Chapter 803: Continuation

Zhong Renlong sat at the other end of the long table, clutching his phone and making frantic calls.

By rights, he would have originally found a corner to make the call, just like Kamarudin had done before. But now he was afraid that if he left, Kamarudin would say something inappropriate, so he held his phone and made the call.

Jiang Yuan stretched and reached out to open the next case file.

Actually, he hadn't taken many files to begin with, and he had already looked through this one, but although he had screened it out during the initial browsing, it didn't mean this case couldn't be done.

For Jiang Yuan, doing cases in Malaysia was still easier than doing cold cases back home.

It was mainly because the technical means in China were advancing very fast. Network security, image investigation, and technical investigation were integrated, just like X-rays, CTs, and MRIs in a hospital. There was a cost to using them, but you couldn't deny that the effect was very good, significantly raising the lower limit.

By comparison, the police investment in Malaysia was not as good as in China, and the emphasis on homicide cases was not as good as in China either. And many of the cases handed to Jiang Yuan were still current cases...

To be reasonable, not counting the professional work of some experts, for current cases in China to be able to invite an LV3 expert, it was either because the location was special, the person was special, or the method of death was special.

It was just that Jiang Yuan wasn't familiar enough with the Malaysian environment, and many technical means couldn't be used, but these didn't actually have much impact on Jiang Yuan. After all, when he was used in China now, network, image, and technical means had at least been cycled through twice.

"Can you do a large-scale screening? Are you willing to do it?" Jiang Yuan looked at the new file and suddenly asked.

Zhong Renlong had just finished a call, was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "What scale of screening? I have to report this upwards..."

"Then don't consider it for now." The large-scale screening Jiang Yuan was talking about was on a Chinese scale. Not to mention the level of the capital, even a large-scale screening organized by the Ningtai County Bureau should be a high-quality screening team composed of hundreds of key members and thousands of auxiliary personnel. In China, as long as it involved a homicide case, in necessary circumstances, a screening of this scale could definitely be launched.

Now, since Zhong Renlong wasn't sure, Jiang Yuan didn't pursue it. There were plenty of cases, and there was really no need to consume all the Malaysian police's strength on one case. Not to mention, this case didn't have only one way to solve it.

"How about this, I'll give a few suggestions, and you investigate and see." Jiang Yuan was looking at another violent murder case at this time, but unlike the violent murder case at the port, the deceased was on the rooftop and died from a blunt force strike. There was less blood at the scene, and various other traces were also relatively few.

Because it was a one-hit kill, it was a bit difficult to use bloodstain analysis for this case, but it was only a bit difficult.

A normal LV2 technician could still easily determine the type of murder weapon, the orientation of the victim and the perpetrator, the relative state of both parties at the time of the crime, etc.

However, to confirm more things, an LV3 expert might not be enough, and even an LV5 expert would need more information from the scene.

Jiang Yuan saw Zhong Renlong take out his fountain pen and said:

"First, the perpetrator and the victim in this case are highly likely to be acquaintances. Their relationship might not be very good, but they knew each other. This can be seen from the fact that the scene was on the rooftop, as well as the footprints left by the two on the rooftop."

"Second, the perpetrator had great strength, and the victim's skull depression was quite serious."

"Third, as for the murder weapon, it was metal, had rust, and had linear convex marks. It might be something like a metal stick or metal pipe picked up from the scene. The caliber was relatively thick, more inclined towards a metal pipe."

Jiang Yuan paused here, looked at Zhong Renlong, and said: "It's been about 10 days since the crime occurred. If it drags on, it will become a cold case. I suggest organizing as many people as possible to turn the murder weapon out. Because the diameter of the murder weapon is as thick as a fist and the length is over 50 centimeters, maybe even 70 or 80 centimeters, it's not easy to hide and is highly likely to have been abandoned by the perpetrator at the scene."

