Era: Starting from the local police station
Chapter 13: Skills
"Old Chen, what's going on?"
As soon as he stepped through the hanging flower gate, Director Qiao shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Old Joe, don't rush, don't frighten the people who are getting things done."
Seeing this, Instructor Zhang quickly whispered something.
"Oh dear, in my haste I forgot about that."
Director Qiao immediately slapped his forehead.
"Chief, Old Chen is asking questions right now."
Zheng Fang, a household registration police officer in her thirties, was standing at the door of the police reception room.
At the entrance of the household registration office, several people were standing on tiptoe, peering into the police reception room.
Director Qiao slowed down and said in a deep voice, "What are you all doing gathered here? Go back to your posts and do your jobs."
Zheng Fang's expression turned serious, and she turned to the crowd of onlookers and said, "Come in with me, and don't look at what you shouldn't be looking at."
The group immediately changed their expressions and followed Zheng Fang into the household registration office, fearing they might get into trouble.
Jiang Zhenghua instructed Liu Baojia, "You stay at the door and keep watch, don't let anyone near."
Upon hearing this, Liu Baojia immediately responded.
Instructor Zhang nodded silently.
As the three stepped into the police reception room, they saw Chen Shan sitting behind the table.
Beside him stood a thin policeman in his thirties, Qin Weijun, a local police officer, who was taking notes in a notebook.
In front of the table stood an old man wearing a tattered straw hat, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Director, Instructor, Deputy Director Jiang."
Chen Shan saw the three of them enter and immediately stood up.
Just as Qin Weijun was about to get up, Director Qiao waved his hand and told him to skip it.
"Did you find out? What's going on?"
Chen Shan said loudly, "Reporting to the station chief, the person who reported this is an elderly man named Ma Fushan. According to him, he just found a body in a pile of garbage while cleaning Beijianzi Alley."
The expressions of Jiang Zhenghua and the other two changed simultaneously.
Director Qiao immediately looked at the old man: "Uncle Ma, do you know that person?"
"I don't know him."
Grandpa Ma's face was deathly pale, and his hands were clenched tightly, clearly indicating that he was also quite frightened.
Jiang Zhenghua stepped forward, took out a cigarette and handed it to him, saying softly, "Uncle Ma, have a smoke. Don't be afraid. You're at the police station now, you're safe."
"Thanks."
The old man first vigorously wiped his blackened hands on his tattered blue jacket before shakily reaching out to take the cigarette.
Jiang Zhenghua took out a match, lit it with a "snap," and cupped his hands together to light it for the old man.
The old man took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke forcefully, and then his body suddenly relaxed.
"Officer, to be honest, I didn't dare to look closely at the man's face. As soon as I found the body, I... I ran here to report it."
At the end, the old man lowered his head again.
Jiang Zhenghua nodded: "It's alright, you can take us there in a bit, okay?"
"become."
The old man nodded emphatically.
Director Qiao watched Jiang Zhenghua's every move, nodded in satisfaction, and loudly ordered: "Chen Shan, Qin Weijun, you two take Liu Baojia and prepare the tools immediately, then follow Instructor Zhang and Deputy Director Jiang to the scene."
"Yes."
After saying that, the two immediately turned around and strode outside.
Chief Qiao turned to Instructor Zhang: "Old Zhang, you and Zheng Hua take some men over there first and secure the scene. I'll contact the branch office's investigation section immediately and then head over."
"become."
Instructor Zhang agreed.
Jiang Zhenghua asked in a low voice, "Uncle Ma, do you usually go to clean that street at this time?"
As he spoke, he raised his wrist and saw that it was 9:18 a.m.
Grandpa Ma exhaled a puff of smoke: "Sigh... It's not usually like that. I had a bit of a fever last night, so I got up a little late this morning. Usually, I'd be cleaning that spot by six in the morning."
Jiang Zhenghua nodded slightly: "So, this body must be from last night?"
Grandpa Ma nodded repeatedly: "Of course! I cleaned it yesterday morning and even checked it again. It was spotless then, there was nothing there."
Jiang Zhenghua nodded: "Please take us to see it."
Grandpa Ma nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go."
The four men walked out of the reception room, and Chief Qiao quickly walked towards the backyard.
Chen Shan and his apprentice, along with Qin Weijun and his two companions, carried items and walked towards the carport.
Instructor Zhang said, "Baijianzi Alley isn't far. We'll walk there, and Qin Weijun and the others can ride their three-wheeled motorcycles and pull the goods over."
"Let's go then."
