Chapter 11: Perfect Crime? A Dismemberment Case Unsolved for Twenty Years!!!

The next day.

In the parking lot of the Huaihai Criminal Investigation Team.

Early in the morning, seven or eight police escort vehicles with Ji Province plates were already parked.

This was after the Huaihai Criminal Investigation Team was 100% certain that the three individuals were fugitives from Ji Province, and they immediately notified the local police to come.

Since the incident occurred in Ji Province.

Both the trial and prosecution will be handled there, so the local police needed to escort the criminals.

Moreover.

Under the current demand to solve all murder cases, the fact that these three fugitives had disappeared without a trace must have been a huge burden on Ji Province police recently.

After a formal thank-you, the Ji Province police escorted the three fugitives into the transport vehicle, awaiting further court proceedings.

Or rather.

Waiting for the day the death sentence is passed.

…

At this moment.

Inside the office of the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Team.

Lin Tian looked at Su Ming and Wang Hu, who were sitting before him, took a sip of tea, and praised them.

“I’ve already heard in detail from your colleague Xiao Xu about yesterday’s operation, so I have a general understanding of the situation.”

“Therefore, Su Ming, I really have to compliment you.”

“To be able to accurately identify the problem with the suspect in that situation, promptly halt the operation, and prevent the hidden fugitive from being alerted.”

“And to remain calm, leading to the capture of the other two fugitives — that requires exceptional mental fortitude!”

“Quite impressive, really impressive!!!”

“Getting the first-ever perfect score on the criminal investigation exam, seems like you’ve really got something.”

“Of course, Wang Hu did well too. During yesterday’s operation, he also contributed his part.”

“Discovering and capturing three A-level fugitives is indeed a significant achievement, so I’ve been thinking seriously about it.”

Lin Tian paused for two seconds before lightly tapping the desk and continuing.

“Afterwards, both of you will sign the full-time contract and officially move from an internship to a probationary period.”

“Normally, a newly full-time employee has to undergo a year-long probation, but considering the credit for capturing these fugitives…”

“Su Ming, you only need three months of probation before becoming a full-time officer with a gun. Wang Hu’s probation is halved, just six months before he gets the full-time status.”

“Also, since Ji Province police have offered a reward, each of you will receive a bonus of five thousand yuan.”

“Don’t think it’s too little.”

“After all, catching criminals is our job, so the bonus won’t be too high.”

From any perspective.

The rewards offered by the Huaihai Criminal Investigation Team were indeed generous.

Early promotion, shortened probation.

These were real benefits, not empty words or encouragement.

The five thousand yuan bonus was just an added perk.

Su Ming and Wang Hu exchanged glances, both saluted respectfully, and said in unison.

“Thank you, Chief Lin.”

Lin Tian waved his hand, signaling them not to be so polite.

“This is just a reward for merit, it’s what you deserve. No need to thank me.”

“And I remember…”

“You two are still living in the dorms at the school, right? If you find commuting troublesome, you can move to our team’s dormitory.”

“The dorm is empty anyway, so it’ll be more convenient for you in terms of commuting and handling various matters.”

“During your probation, you should also think carefully about whether you want to focus on front-line case solving or criminal investigation technology.”

“In any case.”

“The importance of criminal investigation technology is no less than that of front-line case solving.”

“Alright, no other matters for now. You both can go back to your work.”

After saying this, Lin Tian stopped looking at Su Ming and Wang Hu and instead focused on the thick pile of case files on his desk.

Just as Su Ming was about to leave the office.

Lin Tian suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly looked up to continue.

“By the way, Su Ming.”

“I heard from Xiao Xu that you’re quite good at capturing the details of a case, so I have an additional task for you.”

“If you have time these days…”

“Go through the case file for the 5.13 dismemberment case from twenty years ago at Magic City University, and see if you can find any new clues or information.”

“Of course, this case is very old, so just do your best.”

“It’d be great if you can find some clues, but if not, that’s fine too.”

“Because this crime was so perfectly executed, it’s been impossible to uncover any critical clues.”

Clearly this extremely brutal and vicious dismemberment case, which had remained unsolved for twenty years, had become a lingering concern for Lin Tian.

Otherwise, with so many unsolved cases, he wouldn’t have specifically brought up this dismemberment case, hoping that Su Ming, who had a strong knack for solving cases, might find some detail in the file.

As Su Ming was about to reach the door, he paused.

Hearing that he would be analyzing this extremely famous cold case not just in Magic City but across the entire country, he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, feeling a surge of curiosity and anticipation. He nodded and said.

“Got it, Chief Lin.”

“I’ll check the detailed case file for the dismemberment case right away and see if I can find any new clues.”

…

After leaving Lin Tian’s office.

Wang Hu, who had been cautious and silent just moments ago, immediately became excited as he walked down the hallway, fist-pumping and saying.

“Wow, Ming Ge, thanks to you this time.”

“I actually get to skip the probation period and move straight to probation after graduation, and I only need to do six months of probation!”

“This is so awesome!”

“If the others in the class find out, they’ll probably envy the hell out of us, because this really shortens the time a lot!”

“While everyone else is still doing their internship, we’re already getting guns!!!”

“By the way.”

“Ming Ge, do you think I should focus on front-line criminal investigations or lean more towards criminal investigation technology?”

Since college Wang Hu had always looked up to Su Ming, and their years of friendship meant he didn’t hesitate to rely on Su Ming for advice.

Moreover,

Wang Hu asking Su Ming to help him decide on a focus shows how close they were.

Su Ming looked Wang Hu up and down, then sighed regretfully and said.

“Huozi, I think you shouldn’t be so fixated on front-line investigations. Based on my observation over the past few years…”

“You really aren’t cut out for this, but you’re quite talented when it comes to reviewing surveillance footage and criminal investigation technology, so you could consider specializing in that.”

“The best part is that criminal investigation tech also gets a gun, which should fulfill your wish.”

These words.

Made Wang Hu pause for a moment, and just as he was about to argue that he had case-solving talent, he remembered how Su Ming had single-handedly uncovered the three hidden fugitives yesterday.

After a brief silence.

He couldn’t help but sigh and mutter to himself while looking at the surveillance cameras overhead.

“Eh, I’ll just go with the surveillance.”

“As long as I get a gun, that’s fine.”

While Wang Hu was lost in thought, Su Ming had already returned to his desk and opened the internal system to pull up the case file for the dismemberment case from twenty years ago at Magic City University.

As the file loaded, Su Ming looked at the thousands of pages of electronic documents and muttered to himself.

“Here we go.”

“Let’s see just how perfect this unsolved case from twenty years ago really is!!!”
