Diary of a Criminal Investigator-Chapter 255: Ma Shaowen Loses His Temper

Less than a third, the fingerprint area is too small. The number of identifiable characteristic points is insufficient, so it cannot be used as judicial evidence to identify the suspect.

"There are only eight characteristic points. Let’s see if we can match the target. As for the murder evidence... Taizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team will have to find it themselves."

"Eight characteristic points..."

Old Bai nodded: "It’s not bad. As long as we can lock in the target person in the fingerprint database, judicial evidence shouldn’t be hard to find."

Liu Guodong also agreed quite a bit.

"As long as we can find the person, finding evidence shouldn’t be a problem. Investigate the time-space relationship between this person and the crime’s time node, and finding evidence should not be difficult."

"Moreover, the insufficient number of characteristic points cannot judicially prove the suspect’s guilt, but practically, if a fingerprint with eight characteristic points can be successfully matched, that person should be the murderer."

This involves the probability issue of fingerprint matching.

Although fingerprints are unique, nothing is absolute.

The probability of different people having the same fingerprint exists as well.

But this probability is extremely small, reportedly one in fifteen billion.

Of course, this is only theoretical data, and it’s not clear if this theory is accurate.

After all, no one has ever seen different people with the same fingerprint situation.

To delve deeper, it’s like calculating Pi.

If Pi is truly endless, it would prove that circles truly exist.

If circles truly exist, it means the world is random.

The occurrence of any event could be random.

But if Pi has an end, no matter how large the number is, as long as there’s an end.

It indicates that a so-called circle is actually a polygon.

It’s just that the circle has too many sides.

But as long as it’s a polygon, it means the circle was designed.

The existence of humans, every action taken by everyone, can be designed.

When Lu Chuan was in college, while studying fingerprint uniqueness, he heard his mentor talk about this.

At the time, he thought it was a tall tale.

But if it really is a tall tale, then how did his time travel happen?

"Ding!"

The crisp alert sound from the computer interrupted Lu Chuan’s thoughts and the conversation among the four.

Yang Sen leaped to the computer.

Looking at the screen, the four bold characters "Match Success" made his face flush with excitement!

"Did it succeed?!"

"I’m going to report to the captain!"

Liu Guodong leaned over to the computer to confirm the match success alert, excitedly left the office at a brisk pace, not even waiting to see the matched target information.

Of course, Liu Guodong didn’t look either. The specific case investigation was the responsibility of Taizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team; Haizhou City just needed to send over the matched target person’s information.

"Lu Chuan, well done!"

Yang Sen heavily patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder.

This is the prowess that exceeds the provincial department’s fingerprint identification expert skills.

This is the highlight moment of Haizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team.

Fingerprints that the provincial department couldn’t settle, when sent to Haizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team, not only were they matched successfully.

It can be imagined how crucial this event is in solidifying the Haizhou Criminal Investigation Team’s status in the province’s fingerprint identification field.

Lu Chuan also let out a long sigh of relief.

The analysis of this fingerprint was indeed not easy.

Even though Lu Chuan has advanced fingerprint identification analysis skills, this time he really gave it his all.

Although the entire identification process didn’t take long, the process was quite arduous.

Lu Chuan personally compiled new software, enhanced the separated fingerprint, and mended the broken fingerprint, which finally led to a successful match in the system.

It’s only a third-sized fingerprint and can’t be used as judicial evidence to identify the suspect.

Actually, Lu Chuan was not entirely sure if the match would succeed just now.

Fortunately, the outcome was good.

Qin Yong’s Office.

"Good!"

"Good, good, good!"

Qin Yong exclaimed with joy four times.

The case from Taizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team was not just a simple technical assistance request.

Haizhou City Public Security Bureau’s Director Song Jiangguo and Taizhou City Public Security Bureau’s Director were very good friends, and were classmates back in the day.

Early this morning, Song Jiangguo personally called Qin Yong, requesting full support for Taizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team.

Now, Lu Chuan successfully separated the real culprit’s fingerprint from the bloodstained fingerprint and matched the real suspect in the fingerprint matching system, reducing a lot of pressure on the Taizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team.

"Quickly send the fingerprint and suspect information over to Taizhou. Old Hu is probably so anxious his eyebrows are on fire right now."

Hu Guoqing, the captain of Taizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team.

Currently participating in a case analysis meeting in the conference room, and it’s not being organized because Taizhou City Public Security Bureau’s Director Ma Shaowen is sitting at the main seat with a gloomy face.

"Don’t all play dumb, speak up, what should we do now?"

Hu Guoqing glanced around. He had to speak at this time.

"Director Ma, it was my inadequate command and lack of meticulousness in handling the case, causing the current situation. I... I resign to take responsibility!"

Bang!

Ma Shaowen slammed the table forcefully.

The loud sound startled everyone with a shiver.

"Resign?!"

"You still want to resign to take responsibility?"

"An innocent civilian was arrested, committed suicide in the detention center, and you think resigning is enough?"

"Hu Guoqing! Have you seen the five bloodstained characters on the detention center wall?"

"That’s a life!"

"Just because of you! Ah!"

Ma Shaowen angrily pointed at all the criminal police present: "Just because of your eagerness to solve the case, someone died!"

"Died!"

"A person! Died!"

"The one who should resign is me!"

"You should go to court!"

Ma Shaowen had just come from the office of Taizhou City’s top leader.

Having been severely scolded, he came straight to Taizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team afterward.

He had originally suppressed his emotions.

A dead person cannot be revived, the key is to solve the case.

As long as the case is solved, there’s room for recovery.

However, Hu Guoqing’s statement really triggered Ma Shaowen’s suppressed anger.

Case analysis meeting, without discussing what should be done next, how to solve the case.

Talking about resigning to take responsibility was bullshit.

"Are you trying to drop the ball?"

"I tell you, even if you resign, go to court, you must solve the case for me first!"

"Tell me, what should we do next!"

Hu Guoqing lowered his head, not daring to rebut a single sentence.

After all was said and done, Wang Shunyi’s death could have been avoided.

Wang Shunyi, who was framed and innocently committed suicide in the detention center.

Of course, the blame cannot be entirely on Hu Guoqing.

The detention center and the Criminal Investigation Team are two separate units; someone dying in the detention center holds the detention center primarily responsible.

"The fingerprint collected from the murder weapon at the crime scene could not be identified by the provincial department, so we requested help from Lu Chuan, the expert at Haizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team."
