<h4>Chapter 1423: Chapter 1347: Possibility</h4>


    Jiang Yuan had already read through the autopsy report and various scene photos. He summarized in words: "Both victims were seated in the back seat with their hands tied behind them. Due to the concentration of the fire on the upperyer, their heads were severely burned, and the skin on the upper body was practically burned off. However, in the first autopsy, it was still easy to see that the fatal wound on the upper body of both victims was the heart—one stab per person, very precise."


    Jiang Yuan: "I reviewed the photos of the rib bones after de-boning of the two deceased. Both had no knife marks on their ribs. This indicates that the killer inserted the knife very precisely between the gaps of the ribs. This is not just precision, it may also rte to the technique and experience."


    The few people present nodded as they listened.


    Talking about the technique of killing, it’s a form of murder technique, with countless insights umted over thousands of years. Just the task of killing with one stab, those who act recklessly without understanding can’t find the urate position, and those who understand butck experience also face difficulties in operation on-site.


    It’s like killing pigs every year in the countryside. Even a very skilled butcher often touches the spot before stabbing, making it easier to avoid bones and good meat, and can stab the pig dead in one go. Because the pig is tied and controlled, even if the butcher’s hand touches the ce to stab, it can’t resist.


    Simrly, the bodies of the two victims were tied and controlled...


    This suggests that the killer was at least experienced, perhaps someone with a profession simr to a butcher, who understood killing.


    The so-called clean and swift stab requires many stabs to practice. For example, not just killing pigs in the countryside, even killing chickens, although one only grabs the chicken and slits its throat, in theory, anyone should be able to finish off a chicken with a sharp knife if they find the right spot. In reality, beginners rarely seed in killing a chicken for the first time.


    Let alone little girls; there are many big boys who can’t bring themselves to do it. Even in schools with biologybs, you can see many students unable to kill frogs, twist small white mice to death, or finish off small fish...


    The civilized atmosphere of modern society has significantly reduced the barbarism of modern society, making the characteristics of murderers increasingly rare.


    Jiang Yuan counted on his fingers and said: "One stab at the heart is the murder method. Binding the victim’s hands is the modus operandi. The binding method is also characteristic; the killer wrapped the deceased’s pinky tightly. I think we can start from these three points to see if we can find connections with other cases."


    Liu Zhuangshi hesitated beside him for a moment and raised his hand: "Regarding the connection of cases, we did think in a simr direction at that time, but did not find any simr murder cases."


    "You didn’t know at the time that this was a case of taxi robbery," Liu Jinghui said tactfully, "You probably considered identifying the victims and the vehicle identity first, before considering connections to simr murder cases."


    "That’s roughly how it was." Liu Zhuangshi admitted without much embarrassment, as it was the routine procedure.


    "Having no simr murder cases doesn’t mean there are no simr cases," Liu Jinghui smiled, "In taxi robbery cases, the perpetrators themselves have esction; had you known the case type at the time, you might have considered that taxi robbery and murder is often the perpetrator’s final stage, and prior to this, they may havemitted multiple robberies without murder."


    Liu Jinghui’s words not only made Liu Zhuangshi’s eyes brighten but also did not provoke annoyance, fully demonstrating the high-quality traits of a provincial department senior officer.


    Liu Zhuangshi slowly nodded: "When handling this case, I was still working at the municipal bureau and have asked someone to contact the police officers who handled it back then. The responsible colleagues have retired... Considering from the perspective of taxi robbery cases, we can start by pulling a case list from that year to see if anything can be discovered."


    Liu Jinghui nodded slightly, thinking Liu Zhuangshi was indeed deserving of being a leader within the Criminal Police Brigade; in just a short statement, he managed to clear responsibility, exin the situation, and express personal vigor, showcasing strong leadership.


    Director Wu Jingwei, seeing the discussion reached a conclusion, decided: "Let’s move forward ording to this n, and review the cases before and after this one..."

    "I’d like to add something." Liu Jinghui cleared his throat and said: "Some perpetrators from simr cases back then were not only involved in car robbery but also fencing stolen goods. Those with a ck Society background could be questioned. Since these individuals were adept inmitting crimes, and we suspect they have relevant experience, they certainly weren’t living in a vacuum at the time, and there were definitely people who knew them in the past environment."


    Wu Jingwei nodded slowly: "This aspect is indeed where we were less thorough; there were issues due to inadequate meticulousness in handling the case... However, fifteen years ago, if these criminals were merely involved in robbery and fencing, they would have been released by now. This point... Xiao Li, organize a team from the bureau, liaise with colleagues at the judicial bureau, and alsomunicate with subordinate district bureaus and police stations, to see if we can find as many former offenders to question."


    If proceeding with Liu Jinghui’s final proposal, it shows the Anwan City Bureau’s investigative judgment in this homicide case was insufficient, at least it shows they were either not attentive enough or not smart enough.


