Chapter 522: People are cheap when they leave their hometown

~9 min read 1,635 words

The fingerprints left on the body were also a blunder by Bao Wenxing.

In order to pursue pleasure, after he shocked the victim unconscious, he would take off his gloves to do the deed. This wasn't too much of a problem when the victim was alive, because the metabolism of a living person would, to a certain extent, eliminate the traces he left on their skin.

However, after Bao Wenxing escalated his crimes, this habit of his did not change. After the victim died, the bruises immediately became much heavier.

However, regarding the fingerprint traces left by Bao Wenxing, it was very difficult for normal forensic experts to extract usable fingerprints, and wanting to match the murderer was even more of a pipe dream.

However, Jiang Yuan applied imaging technology and quickly managed to clear up the several fingerprint fragments that were in a mess. Then, Jiang Yuan merged these fingerprints together, barely piecing together a semi-crippled fingerprint available for matching.

Through Jiang Yuan's organization, the clearest fingerprint finally obtained was a three-quarters fingerprint of the right index finger.

The missing quarter was left empty, as if it were a fingerprint with a few small pieces broken in the middle.

This kind of fingerprint shape was also "daddy-level," the kind that normal trace examiners would call "daddy" when they saw it, but... Jiang Yuan... Level 5... right...

For the sake of international friends, Jiang Yuan performed another fingerprint demonstration on the spot.

Nicha didn't record it last time, but this time he filmed the whole process, and in his mind, he compared it with the process in his memory from last time.

This was his cunning side. If a certain action was fabricated, it was impossible to replicate it a second time.

Jiang Yuan's two actions were basically consistent. Seeing this, Nicha became even more obedient, sent the video email back, and waited patiently for the domestic reply.

Zhong Renlong translated, and in the meantime, used down-to-earth Chinese, "God, the forensic experts on our side might also need to discuss it, maybe they have to consult others. There is no other meaning, it's mainly a strength issue."

Without Jiang Yuan saying anything, the detachment leader couldn't help but laugh, "Verification is still necessary. By the way, I'll find a reporter later, you record the words just now a few more times."

Jiang Yuan recorded how to make body fingerprints a few more times, and let Zhong Renlong record the translated words a few more times. The latter felt it seemed a bit reasonable and nodded hesitantly.

The detachment leader's face was beaming with smiles, and looking at Huang Qiangmin again, it was like looking at a giant salamander.

Soon, Nicha held a video conference, allowing his country's forensic experts, criminal technology technicians, criminal police, and leaders to face Jiang Yuan directly.

According to Jiang Yuan, the case was almost over by this point.

Of course, it was a good thing that the case was over, but for the Malayan police, they didn't have the criminal suspect in their hands. They couldn't try the criminal suspect, nor could they take him back to serve his sentence, so they needed more conclusive evidence.

Jiang Yuan naturally didn't care about this.

The detachment leader and others attached great importance to this.

Soon, the special task force led by the director was rearranged.

Everyone reordered, found someone to take photos, and the inspection work on the opposite side was also about done.

"The fingerprints are indeed a match." The fingerprint expert from the Malayan side gave the appraisal result on the spot.

Bursts of applause suddenly came from the scene and the speakers.

The director looked at Jiang Yuan with an exaggerated expression, showing a satisfied smile, "Jiang Yuan of Ningtai, well-deserved reputation."

The corners of Huang Qiangmin's mouth split into an 88.8-degree smile, laughing even more contentedly than Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan's emotional intelligence came online, smiled and responded to the director, then was humble for a while, then looked at the re-produced fingerprints sent back from the opposite side, nodded in approval, and then said, "If the car and electric shock weapon used by the murderer can be found, the evidence will be very sufficient. If needed, forensic botany can definitely be utilized."

The Malayan police had no clues before, just like the Luojin City Bureau. Not to mention knowing the murderer's identity, even the so-called profiling or the perpetrator's portrait were basically wrong. It could be said that they were still a long way from solving the case.

Now it was different. Jiang Yuan had already produced the correct answer. Filling in the process, if done seriously, the difficulty was reduced. If done slightly less seriously, the process was even more ready to come out.

