"Teacher Jiang, can you see if this computer is okay?" Yang Ling brought Jiang Yuan directly into an office workstation of the Image Investigation Department.
The workstation had been cleared out, the drawers were locked, and everything on the desk had been taken away, leaving only a computer, including the mouse and keyboard.
"I've installed the software you mentioned before. Can you try it out? If it doesn't work... we'll figure something out." Yang Ling left a little room for concern.
The Image Investigation Department took their own expensive computer very seriously, and Yang Ling had to say a lot of good things to borrow this one. If Jiang Yuan said it didn't work, she really wouldn't be able to get a better computer for a while.
The funding from the Provincial Department was indeed abundant, but there were many procedures to go through to buy electronic products, especially expensive ones.
It was definitely impossible to get one during the fingerprint battle.
Several police officers from the Image Investigation Department also looked at Jiang Yuan with a side-eye.
From their perspective, any image enhancement that Jiang Yuan did was just a waste of time.
Some of them even looked at Jiang Yuan with a clown's gaze.
Jiang Yuan completely ignored the gazes of others. In his life experience, when he was poor, only his relatives in the village would look at him and his father with respect. When his family became wealthy due to some uncontrollable circumstances, only his relatives in the village would look at him and his father with respect.
Other unrelated people were also unrelated in their views of people and things.
Jiang Yuan directly opened the computer, opened the software, and then opened the battle-specific folder to find a gold fingerprint that looked like a pile of mud. Then he opened Photoshop and began to do some preliminary processing.
"I Have a Record of Ghosts and Gods"
The so-called mud-like fingerprint, in elegant terms, was a rare and scattered fingerprint that looked like feces. The purpose of using software was to find the veins from the scattered feces, wipe away the unwanted feces, and preferably wash it clean.
This process was quite complicated and even had to be done layer by layer. The main concern was that if it was too harsh, the things inside would be washed away along with the unwanted things.
Photoshop had functions such as layering, sharpening, and noise reduction, but for mud-like fingerprints, it was still not enough.
Fortunately, there were many techniques for image enhancement, and there were even various algorithms to do the enhancement. Jiang Yuan rolled up his sleeves and got to work, and the new computer started to hum.
No matter how good or expensive a microcomputer was, when processing complex images, it could only make a lot of noise.
It was like a 50-kilogram girl, no matter how much she exercised or how high her configuration was, if a 150-kilogram opponent was pressing down on her, she could only scream."It looks like it's possible. It might take a while though," Jiang Yuan stood up and spoke to Yang Ling beside him.
Yang Ling listened to the loud roar coming from the computer and rubbed her ears, asking, "Is this okay? The noise is still quite loud."
"That's just how it is when working with images." Several technicians from the Image Investigation Division had gathered around them, and now they had the chance to speak. "This machine does make a lot of noise, but it's normal. Your machines are probably old and worn out."
"There is that high-pitched noise," Yang Ling nodded in recollection.
"Also, this machine is faster at processing images than your machines. It's less likely to crash, and if you need to search for something, you can multitask. But we don't recommend doing that... If Jiang Laoshi needs it, he can open another computer for image processing while using one for office work..." The technicians from the Image Investigation Division smiled and didn't mind the sound of the computer.
Yang Ling had been a little unhappy with the technicians' attitude earlier, but when she heard the term "Jiang Laoshi," she looked up and saw that the technicians all had expressions like they had seen a ghost. Their faces were as pale as a sheet.
"Just one computer is enough. If we need it again, we'll come back," Yang Ling said, taking Jiang Yuan with her as she turned to leave.
The technicians from the Image Investigation Division were stunned for a moment, and someone immediately said, "Don't rush, the images haven't finished processing yet."
"It's okay. We'll send someone over to move the computer later," Yang Ling replied.
"We can leave the computer here, and Jiang Laoshi can work here. It's just a matter of one workstation... Our team's Xiao Yu's coffee is the best..."
"During the fingerprint battle, the experts worked in a centralized office," Yang Ling said without hesitation, pushing open the door and letting Jiang Yuan out without any hesitation.
