Chapter 913: ID number

Finding a direction is a more important thing than how many tasks have been completed.

Before turning to that leather shoe, Jiang Yuan actually didn't determine the direction of the next investigation—applying forensic anthropology is like this. You don't know what you can find on the bones, so you have no way to pre-set a position.

Of course, age, gender, height, and weight belong to the foundation of forensic anthropology. They belong to things that can be determined as long as bones are found, and they are not about directionality.

And the appearance of the leather shoe at least proved one thing: the murderer did not carefully handle the victim's objects additionally.

At the very least, not careful enough to take off the leather shoes. Then it is likely that he would not empty the pockets—the murderer is actually quite panicked, especially the first-time murderer, and it is abandoning the corpse in a place like the village fish pond. According to reason, if you want to streamline the deceased's personal belongings, you should streamline them in advance, and you wouldn't streamline them when abandoning the corpse.

Of course, because the deceased's cause of death is not determined, it is also possible that the murderer killed him on the spot by the fish pond. Then this situation is the same. It is basically impossible to carefully clean up the objects on the deceased, which may become a breakthrough in the case.

As an investigator, it is indeed a manifestation of ability to solve the case without the murderer making mistakes. But if you can grasp the murderer's mistakes and break through in one fell swoop, you can also achieve the goal.

Reality is not a competition. Even for a "super detective" like Jiang Yuan, solving the case is the first priority. What expecting a high-IQ opponent, requiring an evenly matched enemy, that is the self-entertainment of Western culture. Chinese people never need this kind of thing to prove themselves.

If one must have high aspirations, the Chinese-style high aspirations are to conquer the world and reform society, not to defeat someone.

And after finding the leather shoe, Jiang Yuan didn't rush to trace the source until Shen Yaowei turned over all the shoe-type evidence in the "evidence pile", checked them all, and Jiang Yuan handed this work to Shen Yaowei.

If the victim's identity could be contacted or discovered through the shoes themselves, or objects like belts, that would be the best.

Although the sales volume of clothing is relatively large, and there are many production and distribution links, it has never been a good object for tracing the source, but this is a good clue after all.

Shen Yaowei thought seriously and proposed: "Team Jiang, I want to take this shoe to the manufacturer for an inspection. Because as far as I know, the specific materials used in each batch of shoes may change. Especially the glue inside, and the material of this genuine leather, the tanning process, etc., maybe it can be matched to a specific batch."

"Can." Jiang Yuan agreed immediately. Although even if it is specific to a certain batch, it does not necessarily determine the victim's identity, but this is a good clue after all.

Shen Yaowei immediately rolled up two smelly shoes that were soaked and swollen, carefully put them into the evidence bag, and started calling the manufacturer.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and started the manual conveyor belt again.

Under Jiang Yuan's signal, the conveyor belt walked slower.

Jiang Yuan felt that more time was needed to think.

Creak.

Liu Jinghui and Detachment Leader Lang came upon hearing the news.

The two quickly looked at the photos of the leather shoes and belts. Detachment Leader Lang was a bit surprised first: "It's a bit powerful that you can find the shoes worn by the deceased through the bones."

"Actually, to put it plainly, it's not difficult; it just requires considering many points. The main thing is this pair of shoes worn by the deceased; they have been worn long enough to have developed wear." Jiang Yuan paused, let the conveyor belt stop again, and explained: "For example, people with flat feet tend to have wear in the middle of their shoes, a phenomenon that does not occur in the shoes of people with good arches. Additionally, people who commonly walk with an out-toed gait will have uneven wear on the outer sides of their soles."

Jiang Yuan simulated the movement of the ankle and added: "For example, people with ankle eversion, the outside of their soles will wear out. And ankle eversion and flat feet are closely related. If the age is old enough and not corrected, it is easy for a person to have ankle eversion and flat feet at the same time. Correspondingly, ankle inversion and high arches are closely related, and it is easy to appear wear on the inside of the sole."

Jiang Yuan simulated the movement of the ankle and added: "The deceased's left side once suffered an impact, and there was a fracture of the ankle bone. Therefore, the shoes worn by the deceased will also have uneven force on one side, which is very easy to judge. This is easy to confuse with scoliosis and pelvic misalignment, so I specifically looked at the deceased's spine and pelvis. In addition, the wear marks on the deceased's knees can also be used as proof from the side..."

Detachment Leader Lang listened blankly.

The two forensic doctors in Changle City were at the scene, with innocent smiles on their faces. Some things are understood as soon as they are heard, but don't really think you can understand them just by listening.

