National Forensic Doctor-Chapter 1167 - 1097: Summary Meeting

"Has the Li Yaoji murder case been solved?" Captain Jian Louyuan of the First Unit asked with difficulty.

When the truth is revealed, no matter how ugly it is, and no matter how much the detectives don’t want to accept it, they ultimately have to. It’s the fate of being a detective, both painful and a source of pride.

This is the moment of truth being revealed.

The other captains also stood up, and many of the detectives who had spoken earlier couldn’t resist standing up too. On the contrary, a few deputy brigade leaders, slightly older in age, thought for a moment and all looked relieved.

Dai Mingsheng knocked on the table and said, "That’s right. The Li Yaoji murder case, which troubled Lanyue City for over a decade, was solved in less than three days under Jiang Yuan’s leadership. And those three days included apprehending the suspect, gathering evidence, and conducting interrogations."

As soon as he spoke, it was like uncovering an even uglier scar next to the ugly truth.

The stirred captains glanced at each other. It was like modern people traveling back to Wu Dalang’s time, waking up to look in the mirror, then at Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian, knowing what they did was wrong but seemingly seeing nothing out of place.

A detective solving a decade-old murder cold case, especially one that had been reopened multiple times before, could even make jokes afterward, or take a few captains back to play for a few days, and it would be acceptable.

"Ha ha, ha ha ha ha... Captain Jiang is not only awesome but also particularly humorous," Jian Louyuan laughed out loud.

The captain of the Fourth Unit was startled awake by Jian Louyuan’s laughter and suddenly realized, laughing out loud too.

Everyone’s profession is adept at chasing the truth, so everyone knew very well that mostly, this time Dai Zhi played a little trick to prove his own correctness...

So, knowing this truth, how could everyone not know what to do?

Everyone just assumed that they had been played by Jiang Yuan!

Being played is being played; the captains of Lanyue City Criminal Police Team willingly let the expert’s humor spread, which would only increase the reputation of Lanyue City Criminal Police Team and attract more experts to come.

As for detectives, their tempers aren’t very good. The bigger the expert, the more this is the case. Generally speaking, when everyone first meets, a basic level of decency can be maintained, but as the case progresses and the task force doesn’t go smoothly, conflicts become more numerous and prominent.

At the most restless, anxious, and angry time, it’s not just the visiting experts but also the young members in the task force whose tempers won’t be too good. Older detectives with abilities but no positions will have even worse tempers, and there are those who curse the captains directly and harshly.

In such situations, captains or commissars with positions can only bear it, answering with respect for elders or saying, ’It’s my mentor who taught me back then.’ As for the young ones, as long as they have genuinely hot tempers, even at the tensest time of a special case, they can only be given some leeway. Otherwise, why are some people older, capable, but without positions?

As for the misunderstandings caused by some of Dai Mingsheng’s thoughts and actions, the captains pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, why do some people not very old with average abilities still have positions?

Everyone needs to see through the appearance to the essence and understand the reasons why Dai Zhi does this.

Dai Mingsheng has been a team leader for more than ten years, longer than some people’s policing careers, so naturally, Dai Zhi does no wrong.

Amid silent laughter, everyone gradually completed a self-reconciliation, and the whole meeting room echoed with hearty laughter.

"Ha, the Li Yaoji murder case has been solved, great."

"Haha, I really want to know the specific process of investigation."

"Hahaha, Dai Zhi is decisive! Ningtai Jiangyuan, fierce and well-renowned, indeed well-renowned..."

Listening to everyone’s statements, Dai Mingsheng nodded in satisfaction, thinking that the atmosphere of the team was now correct.

Dai Mingsheng also stood up amidst everyone’s praise, pressed his hands gently, and said, "Everyone’s analysis has just been mentioned. Next, let’s have Captain Jiang talk about the actual process of solving the case, discuss his real thoughts, and real methods in the investigation process, hoping some can learn from it."

Dai Mingsheng handed the microphone to Jiang Yuan, then loudly commanded, "Change the words on this resolution meeting site, to ’Li Yaoji Murder Case Resolution Summary Meeting,’ let’s hold one meeting as two!"

"Yes." The promotional police officer immediately got busy, feeling even a bit excited inside, already starting to draft the upcoming promotional statement—Lanyue City Criminal Police Team solves an old major case, transforming resolution site meeting into resolution summary meeting!

Jiang Yuan took the microphone, pondered for a moment with just a little emotional intelligence, and said, "I’ll just talk about our investigation process."

Thus, Jiang Yuan spoke without any emotion, without any embellishment, recounting his investigation process once.

At first, Jiang Yuan talked about how he selected cases based on "whether the technology could be realized."

Below, some detectives couldn’t help but show a slight dismissive expression.

Turning the results of hard work into what used to be a casual decision is the favorite persona of successful people. As if nothing special is needed, they can turn ordinary opportunities encountered by ordinary people daily into astounding achievements.

What kind of people haven’t detectives seen? They just assumed Jiang Yuan was bragging. Of course, they let him brag. As far as criminal investigation goes, Jiang Yuan could indeed be considered successful.

After laying the groundwork simply, Jiang Yuan began to describe his "technical realization route."

Hearing it sounds quite simple; it was nothing more than recognizing all footprints and fingerprints in the room, then using the location and direction of these prints—especially the weight of the footprints—to recreate the crime scene...

To put it more plainly, it was just determining who entered the door by looking at footprints and fingerprints, how they walked in, where they placed their hands, then also deducing the order of entry, and even who interacted with whom.

Hearing this, the detectives of Lanyue City Criminal Police Team were a bit speechless.

If it were a different setting, such as a simple Li Yaoji murder case resolution site meeting, the detectives would directly ask—are you rehearsing boasting here?

Most people wouldn’t dare to brag that much; bragging too much, nobody believes it.

However, look at the projection screen at the front; it’s no longer a "Li Yaoji Murder Case Resolution Site Meeting," but a "Li Yaoji Murder Case Resolution Summary Meeting."

The case was solved just like that, what of it?

"Clap clap clap..."

People spontaneously began applauding, as if without it, they couldn’t comfort their young hearts.

Jiang Yuan naturally felt the strong, familiar, supportive atmosphere.

In other provinces and cities, especially those with more cases, he received similar responses.

So, Jiang Yuan felt very comfortable.

Feeling comfortable, he spoke more, gradually really starting to summarize.

"This type of case involving footprints, since suspects generally lack knowledge about footprints, can often provide a lot of information, which has been a key focus of my work lately..." Jiang Yuan easily described.

At this moment, the emotions below suddenly became more intense and genuine.
