National Forensic Doctor-Chapter 1163 - 1093: Crime Scene Investigation

The ground-penetrating radar brought back by Tang Jia is just a handcart, with the radar main unit placed underneath, a laptop on top, connected by a hard tube in the middle. In terms of appearance, it actually looks less impressive than the movie version of a military mine detector.

But it is already the equipment of the new era. Inside the sturdy box are integrated the transmitting and receiving units, both of which transmit and receive electromagnetic waves. Although the laptop on top is just an ordinary laptop, once the matching software is installed, it can basically synthesize and display the underground situation.

The technician from Ningtai County pushed it around the villa, and all the hidden things underground and within the walls became clearly visible.

For ground-penetrating radar, the outdoor environment poses a slight challenge, while these artificially manufactured homogeneous materials are too easy. In fact, ground-penetrating radar is used in engineering for road defect detection, meaning that no underground concealment is necessary, even a small fissure can be detected.

However, this slightly new equipment is somewhat unfamiliar to ordinary people. So, when the ground-penetrating radar stopped behind Li Yujing, his mind was filled with all sorts of suspicions.

As for technology, he didn’t understand it.

Human nature, he believed he understood it.

Li Yujing strained to turn his head, trying to figure out who was betraying him.

Captain Hao chuckled, leaving Li Yujing here was intended to provoke his emotional fluctuation. Otherwise, this noble son who has inherited a large family business and harbors many unrealistic expectations would be difficult to directly interrogate for results.

Liu Jinghui came up from behind, noticed the situation, glanced twice at Captain Hao without speaking, and silently marked him as "scheming".

Jiang Yuan turned back to look at the laptop on the handcart, then commanded, "Camera, photography, inspection light, after taking traces, smash the wall."

With his orders issued, a team of technicians filed in, began collecting fingerprints and other traces on the wall under the full recording of the camera.

Li Yujing’s luxurious mansion was decorated extravagantly, the walls were covered with wall panels, a material easy for leaving traces. Several technicians joyfully turned on the inspection lights, switching light sources to take photos. After taking photos, they used various static electricity absorbers and footprint extractors to collect any traceable evidence.

This step was carried out only because of Jiang Yuan’s request, because it involved destructive operations, otherwise general trace extraction wouldn’t be so thorough. The workload is too large, and ordinary cases would not afford personnel to this extent, moving equipment alone would tire out the few people involved.

Once all preparatory work was finished, the ground was covered with oilcloth, and a police officer arrived with a sledgehammer and a newly purchased impact drill.

Powe powe powe...

80, 80...

Once everything calmed down, the villa wall had already been smashed into pieces.

Captain Hao and others craned their necks to look over, frowning.

After a while, Captain Hao approached Jiang Yuan and asked, "Can’t find it?"

"Under the wall." Jiang Yuan pointed with his mouth.

The technicians digging the wall didn’t even ask a question, they just lifted the impact drill and continued working.

The positioning of the ground-penetrating radar is extremely accurate, for technicians who know what to look for, there’s essentially no secrets. You just perform standard operations. It’s purely physical labor.

Compared to smashing the wall, digging into the ground takes less time, until a "ding" sounded from below, then two technicians stopped.

As seen by the ground-penetrating radar, below the ground was an iron box embedded entirely in the concrete of the floor, presumably inserted during the decoration.

Everyone looked towards Li Yujing with interest.

Though Li Yujing was already 40 years old, his complexion had deteriorated to the point of looking aged. At this moment, you couldn’t even tell if his emotions were getting worse, very bad, terribly bad, extremely bad, or outrageously bad...

Yet Li Yujing still had some intellect. Whether he had it before is unknown, maybe he acquired some over these years. He snorted twice and said, "I know what you’re trying to do, you’re trying to frame me. You were hired by my brother, weren’t you? That fool is incompetent in doing things, but when it comes to harming others, he’s skilled."

"This is your property, you did the renovations yourself." Captain Hao laughed at Li Yujing, saying, "If you want to talk about being framed, you better find some suitable evidence."

"You don’t have any evidence to prove that I buried it!" Li Yujing was naturally unwilling to admit.

"You really should talk to your lawyer about the burden of proof." Captain Hao paused, then spoke sternly, "This iron box buried underground won’t contain what we suspect it to have, correct?"

He wouldn’t mention specific illegal goods.

Li Yujing was about to answer but stopped, saying, "How would I know what you want? You’re just trying to frame me."

"The mouth of a stubborn duck, indeed." Captain Hao intended to overpower him with momentum.

At this point, Jiang Yuan instructed the technicians, "Camera. I’ll take the fingerprints."

Captain Hao immediately looked at Li Yujing beside him, unsurprised to see his expression change drastically.

Captain Hao felt particularly pleased, Jiang Yuan completely understood the purpose of leaving Li Yujing, and such cooperation was excellent.

Liu Jinghui watched this unfold with pride yet helplessness.

For ordinary people, dragons are powerful and mysterious beings, and a dragon’s every move naturally would cause exclamations among ordinary people or knights.

Captain Hao turned and smiled at Li Yujing, saying, "Let me introduce you, Captain is one of our country’s top forensic trace experts. Did you wear gloves the entire time when burying the box? When buying the box? When transporting the box?"

Li Yujing was completely speechless.

He wasn’t inherently cautious, remembering to wear gloves at critical moments was an achievement in itself, he hadn’t considered the option of wearing gloves the entire time.

On the other hand, wearing gloves all the time itself would be too strange.

Jiang Yuan bent over the iron box and began extracting fingerprints. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

This box embedded in concrete will certainly have significant fingerprint loss. Even for Jiang Yuan, it required extra care and attention.

"Take him back." Captain Hao thought the demonstration for Li Yujing was enough, and as for what would be found in the box, Li Yujing probably knew better than any of them.

Two criminal police officers escorted Li Yujing away.

Li Yujing, with long hair, shook his head, as if trying to resist, but before he could muster any strength, he was firmly restrained.

The cases handled by the Criminal Police Brigade don’t tend to be many, but dealing with a second-generation individual like Li is quite simple.

Jiang Yuan extracted fingerprints and other traces, then took the iron box to the side, spread out a plastic sheet, and opened it in front of the camera.

In sight, a blue-faced Patek Philippe watch lay quietly inside.

...

Lanyue City Criminal Police Team.

A young team member was "tap tap tap" typing on the keyboard, continuously adjusting the font size until satisfied, and then he displayed it on the large screen behind him.

"Dai Zhi, does this font and color look okay to you?" The young man asked Dai Mingsheng humbly.

"Make it a size larger, move it towards the center." Dai Mingsheng nodded.

The young man smiled slightly and placed the pre-prepared final format onto it—the large characters "Li Yaoji Murder Case Breakthrough Meeting" appeared in bold font on the conference room’s projection screen.

Dai Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction, then turned to his subordinates and said, "The importance of the Li Yaoji murder case doesn’t need my explanation. Next, after Jiang Yuan and his team have completed the preliminary preparations, we will first hold a site meeting to jointly discuss the resources required, personnel arrangements needed, each team should be notified, and everyone will attend the breakthrough meeting. One is to participate in the case investigation, to brainstorm. Another is for everyone to make a statement!"