Forensic anthropology is somewhat similar to antiques, both seem to be technology, and both carry a bit of art. What is heard in the ears is logic, and what is seen in the eyes is all feeling. But they can use other people's lives and other people's money to prove that they are correct.

"It's good to have a discovery." Detachment Leader Lang could understand the expressions of his two subordinates and knew that the topic was out of bounds, so he decisively chose to trust.

Liu Jinghui thought for a while and said: "Already found the belt and leather shoes, plus the shirt worn by the deceased himself, we might be able to guess the image of the deceased."

"Salesman?" Detachment Leader Lang had experience in this regard and immediately joined in.

"Is it a 38-year-old township salesman? It's not impossible, it's just a bit too miserable, miserable enough not to be worth murdering." Liu Jinghui seemed to be joking, but everyone knew he wasn't joking.

If a person is worthless, then there is no value in being killed.

"Affair? Date?" Detachment Leader Lang proposed a very suitable reason again.

A man in a suit and leather shoes, if he is here for a date, can solve the two things of dressing and murder motive.

Liu Jinghui denied: "If there is an affair, it is too arrogant to swagger into the village of the adulterer, and if it is the adulterer who is missing, even if the village doesn't call the police, the mistress should also call the police."

"Indeed." Detachment Leader Lang agreed and said very habitually: "Throwing a brick to attract jade, what do you think?"

Liu Jinghui: "I tend to think that the deceased has no strong correlation with the village. Otherwise, when you screened the missing persons, you should have been able to screen him. Speaking of which, a salesman is actually more consistent, but I think we can look for his jacket again. Based on the jacket, maybe we can have more judgments, for example, wearing a suit or a jacket... He shouldn't be able to come wearing only a shirt, the weather is not that warm yet."

Liu Jinghui paused after saying this, and added: "The jacket should be looked for seriously. If there is really no jacket, judging by the weather time when the deceased died, it can be considered that the deceased's jacket was left at the murderer's house, or the deceased drove a car and left the jacket in the car, and there might even be a companion. In this way, the nature of the case is different again."

Jiang Yuan immediately nodded and said: "Look for it in the evidence pile, see if there are any clothes, pay attention, don't tear the textiles."

This is the benefit of digging up the whole fish pond. If you want something, you can search for it. However, this is also based on Jiang Yuan finding the shoes. Otherwise, everyone would not think in this direction at all.

Several young people selected were sent by Detachment Leader Lang to dig for textiles in the evidence pile.

Detachment Leader Lang had just sent his most capable police force out this morning. Seeing that Jiang Yuan had a discovery, he was both gratified and regretful. After all, it was not a decisive discovery, which made his decision seem very correct.

At this moment, Detachment Leader Lang still had a sense of participation.

Detachment Leader Lang got up and went to the evidence pile to watch. Although the evidence pile gave off a strong stench, the feeling of going deep into the grassroots was still quite good.

Buzz buzz...

Detachment Leader Lang's mobile phone rang from time to time. That was the criminal police officers sent out reporting the situation to him.

Visiting is a very hard thing. Many times, you are tired to the point of leg cramps, and there is still no result. The area you visit might not have the trace of the target. No matter how hard you work, what can you do?

Therefore, Detachment Leader Lang, who came from a criminal police background, paid great attention to communicating with his subordinates, fully recognizing the efforts that his subordinates might have made without results, which could be regarded as a piece of emotional value for his subordinates.

"Is this clothes?" A young police officer picked up a string of rags.

The rag had a collar, so it was not just a simple rag.

The older forensic doctor immediately came over, took photos first, and then checked.

With the action of checking, a hard card leaked out of the pocket with a zipper.

"This seems to be a... internet card?" The forensic doctor carefully took it out, looked at it, and his eyes lit up.

The internet card has the name and card number of the internet cafe. The most critical thing is that internet cafes and hotels are important positions managed by the police. Under normal circumstances, they will be associated with ID numbers and facial recognition will be done.

Detachment Leader Lang immediately took a few photos and sent them to his subordinates via WeChat.

In just a few minutes, the subordinate called: "The internet card is from an internet cafe opened in the town. According to the information found by the number, the cardholder's name is Cai Tingxun, 38 years old, and he is an individual business owner in the wholesale market... I have sent the photo and ID number to your WeChat."

Detachment Leader Lang then opened his WeChat, and saw a photo of a middle-aged man with a wide, round face under a string of ID numbers. ===== CHAPTER 914 =====
