Wang Zhong felt a surge of energy throughout his body.

He didn't expect Jiang Yuan to actually find something from the footprints.

Although he was only a level 1 trace detection technician, he had been in the police force for many years and knew very well that if it was really determined that the suspect was 193 centimeters tall, it would be quite easy to find him.

In other words, there was actually a possibility of solving this case.

Just thinking about this, Wang Zhong became excited.

In previous years, Ningtai County would spend one or two months concentrating all their efforts to clear a batch of cases, and the most important one was always the "命桉". However, it was not always guaranteed that they would be able to solve it.

What Jiang Yuan did was just stand by his side for a few minutes.

Although the case had not been solved yet.

Even Wu Junhao didn't know if he could provide a list of suspects, but Wang Zhong believed in Jiang Yuan's analysis from the bottom of his heart.

In Wang Zhong's mind, Jiang Yuan was now the representative authority.

"Shall we continue?" Wang Zhong looked at Jiang Yuan with anticipation.

"Let's wait for Captain Wu." Jiang Yuan shook his head.

If Wu Junhao found a suitable suspect and activated the "命桉积桉", the entire team would be mobilized.

During the initial stage of the team, there would be no time for anything else.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan didn't want to waste time looking at other cases or starting new investigations, as it would only hinder their progress.

Each case had to be solved one by one.

Especially for cases that required writing reports, collecting evidence, and arresting and interrogating suspects, no matter how simple they were, they would still be busy.

Solving the "命桉积桉" together meant that at least one criminal suspect would be punished. In the modern judicial system, it was not an easy decision to execute or imprison a member of society.

Jiang Yuan returned to his office, turned on his computer, and started studying several old cases with footprints.

Surprisingly, although these cases were solved by other means, the footprints used as evidence could still reveal a lot of information.

It should be said that many cases in reality could be solved from multiple angles.

Most criminals, even if they had a certain level of counter-surveillance awareness, could only reach level 1 or level 2. Any trace left behind in front of level 3 forensic technology was dangerous.

From the perspective of footprints: if someone is too tall, they shouldn't commit crimes; if someone is too short, they shouldn't commit crimes; if someone is too fat, they shouldn't commit crimes; if someone is too thin... being too thin is fine; if someone has a disability, they shouldn't commit crimes...

All of these can be seen from footprints.

...

"Bang! Bang!"

The office door was heavily knocked twice.

Jiang Yuan and Wu Jun both looked over, and it was the burly Captain Wu Junhao.

He was accompanied by two muscular men, and the three of them stood together. Wu Junhao blocked the door with his body, and the other two men peeked out from his shoulders, giving the illusion that it was one person with three heads.

Like a three-headed ogre.

"Captain Wu." Jiang Yuan stood up and asked, "Have you thought of a suitable suspect?"

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"I have." Wu Junhao's expression was extremely serious.

The "命桉积桉" had an almost sacred meaning to any police officer.

Wu Jun was also curious and looked over. He didn't know what Jiang Yuan had done earlier.

Someone died so quickly?

Wu Junhao said in a deep voice, "In my notebook, there was a record of a suspect, a resident of Ningtai County, a high school student at County No. 3 Middle School, a member of the basketball team. Two days before the incident, he had a conflict with the victim's son."

"I asked the victim's son who he had recently had unpleasant encounters with, and he provided the information."

"But when we called the suspect, we specifically asked about his height, and he said he was 188 centimeters. His father, who brought him in for questioning, also seemed to match the description."

As Wu Junhao said this, his expression became even more solemn.

This 188 cm suspect, his father was a civil servant in the County Finance Bureau and knew many police officers.

When the father and son came to be questioned, the father was eloquent, and with his height exceeding the 178-185 cm range set by Chen Wenming, they quickly left together.

Thinking of this, Wu Junhao said in a low voice, "This case initially focused on finding someone from the victim's network, and later shifted to investigating burglary or robbery, and then turned into a murder. The victim's son's network was not considered..."

