Chapter 172: Chapter 141: Reverse Thinking—How Will You Know Unless You Try?

”Now there are some panic comments appearing online.”

”Some single women don’t dare to go out for a walk at night.”

”Even some women working night shifts wait at the company entrance for their husbands or boyfriends to pick them up after work.”

”So, from the perspective of maintaining the stability of Jiangcheng, I’d like to ask the two leaders of the Public Security Bureau, when will you be able to solve this case and capture the murderer?”

It’s really like saying Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

Li Jian hadn’t fully thought through his response when the question was thrown at him.

Mr. Ma’s understanding of this case is merely superficial.

Whether it’s the initial scene investigation, the autopsy, or the arrangement of the entire case investigation.

He is not familiar at all.

Therefore, in such a public setting, one must not speak carelessly.

Especially as a leader in the Public Security Bureau, one must be mindful of every word and action.

The same sentence said by someone else may carry little weight and might not make any waves.

But as a leader of the Public Security Bureau, one must stand by every word spoken.

Mr. Ma turned his head to look at Li Jian, who immediately understood.

Li Jian said in a deep voice, ”Thank you to the media journalist for your attention and support of our public security work.”

”In response to the question you just raised, I will give you the following answer.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the venue looked at Li Jian.

”Regarding the specific progress of the case investigation, due to work discipline and confidentiality principles, I cannot disclose details.”

”However, I want to say that after this case occurred, we immediately organized a skilled criminal investigation force to commence probing.”

”Currently, we have identified the nature of the victim’s death and are verifying the victim’s identity.”

”We are digging deeper into the victim’s personal relationships to further narrow down the scope of the murderer.”

”Our Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Team has always adhered to the principle and requirement of prioritizing case solving, and we will submit a satisfactory answer promptly.”

”Furthermore, we also want to express our resolve and courage in handling cases through your media platform.”

”Over so many years, police and criminals have always been at odds.”

”I believe we will soon find the breakthrough in this case, and we ask all citizens to have faith in us.”

The girl across listened and nodded.

She asked, ”May I ask for your name?”

”My surname is Li, Li Jian. I am the Captain of the Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Team.”

Li Jian had originally thought this round of questioning was about to end.

Unexpectedly, the reporter continued to ask, ”Captain Li, when do you anticipate solving the case?”

Suddenly, Li Jian froze.

He didn’t know how to respond at that moment.

Is this setting a deadline?

If the given timeline is long, it implies the Jiangcheng criminal investigation team lacks the capability to safeguard the city.

If the timeline is short, but the case isn’t solved within that period, it could result in complications, creating a pitfall for oneself.

”What to do?”

Li Jian glanced at the reporter across, knowing full well.

Everything he says now could become their written material.

In a critical moment, he looked at Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma nodded and whispered, ”Speak according to your plan.”

With those words, Captain Li Jian’s heart immediately settled a lot.

After contemplating for a long time, he said, ”Criminal investigation and case solving involve many unforeseen circumstances.”

”For this case, we are confident we will solve it within five days.”

Upon hearing the five-day timeframe, Mr. Ma turned to look at Li Jian.

This time frame is short!

Based on Mr. Ma’s experience, the time is particularly pressing.

On the way here, after understanding the actual situation, Mr. Ma felt the case was complex.

Especially that third person!

Why were there bilateral postmortem lividity marks?

Who exactly is the victim?

...

Li Jian was also experiencing a pounding heart.

Speaking out in front of so many people, Li Jian felt a bit uneasy.

The strange thing is!

At that moment, Jiang An’s image suddenly floated into Li Jian’s mind.

This young man, who has charged through many difficult cases.

Perhaps, at this critical moment, only Jiang An could give him the confidence to become a strong backup.

After hearing this figure, the reporter across said, ”Thank you, we look forward to your early case resolution.”

At the same time.

Jiang An, Zhang Yean, and Wan walked to a utility pole, where a high-definition camera was hanging at the top.

Wan looked up.

