Chapter 895 - 833: Picking the Big One
"Doctor Jiang, these cases all involve footprint evidence!"
Ni Cha personally carried a file box and with a "thud," placed it on the table.
After the live broadcast arrest and the experience of several murder cases, the confidence of the Dama Police Station in Jiang Yuan has reached an unprecedented level. However, their confidence in Jiang Yuan is still mostly focused on footprints and bloodstains.
That’s because what Jiang Yuan demonstrated in Malaysia were mainly these two capabilities. His skills in areas like Forensic Anthropology, Legal Botany, and forensic sketch, though demonstrated, were not as direct.
From the perspective of Ni Cha and others, naturally, they wanted to use Jiang Yuan’s strongest techniques.
On the other hand, there were just too many murder cases involving footprint evidence.
This is actually the biggest advantage of solving cases with footprints. A person can avoid leaving fingerprints by wearing gloves and avoid leaving hair and dander by wearing a head cover, but how can one completely eliminate footprints?
With the technology available now, even on a tile floor, a static cling film can capture a footprint much clearer than a regular photo.
The Dama Police Force naturally also collects footprints. Although they collect footprints for shoe print comparison, in larger cases, this step is necessary.
In fact, like in our domestic cases, most of the cases in Malaysia are simple and direct. Many times, the suspect is caught on the spot; a slightly more complicated scenario is the suspect being captured nearby during an escape. In such cases, comparing the suspect’s footprints is often valuable.
