Chapter 508: It's Here

~11 min read 2,031 words

In the office, the women were crying like rain on pear blossoms, the men were also showing misery, and the police officers' expressions were also sympathetic and indignant, quite having the momentum of sharing a common hatred and fighting against heaven and earth.

Huang Qiangmin's full-faced smile was completely out of tune with the overall atmosphere.

If one had to say, Huang Qiangmin was usually a very serious person. When he was the captain of the criminal police brigade, the people in the criminal police team could eat one less meal just by looking at him a few more times, and they would go straight to the rhythm of forgetting to eat and sleep to work.

It was only because he had come to Baijiang Province, a completely unfamiliar territory in another province, that Huang Qiangmin had used up the little emotional intelligence he had accumulated.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into an inappropriate time.

Jiang Yuan followed Huang Qiangmin into the room, followed by the half-plate of technicians behind him.

As soon as they came in, they stood in an arc behind Jiang Yuan, discussing in low voices with smiles on their faces. Only then did they discover the group of victims' families with a low atmosphere opposite them, as well as the Deputy Director and his subordinates with ugly expressions.

Facing Huang Qiangmin, Deputy Xu Ju Tian couldn't say anything, so he suppressed his anger and said: "What's the matter?"

The director of the trace evidence laboratory hurriedly said: "Xu Ju, Director Huang and the others have results, they came to find you."

"En?" Xu Tian was stunned. His gaze slid from his own subordinates to Huang Qiangmin, and then to Jiang Yuan. The legend of "Ningtai Jiang Yuan, fierce flames surging" flashed through his mind like lightning, and then thinking of Huang Qiangmin's smile just now, a little hope couldn't help but well up: "What results?"

"That... about the case." The director of the trace evidence laboratory looked at the family members beside Xu Tian; he didn't dare to say it out loud now.

Xu Tian also realized that he had been stupid, patted his forehead: "Let's go out and talk."

"Xu Ju!" The family members all called out; they certainly wanted to know the latest situation as soon as possible.

Xu Tian waved his hand: "What I say might not necessarily be your case, and many plots in the case are confidential. You wait here, and I will come to notify you when I have new news."

Xu Tian said this and pulled Huang Qiangmin and Jiang Yuan out the door.

The police officers left in the office looked at each other; some hurriedly followed out, and some took out their mobile phones and started asking around.

In the corridor.

Xu Tian said while walking: "Sorry, the victims' families were very worried just now, and we were explaining to them. Everyone's mood is not very good."

"It's okay, we are guest troops, providing emotional value is also part of the service content." Huang Qiangmin smiled in a way that had no discount.

Xu Tian was a little stunned, feeling that Huang Qiangmin's tone was a bit too hard.

Xu Tian's smile retracted a little.

At this time, he heard Huang Qiangmin say: "Our Jiang Yuan just analyzed the pollen on the car abandoned by the suspect and made a pollen profile, which can relatively accurately find the area where the suspect stayed for a long time."

"Pollen profile?" Xu Tian felt as if someone had reported it to him, but he had no impression of it.

Huang Qiangmin knew that he was also a muggle, so there was no need for Jiang Yuan to come up and do an analysis, so he said directly: "We analyzed that we might be able to find the suspect's hiding place, or their safe house or something like that."

Xu Tian's smile rose again: "That's fine, that's fine... Where is it?"

"You have to find a satellite map for our Jiang Yuan, the kind with relatively high precision, and he can point it out to you when he sees it." Huang Qiangmin stated the requirement.

Xu Tian immediately said: "That's no problem, simple thing."

"That's good, let's go to the conference room, I'll call Cui Ke and the others over." Huang Qiangmin sent a message on his mobile phone, calling Cui Xiaohu and others over.

Xu Tian also contacted the IT department to come to the conference room and then called up the satellite map Jiang Yuan wanted.

That technician from the trace evidence laboratory had long since hung a paper map on the side and used a red pen to draw many circles on it; they were all places he knew had hawthorn trees.

Compared to searching inch by inch on the map, this speed was obviously much faster. Jiang Yuan thought to himself that when he went back, he should also run around Ningtai County, Qinghe City, and Changyang City, so it would be better to have a clear idea of the plants in each place.

Thinking was thinking, Jiang Yuan's attention quickly returned to the computer screen.

The IT talent next to him, who had been sent to the local area by a big factory, was using the scroll mouse unique to the unit, clicking on the first marked location, and zooming in to the bottom layer.

Jiang Yuan said: "Take a look at the range of 100 meters nearby."

The IT guy operated the mouse and keyboard and started to show Jiang Yuan the range of 100 meters nearby.

Jiang Yuan folded his arms, and after he finished showing it, shook his head and said: "Not it. Next."

The IT guy then immediately moved to another location.

Xu Tian, Huang Qiangmin, and others stood eagerly in front to watch. Although there was no result for a while, seeing Jiang Yuan so sure, they were all full of expectations.

To say the least, Jiang Yuan actually felt a little guilty. He therefore turned on the temporary +1 skill.

