The gathering dark clouds squeezed their position desperately, but they could only spin around the edge.
Some gray dark clouds kept throwing themselves at the red clouds, and then some of them were taken away, and then they retreated dejectedly.
Sometimes, some gray clouds will be spit out by the red clouds, floating wiltedly beside the large dark clouds, unable to blend in, unable to separate, and themselves weak.
Tao Lu blew out a big mouthful of smoke, as if he wanted to help the dark clouds, and his whole body was full of discomfort.
Huang Qiangmin was tired and sighed and said, "Tao Zhi, why don't you go back to the office and rest first? I'll call you when the results are obtained."
"I won't be able to rest well when I go back, so I might as well stay here." Tao Lu didn't want to leave. He was waiting for the results of Jiang Yuan's case selection. If he left now, what would happen if Jiang Yuan also got off work?
Huang Qiangmin made another cup of tea for Tao Lu, took a sip of water himself, and then said, "Jiang Yuan is serious. When he was in Ningtai, do you know how he picked cases?"
"How to choose?" Tao Lu was really interested.
"In order." Huang Qiangmin laughed.
"In order?" Tao Lu didn't understand.
"Just take out a stack of files and solve the cases in order." Huang Qiangmin curled his lips and said: "You don't know that at that time, everyone in our county was running around. Arresting people everywhere, the county bureau's procuratorate and
If the courts are too busy, and some jurisdictions can be changed, they will be sent to Qinghe City, etc. The whole city is busy!"
Tao Lu's eyes lit up when he heard this. What kind of fairy policeman is this? He must have come out of CCTV.
Huang Qiangmin continued: "Jiang Yuan is now carefully selecting cases. He is probably afraid that a big case will not be solved, and he is also afraid that the case he picked is not important enough, so he is a little entangled."
When he said this, Tao Lu not only felt comfortable, but even felt a little grateful - Jiang Yuan was really thinking about himself.
Except for him, who would specifically choose such a major case?
Solving a crime is not a TV show. If you take a case but cannot solve it, it will be very troublesome. In fact, the current case system has a lifelong responsibility system. Even when you retire, someone may come to your door with a notebook and ask you about that year.
case situation. And when you think of an important piece of evidence, that's when the assassin is about to arrive.
For ordinary criminal police officers, a murder case is a murder case. The detection of major and serious cases is certainly worth bragging about, but taking the initiative to pursue major cases really requires a big heart.
In fact, those who can solve the backlog of ordinary murder cases are already the elite among the elite.
Tao Lu lit another cigarette, handed another one to Huang Qiangmin, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time, I can wait."
Huang Qiangmin smiled and nodded, and chatted with Tao Lu about romance again. Soon, Cui Qishan, Xiao Si and Li Jiang, who came to the task force to complete the formalities, joined the chat, and the atmosphere in the smoking area became gloomy again.
It was getting dark.
The lights in the office are bright and dazzling.
When Tao Lu was smoking and feeling a little nauseous, he saw a super tall black figure walking out of the office.
Tao Lu immediately poked the cigarette butt deep into the flowerpot.
"Tao Zhi." Jiang Yuan called politely, and then said: "I picked a case, you have a look."
Tao Lu naturally took the file, calmed down, and couldn't help but smile. At this point, he was actually a little worried about gains and losses. He was a criminal investigation detachment who would make mistakes whenever he did something, and his heart would stop when he heard the phone ring in the middle of the night.
Long, really whoever wants to do it can do it.
After doing this for a while to mentally build up his mind, Tao Lu took a closer look at the file.
Although it was said to be a major case, Tao Lu was still shocked by the contents of the file: "The case of corpses rotting in the rain?"
As we all know, crimes on rainy days are more difficult to investigate. There are several key points here. For example, evidence is easily washed away by rain, and the efficiency of cameras and other equipment will also be reduced. In addition, when it rains, there are relatively fewer pedestrians.
The visibility is also poor, making it difficult to find witnesses.
This principle is basically understood by anyone who has studied a little bit of criminology. Cases such as the Rainy Night Butcher in Hong Kong were all carried out under the cover of rainy days.
Naturally, there are always some criminals who choose similar methods to commit crimes because they think they have a plan. But among them, there are actually not many who can accumulate a backlog of cases.
"The Case of Corpses in the Rain" is one of them.
When the victim of the case was found, he was located next to a deserted path. The path led to an abandoned quarry. Nowadays, few cars and people passed by it. It was the nearby villagers who occasionally passed by and smelled the stench. Then they went to take a look.
The body of a giant was found.
After the criminal police team arrived, the first thing they noticed was that the area around the body had been carefully cleaned. Based on the forensic identification of the time of death, it was determined that it was raining during the two days when the body was dumped.
But if it were just like this, the case would not be named "in the rain". Instead, in the next more than two months, two similar cases were discovered in succession.
The body was dumped in the wild, and it rained before and after the time of death. The forensic doctors in the capital were very strong, and there was no problem in determining the time of death on a certain day. After the identities of the victims were confirmed one after another, there were similarities: all three of them were traveling with tourists.
Flowing warbler.
The unification of the three cases, coupled with the fact that each corpse and the surrounding areas of the dumped corpses were carefully cleaned, and the victims were all the serial killer's favorite sex workers, made the "raining" time point become more prominent.
