<h4>Chapter 605: 550 Chapter: Commando-Style Case Solving</h4><h4></h4>


    Dama’s capital.


    Jiang Yuan took several hours of flight and transfer, and headed straight to the Dama Police Station uponnding.


    Cui Xiaohu, Huang Qiangmin, Ni Cha, and Zhong Renlong apanied him, as well as Chu Guanliang, a liaison officer sent by the Dama embassy. The liaison officer, appointed by the ministry to overseas embassies, had now enforcement authority and focused mainly onmunication. Compared to Cui Xiaohu and the others who had just rushed over from China, the liaison officer Chu Guanliang was more familiar with the localws and cultural environment.


    Local time was 11:30 a.m.


    Jiang Yuan arrived at Marunpo Police Station and saw several officers waiting as he got out of the car.


    Liaison Officer Chu Guanliang greeted everyone with a hint of surprise, while Jiang Yuan simply waited quietly to the side, responding briefly when spoken to.


    After the initial exchanges, Chu Guanliang spoke to Jiang Yuan with an even friendlier tone and said cheerfully, "What we do most here is negotiate the arrest of telmunications fraud gangs. It used to be us pleading with the Dama police force, but now they’re turning to us, and their attitude ispletely different."


    "Working abroad isn’t easy for you all," Cui Xiaohu responded obligingly.


    Chu Guanliang sighed, "Even those few officers we’ve seen just now aren’t easy to meet usually, and they frown upon seeing me, thinking I’m causing them trouble. But there’s nothing I can do, when the task from home presses down, I have to help coordinate..."


    He expressed his feelings briefly, then looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile and said, "Officer Jiang,e by more often when you’re free, to back us up."


    "You’re joking, but I’ll help as much as I can," Jiang Yuan replied, with his emotional intelligence maxed out. While abroad, things were different from back home, and it was better to behave well.


    "Once this case is sessfully resolved and a certain rtionship is established, future exchanges will also be more convenient," Huang Qiangmin added from the side.


    "Indeed..." Chu Guanliang nodded and continued, "Let’s go inside, they must be getting anxious."


    It was 12 p.m.


    The group crowded into theboratory.


    Inside, a team of technicians d in white coats eagerly watched Jiang Yuan.


    Apart from Chu Guanliang and Zhong Renlong, there were also several Dama locals who understood Chinese. Everyone worked together, creating a noisy but efficient atmosphere inside the room.


    "Let’s have fewer people, then we can start the examinations," Jiang Yuan surveyed the surroundings and added, "The foundation of Legal Botany is to count pollen grains, and most importantly, to eliminate contamination. Do we have apletely enclosedboratory?"


    "Yes," responded theboratory supervisor, who had naturally prepared everything. A Trace Evidence Laboratory was not too umon in those times. It might be rare in a county like Ningtai, but not so much in a nation’s capital.


    Others were divided into groups, being pulled into different corners for conversations. Even Huang Qiangmin found himself in a casual chat with a few interested officers— Huang Qiangmin now appeared more like a hardworking and honest man.


    Jiang Yuan, however, inspected theboratory equipment. After ensuring everything was in order, he began the tedious task of counting pollen inside a fume hood after opening the packaging of an evidence bag.


    Several researchers in white coats closely monitored Jiang Yuan’s work.


    There were also experts in botany on the Dama side, but there was less coboration with the police.


    Like botanists in China, the main reason they did not engage in forensic botany was simply because it was too difficult and the rewards were too low.


    There was an overwhelming variety of tropical nts in Dama, not only was species identificationplex, but differentiating the numerous variants was challenging. Ordinary botanists would not willingly choose this as their primary research focus. On the rare asion that someone could, they often didn’t stay in Dama.


    Even when the police sought expertise in this area, experts often scoffed and ridiculed the request.


    Botanists’ parochialism could be even higher than that of giant pandas. Not only are China’s nts different from Dama’s, but even within Dama, nts exhibited regional variations!


    In such an environment, a Chinese botanist helping the Dama police force with botany was almost a joke among professionals. It was not impossible; after all, botanists from the once-great British Empire traveled all over the world, and the most familiar with Dama’s nts could be in London, a im not easily questioned.


    But if they were said to be from China, that would be intolerable.


    Yet, skill gained through external means didn’t follow the same logic. Jiang Yuan wasn’t a real botanist, and he didn’t care about the doubts of an expert not present.


    Level 3 Legal Botany had no regional restrictions or requirements. Utilizing a temporary skill upgrade to Level 4, Jiang Yuan could perform pollen analysis much faster for more than six hours.


    And once such a skill extended its reach globally, it would be incredibly powerful, not just at Level 4, but Level 3 as well.


