Chapter 90: The Wind Has Risen

The wind has risen.

Li Zemin bit a Basha cigarette, stood in the corridor, and looked at the sky melancholically.

The yellow sky is above, the thick earth is dancing, the world is turbid, as if demons are dancing wildly. Flying sand and moving stones, fine sand all over the sky, the buildings are blurry, as if monsters are rampant...

A figure moved over step by step from afar, with a firm pace and slow movements, one footprint at a time, like a giant, like a titan, like the descent of the God of Thunder, like Section Chief Yang Ling.

"Oh, take it easy." Li Zemin quickly threw away the cigarette in his hand and steadied Yang Ling, who was about to fall.

"Many thanks." Yang Ling patted the dust off her body, but couldn't get it clean, so she could only smile helplessly: "The wind is too strong."

"Isn't it, the cigarette was blown away by me." Li Zemin felt a pity, the 11-yuan Basha cigarette, but he bought it himself. Thinking like this, Li Zemin couldn't help but say: "I just thought it was Jiang Yuan who came back. This kid's computer stopped, and I don't know if he calculated the time right."

"Should be back soon, eating."

"Eh, is there food in the canteen at this time?" Li Zemin was surprised.

"He ordered takeout and wanted it delivered inside, but the guards wouldn't let it in, so I went to get it." Yang Ling shook the sand off her body and added: "He ordered Japanese food, a 398 or 388 set meal. He'll probably come once he's finished eating."

"You didn't accompany him to eat a little? No, he didn't invite you to eat a little?"

"Heh." Yang Ling knew Li Zemin wanted to tease her, so she said generously: "I'm not used to sashimi, and I don't dare get used to it; my family hasn't had their home demolished for compensation."

Li Zemin laughed happily: "I'm used to smoking Zhonghua, but I'm embarrassed to take it directly."

"There are times when you're shy, too." Yang Ling wasn't actually very familiar with Li Zemin, but she was familiar with this group of trace evidence examiners; they were all people with the heart of a thief but not the guts, with heavier bottoms than veteran criminal police, fewer dirty jokes, and a preference for being overly familiar and intimate.

Li Zemin really laughed quite happily.

Yang Ling walked back into the large office and glanced at the "Cold Case Solving Ranking." Behind Zhu Huanguang's name, the battle results had increased to 5.

However, the gap with Jiang Yuan's 7 battle results was still very obvious.

Various thoughts swirled in Yang Ling's mind, but she didn't say a word. She opened the computer connected to the projector, inserted a USB drive, and went through a series of operations.

In a moment, another list was listed next to the "Cold Case Solving Ranking List."

"Murder Cold Case Ranking List."

Ranked first, still Jiang Yuan, with 2 results.

Yes, besides the taxi robbery and murder case of the blood handprint, among the cases Jiang Yuan rolled out last night, there was another murder case.

Ranked 2nd and 3rd, two other experts, each solved a murder case, all equal to the cases rolled out from last night to today.

The cases solved by Zhu Huanguang did not contain murder cases, and were tied for last with many other experts.

Only three people had battle results on the entire "Cold Case Homicide Ranking," but even so, Yang Ling was quite satisfied.

She didn't put this list out before, because she was afraid that the number of murder cases solved was too small and not good-looking. Now that it is put out, it means that 4 murder cold cases have been solved, and she is already very satisfied.

In previous years, doing such a fingerprint battle, as long as murder cases can be solved, it is a successful battle.

Even the fingerprint battle organized by the Ministry, collecting the most powerful fingerprint experts in the country to participate, there are not many murder cold cases that can be solved.

The goal of the fingerprint battle organized by the Provincial Department will be relatively lower. Murder cases are what they wish for, but they cannot only pursue this... unless, the quantity reaches a certain expectation.

For example, four murder cases?

Yang Ling looked happily at the "Homicide Cold Case Ranking" on the wall. There was no need to say anything; the various experts in the office must all be able to understand her thoughts.

Woo woo woo...

The computer in the tea room called again, the sound went from small to large, and after a short moan, it pulled its throat and turned into a howl regardless of image.

