Chapter 65: Commendation

Monday.

Arriving at the office, one could see Wu Jun holding a feather duster, cleaning the office.

Lowering his head to open the old almanac on his phone, sure enough, today was "suitable" for worship, sacrifice, travel, sweeping the house...

Jiang Yuan felt that if this continued, he would be able to know Wu Jun's actions just by looking at the old almanac every day.

Of course, knowing what Wu Jun was going to do was useless anyway.

"Master, I'll help you." Jiang Yuan took the initiative to step forward and prepare to work.

Wu Jun let out an "ouch," jumped down from the chair, waved his hand, and said: "The things I want to do myself, you don't need to be busy. If you have time, just read a book; you do fingerprints so well, and you can also handle crime scene investigation, yet you are still unfamiliar with your own professional business. If this gets out, people will think I've been hiding things from you."

Jiang Yuan laughed and said: "Fingerprints and crime scene investigation can be tried by oneself, but I have nowhere to find things like autopsies."

"You have a point saying that. When I first started working, there were still many corpses; like in our Tai River, corpses would often float down from upstream. It was hard to tell if it was someone who slipped and fell, committed suicide, or was murdered. At that time, funds were also scarce, and the counties along the river would still have to bicker back and forth..." Wu Jun showed a nostalgic expression, and the feather duster in his hand also loosened.

Jiang Yuan sat at his position, pressed the power button, and waited for it to boot up with peace of mind.

He hadn't had many tasks in the past few days, but rather more writing reports. Fortunately, he had Wang Zhong helping him daily, so it wasn't too difficult.

Wu Jun also brewed a cup of tea, slowly raised his feet, and quietly thought about the relationship between man and the world, man and society, and the world and the almanac.

The atmosphere in the office had just turned into a leisurely state when someone entered, interrupting Wu Jun's thinking.

"Old Wu, Jiang Yuan." Captain Huang Qiangmin stepped inside, smiling happily.

"Captain Huang." Jiang Yuan and Wu Jun both stood up.

"Good news." Huang Qiangmin first emphasized his attribute, then said to Jiang Yuan: "Your trip out to investigate the Ding Lan case was a great success, and all parties are actively applying for rewards. On our county bureau side, Wei Zhengguo is a third-class merit, and you are a commendation."

He spoke simply and didn't pull the provincial department or the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment into it, just stating the rewards for Wei Zhengguo and Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was stunned, then hurriedly expressed his gratitude, saying: "I didn't expect to have a commendation so soon."

The corners of Huang Qiangmin's mouth remained at 55.5 degrees, looking at Jiang Yuan warmly.

A commendation was the lowest level of merit and reward in the police system, but it was also quite difficult to obtain. An ordinary criminal police officer might need several years to have a chance to get one, and many times, it was all accumulated.

And there were many links in a case from beginning to end, from receiving the alarm to the verdict, whether it was finding clues, extracting evidence, or analyzing the direction of investigation, as well as arrests, interrogations, and even supplementary investigations, all required teamwork from the police officers, step by step.

Which step was done well, which step was done in a commendable way, some people had a scale in their hearts, and some people might pretend not to understand.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't have the intention to fight for credit or be calculating, Huang Qiangmin thought even more highly of him and said with a smile: "Whether it's a commendation or a third-class merit, for us at present, the effect is about the same; the most important thing is to be able to get it. If there's a first time, there's a second time; if there's an opportunity next time, get it again..."

Leaving such an opening, Huang Qiangmin had Wu Jun call the Criminal Science Squadron leader, Lu Jianfeng, over and said: "Let's hold a ceremony together. Make it a bit more formal."

Lu Jianfeng responded happily and continued to call people for help.

In a short while, a banner was hung in the small conference room, fake flowers were placed, and the photographer was in position with a huge camera.

After a while, Wei Zhengguo and Jiang Yuan also came in, dressed neatly in order.

All three had changed into police ceremonial uniforms, which were commonly known as police uniforms that were almost never used.

Compared to the regular uniforms that were often seen, the men's police ceremonial uniforms had sashes added to the right chest, and when worn, they also looked quite decent.

It was just Wei Zhengguo; with the blessing of the formal attire, even his smile didn't look shabby.

"En, not bad, not bad." Huang Qiangmin helped Jiang Yuan straighten the button at his neck, patted Wei Zhengguo's shoulder, and said: "You took the initiative to attack this time, and discovered key clues and evidence, arrested the criminal suspect, and also found the location where the murderer hid the corpse; it is indeed rare. Wait a moment, the director will come over, and everyone will take a group photo together..."

The awarding of the third-class merit and commendation took place in the small conference room.

The police system was not like the military, and it wasn't very popular to have gongs and drums or to organize things on a large scale. If it happened to be a certain conference or a certain oath-taking assembly, the rewards were usually arranged together.

Most of the time, they didn't encounter it, so for levels like third-class merit and commendation, finding a small group of people was considered a celebration.

