National Forensic Doctor

When Xu Juan returned to Qingshi Municipal Bureau, she drew a lot of attention from the bureau’s leadership.

Fang Gang, the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade, was equally astonished and remarked, "Among all the cases we’ve spent a fortune on solving, this one has the fewest suspects and the lightest total weight. So, if we calculate by poundage, this case has the highest cost per pound of suspect! Incredible, just incredible!"

The officers present chuckled silently, mentally updating their view on Fang Gang’s math skills.

Huang Qiangmin laughed along and said, "This case is pretty straightforward and plain. Good thing you don’t feel it’s a waste."

"The sooner we solve a case, the better. We’re not the type to pretend everything’s fine just to make work harder for ourselves," Fang Gang replied smoothly.

Now that the membership fee was already paid, it wasn’t like Huang Qiangmin could demand a refund.

Besides, as Fang Gang had pointed out, solving cases quickly and efficiently is the priority. Qingshi City covers a long stretch of the Tai River, and bodies floating up are inevitable. Most of these cases are likely to be straightforward too. Jiang Yuan’s ability to resolve such cases quickly and accurately was exactly what Fang Gang needed.

Even the simplest film has high costs after shooting starts. Prolonged filming would bankrupt any production company. Task forces work similarly—once they’re fully operational and in case-solving mode, while the subsidies for everyone remain pathetically low, the funding flows out terrifyingly fast.

Seeing that Fang Gang understood, Huang Qiangmin visibly relaxed and joked, "Captain Fang, you really know your stuff. This case seems easy to solve, but pinpointing the victim’s drowning point, exact age, and sketch—all of these individually are tough tasks for an ordinary task force."

"You’ve got a good point there," Fang Gang agreed readily. This was actually a conclusion they had reached in private discussions.