It could be said that this 188 cm teenager only flashed in front of the investigators and did not truly come into their sight.

Wu Junhao looked at Jiang Yuan and asked, "Does this 188 cm height match your judgment?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan shook his head. "It doesn't match."

One of the police officers behind Wu Junhao became anxious. "It's not up to you to decide. Even if he's not 193 cm tall, we still need to question him...""I'm more inclined to believe that the suspect lied about his height," Jiang Yuan calmly interrupted, saying, "He reported his height as 188 cm, but he's actually 193 cm. We can measure this on the spot. Although he can argue that he grew taller later, if he really is 188 cm, it would actually reduce suspicion."

"Good point," Wu Junhao nodded, "Let's go find him now. If his height matches, I'll bring him back."

"Okay," Jiang Yuan affirmed.

Without further ado, Wu Junhao turned and left, calling out, "Gather everyone, let's measure that kid."

Three burly men walked out along the corridor, their departure felt as if thirteen people had left.

Wang Zhong also poked his head out of the office, and after everyone had left, he quietly asked Jiang Yuan, "Have you identified the person?"

"We'll know once we bring him back."

Jiang Yuan returned to his office and called the team leader, Huang Qiangming.

As expected, Huang Qiangming had already received Wu Junhao's report.

"Let Wu measure the person, you come with me to report to the director," Huang Qiangming was always decisive.

Jiang Yuan was slightly surprised and asked, "Shouldn't we wait until we bring the person back before reporting?"

"The kid's father is a government official, and he's been promoted in recent years. We should inform the director in advance," Huang Qiangming's mouth was drawn into a 180° line, looking fierce.

The intensity of the case was different, it was a matter of life and death, and it couldn't be taken too seriously.

Jiang Yuan quickly prepared for the meeting with the leader: drinking water, going to the bathroom, and tidying up his clothes.

Finally, Jiang Yuan, neatly dressed, went to the team leader's office first, and then they went to the director's office together.

In the not-so-large office, the director looked at the case file and was silent for two or three minutes.

"We should be able to find out soon, right?" The director put down the file and spoke with a serious expression.

"Hmm," Huang Qiangming grunted, and looked at Jiang Yuan with the director, "If the suspect's height really is 193 cm, we should re-examine his case and consider him a major suspect."

"We don't need to be so strict with 193 cm, even 190 cm is beyond his claimed 188 cm."

The director sat in his chair, his face calm, and continued, "The key is the case! The suspect's father, and his family relations, don't need to be considered too much."

"Okay, understood!"

Huang Qiangming knew this would be the outcome, but hearing it from the director himself still reassured him.

"Let's wait together then. You two sit on the sofa for a while, Wu Junhao should be arriving soon."

The director's expression changed from serious to calm to gentle, indicating for the two to sit down, and he opened the file to read carefully.

Jiang Yuan and Huang Qiangming exchanged a glance, and Huang Qiangming made a 33.3-degree mouth shape at him, indicating for him to relax.

Jiang Yuan then leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

Huang Qiangming breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the young people nowadays were too casual, if they really took out their phones and started watching videos, it would be awkward.

Before long, Huang Qiangming's phone rang.

Huang Qiangming stood up, immediately answered, and put it on speaker, "Captain Wu, I'm in the director's office, you can report directly."

"Yes," Wu Junhao responded, then organized his words, "I've measured the suspect's height, it's exactly 193 cm."

"Bring him back, collect evidence on the spot, I'll call the prosecutor's office." Huang Qiangming's face was full of excitement!

At least up to this point, everything was going smoothly.

Finding the murderer for the victim and clearing the injustice is the duty of the police.

Moreover, solving a case would greatly boost this year's performance!

The director also sat up straight, nodded satisfactorily at Jiang Yuan, and said to Huang Qiangming, "Set up a special task force immediately, and solidify the case."
