Chapter 535: Peripheral

Early the next morning, Jiang Yuan continued to come to work. Seeing that the time was about right, he went to Huang Qiangmin's office to report.

When he arrived, he saw Wu Junhao already sitting inside.

"What a coincidence." Jiang Yuan greeted with a smile.

"I came specifically to wait for you." Wu Junhao wiped his bald head and said without hiding it, "These past few days, I've really been a bit overwhelmed. I'm not good at comforting people, but I can't not do it."

Wu Junhao looked like a steel straight man, and the members of his First Squadron were all trained by him into this state. When Huang Qiangmin was the detachment leader, Wu Junhao only needed to grasp the training and listen to orders. So, even a newcomer like a hemp pole, after joining the team for two years, could be trained by Wu Junhao to have a round waist and a bald head.

At that time, when everyone had something unpleasant, they would run to the gym and practice, and naturally, their thoughts would be clear.

So, when the problem they encountered now needed a softer connection, what they got could only be Wu Junhao's "hypocritical" comfort.

Jiang Yuan thought of the scene of Wu Junhao comforting people, couldn't help but smile, then restrained his smile, and said solemnly, "I'm considering doing the Jingyang Line triple homicide case first."

Huang Qiangmin and Wu Junhao looked at Jiang Yuan together, and then looked at each other.

Huang Qiangmin coughed twice and said, "My meaning is to find an influential case, like the kind of case we went to Luyang to do before..."

"An influential case within the province probably won't affect Director Chai's decision; he will at most slow down." Jiang Yuan said, "It's better to do a case with national influence. Anyway, they are all accumulated cases; it's not about which one is more difficult."

"The Jingyang Line triple homicide case is a case listed by the ministry, and experts have participated in it." Huang Qiangmin trusted Jiang Yuan very much, but now that it involved his old subordinates, he hoped to pursue a high success rate.

Of course, Huang Qiangmin was just reminding him. Regarding the choice of cases, he hadn't interfered with Jiang Yuan for a long time.

Jiang Yuan confirmed again, "I think there is still some room."

Huang Qiangmin then looked at Wu Junhao.

"Whatever Captain Jiang says, I'll do." Wu Junhao wasn't the type who liked to be unconventional. Now that Jiang Yuan had made the decision, he had even less opinion.

"Then fine." Huang Qiangmin nodded and asked Jiang Yuan, "What do you need now?"

"Let's read the case files first." The data Jiang Yuan could see from the backend was too limited, and it was basically impossible to solve the case with this.

Huang Qiangmin thought about it and said, "Let's just find Cui Xiaohu. He originally wanted to call you to do a case. If you say you want to do the Jingyang Line triple homicide case, he will definitely support you."

The Jingyang Line refers to the railway line from the capital to Changyang City. Three consecutive cases of lying on the tracks occurred here, immediately arousing the attention of many parties. Because of the changes in the location and jurisdiction of the three cases, several units participated, and none of them made a breakthrough, which further expanded the influence of the case.

Over the next twenty years, various provinces, cities, and ministries had included this case in the sequence of clearing cases. The Shannan Provincial Department also participated. With the solving of other cleared cases, the influence of the "Jingyang Line Triple Homicide Case" had grown significantly.

Of course, the difficulty was also very obvious.

Cui Xiaohu heard that Jiang Yuan was interested in the triple homicide case, and he flew over that very day.

The two sides agreed to meet in Qingbai City. Cui Xiaohu pulled Li Haochen, and Jiang Yuan brought several cars of people.

"I didn't know you were going to catch people directly." Cui Xiaohu was startled when they met. With so many people, the expenses were not small.

Jiang Yuan smiled and asked, "Have you discussed it? Can I see the case files?"

Qingbai City is also a prefecture-level city in Shannan Province, but it rarely dealt with Jiang Yuan and the others. In the past, they mainly passed by, occasionally coming to Qingbai City to catch people.

Of course, Jiang Yuan is now famous in the province, and Qingbai City is also very welcoming. But for some official business, Cui Xiaohu's identity is still more useful.

Cui Xiaohu nodded confidently, merged a motorcade, and went straight to the Qingbai City Criminal Investigation Detachment.

Everyone socialized and rested as they should. Jiang Yuan went straight to the file room and started reading the case files page by page.