"It might be too noisy if we put the computer in the office," Jiang Yuan said calmly, walking slowly. At the same time, he made a new request.
If possible, he didn't want to disturb the other fingerprint experts.
Yang Ling nodded as she listened, "Indeed. How about this? The tea room next to the main office is quite spacious. I'll have someone tidy up the printing room inside and put this computer in there. We can move the printer out first, and it won't affect anyone else. It's just that it'll be inconvenient for Jiang Laoshi to go back and forth...""Arranging it this way is the best." Jiang Yuan was quite satisfied. He didn't expect to have a separate office, that would be too detached from the team. He just asked about it for face value, "Is it too much trouble?"
"No, I'll explain it to everyone, and they should all understand." Yang Ling took out her phone and started arranging.
Back in the main office, Jiang Yuan returned to his position and waited for a while. Someone then installed the computer borrowed from the Image Intelligence Division.
Jiang Yuan first went to retrieve the newly processed fingerprint image, then returned to his position and started marking the feature points on the image.
When he couldn't get results, he went back to the pantry to process the image again, then returned to the main office to mark the feature points.
The sound of the computer hummed intermittently. Compared to before, it was less disruptive to everyone and was within an acceptable range.
However, some veteran forensic experts felt a little uneasy about Jiang Yuan's special treatment.
But this thought was just passing through everyone's minds. Originally, there were dozens of technical experts who were not under the same authority. Each person received equally special treatment in their respective units, and Jiang Yuan did not receive special treatment for no reason.
The reason he received special treatment was hanging on the wall.
Three achievements, tied for second place. One of them was even a major breakthrough.
Although the ranking in the fingerprint battle did not particularly distinguish major breakthroughs, detectives still held major breakthroughs in high regard.
Time passed with the sound of mouse clicks and keyboard typing, as well as the roar of the computer. When it was time to leave work, most of the people at the Provincial Department went home on time. However, the detectives borrowed from various places were still busy with their own work.
The fingerprint experts in the main office also had no intention of going back to rest.

The Provincial Department provided everyone with single rooms, but they didn't come all the way to Changyang City just to sleep in a single bed.
Moreover, as of today, at least half of the experts had not matched a single fingerprint yet. The remaining ones had only matched one.
Everyone was naturally dissatisfied with these results. In fact, as long as a few people wanted to cheat, there would be a group of people willing to cheat with them.
Who wasn't an expert!
Even Jiang Yuan had no intention of leaving.
Three achievements were far from satisfying him, especially after becoming familiar with the new skill. Jiang Yuan's confidence was even stronger.At noon, the fingerprint that turned the lake into a puddle had been repeatedly processed by Jiang Yuan, but to no avail. Undaunted, he took another rare fingerprint from the lake and continued processing it.
After repeated attempts, it was already past midnight when a partially damaged fingerprint finally appeared before Jiang Yuan.
"Confirmed as a match."
Without hesitation, Jiang Yuan made a mark, but only a few "ding dong" sounds could be heard in the large office.
Those who were still in the office at this time were the forensic experts who were determined to make a breakthrough. They didn't want their thoughts to be interrupted and weren't too concerned about the achievements of others.
Jiang Yuan took a break for more than ten minutes, drank a cup of tea, and came back to see that there were only two "agrees" in the lower right corner of the screen.
Without worrying about whether others had "confirmed as a match" or hurrying back to rest, Jiang Yuan selected another fingerprint and began operating it.
Just roll them all up, anyway, he was still the youngest among dozens of people.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yuan matched his fifth fingerprint in this fingerprint battle.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yuan matched his sixth fingerprint.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yuan matched his seventh fingerprint.
At this time, the most dedicated expert had already gone back to the dormitory to sleep several hours ago. It was impossible to have 11 experts "agree".
Jiang Yuan looked around and saw that the large office was empty, only the computer in the pantry was still emitting a final scream.
Satisfied, Jiang Yuan returned to the dormitory.
Everything will be revealed tomorrow.
