You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 16 A meteoric rise to fame!
That night.

In the criminal investigation conference room of the Beicheng Branch.

The torrential rain pounded against the glass windows outside, and the locust tree, as tall as the window, swayed left and right in the wind and rain.

A projector suspended from the ceiling emitted a beam of white light, which shone on the screen in front of it.

Lu Shaohua, the criminal investigator at the branch office, sat at the head of the table, a cigarette between his fingers, his brows furrowed.

He Jinbo, as the captain of the serious crime team, was supposed to introduce the case, but after fiddling with the bulky CRT computer for a long time, he still couldn't get the slides to work.

"Tsk, how do you make this thing? It's too complicated!" He Jinbo looked at Lu Shaohua guiltily: "Director Lu, should I just tell you directly?"

Lu Shaohua rolled his eyes: "Last time, the city organized leaders from various branches and local police stations to go to Anan University for computer training. You slacked off for three days and can't even recognize all the letters on the computer keyboard. How are you going to lead a team in the future?"

"You think you're so great? Then come and acknowledge one for me!" He Jinbo thought to himself, but on the surface he wore a fawning expression.

With no other options, He Jinbo could only call over a young criminal investigator from the team. This guy was good at typing, but he couldn't even put the slides on.

The kid complained, "Captain He, is there something wrong with the projector?"

At this moment, Yang Jinwen, who was standing by the wall, walked over and whispered, "Shall I give it a try?"

Seeing that Lu Shaohua's expression was getting worse, He Jinbo had no choice but to nod: "Then hurry up and sit down, don't just stand there."

The young detective made way for Yang Jinwen, who then sat down at the computer, grabbed the mouse, opened the computer settings, and quickly fiddled with the controls.

Yang Jinwen looked up and asked, "Which folder contains the photos from the scene?"

He Jinbo replied, "The date is marked at the bottom of the document."

Yang Jinwen nodded.

A moment later, a photo of the entrance to the Lin Family Ancestral Hall appeared on the screen. The picture showed a rainy day with a cordon in front of the gate.

Sitting to the side, Zheng Kang glanced at his apprentice and felt very uncomfortable.

Wen Ling, the forensic doctor in a white coat, stared at Yang Jinwen with a beaming smile, her eyes sparkling.

Cat is only fit to stand by the wall. He put his hands behind his back, holding the pen in his palm, and scoffed at Yang Jinwen's pretentiousness.

Thinking about the clues he had uncovered during the day, and how Director Lu would keep asking him questions, he knew he had to perform well, and he started to get excited again.

He Jinbo breathed a sigh of relief, patted Yang Jinwen on the shoulder, and then walked to the front of the curtain to begin recounting the case.

"Comrades..." He Jinbo cleared his throat after saying just one sentence.

Normally, when Lu Shaohua wasn't present, He Jinbo's opening line would be: "You bunch of good-for-nothings, listen up..."

But the current situation didn't allow him to be disrespectful in the slightest, so He Jinbo could only keep his tail between his legs and say in a serious tone:
"Through today's investigation and the tireless efforts of our comrades, the source of the body in the [May 530th Major Murder Case] ​​has been identified. The victim's name is Huang Cuicui..."

Lu Shaohua stuck his cigarette butt into the ashtray: "Who found the source of the body?"

“Uh…” He Jinbo looked at Yang Jinwen behind the big computer: “This is our new intern police officer, Xiao Yang, who just joined the company today.”

Lu Shaohua nodded and casually said, "Not bad."

He Jinbo paused for a moment, and after waiting for him to stop talking, he continued: "Huang Cuicui was murdered on the night of May 30th, between 6 pm and midnight. However, due to the eyewitness testimonies, the time can be shortened to between 7:30 pm and midnight."

We have now ascertained her movements and the location where she was murdered..."

As he finished speaking, Lu Shaohua raised his hand: "You found the source of the body yesterday afternoon, and then found the location of the victim's murder so quickly today. Who was the first to discover this?"