”Sis, we are about to find the crucial point for solving the case, which serves as the most solid evidence in the investigation.”

After he said this, he smiled at Jiang An.

”Mr. Jiang, don’t you think?”

Jiang An smiled slightly.

”If this camera is functional, then the hope of solving the case remains very high.”

Just as these words left his mouth, his phone rang, showing a call from Deputy Captain Chen He.

Immediately, he made a ”shush” gesture.

Zhang Yean and Wan instantly understood.

Both had rapidly beating hearts.

Then, Jiang An pressed the speaker button on his phone.

”Hello, Mr. Chen.”

”Jiang An, we found that camera.”

”Moreover, we have already sorted all the information from the past two days from that camera.”

”During the crime period, the cement road only shows large trucks and electric scooters.”

Hearing this conclusion, Wan was taken aback.

”Mr. Chen, results already?”

Chen He responded, ”The Traffic Bureau installed the latest video image target capture system.”

”It can instantly capture essential information from video data, allowing rapid screening.”

”Apart from large trucks, there were many electric scooters.”

”However, there was no suitcase observed on the scooters.”

After a brief pause, Jiang An said, ”Alright! Thank you, Mr. Chen.”

After hanging up the phone, the three of them looked at each other.

However, Wan and Zhang Yean seemed very disappointed.

Especially Wan, who appeared deflated like a burst balloon.

How could such favorable conditions reveal nothing?

Could the murderer have been driving a large truck?

Zhang Yean said, ”That possibility does exist!”

”Just now, I remember when we parked our police car there, many people at the sandstone plant turned to look here.”

”Why are they so interested in our police car?”

”Do they have something to hide?”

Wan speculated, ”You know, using such large trucks to transport bodies is convenient.”

”Moreover, you can’t rule out the possibility of that sandstone plant being the crime scene.”

The two discussed for a while.

Then, they both looked at Jiang An.

But Jiang An had a furrowed brow as well.

He looked around.

”Apart from this road, are there any other ways to reach that body-dumping site?”

Then, Zhang Yean and Wan looked around, lost in thought.

”There’s a village upstream by the sandstone plant.

”Just now, I remembered a small path extending from the village, but it’s not a cement road.”

After saying this, Zhang Yean suddenly exclaimed, ”Are you implying the killer might be in this village?”

Jiang An nodded.

”At the moment, we can’t rule out that possibility.”

Recalling the victim’s attire, Wan said, ”The victim doesn’t seem like a native villager.”

Zhang Yean contemplated for a while.

”That might not be true, don’t forget.”

”There’s a sandstone plant here, with significant profits.”

”If it involves shareholder dividends, their income isn’t lower than ours.”

”Alright!”

”Consider my perspective too narrow.”

Then, Jiang An slightly narrowed his eyes.

”The Yongming River traverses through Jiangcheng; why did the murderer choose to dump the body here?”

”Right, why did the killer choose to dump the body here?”

Zhang Yean surveyed the area, noticing the river’s opposite side was a corny field.

”Dumping a body on the other side would be more concealed, wouldn’t it?”

”This further indicates the murderer is nearby, possibly a villager.”

Listening to Zhang Yean’s analysis, Jiang An nodded.

”That situation isn’t non-existent.”

Then, he looked at the villages near the Three Sandstone Plants.

”Currently, the victim’s identity can’t be confirmed.”

”Conduct detailed visits within the village to find suspicious individuals.”

”Traditionally, we investigate homicides by linking the victim to criminal suspects.”

”This time, I wish to use a new approach.”

”A new approach?”

Zhang Yean and Wan appeared puzzled.

”The new approach I mentioned focuses on identifying suspicious individuals, then solving the entire case.”

”Is that possible?”

”Is this reverse thinking?”

Zhang Yean and Wan turned to look at Jiang An.

Jiang An firmly nodded, ”If we don’t try, how will we know it won’t work?”

Then, Jiang An dialed Li Jian’s number.