Huang Qiangmin took out a red stitched leather certificate from his briefcase, handed it to the director, and then the director handed it to Wei Zhengguo and Jiang Yuan respectively.

Third-class merit had a medal and a certificate, while commendation only had a certificate and no medal.

Jiang Yuan opened the certificate, and in the name column, the two characters "Jiang Yuan" were clearly written. In the reward level, there was also a line of "Personal Commendation," and a large red seal was stamped on the right side.

At the same time, a semi-transparent interface of the system popped up in front of Jiang Yuan:

Reward: Personal Commendation

Reward Content: One optional content (upgradable)

Taking advantage of the time when everyone was going through the process of taking photos, Jiang Yuan clicked on "Optional Content."

At this time, a row of options appeared:

Criminal Imaging Technology (LV2)

Document Examination Technology (LV2)

Trace Examination Technology (LV2)

Biological Evidence Examination Technology (LV2)

Audio-Visual Data Examination Technology (LV2)

Electronic Data Examination Technology (LV2)

Lie Detection Technology (LV2)

Poison Examination Technology (LV2)

Jiang Yuan looked at the long list and first curiously clicked on Lie Detection Technology (LV2).

At this time, a new row of options appeared:

GKT (Guilty Knowledge Test) (LV3)

CQT (Control Question Test) (LV3)

POT (Peak of Tension Test) (LV3)

R/IR (Relevant/Irrelevant Question Test) (LV3)

Jiang Yuan couldn't help it and almost clicked it.

Lie detection and such, speaking of it, was truly cool.

It was just that it seemed useless in the county bureau.

Thinking about these lie detection technologies, they all had to be equipped with corresponding polygraphs, and the accuracy of the supporting technology wasn't high, and the court recognition was even lower...

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and clicked on Criminal Imaging Technology (LV2).

Sure enough, opening it, he saw a bunch of imaging technologies listed:

On-site Photography (LV3)

Evidence Photography (LV3)

Image Enhancement Technology (LV3)

Image Analysis Technology (LV3)

Forged Image Examination Technology (LV3)

Honestly speaking, whether it was criminal imaging technology or document technology, etc., they were all technologies that could solve cases, and when handed to Jiang Yuan, they could all play a considerable role.

However, Jiang Yuan looked from top to bottom, and what he wanted most was imaging technology.

Using surveillance and adopting visualization technology to solve cases was the simplest and most direct way to solve cases now, and it was almost the best mode of solving cases.

By comparison, like lie detection, like electronic data examination technology, they were either technologies that Ningtai County hadn't developed yet, or technologies that were easier to get support for. Although they were also quite good, as far as Jiang Yuan thought, the utilization rate of imaging technology would obviously be higher, and it would be easier for other colleagues to accept when developed.

Jiang Yuan clicked on Image Enhancement Technology (LV3).

The so-called image enhancement could be understood as making blurry images or videos clearer. And image analysis was the ability to extract numerical values from images, such as measuring the height of a criminal suspect.

Jiang Yuan already possessed some of the image enhancement skills after obtaining the fingerprint skill, but what he obtained now was obviously much more professional.

This kind of skill was somewhat similar to the technology in movies and TV shows where the video couldn't see the license plate clearly, and the beautiful or handsome character shouted, and it could be seen clearly.

However, don't look at the movies and TV shows where the beautiful and handsome characters only need to shout once to do it, but in the real world, in a place like the Ningtai County Bureau, there wasn't a single person who could do this kind of thing. As for the director, even if he shouted until his throat was hoarse, no one could... hehehe...

Of course, Jiang Yuan couldn't see the license plate just by shouting once now that he had learned the image enhancement skill, and the time it took to shout a few more times wasn't enough to see the blurry license plate clearly either.

What he could do was still through Photoshop, or WBY criminal investigation image processing software, etc., to denoise, sharpen, filter, etc., the image, so that it could become relatively clearer.

And if he wanted to get rid of existing software and enter the algorithm stage, he would need LV4 or even LV5.

"Work hard, if there's anything you need me to do, just come directly to me..." Seeing Jiang Yuan a bit dazed, Huang Qiangmin couldn't help but feel happy, and the corners of his mouth rose to 66.6 degrees.

The difficulty of obtaining a personal commendation was certainly the lowest level of merit and reward, but reasonably speaking, the act of merit and reward itself wasn't easy.

Without Huang Qiangmin's efforts, it was hard to say whether the higher-ups would give a commendation, and when they would give it.

Huang Qiangmin looked at Jiang Yuan's expression and felt that he understood his painstaking efforts, and felt satisfied.

After talking for a while and having people take photos and applaud, the director said: "Send a copy of the photo to the honor room later, and hang it on the wall... You should also care more about young police officers in your team. Young people nowadays have more information, are more individualistic, and pay more attention to personal development, so we should also change our thinking in a timely manner..."

"Yes." Huang Qiangmin expressed agreement.

The director said a few more words, urging everyone to make persistent efforts and make new contributions, before changing to a serious expression and turning to leave. ===== CHAPTER 66 =====
