Chapter 710: Skin Peeling

The large buses stopped in order.

Police officers in training uniforms got off the bus with their equipment on their backs, quickly assembled and lined up, and then followed the officers to the designated dragnet area.

Xu Taining looked at the command without command below through binoculars, clicked his tongue, and said to himself, "The police in the capital are really easy to use. They follow discipline, are sensible, understand orders, can read maps, and don't drag their feet when going out..."

"Can't the police in Shannan do it?" Liu Jinghui looked sideways.

"They can do it, but there are always black sheep." Xu Taining sighed and said, "It's okay now. When I went out to conduct dragnets a few years ago, I was dealing with thorns on the first day. There was no other way."

Liu Jinghui smiled and added, "Now they are all graduates of police academies, three or four years in university, all trained well. They are easy to use when they come out, unlike us in the past."

"The main thing is that there are rules, and it feels handy and easy to use..." Xu Taining shook his head as he spoke. For someone in his position, everything else is fine, but he runs around and doesn't have his own subordinates. Every time, it's like doing strangers with a condom. There is freshness, but the tacit understanding is naturally insufficient.

Liu Jinghui heard Xu Taining's tone, coughed twice, and whispered, "Division Chief Xu, is Jiang Yuan still investigating the scene inside?"

"Mm, the scene of the gun case. His range is estimated to be large again. There is a lot to check at the scene..." Xu Taining still shook his head. "I was thinking of having him look at the video. The video enhancement Jiang Yuan does is really much stronger than the experts I've used before. I don't know how he learned it. Geniuses are great at everything..."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Liu Jinghui interrupted Xu Taining.

"What opportunity?" Xu Taining was older and was shocked by Liu Jinghui, and for a while, he couldn't react.

"Jiang Yuan's investigation range is large this time, and next, he has to transport the corpse back and perform an autopsy. After this set is done, even if it's fast, it will be tomorrow morning, or even tomorrow afternoon. Needless to say, he'll be exhausted. If we take this time to solve this gun-related case, Jiang Yuan will have worked in vain." Before Liu Jinghui finished speaking, Xu Taining's eyes lit up like neon lights.

Having done dragnets for so many years, Xu Taining had many classic cases to share, but there were also some cases that Xu Taining remembered vividly. For example, those cases where the framework had just been set up and hadn't had time to unfold, those cases he had just been ambitious to break, but were lightly beheaded by Jiang Yuan...

If he could return such a case exactly the same...

Xu Taining felt that his heart, which hadn't palpitated for many years, began to jump wildly.

This was simply more exciting than an affair, more exciting than a first love, more moving than going astray...

"After you said that..." Xu Taining's voice was hoarse, as if it had been roared broken.

Liu Jinghui smiled confidently and said, "As long as we insist on working overtime to do it, if we are lucky, this case can be considered solved."

Xu Taining nodded slightly and summarized, "Either it's illegal, or it's legal but accidental."

"Right, the specific scope is uncertain. It just depends on how fast we can conduct the dragnet." Liu Jinghui's reasoning was actually very refreshing. First, exclude that there are non-mainstream religious elements nearby. This is a small probability event, but since everyone is conducting a dragnet here, it shows that the possibility of this small probability cannot be ignored. This is illegal.

If excluded, then this death case is very likely caused by an accidental hunter with a license. The so-called legal but accidental.

However, Xu Taining had been doing dragnets for many years and played with probability, so when he really conducted a dragnet, he also became serious. "But there is also a possibility, an illegal accident, but it has nothing to do with the Zhang Lizhen case, and nothing to do with any religious group. It's just people who don't know where they came from, and guns that don't know where they came from..."

"In this territory of the capital?" Liu Jinghui's tone didn't have the ingredients of ridicule. He said one sentence, then answered himself, "We all assume that it was caused by a stray bullet, and the victim died. In this territory of the capital, the probability of an accidental gun and an accidental shooting appearing is not smaller..."

"Yeah. Small probability events, many times, really happen." Xu Taining was truly full of awe for small probability events.

Liu Jinghui also nodded solemnly, then let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Small probability events have always been the enemy of reasoning. If these two paths don't work, then look back and consider illegal and accidental."

Illegal means concealment, accidental means fewer clues, and unconventional patterns, all of which represent being more difficult to investigate and determine.

Many times, this kind of case is simply unsolvable.

Xu Taining also made up his mind. Liu Jinghui's reasoning was reasonable and was indeed an excellent way to solve this case.

As for the possible small probability events, they were just postponed. Although it would reduce the possible success rate of detection, this option was not completely abandoned. This was already a very good investigation direction, and there was no reason not to make this choice.

"The key is to be fast!" Liu Jinghui emphasized again. "No matter which possibility it is, the murderer may run away, and it is easy to take away evidence."

"I understand." Xu Taining frowned and thought, then determined a few details, and took out his phone to call Detachment Leader Tao and Bureau Chief Chu.

He was going to use the reserve force.

More training uniforms, more police officers, more manpower and material resources, gathered around the crime scene.

Jiang Yuan, who was always buried in the crime scene, was completely unaware.

The corpse had been transported away. Jiang Yuan originally planned to leave after finishing the investigation, which would usually take two or three hours, but the investigation of the scene exceeded Jiang Yuan's expectations.

First was the bullet that was hard to find.

The victim's wound was extremely heavy. Regardless of whether he realized it or not, in the absence of corresponding hemostatic measures, the number of steps he could take was limited.

The police officers investigating the scene went around in circles, but didn't find the bullet.

