<h4>Chapter 1416: Chapter 1340: Then I’ll Just Move in with You</h4>


    Another 11 teams were dispatched to various locations, and Jiang Yuan finally went back to rest.


    At this point, it was naturally far past the normal off-duty hours, but the detective teams sent out rested eventer.


    As for the detectives from the Criminal Police Brigade of the Anwan City Bureau who had not yet been assigned tasks, they were making the most of their time to say goodbye to their families...


    As for Jiang Yuan’s current progress, it’s clear to anyone with discerning eyes that Jiang Yuan has no bottleneck in fingerprint analysis. With so many unresolved cases, even if only one percent aligns with Jiang Yuan’s investigative direction, this side would need groups of people dispatched.


    Jiang Yuan’s mood was quite high-spirited too.


    After working with fingerprints for so long, developing Level 3 features has significantly extended his range.


    If the fingerprint skills of Level 3 or Level 4 still fall within the understanding of ordinary fingerprint experts, Level 6 and even higher fingerprint skills have already entered a new realm, involving research achievements from the past 20 years or so.


    Of course, this is also due to equipment limitations. The high-definition spectral imaging device Jiang Yuan is using now is still standardmercial-grade; ten years ago, such research might have involved scanning electron microscopes, which were beyond the means or capabilities of typical universities.


    And slightly surpassingmon-sense technology happens to be excellent for capturing criminals.


    In the next few days, Jiang Yuan, driven by inspiration, simply activated skill +1 and began researching various new fingerprint-rted technologies.


    The first introduction was thetent fingerprint visualization technology based on nanofluorescent materials.


    Although the word "nanotechnology" has beenmonly misused by fraudsters in recent years, in realboratories, nanotechnology is slowly bing grounded.


    It’s not as magical as rumored, but certain nanomaterials do indeed have better optical, electronic, and surface modifiability; inyman’s terms, shine light on them, and they brighten, apply something on them, and they brighten, bake them, and they brighten.


    When fingerprints be visible, they can naturally be used forparisons.


    Jiang Yuan chose nanofluorescent materials coated with N-acetylcysteine as his first choice. The reason for this choice was twofold: one, it was suitable for stics, just right for a case, and two, there were readily avable materials for purchase.


    Anwan City Bureau was responsible for the purchases.


    Soon, two experts from the ministry’s physical evidence identification center arrived upon hearing the news.


    They were originally responsible for promoting various fingerprint identification technologies, but within the system, without significant achievements, the detectives who were extremely busy were toozy to apply new technologies. Only when old technologies didn’t work would they consider new ones.


    After all, for the vast majority of cases nowadays, old technologies are sufficient. To poprize new technologies truly, either criminals need to improve their personal skills, forcing the police to enhance technological standards, or new technologies need to demonstrate extraordinary breakthroughs or high efficiency.


    The most typical example is DNA technology, which is more revolutionary than fingerprint technology. Thetter took too long to be widespread and improved; during the nonputer era, just searching a fingerprint database consumed untold amounts of technicians’ and experts’ time.


    Experts from the physical evidence identification center also understood this, so upon hearing that Jiang Yuan was interested in their promoted new technology, they immediately came to visit.


    No matter how good the technology is, it needs someone to use it to demonstrate breakthroughs and high efficiency. Moreover, merely using new technologies to match fingerprints, speaking from a promotional perspective, cannotpare in effectiveness to solving major cases with new technologies.


    Jiang Yuan’s current fame is also due to solving cases rather than technological breakthroughs.


    Purely iming good technology, which police bureau doesn’t have a few? But saying how good to what extent, why it’s better than others, is extremely difficult to quantify.


    Not so with solving cases. Only a few individuals across the country can repeatedly crack major and unresolved cases, and even fewer within the same timeframe.


    Anwan City Bureau organized a solemn wee ceremony for the expertsing from the ministry. Not only because they were from the ministry, but also because the two brought many rted materials, letting the Anwan City Bureau’s strained budget breathe a sigh of relief.


    The two experts were very excited as well, slightly coordinating with the bureau’s activities before joining Jiang Yuan in theboratory.


    Altogether, in theb, they experimented by swapping materials continually for two days.


    Meanwhile, the teams dispatched by Liu Zhuangshi were increasing in number.


    Jiang Yuan and others attempted to extract fingerprints from various materials like stic, currency, synthetic fabrics, and with three people working together, the results were naturally remarkable.


