Chapter 748: Botanist Group

The botanists built a group, and the chat was quite lively.

In the group, everyone discussed work content, chatted, posted pictures, forwarded jokes, forwarded news, ate melons, dropped links, scolded retarded leaders and policies, and exchanged new views on world issues and historical issues...

Obviously, since it was a group of biologists, it was like ordinary organisms; everyone tried their best not to talk about work.

It is not easy to find bodies through changes in the natural environment. Don't look at how Jiang Yuan easily dug up several graves; that was also after several days of time, searching with a certain direction, and the foundation was LV4 forensic botany.

On that day, the location where the special informant went missing was determined by Qi Changye. Although it was only a direction and the area was vast, there was ultimately a certain range. Jiang Yuan dug through all the most easily determined locations within that range, and the leftovers were left for a group of scholars who were not even LV1 in forensic botany to study. The results were naturally not so smooth.

It was equivalent to an expert-level handsome guy spending a few days flirting with the girls in a dormitory one by one, and finally leaving the girls he couldn't flirt with to the boys in the same class who were born single, looked ordinary, had average family backgrounds, average height, were not good at speaking, didn't like to dress up, had no sense of fashion, didn't care about eating or wearing, had poor athletic ability, no confidence, and couldn't let go of their faces.

The enthusiasm of these twenty or so boys in the class—the botanists—was exhausted in just a few days.

Jiang Yuan returned to the office, zoomed in and scanned the group, and he knew what was going on.

Soon, Jiang Yuan directly changed the group announcement:

Announcement: 【Everyone, for the next two days, we will conduct trial excavations on the locations you marked. If there are any locations you still want to mark, please send them to me privately. The trial excavation is expected to last for two to three days.】

Jiang Yuan estimated that everyone had still marked some locations.

The delay of the past few days would certainly make people feel a bit boring, but they were already botanists, were they still afraid of boredom?

Ding-dong.

Sure enough, after just a while, Jiang Yuan's phone rang.

Marking a location, and then having police verify whether there are remains, this matter itself is also quite exciting.

Jiang Yuan opened a WeChat message to look, and saw that there were locations, marks, pictures, and a large amount of text description, explaining why this place was chosen.

Purely the look of a teacher's good student.

Jiang Yuan immediately replied with a thumbs-up emoji.

By evening, Jiang Yuan went to look again, and a group of nearly 20 botanists had given 78 marked locations.

It could be seen that everyone's hobbies were also different. Among them, the botanist who marked the most locations marked 9 locations, even more than Jiang Yuan marked. And his proficiency in forensic botany was far inferior to Jiang Yuan's.

It could be imagined that this Professor Zhao Tian was truly interested in this area.

Jiang Yuan combed through these 78 marked locations slightly.

He mainly looked to see if there were any obvious burials of remains. For such locations, they had to be handled early, both to prevent long nights and many dreams, and to check for omissions for himself.

However, there were none.

LV4 forensic botany was overwhelming for these botanists who were just entering the door. Although these botanists might reach the level of LV1 or LV2 after very short learning and practice, at the current time, the difference between them and Jiang Yuan was like the difference between Jiang Yuan and Wang Zhong in trace science.

However, the participation of botanists was still very meaningful. Satisfying the curiosity of the botanists themselves was only the first step; digging up bodies was the bait Jiang Yuan threw to them, the nest he hit.

Afterwards, as long as the botanists were willing to participate slowly, there would naturally be more things they could do.

"Captain Cui, I will send the marked locations to you, you send people to see if you can find bodies." Jiang Yuan called Cui Qishan. This was also an arrangement Tao Lu had already made.

Cui Qishan responded immediately, looked at his phone, and couldn't help but be startled, carefully saying: "Even if it's Beijing, 78 bodies is too many, we..."

"It's just 78 suspected locations, not 78 bodies." Jiang Yuan smiled.

Cui Qishan didn't smile: "You only gave a few places last time, and dug up 6 bodies."

"Those few places were picked out, the best of the best..." Jiang Yuan paused and added: "These 78 locations were not chosen by me, they were chosen by those botanists."

"Last time was also... then how many places did you pick yourself?"

