Chapter 521: Coming out to see an immortal

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Two police officers from Malaya arrived in Luojin City.

Zhong Renlong and Nicha. Cui Xiaohu and Li Haochen from the Ministry went to the airport to pick them up and returned to introduce the two Malayan police officers to everyone.

Zhong Renlong was a Malaysian Chinese, looking slightly handsome, but not tall, with slightly dark skin. He could speak Chinese and could read simplified characters. Nicha's skin was darker, and he only spoke English, requiring Zhong Renlong to translate.

Jiang Yuan and Captain Pang Jidong were recalled to the police station by an urgent call and smiled at each other. Just as they had analyzed, if the Malayans also had cases, they would definitely come very quickly.

The case itself contained pain, but for solving cases, the Malayan case would obviously bring new clues, evidence, and ideas.

"Let's look at the case first." Zhong Renlong was a foreigner, so there was no need for too many polite modifiers when speaking.

The detachment leader and others were actually too lazy to talk much with foreign police. Everyone's focus was still on solving the case, which meant resolving the matter at hand.

Soon, police officers brought out some of the case files and evidence.

Zhong Renlong sat down and translated for Nicha while reading the files.

Nicha didn't sit down; he stood beside Zhong Renlong, asking him a few questions from time to time, and then took various photos to look at himself.

Jiang Yuan sat nearby and asked the detachment leader, "Detachment Leader Wang, what kind of case is this from Malaya? Is there any information?"

"We haven't discussed it in detail yet. It's also a serial rape case, occurring in the capital. Their pressure should also be very high." Detachment Leader Wang said.

Captain Pang Jidong, on the side, couldn't help but glance at the detachment leader and said with a clucking sound, "Detachment Leader Wang, they haven't even introduced the case to us yet, and you've already given them all the files. This counts as sycophantic behavior."

"They are foreign friends. It doesn't matter for a moment." The detachment leader coughed twice.

Zhong Renlong heard it but acted as if he didn't understand, continuing to lower his head and browse the materials with Nicha.

However, they soon discovered that the materials they received were vastly different from traditional case-solving materials.

Page after page of laboratory reports, page after page of pollen photos and classification guides, page after page of plant photos from the scene...

"Forensic botany?"

After a quick scan from beginning to end, Nicha raised his head with difficulty, and the first word was this.

"That's right, forensic botany." Cui Xiaohu also repeated it in English and asked them for the Malayan case materials.

"Wait a moment, I'll get them for you." Nicha took a USB drive out of his pocket but didn't hand it to Cui Xiaohu, instead asking, "Which one is the forensic expert for forensic botany?"

Cui Xiaohu was stunned, smiled, and pushed Jiang Yuan to the front, saying, "This is our best forensic botany expert."

From his understanding, the Ministry didn't have any full-time forensic botany experts now, so calling Jiang Yuan the best didn't seem to be a problem.

Nicha looked Jiang Yuan up and down and asked in English, "So young?"

Jiang Yuan smiled, took the USB drive, and handed it to Cui Xiaohu.

Like the young people from the provincial department, Cui Xiaohu and others from the Ministry were extremely proficient with various office software and soon read all the data on the USB drive.

It was mainly some photos, and there were also a few videos of evidence collection at the crime scene. There wasn't much text, mostly in table format.

Jiang Yuan sat down and watched slowly on his laptop, while Captain Pang Jidong and others stood behind him, watching along.

Seeing the spontaneous formation of their state, Nicha knew that Jiang Yuan was indeed the core of solving the case. Recalling the materials he had just seen, he couldn't help but say in English, "I didn't know you were using forensic botany to solve cases, otherwise I could have brought some relevant materials. Wait a moment, I'll call back and let them prepare, to see if we can collect anything useful."

As he spoke, Zhong Renlong translated on the spot. After the translation was finished, Nicha took out his phone and started making a call, while Zhong Renlong said with some surprise, "Nicha is very arrogant. En... your case-solving methods are still very surprising, especially Officer Jiang's..."

Cui Xiaohu and others felt honored and couldn't help but laugh.

Jiang Yuan looked at the photos in front of him and was in no mood to joke with them for the time being.

Compared to domestic cases, the rape scene in Malaya was more tragic. In one case, the victim died at the scene, was dragged onto a car, and then discarded back at the starting point.

From the photos, the deceased was a local middle school girl, lying prone in an open space in a small woods. There were drag marks on the ground, and the direction of her head and feet was consistent with the drag marks. Her upper body clothing was still on, and her pants were pulled down to her knees...

The Malaysian side also attached the local forensic appraisal report, but Jiang Yuan only glanced at it. Just by looking at the photos, he could make many judgments himself:

There were scattered petechial hemorrhages in the eyelid conjunctiva, small patchy hemorrhages in the upper lip mucosa... there were patchy epidermal abrasions on the skin around the mouth and nose, and hemorrhages under the oral mucosa... there was soil adhesion on the back and buttocks...

