I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 431 - 260: Yuncheng Case No. 1

As soon as the name of the Yuncheng 1 case was mentioned, everyone present gasped in amazement because this case had caused a national sensation five years ago. As elite members of the police force, they had also discussed this case.

At that time, they had put themselves in the shoes of the officers handling the Yuncheng 1 case and wondered if they could have solved it.

Unexpectedly, the first case upon the establishment of the guidance team was the Yuncheng 1 case.

Li Xiang had not joined the public security system at that time, so he was not very familiar with the impact of the Yuncheng 1 case.

However, seeing the expressions on everyone’s faces, he knew this case was extraordinary.

No case that becomes a "Number 1" is ever simple.

"Indeed, the Yuncheng 1 case back then had a very negative impact, and the perpetrator is still at large. The provincial department has issued orders to carry out a cyber-cleansing operation across the province, marking the Yuncheng 1 case as a key case for supervision. Your entire guidance team will be stationed in Yuncheng to assist the special task force on the Yuncheng 1 case and establish a joint command to investigate this case together."

Li Zhongqing looked solemn, gritting his teeth when referring to the Yuncheng 1 case.

He held high hopes for the guidance team, wishing that this cyber-cleansing operation could have a good start, boosting the morale of public security officers across the province and striking a severe blow to the arrogance of criminals.

All the members of the guidance team stood up in unison, shouting, "Yes, we guarantee to complete the task."

They were all the pride of their generation, with the courage to face difficulties and the drive to forge ahead in challenging situations.

The organization assigned such an important case to them, which was both a trust in them and a recognition of their abilities. They could only give their all to not disappoint the organization and leadership’s expectations.

"Good, seeing everyone’s high spirits puts me at ease. Let’s call it a day for now. Familiarize yourselves with each other, and we’ll set off tomorrow."

"Yes."

After the leaders left, everyone immediately engaged in a lively discussion.

The topic of discussion revolved around the Yuncheng 1 case.

Through snippets of conversation, Li Xiang gained a basic understanding of the Yuncheng 1 case.

It was a serial rape and murder case. The killer committed 11 crimes over 5 years, with incidents happening nearly every six months, and the methods were extremely brutal. The victims suffered inhumane torture before death. Police officers handling the case felt their hair stand on end when they saw the crime scenes and couldn’t help but curse at the perverted demon.

Everyone was both excited and worried about solving this case.

The excitement was because they too could take on a case that had once caused a nationwide uproar. The worry was whether they could handle this challenge, as it remained unsolved for many years.

As the intensity of the discussion waned, the topic gradually shifted to Li Xiang.

Everyone was very interested in his development of digital skull reconstruction technology, especially Song Yingwen, who had a background in forensic medicine. With a certain level of research into skulls, he was very curious about the principles involved and started discussing with Li Xiang.

The conversation gradually shifted from Li Xiang’s expertise in skull reconstruction technology to his skill in pathological identification.

To his surprise, Li Xiang could provide very professional insights into many specialized questions he raised, some answers even giving him a sense of sudden enlightenment, which left him astonished.

Could it be that Li Xiang also understood pathological identification?

After this conversation, Song Yingwen no longer dared to underestimate Li Xiang. This young man’s knowledge was unfathomable.

The others listened to their conversation, bewildered by the occasional professional terms from Li Xiang, yet recognizing his profound expertise.

"Captain Li, your unique insights in pathological identification have benefited me immensely. I must learn more from you in the future."

"Forensic Doctor Song’s professional knowledge is also very solid; we should learn from each other."

"Ashamed."

The professional forensic medicine knowledge flowed effortlessly from Li Xiang, and he was well-versed in toxicology topics too, which were my weak points. Yet, Li Xiang handled them with ease, evidently more knowledgeable than me. This made me feel ashamed while simultaneously having no doubts about Captain Li’s leadership status.

I am convinced in heart and speech.

Everyone else felt the same, impressed by Li Xiang’s eloquence.

Yang Ming acted as if he was used to this, seeing it as no big deal. Having faced life-and-death situations with Li Xiang back at Miaowa’s, what were these in comparison? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

However, when Sun Zhidong saw Li Xiang eloquently discussing forensic medicine, he suddenly felt as if he didn’t recognize Li Xiang anymore.

They were old friends of many years; didn’t he know Li Xiang’s character?

He was never book-smart.

Would they have become auxiliary police if they were academically inclined?

But now, what had he witnessed?

Li Xiang was articulating like a scholar.

Did he have an epiphany these two years?

Books he couldn’t read before, he could now comprehend at a glance?

Others studied hard for ten years, accumulating vast knowledge, and he managed in a year?

This was too competitive for him.

No, I have to keep up with my brother; I must work hard to improve, at least catch up with my brother in one aspect, right?

But which aspect?

Study?

Sun Zhidong shook his head; his mind wasn’t cut out for studying.

Strong in body, simple in mind, he excelled at having fun.

Was he going to compete with Li Xiang in having fun?

That would be too unambitious.

"Let’s all have a meal together at noon to get to know each other better. You can have some free time in the afternoon and rest early tonight. Tomorrow morning, we head to Yuncheng."