"None, they were all chosen by botanists."

On the other end of the phone, Cui Qishan breathed a sigh of relief and said much more easily: "That's fine then. It's not that I can't accept finding bodies, but this kind of big case is really too exhausting."

Jiang Yuan and others were certainly dangerous on the front line, but the police in the rear were not idle either.

Even those not in the special task force were actually bearing more pressure. In a county town, a murder case could press the whole bureau to go into battle, and the Zhengguang Bureau facing so many bodies was no better.

"By the way." Before hanging up, Cui Qishan asked again: "Can we hire people to dig? If there are 78 pits, we will have to dig until next year ourselves."

"It should be possible, you build another group. After digging each location, throw some pictures and videos into the group, let the botanists take a look, and they can also learn." Jiang Yuan still paid great attention to user experience.

Cui Qishan responded, and soon Xiao Si built a group.

Having been a police officer for a long time, there is a natural aversion to groups, because there are too many, and almost every case needs a separate group to communicate. Even having multiple groups for one case is very normal. And criminal police being responsible for multiple cases at the same time is the norm.

Like a captain like Cui Qishan, shuttling between multiple special task forces is a daily routine. Even if a special task force for a murder case in a branch bureau is established, the special task force originally established because of serious injury or residential burglary cannot be disbanded.

And for most cases, the investigation stage is only the early stage, and the middle stage of the case handling process, including fixing evidence and interrogation, until the prosecution stage, may take more time.

Thus, in addition to groups between police, there must also be groups between police and victims' families, and with witnesses.

Xiao Si built the group, pulled Jiang Yuan into the group without hesitation, and then pulled in Cui Qishan.

Cui Qishan: 【No need to pull me...】

But seeing Jiang Yuan also in the group, Cui Qishan finally didn't have the face to quit.

Xiao Si pulled Li Jiang, Wang Chao, and others into the group, and then a group of botanists.

Xiao Si: 【This is the live digging group organized by the Zhengguang Bureau. Everyone add your school in front of your name.】

Agricultural University Wang Bin: 【?】

Science and Technology University Zhao Tian: 【Is it digging Jiang Yuan's body? A bit exciting.】

Polytechnic University Litigang Pang Shiqiang: 【What is the excavation order?】

Agricultural Research Institute Su Lei: 【What are the results of the bodies dug up before? Is the case solved?】

Seeing this, Xiao Si hurriedly replied:

【The previous case is still in a confidential state, everyone don't discuss it, and those who know should also pay attention to confidentiality. En, this case is also confidential, including the content discussed in the group, don't leak it, don't take screenshots, everyone must be responsible for themselves.】

Once he said this, the group suddenly became much quieter.

Before, everyone was willing to chat in the group, because botanists from different schools had common hobbies and were willing to chat about politics and history.

Now that it was changed to a group with more police, everyone automatically and consciously shut up.

However, as the excavation work began at the first marked location, the group gradually began to become lively.

Science and Technology University Zhao Tian: 【Is this the location I marked? Okay, okay, let's see what can be dug out.】

Polytechnic University Litigang Pang Shiqiang: 【Professor Zhao's choice is still quite good.】

Science and Technology University Zhao Tian: 【@Wu Wu Fa Yi Jiang Yuan, what do you think? Can it come out?】

Jiang Yuan didn't answer immediately, and the experts and professors below expressed their opinions one after another.

Some said yes, some said no, some gave reasons, and some were purely betting.

By the time Jiang Yuan finished a round and came back, and looked at the group again, the excavation team had just dug open the plants on the surface, and the group had swiped hundreds of messages.

Cui Qishan also paced over at this time, specifically sneaked into Jiang Yuan's office, and smiled: "In your botanist group, they are guessing whether bodies can come out."

"If you guess, it definitely can't." Jiang Yuan silently closed the novel page on the computer, opened the computer version of WeChat and took a look, typed clatteringly, and said: "Exactly, I will tell them."

"Tell them what?"

"On why bodies were not found at this location." Jiang Yuan answered while typing.

Cui Qishan seriously looked at Jiang Yuan's expression and found that what he said was like the truth, not like acting. ===== CHAPTER 749 =====