    Liu Zhuangshi was both in pain and ecstasy.


    These were technologies he usually could not ess or borrow, and now having experts work for him free of charge, or even ndestinely, was a joy, but the expenses were indeed significant too.


    Not to mention, just the various nanomaterials used by Jiang Yuan and the ministry experts were themselves custom ordered from externalpanies. Their prices were considerable, not to mention that increasing quantities also increased costs because they couldn’t keep up with demand.


    Additionally, Jiang Yuan took advantage of the help avable to attempt replicating some mon" materials mentioned in papers, such as nanoparticles co-doped with Li, Na, and K elements, and moreplex rare earth doped elements like Eu, Sm, Mn nanoparticles, and so on...


    All these imaging agents, ultimately, were to make fingerprints shine, much like humanity’s current way of obtaining energy is boiling water.


    However, the costs of making fingerprints shine vary wildly depending on the method used.


    Weekend.


    Liu Zhuangshi sat in the Bureau office and refused to leave.

    The director saw him and was quite pained, knowing exactly why he was there, helplessly saying: "You spend recklessly, you know our Anwan City is a poor city..."


    Smack!


    Liu Zhuangshi picked up a package of files off the floor and ced them on the director’s desk.


    "What’s this?" The director asked, startled, lifting his teacup for a tactical drink.


    "The 617 and 1012 cases have been solved; this is basic information on some involved personnel and some case-rted matters. Once you’ve reviewed it here, I’ll send it over to the prosecutor’s office." Liu Zhuangshi said, sitting back in the chair, stretching tactically.


    In China, numerical names are the most formidable, and with the two case names Liu Zhuangshi mentioned, the director recalled them after a few seconds.


    The director retrieved the materials from the desk and asked: "Is this the case where the injury ran away identally?"


    "Yes, people who went camping together fought over spots or something, with one party severely injuring the other and then fleeing. Weter visited many of the nearby camping enthusiasts, showing them sketches of portraits, but got no results." Liu Zhuangshi paused, then said, "Jiang Yuan found several suspects based on fingerprints; we checked, and confirmed one."


    "How confident are you?" The director asked professionally.


    "Absolutely!" Liu Zhuangshi said: "When our people went to his home, the other party immediately knew what it was about. They even said they thought we should have arrived sooner..."


    "Based on fingerprints?" The director asked.


    "Yes, both parties had scuffles during the fight, leaving fingerprints on the clothes. But we’ve been extracting iplete fingerprints these past few years, unable to pin down suspects." Liu Zhuangshi paused, then said, "Jiang Yuan extracted them with new technology."


    Director: "So you’re here righteously asking for funding?"


    Liu Zhuangshi: "My people are all dispatched, following up on 4 cases at once."


    The director slowly nodded: "How much do you need?"


    Liu Zhuangshi handed over a small note.


    The director opened his mouth wide, looking at Liu Zhuangshi.


    Liu Zhuangshi shrugged: "No matter what, having spent this much, if you don’t give it, I’ll just stay here in your office..."


    Director: "You’re asking for way too much..."


    "If necessary, I have a n." Liu Zhuangshi said in a low voice: "You can contact the criminal police teams of a few other cities..."


    "I’ve already tried that trick." The director said calmly.


    "You’ve tried it?" Liu Zhuangshi was surprised, realizing the director’s implication: "You already requested funds from other criminal police teams before Jiang Yuan agreed? You’ve... that’s fraud."


    "Jiang Yuan analyzed their fingerprints, didn’t he? As long as fingerprints were analyzed, it’s not fraud," the director firmly shifted the topic, saying: "In conclusion, that trick won’t work."


    Liu Zhuangshi didn’t care and sat down: "I’m not returning anyway; without funding, thosepanies will trouble me. Director... Look at these cases, what do you say..."


    "I’ll think about a solution, think of a solution." The director still focused on reassurance, carefully allotting some funds, finally sending Liu Zhuangshi away.


    Watching Liu Zhuangshi leave, the director didn’t hesitate any longer, ordering subordinates to organize the files, then hurriedly headed to the city center.


    Soon, the courtyard of the city government was echoing with a mythical kind of superstition.


    "No matter what, having spent so much, if you don’t give it, I’ll just stay here in your office..."


    "You can contact the criminal police teams of a few other cities..."


    "As long as fingerprints were analyzed, it’s not fraud..."
