The next morning.

Several cars went down the mountain again, and it was bumpy again.

When we arrived at Zifeng Town, it was still the same as yesterday, except that there were a lot fewer people queuing up, and Xu Taining's white shirt was a little dirtier.

"I didn't change my clothes last night." Even Wang Zhong could use his little brain to deduce Xu Taining's state.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the people in line and asked Huang Qiangmin: "Shall we go over and talk?"

"Well, have you thought about it?" Huang Qiangmin said: "I heard that Xu Chu is quite strict in his work. Unlike me, I am more willing to listen to your opinions."

Li Li and Da Zhuang, who were in the same car, looked askance at Huang Qiangmin.

Huang Qiangmin's mouth showed a 22.2-degree smile, looking very proud.

Jiang Yuandao: "As long as he wants to solve the case, he should listen to me."

"oh?"

"Thousands of people participated in the search yesterday, and Xu Chu personally arranged it. If there are no suitable clues yet, he should also consider a new plan."

Huang Qiangmin put himself into the role of Xu Taining and couldn't help but nodded.

The most admirable thing about Xu Taining is that he organized high-intensity and high-density large-scale detection operations again and again.

But his most admirable place is also his most vulnerable place.

What a waste if such a high-intensity and high-density action ends in vain.

Of course, with Xu Taining's current qualifications, even one or two failures would probably be acceptable to his superiors.

But can Xu Taining accept it himself?

If we organize the actions of thousands of people and let so many people invest their time and energy, if there are no results in the end, any normal person will be depressed and self-doubt.

Today, it has been more than 72 hours since Liu Jinghui lost contact.

The three-day golden period has passed, and there is still no news about Liu Jinghui. The loss of contact has turned into a disappearance.

And the difficulty of finding it is increasing.

If Huang Qiangmin were placed in Xu Taining's position, as long as someone under his command came up with a reliable idea, he would most likely agree.

This is not only a matter of decentralization of responsibilities, but also a normal choice given sufficient resources.

Jiang Yuan needs people, vehicles, and resources, so just give them.

If the resources are not enough, Xu Taining can still get more.

Especially when Liu Jinghui is confirmed to be missing, there is no problem in doubling the manpower and resources. As long as they are used reasonably, the goal can be achieved.

Huang Qiangmin followed Jiang Yuan and walked over together.

Then, seeing Jiang Yuan not lining up, he went straight to Xu Taining.

Huang Qiangmin wanted to help him and tell Jiang Yuan about politics and personnel affairs, but he couldn't keep up with Jiang Yuan for a while.

By the time they caught up, the strange movements here had already attracted Xu Taining's attention.

Xu Taining saw the tall and big Jiang Yuan at a glance, gave a slight smile, waved Jiang Yuan over, and said: "Look at you running forward, have you found any clues?"

Everyone around him immediately focused on Jiang Yuan.

Now that everyone has heard the clues, they all have some inexplicable expectations.

Jiang Yuan shook his head decisively and said: "No, we searched the Sanqing Temple area yesterday and found nothing. The police dog also failed to find the starting point."

"Well." Xu Taining's face showed no expression.

Jiang Yuan continued: "Last night, I had some ideas, so I went to the main peak again, where Liu Chu had a car accident before, and where he parked his car before, and did some investigation."

"Anything found?"

"No." Jiang Yuan answered directly.

Someone next to me couldn't help it anymore and frowned: "If you don't find out, just tell me directly. Don't tell half of it and leave half of it."

Jiang Yuan smiled, ignored those around him, and continued to follow his own train of thought, saying: "I want to focus on this case, the car accident caused by damaged tires, and the previous case that Liu was investigating, and search for the body near the parking place.

.Not Liu Chu’s body.”

So far, no one has really mentioned the word corpse.

Although Jiang Yuan made it clear that it was not Liu Jinghui's body, everyone's emotions were obviously affected.

Xu Taining asked with increased anxiety, "Whose body do you want to search for?"

