Chapter 924: Difficult First, Easy Later

Chapter 924: Difficult First, Easy Later

They attacked from three directions and returned empty-handed all three times, but the mood of the criminal police in Jiang Yuan's backlog case task force did not seem to be affected.

Jiang Yuan had come out of the "urban primeval forest" and had calmed down a long time ago. He took the initiative to greet them, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Let's eat first and wait and see the feedback from other departments."

Some lively expressions then appeared on everyone's faces.

Su Shanming observed the members of Jiang Yuan's backlog case team with some curiosity. Speaking of which, he was the captain of the Changle City Criminal Police Detachment, and his rank was similar to that of Huang Qiangmin before. Of course, he only had more than 20 people under him, but in terms of seniority and rank, he was much higher than Jiang Yuan. But now he had to obey Jiang Yuan's command. Su Shanming could not say that he was unconvinced, but he still had some thoughts in his mind.

At least in this case, Su Shanming did not see any special strength from Jiang Yuan. Unless, this unyielding look is also considered part of his strength?

As Su Shanming thought about this, he watched Jiang Yuan turn right and enter the "Xingyue Building" in front.

Su Shanming couldn't help but reach forward, wanting to call Jiang Yuan.

How could the criminal police afford to treat guests to a place like Xingyue Tower? Besides, we couldn't let Jiang Yuan treat guests to a meal at such a place. Wouldn't that be a rip-off?

But after just a moment of hesitation, Jiang Yuan and others had already entered Xingyue Tower chatting and laughing.

Su Shanming sighed and could only follow. He sent a message to the captain, thinking that if it didn't work, the captain would reimburse the meal. In fact, with the current income level, ordinary eating and drinking are nothing. It's just that there is always a hotel in every city that wants to take a different blood path, so that people who want to heal with bloodletting have a place to go.

Su Shanming walked into Xingyue Building in two steps at a time, and saw all kinds of fresh seafood in the temporary holding pool at the door, shouting "Eat me, eat me" with their claws and teeth bared. He couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

After walking two steps inside, Su Shanming was thinking about what to say next when he saw Jiang Yuan and a group of people coming out talking and laughing again.

Su Shanming nodded secretly in his heart. Jiang Yuan and others knew when to turn back and were able to stretch and shrink. This was considered a good psychological quality.

Su Shanming stepped forward and said with a smile: "Actually, I know a few good shops, the food is delicious, there is no need to go to this kind of shop."

"We've already ordered, let's go back and eat." Jiang Yuan smiled and didn't let Su Shanming finish his words.

Su Shanming was stunned: "Have you ordered?"

"Well, we found out it was a high-end restaurant when we came in. It's not appropriate for us to eat in there in our uniforms. I asked them to prepare it and send it over. I also invited the other teams of detectives who were working overtime to eat together." Jiang Yuan paused and said, "I'll treat you to this meal. This case has been delayed for so long. Thank you all for your hard work."

Many people said:

"Not hard, not hard."

"It's fine……"

"No need, Captain Jiang..."

Jiang Yuan just waved his hand. He was a leader now. Of course, he didn't know how to be a leader, but with his limited experience and personal ability, it was at least right to spend money to treat everyone to a meal, and the cost of trial and error was also low.

His father gave him so much money for socializing that he even had to call his bank manager. Ordering a dish from "Xing Yue Lou" was just a drop in the bucket.

After returning to the Criminal Police Detachment, Jiang Yuan and others set up a stall in the cafeteria and invited the detachment captain and others.

After a while, the director and the leaders in charge also arrived at the cafeteria. In the past, this would have required at least all members of the detachment to clean up the place.

Huang Qiangmin was forced to accompany them. Fortunately, the case had reached a stalemate and it was not suitable to drink. Without the blessing of alcohol, the wine table with the leaders would be very depressing.

The meal was eaten quickly. Captain Lang Heng was in charge of adjusting the atmosphere. He soon ran out of topics to talk about, so he simply brought up work and said, "Captain Jiang, what are your plans for the future?"

