National Forensic Doctor-Chapter 1196 - 1126: With Charisma

"Captain Jiang, these are the data from our Zhanqiu City."

"Director Jiang, I’ve already connected to our Ping Meng City data center."

"Director Jiang..."

All the cities surrounding the expressway from Luo Jin City to Lanyue City have basically sent people over.

The Luojin City Bureau is providing excellent hospitality, and Director Xu even personally came to visit.

Even if it’s a meeting, Luo Jin City would not normally be able to gather criminal police from several neighboring provinces together.

The key is that usually, the ones attending meetings are often young members from various Criminal Police Teams, but this time, those who took the initiative to come over are key figures from each team, those whose words carry weight.

But most of the words Director Xu hears are still starting with "Jiang."

Director Xu smiles appropriately, maintains a stable disposition, and eventually personally approaches Jiang Yuan to greet him, saying, "Director Jiang, how’s the progress? Is there anything we can help with?"

"You can just call me Jiang Yuan." Jiang Yuan quickly replied, "So far, the progress is smooth. The officers from Image Investigation are currently organizing video files from all sides. We’ve basically been able to track the car. Currently, the car has been seen exiting the expressway at Ping Meng City, but from our judgment, the suspect might have changed cars or plates at the service area before exiting the expressway. We’re waiting for the service area’s surveillance footage."

This is one of the reasons why we must use local image investigation; footage from the expressway is easy to obtain, and the police surveillance footage in the service area is accessible too, but the suspects usually hide in blind spots of the surveillance. At this time, we need local police to visit in person and find other vehicles or building videos.

Jiang Yuan is currently reviewing video from a convenience store.

This video only captures a few seconds of the vehicle passing by slowly, but just these few seconds allowed Jiang Yuan to use image enhancement and at least confirm the presence of three suspects.

Furthermore, considering the position of the convenience store and surrounding surveillance, the location of the monitor’s blind spot where the suspect’s Audi was parked is almost certain.

A group of image investigation officers, without needing a reminder, immediately and skillfully began identifying surrounding vehicles, then started calling the owners one by one.

"Hello, is this Mr... Li? I’m a criminal police officer from the Ping Meng City Bureau. Do you have a Cadillac with a dashcam under your name?"

"Hello..."

Vehicles came and went in the service area, with some just stopping for three minutes due to the shallow boredom and leaving, so not only cars parked at the right angle could capture video, but vehicles in motion, perhaps with a single turn, could also capture footage of the so-called blind spots.

With the cooperation of local police, once the desired video was identified, it could immediately contact the local police station or Criminal Police Team to find witnesses nearby.

Watching everyone making calls and receiving video, a few leaders present had a sense of stepping back thoughtfully.

Coordination was so easy, it really was beyond many people’s imagination, or rather, it was like the ideal scenario in many leaders’ dreams—yes, leaders are people too, with dreams.

Luojin City Bureau’s own chief, Director Xu, watched the entire process, reluctant to leave.

After all, Jiang Yuan and others were busy in the Luo Jin City Image Reconnaissance Brigade, using resources from Luo Jin City. And Director Xu himself had commanded and viewed commands onsite many times, but in recalling prior scenes, he felt that the current scenes were completely different in style.

"Jiang Yuan really has a bit of the essence of a national detective," Director Xu pondered, feeling quite emotional.

The head of the Criminal Police Brigade beside him accompanied with a smile, "He’s quite capable of everything. Forensic doctors who understand trace inspection are common, but it’s rare to find someone who also understands image investigation..."

"I wasn’t talking about that..." Director Xu shook his head, "What’s difficult is that everyone is willing to cooperate with him."

"He can solve cases."

"There are many who can solve cases, of course. The cases Jiang Yuan solves are indeed impressive, but the core is his level of completion. In the cases Jiang Yuan handles, there is rarely need for supplementary investigations at least until the testing stage. He can catch the real culprit..." Director Xu paused, looked again at the busy people, then said, "Go buy some oranges for everyone, get the good ones, the ugly oranges."

"Yes, sir." The brigade leader immediately instructed it down. Director Xu’s tradition, the more satisfied he is, the more he likes to give food, especially fruit, like a grandmother from the countryside.

"Captain Jiang, look at this video!"

An image investigation officer shouted.

Jiang Yuan immediately walked over.

"This is just received from Xiao Peng’s car owner’s dashcam," the image investigation officer said as he played the video.

The car owner was probably parking, and in the few seconds of turning the car around, the scene of the suspect getting out of the Audi was captured.

This time there was no need for image enhancement; it was clear that two people were moving a black bag and then taking down two large boxes.

"So blatant? This bag is a body bag, right?" The image investigation officers were shocked.

Liu Jinghui replied with an "um," saying, "They were probably busy dealing with these two boxes, so they didn’t even have time to dispose of the body and came right over. In this situation, their open manner wouldn’t really matter even if they were seen by others."

"That mental quality is really something."

"It’s probably also due to constraints, otherwise, getting a box... a box wouldn’t work either; you can’t fit a body in a small box, and Zhang Lei’s build is large. You definitely can’t fit into a 28-inch suitcase, even a 34-inch one..." Jiang Yuan estimated roughly.

Liu Jinghui said, "It’s unnecessary, their other two boxes aren’t small either, there should be important items inside, otherwise, they would have split them. Looking at it this way, it doesn’t seem like drugs..."

As he said this, the brows of several people present furrowed.

For some people, it’s like having a bowl of garlic oil sauce already mixed, only to find out it’s neither for hot pot nor even dumplings!

"Drugs indeed aren’t transported like this. Where did they move the stuff to?" A police officer from the Anti-Drug Brigade asked directly.

"They got into a truck. Two of them got in the truck, and another person drove a BMW and followed." The image investigation team adjusted several monitors to capture this scene.

"So, they even switched two cars simultaneously, with a truck driver cooperating?" The anti-drug police looked at Jiang Yuan, saying, "This resource allocation ability is really strong, but it indeed isn’t the typical method of drug traffickers. Nowadays, drug traffickers at least don’t go this deep, nor do they transport drugs this way."

"Then what are they transporting?" Director Xu pressed.

The anti-drug policeman looked at the boxes for a long time and hesitated before saying, "Judging by the form, could it be arms?"

"Firearms?"

"Not necessarily. Short guns wouldn’t require this. It’s at least long guns or explosives that would need special boxes; long guns generally need oiling for proper storage." The anti-drug officer gestured briefly, saying, "In dealing with international cases, sometimes we encounter arms dealers; it feels somewhat similar in style."
