I, the outlaw, was caught again

Chapter 2: Solve the case within a deadline!

Three o'clock in the afternoon, outside the film and television base.

Taoyuan Road is no longer as deserted as when Xu Sheng came here.

At this time, the crime scene had been surrounded by police.

Li Sheng, captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, was looking at the blocked alley in front of him and at the group of policemen wearing masks, bending over, searching for clues in the smelly garbage dump.

The alley was very small, only about ten meters long, and it was a dead end. There were trash cans in every corner, and the garbage was overflowing and flowing onto the ground.

The air was full of flies, buzzing.

The foul smell made people feel like fainting and their trachea felt uncomfortable.

A group of policemen gathered in the alley, all of them stepping on the foul-smelling water on the ground and searching through all kinds of garbage in an attempt to find clues.

The entrance was surrounded by cordon tape, and a bunch of police were constantly patrolling around.

Li Sheng stood up and sighed.

"It's been a day. Have you found anything?"

"No."

A policeman shook his head and said.

A full day and a half has passed since the case was filed in the early morning of the 2nd.

But unfortunately, although a lot of information was found, no clues were found.

The victim had only a head, which had begun to rot and had signs of being gnawed by rats.

A face full of gaps!

Finally, it was sewn to the dog's neck with needle and thread.

Become a dog with a human head, showing a stiff smile to people
"The face was stiff, and there was fear in the eyes, but there was also a smile. The two conflicted, and the smile was most likely caused by the murderer after the death."

Li Sheng recalled the crime scene and fell silent.

"What on earth did the murderer want to do!?"

"He wants to make a head smile?"

"Is there a conflict between the victim and the murderer?"

The crime scene was a garbage dump, and in the September weather, bacteria multiplied rapidly, and maggots appeared on the head at an extremely fast rate.

The stench of a rotting corpse is so strong that it makes people want to kneel down and strangle themselves to death!

But unfortunately, this is a garbage can, and the smells are mixed and covered up. A normal person would just leave immediately after throwing away the garbage, and would not search any corners at all.

Therefore, it was not discovered until Xu Sheng pulled it out from a deep corner.

Coupled with the presence of various garbage, the clues at the crime scene were almost destroyed.

As a result, the police searched for a whole day and found nothing!
Trash, trash everywhere.

There are tens of thousands of pieces of trash in more than a dozen green trash cans, and there is only one clue among them, and there is also the risk of it being destroyed.
How to check this?
Can't even find a clue!
As for monitoring
In 03, before the establishment of the 'Golden Crow' system, there was not much surveillance in the capital of the Eastern Kingdom!
"What do the higher-ups say now?"

Li Sheng took a deep breath. This day and night of worry had made him look several years older.

At the age of nearly 50, staying up all night for a few days can really be fatal.

"The higher-ups mean that this is an extremely serious crime and they are determined to solve it."

Xiao Zhang, the apprentice in charge of information work, shook his head and said, just a short time after being promoted to a full-time employee.

This case is so egregious.
Not solving the case would be a slap in the face of our own police officers!
But if it breaks, it will be very difficult.
"The construction site nearby and the real estate company that is preparing to sell the buildings are currently negotiating with the police."

"If I'm not mistaken"

As Xiao Zhang spoke, he uttered a word that Li Sheng least wanted to hear.

"Solve the case within a time limit!"

Hearing these four words, Li Sheng's heart sank.

Deadline to solve the case
These four words can almost cost the criminal police their life!
Right.

The surrounding construction sites are now also being temporarily searched by the police, and normal construction will definitely be affected.

The few buildings that have just started to sell
When the buyer of the property came over to take a look, he was shocked to see that the door to his house was blocked by the police!
Who would buy this!?
Even those who had just reached an agreement to buy a house immediately gave up the purchase after learning that someone had died in front of the community.

There's more to it than that.

Not far away is the film and television base, where many popular stars from the East gather!

Hearing that there was a murderer hiding nearby, the agents did not dare to let them show up in public too often, resulting in many contracts being at risk of breach of contract.

