Chapter 906: Coo-coo

Coo-coo.

A wild pigeon flew in from over the courtyard wall, squatted on the ground, and began eating bugs on the lawn without a care in the world. It wasn't until a group of people passed by nearby that it flapped its wings reluctantly, but upon turning its head and seeing that it was just a few chubby boys passing by, it landed again, feeling at ease.

The Chief of the Changle Bureau led the way with a smile, taking the opportunity to introduce the situation to the several leaders beside him.

For several days in a row, the supervising leaders had come to provide guidance, which was a very good omen for the Changle Bureau. Although some leaders actually had plenty of free time, working hours were limited after all; being able to secure time and resources from subordinates was still very important. This was the same as entertainment platforms competing for user time; if you asked what the specific benefits were, they wouldn't know, but letting it be handed over to a competitor was absolutely out of the question.

"Has Jiang Yuan arrived?" The Chief knew what the leaders were here to see, so he glanced at the wild pigeon and asked Captain Lang Heng, who had hurried over.

"He's here, doing image analysis and the like. He just had us buy a good computer," Captain Lang Heng said with a smile, feeling that the tens of thousands of yuan he had just spent was very honorable, and he briefly introduced the general situation.

"Can we do the image analysis that Jiang Yuan is doing, and can we do it well?" the leader asked.

"This..." Captain Lang Heng glanced at the Chief and said truthfully, "We don't have the reserves for this area. If we had to do it before, we would always seek support from the Provincial Department."

"How is the level of the Provincial Department?" The question here immediately hit the key point.

Captain Lang Heng still looked at the Chief, then said in a firm tone, "Jiang Yuan does it well, much better. When the Provincial Department encounters difficult cases, they still turn back to find Jiang Yuan."

Jiang Yuan's image enhancement was at LV3, but this technology was not centered on the police community. The tech giants all worked in various top-tier high-tech enterprises and were widely distributed. The secondary level consisted of professors and researchers at world-class universities, and then came various application-oriented enterprises. Brushing down level by level, the Shannan Provincial Department couldn't retain an LV3 technician in this trade.

The superior was not surprised; he nodded calmly and said, "There's no helping that. Jiang Yuan can walk sideways in the capital based on his skills. Last time I went to a meeting, when people heard I was from Shannan Province, you wouldn't know how enthusiastic the peers in the capital were; it was really like they were family..."

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky. Just then, the wild pigeon flew up; its feathers were actually oily and lustrous, looking like it ate well and exercised often.

"Should we invite Jiang Yuan over?" Captain Lang Heng asked on his behalf.

"If he's working, let's not disturb him for now. By the way, I saw that Jiang Yuan ordered a meal from Xingyue Tower yesterday. Isn't Xingyue Tower famous for its roast squab? Let's order some roast squab and have it sent over."

"Alright." Captain Lang Heng agreed immediately and added, "Jiang Yuan is treating himself. His family background is excellent."

"A person from Jiang Village," the Chief added, smiling. "A person from Jiang Village in Mount Sining."

The crowd then began to chat and laugh again, entering the conference room to listen to the new PPT made by Wang Chuanxing.

Jiang Yuan directly activated the temporary +1 skill for image enhancement.

He hadn't expected the Chen Nuan drowning case to be so protracted. This time, Jiang Yuan could be said to have truly experienced the work feeling of an ordinary homicide task force.

The corpse discovered in the lower reaches of the Tai River led to an investigation starting from Ningtai County, consuming a huge amount of time and energy to finally identify the source of the corpse. Then, they had to mobilize a large force from the deceased's hometown to the workplace, Changle. A group of dozens of people, with a total of over a hundred, moved from one region to another, and then moved to a new region. During this period, the expenses for fuel, vehicles, and travel were six figures every day just by opening their eyes, without doing anything else.

With so many people following Jiang Yuan, unable to return home for over ten days in a row, even if morale remained high, the psychological pressure on Jiang Yuan, as the person in charge, was also very great.