You're asking a question you already know the answer to... He Jinbo was speechless, but he also understood that the other party was wary of the old guard in the team, in order to prevent Yang Jinwen's credit from being taken away by someone else.

He Jinbo raised his voice: "It's Comrade Yang Jinwen!" "Well done!" Lu Shaohua pointed at the bulky computer: "He's clearly a good candidate to be a criminal investigator."

Yang Jinwen merely smiled politely at his uncle's... no, at his boss's praise, before hiding his face behind the computer again.

"How modest!"

Zheng Kang heard Wen Ling muttering to herself, "This girl's mind isn't on the case at all; she's got a lovesick look on her face."

Immediately afterwards, He Jinbo finished recounting the case in one breath, not giving Lu Shaohua a chance to interrupt.

"We found three severed limbs of the victim at the scene, as well as the victim's clothing..."

Yang Jinwen displayed the slides, showing a woman's denim jacket, a white pleated skirt, a crossbody handbag, and a woman's underwear.

The clothes were stained with a lot of blood. Preliminary examination of Huang Cuicui's body showed that the murderer stabbed Huang Cuicui in the neck with a fruit knife, piercing the major artery, which is why the bleeding was so heavy.

Upon seeing the photos of the crime scene, the atmosphere in the meeting room became tense.

He Jinbo paused for a moment, then showed everyone the photos from the scene before continuing his speech.

From behind the bulky CRT computer, Yang Jinwen's indifferent voice came out: "Based on the autopsy results and the crime scene, Huang Cuicui was murdered at 7:30 pm on May 30th, no later than 8 pm."

After abducting Huang Cuicui, the murderer dragged her into the ancestral hall, but did not commit any indecent acts; instead, he immediately chose to kill her.

Huang Cuicui's three severed limbs were left at the scene, and there were bloody handprints on the wall, indicating that the victim must have resisted fiercely.

Huang Cuicui's husband confirmed that no money was missing from her handbag, and the motive for the murder was unclear.

After killing Huang Cuicui at 8 o'clock, the murderer took off Huang Cuicui's clothes, took her body away, and then dismembered her body somewhere.

The body was dismembered into eleven pieces. Several hours later, the murderer dumped the remains in the reeds of the Luyanzi River. Three pieces were buried, while the rest were disposed of carelessly.

Between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m., the murderer killed, dismembered, and disposed of the body.

This entire series of actions occurred within nine hours!

Yang Jinwen opened the map he had drawn before the meeting.

At this moment, everyone in the conference room was stunned. It wasn't that they didn't know this information, but rather that the clues to the case needed to be carefully considered, organized, and reported in a logical and orderly manner.

Yang Jinwen hadn't prepared beforehand. His ability to reconstruct the case details and simulate the murderer's crime process in one go was absolutely top-notch!
Moreover, he blurted it out without thinking, without even pausing.

It's important to understand that no matter who speaks at a meeting, even if they have prepared a prepared speech, they will still stumble and fall in their delivery.

Yang Jinwen's tone of voice reveals confidence, competence, and, more importantly, professionalism!

That's so damn professional... Lu Shaohua felt like a complete rookie.

He was at a meeting at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and even the top leaders didn't have this kind of language organization skills.

Needless to say, He Jinbo and Zheng Kang sat in their chairs looking like two baboons with dazed, blank stares.

Yang Jinwen didn't care about anyone's opinions. He projected the map he had marked onto the screen and said firmly, "This is a map of the cotton mill to our North District. It is shown as a cross on the map."

The crime scene is at the very top of the cross, while the body disposal site is to the right of the cross, five kilometers apart!
I speculate that the murderer dismembered the body within the 'cross' area, which is highly likely also where the murderer is hiding!

As soon as Yang Jinwen finished speaking, the rain outside the window intensified, and a thunderclap boomed in the night sky.

"boom……"
