Zhong Renlong took Jiang Yuan to a small shop. The shop was a rectangular front room with a row of front rooms. There were several sets of tables and chairs inside, mainly for catering. There were also tables and chairs at the door to attract customers.
Products like this store have several baskets of durians piled outside, and people passing by can tell what they are selling at a glance.
This kind of roadside store looks similar to the street stores in the suburbs of China in the 2000s or the early 10s. The buildings are made of prefabricated panels and are square and square, built in the cheapest way.
I started doing business with minimal investment, and the selling points were all about the food and location.
Zhong Renlong led Jiang Yuan and others to sit down, and then smiled and said: "Durian shops are like this, because they smell, they can't be opened in big shopping malls or hotels."
"It's pretty good." Jiang Yuan was from the county town, and there were many shops like this that he went to before going to college.
Zhong Renlong quickly waved to the boss, asked a few questions, and then went to the stall to select durians himself.
Wang Chuanxing followed curiously, and after a while, he brought back a plate of durian.
"Now I know that when choosing durian, you have to choose one that doesn't open your mouth!" Wang Chuanxing said with annoyance, "I bought the wrong durian before."
"Malaysia produces durian. Everyone is familiar with durian, and of course the requirements are also high." Zhong Renlong said while introducing: "I first took the Musang King and Black Thorn, and this Golden Phoenix durian, which should be rarely seen abroad.
, it tastes a little bit alcoholic and has a rich aroma, please give it a try.”
Everyone was chatting and laughing as they each took durians and started eating them.
When eating durian in Malaysia or Thailand, an intuitive feeling for Chinese people is that the outer layer of the durian meat originally has a thin skin. When you bite it with your teeth, you will feel like you have broken through this extremely thin skin.
This difference is like a particularly fresh cherry that will have a crisp texture, but after being stored for a long time, it will only be sweet and glutinous.
Jiang Yuan was not very interested in durian. He held the durian in one hand and opened a file with the other, and started to read it briefly.
It's actually quite simple for him to solve the case. He just depends on the evidence. As long as the evidence is suitable, he can follow the clues in the forward investigation. In fact, today's criminal police investigations basically follow this model. It's not that the sophisticated detective skills don't like it.
, it is a forward investigation that is less prone to errors.
In contrast, reasoning has too high requirements for cases, especially detective novels in the early years, which often analyze the words of witnesses or suspects word for word. It is pitiful that modern people sometimes do not tell the truth.
, and the interrogation transcript... at least it is not recorded word for word, but a restatement of the interrogator's language by the interrogating police based on their own abilities...
All I can say is that the Chinese language is broad and profound, and since it was born to speak in small ways and express great righteousness, it has its own filters for life.
Of course, the Malaysian case is in Bahasa Malaysia, and the interrogation mode is quite different, but when it comes to using oral confession as the basis for solving the case, the local dog has to shake its head.
"Is this photo of the victim? Was it taken in the forensic autopsy room?" Jiang Yuan briefly read the text and then looked at the photos attached to the file.
Zhong Renlong glanced sideways and nodded: "This is a case of an unknown corpse. The victim was robbed in an alley, and all his valuables and wallet were robbed. In the end, the identity of the body was not determined, so the case ended.
It’s been put on hold.”
Mu Zhiyang, who was eating durian crazily, couldn't help but pause for a moment and said in surprise: "There are still such fierce robbers in the capital?"
Even in Changyang City, such robbers are no longer common. In fact, robberies are rare now, especially in traditional urban centers where surveillance is dense and traditional violent criminals don't like to wander there.
Naturally, Malaysia does not have such monitoring conditions. Zhong Renlong just nodded solemnly: "The situation in some areas of Malaysia is still relatively complicated. Because it is difficult to confirm the identity of the victim and there are no witnesses at the scene, the investigation progress is slow.
"
In fact, it can't be considered slow. Basically, the investigation is not progressing.
Jiang Yuan was not here to evaluate the other party's police execution. He smiled and said: "I haven't looked at this case in detail, but I should be able to draw the face of the deceased. Let's see if you can identify the deceased by his appearance."
identity of?"
The deceased suffered violent treatment during his lifetime. First, his face became swollen, which is commonly known as a bruised nose, and then he was beaten to death.
In this case, the police don’t know what the deceased looked like during his lifetime. When DNA and fingerprint searches are fruitless, the source of the body can theoretically be determined only through forensic anthropology and other methods.