Come to think of it, up to now, his skills had barely had room to be utilized in this case.

Therefore, having the opportunity to use image enhancement, Jiang Yuan didn't even hesitate to deploy the skills he could use first.

The newly bought computer let out a strong hum. The fan, which hadn't yet been covered in dust, probably didn't expect that the first time it was turned on in its life, it would have to go all out like this, and soon it got louder and louder.

Jiang Yuan started from the section where Chen Nuan could no longer be clearly seen, trying to enhance the image section by section.

Currently, knowing the location where Chen Nuan disappeared, and knowing the time and approximate area where her mobile phone signal vanished, one can deduce... absolutely nothing.

Because the positions and angles of the cameras are different, there is too much imagery to see; furthermore, image enhancement is not a full-frame enhancement. If you want to strengthen a certain part, you often have to sacrifice another.

Jiang Yuan did not play with mathematics; he honestly started image enhancement from the section where Chen Nuan disappeared. He worked for a distance of several hundred meters, only to see that the sky in the video had turned completely dark. Just when image enhancement was also at its wit's end, he saw Chen Nuan enter a building.

Jiang Yuan immediately looked at the top right corner; the timestamp "19:12" was clearly listed.

Calculating the time, in three more minutes, Chen Nuan's mobile phone signal would disappear.

"Shenghong Building." Jiang Yuan let out a breath. This was the last place Chen Nuan disappeared.

Jiang Yuan took another sip of tea and looked at the time in the bottom right corner. In a trance, it was already afternoon.

"Chuanxing." Jiang Yuan opened the door and shouted, only to see that the office outside was already full of people.

He didn't know which department the office he occupied belonged to. The independent office inside was not big, only about 10 square meters, using a lot of frosted glass. The office outside was the real concrete partition, with an area of over a hundred square meters. At this time, it was packed, feeling like there were one and a half times the number of people in the cold case task force.

"Jiang Yuan." Captain Lang Heng stood up to greet him and smiled, "The leader said not to disturb you. We were just looking at the case outside. How is it on your end?"

Jiang Yuan didn't have much emotional intelligence left at this time, so he smiled and said directly, "Chen Nuan entered an apartment building, inside Shenghong Building."

Captain Lang Heng didn't expect that there would really be a result, and he was quite pleasantly surprised. "I know this building... It's quite complicated inside, with both companies and business operators, doing things like private kitchens... I don't know if their property management installed surveillance in the elevator..."

Captain Lang Heng said, immediately arranging for personnel to go and investigate.

The task force began to move. After working for a while, Captain Lang Heng introduced, "There is a small business district near Shenghong Building. The buildings in front are all these 20-story commercial and residential buildings. Some owners bought them for self-occupation, and some rented them out to be converted into cafes, private kitchens, childcare classes, etc. The most numerous are small companies. There are disputes and police reports almost every week. It's a relatively complicated area in our city."

"I'll go take a look too." Jiang Yuan couldn't sit still after hearing this. There were many commercial and residential buildings like Shenghong Building in Ningtai County and Qinghe City. His father, Jiang Fujian, had bought quite a few, but later cleared them out one after another. Because this kind of commercial and residential building was easy to rent, the turnover of tenants was too high, and property management preferred to cause trouble. If one pursued the rate of return, it was better to sell them all and buy entire commercial storefronts.

Jiang Yuan said and got up to set off.

The Chief and others hesitated for a moment, and then they could only see Jiang Yuan's back.

"Squab... should we start making it?" The waiter at Xingyue Tower stood far away in the hallway, only seeing a vast number of people coming out, so he hurried over to wait.

"Wait a while before making it." The Chief recalled the story of warming wine to behead Hua Xiong, and his interest was greatly aroused. He simply called the propaganda police over to draft the article on the spot.

The propaganda police was a bit confused and whispered, "If the case hasn't been solved, how should we write it?"

The Chief glanced at him calmly: "Then write it for Jiang Yuan and Huang Qiangmin to see." ===== CHAPTER 907 =====
