1995, Starting as a Criminal Investigation Expert

Li Shu quickly glanced at Han Jianjun.

That should have been reported by Han Jianjun.

Li Shu quickly said, "Director Tang, this is a case that Captain Tian mentioned to me when I gave a lecture at the Tingyang branch last time. I thought I'd give it a try, and I was lucky enough to actually match it."

Tang Weidong said, "What do you mean by good luck? Once is luck, twice is still luck?"

"You little brat, don't be modest in front of me. Do you know that Director Liu from Yanling even called me specifically to ask about you? Your reputation has spread to other places."

Li Shu had no idea that Liu Zhenping had called Tang Weidong, and quickly said that he had to thank Liu Zhenping for solving the case.

He signed his name, which is why this appraisal report was issued.

Tang Weidong laughed and said, "You should thank Director Liu; he really cares about you."

Liu Zhenping called for two reasons: firstly, to inquire about Li Shu's situation, and secondly, because he was worried that the appraisal report might be problematic.

He put it bluntly: if the prosecutor's office has any questions, he can make a phone call and provide a guarantee.

If Liu Zhenping didn't truly value Li Shu, he wouldn't have acted this way.

Li Shu nodded and cautiously asked what he wanted to see him about.

I was thinking of bringing up the job transfer, but with Han Jianjun and Xu Qiang both there, how could I bring it up?

If you tell Han Jianjun in front of him that you want to switch jobs and go to Xu Qiang's side, how awkward will those two feel?

Tang Weidong gestured for Li Shu to sit down, then said, "I've looked into the Tingyang case. It was quite heinous. The fact that it's been solved, regardless of the truth, is ultimately a comfort to the victims."

Li Shu nodded, thinking to himself that it was more than just terrible.

That's absolutely inhuman.

Tang Weidong continued, "The reason I called you here is because I discussed it with Lao Han and Lao Xu. You have a talent for fingerprint comparison and you are capable enough."

"I think the Tingyang case is a good example. In our bureau, we have accumulated quite a few old cases over the years, and some of them have fingerprints."

"We couldn't find the match back then, but now with computers and an expert like you, I think we can definitely give it another try and see if we can solve some cases."

"So, are you confident?"

He smiled and asked in return.

Li Shu quickly glanced at Han Jianjun.

My dad taught me that when your boss asks if you have confidence, it's not a question you should refuse.

That's to give you more responsibility and to train you.

Refusing will only make your superiors think you are incapable of handling important tasks.

"Director Tang, I have confidence."

The key issue is that I was thinking about changing jobs, but once I take on this task, how can I change jobs in such a short time?

There are probably hundreds or even thousands of old cases in the bureau.

"Very good." Tang Weidong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then it's settled. You better do a good job and don't let me down."

After saying that, he told Li Shu to go back first.

Li Shu glanced at Han Jianjun and could only leave first.

After the door closed, Xu Qiang suddenly laughed and said, "Director Tang, did you notice? This kid was really holding it in; he just couldn't get a chance to say anything."

When he made the decision, he mentioned Li Shu's idea of ​​switching to become a criminal police officer.

Han Jianjun snorted: "What do you mean you're bursting with pent-up desire? What are you saying? I haven't had those thoughts for a long time."

Tang Weidong glared at Xu Qiang, who quickly stopped smiling and scolded, "Mind your own business. And let me warn you, if you dare to make a move on Li Shu, see how I deal with you."

As she spoke, she glanced in the direction Li Shu had left: "It would be a waste for this kid to go and run errands for you. Anyway, there's no way this is going to happen, and no one is allowed to mention it."

They said they needed to focus on building up criminal technical capabilities, but having finally found such a talented person in fingerprint identification, Tang Weidong was reluctant to send him to the criminal investigation team, where he was made to work as a gofer.

Xu Qiang shrank his neck.

Tang Weidong had been looking down on him these past few days, so he didn't dare to say a word.

Li Shu was also quite depressed.

Back downstairs, Tan Guoxiong, who was sitting opposite him, leaned over and first asked Tang Weidong why he wanted to see Li Shu, and then asked if Li Shu had told him.

He knew what Li Shu was thinking.

"no."

If Han Jianjun and Xu Qiang hadn't been there, Li Shuzhen would have been prepared to bring it up when the opportunity arose.

Tan Guoxiong said, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Anyway, I think being a technical police officer is pretty good; you can solve cases just the same. Besides, I feel lonely without you."

