Chapter 583: Chapter 529: Especially Good at Solving Cases

Jiang Yuan looked up at his system page, the skill temporarily +1 for 405 minutes, now still more than 380 minutes left.

This temporary skill +1 function allows temporarily raising a skill by 405 minutes every 24 hours, which could be said to be quite powerful.

However, if faced with enough cases, choosing which skill to temporarily enhance every day can still be quite a head-scratcher. For skills like "Trendy Clothing Taste," Jiang Yuan would find it difficult to even assign it a rank; the queue would be very long.

From this perspective, skills should still be used sparingly.

The remaining 380-plus minutes of footprint identification +1, which equals 380 minutes of temporary Level 6 footprint identification, would be too much of a waste not to use.

Jiang Yuan watched as Cui Xiaohu and Li Haochen walked out the door, coughed twice, and said to Huang Qiangmin, "Now that I’m here, do we have any cases that mainly involve footprints? I can work on a few if possible."

Huang Qiangmin laughed, "There are always cases, you want ones with footprints? What about those fingerprints, the forensic doctor’s techniques?"

"Today, let’s just do footprints, focusing on one thing makes for greater efficiency," Jiang Yuan found a casual reason.

Huang Qiangmin didn’t really care about the reason; he pondered for a moment and said, "Here in Ningtai County, there haven’t been any traditional cases in the past couple of months, just some thefts, and the second team is all over them. Now we just have some old cases and telecom frauds... How about we look for cases from outside? We don’t go in person, just look at the footprints?"

"That works as well, let me choose the cases then. If we’re doing it, let’s just finish the whole case, just doing a footprint identification makes it seem like I’m some kind of specialist." Jiang Yuan cared a lot about his hometown’s development.

He, a person from Jiang Village, born and raised in Jiang Village, surrounded by familiar relatives and friends, naturally hoped that Jiang Village would be well-developed.

Merely being a specialist wasn’t valued highly. Intellectuals are thin-skinned, and by just being polite and saying some nice words, technicians are willing to exert some mental effort.

But completing a full case is different; it constitutes a comprehensive solution, which is considered high-level, domestically and internationally.

Huang Qiangmin immediately understood Jiang Yuan’s intent; even if not, he could still put his own spin on it, and went to make a call with a smile.

Nowadays, no city dares to claim it has an ample police force.

The population of cities in China is too large. If we were to meet the police force standards per ten thousand population as set by developed countries, not a single city in China would meet the criteria.

While Chinese police can work overtime and stay up late on cases, the criminals are also Chinese, and those who are willing to commit crimes professionally also work overtime.

Knowing that Jiang Yuan didn’t intend to tackle a major case, Huang Qiangmin specifically asked for some minor ones.

The effort involved in small cases isn’t necessarily less than in big ones, but the advantage is the lack of pressure to solve them immediately; getting many at once can also play the odds favorably.

Such cases were priced low by Huang Qiangmin, a clear discount offered as a welfare, purely for market development.

Jiang Yuan only waited about twenty or thirty minutes before he had over a dozen case numbers in front of him.

Still using his skills, he immediately opened his laptop and started reading in the backend.

All the cases were from Jianjiang City.

Jianjiang City is adjacent to Qinghe City, and has quite a few interactions with Qinghe; for instance, the reservoir corpse sinking case, where the murderer ended up living in a small township under Jianjiang City.

Jiang Yuan hadn’t really worked on cases from Jianjiang City before, but now, flipping through the cases, he first focused on the footprint evidence.

There were plenty of footprints; this was good.

He flipped back to look at the case, which was about a factory warehouse in Jianjiang City that lost a large number of metal parts.

For such cases, you either follow the money, look at waste-recycling places, or you track the people directly involved.

In Jiang Yuan’s understanding of such cases, the probability of an inside job was quite high.

Outsiders getting into the factory area couldn’t even find the restrooms, let alone stealing heavy metal parts that likely required transportation vehicles. Finding a route with no surveillance would obviously require some homework.

Jiang Yuan thought about it and marked out the heights and weights of the owners of the three footprints.

