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

Chapter 8: New Officers in the Major Crimes Unit!
The next day.

June 2nd, 7:30 AM.

Chengbei Branch.

Because of the case, everyone in the Major Crimes Unit got up very early to avoid being late for the morning meeting and getting caught red-handed by He Jinbo, which would result in criticism.

Zheng Kang carried his thermos upstairs, and his colleagues who came downstairs greeted him.

"Hey, Captain Zheng, I heard you've taken on a great new apprentice?"

"Incompetent, not that good."

"What's wrong?" the colleague laughed. "Your apprentice arrived before dawn and is currently working on the case analysis board in the conference room."

"Huh?" Zheng Kang looked completely bewildered.

My colleague pointed upstairs: "Why don't you go up and see for yourself? Your people from the Major Crimes Unit are all watching."

"What's he thinking about all day long?" Zheng Kang quickly went upstairs.

"What else could it be but wanting to improve?"

Zheng Kang ran upstairs in a few steps. As he passed the blinds, he saw the old guards of the Major Crimes Team gathered in a circle, watching Yang Jinwen write and draw on the whiteboard.

But because he was facing away from Zheng Kang, he couldn't see what the kid was writing.

He opened the door and strode inside.

"Yang Jinwen, have you gone mad? You think a trainee officer like you can use a case analysis board? Erase it right now before Captain He arrives!"

Yang Jinwen turned around, still holding the chalk in her hand, and smiled at him: "Good morning, Master."

"Don't call me master, do you have a big face? You're the captain, aren't you? You're even analyzing cases now? Are you deliberately trying to mess with me..."

Zheng Kang was speaking when he saw the contents of the whiteboard, and his expression froze on his face.

Huang Cuicui's body was dismembered into eleven pieces. Instead of disposing of them in batches, the murderer disposed of the victim's body parts all at once.

However, only three parts of the body were buried in the mud: the head, the left hand, and the chest cavity. The other body parts were simply discarded in the reeds without being buried.

Moreover, the body parts were buried shallowly, not deeply.

The body was disposed of very carelessly!
The first question: Since the murderer dismembered the victim, why didn't he choose to dispose of the body in batches?

The second question: Why did the murderer only bury three parts of the body, and choose to discard the other body parts? Why did they stop burying it halfway?

The third question: Carrying the body of an adult woman is a physically demanding task. Did the murderer bring all the body parts at once, or in batches?
Based on the psychology of typical criminals, the goods would definitely be transported in batches and processed in batches.

But the murderer did not do that. So the most likely scenario is that the murderer transported the victim's body parts all at once and processed them in the same way. How could he carry the body of an adult?
Did the murderer have a vehicle? Was it a car? A motorcycle? Or a bicycle?
The fourth question: The victim's body was subjected to the same treatment by the murderer, but where did the internal organs go? Did the murderer dispose of them at the dismemberment scene, or did they use them for something else?

Fifth question: Why was the ring finger of the victim Huang Cuicui's left hand severed?
The sixth question: Did the murderer follow the principle of throwing the body far away and burying it nearby, by both burying the body and directly discarding the body parts?

Dismembering and disposing of the body was done to conceal the victim's identity. The murderer disposed of the body so simply and casually. Was he not afraid of exposing the victim's identity, or was there another reason?

The seventh question: Why didn't the murderer choose to throw the body parts directly into the Yanzi River?

This approach is simpler and more direct, and the police will have a hard time finding out about it in the short term...

Hearing his master's barrage of instructions, Yang Jinwen could only sigh and pick up the whiteboard eraser from under the whiteboard, preparing to erase the contents of the clue board.

As soon as he reached out, Zheng Kang immediately called out to him, "Don't move!"

"Master, should I wipe it or not?" Yang Jinwen looked aggrieved. "If Captain He sees this, I'll definitely get criticized." "Get lost!" Zheng Kang knew he was making fun of him.

He cleared his throat and looked at the old folks watching: "What are you doing? Watching a show? Go do what you're supposed to do, you're annoying people so early in the morning."

"Ahem... Xiao Yang, keep writing." Zheng Kang tilted his head, gripping the thermos tightly in his hand. "Your handwriting is quite good, you've practiced, haven't you?"

“I used to study at the Children’s Palace,” Yang Jinwen chuckled.

Zheng Kang sat down in the chair, crossed his legs, and stared at Yang Jinwen as he continued to fill in the clue board, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Besides him, the veterans from several major crime squads were also staring at Yang Jinwen, their eyes wide open.

"Is he really new?" someone whispered to their colleague.

"No, you saw it yesterday too, it's the apprentice that Old Zheng just took on."

"Wow, that's incredible! You're telling me he's never been a police officer? I absolutely don't believe it! This talent is simply amazing!"

"Old Zheng has struck gold. This kid has analyzed so many details from just one body disposal scene. He's a natural-born criminal investigator."

"I heard he went to university, served in the army, and is skilled in both academics and martial arts—a true all-rounder! Amazing..."

Hearing these comments, Zheng Kang was not smug. Instead, he frowned and could no longer pretend. He subconsciously stood up and moved closer and closer to Yang Jinwen.

Yang Jinwen was bent over, his handwriting densely covering the entire whiteboard, but there wasn't enough space...

Zheng Kang immediately dragged over the whiteboard that had been put away next to the cabinet: "Here it is, you can continue writing!"

"it is good."

Yang Jinwen didn't waste any more words and continued writing.

In addition to the text, he also marked the specific locations of the dismembered bodies in different parts of the reed marsh, drew a detailed map of the body disposal site, and took out a traffic map of the northern part of An'nan City, which he then attached to the upper right corner with a whiteboard.

Zheng Kang swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "Is it done yet?"

Yang Jinwen shook his head: "Two whiteboards are not enough."

Zheng Kang shouted to the old man behind him, "Hurry up and go to the second team to borrow two more whiteboards."

Four relatively inexperienced criminal police officers immediately ran out of the conference room and happened to run into He Jinbo, who was coming upstairs, on the stairs.

"What are you doing? Why are you in such a panic? Have you caught the murderer?"

"Captain He, hurry to the conference room! Someone has taken your seat!"

"Oh?" He Jinbo chuckled awkwardly, "Old Zheng still wants to be my team leader?"

"It's not him, it's his apprentice, that guy? His name is... Yang Jinwen. This kid is making clue boards, he's filled two big boards and still not satisfied. We're going to the second team to borrow some whiteboards right now."

He Jinbo scratched the back of his head, not understanding what was being said, but the four boys had already run upstairs.

He grinned and strode towards the Major Crimes Unit's meeting room.

Upon seeing the contents of the two whiteboards, He Jinbo appeared even more surprised than Zheng Kang.

In the absence of an autopsy report, Yang Jinwen deduced so much from the scene where the body was dumped, and each of his deductions was insightful and offered clues that could be explored further.

"If you're not the murderer, then who is?" He Jinbo's mind went blank for a moment, and the question resurfaced in his mind.
