Chapter 1065 - 998: Grinding Orders
"People from the late 90s who are now rich, successful, and celebrated are not uncommon. However, the chart that you had Wang Chuanxing compile is indeed quite interesting."
Liu Jinghui was quite interested in the new strategy proposed by Jiang Yuan.
Both he and Jiang Yuan had investigated numerous cold cases, so they both understood that the key to investigating cold cases wasn’t to retrace the steps already taken. Even if one has excellent skills and strong reasoning abilities, can retracing the same paths taken by predecessors, after so many years, truly yield better results?
Producing a half-baked result is more common.
Especially in criminal cases, many end without a definitive conclusion. If the suspect does not confess, how can one prove that their resolution of the case isn’t mistaken or wrongful?
Time erases evidence. It not only eliminates evidence that might suspect a criminal but also obliterates evidence that could prove someone’s innocence.
Therefore, often the investigation of cold cases requires finding perspectives that predecessors have not considered.
A new angle, a new route, and maybe new evidence represent a better investigative plan. Of course, it doesn’t guarantee that the case will be solved, but such an approach is considered quite favorable for a cold murder case.
The "Soaring Success" plan proposed by Jiang Yuan is indeed a new angle. Its core principle is quite simple: the one who benefits is the mastermind.
This is also one of the most common reasoning strategies in administration, and while there are hundreds of papers and specialized books on its internals and detailed analyses, it is not so easy to implement in practice.