Moreover, the film and television base has no shortage of reporters, media and paparazzi.
Now that the case has been exposed, fans, real estate, celebrities, reporters, and public opinion are all putting pressure on the Criminal Investigation Detachment!
Moreover, as long as the case remains unsolved, the losses caused by the reputation of several places, including previous publicity and advertising, will start at hundreds of thousands!
In 03, hundreds of thousands of yuan were owed every day, and Xu Sheng only owed yuan.
Especially these days, it takes a long time to solve a case. It is normal to take half a month or a month to solve a case!

How much indirect loss will this cause?

So, the deadline for solving the case
It makes sense. "Where's the medical examiner?"

"Han Yang, when will the forensic doctor arrive?"

Li Sheng felt very aggrieved, and he asked his other apprentice.

For a case of this level, without a forensic doctor, solving the case within a deadline is like a death sentence for ordinary criminal police!

It would be easy if there were a huge amount of resources piled up.

But Jiangsan City has no resources at all!

"The director of the forensic department is looking for someone familiar to apply for a secondment. I estimate that it will take two or three days at the earliest."

Han Yang sighed and said.

Forensic doctor?

There is no forensic doctor in Jiangsan City!
Don’t think that forensic medicine is very common. Nowadays, there are not much more of them than giant pandas!
Some well-developed prefecture-level cities may have one or two, and it is normal for county-level cities to have none. In remote prefecture-level cities, if a murder occurs, they have to find other cities for secondment!

If we go back a little further in time, to the 1980s or 1990s.

In remote villages, no one even knows what a forensic doctor is!
There will still be a shortage of forensic scientists twenty years later. Even with a mature public security system, there will be only more than 10,000 such scientists in the entire country, including those who are interns, employed, still studying, preparing to resign, or preparing to change majors, not to mention the number going back twenty years.

In 23 years, in places with average population and development, there are only six or seven such cities. Even in remote county-level cities, it would be a blessing to have one or two such cities.

You know, there are not many people who sign up for the forensic profession, and it takes eight years to train someone.

Moreover, the psychological quality of the employees is tested, and most people quit after one year.
And now, Jiangsan City has just squeezed into the bottom of the fourth-tier cities this year. And because of its sparse population and relatively good public security, the forensic doctors have been waiting in line for arrangement, but have not arrived yet. However, no matter whether they will come in the future, they are definitely not here now.

"It'll only be two days before you come!?"

Li Sheng's voice was a little high-pitched, and his face looked more aggrieved.

"Yes, there are four medical examiners in the three neighboring cities, but they are all busy investigating serious cases in the city and cannot be freed."

"Those far away are in contact."

Han Yang sighed. He graduated from the police academy and knew the importance of forensic medicine.

But unfortunately, due to the limitations of the times, for city centers that are far away, the forensic doctor would have to waste half a day just to travel by car.

Not to mention going through various secondment procedures.

Even so, someone still has to be willing to lend it to you!
After all, a case lasts for as short as half a month and normally a month. What if the forensic doctor leaves during this period and a case happens in your family right after?
However, the provincial department has some backing, so the forensic doctor will come, but it will be slow.

Hearing this, Li Sheng sighed and fell into deep thought.

Han Yang hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Captain Li, I do know a forensic classmate who is currently in Jiangsan City, but I don't know if he is willing to help."

Forensic fellow student?

Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Han Yang with shining eyes.

"Why didn't you take out this treasure earlier?!"

"Where is he!?"

There are many hidden talents in Jiangsan City, and there is also a wild forensic doctor?
This thing is a treasure to the police. Li Sheng only regretted that he didn't know it before.
"His identity is a bit special, so using him involves some risk."

Han Yang was still a little hesitant.

"Stop talking nonsense. What time is it now? We are going to have to smash our heads against the deadline to solve the case. Why would we care about the risks?"

Li Sheng cursed and swore. He just wanted a forensic doctor now.

"If you dare to say it, I will dare to use it!"

"Where is he?"

"In Jiangsan City." Han Yang said.

"Yes, you just said this." Li Sheng nodded.

Unexpectedly, Han Yang was at a loss for words with his next sentence.

"Criminal Investigation Brigade." Han Yang said silently.

Put together, it means Jiangsan City Criminal Investigation Brigade?
Li Sheng was stunned. How could he not know that there was a forensic doctor in his team?
"His name is Xu Sheng."

Han Yang kindly reminded.

Li Sheng;?
Li Sheng was silent.

He looked at Han Yang for a while, then spoke seriously.

"Is he still living in the detention center?"
