National Forensic Doctor-Chapter 910 - 848: Espresso Martini

Su Island is not considered a traditional tourist island, its industries are weak, and its pillar industries are mainly based on the primary sector. Yet unlike Suzhou, it has an airport.

From Jiang Fuzhen, a familiar shipping company booked a Bombardier 300; an early flight application was made, allowing departure from Qinghe City Airport near Ningtai County. In less than two hours, the plane could land on Su Island.

The 9-seater plane carried Jiang Yuan, his son from Jiang Fuzhen, Uncle Qiang, and two half-grown Dobermans, making the whole flight very relaxed.

After disembarking by the steps of the plane, a Coaster was seen awaiting them, along with a police car parked alongside.

"Captain Jiang, right? It really is Captain Jiang!" A police officer, in his early forties, came out of the police car and laughed while shaking hands with Jiang Yuan and others. "I’m the station chief here at the airport, Kong Xueping. I saw on the VVIP list there was a ’Jiang Yuan’ from Ningtai County, Shannan Province, and I wondered if it might be you."

Uncle Qiang, holding the two dogs, got into the Coaster with Jiang Fuzhen first, whispering, "Is Jiang Yuan really that famous now?"

"These kind of detectives who solve cases, they’re like breeding bulls, the most expensive one sells for much more than the others," laughed Jiang Fuzhen.

"The way you put it does make sense. He’s earned quite a few first-class and second-class merits, not just from one case. But..." Uncle Qiang frowned, "Is saying ’breeding bulls’ a bit inappropriate?"

"Breeding horses doesn’t sound nice either... but with names like the great and little Dumas, it’s hard to say."

"Breeding dogs? That sounds like an insult."

A few minutes later.

Jiang Yuan hopped into the Coaster, exclaiming loudly, "Let’s go! Drive fast for a start."

"Do you need to work?" asked Jiang Fuzhen, "If so, go ahead and help them crack the case."

Uncle Qiang also said, "It’s really tough on the deceased; it’d be good if the criminal is caught."

"We usually refer to them as the deceased or victims," Jiang Yuan coughed twice before adding, "There’s no need to work though, there’s no urgent case locally. Just added a WeChat, I’ll help them look into fingerprints and footprints later when I have time."

Jiang Fuzhen said, "Don’t force it, we can just sunbathe with the dogs. You working is also fine."

Jiang Yuan sighed, "No forcing, let’s sunbathe together."

Lately, his workload had been quite high, especially moving between Dama and Changyang, solving several immediate cases, which was quite exhausting.

For the current Jiang Yuan, working on immediate cases is often more tiring than dealing with accumulated cases. Accumulated cases have lower time demands; working 8 hours daily and weekends off is feasible, as long as the cases are solved, superiors would only feel embarrassed about how little bonus they could issue.

In many places, the police detective reward for solving accumulated cases is to grant leaves; sometimes, one could even get as long as two months off—a kind of fairy-tale scenario that only a few detectives, who happened to solve significant accumulated cases and had excellent leaders, could experience.

Overall, the challenge with accumulated cases lies in the difficulty of solving them, though the time arrangement during the investigation is relatively flexible. Immediate cases, on the contrary, are mostly not that difficult to solve, but the timing is tight, and the procedural requirements are numerous, often exhausting the participating officers.

Sigh...

Jiang Yuan lay on the beach chair, stretching lazily, soon his eyelids fluttered, and he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, the two Dobermans were already excitedly playing in the water.

"Having fun?" Jiang Yuan whistled, and immediately the two Dobermans perked up their ears and rushed towards him.

Dobermans are excellent guard dogs and a very intelligent breed, so the two Dobermans not only got acquainted with Uncle Qiang and Jiang Fuzhen, but also had a clear understanding of where the world’s most delicious food came from.

Jiang Yuan’s whistle sound, to the ears of the two dogs, was like a call of the times, as if it was a destiny ordained. Thus, by the brightly lit beach, the dogs ran frantically towards the sunlight, along the beach, sprinting, jumping, and advancing regardless of anything...

"Dobermans require a lot of exercise and they enjoy playing outside," Uncle Qiang laughed as he sipped some juice, "Dogs are happy when they play outside."

Jiang Fuzhen said, "My son is the same."

Jiang Yuan turned over to tan the other side of his back.

"Woof woof."

The two Dobermans rushed over and stopped beside Jiang Yuan, starting to pant heavily.

"Sit."

Jiang Yuan commanded.

"Woof woof." Both dogs sat down.

"Good boys!" While petting the dogs’ heads, Jiang Yuan looked out towards the boundless ocean and the peaceful and tranquil city nearby, feeling exceptionally pleased. novelbuddy.cσ๓

This year, he had sent dozens of death-row inmates to prison, and last year’s arrests of several dozen death-row inmates should mostly have been executed by now. He wondered if in the coming period, he could continue his efforts to rid the world of hundreds more human trash, providing solace to many more people.

"Butler." Jiang Yuan waved his hand, calling the hotel butler who was not far away, saying, "Please bring over some espresso martinis."

As the name implies, an espresso martini is a cocktail made by adding espresso to prepared martini. Martini is already a strong drink, and espresso is very bitter. The clash of the two strong flavors is competitive.

That was what Jiang Yuan had in mind, too – let them clash. If the martini wins, I’ll continue to enjoy the sun; if the coffee wins, I’ll look at some cases, and decide a few more fates.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Yuan stretched lazily, boredly turning on the PAD that the butler had brought over.

After consuming four espresso martinis, the concentration of espresso was way above normal, and Jiang Yuan could not sleep even if he wanted to, so he decided to start looking at fingerprints.

Previously, police systems were only usable through a dedicated network. However, with the advancement of various smart policing efforts, mobile devices now have no problem remotely accessing police data. Nowadays, mobile police terminals primarily access through the APN network, which is also the user’s secure access area. After reading the terminal’s secure encryption card and verifying it properly, a link is established to the police network to access business application servers.

After a series of password and biological verifications, Jiang Yuan directly opened up the local fingerprint database on Su Island.

The fingerprints in the database are also managed by different levels and categories. Jiang Yuan’s current authority, provided by the Ministry, allows him to see fingerprints from other provinces and even international ones.

Jiang Yuan randomly selected a fingerprint and started silently marking it.

As the saying goes, on the other side of the water, burning the wicked charm... Jiang Yuan enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Su Island, slowly marking fingerprints while sipping on his espresso martini. In just fifteen minutes, he matched a fingerprint.

"Serious injury case," Jiang Yuan briefly read through the case summary, which described a robbery that resulted in serious injury. The victim had suffered second degree injuries, completely losing the use of their right arm, even unable to hold chopsticks.

However, because the perpetrator wasn’t caught, the financial burden had largely fallen on the victim, truly a double blow.

Such cases, if the suspect is caught, are of great value, but what needs attention is that the incident occurred three years ago, and Su Island is a place from where it’s easy to smuggle out...

"Director Kong, there’s something." Jiang Yuan flipped over, bit into a piece of watermelon, and dialed the number of Kong Xueping, whom he had met at the airport.