The so-called Jingyang Line triple homicide case was not three bodies at one time, but three bodies, appearing three times, and in different locations.

When the first body appeared, it was already 22 years ago. The murderer's technique was rough, and there were obvious traces of being bound at the victim's legs and feet, but it didn't attract much attention from the police. In that era, the slogan of "must solve homicide cases" hadn't been shouted yet.

Soon, the second body appeared, and there was a huge change. There was very little blood at the scene. This aroused great vigilance from the on-site investigation personnel.

If you haven't killed anyone, you generally can't understand the problem of the blood volume between a living person and a dead person. This is also what many people wonder: wouldn't there be a lot of blood at a dismemberment scene?

In fact, there might be a lot of blood at a murder scene, but there is often not much at a dismemberment scene.

The Jingyang Line triple homicide case can also serve as proof. When a train smashes a body into pieces, there is surprisingly very little blood on the tracks.

What attracted the police's attention the most was the third victim.

The third victim appeared on the night four months later. A night train hit it straight on, and flesh and blood flew everywhere at the scene.

This shows that the victim was alive, and this time, the forensic doctor specifically checked it and found that the murderer used ether.

The three cases involved three places and two different railway bureaus. Coupled with the murderer's obvious criminal escalation measures, the police invested a lot of energy into this case.

At that time, a serial killer who had killed 64 people was raging in other provinces. The Shannan Provincial Department and the ministry absolutely did not want to repeat the same mistakes and let another serial killer appear. Therefore, when the three cases were merged, it caused a sensation.

And its failure to be solved also produced a sensational effect.

Because at that time, similar cases appeared one after another in other provinces, and departments at all levels also investigated them with great effort, and they were solved. Only the Jingyang Line triple homicide case, which was seen to be sensational, and then seen to be sensational again, just didn't have a result.

Two sensational events naturally made the Jingyang Line triple homicide case look very unusual. Later, this case was restarted once, but there was no result, just adding a layer of halo.

"Are all the exhibits here? Can I see them?" Jiang Yuan asked the police officer in the exhibit room.

After getting an affirmative answer, Jiang Yuan went in to check.

The police officer in the exhibit room helped on the side and curiously observed Jiang Yuan's movements.

Such an old and difficult case, even if the difficulty of challenging it successfully is very low, its own attraction is very sufficient.

Jiang Yuan looked for half an afternoon.

When he came out of the exhibit room, Huang Qiangmin, Wu Junhao, and the others were all numb from waiting.

"How is it?" Wu Junhao saw Jiang Yuan come out and immediately stood up to ask.

Jiang Yuan shook his head with a smile: "No clues."

"Then..." Wu Junhao hesitated.

Jiang Yuan smiled: "I should have thought of it before coming. Such a famous case, the difficulty is certain."

"En..." Wu Junhao knew he was anxious and shook his head helplessly.

Huang Qiangmin looked at Jiang Yuan, but nodded secretly. In such a short time, Jiang Yuan was increasingly showing the demeanor of a great general.

"Let's go, let's go eat something." Jiang Yuan said, pulling Wu Junhao out the door.

Wu Junhao was obviously not in high spirits. He sighed and followed Jiang Yuan. When they were about to go out, he said, "If it really doesn't work, don't bother. We haven't suffered hardships; if we endure it, we can always get through it. If it still doesn't work, I'll just transfer away."

"What if Director Chai doesn't let you go?" Huang Qiangmin sneered. It wasn't just Wu Junhao who was being punished. If you offend the top leader and still want to transfer, that's a bit of a daydream.

Before Wu Junhao could say anything else, Jiang Yuan coughed twice and said, "It hasn't reached that level yet. I've seen the exhibits of the case. There are many exhibits. We'll just grind slowly."

"How to grind slowly?"

"Just advance like a pawn every day." Jiang Yuan was thinking about so many techniques in his mind. He would raise the evidence by one level every day, and he would always find more evidence.

Pondering this, Jiang Yuan then gave an example: "I saw that they found a lot of peripheral evidence. These few days, we can find eyewitnesses first. If we can't find eyewitnesses, we can find people who have appeared nearby. There are many ways, don't be anxious."

Opening a new case is quite time-consuming. ===== CHAPTER 536 =====
