Chapter 867 - 805: Depicted a Murderer
"Check the case files and evidence for these cases, will you?"
Jiang Yuan picked out a few cases and had Lei Xin go look for the materials. Having worked on a greater number of cold cases now, he had developed a different understanding of them.
The challenge of a cold case is not solely reflected in the nature of the case or the type of evidence, but also in how comprehensive the evidence is, and whether the evidence collection was thorough.
To put it bluntly, some cold cases were ruined by some idiots. But faced with such cold cases, you’re absolutely powerless.
Jiang Yuan was quite familiar with the Criminal Police Team of Qianjin District, which was considered top-notch in Qinghe City. However, even for a team of this caliber, it was quite difficult to completely eliminate the presence of idiots. By having Lei Xin sift through the cases, Jiang Yuan hoped to find one that was relatively less challenging to solve, or at least appeared to be.
As for actively seeking out difficult cases, that would be like treating the members of the Cold Case Squad, the criminal police team, and even the entire police force of several hundred people as if they didn’t matter—if there were the influence of politics, that would be an irresistible force; if not, it would just be pure folly.
Lei Xin led his group directly to the archives and evidence rooms.
The cases from the Qianjin District Bureau were numerous all year round, and naturally, their evidence room wasn’t as orderly as those on television. Of course, the hardware of the evidence room was definitely orderly, especially the big stainless steel cabinets at the front, which even looked a bit cool.
However, the evidence stuffed inside the cabinets was a bit disorganized. "One case, one cabinet" is a good system, as long as the number of cabinets can keep up with the growing number of cases.
If it can’t keep up and the cabinets are filled, then the only solution is to stuff in more.
