CHAPTER 1274: CHAPTER 1201 TEACHING

In the interrogation room, Chen Yueran poured out his multiple crimes like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

While he was in the police car, he could hardly resist the urge to confess, but the Bald Strike Team member escorting him pressed him down. So, in the interrogation room, Chen Yueran confessed even more quickly and thoroughly...

He was truly afraid of being charged with some strange crime.

His natural vigilance led Chen Yueran to extend his sentence from probation to three years—he habitually took advantage of situations, and stealing from the Sunshine Supermarket wasn’t his first time. He wasn’t scheming, just observant in his daily life, and during an idle night with a woman, he acted on a whim.

Chen Yueran didn’t even seriously select items; he just moved a whole box of goods because his supermarket could easily sell the stolen items. Since he could sell them for a price, he treated it as stocking inventory.

Throughout the interrogation, Chen Yueran used words like "casually," "couldn’t help it," and "didn’t realize" to explain himself a lot.

But the police officer in charge of the interrogation wasn’t very concerned about these.

The teaching tool’s educational task was completed. Whatever it said or did afterwards didn’t mean much anymore.

At the auditorium.

Jiang Yuan presented the data retrieved from the current case to everyone, then reviewed the investigative process step by step.

This was a very detailed process and something that, after leaving the police academy, very few people would get to experience. The reality is that police are so busy they can’t solve every case, let alone all cases. Being able to solve all the cases assigned by leaders and various major cases is already a sign of excellence.

In past times when murder cases had to be solved, many unsolved murder cases were simply left alone.

As for now, a corpse without obvious signs of murder often can’t become a case. The Taihe Working Group was formed, and the reason for the multi-party response was not just because of Jiang Yuan’s reputation—river corpses are truly the type of cases the police dislike most.

The auditorium was packed with two to three hundred people, like a large lecture hall.

Many came to listen, some from related units, some who came because they had heard of it, and some looking to network.

And on the side of Jiang Yuan and Huang Qiangmin, they welcomed everyone with open arms.

The Qinghe City Bureau usually conducts larger-scale training sessions than this. It’s just that in the county bureau, as the frontline, training is less frequent. Most of the time, they are being trained, but with Jiang Yuan’s added value, the reason is more than sufficient.

Not to mention anything else, even Jiang Yuan’s first-class honors are enough to serve as a reason for setting up a course.

On the other hand, Huang Qiangmin is also very sociable. The more people who come, the more he welcomes them.

Sitting in the front row of the auditorium, Huang Qiangmin opened a notebook, not to take notes, but to prepare his work report.

"Year of Practical Training!"

This is the name Huang Qiangmin gave for this event. The event itself didn’t change, nor did anyone need to make any changes because of it. But giving it a reasonable name makes it seem more meaningful.

Jiang Yuan was speaking very smoothly, as if dissecting a small case. Every bone and muscle was cleanly separated, and the police below listened intently.

The case was a theft case they were very familiar with, and the methods used were also familiar. What Jiang Yuan taught was more procedural.

Most people naturally prefer procedural methods. Engaging the brain is fun occasionally, but having to do it every day, month in, month out, is something many people are unwilling to do, and it doesn’t align with human nature.

Moreover, when it comes to work attitude and carefulness, it’s essential to be strict during thought work but more lenient during practical work.

For small cases, procedural methods solve similar problems more easily.

Jiang Yuan’s teaching aim wasn’t to filter out potential troublemakers, but to increase efficiency.

Similarly, in small cases, the quality of evidence collection at the scene directly impacts the progress and extent of the case investigation. It should be said that especially in small cases, the procedural ability of police handling the scene is the most important. It’s like traffic police: if they handle the scene well, there are few issues later. If not, it requires too much time and energy afterwards.

However, as detailed as Jiang Yuan’s lecture was, one Chen Yueran wasn’t enough to dissect.

Soon, Jiang Yuan reached the conclusion.

Below, there was visible restlessness among the police.

In terms of seizing opportunities, police are definitely leaders across all professions.

As Jiang Yuan concluded with "That’s all...", a police officer sitting in the front row immediately raised his hand, saying, "Director Jiang, could you discuss a few more cases? I have cases that I can provide to everyone."

Such an offer belongs to the type of idea that ends with the sound of fireworks, and immediately someone said leisurely, "Are we lacking in cases..."

The small auditorium rippled with light laughter, forming a small wave of playful ridicule.

"If we’re doing something, it should be a Qinghe case!" a police officer from the Qinghe City Bureau shouted. Although Jiang Yuan is indeed a Ningtai County police officer, the Ningtai County Bureau is also affiliated with the Qinghe City Bureau, so Jiang Yuan is naturally also part of the Qinghe City Bureau.

"Then let’s find a case from Qinghe City Bureau." Having handled many field cases, Jiang Yuan didn’t take this seriously. Without waiting for a debate to arise, he nodded at Wang Chuanxing.

The Jiang Yuan’s Accumulated Case Team has been screening cases for a long time. Among them, the cases from Ningtai County itself, the Qinghe City Bureau cases, and the Taihe Working Group cases were the top priorities. Following that were cases from the Shannan Provincial Department, the Beijing Bureau, and familiar local police bureaus.

When Wang Chuanxing pulled an all-nighter to make a PPT a few days ago, he also casually created a small list of about a dozen cases for Jiang Yuan to filter through, ensuring they wouldn’t hit any obstacles, at least in terms of difficulty.

After a quick glance, Jiang Yuan selected the first case, saying, "Let’s look at this case. Oh... a drug-assisted sexual assault case. Well, everyone, how should we approach it?"

As expected, once Jiang Yuan made a decision, those ready to argue fell silent and returned to learning mode.

As soon as he posed the question, a young police officer quickly answered, "For sexual assault cases, biological evidence is the first choice, followed by considering other evidence, such as from the scene or clothing, etc. Biological evidence is best with semen, followed by blood, saliva, and feces, then various tissues..."

Freshly graduated young police officers are generally familiar with procedural thoughts for common case handling.

Jiang Yuan nodded naturally and said, "Then let’s go over the evidence."

As he spoke, Jiang Yuan signaled Wang Chuanxing to bring out the relevant photos.

This was almost Jiang Yuan’s procedural approach to ordinary cases. Wang Chuanxing adeptly pulled up the photos, and hundreds of people in the auditorium watched together.

"Ningtai Jiang Yuan’s field case solving?" A few people below whispered.

Though Jiang Yuan had performed onsite case-solving several times, for any police officer, this wasn’t standard procedure, or rather, it was extraordinarily exceptional.

Established experts generally avoid the risk of being brilliant in front of others and then realizing they look foolish.

But Jiang Yuan was too young and had no burden of maintaining an image. From his perspective, even if he came across an unsolvable case, being embarrassed would be no big deal.

"Everyone can write down their thoughts and submit them on paper." In such a large group, Jiang Yuan didn’t ask anyone to speak up. Using paper allowed people to better adjust their language and logic.

Interested police officers began to jot down their notes.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan turned off the microphone and asked Wang Chuanxing, "Where’s Wei Shikan?"

"Still in Changyang City catching up on classes. Catching up on math." Wang Chuanxing didn’t know whether to be envious or amused.

"Give him a call, and have him join the case remotely to give it a try." Jiang Yuan still had the task of teaching the younger generation image investigation skills.
