You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 17 Head-to-Head! (Please add to your favorites and read on.)
"This……"

He Jinbo had lost his ability to speak. He looked at the map on the screen, where the area northeast of the cross had been circled in red.

Clearly, this is the scope of the investigation that Yang Jinwen identified as the area to be investigated.

He Jingdong swallowed hard and muttered, "This place is so big, there are probably several thousand households. It will take several days to investigate. We don't have enough manpower, so we may have to rely on the city bureau."

Unlike him, Lu Shaohua's eyes shone brightly. He wasn't good at solving cases, but he loved looking at maps when fighting!
As a veteran who had retired from the battlefield, Yang Jinwen's analysis and tactics were somewhat like attacking a hilltop.

He immediately slammed his hand on the table: "I'll go get reinforcements!"

Yang Jinwen shook his head: "Director Lu, we don't need that many people. This morning, I talked to Captain He and Captain Zheng about the murderer's several distinctive features."

First, the murderer committed the murder, dismembered the body, and disposed of the body within nine hours, traveling to three different locations. Although his motive is unclear, I speculate that the murderer most likely wanted the victim's internal organs.

This person may suffer from a serious mental illness, but we will leave aside for now what he intends to do with these things.

Secondly, the murderer had a vehicle that could carry people, which I speculate to be a motorcycle.

If it were a car, he wouldn't need to kill the person at the crime scene and then take the body away; he could just take the living person away.

Third, the technical team collected blood footprints from the scene. Through analysis of the footprints' arch length and gait, the perpetrator was estimated to be between 163 and 165 cm tall and of slender build, weighing no more than 55 kg.

In this way, we only need to search within this area for criminal suspects who suffer from mental illness, own a motorcycle, and meet the height and weight requirements!

After speaking, Yang Jinwen took the bottled water Wen Ling handed him and nodded, "Thank you."

After he finished drinking the water, he looked up and saw everyone in the meeting staring at him in disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Yang Jinwen blinked.

Wen Ling leaned close to his ear and reminded him, "You scared them."

Yang Jinwen swallowed hard and looked at Lu Shaohua, who was sitting at the head of the table, and Zhang Bin, the captain who hadn't spoken yet: "Director Lu, Captain Zhang, is there a problem with my analysis?"

Lu Shaohua shook his head and looked at Zhang Bin: "Do you have a problem?"

Zhang Bin also shook his head: "I'm fine with it."

“I have a question!” He Jinbo and Zheng Kang raised their hands together.

He Jinbo looked at Zheng Kang beside the table, signaling him to speak first.

Zheng Kang had been waiting for these words for a long time.

Yang Jinwen's performance was nothing like that of a newly recruited police officer. He not only analyzed things logically, but also demonstrated great skill in commanding police affairs.

However, everyone knows the idiom "armchair strategist".

Zheng Kang is a veteran criminal investigator who seeks a steady and methodical approach to solving cases. Yang Jinwen's thinking jumps too quickly, and he takes too big a step, which not only makes it easy to miss clues but also easily leads to wrongful convictions.

The description of the suspect's height and weight, in particular, is utter nonsense!
Zheng Kang immediately said, "Yang Jinwen, this afternoon, the technical team just returned from collecting footprints at the scene. They didn't even have time to compare them. How did you come to the conclusion about the murderer's height and weight?"

Hearing this, He Jinbo nodded in agreement: "Comrade Yang Jinwen, this is no joke. If we arrest the wrong person, no one can bear the responsibility!"

Facing his master's murderous gaze, Yang Jinwen calmly said, "Before the meeting, I went to the technical team. I compared the murderer's footprints with his." A group of people turned to look at Supervisor Ma of the technical team. This man was in his fifties, wearing tortoiseshell glasses, and had a very composed demeanor.

Seeing so many people looking at him, he immediately sat up straight: "This... the footprint collection, feature analysis, and so on were indeed completed with Xiao Yang's help."

The conclusion drawn after the fact was Xiao Yang's conclusion; our team didn't reach a conclusion!

Even if we take the footprints to the municipal bureau and have experts examine them, it will take several days to get the results..."

The gist of this statement is: don't ask. If you ask me, I don't know. Don't pin the blame on me.

The old hands in the meeting room all knew his character; his art of speaking was unparalleled. If it weren't for the fact that they were investigating a murder case, this old guy might have been rambling on for half an hour, and you wouldn't even know what he was saying.

But his words were tantamount to betraying Yang Jinwen, exonerating himself completely. It's better to have no conclusion than to make a mistake; the more you do, the more tired you get, and the less you say, the less trouble you cause.

A group of people turned to look at the back of the computer. Yang Jinwen straightened his expression and said, "Footprint identification is a very profound subject. I aspired to become a police officer during my university years and have done in-depth research on footprint studies."

I particularly like the TV series "The Search for the Demon," which is based on the life of Mr. Ma Yulin, and I have also studied related literature and books.

[The May 530th Massive Murder Case] ​​Based on the footprints at the crime scene, I can guarantee my conclusion is correct!

He Jinbo immediately retorted, "Are you kidding me? Even if you take this footprint to the municipal bureau or the provincial department, no expert would dare to pinpoint the murderer's height to this range!"

From 163cm to 165cm, the error is less than 3cm. What does that mean? Do you understand?

Yang Jinwen calmly replied, "I know."

"What do you know?! You can't afford to take responsibility for this case!" Zheng Kang said sternly, "You just started your first day as a police officer, don't you know how to avoid trouble? You're too arrogant!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Shaohua and Zhang Bin: "Director Lu, Zhang Da, I suggest that we ignore the physical characteristics of the murderer for now and directly investigate based on the first two conditions."

"I disagree!" Yang Jinwen stood up and looked directly at Zheng Kang's face: "If we remove the killer's features, we are very likely to miss him during the investigation!"
We've alerted him; he'll definitely run away!
"Once the murderer escapes to another province, we will have no ability to pursue him!"

Regardless of how the meeting went, the final decision always rests with the top leader.

Lu Shaohua was also hesitant. He had arranged for Yang Jinwen to join the police force, after all, he was the son of an old comrade-in-arms and a top student with good qualifications.

Finding the source of the body and locating the crime scene, Yang Jinwen's abilities were remarkable, far beyond what one would expect from a trainee police officer.

His analysis was quite convincing, but since it involved investigating a murder case, Lu Shaohua dared not take his side.

Similarly, he understood that Zheng Kang was also concerned about his apprentice. If the case went astray and the murderer could not be caught, and the case could not be closed, Yang Jinwen's career might be limited to serving tea and water in logistics.

After thinking it over, Lu Shaohua decided to play it safe. Just as he was about to make a decision, Yang Jinwen spoke up first.

"Director Lu, Zhang Da, Captain He, I hope you can consider my suggestion. This is a very important lead in the investigation. If we can't catch the person soon, this murderer will continue to commit crimes!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room widened their eyes, and Zheng Kang was even more furious, staring straight at him.

Yang Jinwen did not avoid anyone's gaze. He knew in his heart that tomorrow was June 3rd, and if the murderer was not caught, the second victim, Jiang Yan, would be in danger!

This murderer is a monster who eats people's hearts and livers!
