Chapter 811

"Wu Wu Fa Yi Jiang, these are all cases involving footprints!"

Nicha personally carried a case file box and placed it on the table with a "thud."

After the on-the-spot arrest in the studio and the experience of several homicide cases, the confidence of the Malaysian police in Jiang Yuan had reached an unprecedented height. However, their confidence in Jiang Yuan was mostly concentrated on footprints and bloodstains.

Because what Jiang Yuan had demonstrated in Malaysia were mainly these two abilities. Other technologies such as forensic anthropology, forensic botany, and forensic sketching had been shown, but they were not direct enough.

From the perspective of Nicha and the others, they naturally wanted to use Jiang Yuan's strongest technology.

On the other hand, there were too many homicide cases with footprint evidence.

This is actually the biggest advantage of solving cases with footprints. A person can avoid leaving fingerprints by wearing gloves, and can avoid leaving hair and dander by wearing a hood, but how can one eliminate footprints?

With current technology, even on a tile floor, if you lay down an electrostatic adsorption film, the footprints you extract are clearer than those taken with ordinary photography.

The Malaysian police naturally also collect footprints. Although they collect footprints to compare shoe prints, this step is mandatory for larger cases.

In fact, similar to the domestic situation, most cases in Malaysia are simple, direct cases. Many times, the criminal suspect is caught on the spot, and slightly more complex ones are caught nearby during the escape process. Footprint comparisons for such criminal suspects are often valuable.

Of course, if footprint comparison is used, the value is even greater.

Mu Zhiyang waited for Nicha and the others to leave and couldn't help but say, "I suddenly feel like we are doing cases abroad with dimensionality reduction strikes. The criminals here don't even know that footprints can be used to find people."

"Do domestic criminals know?" Wang Chuanxing asked Mu Zhiyang back.

"Uh... they don't?" Mu Zhiyang recalled and couldn't help but say, "Before I knew Team Leader Jiang, I don't think I knew much either. At that time, if there were footprints to be identified, they would be sent to the Qinghe Municipal Bureau, and they would return a conclusion. Sometimes they could give an approximate age, and could distinguish between male and female, and height and weight were basically just 'taller,' 'average,' or 'shorter'..."

"Chen Wenming, right? The conclusions he gives to the special task force are much more detailed, while the reports given to the district and county levels below are a bit more reserved." Wang Chuanxing was talking about the head of the trace inspection group of the Qinghe Municipal Bureau's Criminal Science Institute.

Jiang Yuan had also dealt with Chen Wenming, nodded slightly, and said, "Team Leader Chen's technology is okay, but it's not very stable."

Chen Wenming's footprint identification level is also sub-expert level, which means that if he invests a lot of time, including conducting on-site research and judgment, he can give expert-level conclusions. If he just takes a casual look, he can only give elite-level conclusions. Naturally, under these circumstances, ordinary cases at the district and county levels will not receive too many resource allocations.

In contrast, Jiang Yuan's footprint identification is purely off the charts.

Even if placed in the expert database of the ministry, there are many footprint experts who can reach LV4, but LV5 is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. In addition to being an LV5 footprint identification expert, Jiang Yuan can also combine other technologies to use them together. This is truly super invincible.

And such footprint identification skills are brought to Malaysia...

Jiang Yuan flipped through the case files, browsed through three or four cases in one breath, and said, "If you want to talk about any advantages, the biggest advantage is actually that these cases have not been screened by footprint experts. Some cases look like they can indeed be done using footprint identification."

"Really, can any cases be solved?" The one active on the scene was instead Police Liaison Officer Chu Guanliang. From his perspective, being able to solve a case is very good, especially since the cases Nicha brought this time are all cold cases. The difficulty and importance of such cases are superior to current cases in any country.

The net of justice is wide, and though it may be expressed differently in different countries, the demands of ordinary people are the same.

No matter how difficult cold cases are to solve, police officers always hope to solve them, and there are always some people who try their best to solve them. Only by constantly solving cold cases can there be the greatest deterrent to criminals. From the perspective of the police, the reason why the vast majority of people do not commit crimes is not because of any soul of truth, goodness, and beauty, but simply out of selfish fear.