Jiang Yuan walked into the office, his tall figure blocking the projector for a moment. He walked over, nodded to Yang Ling, returned to his seat, and inserted his USB drive, copying out the images the computer had processed over the past few hours.

Jiang Yuan looked at the marks and looked at them one by one.

Yang Ling walked over, smiled at Jiang Yuan, and said, "Are you tired, Teacher Jiang? Actually, you can rest for a while."

Zhu Huanguang not far away also thought so, and even nodded subconsciously.

Jiang Yuan had a young man's casual style, only saying: "It's still quite tired, but it's okay. I see everyone is working very late..."

"Not as late as you." Li Zemin next to Jiang Yuan pointed to the ranking list and said: "The two first places are all taken by you, what are you in a hurry for."

Yang Ling coughed twice and looked at Li Zemin: "Expert Li, every time Teacher Jiang matches a fingerprint now, a case is solved, a victim and their family are comforted, and one or more criminals are punished..."

"I said it wrong, I said it wrong." Li Zemin hurriedly apologized.

Yang Ling smiled again and said to Jiang Yuan: "Teacher Jiang, let me report to you on the further progress of these cases."

Jiang Yuan's attention was indeed attracted.

Criminal police, no matter how busy they are, there is no one who does not care about cases. Including those who do fingerprints, they are all aimed at case detection. On this point, all the experts present are the same. Everyone expects their work to help the case, and if it can become a key breakthrough or evidence, the sense of achievement is even stronger.

Yang Ling didn't talk about honors or bonuses—she hadn't prepared for them, and they might not even exist—but she knew that talking about cases was enough to satisfy these trace evidence experts.

Even if they are the strongest fingerprint experts in the province, they are all so vulgar at this time.

Yang Ling stood in front of Jiang Yuan, her voice neither loud nor soft, and said: "Let's start with the second homicide case you matched. This one is very likely premeditated murder. The fingerprint you matched is currently suspected to be the victim's wife's lover. The local criminal police have already gone to make the arrest; further news probably won't be available until tomorrow..."

"Love killing?" Jiang Yuan also knew the direction of the matched fingerprint now.

Yang Ling nodded and said: "This is a case from 6 years ago. I followed up on the situation when I came over; the victim's wife and her lover have very likely already broken up. It's as if a person died for nothing..."

She then talked about the other 3 cases, spending less than ten minutes in total.

By the time she finished speaking and left, Jiang Yuan had accumulated infinite motivation.

"Roll it up." Jiang Yuan sat upright and began to refine the copied fingerprint images.

He is also relatively skilled now, and it is a fingerprint image that has been basically processed clean. Refining it takes ten or twenty minutes, and it is almost usable.

Similar to ordinary fingerprint marking, the refined fingerprint is also first marked with feature points, and then system compared... The difference is that if the result cannot be compared, it is pulled back to re-refine, and then it is re-marked...

Compared with ordinary fingerprint images, this kind of fingerprint image that needs extra processing is still more complicated and takes more time.

But it is precisely because these blurry images are more complicated and difficult to process, after they are processed clearly, the hope of matching is actually greater. After all, the trace inspectors at the city and county level below encounter similar fingerprints and basically have no ability to process them, so there is no basis for comparison, unlike those clear images, which don't know how many times they have been compared by others, and if they can't match, they can't match.

After looking at less than 1000 fingerprint images, Jiang Yuan matched the first fingerprint of the day.

Looking at the battle result number behind the "Cold Case Solving Ranking List," Jiang Yuan didn't mean to stop.

He didn't continue to compare according to the smoothness of fingerprint image processing, but scanned the case situation, picked out a murder case fingerprint from the fingerprint images behind.

This is a case of wild corpse abandonment. The deceased died of strangulation. The murderer could not be found, and there was no suspect. The fingerprint was extracted from the collar behind the corpse's neck. The clarity was rotten and rotten, but because it was a key fingerprint, it was also compared by many experts before finally giving up.

Just as mentioned before, fingerprint comparison of murder cases has always been a higher-level existence.

Jiang Yuan was relaxed at this time, and suddenly wanted to challenge a murder case fingerprint again.

Roll out a new height!
