?210: 202   210: 202                                   Jiang Yuan granted the petty thieves of Ningtai County the liberty of a longer prison term, which onlysted a little over a day.


    By the second day, the three police officers in the image office saw Jiang Yuan still handling the same mundane theft cases, and they couldn’t help but grow restless.


    When Jiang Yuan came by again, the youngest officer, Gao Jiansheng, said, “Doctor Jiang, if you have some free time, could you help us with a case?”


    “What case?” Jiang Yuan asked.


    “There are two motorbike thieves from out of town who snatched several women’s bags in front of the bus station.


    The victims have reported the crime, and we’ve found the footage, but we just can’t get it clean,” Gao Jiansheng said, already prepared with the images, and pulled them out as he spoke.


    What he meant by ‘not clean,’ was the noise in the images wasn’t properly processed.


    As a basic part of image enhancement, this was the simplest way to handle it, and also the mostmon method used by Ningtai County’s image troika.


    With a nce, Jiang Yuan saw that Gao Jiansheng and the others had already extracted images of the criminal suspects from the videos.


    However, due to technical reasons, they couldn’t obtain a clear face or any other identifiable features.


    “Let me give it a try,” Jiang Yuan said upon seeing this and sat down at theputer, immediately starting to work.


    “Alright.” Gao Jiansheng responded happily and promptly cleared his desk andputer for Jiang Yuan, opting to sit in the corner, took out his mobile phone, and contently started ying with it.


    This was where Gao Jiansheng and Wang Zhong differed greatly.


    Both technicians were below LV1 level, but Wang Zhong had a strong motivation to learn, always seeking opportunities to watch Jiang Yuan work on fingerprints.


    Gao Jiansheng, on the other hand, was different.


    As long as he could get through the day’s work, he didn’t care how it was done.


    As for improving his skills, Gao Jiansheng would asionally have such thoughts, but usually, after watching Jiang Yuan work for a minute, Gao Jiansheng would give up.


    By now, he couldn’t even be bothered to watch for a minute.


    While personality differences yed a part, it was also rted to their technical paths.


    Wang Zhong worked in fingerprinting, a field that, while it did involve some sophisticated matters, really only had a little bit of them.


    The rest wasrgely about diligence, effort, and sometimes luck.


    The field of image investigation was different.


    Beyond the simplest methods that involved using software, it was all high-end and technical.


    There were various Lagrange and Fourier techniques, and not only was it skill-intensive, but it also greatly depended on natural talent.


    Gao Jiansheng’s character was one aspect, but the difficulty of image investigation was genuinely challenging.


    Regardless of the reason, Gao Jiansheng had now clearly set his development direction—to be Ningtai County’s number one handyman.


    “Let me know when it’s done,” Jiang Yuan said as he stood up, and Gao Jiansheng’s desktop machine started buzzing violently.


    One advantage for those working in the image studio was that they had goodputer setups and could handle post-processing themselves, saving Jiang Yuan a lot of effort.


    Forensic doctor’s office.


    Wu Jun was idly ying with a Diao Lan nt when he saw Jiang Yuan return, and immediately said, “Why did it take so long?


    What were they dragging you off to do this time?”


    “There was a motorbike robbery case.


    I just did some image enhancement,” Jiang Yuan briefly replied.


    “I see you’re nning to take over all the work of the criminal investigation team,” Wu Jun nced at him.


    Jiang Yuan smiled, “I’ve seen forensic doctors in some countries doing a bit of everything, right?”


    “Speaking as a mentor, this is not the right thing to say, but you, my friend, are a bit too eager to get ahead.”


    Jiang Yuan sighed, “Otherwise, what, go into business or start apany?”


    Thinking about the bnce in his bank ount, Jiang Yuan found it uninteresting.


    Moreover, he wasn’t really interested in doing business.


    Like most Jiang Vige People, being andlord for a long time, watching tenantse with hope and leave in exhaustion, was sometimes quite saddening.


    The most miserable businessmen were those who seemed shrewd, and indeed were very shrewd, yet after all their calctions and strategic nning, still ended up with a loss that even their grandmother’s home couldn’t make up for.


    Although Wu Jun didn’t have much money, he could still imagine the feelings of the Jiang Vige People, “When you have free time, wouldn’t it be nice to just rest and rx?”


    “I don’t have free time,” Jiang Yuan spread his hands, “If I had, I would’ve sentenced that guy who loves to kick his legs while walking to another seven years.”


    Wu Jun’s thoughts were immediately dragged away, “Don’t mention it, when I was younger, our bureau had someone who did gait analysis too.


    But his main focus was on footprints, better soft ones, after the suspect ran away, through the crime scene investigation, we could determine his walking posture and traits.


    Sometimes even directly following the footprints…”


    Jiang Yuan listened without saying a word, he also knew a bit about the technology, but it had be practically useless.


    Nowadays, not to mention the cities, even in towns and viges, the main roads are all hardened surfaces.


    Most people have tiled or wooden flooring in their rooms, and even the courtyards are much the same.


    It can be said, relying on soft mushy ground footprints to track a perpetrator is bing increasingly difficult to use with the expansion of infrastructure.


    Jiang Yuan continued chatting with Wu Jun, then turned the video back on to watch.


    Huang Qiangmin’s call came through opportunely:


    “Jiang Yuan, take another trip to Longli County,” Huang Qiangmin said cheerfully, “There’s been a murder in their rural area, the scene is covered in blood and no clues to be found.


    It’s been almost two days, go have a look.”


    Jiang Yuan uttered a surprised “Huh?” and repeated, “Go to Longli County?”


    The captain of the Longli County criminal police, Hou Lejia, didn’t get along too well with Huang Qiangmin, and whenever they met, they would snipe at each other, moreover, Jiang Yuan had just returned from the city, and Huang Qiangmin wasn’t keen on letting him go out again so soon…


    Huang Qiangmin coughed twice and said, “After all, it’s a homicide case, and if we can’t solve it now, it’ll be more troublesometer.”


    After giving a few more details, he hung up the call.


    Getting to his feet, Jiang Yuan picked up his keys with a bit of perplexity, “Master, I guess I’ll be heading to Longli County today.


    Captain Huang didn’t say…”


    “He’s sold you at a good price,” Wu Jun understood all too well, unsurprisingly, “Faced with a homicide and no clues after two days, they’re bound to be panicking.


    When they panic, they’ll offer a lot, they definitely agreed to give Captain Huang quite a bit.”


    “What can Longli County offer?” Jiang Yuan wondered.


    “Even if it’s a dog swap, it’s not a bad deal,” Wu Jun said, “Hou Lejia really treasures their Heizi, you usually can’t borrow him for regr cases.”


    “Don’t we have dogs too?”


    Wu Jun nced at Jiang Yuan, “Heizi is really quite impressive, seems noticeably smarter than our Dazhuang.


    Alright, if you’ve agreed to go, hurry up, or it’ll be night by the time you get there.”


    “Then I’ll call Wang Zhong toe along.” Jiang Yuan didn’t want to go alone, but since Mu Zhiyang’s injury hadn’t healed, he could only ask Wang Zhong to join him.