Because it was a cold case in Luojin City, after more than a year, Bao Wenxing had already disposed of the vehicle and other items due to reasons like going abroad, and the means of disposal were quite clever. Now, no one knew where they had been moved.

But in Malaysia, whether Bao Wenxing had such ability and thinking was questionable.

Many serial killers concentrate on killing in one city for a reason, because serial killers who don't do so have mostly been caught.

People are cheap when they leave their hometown, and the same is true for serial killers.

The Malayan side agreed repeatedly.

At this time, the criminal police who had gone to check surveillance videos earlier also reported the news.

Malaya's surveillance equipment couldn't compare with the domestic one. However, Bao Wenxing lived in a rich area, which had more surveillance. At least, some major building entrances and commercial area surveillance were available. This was different from the domestic situation.

Bao Wenxing didn't know enough about the local situation in Malaysia but couldn't wait to commit the crime. Although there was a not-so-small probability of escaping punishment, he eventually hit the south wall.

Especially after Jiang Yuan gave the accurate time, checking surveillance became a relatively simple job.

Photos of Bao Wenxing driving the vehicle and appearing near the crime scene at the time of the crime appeared in front of everyone at the right time. Although it couldn't be used as direct proof, it indirectly proved that he had the time to commit the crime. Combined with other evidence, it formed a relatively complete chain of evidence.

In this way, the case in Malaysia could be considered to have made breakthrough progress. Next, whether to prosecute or publicize, it was already more than enough.

However, just like the Luojin City Bureau was fond of forensic botany, the Malayan police were even more greedy.

Malaysia has a tropical environment with many flowers, plants, and trees, and the variety and quantity of spores and pollen are even more wild. If this method could be used to solve cases, accuracy and convenience would be improved. The efficiency was estimated to be even better than in Luojin City.

A police officer with a little imagination, just by being simply popularized with the principle of pollen profiles, could link it to the diverse plants near their home and could already feel the huge potential in it.

Taking advantage of everyone's high spirits, the technical person in charge from Malaya climbed up the pole and said, "Officer Jiang, regarding forensic botany, we really need your help... Can you please help us fix the botanical evidence of this case?"

Director Xu and others immediately looked at Jiang Yuan.

If they had the decision-making power, they would probably have sent Jiang Yuan out immediately.

Huang Qiangmin also looked at Jiang Yuan, pondering in his heart how to calculate the price for foreign-related work if Jiang Yuan agreed, and whether it would be illegal?

Jiang Yuan coughed twice and said, "Actually, the existing evidence should be enough to convict Bao Wenxing. If the vehicle and murder weapon can be found, it will be ironclad evidence..."

Zhong Renlong translated laboriously. Before he finished, he heard the opposite side say in English, "Officer Jiang, the more complete the evidence, the better. This is already a transnational murder and rape case, and we also really want to learn about forensic botany."

Cui Xiaohu saw that Jiang Yuan was not very willing, so he coughed twice, weighed his tone, and said, "Team Leader Jiang, Bao Wenxing was caught using forensic botany. It is human nature for them to want to learn more."

"Wu..." Jiang Yuan was currently in a state of high emotional intelligence and immediately understood, so he asked Cui Xiaohu directly, "Then I have to go to Malaysia?"

"If the other party invites, I think there is no problem." Cui Xiaohu said, then added, "We have a lot of cooperation with the local police, especially in joint efforts to combat telecom fraud, etc... Wait a moment, I'll ask someone."

Cui Xiaohu started making a call on the spot.

Jiang Yuan waited and turned to look at Huang Qiangmin.

Huang Qiangmin smiled and nodded, "Go abroad if you want to go abroad. In the initial stage, we should be a bit more enthusiastic."

Soon, Cui Xiaohu directly discussed the specific details with the Malayan police on the opposite side.

Both of them used English, skipping the translation, and the efficiency was much higher.

In the end, the Malayan police officer in the video conference asked, "Officer Jiang, we are looking forward to your arrival. What do you need us to do?"

"Keep the evidence as it is, pay attention to storing them separately to avoid mutual contamination. Also... I want to perform an autopsy." Jiang Yuan secretly speculated that if the victim was willing, maybe she could provide a legacy in Malay, which would make it easier for him to communicate with the local police? ===== CHAPTER 523 =====
