Chapter 762 - 705: From Nothing to Something
The suspect left behind two crime scenes.
One was the residence of the burned victim, and the other was the room rented by the murderer to observe the victim’s residence.
The room that had burned was inevitably limited in what could be investigated, so Jiang Yuan chose to inspect the room rented by the murderer first.
There were still some things in this room. After all, even though the murderer made some preparations, he was forced to leave and inevitably left behind some items, including traces of daily life.
If it were an ordinary suspect, with these items, it would be easy to determine their identity, and then it would just be a typical pursuit and capture operation. There was no need for an expert of Jiang Yuan’s caliber to be involved.
LV5 crime scene investigation is an explosive presence on a national level. Most provincial investigation experts peak at LV3, with only a very few reaching LV4, who are considered top experts in their province. On a national level, those who reach LV5 are rare. In most of the thirty-some provinces and regions, such resources are absent, found only in places like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong, and it’s uncertain where these few might be employed, whether they are touring the nation, or even retired.
Despite how impressive Qi Changye’s department might seem, even the most elite department has limited resources, and this includes human resources.
In fact, because they do not handle social case investigations and do not conduct as many scene investigations as the police, they simply cannot afford to maintain especially elite scene investigation experts. At most, they borrow them when needed.
Experts at the LV5 level would not let their talents go to waste. It’s difficult to keep such experts without utilizing them, just like Jiang Yuan in Ningtai County. If Huang Qiangmin didn’t proactively offer his services, sooner or later, someone else would no doubt borrow and lose him.
The murderer rented an apartment. The first four floors downstairs were a shopping mall, with an old-fashioned tower above with over twenty floors.