However, because he didn't have a perceptual understanding of LV3, Jiang Yuan didn't realize how strong the LV4 forensic botany was.

Anyway, he just looked at a place, and in minutes he could clearly judge whether it matched the pollen profile.

As for how difficult such a judgment was, Jiang Yuan himself didn't have a complete concept.

The muggles on the side naturally didn't understand even more. They watched Jiang Yuan judge one by one and felt it was a bit slow.

There really weren't many hawthorn trees in Luojin City. This brother from the trace evidence laboratory was really a plant enthusiast and knew the distribution of many plants in the city like the back of his hand.

Besides that, he also knew seven or eight out of ten places where rice was planted in the city.

Of course, the above is limited to the main urban area.

If there was no harvest within the main urban area, the workload of searching the suburbs and outside the suburbs would be large, and it could only be done slowly.

Amidst all kinds of worries, the "next" in Jiang Yuan's mouth never stopped.

Just when everyone was a little tired, Jiang Yuan suddenly said: "Stop!"

Huang Qiangmin was like a rabbit stared at by an eagle, his ears instantly stood up.

Xu Tian and the others were slow to react, and while looking over, the corners of their eyes still carried turbid confusion.

"Expand and take a look." Jiang Yuan pointed at the screen with his finger.

The place Jiang Yuan chose was a city park.

The park is located on the south side of the city, wrapping around a small hilly terrain. The main body is an old private school, which was requisitioned after the founding of the country, and then rebuilt on the original site, and a piece of land was divided into a park.

And the location Jiang Yuan pointed to was on the south side of the park, far away from the private school, and it was also a remote place in the park.

The expressions of Xu Tian, Huang Qiangmin, and others became serious.

From the perspective of a criminal police officer, the place Jiang Yuan pointed to was more suitable for burying a body than for hiding people.

Several technicians from the trace evidence laboratory stretched their heads to look at the area Jiang Yuan chose, and looked at the plants on the screen, silently experiencing it.

The place Jiang Yuan pointed to was a piece of wasteland with a small path, but no tall trees.

But there were a large number of plants above, below, to the left, and to the right of it.

A pollen profile is a collection of a series of plants. Its core is not the variety, but the proportion.

In fact, if we talk about varieties alone, forensic botany has problems. Because the pollen of many wind-pollinated plants can drift very far. According to records, pollen of certain wind-pollinated plants can be found in the Pacific Ocean.

Therefore, if someone has a certain type of pollen on them, if it is a wind-pollinated plant and the amount is very small, it is impossible to determine contact or being nearby.

But the proportion is different. Plants in a small area, especially wind-pollinated plants within a few square meters, face similar environments, so the proportion of contamination on objects is also generally similar.

This kind of pollen profile has much higher evidentiary value than the pollen of a single species.

Jiang Yuan is now looking at the proportion.

From the expanded satellite map, the proportion of hawthorn, birch, and elm trees near this area is reasonable. The proportion of pine trees is slightly less, but considering the amount of pine trees nearby, it appears even more reasonable.

"Expand a little more, can see small plants." Jiang Yuan requested again.

The IT guy then expanded the satellite map, and thus saw more plants.

The wild roses with oval leaves were blooming with yellow flowers on the roadside, the oval climbing plants were working hard on the nearby buildings, and the broad-oval nettles were attracting bees and butterflies on the slope by the roadside...

The rice, which is relatively rare in the city, occupied a piece of land alone, looking like it was wild-sown. Although there was no appearance of goosefoot family plants, judging from the weeds in the rice field, there should be a mixture if searched carefully.

Jiang Yuan calculated roughly, then didn't hesitate, pointed at the screen affirmatively, and said: "It's here."

Xu Tian and others who had been waiting for the result appeared unbelievable, saying: "Found it just like that?"

"En, the three kidnappers must have appeared in this area for a long time." Jiang Yuan's tone was even more certain.

This pollen profile was taken from the floor mats and pedals, which is equivalent to saying that the passengers in the front and back seats both left similar profiles.

The identities of the three kidnappers have now been confirmed. Although all three are unemployed, their life backgrounds are different, and they wouldn't appear in this park for no reason.

In short, they wouldn't appear here for "life," only for "business."

"Xu Ju." Huang Qiangmin looked at Xu Tian, then at Cui Xiaohu who came later.

"Understood. Hey, I didn't react for a moment." Xu Tian was urged by Huang Qiangmin before he hurriedly took out his mobile phone.

Not long after, one could hear various sounds coming from the corridor.

The special task force for this case, once started, would be on a scale of 30 people or more.

Jiang Yuan said: "I'll go take a look too."

For forensic botany, it's clearer to go to the scene to see.

Huang Qiangmin persuaded him, but couldn't persuade him, so he decided to go along.

Cui Xiaohu and others didn't hesitate either and followed.

The cadres from the ministry were all on the front line. Seeing this, Xu Tian had no choice but to follow, plus the attachments around him, the scale of the departure instantly doubled. ===== CHAPTER 509 =====