The above indicated that the deceased's mouth and nose had been covered and blocked. Jiang Yuan recalled the four domestic cases, where the victims also had similar situations, but the force of the covering was not great, which could be judged from the damage inside the oral cavity. Coupled with the difference in the number of electric shocks, it showed that the perpetrator had a stronger sense of security when committing crimes in Luojin City, possibly because he was more familiar with the surrounding environment.

On the other hand, the perpetrator's level of excitement in Malaysia was likely higher. This might be the reason why he didn't commit crimes immediately after returning home but instead studied the body farm. He was likely seeking more stimulation.

Looking at the chest examination photos again, there were multiple electric shock wounds, and gastric reflux had surged up, blocking the trachea and bronchi, which was the main cause of death.

In other words, the deceased died of suffocation.

Jiang Yuan judged that the murderer should have repeatedly shocked the victim during the crime. In terms of frequency, it should have been more than just to subdue the victim; it was highly likely to seek more stimulation.

And after this second rape-murder case, two more rape cases occurred locally in Malaysia, which were also very special second-rape cases, also with multiple electric shocks, but the total amount and frequency were reduced, not reaching the level of death. Despite this, in the last two rape cases, the victims eventually lost consciousness and were dragged onto the car.

This showed that the murderer was very good at learning and even controlled his desires to a certain extent.

This was a criminal escalation behavior. Jiang Yuan recalled the small "body farm" Bao Wenxing made at home. He likely became bolder after going abroad, and his requirements were higher. He was no longer satisfied with letting the victims go. He wanted to kill the victims, or the process was more wanton, so he tried to adopt a new plan domestically.

Bao Wenxing originally had the ability to abduct young women, or rather, illegally detain them. Then, if he had the ability to dispose of bodies, he could not only satisfy his perverted desires but also better evade crackdown.

For the same adolescent girl, if she only went missing, the degree of attention received was far less than rape and death.

Nicha finished the call, obtained the consent of the Chinese side, faxed some photos and appraisal reports back to his country, and then discussed with the domestic side.

After some operations, Nicha turned back and said to Jiang Yuan, who had been reading the documents for a long time, "Officer Jiang, if I ask you to conduct a forensic botany analysis on the evidence we collected, would it be convenient?"

"It is possible." Jiang Yuan paused and asked, "Is it necessary? Your goal should be to prove that the cases were committed by the same person."

"That's right." Nicha replied and then asked somewhat uncomprehendingly in English, "Is it not necessary?"

"En, in the case where the perpetrator killed someone, there is a lot of evidence left behind." Jiang Yuan said, "I personally think that forensic botany participation is not needed to determine it."

The trouble level of forensic botany was relatively high, and it required on-site investigation by a real person. Jiang Yuan didn't really want to go to Malaysia.

Jiang Yuan opened the notebook at hand, followed the serial number recorded on it, turned to the photos he had seen before, and said, "Let me talk about the first item, the time of death of the deceased. Because it was suffocation death caused by electric shock, the time of death determined by your country's forensic experts is very general, separated by 6 hours. I think it can be accurate to within one hour..."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he drew a line in the notebook, where he had written down the time of death when he looked at the photos before: August 5th, 21:20 - August 5th, 22:20 (local time).

Seeing this, Nicha couldn't help but be stunned and said somewhat disbelievingly, "Is it that accurate?"

Level 6 was of course super accurate. The forensic experts in the whole of Malaya might not be that strong.

Jiang Yuan nodded confidently and said, "Tracing back from this time, if there is suitable surveillance or eyewitnesses, maybe evidence can be found."

If no one died, because the victim was in a coma, it was impossible to determine the specific end time of the case. Coupled with the uncertainty of the crime scene, it was very difficult to find.

But since someone died, the body itself was the strongest clue.

From this point of view, Bao Wenxing's ability to avoid investigation before had luck factors. And his criminal escalation, instead, exposed himself. So, the real world is the same as the online world; escalation is dangerous.

Nicha was still reacting.

Jiang Yuan said, "You can check this later. There are actually clues on the skin of the deceased, especially the fingerprints left on the chest and abdomen. The matching degree is actually very high..."

Zhong Renlong translated quickly, then looked at the photos and said in surprise, "This fingerprint is very blurry. Can it be matched?"

"Yes, just process the image." Jiang Yuan said, entering the software and starting to demonstrate.

Nicha and Zhong Renlong watched with furrowed brows. As they watched, Nicha took out his phone and said to Zhong Renlong in Malay, "Can I record a video? Can you do the process just now again? I want to show everyone..."

Zhong Renlong translated and added, "Nicha's meaning, in a language familiar to Chinese people, is probably... coming out to see an immortal." ===== CHAPTER 522 =====
