?407: Chapter 374: Capturing Someone (Ask for Monthly Pass)   407: Chapter 374: Capturing Someone (Ask for Monthly Pass)                                   “Director Guan, Director Huang, Captain Jiang, the criminal is on the fourth floor above us.”


    Standing at the base of a four-story building, the criminal investigators had already sealed off all the surrounding intersections, including a handshake building very close to the guesthouse inside the building, with someone lying in ambush in each corridor.


    After witnessing the murderer’s outstanding bncing skills, it would be foolish not to realize that this building was the escape route he left for himself.


    The Director of Ningtai County Bureau, Guan Xi, stared intently at the four-story building ahead andmanded calmly, “First and foremost, we must ensure the safety of the people’s lives.


    Prioritize evacuating the neighboring residents to ensure their safety before making the arrest!”


    “Yes.” The officers standing beside Guan Xi responded in unison.


    “Alright, from here on, Director Huang, Captain Huang willmand.


    I won’t interfere with chatter.” Even as the Director, he couldn’t avoid being influenced by the atmosphere on site and didn’t dare to give a lengthy speech at this moment, so he handed themand back to Huang Qiangmin.


    Huang Qiangmin expressed his thanks, then started giving orders in a low voice.


    No matter how clever the criminal’s tricks were, once they were exposed, there was no more intrigue left.


    After determining the time and ce of the criminal’s departure, under theprehensive surveince of Ningtai, he was nothing more than an over-thirty-year-old boy, taking taxis, staying in guesthouses alone, the kind who would take the high-speed rail home alone in the evening.


    Wu Junhao’s first team quietly dressed in stab-proof vests at the corner, picking up steel forks,ssos, and steels.


    From the information they received, the criminal this time was clearly a tough nut to crack.


    And to deal with a tough nut, even Wu Junhao’s bulldoze team didn’t have to fight head-on.


    Soft weapons were the best assistants when dealing with tough nuts.


    Just like the masters in “Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness,” no matter how tough the shing sounded, a few fishings thrown over would immediately leave them with no choice but to be captured.


    Thessos and steels used by the police also had a simr ingenious effect.


    In an open area, with several people cooperating, once thrown, no matter if you were physically strong, had rigid limbs, or advanced techniques, you only ended up with several big men pinning you down and handcuffing you.


    And behind Wu Junhao’s first team, there were two more teams, entering from the fire escape and another corridor, as a contingency n.


    Jiang Yuan just stood at ease behind the leaders, watching as the criminal investigators entered in single file.


    The current case was somewhatplicated, but in the end, it had entered normal procedures.


    Now, all that was left was to wait for the criminal to be caught and brought to justice…


    Bang!


    A loud noise came first as a chair was thrown down from the fourth floor.


    Then, a figure was seen leaping out of a fourth-floor window.


    Thud.


    A slightly dull sound followed swiftly.


    The policemen below stood in stunned silence for a moment before surrounding the area.


    Huang Qiangmin’s brow furrowed even more tightly: “Is this a case of a cornered dog leaping over a wall?”


    “Headfirst.” Jiang Yuan recalled the criminal’s posture just now and said, “With that posture, he’s definitely not going to survive.”


    “Suicide?” Huang Qiangmin was greatly shocked.


    Although their purpose in capturing criminals was to send them to the execution grounds, it was still very rare for one to choose to end their own life during the capture process.


    As for the possibility of homicide—briefly recalling the events that had just unfolded, first throwing a chair and then leaping out the window…within such a short amount of time, to do all this and subdue a physically strong man, throwing him out the window, was highly unlikely.


    Soon after, Wu Junhao, having rushed into the room, also called: “The criminal must have jumped down on his own, there’s no one else in the room.”


    “Secure the scene.” Huang Qiangmin put down his phone, looked at Jiang Yuan, and asked, “Will you conduct the investigation?”


    Jiang Yuan responded affirmatively, and then said, “I’ll look at the body first, then go to the room.”


    “Okay,” Huang Qiangmin felt somewhat relieved.


    Director Guan Xi, standing beside him, let out a long sigh.


    He had been looking forward to seeing this murder casee to a perfect close today.


    If all went well, everybody could head home for the New Year with peace of mind.


    However, the suicide of the suspect did not mean that there was any problem with the investigation.


    It wasn’t surprising that a murderer made yet another frustrating decision.


    Jiang Yuan put on a mask and a head covering, then walked over to the body of the now deceased, who had previously been the suspect, while wearing gloves.


    The impact from a four-story fall was enough to kill the suspect on the spot.


    And because the body hadnded head first, the impact evident at the scene far exceeded that of a fall from four stories.


    “Help me take fingerprints,” Jiang Yuan called for Mu Zhiyang to assist after enough photos were taken, and took prints from all ten fingers.


    He didn’t need anyone’s help to mark characteristic points on the PAD and match the deceased’s identity.


    “Li Yunhu.


    Male, 35 years old, served two prison sentences for inflicting serious injury, extortion…”


    Jiang Yuan read off a few key points while looking at the PAD.


    Mu Zhiyang continued to record and after a while, seeing that Jiang Yuan showed no sign of speaking further, asked, “Does this mean that the previous case is also closed?”


    “Not necessarily,” Jiang Yuan replied, to Mu Zhiyang’s surprise.


    Mu Zhiyang: “But…


    the murderer is dead, could there be an aplice?”


    “It’s not a matter of aplices,” Jiang Yuan shook his head: “Two out-of-townerse to Ningtai County to kill each other near the New Year, what was the motive?”


    The issue of motive had always been a problem in this case.


    The so-called three essentials for solving a case are motive, method, and timeline.


    The initial victim in the bar was thought to be involved in a contract killing, but with the suicide of the murderer, even this motive became doubtful.


    Because in a case of contract killing, once it goes to court, it’s handled as a joint crime: the employer is the principal offender, and the murderer is the essory.


    From this perspective, the murderer actually had a higher chance of avoiding the death penalty.


    For a murderer who had served two prison sentences, some legal knowledge should be expected.


    He would know that being hired to kill someone would most likely avoid a death sentence.


    So why would he choose to jump from the building in desperation?


    Jiang Yuan briefly conducted an exterior examination of the body, then stood up and went to examine the room on the fourth floor.


    Soon, Wu Jun arrived at the scene with the vehicle for transporting the corpse.


    Jiang Yuan came down the stairs again, helping to load the body onto the car.


    As the door was about to close, he whispered, “Master, take off the corpse’s pants and take a look.”


    Wu Jun had just taken off his gloves to do a little tampering but upon hearing that, he put them back on and began unfastening the corpse’s belt while asking, “What are you looking to find?”


    Jiang Yuan said, “I saw adult diapers in the room where the deceased stayed.”


    Wu Jun was momentarily stunned before realizing, “dder atrophy?


    Was this guy on drugs?”


    dder atrophy is amon side effect of certain drugs, severe cases can shrink it by 90%, and for a dder with a normal capacity of about 500 milliliters, a 90% reduction essentially renders it unusable, thus necessitating alternatives like adult diapers.


    From a detective’s standpoint, seeing adult diapers leads one first to think of detainees and to engage in human interaction with them.


    “That’s the spection.” Jiang Yuan pressed on the deceased’s dder area several times to no avail.


    Meanwhile, Wu Jun carefully scanned the arms and legs of the body and took multiple samples.


    “Doesn’t seem like he reached the point of needing injections.


    Was this guy using ketamine?” Wu Jun mused.


    Jiang Yuan could not answer, but from another perspective, a murderer with a history of drug use had even less reason to jump to his death.