After completing this task, Jiang Yuan took another photo and directly transferred the information about the recently clarified suspects to the newly created WeChat group.

The WeChat group had been set up by Huang Qiangmin, and apart from Jiang Yuan and Huang Qiangmin, it included a dozen criminal police officers from the Jianjiang City Criminal Police Brigade.

Jiang Yuan wasn’t shy about taking charge, first posting the name of the case, then saying, "Please use this standard to screen the factory workers again, including both current and former employees."

The criminal police officers of Jianjiang City graciously accepted the assignment. They had naturally screened the factory’s internal staff before, but without a target, it all depended on the detectives’ eyesight, and when the first screening didn’t produce results, they fell into passivity.

It was mainly because the factory theft case itself didn’t have high investment; just one team was thrown into it, and as they meandered without finding any clues and time passed with new cases piling up, they could only set it aside.

Having initiated this sweep, Jiang Yuan didn’t wait for their results and proceeded to look at the next case.

Huang Qiangmin hadn’t demanded any major or serious cases this time, so they were all minor ones, which made the work relatively relaxing and pleasant.

While working, Cui Xiaohu and Li Haochen ran back in.

The two had literally run back, still catching their breath slightly as they entered Jiang Yuan’s office.

"Amazing, Captain Jiang!" Cui Xiaohu’s voice was loud, with a bit of a twist, like a keen student answering a question from the teacher—crisp and straightforward. It was like a hardworking tiger from outside who had the strength and a loud call but dared not show any temper.

When Jiang Yuan heard him say that, he knew there was hope and chuckled, "You’ve been learning from TV dramas, haven’t you?"

"You’re truly amazing!" Cui Xiaohu, like a naïve and plain-spoken little tiger, laid on the flattery with all his might, saying, "I sent back the conditions you wrote, and the team circled a list of names. Then we measured the bare height, and while measuring, we actually found such a person. Look at his footprint."

Cui Xiaohu directly brought over a pad for Jiang Yuan to look at.

The picture on the pad showed the freshly made footprint and a photo of the bare foot, followed by a video of a man walking away from the camera.

"It’s definitely this person." After viewing the dynamic video, Jiang Yuan immediately confirmed it.

Gait itself could reveal a great many things.

Cui Xiaohu let out a "whoosh" of relief: "That’s great. The criminal police have already dispatched someone to search, and now it’s a matter of whether they can find compelling evidence. I wanted to come and report to you quickly..."

He had served many experts, but he had never seen anyone at Jiang Yuan’s level.

For Cui Xiaohu, it was an entirely different level. Even if they were just ordinary experts, even if quite formidable, if they were just ordinary, there were plenty hanging around the ministries.

Even among specially invited experts, there were differences in strength. Moreover, in this day and age, the gold content of experts was also in question.

But for someone Cui Xiaohu had never seen before, that level was incredibly impressive. The many times Cui Xiaohu called him "a god" was not only to make Jiang Yuan feel good but also because he genuinely felt that way.

"How did this person evade the first round of screening? Just by wearing lifts?" Jiang Yuan became curious, lifting his cup of light tea and taking a light sip.

Li Haochen, who had come with Cui Xiaohu, took a step forward and fetched the kettle to refill Jiang Yuan’s cup with water.

Cui Xiaohu chuckled twice and said, "It’s quite interesting when you think about it. This guy had lifts not only in his shoes but also in his socks. When measuring his height, the detectives only measured his shoes, including the height of the insoles, but completely overlooked his socks."

"And then?"

"The second round had fewer people being measured, with a group of criminal police watching closely. Someone noticed it. His weight and age and everything matched, except his height was a bit off, and he was already a key suspect. After discovering the error with the bare height, they immediately had him step on his shoe prints, and the forensic examiners immediately recognized the suspicion."

After finishing his explanation in one breath, Cui Xiaohu sighed once more and said, "You’re chasing criminals from a thousand miles away, you’re really a god."

"Hahahaha... Special case-solving is indeed Comrade Jiang Yuan’s superpower," Huang Qiangmin entered the office with a light, 44.4-degree smile.