    Since Jiang Yuan had no lecturing duties while abroad, he familiarized himself with theb’s apparatus and began working at increased speeds, aiming to return home sooner.


    Bag after bag of evidence was rapidly umted.


    Most of the pollen could be identified using apound microscope. Whenever he encountered challenging samples, he simply handed them to an assistant to prepare slides, then projected close-up images for identification.


    Jiang Yuan barely had to move, efficiently directing the process.


    Common florae such as the hibiscus, exotic orchids, ubiquitous Bird of Paradise and purple butterflies, various types of clematis, Rose Mallow, the Rafflesia, and more...


    At 3 p.m.


    Jiang Yuan had inspected and categorized the first victim’s clothing and personal belongings.


    The remaining process wasn’t much different from what he was used to back home, look for satellite images, then set out to find the crime scenes.


    Of course, efficiency could have been slightly improved if he had inspected the evidence of all three victims before searching, but the emotionally intelligent Jiang Yuan decided to first let everyone ease their emotions.


    A convoy of more than a dozen cars set off, drove over 20 kilometers, and arrived near the first scene Jiang Yuan had marked off.


    "We’re here," Jiang Yuan said from an elevated vantage point, seemingly pointing to a location quite casually.


    Soon, he pointed out the second scene.


    The ce where the bodies were ultimately discovered was marked as the third scene.


    Among the apanying officers, there was inevitably suspicion andint, but fortunately, the senior officers were sensible, pressing the officers to search rigorously while also pulling up surveince footage from the surrounding area.


    Before long, an officer found Bao Wenxing’s car in the surveince footage from a nearby chain convenience store.


    This was Bao Wenxing’s first criminal act in Dama, and his familiarity with local roads and traffic rules was clearly much less than in Luo Jin City. He waspletely unaware that some local convenience stores’ external surveince was directly connected to the police force.


    It can only be said that it’s too difficult for a foreigner tomit crimes in a strange city.


    Moreover, this case was different from the unsolved ones in Luo Jin City. Bao Wenxing wasn’t as cautious as he was at home, and he didn’t have the chance to return to the scene for cleanup.


    With the case being fairly recent, a half footprint was indeed found after thorough searches at the two crime scenes.


    This kind of evidence isn’t great in Dama, just as it isn’t reliable in court back home; it’s only useful during the investigation phase.


    But to the Dama Police Force, what they werecking wasn’t evidence.


    What they wanted now was Jiang Yuan!


    20:00 in the evening.


    Jiang Yuanpleted the evidence analysis for the second victim. By this time, it was toote to go to the crime scenes, so Jiang Yuan continued with evidence analysis.


    More than four hourster, the evidence analysis for the third victim was alsopleted.


    This process was much faster than what a regr botanist could achieve, not to mention cross-regional botanical analysis.


    But at this point, Jiang Yuan no longer needed to exin.


    A light sleep.


    The next morning at 7:00, Jiang Yuan got in the car and headed back to the crime scenes once more.


    Zhong Renlong followed him closely, expressing his concern, "God, there’s no need to rush like this. You could rest a bit before continuing with work..."


    "The sooner I finish, the more rxed I’ll be. It’s also too hot," Jiang Yuan said, not wanting to stay longer than necessary. Once arriving, he walked around with a hat on and started pointing out locations.


    All four crime scenes where thest two victims met their unfortunate end were sessively pinpointed by Jiang Yuan.


    This time as well, he didn’t even need to participate in the crime scene investigations and headed back to the vehicle.


    The police in Marunpo no longer had anything to say; Jiang Yuan had proven himself, and while they humbly called him "God" and wanted to offer some local specialties, their gifts were not epted.


    "I would like to see the body of the first victim," Jiang Yuan said upon returning from the crime scenes, making a direct request.


    Zhong Renlong immediately agreed, made a phone call, and soon a familiar technician came to take Jiang Yuan to the forensic autopsy room.


    The victim J was lying in the morgue, slightly decayed, but the moment she faced Jiang Yuan, she immediately gifted a blue dumpling:


    J’s legacy—Indonesian Dialect Level 2: My is one of thenguages of Indonesia. J grew up in Indonesia by her mother’s side. After moving to Dama, her dialect ent caused many inconveniences. J tried to change her ent as much as possible, but she missed her childhood and wished her mother could live well, without worrying too much about her.


    "Is J’s mother doing well?" Jiang Yuan turned and asked the forensic doctor.


    "Not bad, she should be working at a hospital," the forensic doctor said.


    "Then please tell her that J... her pain was slight when she passed away," Jiang Yuan spoke softly.


    The forensic doctor responded and then said, "You could tell her yourself; I can call her over..."


    "No need," Jiang Yuan waved his hand. "I need to return to my country now.