Fortunately, the metal detector sent later solved this problem. At a position more than ten meters away from the corpse, the bullet was found deeply embedded in the tree.

"Finally found it." The crime scene investigators who had been busy all day now felt happy listening to the sound of the metal detector.

"Take photos, dig it out." Jiang Yuan didn't do it himself; this thing looked like it was embedded very deeply.

And the answer exceeded the expectations of Jiang Yuan and others even more.

"The bullet went in 11 centimeters." The investigator in charge of the measurement made a record and measured it again, and it was still the same result.

The investigation light was bright, and in the dark woods, it shone a piece of dark shadows.

"The bullet hasn't broken, it's more than 26 millimeters long, so this should be a 7.62mm bullet. The kind used by AK."

"Actually, you don't need to measure it. You can tell at a glance. 7.62 intermediate power bullet, the bullet head has no color, it should be an ordinary bullet. This thing has armor-piercing bullets, which have stronger penetration."

"Many AK gun families use this kind of bullet, and it's also ours... cough, this is much more powerful than a shotgun."

Jiang Yuan exhaled.

Even if it's a rifled gun, there are actually many varieties. As far as China is concerned, shotguns are the easiest to encounter.

And military standard rifles, or even the powerful AK gun family weapons, were unexpected by Jiang Yuan.

"Little Mu, roar." Jiang Yuan looked down at the bullet and said.

Mu Zhiyang nodded, took a deep breath, then turned and roared: "Detachment Leader Tao..."

Detachment Leader Tao had been watching Jiang Yuan do the investigation an hour ago, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he went out to rest.

Mu Zhiyang's roar easily teased him back.

Jiang Yuan didn't wait for Tao Lu, continuing to look at the bullet with a frown.

If you say evidence is important, the current scene is full of unexpected elements.

The bullet poked in too deep!

Although the 7.62mm gun bullet is famous for its high penetration, the hardness of pine wood is also quite high. This bullet poked in 11 centimeters in one breath, which is really a bit powerful. Especially considering it was a stray bullet, the penetration ability of this bullet is a bit surprising.

Jiang Yuan then analyzed the incident angle and position of the bullet, which was not very smooth.

Jiang Yuan looked at the dense woods behind him, and his brows couldn't help but frown.

Although the bullet's trajectory is not straight, and the heavy machine gun often hits a parabolic trajectory, for the dense forest behind him, the route of this bullet is really not easy.

"Found the bullet?" Tao Lu ran and jumped all the way, and entered the woods as soon as possible.

Jiang Yuan showed it to Tao Lu.

"Great!" Tao Lu clapped his hands happily.

"Still early." Jiang Yuan had to interrupt little Lu Lu's happiness and gestured, "Even if it was shot from a very far place and hit a high parabola, the incident angle would not be like this."

Tao Lu had just chatted with people, and seeing this, said, "Maybe it's just a particularly small probability event."

"It's possible..." Jiang Yuan pondered and shook his head again. "But it doesn't look like it."

With his Level 5 crime scene investigation, he couldn't determine that the small probability event was true, but when he encountered an outrageous scene situation, he knew how it was caused.

"Rather than saying it was shot from a very far place and fell, it's better to say it's a high-position shot from a closer distance..." Jiang Yuan gestured. Although there were dense trees in front, within a distance of tens of meters, it was far from being layered.

Jiang Yuan walked all the way along the expected trajectory direction, jumped over where he couldn't pass, walked for twenty or thirty meters, turned back, swayed left and right for a while, and could still see the pine tree that was hit from the gap.

"Bring the metal detector over, look for it here." Jiang Yuan beckoned, while continuing to retreat.

Other crime scene investigators understood Jiang Yuan's idea a bit; he was equivalent to looking for the farthest flat shooting angle.

Although it might not be reliable, this was indeed a train of thought.

Several crime scene investigators didn't talk nonsense, each trying in their own way, and the farthest walked to forty or fifty meters.

The metal detector followed, exploring left and right all the way.

What everyone expected was to find shell casings or other human abandoned items. Especially shell casings, not only is the evidence effect strong, but theoretically, it is also easier for the murderer to miss.

When firing, with the recoil of the gun body and the movement of the gun body, the landing point of the shell casing can vary greatly. If it hits a tree trunk or something, it is possible to jump several meters away. Several people therefore searched very hard, but they were all full of hope.

One hour...

Two hours...

Some people were tired of searching, so they went out to rest and changed others to come in.

The woods were slightly gloomy, and staying for a long time didn't make people feel comfortable.

Tao Lu was also completely exhausted, found an excuse to poop, and went out of the woods.

"Hoo."

Mu Zhiyang raised his head, looked around, and prepared to go out to rest.

He didn't return from the original road. There were colleagues working there. Mu Zhiyang simply walked forward, walked out a section, and went around to see, planning to poop in the middle.

At this time, he saw a tree branch.

The tree branch was not high from the ground, about a meter or so.

Mu Zhiyang ghost-like pointed his flashlight at the tree branch.

"That... Team Leader Jiang." Mu Zhiyang shouted.

"What?" Jiang Yuan walked a few steps and looked over.

"If someone stands on this tree branch and shoots, will it hit that side?" Mu Zhiyang stopped for a while and added, "This tree branch has peeled off!" ===== CHAPTER 711 =====

"What?" Jiang Yuan walked a few steps and looked over.

"If someone stood on this tree branch to fire a shot, would it hit over there?" Mu Zhiyang paused, then added: "This tree branch has lost its bark!"
