bit further?"

"People who haven't dived don't know that bending 90 degrees in the air requires practice." Jiang Yuan recalled the information he had seen and said, "Many people jump off bridges, stretching their arms straight wanting to enter the water, and end up breaking their arms horizontally... It should still be a problem with the projection angle; they need to practice a few more times."

"Let them practice in the King of Hell's palace. For people like this, deep-fried in a wok until crispy, then when they come out and you knock them, they'll just shatter and cover the ground." Mu Zhiyang said, feeling uncomfortable all over, and continued to advance around the wall.

The area of this building wasn't very large, but it was very difficult to see from the east side to the west side through the infrared camera. Moreover, at a distance of over 50 meters, it only had the value of reporting points at most; it wasn't possible for Jiang Yuan to perform footprint analysis.

Therefore, the three-person team had to frequently detour, and Mu Zhiyang's shield was always ready to be raised above his head. What he was most worried about now was someone jumping over the wall like a dog in a desperate situation, jumping out of a window upstairs, or someone throwing a grenade or something from upstairs, or simply poking their head out to shoot.

Even if there were armed police snipers around the building, honestly, monitoring all hundreds of windows of a building and reacting in the first instance, and hitting the target accurately, this requirement was a bit too high.

If they did it, the snipers should be commended. If they couldn't do it, the three-person team probably wouldn't even have the chance to hold anyone accountable.

Mu Zhiyang could only pull himself together.

Fortunately, the battle upstairs ended quickly. The arrest team reported the situation while quickly reinforcing the basement.

The basement was where the drug manufacturing factory was located; the biggest fear was that the evidence would be burned. However, compared to upstairs, the risk in the basement was even greater. The Anti-Drug Detachment eventually sent an assault team to break in but not go deep, mainly to control the entrance and wait for reinforcements.

Fortunately, the drug dealers in the basement didn't use explosions or arson to resist. After the first ten minutes passed, the situation gradually became clear.

Detachment Leader Yin also ordered immediately for Jiang Yuan to follow the team escorting the suspects and slowly retreat.

In theory, Jiang Yuan could continue to perform on-site investigation to collect evidence and continue to search for criminal suspects.

However, with the criminal gang cleared out, other trace examinations could actually be done quite well; it wasn't a task that absolutely required Jiang Yuan.

Temporary Combat Command Room.

Jiang Yuan entered, dirty and messy. Huang Qiangmin stepped forward himself to help him take off his equipment.

Several leaders of the Anti-Drug Detachment also relaxed, turned their heads to look at Huang Qiangmin's behavior, and their faces were full of disdain.

"Purely buying people's hearts." The Political Commissar shook his head continuously.

"It feels like the cows in our hometown, just after plowing the fields, get this kind of treatment—personally unyoking the plow, feeding them water and food. If you have the ability, don't let them plow the fields." The Deputy Political Commissar said.

Looking up again, Detachment Leader Yin brought a cup of water and handed it to Jiang Yuan, saying, "Drink some water. When I was young, every time I finished a mission, the thing I wanted most was water."

Jiang Yuan was indeed thirsty. He picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Detachment Leader Yin pulled a pot from behind and refilled it for Jiang Yuan. The warm water, neither hot nor cold, felt warm and cozy when it reached his stomach.

Jiang Yuan drank it all in one gulp again before feeling more comfortable, and asked, "Did you catch Huang Li?"

"Caught him, but the problem hasn't been completely solved either." Detachment Leader Yin looked at Huang Qiangmin next to him and smiled on his face.

Jiang Yuan asked, "What other problems are there?"

"Privately, we call it the Huang Li drug trafficking gang, but we aren't very clear about the specific composition and specific organizational form of this gang. In the past, when we did cases, we would figure it out first, but couldn't catch the people, and would rack our brains trying to figure out where the gang's leaders were and where their lair was. This time, the arrest was relatively urgent, and everyone was caught, but we don't know who the leaders are or who the management layer is."

Jiang Yuan gave an "Oh" and said indifferently, "Just execute them all by shooting."

Detachment Leader Yin was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "If it were up to me to sentence them, I would also be willing to sentence them all to death. I'm just afraid there might be omissions. If their internal organization is tight and they have a prior plan, and one or several core figures get a light sentence, that would be a huge loss."

Jiang Yuan nodded as he listened. There was indeed such a risk. The drug trafficking gang setting its headquarters in the city center and arranging the drug manufacturing factory in the basement itself had a certain nature of being opportunistic.

Detachment Leader Yin smiled, leaned close to Jiang Yuan, and said, "Later, I'll have to ask Team Leader Jiang to take another look at the crime scene. We will also strengthen the interrogation to see if there is any evidence to work with."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan agreed immediately.

"Then we'll stay for two more days." Huang Qiangmin's head poked out from the other side and said, "Jiang Yuan's technique for crime scene investigation is very good. If you want to find core members and other situations, you can carefully investigate their main offices, conference rooms, and even the inside of the safes, looking for fingerprints, DNA, etc. I suggest assigning two to three more on-site investigation members, which can speed up the progress."

The last sentence was the main purpose.

Detachment Leader Yin laughed: "What should be assigned will definitely be assigned."

"Then our main work here is done, and Jiang Yuan is exhausted. We'll go down to rest for two hours first. We'll come back after you finish cleaning up the battlefield. We'll talk later." Huang Qiangmin pulled Jiang Yuan away and gave Detachment Leader Yin a gesture of making a phone call.

The battle in the main building should have ended, but whether there were hidden criminals or hidden compartments, it still needed to be checked and searched.

For this kind of scene, it wasn't that urgent for the investigation personnel to enter.

Detachment Leader Yin agreed quickly. If you think about it, what Jiang Yuan had done had already far exceeded his expectations. And Huang Qiangmin's stance was clear enough.

"Is Old Jin back?" Detachment Leader Yin asked his own Deputy Detachment Leader.

"Not yet. He's searching in the basement." Another Deputy Detachment Leader who had been staring at the scene replied, then added: "The amount of drug money and drugs is huge. This trip of ours is really going to explode."

"That's good. En... I'll go to the basement to take a look. Ask Old Jin, if he's tired, he can come back to rest. He's been running around for a day, and he's not young anymore." Detachment Leader Yin said and asked someone to get his equipment.