Jiang Yuan said it could be done, and Zhong Renlong was naturally surprised and hurriedly said: "It would be great if you can confirm the appearance. What do you want us to do?"
"Let's find some more photos. It's best to take photos of the scene, that is, photos of a short time of death. When we moved into the autopsy room, several hours had passed." Jiang Yuan was going to use forensic sketches.
Problem solved.
He had previously obtained the forensic sketch of LV6 through a mission, which he could use here.
In contrast, Jiang Yuan did not use forensic sketches in China. If a similar case happened in China, first of all, the probability of matching DNA and fingerprints would be much greater. Secondly, even if the surveillance could not capture the scene, it would be impossible to capture the scene.
If you look back with the help of a photo detective, you will most likely be able to find a photo of the victim.
In other words, only in backlogged cases or corpse dumping cases, the source of the corpse cannot be confirmed, and when the corpse has reached this level, forensic sketches will no longer work, and the problem can only be solved by forensic anthropology - the difference between the two
The difference is that forensic sketching can deal with refrigerated corpses, but if it enters a state of decay, it can only boil the bones.
On the other hand, forensic sketching is similar to skull reconstruction. It is also a criminal investigation art. It has high requirements on users and a very narrow scope of use. At the same time, it is eroded by various high-tech means. Not only are there more and more people who master this technology,
The fewer people there are, the fewer people are willing to invest time and energy in improving this technology.
Malaysia either does not have the corresponding talent pool, or it is too busy.
In fact, China trained a group of such talents in the early years, but after the year 2000, this technology was rarely heard of.
Zhong Renlong hurriedly followed Jiang Yuan's request to find photos. This time he brought out a few files, which only contained limited information.
Jiang Yuan then took another piece of durian and tasted it carefully, but he couldn't taste any obvious difference. He could only say that they were all delicious, and they would make you feel tired after eating too much.
Half an hour later, Zhong Renlong hurried over with a local policeman and introduced him to Jiang Yuan. It was Kamaruddin, the deputy police chief in charge of the case. He was wearing a police cap with a five-pointed star on his epaulette.
The deputy police chief gave Jiang Yuan a stack of photos, then took out a pad and said, "I also have a video of the scene here, and I can also see part of the image when the deceased was found."
"Turn it out and take a look." Jiang Yuan first told Wang Chuanxing, then wiped his hands and looked at the stack of photos one by one.
At this time, Wang Chuanxing opened the video with the help of deputy police chief Kamaruddin and adjusted to the appearance of the victim.
Jiang Yuan took out a drawing board and a pencil from his bag and sketched lines on the spot.
Jiang Yuan had never demonstrated this skill before, which aroused Wang Chuanxing and others' curiosity. Several people, including Zhong Renlong and the deputy police chief, couldn't help but eat durian and gathered around to watch.
Deputy Sheriff Kamarudin raised his chest and raised his head, looking at Jiang Yuan's drawing board with a little scrutiny. He had a little expectation in his heart, but he was also prepared to be disappointed.
He has also heard about several cases that Jiang Yuan has solved before, but the rumors are just rumors, and the cases will not be solved automatically just because the detective arrives.
As for the detective, Kamaruddin has actually come into contact with a lot of detectives. The Malaysian Police Department has a lot of cooperation with neighboring countries. He has met detectives from many countries and places, and they do not always bring surprises.
Jiang Yuan stroked his pencil without any distractions.
LV6's forensic sketches are not only perfect in terms of sketch realism, but also in forensic science-related techniques.
The first few strokes of Jiang Yuan's pen were just a few lines to a layman, but Jiang Yuan's pen strokes were extremely fast. In just half a minute, the prototype of a human face came out.
One good thing about realistic sketches is that ordinary people can see whether they are good or not, and whether they look like or not. This may be what experts don't like.
But in the field of forensic sketching, resemblance is the core.
As for how difficult it is to draw likeness, ordinary people also have a hard time in their minds.
Soon, everyone stopped eating durian.
On Jiang Yuan's drawing board, a head portrait that was clearer than a photo and fully expressed the features of a human face was clearly visible.
"I haven't investigated the case in depth yet. Let me draw an image of the deceased first. See if you can confirm the source of the body." Jiang Yuan took a few photos with his mobile phone and handed the sketch on the drawing board to the deputy.
Sheriff Kamaruddin.
Kamaruddin quickly bent down and held the sketch paper in his hands.