.
Knowing how to take advantage of the weather and choose vulnerable victims, this obviously professional murderer will naturally receive special attention.
The murderer's actions also show that his murder was planned and not impulsive.
It is actually very difficult for normal people to have three enemies that they still need to kill after careful consideration.
Therefore, this kind of murderer essentially commits crimes for the purpose of killing, rather than for profit. Such speculation naturally attracted a large number of police personnel from the criminal police detachment. Especially after the third case occurred, Tao Lu not only mobilized his troops, but also
Please use foreign aid from ministries and commissions and other places.
But they failed to solve the case.
Fortunately, after the three cases, no similar cases occurred for more than half a year, which made Tao Lu and others think that the murderer had disappeared.
However, the fourth case reappeared just three years ago. It was also the wandering warbler traveling with tourists, the same dumping of corpses in the wild, the same dumping of corpses on rainy days and the carefully cleaned crime scene...
Then, the murderer went into hiding again.
Tao Lu didn't expect Jiang Yuan to choose this case at all, and couldn't help but said: "It is true that the case you chose is a serious case, but is it too difficult?"
His eyes glanced at Huang Qiangmin. Didn't you say that Jiang Yuan was choosing a serious case that was easy to detect and valuable? How did it become such a difficult case?
Huang Qiangmin could understand Tao Lu's eyes, coughed twice, and first used his words to argue: "Let's just say, among the serious cases in the backlog, are any of them easy to detect? They are all serious cases that have not been solved, and it is not necessarily possible.
Big cases are more difficult than small cases, right..."
"The resources invested in major cases may be a hundred or a thousand times that of small cases!" Tao Lu said: "The case of rotting corpses in the rain was also reviewed by heavyweight technical experts from ministries and commissions. If it is true..."
"How long have the technical experts been watching?" Jiang Yuan did not ask who it was, nor did he wait for Tao Lu to finish speaking, but interrupted him slightly impolitely.
Tao Lu was a little surprised. He recalled it and said, "I must have watched it for more than an hour, and then gave us more than an hour of technical analysis."
"More than an hour is just enough to read the dossier and photos. If you look at the photos for a longer time, you will have to skip through the dossier." Jiang Yuan is too familiar with the working mode of technical experts, because he
This is how we work. Most of the cases that come to us, if we can invest more than an hour, it is already a great honor.
Technical experts provide appropriate technical guidance or counseling based on existing conditions. This is similar to a teacher giving a lecture to a student. It focuses on inspiration and support. It is impossible for them to directly help you solve the case - this service can only be provided by Huang Qiangmin.
formula.
Therefore, technical experts must be their own. Even if they are at a lower level, the work they do in a few hours or days is not necessarily worse than that of technical experts. Of course, if you are hard enough, you can get
With the guidance of high-level technical experts, the results will definitely be better.
Jiang Yuan's rank is already high enough, and may even be better than the technical experts Tao Lu found.
However, most people have not yet clearly understood this.
Tao Lu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's up to you to decide the agreed case, so of course it's still up to you. Well...did you see something?"
"I'm still suspicious for the moment, but..." Jiang Yuan took the file, paused, and said: "The third case is most likely a copycat crime!"
"Imitate? How..." Tao Lu was shocked. The amount of information in this was too great.
You don’t have to be a serial killer to know that to commit imitation crimes, you first have to know the details and methods of the person being imitated. However, domestic and foreign countries are different. Cases of serial killers like this will not be solved before or even after they are solved.
The situation will definitely be announced to the outside world, and the announcement will be about general matters and will rarely involve details.
So, if the third case was a copycat crime, how did the murderer learn the details?
Tao Lu was horrified when he thought about it!
Thinking further, if the third case is a copycat crime, what is the fourth case?
Jiang Yuan opened the file directly at this time and said: "Many details of the third case were in place. When I first read it, I didn't immediately notice the difference. However, when I saw the autopsy photos, the two murderers
The difference is huge. Although both daggers are used, the weight and shape of the daggers, the state and hardness of the blade are different, and the way the user applies force is even more different. In this way, even if the stabbing position is similar, it can still be stabbed
Identify that the murderer is not the same person."
Jiang Yuan's trace tool identification level has reached LV6. When used at a crime scene, it can be seen what kind of tools and methods were used to create various traces. This skill is currently mainly mastered by trace inspectors.
.
In the forensic pathology mastered by forensic doctors, although it is also necessary to infer the tool that caused the injury, this alone is not as good as the identification of trace tools.
In fact, Jiang Yuan's forensic pathology has reached level 4, and he can still be called a technical expert even in the capital city.
Tao Lu didn't understand technology, but he understood what Jiang Yuan said, thought for a moment, and asked the last question: "Could they be an accomplice?"
"It's not ruled out, but it's not like that. Moreover, the same murder weapon and technique were used in the fourth case, which is quite special." Jiang Yuan moved his slightly stiff neck and said, "I think this discovery is enough to restart the process.
The case is over.”
Tao Lu nodded confusedly and was shocked.
Huang Qiangmin's mouth couldn't help but reveal a 66.6-degree smile. What he likes to see most now is the captains of criminal police from other cities looking at his Jiangyuan in shock and stupidity.
"As expected of a big city, the cases are more fancy than those in our small county." Huang Qiangmin kept smiling.
