Chapter 1380: Chapter 1304: Take Them Alive

With time, and a starting point, tracking a car and depicting its trajectory is, for image investigation, like the travel problems in elementary school math—an essential and challenging topic.

It involves "meeting and chasing," but some people are at elementary level, while others are at university level yet forget how to solve elementary problems. As for the real experts...

The real experts spend their time reading the question thoroughly.

Jiang Yuan watched the footage for a long time, noticing that Ni Cha and others had finished a meal and were discussing whether to start new leads. Then Jiang Yuan’s keyboard began to clatter loudly.

Instantly, Ni Cha felt an exhilarating satisfaction.

Theoretically, he saw nothing and knew nothing, but at this moment, Ni Cha had an intuition that the case was about to be cracked.

Liu Jinghui glanced at Ni Cha discreetly, sensing that his behavior was unusual, thinking to himself that he should inform Huang Qiangmin later. To ordinary police officers, Jiang Yuan was almost like a drug. The domestic officers were somewhat restrained, but these foreign officers quickly became addicted.

"Found two people." The sound of Jiang Yuan’s keyboard stopped, and the printer began to clatter.

Unable to wait, Ni Cha rushed to the printer, snatching up the task from the young officers.

Two slightly blurred faces appeared on the printouts.

Ni Cha gave them a quick glance, then like a retriever, hurriedly brought them back to Jiang Yuan.

"The resolution of this surveillance is too low. Printing it on photo paper might make it clearer." Jiang Yuan said, sitting back at the computer, "I’ll do two versions of enhancement—one original enhanced, and one enhanced with forensic sketching. Get some of Hassan’s people in here to see if anyone can recognize them."

While speaking, Jiang Yuan resumed typing on the computer.

Ni Cha turned around and ordered, "Photo paper, hurry up and get some here. Hassan... go get two people from the office next door, and arrange an office where they can call a few people who recognize more."

As the police team busied themselves, Jiang Yuan focused on image enhancement, along with forensic sketching.

In theory, forensic sketching can reconstruct a completely unrecognizable face based on the bone structure, muscle distribution, remaining skin, and other information of a corpse.

Of course, similar to cranial reconstruction, this half-scientific, half-artistic endeavor has a success rate and accuracy of just 50% at best. But overall, any clue with a 50% probability can satisfy the criminal police.

The same logic applies to unclear surveillance videos. The distortion of images compared to a decayed corpse doesn’t necessarily mean one is more deformed than the other.

In fact, compared to the reckless decay of a corpse, video distortions can be somewhat traceable.

However, there are very few people in the world who can master both skills simultaneously. To be able to connect and integrate them is even rarer.

Someone like Jiang Yuan, a Level 5 image enhancement and Level 6 forensic sketch technician, might not exist at all.

This creates a unique item, but to a certain extent, it also affects the reliability of the evidence—if something is achievable only by you and no one else, the court may not accept it as evidence.

However, during the investigation phase, this does not matter.

Soon, the sound of Jiang Yuan’s keyboard tapping began to slow down, and the volume reduced.

Ni Cha approached cautiously and whispered, "God Jiang, we have the suspect identification personnel ready."

"Good, take these photos and let them see if there’s anyone they recognize." Jiang Yuan finished the drawing and printed out several photos.

"Got it, I’ll take them over now." Ni Cha happily took the photos and ran off.

Passing through a strong perfume scent, Ni Cha noticed Shen Yaowei in the corner.

Ni Cha hesitated, then decided to call Shen Yaowei, "Yao Wei, come with me to do the identification."

"No need, I have enough points." Shen Yaowei smiled.

"There’s no limit for this." Seeing Shen Yaowei shake his head again, Ni Cha had no time to argue, hurrying to show the photos to Hassan’s people in the next office.

Since it would be used as evidence, this time, from entering the office, Ni Cha had someone raise the camera, proceeding as per the suspect identification protocol.

He had six photos in total; as long as one was recognized, they could investigate the person’s related information, and they wouldn’t get away easily. The only thing to be cautious about was the subsequent investigation procedures relating to this person. noveldrama

By this point, any police officer from the special case team knew the case was very complex, so anything related to evidence had to be handled meticulously.

"Is it Niyuman?"

Someone softly called out.

Ni Cha was startled—already recognized.

He quickly turned around, saying, "No cross-conversation, write down the name you think it is, then give it to me."

After a little chaos, among the notes Ni Cha received, four said "Niyuman."

Ni Cha immediately ordered a system verification.

After a brief confirmation, Ni Cha signaled the camera to leave and called for everyone to prepare a formal transcript.

At the same time, Ni Cha first dialed the chief’s phone.

Ni Cha: "I’ve found the person. The victim was lured out at 5 AM, then presumably taken into Faris’s silver Crown. There’s no surveillance there, but God Jiang deduced it. He found the Crown 2 kilometers away based on surveillance, and from the timeline, Faris is mostly ruled out."

Ni Cha quickly finished the preamble, then said, "Based on surveillance on another road, Jiang Yuan found images of two suspects; one was identified as Niyuman, recognized by Hassan’s people, also an insider. He’s Pikami’s driver."

The chief’s breathing grew heavier before he asked, "Any other evidence?"

"Niyuman is tall, has military experience, and very strong arms, meeting the conditions for overpowering the victim from a high fall. We’ve confirmed his location—do we apprehend him?"

The chief paused for a good ten seconds before saying, "Arrest him, personally. Secret arrest, secret interrogation."

"Niyuman has a gun." Ni Cha added quietly, "How about taking Jiang Yuan’s people?"

"Huang Qiangmin is hard to deal with." The chief immediately refused, adding, "Prepare protection; make sure to capture him alive."