Therefore, in any country, solving cold cases and constantly solving cold cases is the pursuit of all normal police systems and is also necessary for social public security.

Malaysia is no exception.

As a police liaison officer, Chu Guanliang could imagine the extra courtesy he would receive after Jiang Yuan solved the cold cases—from being a police liaison officer of a country that needs close contact to becoming a police liaison officer of a country that has requests for him, the happiness would more than double.

Jiang Yuan was of course also willing to solve cold cases. He responded and said, "I haven't looked at them specifically yet, but the footprint evidence in these cases that Nicha brought over is quite abundant. Theoretically speaking, it should be possible to get some clues, but..."

"But?" Chu Guanliang frowned.

"Malaysia has relatively few supporting facilities for footprint evidence, and it is not easy to conduct investigations. Simply determining some characteristics of the suspect does not necessarily mean you can identify the person." Jiang Yuan was not considering purely technical matters, but the issue of resource investment.

Domestically, there are ID cards, police communication tools, technical reconnaissance, and image reconnaissance. As long as the suspect's identity is determined, it is not difficult to arrest them.

Malaysia does not have such conditions. In fact, there will be many problems in the step of confirming the suspect's identity.

"If this is the case, it is actually recommended to find some more important cases." Cui Xiaohu coughed twice, sat closer to Jiang Yuan, his voice small, only his lips moving, and said, "If the difficulty is not too different, the local police station might be willing to invest more resources in cases with greater influence."

"This is the same for everyone." Chu Guanliang balanced it out.

Cui Xiaohu said "Uh" and said, "But we have a policy that every homicide must be solved. Moreover, we don't have many cold cases left in recent years, so we can concentrate our efforts on solving them. Solving any cold case is a great achievement. For the Malaysian police, their understanding in this regard is probably different from ours."

Jiang Yuan nodded slowly. In some areas where cases occur frequently, he actually has similar feelings. When resources are limited, it is natural to prioritize major cases.

"If we talk about fame, among the cases Nicha brought, the drowning case of Member of Parliament Lun En can be said to be the most sensational case of that year. This case was not solved, and the Malaysian police bore huge pressure and were scolded by public opinion for nearly a year. If it is restarted now, the Malaysian police will definitely spare no effort in manpower and material resources." Chu Guanliang has been a police liaison officer for a while and is very familiar with the situation of the local police.

"Member of Parliament... their status in Malaysia is very high, right? And the case was not solved?" Jiang Yuan and Cui Xiaohu looked at each other.

Chu Guanliang said "Hmm" and said, "Lun En was a member of parliament and could be considered powerful. Precisely because of this, the people around him were also powerful, making it difficult to investigate. This is probably the biggest problem the Malaysian police encountered. In addition, on the day Lun En died, his family was holding a party with many guests coming and going. It wasn't until the next day that Lun En was found drowned by the pool. The police were never able to lock onto a suspect."

While speaking, Chu Guanliang flipped out the corresponding case files, took a rough look, and confirmed, "Basically, that's it. They also investigated many people, but in the end, there was no evidence, and it was handled carelessly."

"In this, will it involve political issues?" Cui Xiaohu asked.

Chu Guanliang closed the case file and said, "It is very likely to be involved. But let's just say, if you want a case that the local police will take seriously, and you hope the case is one they are willing to solve at all costs, there is always a probability that it will involve politics."

"Uh, then our... especially Team Leader Jiang's safety, how can it be guaranteed?" Wang Chuanxing's rank was lower, but he still asked boldly.

"Generally, it won't happen." Chu Guanliang said, then looked at Cui Xiaohu and said, "Shall we each report to our leaders? Many cases here will involve a little bit of this. As long as it passes on the surface, we can just walk away later. If we encounter a situation."

Cui Xiaohu couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuan.

"I'll look at the case first." Jiang Yuan took the case file back to read. If there is a relatively high probability of solving the case, the content discussed by the two just now has a basis. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pure waste of time?
