287: Chapter 262 Huge Difficult Case_2 287: Chapter 262 Huge Difficult Case_2 But there are always those criminal cases that have a very small chance of being dangerous.

The danger might come from poisonous snakes in the water or unforeseen accidents on shore.

And the most fearsome thing is to lose your way on the water and go from a pond into the sea.

Huang Qiangmin had been a detective for decades and had actually encountered real danger only a few times.

But to give him due credit, he had spent his whole life working in the county town.

He wasn’t too familiar with what things were like in the provincial capital.

Moreover, the cases he was invited to join in on were never simple, and he wasn’t comfortable with the young Jiang Yuan taking them on directly.

The two vehicles converged at the city’s highway entrance.

Wei Zhenguo immediately switched to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and instructed his apprentice Mu Zhiyang, as well as Wang Zhong, two young men, to drive safely.

Mu Zhiyang and Wang Zhong agreed, with Mu Zhiyang obediently adding, “Master, don’t worry.

Our car shakes when it hits 90 on the highway, and it has a really solid body, very safe.”

“Once you hit 70, don’t roll down the windows.

The wind on the highway will not only chafe your face but it’s also noisy.

If you really feel like opening a window, just crack the one in the front passenger and the right backseat a little.

That’s comparatively better,” Wei Zhenguo shared his experience with the two, then sat in the passenger seat of the G-Class, setting the temperature to 20 degrees.

The sound of the air conditioning immediately got louder, and the direct blast of cool air made Wei Zhenguo shiver, revealing a smile of contentment.

…

Changyang City.

Wan Baoming was waiting right outside the city’s Criminal Science and Technology Center.

Several detectives also came specially to stand beside Wan Baoming, observing Jiang Yuan and Wei Zhenguo as they stepped down from the G-Class.

The center’s director, Li Zhiyuan, was in casual dress, a clean white shirt looking quite formal.

After shaking hands with Jiang Yuan and Wei Zhenguo, he said, “Anything you need, ask Old Wan; if there’s really a need, asking me is no problem either.

Hahaha…”

Li Zhiyuan then excused himself, saying he had “a meeting to attend,” and departed.

The other detectives, after glancing at Jiang Yuan, also dispersed.

Wan Baoming took over and, with a twinkle in his eye, commented, “Feels different in a white shirt, doesn’t it?”

“There’s a sense of pressure,” Jiang Yuan replied honestly.

In Ningtai County Bureau, even the bureau chief wore blue shirts, and the ordinary detectives barely ever saw white shirts throughout the year.

However, the provincial capital was obviously on a different level.

Jiang Yuan then asked, “Does Director Li do technical work?”

“He used to.

And he also comes from a forensic background,” Wan Baoming, who was an expert in traces and overlooked Jiang Yuan, joked, “Forensic doctors are tough people.”

A few exchanges of chat quickly closed the distance between everyone.

Looking at Wei Zhenguo, Wan Baoming chuckled, “The provincial capital city is larger and the situations are more complex.

I won’t go into specifics, but as long as we solve cases, that’s what matters, right?”

“Is there a cooperating detective team?” Wei Zhenguo asked.

“Chief Yu trusts Jiang Yuan a lot.

If you need anything, you can ask me or go directly to Captain Yu,” Wan Baoming explained, then added, “Captain Yu has a meeting and couldn’t come over.

Seriously, he has a meeting to attend.”

Everyone shared a smile.

Wan Baoming led the two into a small office, where they saw that everything had been set up with two computers placed there, along with a filing cabinet and an evidence cabinet, both secured with small locks.

“Let me know if you need anything else and I’ll have it brought over,” Wan Baoming said.

“We could use two field beds.

If not, autopsy tables would do,” Jiang Yuan said.

“We might occasionally rest a bit in the office, so that should be alright.”

“Of course, it’s fine.

We have plenty of field beds, and actually, we have autopsy tables too if you forensic doctors have any particular quirks…”

“It’s not that serious.”

“That’s good.” Wan Baoming laughed heartily, “I thought you were like our director who needs to sleep on an autopsy table every so often.”

Jiang Yuan was momentarily taken aback, “Director Li has that hobby?”

Wan Baoming said, “They say the cold autopsy table helps with thinking and cooling off.

The reason why aristocratic vampires sleep in underground crypts is because it’s cooler down there which lowers brain temperature.

Aristocrats had to review documents and such, they were the brain workers of the Middle Ages.

An autopsy table, being made of stainless steel, goes one step further and can also draw out dampness.”

Jiang Yuan felt his brain overheating as he listened, “Is this something your Director Li said?

Our forensic doctors’ reputation is going to…”

“No, this was something that everyone came up with about Director Li, but it’s no longer allowed to be said,” Wan Baoming said earnestly, “These were the precise instructions he gave during a meeting.”

“Let’s just work on our case,” Wei Zhenguo couldn’t take it anymore.

Seeing both of them relaxed, Wan Baoming smiled and asked, “Does Jiang Yuan want to work on fingerprints?”

Jiang Yuan asked, “Are there other cases?”

“What type of case would you like?” Wan Baoming inquired with a smile.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment.

He had actually considered what type of cases to work on.

While fingerprints certainly presented considerable advantages, and his own skills in fingerprinting were strong enough, as evidenced by the high-rise fall case he had solved just a few days ago.

But the limitations of fingerprints were also quite clear.

Aside from factors like fingerprint databases, the probative value of fingerprints was another issue.

Firstly, fingerprints are indirect evidence; they can only prove that the suspect had been there, not that the suspect was involved in the case.

Furthermore, the location from which fingerprints are collected and the methods of collection can themselves be irregular, thereby casting doubt on the persuasive power of the evidence.
