National Forensic Doctor-Chapter 56 - 55 There’s Only One Way to Huashan Since Ancient Times

Du Lei had brought Jiang Yuan over also to show him around, hoping he would realize the difficulty and retreat.

Next, he took Jiang Yuan for a tour around the traffic unit’s garage and said, “What do you think?

If you really want to dismantle cars, you’ll have to use professional equipment and instruments.

To be honest, there are some devices here that I’m not very familiar with.

I have to learn as I go.

In the traffic unit, those who can handle the full set of equipment are all old masters.

Unless you ask Brigade Chief to personally request someone, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to get anyone.”

Jiang Yuan, having understood Du Lei’s meaning and after scanning his surroundings, felt confident and replied, “I don’t have anything else to do anyway, so I might as well stay here and work on the cars.”

“Do you know how to use these devices?” Du Lei asked.

“Most of them, yes.

Like this portable multi-spectral light source device, it’s used to find bodily fluids, hair, fibers, glass fragments, dust fingerprints and footprints—the same kind as what we use in scene investigations, with xenon lights, 13 wavelengths…” Jiang Yuan said while demonstrating its use.

The traffic team had been notified in advance and remained silent as they watched Jiang Yuan operate the equipment smoothly.

Jiang Yuan casually demonstrated two more devices before stopping and saying, “I’ll also need a micro-evidence investigation kit.

It should have surgical instruments, a ray detector, and a micro-vacuum cleaner would be ideal…”

Watching and listening, Du Lei gradually relaxed, straightened up, and said, “You don’t have anything in your county, but you know everything?”

Jiang Yuan smiled and responded, “Learned a bit before.”

“Alright then.

I’ll have the captain find a set for you,” sighed Du Lei, then chuckled, “If you really find a clue through this car, that would be impressive.”

Du Lei pulled out his phone and made a call back, requesting Tan Yong’s Pajero to be towed directly to the traffic unit.

At the same time, he asked someone to find a micro-evidence investigation kit…

“Given the situation from three years ago, we can only search for clues in this car now,” Jiang Yuan casually remarked.

…

“Now, we can only search for clues through elimination and reasoning,” declared Liu Jinghui in front of everyone.

Hundreds of criminal police officers and auxiliary police, including Wei Zhenguo and Mu Zhiyang, loudly acknowledged the order and went on to investigate hundreds of companies, units, and construction projects related to Luqiao Group in the vicinity.

According to Liu Jinghui’s theory, to develop an effective body dumping plan, or rather, to have a stable body dumping route, one first needs a stable route.

Therefore, short-term construction projects were not the focus of this investigation.

However, what truly mattered remained unclear to Liu Jinghui.

He sat in his office, poring over information gathered from various sources, especially the investigation notes, and thought it over carefully.

After a while, Liu Jinghui stood up, took a pen, and started circling areas on the wall map.

There was no one in the office.

Liu Jinghui was pondering and muttered to himself:

“For a stable body-dumping channel, the traffic can’t be too bad…

No, that’s not right, after all, the frequency of visits isn’t too high.

Yeah, it definitely can’t be too bumpy; no matter how you package a body, you can’t risk any exposure.

So, that rules out the really remote mountain roads…”

“An operational unit that’s unstable, prone to shutting down production…

that might actually be useful.

But if they have cameras year-round, he’d probably have to think twice…”

“Access to the highway is best, preferably without a toll booth, let alone a checkpoint, or there’s always a chance of getting caught.

But it’s not absolutely certain.

If I were to dispose of a body, where would I bury it?

Hmm…

If it’s not water, it’s got to be a pit; there needs to be something ready-made.

Digging on the spot is too exhausting.

Digging a three-meter pit, you would almost wish the corpse could dig itself…”

“Right, he had to go back there repeatedly; he’d likely even go during non-business hours.

He must be driving his own car…”

Liu Jinghui was drawing on the map and regained his energy, then he started looking through piles of interview records.

Outside his office, the detectives were coming and going, their numbers dwindling over time.

By the early morning, the outside offices were empty, yet Liu Jinghui remained spirited.

Especially as he felt he was getting closer to the truth, his spirits soared even more.

Tired as he was, he was still excited.

Excited as he was, he was still tired.

The next day, the detectives continued to gather evidence and interrogate Tan Yong.

Liu Jinghui was still tirelessly engaged in mobilizing his brain, thinking and analyzing possible body-dumping sites.

The places first suspected of being body-dumping grounds were once again measured by the detectives’ footsteps.

Although there were no results yet, Liu Jinghui believed that he was getting closer to the truth, step by step.

The busy work of investigation went on for almost a week.

Liu Jinghui’s meticulous shirt also started to look neglected.

Exhaustion began to show on everyone’s faces.

As the main axis, Liu Jinghui was marinated in the taste of coffee and tea, with hollow cheeks, swollen eyes, but he still managed to hold on.

For detectives investigating current murder cases, it was common for the team to work through a week, and it was even more understandable for a case as important as a backlog that may be a serial murder case.

Although the Chinese police system does not highlight serial murder cases and create various profiles for serial killers like foreign countries do, when they do occur, it’s only appropriate for them to be afforded a high level of attention.

The increasing number of people assigned to the special task force for the 326 kidnapping and murder case indicated that the superiors were continually deploying more resources as the case progressed.

Monday.

Once again, it was time for the all-hands meeting, which was now taking place in the large conference room.

Liu Jinghui walked into the conference room with confidence, holding a stack of documents.

He saw that in the front row, seven or eight people had formed a group and were discussing something heatedly.

Without haste to start the meeting, he approached with an affable look and smiled, “What are you discussing so enthusiastically?

Any progress on the case?”

“Jiang Yuan found a potential hidden spot for the corpse using trace evidence.

It’s quite compelling!” Brigade Chief Yu Wenshu said, unable to contain his excitement as he held a report.

Liu Jinghui smiled again, maintained his smile, and approached, “Let me have a look.”
