Chapter 802: Continuous

Hot wind.

Hot pants.

Durian stall.

Jiang Yuan was already cloyed with durian, holding a case file in both hands, reading while drinking tea.

Wang Chuanxing and the others nearby were scrolling through short videos and chatting on WeChat, feeling a bit of the happiness of a vacation.

Including Chu Guanliang, the police liaison officer sent by the embassy, and Cui Xiaohu and others from the ministry, everyone felt quite relaxed at this moment. Jiang Yuan had already solved two homicide cases since coming out. From their perspective, this work had been completed beautifully enough. Next, even if no more cases could be solved, it wouldn't matter.

No matter which master detective you replaced him with, no one could say anything bad about such case-solving efficiency and ability.

Thump.

Jiang Yuan refilled the teapot and set the kettle down.

Thump.

Kamarudin and Zhong Renlong pounced at the same time, their heads colliding.

"Let me pour the water." Kamarudin said solemnly in Indonesian.

Zhong Renlong didn't give an inch, grabbing the kettle and saying, "I have been responsible for this task all along."

Kamarudin whispered, "You can rest for a while first. Let me do it for a while next."

Zhong Renlong also lowered his voice: "You are not my superior. Let's each do our own things well."

Kamarudin stared at Zhong Renlong for a while.

Zhong Renlong was completely unafraid.

Kamarudin finally let go of the kettle and got up to leave.

Zhong Renlong breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly adjusted his posture, and with a respectful attitude and a serious expression, took off the teapot lid, letting the boiling water roll into the pot.

The tea leaves stretched and contracted wantonly with the boiling water, and the tea color gradually deepened.

Zhong Renlong's emotions also calmed down a bit. He gently covered the lid and placed the kettle gently next to the teapot to facilitate Jiang Yuan refilling the water himself.

Thump.

Another kettle was placed next to the teapot.

Zhong Renlong turned his head, only to see Kamarudin's rough, dark face.

Kamarudin smiled calmly, not caring at all about Zhong Renlong's glare, squatted to the side, and smiled at the Chinese people in front of him.

Wang Chuanxing and the others also smiled friendly; they had experienced similar situations many times, so it was nothing strange.

Swish, swish...

Jiang Yuan poured another cup of tea.

Zhong Renlong and Kamarudin's necks turned instantly, alert as if they had undergone three and a half years of training.

"This case... is actually about the same." Jiang Yuan flipped through several case files in a row, then read the one in his hand carefully, saying while drinking tea: "This is a case of murder with a sharp weapon. There is a lot of evidence at the scene. I see there is DNA, footprints, and blood fingerprints. Didn't any of them match?"

Zhong Renlong and Kamarudin stretched their heads over to look at the same time.

Because the case was brought by Zhong Renlong, he took a look and immediately recalled it, saying: "It's a violent murder case at the port. The victim was a female, stabbed 11 times, and died tragically at home. We suspect it was a crime committed by an acquaintance because there were no signs of forced entry. However, after investigating the people around the victim, there were no results."

Zhong Renlong continued: "Later, considering there was some loss of property and the victim was also a young, beautiful female, we suspected that the door might have been tricked open, so we investigated some couriers, plumbers, and other staff who might have entered the room near the port... also with no results."

"The number of people investigated in this case, as well as the DNA samples and fingerprints, etc., exceeded ten thousand. In the end, after there was no other way, the investigation was stopped."

Finally, Zhong Renlong explained it.

As a police officer, not being able to solve a case is ultimately somewhat regrettable and embarrassing.

Not only Jiang Yuan, but Cui Xiaohu, Mu Zhiyang, and others were also listening carefully.

Kamarudin appeared somewhat bewildered, lowered his head to take out his phone, and kept contacting colleagues who understood Chinese to come for reinforcements.

Zhong Renlong also finished speaking about the known case details quickly and looked at Jiang Yuan with anticipation.

Jiang Yuan was also listening very carefully. Many details of handling the case, or situations outside the case, were not reflected in the file, especially some unsuccessful attempts, which would not necessarily appear in the file.

After listening to the pits the Malaysian police had stepped into, Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and said: "My understanding might have a deviation from your side."

"It's normal to have deviations. Feel free to speak." Zhong Renlong glanced at Kamarudin and said seriously: "You can speak with peace of mind. I will stand on your side."

Jiang Yuan understood and smiled, so he canceled the polite part and said: "Then I'll just say it directly. I think it's still a crime committed by an acquaintance. Your early investigation direction was correct, it's just that for various reasons, you couldn't find the perpetrator. The later investigation direction, on the contrary, was unnecessary."

Because the previous case was a crime committed by an acquaintance, Jiang Yuan used the phrasing "still a crime committed by an acquaintance."

Zhong Renlong was a bit surprised, then said without hesitation: "I will report it to my superiors. Is it necessary to do another screening?"

"If there are no other reasons, such as political factors involved, I think it's better to focus on checking for omissions." Jiang Yuan glanced at Zhong Renlong to confirm with him.

Zhong Renlong said decisively: "As far as I know, this case is just an ordinary criminal case. If so, what should we do?"

"If that's the case, I think your list of acquaintances should have omissions." Jiang Yuan said quite affirmatively and explained: "From the scene of the case, first of all, from the distribution of bloodstains, the center of the crime scene is in the dining room, which is a relatively deep part of the room. Ordinary couriers or staff would not reach this position."

Zhong Renlong hurriedly went to look at the structural distribution inside the house, and then looked at the photos. Although he was bewildered, he had a slight understanding.

Jiang Yuan waved to Wang Chuanxing, let him turn on the recording to avoid having to say it twice later, and then said: "Secondly, the perpetrator was standing, and the victim was sitting, but the victim's position with their back to the perpetrator reflects a considerable degree of trust. It doesn't fit the principle of a crime committed by a stranger."

Jiang Yuan said: "Thirdly, the perpetrator used a knife to hack and stab 11 times. Usually, this is also a situation that only occurs in crimes committed by acquaintances. You should have considered relevant situations, right?"

Zhong Renlong hurriedly nodded and said: "Initially, there should have been such thoughts."

"En, there is a wound near the genitals. From the forensic autopsy, this was intentional, but the force was retracted halfway through the hack. This is a very typical method of murder by an acquaintance. Moreover, I tend to think it's a lover's murder." Jiang Yuan said this, which was equivalent to narrowing the scope of suspects again.

Zhong Renlong was even more stunned. He wasn't that familiar with the case, so he hurriedly flipped through the file and waited for a long time before saying hesitantly: "The victim had a boyfriend. At that time, DNA and fingerprints were also collected, but they didn't match..."

"Then look for it and see if there are any other boyfriends." Jiang Yuan didn't change his judgment because of the answer Zhong Renlong gave.

He used bloodstain analysis, starting at LV5, which was much more useful than a single sentence of "boyfriend."

Zhong Renlong felt Jiang Yuan's firmness and couldn't help but become firm as well: "Understood, I will notify the responsible police chief now."

He glanced at Kamarudin by the way. This time, it was impossible for him to call anyone over. ===== CHAPTER 803 =====