    Nheless, given it’s a case fifteen years ago, if speaking of policing and investigative capabilities of the two major super cities fifteen years ago, there would be relevant matters, but in ces like Pingzhou Anwan, it relied mostly on old-school detective methods; single-dimensional investigation wasmon,ckingprehensive consideration, much like they didn’t attend the Criminal Police Academy back then, which wasn’t due to ack of will.


    Director Wu Jingwei felt that he needed to acknowledge the error in front of Jiang Yuan, but he swiftly mask it with work arrangements.


    Jiang Yuan and others followed Wu Jingwei’s thoughts and quickly delved into specific details. In a matter of minutes, orders began to beyered down.


    At this time, Huang Qiangmin’s emotions suddenly had some release.


    Among the people present, he was most familiar with Wei Zhenguo, and he was the only police officer who had experienced the entire incident. When the image of today’s task force ovepped with that of the task force from 15 years ago, his psychological burden also increased.


    "Should we notify Captain Wei?" Jiang Yuan walked over to Huang Qiangmin and asked in a low voice.


    Huang Qiangmin was silent for a few seconds and said, "No rush for now."


    "Then I’ll go take a look at the remains." Jiang Yuan prepared to perform a thorough secondary autopsy. Although only skeletal remains were left due to the passage of time, there was still a chance to gain some information.


    Liu Zhuangshi quickly organized a few meeting rooms and had people move in a massive amount of file documents.


    The electronic filing at the Anwan City Bureau started veryte. Finding case information from 15 years ago or even earlier, like fingerprints, could be retrieved from the intr, but finding criminal patterns or tying methods, especially when sifting through minor cases from those years for criminal patterns, required more than just electronic records.


    After all, given the volume of incidents back then, cases of simple taxi driver robberies were given about the same level of attention as cellphone theft cases inter years.


    Liu Zhuangshi was brimming with enthusiasm as he immersed himself in the process of reviewing the old case files.


    Members of Jiang Yuan’s umted Case Team were also brought in to sift through the files together.


    A group of leaders, to show theirmitment, simply stayed at the Criminal Police Brigade, drinking tea and boosting morale.


    ording to their understanding of Jiang Yuan, as long as the task force was set in motion, and Jiang Yuan entered the investigation state, the next step would be a celebration.


    As time ticked away, the taste of the tea became increasingly nd.


    Huang Qiangmin sensed a familiar aura, first had someone change a pot of tea, then said, "We’re not likely to get results today. I think we should stop waiting and get back to other tasks first..."


    "That’ll work." Director Wu stood up and said, "If there’s any development, inform me at once. I’m on standby at any time."


    "Certainly." Huang Qiangmin shook hands with Director Wu and others in turn.


    After seeing everyone off, Huang Qiangmin turned back and found Liu Jinghui, saying, "So many people investigating and we haven’t had any feedback. Where do you think the problem lies?"


    Liu Jinghui, who had been pondering, said, "There could be many scenarios. What worries me the most...is the killer’s significant esction."


    "From what extent, escting to murder?"


    "From non-injurious robbery directly to robbery and murder." Liu Jinghui gave a straightforward answer, then looked at Huang Qiangmin and said, "You lived through that time. When taxi robbery cases were rampant back then, some taxi drivers didn’t even report the robberies because taking a statement takes time, which affects their earnings. Anyway, whether they report it or not..."


    "They couldn’t catch anyone, and even if they did, there was nopensation." Huang Qiangmin added.


    Liu Jinghui nodded, "Let’s assume a scenario where the perpetratormitted non-injurious robberies once or multiple times, and the victims didn’t report them. During one robbery, the victim, Li Huimin, unexpectedly appeared. As a police officer’s family member, her words might have provoked the perpetrator, leading to an esction of the crime..."


    "Ningtai’s taxis have always been avable for carpooling. It’s indeed possible that Li Huimin was unexpectedly in the car. But didn’t you and Jiang Yuan both determine that the killer’s murder technique was skillful and the modus operandi was practiced? If the esction was significant, how did he hone his skills?"


    "If we talk about possibilities, the perpetrator might havemitted other types of crimes like kidnapping, robbery, or homicide and found taxi robbery simpler, thus deciding tomit it. Also..." Liu Jinghui paused and said, "Taxi robbery, in the past, was oftenmitted by freshly released ex-convicts. If the perpetrator had done simr crimes long ago, served time, and then rmitted..."


    Robbing taxis requires no capital, no skills, and doesn’t even require scouting the area. Many ex-convicts, dazed when they first enter society, if they decide tomit crimes for money, would unconsciously choose this pattern.


    From a logical standpoint, Huang Qiangmin admitted that Liu Jinghui’s words made sense, but if the investigation scope had to be adjusted ording to his hypothesis, it meant expanding the types of cases and lengthening the timeline...


    "I don’t want to hear possibilities, I want to hear certainties!" Huang Qiangmin dragged Liu Jinghui back to reality with one sentence.