"Let's see if your image detection and technical detection team can find the person first." Jiang Yuan smiled and looked at the captain of the image detection team next to him with a simple and unintelligent look.

The director and others naturally turned their eyes over there.

"This case is now our main target!" The captain of the Image Detective Brigade patted his chest.

"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Yuan thanked them and said, "In fact, I also understand that image detection is limited by the density of equipment and may not be able to find clues. However, once image detection is able to find clues, they are often decisive and have the final say. I will trouble you to look for more."

"We understand." The captain of the Image Detective Team breathed a sigh of relief. He was also afraid that Jiang Yuan would not be sensible and would keep pushing for time or even set a time limit to solve the case, which would be difficult.

Solving a case within a time limit is like getting married within a time limit. It is not a goal that you can achieve by working hard. Sometimes, you just can't solve it. It is not something that can be solved just because you have a lot of funds, are willing to spend money, or risk your life. It is even more difficult for those who are poor, unwilling, and have no courage. This is about solving a case.

Liu Jinghui had discussed this with Jiang Yuan in advance, so he put some pressure on her and said, "Since the victim Chen Nuan left the restaurant, she probably had no awareness or need for counter-detection. If we can find Chen Nuan's whereabouts, we'll have new clues in this case. Well, we can also check the location of Chen Nuan's phone."

He said it in a rather relaxed tone, which made the captain of the Image Reconnaissance Team look bitter, but he could only agree.

From his professional perspective, most cases are naturally as Liu Jinghui said, but there will always be different ones. What should he do if he really encounters them?

Jiang Yuan waited for them to finish talking about this, put down his chopsticks, and said, "From the beginning of this case to now, we can say that we have mobilized a lot of people and spent a lot of time to get to this point. However, from now on, this case is actually equivalent to restarting the case, and can even be regarded as a brand new case. Starting tomorrow, we will continue to sort out Chen Nuan's contacts. She can't have disappeared for no reason."

Everyone agreed.

Jiang Yuan smiled again, looked at Liu Jinghui, and said, "We can say that we started with the difficult and then the easy. Now that the time of disappearance is basically determined, if nothing unexpected happens, it should not be difficult to get clues."

A working girl in her early 20s disappeared at her workplace and was killed and her body dumped. Although it sounds cruel, this is basically a common homicide case and is not comparable to a drowning case in terms of difficulty.

Liu Jinghui nodded slightly: "Although there are still other possibilities, considering that the murderer took the trouble to use the deceased's mobile phone to send messages, the probability that this case was committed by an acquaintance is still very high."

Liu Jinghui: "In addition, Chen Nuan probably doesn't have any strong connections in the local area, and may not even have any acquaintances, otherwise she wouldn't have nowhere to stay and have to work in that restaurant. Considering that Chen Nuan herself has nothing, the possibility of a conflict over money is almost zero. If it's not about money, then it's about love."

"What about rape?" Captain Su Shanming had been following the case for some time and had some understanding of the case, but he could only put forward his ideas.

Jiang Yuan first shook his head: "Rape is unlikely. The underwear is there, and the victim has no signs of being raped. Under normal circumstances, beating to this extent should be enough to complete rape."

"Impotence, or premature ejaculation?" Su Shanming didn't want to argue, he could only say that he had seen it too many times.

Liu Jinghui shook his head first: "There is no need to take the phone, and there is no need to deceive Chen Nuan's husband."

"Indeed, a rapist would not do this." Su Shanming nodded in agreement.

Liu Jinghui hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Are there many cases of trafficking in Changle?"

Liu Jinghui is more worried about trafficking than rape. Especially if it is unplanned trafficking, which leads to accidental or intentional homicide, the participants have the motivation to deceive the husband of the deceased through WeChat in order to hide the time of the crime and other information.

Su Shanming glanced at the captain Lang Heng and said, "As for cases of abduction and trafficking, they have indeed been on the rise in recent years."
