CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 185: RECOGNITION FROM THE TASK FORCE!

"Here, I would like to apologize to everyone."

After a brief pause, he spoke in a solemn tone, "The reason I urgently organized this meeting this afternoon mainly lies in two aspects."

"On one hand, the pressure of investigating this case is immensely high."

"On the other hand, we have already found the breakthrough in the case."

Everyone understands the pressure of solving the case.

However, regarding the breakthrough, the attendees showed doubtful expressions on their faces.

Eventually, all eyes simultaneously turned towards the three newcomers beside Zhang Feng.

An experienced detective glanced over and turned to speak, "Could it be that these three have brought hope for solving the case?"

"It’s unlikely! They look so young, probably haven’t been in the force for more than five years."

"Especially the young man sitting next to Mr. Zhang; he seems to have just graduated from school."

....

While people were whispering in the venue, Zhang Feng spoke in a deep voice, "Next, I will introduce the invited criminal investigation experts."

When speaking, he emphasized the words "criminal investigation experts" heavily.

"This is Jiang An."

"The two beside are Zhang Yean and Wan Junjie."

"All three of them are from Jiangcheng and have now joined the task force."

Upon hearing Mr. Zhang’s introduction, the attendees were even more confused.

It’s not unusual for the task force’s cases to invite criminal investigation talents from various places to assist.

Concentrating superior police forces to solve major provincial cases is commonplace.

However, Mr. Zhang suddenly invited three young people this time.

This is evidently inconsistent with the usual practices of personnel deployment.

Everyone was already puzzled earlier; now, their questions were even more intense.

Some even shook their heads in helplessness.

No one expected that young people would be invited to participate in handling the case!

At this moment, Mr. Zhang swept his gaze across the conference room.

He spoke seriously, "Maybe everyone is surprised by the inclusion of these three young people in the task force."

"But I have always believed that ambition isn’t determined by age."

"Especially in the context of criminal investigation."

"Undoubtedly, criminal investigations emphasize experience."

"While case-solving experience is important, dynamic thinking is indispensable."

"I remember in the past, when the task force was being assembled, personnel selection was always limited to criminal investigation talents over 40 years old."

"However, this time I’ve come to realize that young people also possess substantial case-solving capabilities."

While speaking, Zhang Feng turned to look at Jiang An.

"Jiang An has been working for less than two months, but he has reshaped my perception of young people."

As soon as he finished speaking, the attendees began whispering, glancing around.

An expression of disbelief appeared in everyone’s eyes.

Then, Zhang Feng spoke again seriously, "Before everyone arrived, I had already discussed the case with Comrade Jiang An in the office."

"After Jiang An’s analysis, I found his conclusions very reasonable."

"Next, I will briefly share the conclusions from Jiang An’s analysis."

"According to Jiang An, this case can be divided into two stages."

"The first stage involves the deceased falling from a height onto a moving vehicle."

"During this process, the high fall injuries appeared on the deceased’s body."

"The second stage involved sliding off the moving vehicle and coming into contact with the ground, resulting in extensive abrasions."

As soon as Mr. Zhang finished speaking, the venue immediately erupted in discussion.

An older detective stood up and said, "Captain, forcibly merging the characteristics of two types of body injuries seems too subjective, doesn’t it?"

Following this, another officer also spoke up, "We have previously discussed and analyzed the situation, forming two perspectives."

"The deceased could have died either from a high fall or from a traffic accident. Fusing them mechanically doesn’t seem logical?"

"Moreover, we have always struggled to locate the high fall point."

....

Seeing the heated discussion, Zhang Feng raised his hand to gesture.

"Please quiet down."

"I know it may be difficult for everyone to accept this viewpoint immediately."

After a brief pause, Zhang Feng spoke solemnly, "To be honest, when Jiang An proposed this viewpoint an hour ago, my reaction was just like everyone else’s."

"But Jiang An’s detailed analysis thoroughly convinced me."

"Next, I’ll invite Comrade Jiang An to provide a detailed analysis."

Instantly, everyone’s eyes turned to Jiang An.

However, their faces were filled with skepticism, even an air of disdain.

No one expected that a young face would deliver a rigorous reasoning process.

Listening to Zhang Feng’s arrangement, Jiang An nodded.

He straightened his body and spoke seriously, "Respected seniors, allow me to briefly outline my analysis process. I welcome critique where there’s room for improvement."

"Firstly, through the analysis of the injuries on this corpse, there’s indeed evidence of post-high-fall conductive violence injuries, as well as extensive abrasion marks from the traffic accident."

"Based on the location of the incident, there are office buildings on both sides of the road."

"This provides the spatial conditions for a high fall."

"Actually, according to our experience in dealing with high fall cases, the fall point is usually located directly above the corpse on the building."

"However, I heard from Mr. Zhang that the fall point has never been found."

"I believe the fall point is not directly above the corpse."

As soon as he finished speaking, the attendees began shaking their heads.

These are experienced detectives, well-acquainted with high fall cases.

A fall point not above the corpse?

Even laypeople know that after jumping from a height, one lands directly below.

Seeing many officers shaking their heads, Jiang An was unfazed.

He continued, "Respected seniors, there are experienced scene investigation experts here, and you must have searched for the fall point multiple times."

"I think the reason it hasn’t been found is due to potential issues with the delineated search area."

Continuing, Jiang An said, "Based on the scene’s environment, if the deceased landed on the ground, the fall point would logically be directly above the corpse."

"However, if the deceased fell onto a moving vehicle, then the fall point would clearly not be directly above the corpse."

"Additionally, if it was the second possibility, it would better explain the extensive abrasions on the deceased’s body."

"When the deceased fell off a moving vehicle, possessing initial velocity, and came into contact with the ground, it would result in extensive skin abrasions."

.....

As Jiang An’s methodical analysis progressed, the voices of doubt among the attendees gradually diminished.

Some even began to delve into a deeper reflection based on their personal experiences.

Twenty minutes later, Jiang An had brilliantly articulated his point of view.

Covering both the positive and negative aspects, from the body to the scene, and from further investigation.

Jiang An had meticulously synthesized all the data, thoroughly analyzing the entire picture.

Finally, Jiang An spoke solemnly, "These are my personal viewpoints. Any shortcomings, please feel free to criticize and correct."

After Jiang An finished speaking, the venue became instantly silent.

Startled expressions appeared on everyone’s faces.

They hadn’t anticipated that this seemingly youthful detective could articulate so thoroughly, with such organized reasoning.

Some had already jotted down key points in their notebooks.

Observing their reactions, Zhang Feng nodded knowingly.

It now seemed that many recognized Jiang An’s analytical conclusions.

Moments later, Zhang Feng spoke seriously, "Jiang An’s analysis was very reasonable just now."

"I think it’s time for applause."

"On one hand, to celebrate the breakthrough progress in the case."

"On the other hand, to express gratitude to the three young people who came from afar."

Suddenly, a round of enthusiastic applause erupted in the venue.

All eyes focused on Jiang An.

Many faces no longer showed doubt, but rather support and approval.