As Jiang Zhenghua walked out of the police station courtyard, he thought to himself, "What kind of luck do I have? I just started working and I've already encountered a murder case."
He suddenly thought of the system, looked around, and saw Instructor Zhang and Grandpa Ma hurrying along with their heads down. He silently said to himself, "System."
The system interface suddenly appeared before my eyes.
He immediately focused his mental energy and tapped the spinning wheel icon. The screen rotated, and a spinning wheel appeared on the screen.
The large spinning wheel is divided into eighteen sections, each labeled with various phrases: Fingerprint Extraction Technique (Beginner), Interrogation Skills (Level 1), Special Items, 10 Jin of Grain, 5 Jin of Eggs, Upgrade Card, Thank You for Your Patronage, etc.
Jiang Zhenghua's eyes widened, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.
Suppressing my excitement, I immediately clicked the central lottery button, and the red pointer began to spin rapidly.
[Ding! Host has used one lottery draw attempt and won Level 1 Criminal Scene Investigation Technology. Accept now?]
Jiang Zhenghua hesitated for a moment, afraid that something might go wrong when he accepted the offer and that the people around him would notice.
Suddenly, he noticed a question mark next to him and focused his mental energy on it.
The screen displayed the following text: 【Skill Card Usage Precautions: Skill cards utilize advanced storage technology and cause no discomfort when used alone. However, do not use multiple cards simultaneously, as this may cause dizziness in those with weaker constitutions.】
Surprisingly, this system is quite user-friendly; it even comes with instructions.
Jiang Zhenghua closed the text message and clicked the receive button.
Instantly, he felt a faint electric shock under his scalp, followed by a surge of insights into crime scene investigation, as if he were born with these abilities.
He felt relieved after shutting down the system.
"Uncle Ma, do you always clean that alley?"
"Yes, I've always been the one cleaning."
As he spoke, Grandpa Ma sighed softly, "Back in 1943, my family suffered the ravages of war. My daughter-in-law was violated by the Japanese soldiers and, unable to bear the humiliation, hanged herself; my son resisted and was persecuted. Only I, an old man, am left, barely clinging to life."
Jiang Zhenghua's heart skipped a beat: "I'm sorry, I..."
The old man waved his hand, forcing a wry smile: "I've heard about your case-handling procedures to some extent. Besides, I've gotten used to it over the years."
Upon hearing this, not only Jiang Zhenghua, but even Instructor Zhang, who had remained silent until now, changed his expression.
Jiang Zhenghua looked at the old man with some pity.
What have you gotten used to?
It's just tearing open that scar again and again, until you talk about it so much that you become numb to the pain.
Grandpa Ma stubbed out his cigarette with his fingers, held the butt in his hand, and said slowly, "There are two types of sanitation workers around here. One type is like me, who receive special treatment from the government and are assigned to clean specific streets. They receive a monthly subsidy and are managed by the sanitation workers from the street office. The other type is the volunteer sanitation team, which consists of activists, so the members are usually not fixed."
"Rat-a-tat-tat..."
The sound of a motorcycle engine came from behind.
The three turned around. Qin Weijun was riding a bicycle, Chen Shan was sitting behind him, and Liu Baojia was sitting in the side pocket, holding a large bag in his arms.
Grandpa Ma said loudly, "Turn right at the alley ahead, and you'll see the garbage heap. It's right there."
Instructor Zhang shouted at the top of his lungs, "You all go over there first and cordon off the area!"
Qin Weijun responded loudly, then turned on the accelerator, and the three-wheeled vehicle sped forward.
Instructor Zhang leaned close to Jiang Zhenghua's ear and whispered, "Geng Jianwu took half a day off today to go to the hospital, so he's not here."
Jiang Zhenghua nodded.
As the three of them turned the corner, they saw a large group of women ahead, standing on tiptoe to peer inside, whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
A group of teenagers were running around wildly nearby.
"Old Wang, you're well-informed, do you know what's going on?"
"Sigh... I just got here too. I heard people died inside, it's horrible."
"Oh dear, Aunt Wang, do you know who it is? Male or female?"
"It's a man. Sigh...this is another family's world collapsing. I just wonder whose family it is?"
"Oh, so you didn't know either. Then what are you sighing about?"
Seeing that the crowd was completely blocking the way, Jiang Zhenghua shouted loudly, "Make way, the police are conducting a case."
Instructor Zhang shouted sternly, "What are you looking at? Get out of the way! Do you want to come back to the station with me to give a statement?"
When the crowd saw that it was the police officers, they stirred briefly before quickly parting to make way for them.
