Chapter 982

Noon.

The number of returning police cars began to increase significantly, and the newly vacated case-handling center began to get busy again.

Most of the people brought back didn't even count as suspects and still belonged to the masses, so they all entered interview rooms, not interrogation rooms.

Compared to interrogation rooms, which are interrogation rooms in the usual sense, interview rooms are much warmer, usually with sofas to sit on, water to drink, and the rare sight of the interrogating police officer's smile. Here, they won't be handcuffed, and there won't be chains like seatbelts locking their chests. In short, they can still maintain the basic dignity of being a human being.

Most people enter the interview room, tell the story of the year, and make a transcript, which is about it. Those with questions will continue to make transcripts, be constantly questioned, and then gradually move closer to interrogation.

Bringing people to the police station for questioning is for the seriousness of the questioning.

When a person is in their own home, at work, or outdoors, they will habitually talk nonsense, as if lying has no cost.

In fact, there is no cost, but it is different at the police station.

Every conversation in the police station will be recorded, will be repeatedly questioned, will be further politely interrogated, and then sternly interrogated.

A small number of people who have moved to other places were also brought to the local police station for questioning. The so-called "phone call for small cases, personal visit for big cases"—the Jianmen Academy case is a famous major case in the Beijing Bureau, and the police officers responsible for bringing people were very cautious even when making phone calls, fearing they would alert the enemy.

The effect was also... not significant at all.

"There are no other clues. Just the point of being the victim's colleague, plus the item of striking it rich, this is the list we can narrow down." Wang Wang Chuanxing handed a thin list to Jiang Yuan.

There were still 6 people on the list; briefly described, they were the 6 people among Zhang Zhang Xiaoming's colleagues whose sources of huge wealth were unknown.

"What are the investigation results?" Jiang Yuan knew that these 6 people must have been questioned.

"No obvious evidence." Wang Wang Chuanxing shook his head slightly, meaning that this screening was again all thunder and no rain.

Jiang Yuan felt a little disappointed. As far as his criminal investigation career is concerned, this time was also a failure, big or small.

Liu Liu Jinghui saw it at a glance and smiled: "It's normal to find clues to check and have no conclusion. If this screening has no results, just check another clue next."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look at Liu Liu Jinghui.

Liu Liu Jinghui was stunned and instantly understood: "Right, we don't have a second clue anymore. Haha, it seems I rarely encounter this situation when working on a case with you."

"That is to say, you still frequently encounter similar situations?" Jiang Yuan heard the meaning.

Liu Liu Jinghui smiled: "It should be said that half of the cases I participate in are like this. The current criminal police team, they are all cases that can't be pushed forward, and the criminal science people are at their wits' end, so they look for me."

"Is that so?"

"Everyone loves criminal science people." Liu Liu Jinghui glanced at Jiang Yuan sideways.

In fact, in terms of being favored, criminal science people are clearly not among the group that is favored. If it is said that criminal police have endless cases to handle, the technical personnel among criminal police have endless lines to fill.

In short, wherever people are needed, just go there.

Of course, technical personnel in criminal science are a bit more favored than those who do reasoning.

Jiang Yuan didn't have much opportunity to feel this kind of differential treatment, or rather, as a county-level forensic doctor, since he started his job, except for the dirty, messy, and poor working environment, interpersonal relationships have always been relatively easy to get along with. Leaders attach importance to it, and the people he works with also respect forensic doctors relatively more.

Jiang Yuan asked: "Then when you encountered such a situation before, and other criminal police teams encountered such a situation, what did they generally do?"

"Criminal police teams in different places are different. If you are relatively stingy, like the one in Longli County, then just smoke cigarettes. Smoke good or bad cigarettes together; quantity defeats quality. If you smoke too much, your brain might just come up with some ideas." Liu Liu Jinghui described it with great experience: "Personally, I prefer eating hot pot, the spicier the better."

"After eating spicy food, the mind is clear?" Wang Wang Chuanxing carefully learned the secret book.

Liu Liu Jinghui shook his head: "I just like eating hot pot."

Wang Wang Chuanxing rolled his eyes.

"However..." Liu Liu Jinghui smiled and said: "Resting for a while is always good, changing your mind or something."

"Get something good to eat; hot pot takes too much time. Just dry pot, all kinds of dry pot, order more." Jiang Yuan chose one of the plans.

Compared to solving the case, this is obviously much easier.

