Chapter 816: Returning Home

Badawi held out longer than expected, but as his alibi was destroyed, his resistance gradually became meaningless.

Nizar and the other police personnel gradually became excited, like carnivores that had bitten into their prey's flesh, finally waiting for the moment to feast.

More problems were pointed out in Badawi's testimony, his figure in the surveillance footage was examined frame by frame, and his unpleasantness with Lunn before the incident was observed by various media outlets with magnifying glasses.

After the protective shield of the late congressman's son-in-law disappeared, the role of a suspected murderer of a congressman naturally made Badawi's path difficult. But in the absence of direct evidence, he still had room to resist.

Jiang Yuan cooperated with the investigation by providing some new evidence, but gradually began to feel a bit bored. It was true that the police attached great importance to a major case like Badawi's, but the attention was a bit too much and too trivial, to the point where Nizar and the others didn't want to open new cases at all, just wanting to constantly add chips to the "Councilman Lunn Drowning Case."

This type of work is usually done by the prosecution in the country. Even if some cases have high requirements, or the prosecutor has high requirements, leading to supplementary investigations, it wouldn't waste the time of an expert like Jiang Yuan. The special task force had plenty of experienced, diligent officers who didn't need to go home.

"Let's go back first." Jiang Yuan didn't need to ask for anyone's opinion now; saying it was just to notify Nizar that it was time to hire a business jet.

Nizar naturally wanted Jiang Yuan to stay for a while longer. After his attempts to persuade him failed, he obediently had people make the arrangements.

The deal he had with Huang Qiangmin wasn't a one-off, but rather... a long-term, mutually beneficial, friendly partnership after friendly consultation. Although it was still far from an all-weather strategic partnership, the foundation for cooperation had been laid.

An Embraer Legacy 650 was like a pillar, deeply driven into the foundation of the cooperation between the two sides.

Compared to the famous Gulfstream and Bombardier series, the Legacy 650 from Embraer had a much lower cost, and it was also the main driver for Embraer's rise to become the world's fourth-largest.

A 13-seat aircraft was also a large one among business jets, and a single flight cost over a million yuan. In fact, Embraer's business jets and regional aircraft once sold very well, with orders for hundreds of planes flying in countries around the world. It was also one of the first airlines to build a factory in China, until one year when Embraer hired Jackie Chan as a spokesperson, and then sold itself to Boeing.

Inside the cabin, in addition to seats, there were long sofas and other facilities, providing a slightly larger activity space and significantly higher comfort.

Mu Zhiyang took advantage of the fact that everyone was still in their seats to lie on the sofa and experience it, saying lazily and comfortably, "I really want to just lie flat on the sofa of a private jet and never get up again."

"And then let the plane take you to a higher position, right?" Wang Chuanxing hummed twice, put down his laptop with a "thud," and said, "Haven't you seen movies? In movies, those who sit on private jets are all there to work."

"Since we're already on a private jet, why do we have to work?"

"That's the only way to prove to others that we have a reason to save time." Wang Chuanxing turned the computer toward Mu Zhiyang and said, "Find a few cases to work on properly. If we can solve a homicide in the few hours on the plane, it would be justifiable."

Mu Zhiyang used his finger to dig his ear: "Why don't you record it and listen to what you're saying..."

Changyang City Airport.

Yu Wenshu had been watching the narrow little plane land and hurried over by car.

When he reached the side, Jiang Yuan had already walked off the plane.

"Team Jiang, thank you for your hard work." Yu Wenshu smiled gently and elegantly, shook Jiang Yuan's hand very sincerely, and then said to Huang Qiangmin, who came out behind him: "Since you're here, stay in our Changyang City for a while."

Huang Qiangmin coughed twice and said: "We just got back. Won't you let our Jiang Yuan rest a bit?"

"Jiang Yuan has a house in Changyang City, his own house. It's impossible for him not to rest well." As Yu Wenshu said this, he saw Wang Chuanxing and the others come out and immediately said: "Little Wang, come here, come here... Let me see, the environment really shapes people. You guys follow Wu Wu Fa Yi Jiang to learn, and you must also take good care of Wu Wu Fa Yi Jiang's health. Don't let him work too hard."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Wang Chuanxing nodded like a chick pecking at rice. He had been seconded from the Changyang City Bureau to Ningtai County, and from head to toe, he belonged to Yu Wenshu. This was the moment to show how obedient he was.

Huang Qiangmin saw that Yu Wenshu had no intention of letting go of his hand at all. Thinking that he hadn't been to Changyang City much this year, and thinking that the cold case task force used people from the Changyang City Bureau, the smile on his face couldn't help but spread like ink: "Branch Chief Yu's warm invitation, how dare I disobey!"

Yu Wenshu: "Then will you rest first today, or shall we have a meal first?"

"Jiang Yuan, what do you think?" Huang Qiangmin looked at Jiang Yuan.

"I'm not very tired. If there are cases that need to be handled immediately, looking at them now is fine. Otherwise, we can wait until tomorrow." Jiang Yuan naturally scheduled himself.

"There will always be cases. You rest well first." Yu Wenshu smiled happily. Changyang was a big city of 10 million people. In such a city, the number of deaths every day exceeded a hundred. Although it didn't necessarily mean there were cases, it was still a city where homicides were constant.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, signaling everyone to get in the car together, and then said: "Let's go to the police station. Are there any current cases? Is there a scene?"

Yu Wenshu laughed: "If you want to say there are, there are definitely plenty of cases."

Huang Qiangmin walked over: "Let's talk slowly in the car."

The two walked side by side for a while, then got into the Coaster together.

When everyone was present, Yu Wenshu had people distribute the materials to everyone, coughed twice, and said: "Since Jiang Yuan is here, let's talk about a case. The deceased is a village doctor, the kind who runs a private clinic in the village. The body was discovered three days ago in a reed marsh in the local area. The deceased's background is clear, and there are no strong interested parties. As for the body, we haven't found a good breakthrough point for the time being..."

"Meaning... there are no clues at all?" Huang Qiangmin was a bit surprised. A case from three days ago should have been investigated quite thoroughly. In a normal homicide investigation, the case should have been solved by now.

Yu Wenshu said "Hmm" and said: "It rained a few days ago. The reed marsh also flooded. In addition, the condition of the body is not very good."

If it weren't for the difficulty, he wouldn't have been so proactive in running to find Jiang Yuan.

Huang Qiangmin helped step on the mine and said: "What about the means of transportation?"

Abandoning a body usually requires transportation; you can't run very far carrying it.

Yu Wenshu coughed twice and said: "There is a county road nearby, but because of the rain, the traces at the scene of the body dumping are not significant."

"What about the checkpoints?"

"No results." Yu Wenshu answered, and then said: "The forensic doctor judged the time of death and believes the victim has been dead for two days. We pushed back three more days, and there were no suspicious vehicles..."

In the absence of other clues, it is very difficult to find a car directly.

"What is the current direction of the investigation?" Jiang Yuan heard this and also saw the photos of the crime scene and the autopsy photos of the deceased from the computer of the Changyang City Bureau criminal police.

"If you hadn't come, we were prepared to re-investigate carefully from the perspective of interpersonal relationships." Yu Wenshu became serious as he said this. This method involves a lot of people, especially considering that the deceased was a village doctor, and the number of people he interacted with on a daily basis must be quite large. ===== CHAPTER 817 =====
