Chapter 51: The Devil Among Humans

Police cars drove into the compound one after another, and soon caution tape was hung around Building 4.

After Wei Zhenguo made a few calls to Huang Qiangmin, he handed over the command of the scene, only arranging for Ding Lan and the others to take a car back to the police station first.

Soon, the Changyang City crime scene investigation vehicle arrived, and several technicians entered together.

"How is the situation below?" The captain of the crime scene investigation squadron who came with the vehicle, Cao Zhouquan, looked at Wei Zhenguo and Jiang Yuan and the others while putting on and checking his equipment.

"We had one criminal police officer enter the dungeon, and no one else entered the final iron door. I have already hung up caution tape. In addition, I collected fingerprints from several door handles and wiped a few cotton swabs," Jiang Yuan answered the other party's question simply.

The captain of the crime scene investigation squadron, Cao Zhouquan, had a broad face and was a middle-aged handsome man with a traditional look, the type that easily tempts people to cheat.

He didn't expect Jiang Yuan to be able to endure such a major case and not enter the dungeon, so he couldn't help but look at him with high regard and confirm: "You didn't go in at all?"

"No," Jiang Yuan replied.

"Not bad, you're quite patient," Cao Zhouquan nodded. For a crime scene investigation in a county, being able to know when to retreat was already quite good.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan was sensible, Cao Zhouquan said politely: "Alright, if you think of anything later, just let me know."

Jiang Yuan looked at Ding Lan and the others getting into the police car through the window and added: "You can dig up the area far from the computer desk and see if anything is buried underneath."

Squadron Captain Cao Zhouquan frowned: "Buried what?"

"I don't know, maybe a corpse is buried," Jiang Yuan said without selling it short, directly: "The space below is very compact, and that area is obviously empty. The imprisoned people probably knew there was something inside. I'm guessing, but you can ask them."

"I know," Cao Zhouquan sighed: "We will focus on checking it when the time comes. If you think of anything else, tell us."

"That..." Jiang Yuan stopped Cao Zhouquan.

"En?"

"The basement doesn't look big, but the engineering volume is not small. Even if Tan Yong is physically fit, it's too difficult for one person to dig. In addition, I see that the chiseling traces in the room are messy and shallow, and it doesn't look like it was done by an adult male..."

Cao Zhouquan interrupted Jiang Yuan this time and said: "You suspect Tan Yong let the imprisoned women chisel out the basement?"

"Yes."

"Alright... it's not surprising. We will collect evidence when the time comes," Cao Zhouquan said, stopping his movements and asking: "Anything else?"

"We don't have much evidence in our hands. It's up to you next," Jiang Yuan actually wanted to follow the investigation and had the confidence to do better than ordinary technicians, but given the busy scene, he wisely didn't speak up.

Cao Zhouquan also realized at this time that Jiang Yuan was a bit unusual. In just a few sentences, Jiang Yuan had sorted out the main evidence of the case just by observing. With this level of ability, not entering the scene to do the investigation was no longer something that could be described as knowing when to retreat.

Cao Zhouquan asked himself, a few years ago, or even now, he might not have Jiang Yuan's patience. Considering the credit and so on, what decision he would make was even harder to say.

With such ability and knowing to wait for the well-equipped crime scene investigation squadron to come before doing anything, Cao Zhouquan thanked Jiang Yuan politely before calling his apprentice to go down to the vertical shaft.

Another technician carried the equipment, and the two of them twisted and drilled into the vertical shaft like broken Marios.

Wei Zhenguo and the others went down before coming over, surprised: "There's still a corpse below?"

"It's very likely. But we have to dig it out to know," Jiang Yuan realized he said it late and asked: "Should we tell Team Huang again?"

"That's how it is. If there's a homicide, we have to give it to them. We can't handle it either," Wei Zhenguo shook his head. The criminal police team has never chased the number of cases. Theoretically, they don't want major cases because there are always too many cases to handle, and the pressure and cost of handling major cases are far greater than the possible rewards.

The captain of the crime scene investigation squadron, Cao Zhouquan, stayed in the basement for a long time, during which technicians were constantly busy going up and down.

When Cao Zhouquan came up again, his traditional middle-aged handsome face had been covered by a gas mask.

"Found a corpse, initially judged to be a young female... blunt force trauma to the back of the head, undoubtedly homicide..." The squadron captain gave a rough explanation, which could be considered a reward for Jiang Yuan's self-restraint.