Soon, the building of the Criminal Investigation Detachment was filled with the smell of hot dry pot—as a Jiang villager, Jiang Yuan was not polite at all when treating guests with other people's money.

Tao Lu obviously couldn't be the bad guy, so the criminal police who had been busy all day didn't pretend to have work anymore and started eating dry pot lively in the restaurant.

At this time, an Audi A6 drove into the courtyard of the Criminal Investigation Detachment in a low-key manner.

By the time Tao Lu received the news, people had already entered the door.

"Bureau leaders are here. Bureau Chief You." Tao Lu only had time to make a phone call to Jiang Yuan.

The Criminal Investigation Detachment has a separate office space, and such units that do business actually rarely host receptions on a daily basis.

However, when leaders occasionally come over, seeing everyone eating a big meal is also a little bit nervous.

Tao Lu accompanied him to say a few words and hurriedly explained: "Everyone has been busy for several days and is in a 24-hour standby state. Morale is a bit low, so let everyone eat something good."

"Your food is not bad." Bureau Chief You smiled, unable to see his thoughts, and only said: "How is the Jianmen Academy case progressing?"

"Still in the screening process." Tao Lu couldn't say that the clues were broken and everyone was relying on delicious food to restore their state.

Bureau Chief You said "Well": "Are there any problems I need to solve?"

Tao Lu hesitated for a moment and said: "Not for the time being."

Although it is rare for leaders to take the initiative to offer help, Tao Lu really has no demand for resources here.

The progress of this case is not stuck by resources.

When Bureau Chief You heard this, his brows frowned instead. He obviously saw Tao Lu's guilty conscience. If it were a victorious army singing and advancing, there would be those who would ask for treatment at this time.

"Where is Jiang Yuan?" Bureau Chief You immediately began to look for more effective interviewees.

"Coming right away." Tao Lu signaled to his subordinates, and someone clever immediately went to report the news.

After a while, Jiang Yuan brought a few people over, all carrying PADs and case files.

Seeing this, Bureau Chief You smiled and waved his hand, saying: "I won't ask about the specific case. I have also been away from the front line for a long time. You just tell me whether this case can continue to be done. Should it be pushed forward or should it be braked?"

He stared at Jiang Yuan, giving him a lot of pressure.

Jiang Yuan, who was full of dry pot, patted his stomach, was silent for a full minute, and then said: "Since you asked, I actually have a guess. I originally wanted to verify other plans before discussing this plan... Now, it can actually be considered that other plans have been verified..."

"Team Leader Jiang." Liu Liu Jinghui thought of the previous discussion and couldn't help but want to remind Jiang Yuan. If it involves politics...

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly at him and said: "We have always had a guess that the killer may have already died."

"Well?" Not only Bureau Chief You, but Liu Liu Jinghui and others couldn't help but be stunned. This answer is different from what they discussed before.

Jiang Yuan had obviously been thinking deeply for a period of time, spread his hands and said: "The killer will use a flying claw. This is a very advanced skill. It is a bit wasteful not to use it later. Secondly, we have screened very carefully. If we haven't screened it out like this, it is likely because we have been screening among living people..."

"Is there any evidence?" Bureau Chief You is also very sharp. He knows very well that at his level, subordinates will not bring out pure guesses to talk about.

Jiang Yuan nodded, let Wang Wang Chuanxing take out a photo, handed it to Bureau Chief You, and said: "In the past two days, when everyone was screening people, I have also been looking at photos, specifically asking people to find many photos of the factory's employees, especially photos where you can see the hand shape... In addition, I also learned about the flying claw technique."

Jiang Yuan said here, and then described: "The practice of the flying claw is very hard. Several special positions on the hand will wear out calluses, and this kind of callus is very difficult to eliminate. Well, just like students who study, those who have studied well will wear out calluses on the first section of the middle finger, and it will not be eliminated even after twenty or thirty years. The flying claw is about the same."

Jiang Yuan said here, pointed to a young man in the photo, and said: "This photo is not very clear, but there are no other photos. Wang Wang Chuanxing and the others are also investigating this person, but it will take a while."

"How long?" Bureau Chief You asked directly.

"The time it takes to eat a hot pot." Jiang Yuan didn't say too full.

"Get a hot pot, I'll eat some too." Bureau Chief You sat down, and suddenly there was a feeling of approachability all over his body.
