Chapter 888 - 826 Two Steps Forward
"What’s the situation?" Jiang Yuan was naturally interested.
"The murderer is a colleague of the victim, her suitor. They hadn’t dated, nor was there any intimate relationship. His name was on the list of acquaintances, and he had expressed his admiration for the victim, but because he didn’t have a clear motive for murder and had an alibi, he wasn’t the focus of the investigation. It wasn’t until the theory of a lover’s murder came up that he stood out..." After Zhong Renlong hurriedly reported, he added, "The alibi has since been proven to be fabricated, and the murderer has confessed."
Wang Chuanxing checked the time and said, "Your investigation speed is quite fast."
The implication was that, despite having a list of suspects, they hadn’t delved deeper into the investigation.
Zhong Renlong sighed deeply, "The case shifted directions several times, leading to a significant waste of time and police resources. I feel somewhat ashamed to say it, but... different superintendents have different styles of working."
Wang Chuanxing then smiled again, "A small boat turns swiftly, as they say."
"You could say that’s one reason," Zhong Renlong laughed off, effectively closing the case discussion.
Wang Chuanxing and Mu Zhiyang exchanged glances, both feeling like they wanted to criticize but couldn’t bring themselves to actually do it.
Mainly because they had experienced many major cases, they viewed the handling of these medium and small cases with a certain disdain.
Domestic special homicide teams are often very serious; once an investigation direction is determined, they typically expect a phased conclusion, if not chasing every lead until there are none left. However, for ordinary cases, the attention to detail varies greatly, depending entirely on the personal qualities of the responsible officers.
