Chapter 804: Two Steps Forward

"What's the situation?" Jiang Yuan was naturally interested.

"The perpetrator is a colleague of the victim, her pursuer. The two hadn't dated, and there should have been no intimate relationship. He was on the previous list of acquaintances, and he also expressed his admiration for the victim, but because he didn't have a clear motive for murder and he provided an alibi, he wasn't investigated in depth. Later, when we talked about a lover's murder, he stood out..." After Zhong Renlong reported quickly, he added: "The alibi has been proven to be fake, and the perpetrator has confessed."

Wang Chuanxing looked at the time and said: "Your investigation speed is actually quite fast."

The meaning of this was that they clearly had a list of suspects but didn't investigate in depth.

Zhong Renlong sighed long: "Because we changed the investigation direction several times in a row, there was a lot of waste of time and police force for this case. It's a bit shameful to say, but... different police chiefs have different working styles."

Wang Chuanxing smiled again: "It's like this when the boat is small and easy to turn."

"That's also a reason for saying so." Zhong Renlong laughed twice, and that was the end of the case.

Wang Chuanxing and Mu Zhiyang looked at each other, both in a state of wanting to complain but feeling embarrassed to say it.

It was mainly because they had experienced many major cases, so they were somewhat disapproving of the handling method of this kind of small and medium-sized case.

The homicide special task force in China is often very serious. After determining the investigation direction, even if they don't investigate to the point of no way out, they have to have a phased conclusion. However, ordinary cases often don't have so many requirements; it all depends on the personal quality of the responsible police officer.

When Wang Chuanxing was working in the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment before, he had encountered similar police officers who were like headless flies, hitting here and there, and then solved the case.

Back then, Wang Chuanxing couldn't tell if the other party was really stupid or cunning in their cuteness. But now, when he followed Jiang Yuan more, and recalled the other party's working style, he felt that it was a guy without planning, but because he had been a criminal police officer for more than ten years, had rich experience, and had sufficient resource guarantees behind him, he had solved the case by zero-knocking and zero-hitting.

It can only be said that for most criminal cases, a superior brain, abundant resources, super physical strength, strong perseverance, excellent luck, meticulous thinking, detailed consideration... only one or two are needed to solve the case; there is no need for a hexagonal warrior at all.

And for truly strange cases, a hexagonal warrior might not necessarily be able to solve them.

Of course, these were just the thoughts of Wang Chuanxing and the others. They had followed Jiang Yuan for a long time, had eaten and seen things, so they could leisurely evaluate the work of other institutions.

And for Zhong Renlong, Nicha, and the others, everything that happened today was a bit too fast.

From their perspective, Jiang Yuan just went out to eat a durian, and then solved major cases one after another.

The police force's investment in homicide cases is not as much as in China, which doesn't mean homicide cases are not important. It's just because police force is limited, the number of criminal cases is too large, investment is relatively small, and they are too busy to handle it.

Jiang Yuan being able to help solve homicide cases one after another not only instantly reduced part of their pressure, but at least saved the police force of more than a dozen police officers, which could already be counted as a surprise.

Nicha recorded the confession of the perpetrator of the "violent murder case at the port" in the police station, sent people to the perpetrator's home to collect evidence, and came to find Jiang Yuan directly.

He had previously experienced the surging energy of Jiang Yuan's time in solving major cases, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yuan would also have infinite energy surging out between his fingers.

"Mr. Jiang Yuan." When Nicha saw Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan was surrounded by Zhong Renlong and Kamarudin on the left and right, showing an understandable emphasis.

If it weren't for the lack of space, Nicha would have pounced on Jiang Yuan and pestered him.

"Officer Nicha." Jiang Yuan greeted him in Indonesian.

"I am... uh, we have already arrested the perpetrator of the violent murder case at the port." Nicha hesitated for a moment, a bit unsure of what to say.

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded: "I heard."

"Uh... thank you so much, Mr. Jiang Yuan..."

"Was the murder weapon used to kill on the rooftop found?" Jiang Yuan didn't mean to exchange pleasantries with him.

Nicha was stunned. Wasn't this the case Zhong Renlong just called about? He was busy with the violent murder case at the port at the time, so naturally, he didn't have time to organize personnel. Was Jiang Yuan paying extra attention to this case?

Zhong Renlong saw Nicha's thoughts and hurriedly said: "Forensic Jiang's efficiency is particularly high..."

"We are planning to start designing the plan tomorrow morning." Nicha had no choice. He couldn't gather people in the middle of the night and take them to search an office building. In fact, such a search would be difficult to start tomorrow morning.

Jiang Yuan realized the differences between the two countries, thought for a moment, and said: "In this way, it's difficult for you to search the office building completely?"

"Some companies might be able to enter, but if some companies are too serious, or are relatively large companies, the progress of the search will be much slower." Nicha told the truth and added: "Mainly because we lack the necessary evidence. If we can't prove that the company is related to the case, it's difficult to obtain a search warrant. If the other party is unwilling to cooperate, we can't force a search."

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and added: "Although I don't know your laws here very well, there is one point you got backward: only by searching as much as possible can we find the necessary evidence."

"En?" Nicha frowned.

"There are footprints of the perpetrator left on the rooftop, so we can know the perpetrator's age, height, and weight. The problem is, where is the perpetrator?" Jiang Yuan emphasized his tone in the second half of the sentence: "If the perpetrator hid the murder weapon in the public area of the office building, it means the perpetrator is likely an outsider, so he is likely to appear in the surveillance video at the entrance and exit of the building... Otherwise, if the perpetrator hid the murder weapon in the office area of a certain company, it likely means the perpetrator has a connection with that company..."

Nicha stared at Jiang Yuan with wide eyes, scratching his ears and cheeks while waiting for Jiang Yuan to finish speaking, and urged: "Can we know the perpetrator's age, height, and weight?"

"Height is about 175 cm, weight is about 90 kg, strong, age is about 38." Jiang Yuan gave the answer.

"This..." Nicha almost said the words to catch the person.

Thinking about it, Nicha understood what Jiang Yuan meant. The key now is to fix the group where the perpetrator is through some conclusive evidence.

With the height, weight, and age given by Jiang Yuan, screening the people in the office building, there probably wouldn't be many suspects left.

The problem is, does the perpetrator work in that office building?

Jiang Yuan wanted to use the murder weapon as such an anchor point to screen out the perpetrator.

Nicha thought carefully and felt it was feasible, but also felt it was not without difficulties.

Jiang Yuan saw Nicha's reluctance and even understood his reluctance.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yuan said: "Or like this, you can ask and see if there is anyone with a hand injury."

"The perpetrator's hand is injured?" Nicha was pleasantly surprised.

"There is this possibility." Jiang Yuan said: "The victim's skull is completely depressed. This force is very great. If he didn't wear gloves, the hand holding the murder weapon is very likely to be injured."

"This is good, this is good..." Nicha nodded repeatedly. Checking external features is also very simple for them.

"This plan is likely to miss the perpetrator." Jiang Yuan specifically explained. Why didn't he mention this plan at the beginning? It was because this plan was equivalent to inferring two steps forward, speculating that the perpetrator took a rusty water pipe, and speculating that the perpetrator didn't take self-protection, which greatly increased the probability of the plan being wrong.

But for the environment of the building, this plan might be more cost-effective. ===== CHAPTER 805 =====