"I don't know. But I think if the body can be found nearby and the case can be solved, it will be very helpful in finding the whereabouts of Liu Chu."

Before Jiang Yuan finished speaking, several senior police officers around him couldn't help but shake their heads.

"How do you know there could be a body nearby?"

"What does it mean to solve the case? Do you want to find a body that has not been found yet and then solve the case?"

"If you can't find anyone, why don't you solve the backlog of murder cases first? Are you kidding me?"

Various verbal attacks followed one after another.

Huang Qiangmin looked at Jiang Yuan with an "I told you so" expression, inexplicably a little happy.

What everyone said was actually what he said before.

Those who work as criminal police officers know too much about criminal police. At the same time, those who work as criminal police officers also know too well the difficulty of a murder case and the backlog of murder cases.

Solving the backlog of murder cases really depends on fate.

If you have been in the criminal case circle for a long time, you will know that some cases are really difficult to detect.

This is still a very euphemistic way of saying it.

To put it a little less rigorously, some murder cases no longer meet the conditions for investigation after they become backlogged.

In grassroots bureaus, meritorious service can be achieved by solving the backlog of murder cases. It is certainly not because meritorious service is too cheap.

Xu Taining looked Jiang Yuan up and down and asked slowly: "Are you confident in solving this case?"

"I have some confidence." Jiang Yuan didn't say too confidently.

Even so, in such an occasion, this is a very confident performance.

Several police officers around him fell silent and allowed Xu Taining to make the decision.

Xu Taining said: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Yuan then repeated what he had said to Huang Qiangmin, and continued: "I think Liu Chu must have been close to the murderer, or in other words, close to the murderer's burial place, and maybe he has obtained certain clues.

Otherwise, the murderer would not take action."

"Well, if he doesn't take action, Lao Liu can't even be sure that there is really a murder here." Xu Taining's thoughts were also very straightforward.

He expressed his judgment without doubting this or that, which was also a sign of great confidence.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan looked much more relaxed and said: "Expand Liu Chu's search area and divide it into three areas. The area he searched in the early stage of the car accident, the area he was searching during the car accident, and the areas that may have been searched according to the original plan.

The area, I think, is most likely the area that was being searched at that time."

"That area has been plowed several times." Xu Taining was a little disappointed.

Not only Jiang Yuan saw such an obvious thing, but Liu Jinghui himself could definitely see it.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said: "There is no thorough search and there are obvious omissions."

"Oh? Bring me the map." Xu Taining had scanned the area before, but he didn't look carefully.

The map is at hand, and it is a high-scale map made by the Bureau of Mines, with quite detailed annotations.

"The most likely ones are the two wells here." Jiang Yuan pointed directly with his hand and said: "Actually, there are other places that have not been searched, such as mountains and forests. If the corpse is buried, there will always be places that cannot be found.

, or there might be a cave inside. But the most important thing is these two wells."

Seeing that Xu Taining was looking at the map and listening carefully, Jiang Yuan slid his hand on the map and said: "In addition to the mountains and forests, a few hundred meters away from the parking lot, there is also a ravine, which is also a good place to bury corpses at a low cost.

places. However, the priority of these places is relatively low."

Xu Taining nodded in approval: "Most of these places have been searched."

"Yes, after several rounds of searches, all the searched places and places that are easy to search should be eliminated. But the mine is an exception."

Jiang Yuan did not discuss the details of the search.

If you think that criminals have the professional ability to hide corpses, then the search requirements are too high.

If this is the case, then the search for the body itself is actually pointless. The case should be solved in another direction.

It is impossible for one person, a criminal, to cover everything and do everything professionally.

The loopholes the police are looking for are not offensive and defensive drills in a fair confrontation.

Moreover, Jiang Yuan, who had also conducted several searches, knew that as long as there were people available, organizing searches in these places would be a trivial matter.

Only the search in the mine is too difficult and so conspicuous, making it the most questionable object.

Xu Taining didn't know the specific details and said in disbelief: "Lao Liu let these two obvious wells go?"

No matter how strong a white shirt is, it has its limitations.
