252: Chapter 239 Transfer_3 252: Chapter 239 Transfer_3 Huang Qiangmin’s reasoning was indeed impressive, and it was of a political kind; only someone familiar with the internal affairs of the police department could have come up with it.

Speaking of which, Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, “I think it’s still quite difficult to directly approach Director Liu, and besides, finding people isn’t my forte.”

Half of the equipment in his arsenal was meant for the dead, and the other half relied on the city and modern technology.

In the wilderness, his ability to contribute was naturally diminished.

Huang Qiangmin frowned with a hint of a bad premonition and asked, “If you don’t want to go straight to Liu Jinghui, what do you want to do now?”

“I want to crack this case right now,” Jiang Yuan declared astonishingly.

Even though Huang Qiangmin was used to Jiang Yuan’s way of doing things, he was still a bit startled by this remark and after a moment of stunned silence, he whispered sternly, “Are you crazy?

Which case are you talking about?”

“The case of the tire being punctured.

But mainly, the murder case behind it,” Jiang Yuan said, counting on his fingers, “We all know Director Liu ended up here following the clues from the reservoir body-dumping case.

The car accident caused by the tire puncture is very likely a derivative of that same case.”

Huang Qiangmin: “But…

there’s no evidence.”

“We’re still in the investigative phase now, and the good thing is we don’t need to prove it,” Jiang Yuan said calmly, “But it’s just this one mountain, a place that’s normally deserted, and we have both a murder case and a police officer’s car accident.

Do you think they’re unrelated?”

Huang Qiangmin said nothing.

Jiang Yuan continued, “Director Liu’s disappearance is definitely because of this murder case.

There’s a good chance he fell victim to the murderer.

Regardless of whether Director Liu is alive or dead, as long as we solve this murder case, his situation should become clear.”

“Easy for you to say; first of all, we don’t even have a body in this supposed murder case—it might just be a false lead.

Even if there is such a murder case, it would be a cold case that’s at least 10 years old.

It’s not something that can be easily solved.”

“I agree with what you’re saying,” Jiang Yuan followed Huang Qiangmin’s words, adding, “As for solving cases, nobody dares to claim they can crack them with absolute certainty.

We will proceed step by step, as you just said, starting with finding the body.”

“What do you mean ‘as I said’…” Huang Qiangmin felt that Jiang Yuan was just giving him lip service, but a smile still formed on his face and when it reached approximately 55.5 degrees, Huang Qiangmin said, “So, you came here today to find a body?”

“I wasn’t sure when I first arrived, but now, I’m certain it’s easier to find a body than to look for Director Liu,” Jiang Yuan did not discuss Liu Jinghui’s possible situation with Huang Qiangmin.

There was no need to discuss it anyway.

A person’s condition can only fall into so many categories, and after all the discussions, it must still be determined by the state they are found in.

It’s like opening a mystery box now; Jiang Yuan just wanted to earn more money to open the boxes, not to discuss the chances of finding rare items inside them.

“Cold cases of murder that have built up over the years aren’t that easy to solve,” Huang Qiangmin muttered again.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan was unmoved, he felt it wasn’t right to call him arrogant.

After all, the man had indeed solved quite a number of such cases.

Counting those solved through fingerprint investigation, Jiang Yuan might have cracked more murder cold cases than Huang Qiangmin had in his entire career.

Thinking this way felt somewhat sad, but Huang Qiangmin was a seasoned player; he knew his own skills, the capacities of the county’s criminal police, as well as the prowess of those impressive figures in solving cases.

Even the legendary “Eight Tigers,” whom Huang Qiangmin had encountered, demonstrated their remarkable ability to solve major cases with ease.

Turning his head to look at Jiang Yuan, Huang Qiangmin shifted position and said, “Director Liu has been up this mountain for so long without having solved the case.

It’s very likely that the clues he found were not reliable, which is why there has been a delay until now.

You want to start with the murder case, and you don’t even have a body…”

“Having a lead at all is better than grasping at straws,” explained Jiang Yuan, though his justification felt half-hearted.

In truth, he already had some hunches about the possible location of the body.

However, considering Liu Jinghui met his misfortune on this mountain, and the way he had his car accident, coupled with some details Jiang Yuan observed today, he felt even more reason to keep his thoughts to himself.

It’s better to get things done without necessarily talking about them.
