Chapter 993 - 929 Mutual Praise
"This case was brilliantly solved."
In the conference room, Director Guo Peichao and others did not hesitate to offer high praise. From a police officer’s perspective, it can’t be said that this case was unsolvable, but it absolutely shouldn’t have been solved in this manner, step by step.
Under normal circumstances, the case should have been received by a criminal police team from some county or district, then get stuck due to issues with the source of the corpse, and not even requiring the expansion of a special case team before it’s over. If one is lucky or skilled enough to break through, then a special team of dozens is formed, traveling across several places, conducting a three-month business trip and show, consuming a vast amount of resources, and then returning without success. If one wishes to make further progress, the difficulty would be extremely high.
However, there was still a chance this case could be cracked. But it was more likely not by the police’s investigation into the case, but rather as the "Escape Room" or the situation of their group became known to the police, the perpetrator could be unearthed along with the revelation.
Beyond that, it depends on the subsequent fate of the two fugitive criminals.
Their behavior is also quite typical—after committing a murder, they flee and hide out for two or three years, check how things are going, then decide whether to continue hiding in another area, go home for the holidays, or stay put but start using their own ID cards.
For cases like Chen Nuan’s drowning, since the case was filed outside of the local area, it doesn’t matter whether the two return home or not. What really determines their fate is whether they will continue to commit crimes, and after doing so, whether they will implicate each other, or commit a major crime for which they cannot help but expose each other in hope of a lighter sentence.
Lastly, it depends on whether one of the two becomes successful. If one prospers while the other remains a miscreant, involvement in other cases is not uncommon. It can even be said that it is the most natural human choice.
