When the suspect Cui Liang was about to be transferred to the detention center, Jiang Yuan glanced at him from a distance.
Cui Liang, who was wearing ankle shackles, had loose clothes on his body and looked haggard, making him appear pitiful.
If his crimes were not taken into consideration, his current state was indeed pitiful.
At an age when other elderly people were preparing for retirement and enjoying their later years, Cui Liang was going to prison, possibly even facing the death penalty. From a humane perspective, it was truly lacking in humanity.
Before leaving, Cui Liang also noticed Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan was a head taller than the people around him, so it was normal for him to be noticed.
Cui Liang didn't know that Jiang Yuan was the "culprit" who led to his capture. So when he noticed Jiang Yuan staring at him, Cui Liang intentionally made a fierce expression.
He probably wanted to leave a deep impression on this young police officer.
Jiang Yuan speculated about his intentions and mindset... In the field of forensic science, psychology was a typical useless subject.
Forensics also had a specialized subject called forensic psychology, which focused on identifying mental illnesses, among other things. Similar to forensic entomology, it was a profession that was either highly respected or looked down upon.
Jiang Yuan hadn't learned the relevant skills yet, but it didn't hurt to accumulate some experience.
...
Mission: Solve the suspicious case
Mission content: Solve the 405 Xu Hai case
Mission reward: Document inspection (LV3)
...
Jiang Yuan gained a skill, feeling both surprised and delighted.
Document inspection skills were relatively less used in the field of criminal investigation, while they were more commonly used in economic investigations.
However, in Ningtai County, there were no professional document inspectors. Yan Ge could barely authenticate a signature, but when it came to more complex tasks such as examining handwriting or the condition of printed documents, they had to be sent to Changyang City.
Jiang Yuan felt that he was filling a gap in the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Ningtai County...
"Are you going back?" Wang Zhong came out from behind and greeted Jiang Yuan.
"Yes. I'm free today." Jiang Yuan stretched lazily and saw that Wang Zhong had already prepared his things, so he asked, "How are you planning to go back?"
"By bus." Wang Zhong was a rookie police officer and had to save money since he didn't have a prepared marital home or any demolition compensation.
"I'll give you a ride." Jiang Yuan pulled Wang Zhong over.
It was safer to have someone accompany him recently while solving the accumulated cases. It was better to have a forensic expert than to go alone.
Wang Zhong followed Jiang Yuan's footsteps in a daze.
The two of them went to the parking lot and got into the car.
Jiang Yuan drove Wang Zhong back to his residence before heading home.
When he arrived at his doorstep, he smelled a strong fragrance.
"Dad." Jiang Yuan followed the scent and went over.
"You're back? Did the case go smoothly?" Jiang Fu Town's voice came from the kitchen.
"It went smoothly. The suspect had been on the run in the provincial capital for many years and was finally caught." Jiang Yuan entered the kitchen and saw his father wearing a rare LV home outfit, stirring a pot with a large spoon.
Beside the small table in the kitchen, three uncles, Aunt Hua, and five or six other people were eagerly watching the stove, each with a plate of rice in front of them.
Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "[pawread.c𝘰m]"
"Braised abalone rice?" Jiang Yuan immediately recognized it.
Jiang Fu Town nodded and said, "If you didn't come back, it would have been finished by now."
As he spoke, he continued stirring the pot with the spoon, and the thick abalone sauce flowed thickly.
Jiang Yuan skillfully took a plate, scooped rice, and then sat obediently at the table.
"Did you make another achievement?" Aunt Hua gossiped.
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "It's hard to say. Whether or not I can make an achievement depends on many factors."
"This person had been on the run for many years and was caught by you. He must be furious. What do you do?" Uncle San also became curious.
"He might be sentenced to death." Jiang Yuan only mentioned what he could say.
The attention of the people present was immediately drawn to him.
At this moment, even the taste of the abalone seemed to fade away.
Jiang Fu Town suddenly said, "Catching such a person is very dangerous."
"Perhaps." Jiang Yuan said, "I think we should also pay attention to the safety of our home."
He wasn't completely paranoid, but...
"Aren't two dogs enough?" Jiang Fu Town frowned.
Everyone's gaze shifted again and focused on the two Doberman Pinschers.
The Dobermans, slightly larger than Pomeranians, looked silly and cute at the moment. When they noticed everyone's attention, they excitedly ran around.
"Let me tell everyone about the safety of the village. It's good to remind them." Uncle San started sending messages and said, "When we were relocated, the organization was so good. Now we've become complacent. When we go out, people's eyes light up when they hear that we're from Jiang Village..."
The group of people started discussing and making plans.
Jiang Fu Town came over with a bucket and poured abalone sauce for everyone.
The main ingredients of the abalone sauce were actually chicken, pork ribs, pig's feet, and various other ingredients boiled together.
Soaking cooked beef and other ingredients in the abalone sauce made for a very satisfying dish.
Apart from being easy to get tired of, the first meal was definitely a delicious one.
...In the following days, Jiang Yuan continued to sift through the backlog of cases, but he couldn't find a suitable one.
He spent a day on an unsuitable case, but still had no leads.
Unlike current cases, cold cases could only be solved by looking through the case files, which were written by the police officers involved at the time.
Therefore, without significant technological innovation, relying solely on case files made solving cases extremely difficult.
The criminal police team in Ningtai County, on the other hand, felt that the world was gradually returning to normal.
To be honest, it was already a tough task for a team to handle two murder cold cases. The numerous reports that needed to be filled out and the constant requests for additional investigations were overwhelming. So, no one was rushing Jiang Yuan.
Friday.
Lunchtime.
Jiang Yuan was ready to go for lunch early.
At this moment, Huang Qiangming called him, "Are you in the office? Wait for me in the meeting room."
Jiang Yuan didn't ask why, he just went to the meeting room.
Soon, Huang Qiangming arrived with a group of people who were obviously a family.
"Jiang Yuan, these two are the parents of He Jingqin. There are also other relatives."
Huang Qiangming introduced them immediately to avoid any misunderstandings.
Jiang Yuan was taken aback, then he remembered that He Jingqin was the victim of the cold case murder he had just solved.
A 16-year-old girl, who lost all possibilities because of a momentary impulse of a molester.
Jiang Yuan subconsciously didn't want to imagine the victim's current state.
"Forensic Jiang. Thank you." He Jingqin's parents, who looked like intellectuals, had serious and sorrowful expressions.
"Um, no need." Jiang Yuan looked at the two, not knowing what to say.
"If Jingqin knew about this in the afterlife, she would also thank you for clearing her name." He Jingqin's parents spoke with great effort, but their voices were very low.
The police officers, watching this scene, were also at a loss for words.