In Tan Guoxiong's view, technical police can also solve cases.

These two cases, for example, were solved thanks to Li Shu.

Li Shu thought to himself, "They say they're the same, but can they really be the same?"

But now that I've already accepted the assignments, what can I do? Can I just quit?

There's no rush with the old case. Han Jianjun's idea is to let Li Shuxian write the thesis first.

Zhang Lu said he would recommend it; it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that can't be missed.

Over the next few days, Li Shu focused on writing articles.

I wrote three articles in one go.

Li Shu wrote an article on the rapid positioning method.

This article should be of great help to those places that have not yet introduced the AFIS system and are still relying on manual methods.

Then, using the partitioning comparison method, Li Shu wrote a detailed article.

It also cited a case of theft in the High-tech Zone.

The last article introduces methods for creating overlapping fingerprints and piecing together multiple incomplete fingerprints from a live event.

The case of Qiao Suqing was used as an example.

Both cases have been transferred, and some physical evidence can be cited.

After finishing writing it, Han Jianjun reviewed it first, and then it was sent to Zhang Lu.

He helped mail it to Anjing and submitted it to "Criminal Technology".

To my surprise, writing these three papers actually helped me gain a lot of experience points from the system.

The experience in fingerprint identification has now reached 2,300, or one-fifth.

On the 26th, after finishing his thesis and lectures, Li Shu was considering starting to work on old cases when the team received a phone call that afternoon.

There's a case, and I need to go to the scene.

Having experienced it once before, Li Shu was already experienced, so he quickly packed his things and went to the scene with them.

I only realized after getting on the bus that we were going to Donglin.

This is a county-level city under the administration of Nanjiang.

"Captain Han, what case is it?" Peng Rong noticed a large group of people boarding the bus.

Xu Qiang followed.

The last time there was a scene like this was during the September 5th case.

Han Jianjun frowned and said, "Over in Guanlin, municipal workers found a woman's corpse in a manhole during an inspection. It was already highly decomposed."

At this point, he looked at Qin Wenbao sitting in the back.

Everyone turned to look at them.

Qin Wenbao looked up and sighed.

Li Sheng, who was standing next to him, immediately made a bitter face.

Han Jianjun even comforted him, saying it was alright. He said on the phone that there was water in the manhole, and since it had been soaked in water, it should slow down the decay and it wasn't that serious.

"Ha, Lao Han, you really know how to comfort people," Qin Wenbao said with a wry smile.

Either it's not serious, or it looks fresh.

Either it's extremely severe, resulting in complete skeletal decay.

The one in the middle is the most uncomfortable.

Li Shu also felt uneasy.

I've seen cadavers at school.

The body was also seen at the scene of the previous 9.5 case.

But this was a rotting corpse. Thinking back to the photos I'd seen in the textbook, I couldn't help but regret that I shouldn't have been so greedy at lunch and eaten two extra pieces of braised pork.

A large crowd rushed to the scene.

Donglin is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Nanjiang, with a total of 24 towns and 20 townships.

Guanlin Town is located in the northwest of Donglin, on the shore of Ge Lake, and borders Yanling to the north.

This town has a story to tell. Like Yanqiao, it is also a town with an annual output value of over 100 million yuan, and it is famous throughout the country for producing cables.

The area is dotted with factories of all sizes and densely packed with shops, and has a large migrant worker population, making the security situation complex.

More than an hour later, the group arrived at the scene.

The crime scene was located in the northwest of the town, outside the back wall of the Lida Cable Factory near Shengtian Road.

There's a small grove of trees here. Go through the grove and you'll find a gas station across the street.

There are several small factories on the other side.

That's how it is here; the large factory is surrounded by supporting factories.

When they arrived, the scene was already crowded with people, and the side road leading to Shengtian Road had been blocked off.

People from the Donglin City Public Security Bureau had already arrived at the scene and were interviewing onlookers.

Xu Qiang and his team coordinated with Donglin's people, while Li Shu followed Han Jianjun directly into the site.

The highly decomposed corpse had been lying there for who knows how long, and the surrounding area was probably not worth exploring, so the group went directly to the vicinity of the manhole.

It smelled bad even before I got close.

A kind of stench that causes physical discomfort.

Li Shu instinctively held his breath and followed, glancing closer.

I was startled at first glance.

"No, where's her head?"

In broad daylight, it was clearly visible in the manhole that the body was lying on the side, seemingly without clothes.

The key issue is that I can't see the end.