Zhong Renlong hesitated for a moment and whispered: "We also considered this aspect. At that time, we searched the trash cans inside and outside the building, etc., but didn't find it."

"Search again." Jiang Yuan was slightly more severe.

Having been a criminal police officer for so long, Jiang Yuan was the core decision-maker of the special task force most of the time, and many times he was also the person in charge of the case. For Zhong Renlong's answer like this, even as a guest army, he wouldn't easily let go.

Zhong Renlong was startled and hurriedly lowered his head to agree.

Kamarudin next to him also shrank his neck, feeling a cool breeze in the hot Southeast Asia.

Jiang Yuan waited for a while, drank some water, and then changed his tone, saying: "The building where the crime occurred is an old office building, right? There is no surveillance inside the building, but there is surveillance at the entrances and exits. The office building doesn't have an underground parking lot. The nearest place where one can take a car or other transportation is a few hundred meters away. Carrying a murder weapon and walking a few hundred meters in such a place is not easy. Either there will be eyewitnesses, or the murder weapon must have been dropped somewhere."

Jiang Yuan looked at Zhong Renlong and said: "Now saying it must be found, the time might be a bit late, but at least try to find the murder weapon as much as possible. There is rust on the murder weapon, and it is highly likely to be a water pipe picked up temporarily from the ground. The perpetrator gathered strength to strike, which is very likely to leave traces..."

If it were in China, for this murder weapon, Jiang Yuan would definitely strive for time to conduct a large-scale screening. Through this method, the probability of the murder weapon being confirmed and the perpetrator being confirmed would be greatly increased. Most importantly, it would reduce the possibility of secondary disposal of the murder weapon, further reduce the probability of the perpetrator fleeing, and reduce the possibility of pursuit.

And here in Malaysia, the difficulty of screening was too high, so it could only end here.

Xu Taining wasn't by his side. If there was negligence in the screening, leading to missing the opportunity, it would be too wasteful.

Thinking this way, Jiang Yuan exhorted again: "The entire office building must be checked. The flower beds and shops near the office building must be walked through as much as possible..."

"This... this might require too many search warrants." Zhong Renlong was startled and hurriedly stopped him.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand: "Let's do this for now. Let's see what step you can reach, and then we will analyze it specifically."

There were not many traces left at the scene of this case, and so much time had passed. The possibility of solving the case purely based on documents was not high. At this time, it required the cooperation and support of other members of the team.

Only after leaving China would one miss the organization and trust back home.

Conducting screening in China, even without using Xu Taining, an ordinary criminal police detachment could produce one or two experienced persons in charge. There was no need to doubt the organization of the police force. 7*24-hour screening was common. For example, when Jiang Yuan asked to go to the garbage mountain to search before, no matter how unwilling Lei Xin and the others were, they still went.

This is unimaginable in many countries. It's not a matter of how much money is given. From top to bottom, from public institutions to private enterprises, it is impossible to find a team with such organization and obedience.

In some legendary places, if the police get off work when the time is up, then what kind of screening is there? It's equivalent to putting on a show during the day and letting the tiger return to the mountain at night.

Zhong Renlong squatted in the corner again and continued to make frantic phone calls.

Jiang Yuan drank the tea in the teapot until it was tasteless, simply got up, and said: "Let's stroll around."

The group, having eaten their fill of durian, nodded one after another, and the crowd swaggered along the street.

From the beginning of the street to the end, a Chinese police officer hurried over.

Kamarudin immediately showed a smile and pulled him to find Jiang Yuan.

Just as he rushed to Jiang Yuan's side, Zhong Renlong rushed to the front of the two at a faster speed.

"God, the violent murder case at the port has been solved. The perpetrator has been caught!" Zhong Renlong used Malay directly, and stood his ground as soon as he opened his mouth.

Kamarudin's brow furrowed as he listened, and the movement of wanting to grab the position also stopped. ===== CHAPTER 804 =====