Wei Zhenguo asked: "Did you find Tan Yong's traces?"

"Fingerprints, footprints, and semen stains, there are plenty," the squadron captain gave a definite answer.

Wei Zhenguo and Jiang Yuan looked at each other and finally relaxed.

Although Tan Yong is a pervert, at least he is not perverted to the point of not having sex, and even less perverted to the point of wearing protective clothing while having sex. It can be said to be a glimmer of light in a dark life.

In front of Jiang Yuan, a system prompt slowly appeared:

Task Completed: Full Territory Match

Task Content: Wei Zhenguo believes that the clues to the 326 Ding Lan disappearance case may exist in the fingerprints on the bicycle. Please match the fingerprints collected on the bicycle and try to solve the case.

Task Reward: Forensic Anthropology (LV3)

Jiang Yuan accepted it calmly.

Forensic anthropology is a branch of serious forensic medicine. However, compared to forensic pathology, its actual difficulty is much higher.

If classified according to foreigners, such as the UK, forensic anthropology is classified separately as science, not medicine. Therefore, students who have studied forensic anthropology in the UK do not have a medical qualification certificate.

To introduce the branches of forensic medicine in a simple and easy-to-understand way, the most common and most in-demand is forensic pathology, which solves the problem of cause of death, that is, "how did this person die".

Secondly, the more commonly used forensic clinical medicine solves the problem of living body injury, that is, "how was this person injured".

Thirdly, forensic physical evidence, which is used from time to time, solves the problem of human tissue and human secretions, that is, "why is this shit here".

Forensic anthropology is probably the knowledge that forensic doctors are most unwilling to use. It actually solves the problem of "what is this". Starting from the most basic questions of whether this is a human or a water monkey, whether this is a man or a woman, whether this is an old man or a young man, etc., all the way to "who is this".

Jiang Yuan's skills in forensic anthropology are unremarkable, and most forensic graduates are like this. Most people learn slowly on the job.

Jiang Yuan looked at the skill he had just obtained and tentatively asked Cao Zhouquan: "Where do you hand over today's corpse for autopsy? Can I participate?"

"I'll help you ask, but it's probably not possible," Cao Zhouquan said truthfully: "A single homicide case could have been dissected in the district, but this case has a lot of influence. Both city-level forensic doctors and district-level forensic doctors will participate. I'll help you ask."

According to the police jurisdiction regulations in Shannan Province, where the case occurs, the case belongs to that place.

Therefore, the corpse was found in Changyang City, and the case would be filed in a certain district of Changyang City. The City Bureau usually does not file a case directly because the City Bureau connects to the City Procuratorate and the City Intermediate Court. If the latter judges the case, the second instance will go to the Provincial High Court, which is extremely troublesome and unnecessary, and will be scolded to death.

However, the three old forensic doctors of the Changyang City Bureau have always supported wherever there is a homicide. When encountering multiple homicide cases and cases with greater influence, they will also operate personally.

In general, within the criminal investigation, there are many situations of working together. Even in different cities, the relationship can be maintained well. The so-called criminal police in the world are one family. Everyone always has times when they need to catch people in other places and handle cases in other places, and there are many times when they work together.

And from the aspect of interpersonal communication, most of the criminal police are from police academies, and most of them work in the province. And each province's police academy is actually only one or two, such as Shannan Province, which is Shannan Police College. If you dig to the bottom, everyone is a classmate in the end. Everyone handles a case together, eats barbecue, drinks alcohol, and sings "Golden Shield Blood Cast" together, and cries loudly in minutes.

Wei Zhenguo also got the consent of Captain Huang Qiangmin before contacting the local criminal investigation detachment. After the handover was completed, he also let out a long sigh of relief.

"It can be considered an explanation," Wei Zhenguo sat back in the car, feeling that he had no strength at all.

Jiang Yuan could only say that he partially understood, followed his words, and asked: "Has this case been suppressed for a long time?"

"How should I put it... This case, back then, was just an ordinary case," Wei Zhenguo looked out the window and said slowly: "Including me, I thought of various situations, but I really didn't expect that I would really encounter such a pervert. The devil is in the world."

"It's finally broken."

"En."

"Then relax a little, at least we solved the case today," Jiang Yuan tried hard to mobilize Wei Zhenguo's emotions.

"Yeah," Wei Zhenguo smiled very ugly: "My wife, back then, also disappeared." ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
