National Forensic Doctor
Chapter 192 - 192 184 Sorrow

192: Chapter 184: Sorrow 192: Chapter 184: Sorrow It was only when the crime suspect Cui Liang was about to be transferred to the detention center that Jiang Yuan cast a distant glance at him.

Cui Liang, now in shackles, wore loose and baggy clothes, and his haggard appearance made him seem somewhat pitiable.

If one didn’t take his crimes into account, his current state did indeed evoke pity.

At an age where other elderly people were preparing for retirement and expecting to enjoy their twilight years, Cui Liang was about to enter prison to serve a sentence—possibly even a death sentence.

From a humanitarian perspective—that would be utterly inhumane.

Before leaving, Cui Liang also saw Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan stood a head taller than others nearby, so it was only natural for him to attract attention.

Cui Liang didn’t know that Jiang Yuan was the “culprit” behind his arrest.

Thus, when he realized Jiang Yuan was staring at him, Cui Liang deliberately made a fierce face.

Perhaps he wanted to leave a lasting impression on this young police officer.

Jiang Yuan guessed his intentions and his psychology…

In the field of criminal science, psychology is often seen as a chicken rib – seemingly useful but often not really essential.

Forensic doctors also have a specialized subject called forensic psychiatry, dedicated to identifying mental illnesses and alike.

Similar to forensic entomology, it falls into the category of subjects that are brilliant for top students and baffling for struggling ones.

Jiang Yuan hadn’t yet learned the relevant skills, but that didn’t stop him from accumulating some experience.

…

Mission: Crack the doubtful case

Mission content: Solve case 405, Xu Hai case

Mission reward: Document Examination (LV3)

…

Jiang Yuan acquired a skill, initially stunned then pleased.

Document examination skills, though used less frequently in the field of criminal investigation, are more commonly utilized in economic investigations.

However, in Ningtai County, not a single professional document examiner was to be found.

Yan Ge could do simple things such as authenticate a signature, but that’s about it.

More complex tasks, such as handwriting analysis or assessment of the state of printed documents, had to be sent to Changyang City.

Jiang Yuan felt he had filled a gap in the Ningtai County Criminal Police Detachment…

“Heading back?” Wang Zhong came from behind and greeted Jiang Yuan.

“Yeah.

Nothing left for today.” Jiang Yuan stretched, saw Wang Zhong had already packed his things, and asked, “How are you getting back?”

“By bus.” Wang Zhong was a rookie policeman, and without a pre-arranged marriage house or a relocation in the family, he had to live frugally.

“I’ll give you a lift.” Jiang Yuan pulled Wang Zhong along.

Recently, while working on cold cases, having someone with him felt safer.

It’s better to have a trace examiner along than to go alone.

Wang Zhong, still not quite understanding, followed in Jiang Yuan’s footsteps.

The two made their way to the parking lot and then into the car.

Jiang Yuan dropped Wang Zhong off at his residence before driving home himself.

As he reached his home, the rich scent of food greeted him.

“Dad.” Jiang Yuan followed the aroma.

“Back already?

How did the case solving go?” The voice of Jiang Fuzhen from the kitchen came through.

“Smoothly.

The suspect had been on the run in the province for many years, but we caught him and brought him back.” Jiang Yuan entered the kitchen and saw his dad, wearing a rare LV homewear, stirring a pot with a large spoon.

At the small kitchen table, three uncles, Mrs.

Hua, and about five or six other people stared eagerly at the stove, a dish of rice in front of each.

“Abalone sauce rice?” Jiang Yuan identified it at a glance.

Jiang Fuzhen uttered a “hm,” and said, “If you didn’t come back soon, we’d have finished it all.”

As he spoke, his spoon kept stirring in the stainless steel bucket, the thick abalone sauce flowing stickily.

Jiang Yuan skillfully grabbed a plate, scooped rice onto it, and then sat obediently at the edge of the table with his dish.

“Made a breakthrough again?” Mrs.

Hua inquired with a bit of gossip.

Jiang Yuan smiled and replied, “Not necessarily.

Whether or not I make a breakthrough depends on many factors.”

“After so many years on the run, he must be furious being caught by you.

What does he do?” Uncle Three became curious as well.

“He might even be facing the death penalty,” Jiang Yuan only revealed what he could.

The attention of everyone seated was instantly captivated.

At that moment, the taste of abalone even seemed to take a back seat.

Jiang Fuzhen suddenly said, “Catching such a person must be dangerous, right?”

“Maybe,” Jiang Yuan replied, “I think we also need to be cautious at home.”

He wasn’t entirely being overcautious,

“Aren’t the two dogs enough?” Jiang Fuzhen frowned.

Everyone’s gaze shifted again, focusing on the two Doberman dogs.

The Dobermans, only slightly bigger than a Pomeranian, looked innocently charming at that moment.

Realizing everyone’s focus was on them, they started running around excitedly.

“I’ll let everyone know, tightening up on the village’s security is a good idea,” Uncle Three said as he began to send WeChat messages.

“When we went through demolition before, our organization was excellent.

But now, everyone has become lax.

When you go out and people hear you’re from Jiang Village, their eyes light up…”

As they talked, they began to discuss among themselves.

Jiang Fuzhen came over with a bucket to pour abalone sauce for everyone.

The main ingredient of the abalone sauce was actually a broth formed by simmering various side ingredients such as hen, ribs, pigs’ feet, and chickens’ feet.

Dipping cooked beef and other items in the abalone sauce was also an incredibly satisfying ingredient.

Apart from the ease of becoming tired of it, the first meal is definitely a delight among delights.

…

Over the following few days, Jiang Yuan sifted through old cases but never found an appropriate one.

After selecting a less suitable case and working on it for another day, he still had no leads.

Old cases, unlike active ones, essentially depend on finding answers from the case files, which are written by the police officers involved at the time of the active investigations.

So, without any major technological breakthroughs, relying solely on case files makes solving a case extremely difficult.

The members of the Ningtai County Criminal Police Detachment, however, started to feel that the world was gradually returning to normal.

To be honest, digesting even two unresolved murder cases was very tough for a detachment, with a myriad of reports to file and continuous requests for supplementary investigations.

So, nobody was really pushing Jiang Yuan.

Friday.

Noon time.

Jiang Yuan was ready to go for lunch early.

Just then, Huang Qiangmin’s phone call came through: “Are you in the office?

Wait for me in the conference room.”

Jiang Yuan didn’t ask what it was about and automatically headed to the conference room.

A short while later, Huang Qiangmin arrived with what was obviously a family group.

“Jiang Yuan, these two, are He Jingqin’s parents.

And other relatives,” Huang Qiangmin introduced upon meeting to avoid any misunderstandings.

Jiang Yuan was taken aback and then remembered that He Jingqin was the victim in a murder case that had just been solved.

The mere 16-year-old girl had lost all her potential due to the impulsive act of a molester.

Jiang Yuan subconsciously didn’t even want to imagine the victim’s current state.

“Doctor Jiang.

Thank you,” He Jingqin’s parents, who had the look of intellectuals, said with a serious and mournful expression.

“Uh, you’re welcome,” Jiang Yuan said looking at them, unsure of what else to say.

“If Jingqin knows in the afterlife, she would probably thank you too for vindicating her,” He Jingqin’s parents said with emphasis, though their voices were faint.

The police officers, witnessing this scene, were also at a loss for words.
