CHAPTER 1275: CHAPTER 1202: ALL GOOD

Changyang City.

Wei Shikan pushed aside the study companion beside him, wiped off the lipstick on his face, pulled up his pants, buttoned his shirt, glanced over the math paper he wrote in the morning, clasped his hands and bowed a couple of times before turning on the webcam of his laptop in front of him.

"Captain Jiang." Wei Shikan knew there was a meeting on the other side, so he addressed by title.

Jiang Yuan nodded: "We’re looking at a drugging and assault case, participate from an image investigation perspective, write down any ideas, and hand it over to... Mu Zhiyang will pass it to you."

Wang Chuanxing is a bit busy, so the handover might not be timely.

Wei Shikan immediately agreed and smiled, "Then I’ll have to bother Brother Mu..."

"No need to switch screens, just do it live." Whether it was the need to complete the task, or the necessity as a mentor, Jiang Yuan was ready to put some pressure on Wei Shikan.

Wei Shikan said "Yes" in a bewildered way.

Mu Zhiyang was watching from the side, knowing that Wei Shikan still didn’t realize the seriousness of the situation, he quickly said, "Shi Kan, there are about 300 police officers watching you live."

Wei Shikan was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Mu Zhiyang glanced at Jiang Yuan, seeing no objection, he continued, "Your mentor has put your face enlarged at the bottom right of the big screen."

Wei Shikan’s eye twitched, he suddenly understood a bit.

At this time, those who knew Wei Shikan took photos on the spot and sent them to his WeChat—whether they had worked on cases together, or had meetings and trainings together, anyone who had seen Wei Shikan certainly had a deep impression of him.

Wei Shikan took a moment to open WeChat, and indeed was startled.

The photo showed a lecture-hall-like auditorium, with the photographer sitting in front of a dozen or so rows, each row sparsely seated with around ten people. From the angle of the photo, the podium at the front was already looking quite small, Jiang Yuan sitting there was not noticeable, instead, the chaotic on-site photos on the large projection screen, and the one-square-meter large Wei Shikan in the lower right corner, stood out remarkably.

The Wei Shikan in the photo was still the way he was a minute ago.

Wei Shikan unconsciously tidied his hair, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say. The really awkward part was, the girl studying finance, who had just been pushed away, was curiously leaning over.

Wei Shikan quickly reached out to block her bun.

The girl giggled and stuck out her tongue...

"That’s all the evidence on the scene. Well, Tang Jia, could you help collect everyone’s notes?" Jiang Yuan turned off the slideshow after the on-site photos were played.

Wang Chuanxing reminded again, "Everyone can log in to the intranet, through the website written on the blackboard, to see all the related information of this case."

Tang Jia made a round, quickly collecting a thick stack of notes.

This wasn’t an ordinary student class, those willing to come for the training somewhat hoped to learn something real.

The work of solving cases is a bit different from other industries, in the hands of different people, the input-output ratio can indeed be hugely different.

Cases that ordinary criminal police couldn’t figure out for two months, in the hands of expert geniuses, are often solved in no time.

Apart from flashes of genius, there are also many skillful techniques involved, which is precisely the focus of Jiang Yuan’s training, and also the focus of everyone’s learning.

"Wei Shikan, you go first." Jiang Yuan, while looking at the notes Tang Jia collected, first gave Wei Shikan the opportunity to speak.

Wei Shikan, somewhat prepared, coughed twice, sat up straight and said, "The crime scene of this case is a bar’s restroom, there are no cameras in the bar, much less in the restroom, plus the victim went alone, no one saw the specific situation that day, which has resulted in significant obstacles to solving the case..."

After briefly describing the case’s situation, Wei Shikan continued, "The time the victim pointed out as being assaulted was around 2 a.m., and the time of discovery was 3:15 a.m., which gives a gap of an hour and a half. The bar’s entrances and exits are fully camera-covered, hence, we can list all the men entering and exiting the bar during that time..."

Wei Shikan inadvertently glanced at the camera, but he could not see the interior of the auditorium, nor Jiang Yuan inside, only exposing his expression to the police officers in the auditorium, making him seem a bit anxious.

"This line of thinking is good, how to screen the people?" Jiang Yuan, having handled many major cases, was long accustomed to situations of hundreds of people, and asked directly as if in a special investigation team.

Wei Shikan, on the other hand, was inexperienced, hesitated for a second, then softly said, "We can first conduct inquiries to see if there are alibis?"

Getting suspects to provide evidence of their non-suspicion is also a practical way of handling cases. If someone insists on the presumption of innocence, wanting to change society with their own power, just put them on the key suspect list.

"That works too." Jiang Yuan nodded, then said, "Can you identify all the males leaving within that hour and a half through the bar’s entrance cameras?"

"This..." Wei Shikan was a bit stupefied, softly said, "I can try."

"Alright, that’s your homework for today." Jiang Yuan finished and lowered his head, picking up the notes just collected, saying, "Most suggest looking for biological evidence. Well, the lab is also working on this, with limited success... There’s too much stuff in the restroom, and the report was already the next day, with a cleanup having been done, basically no useful biological evidence was extracted from the scene."

As Jiang Yuan said this, some police officers listening couldn’t help but shout, "How do you carry out a drug-induced assault in a restroom? The woman can’t even stand, lying on the ground?"

There was a light laughter in the auditorium, Liu Wenkai beside him said, "You didn’t look carefully, the crime scene is a mother-and-baby room. There’s a hard surface used for changing diapers."

"A mother-and-baby room in a bar?"

Liu Wenkai smirked, "There are two mother-and-baby rooms, quite popular."

"The person in charge of this bar should be arrested."

"This can be considered later by the prosecutor." Huang Qiangmin inserted, steering the topic back to the investigation.

Jiang Yuan continued flipping through the notes, sifting through over a dozen, evaluating as he went:

"Legal Botany is feasible. Consider this later, it’s time-consuming. You just need to grasp the basic methods."

"The idea of case connections is feasible. Yes, those who commit drugging often tend to do it multiple times, this plan can be used."

"Mm, here’s a suggestion about finding fibers. This is a good idea, we can focus on discussing this later..."

The police officers in the auditorium gradually felt excited.

Those attending the training were all socially experienced, unembarrassed, so many were willing to write notes to send up. Some even co-wrote a thought with others to submit.

And as Jiang Yuan read them one by one, many people had similar thoughts, and Jiang Yuan’s round of reading had mostly affirmations, which instantly brought many a sense of participation.

Of course, some sharp individuals quickly noticed and shouted, "It seems like any plan could solve the case at this rate."

"Wasn’t it always supposed to be like this?" Jiang Yuan’s tone, on the contrary, sounded a bit surprised.
