National Forensic Doctor-Chapter 894 - 832: Do It With Me

"Our program is going to be broadcast tomorrow night. Arresting a criminal within one day? Is that even possible?" Before becoming a host, Mela had been a journalist and knew the efficiency of the police, as well as how elusive the act of capturing someone could be.

He had once covered a kidnapping case with the Dama police, filming throughout the entire process and presenting the police chief in all his imposing glory, but after the abducted child died, all the footage was shelved.

So, even though Jiang Yuan had experience solving cases within a day, it didn’t guarantee that he could solve a case in one day—Mela understood Jiang Yuan more as trying to self-motivate, but he had only one day left to "eat the cake." freёwebnoѵel.com

Jiang Yuan just shook his head and said, "If you need it, it shouldn’t take too long. Ni Cha, have you brought people with you?"

"Ah... should I call a team over? It might take around 30 minutes." Ni Cha also wasn’t sure what Jiang Yuan was planning.

After all, Ni Cha hadn’t seen a scene where Jiang Yuan delivered a suspect all wrapped up.

Jiang Yuan hummed in acknowledgment and said, "It’s better to have a team with you, for safety. How many police do you have in total? Do they have the ability to arrest?"

The nature of being assigned to the TV station, I’m not sure how it’s considered in Dama. If it’s seen as a cushy job, then it might be all middle-aged uncles and senior police officers coming over, and relying on them to arrest people is somewhat unreliable.

Of course, Mu Zhiyang and Wang Chuanxing had also come, but there was no need to have them arrest criminals in Dama, nor was it that urgent. Cui Xiaohu and the police liaison officer from the embassy were even less of a concern, being institutional police. It would be troublesome if they got hurt, and even more embarrassing if they let the suspect get away.

Ni Cha glanced at Jiang Yuan’s expression, pulled Jiang Yuan a little further away and asked softly, "There should be seven or eight officers. Is there a fugitive on site? Should we lock down the area?"

"For now, there seems to be at least one drug user and one thief. Not sure if they are fugitives," Jiang Yuan paused, then asked, "It’s illegal to use drugs in Dama, right?"

"Illegal," Ni Cha answered decisively, his eyes sharpening as he asked, "Which two people?"

Jiang Yuan then whispered into Ni Cha’s ear.

Ni Cha nodded: "Got it, I’ll arrange the manpower now. You go back on stage and follow Mela’s filming."

He had handled many cases before, and even if he didn’t have many men under his command, only three times the number of suspects, plus those on Jiang Yuan’s side, they still only amounted to four to five times that. Nonetheless, Ni Cha bravely took on the responsibility and proactively took charge of the arrest.

Mu Zhiyang followed Jiang Yuan back to the edge of the stage and was stopped.

Mu Zhiyang silently took off his jacket, revealing the bulletproof vest and tactical vest underneath, then took out a ceramic plate from his backpack and silently inserted it into the tactical vest.

The TV station staff swallowed nervously, seeking help from the directors behind them.

The directors all pretended not to see.

Jiang Yuan returned to the stage.

Mela cleared his throat, picked up the microphone and said, "Forensic Expert Jiang Yuan, you just said you were going to catch a criminal for us, how are you planning to do that?"

"I observed it on the spot just now," Jiang Yuan raised his chin a bit, "While recording earlier, I noticed a particular member of the audience and paid a bit more attention..."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, the camera intentionally panned away from the stage, sweeping from the faces of Jiang Yuan and Mela to the faces of the audience.

The audience had over a hundred members: some bewildered, some curious, some surprised, some whispering to each other, some sitting upright, others full of anticipation...

Not to mention the changing emotions of the audience, Mela himself was getting excited.

"I should clarify that this is an unforeseen situation. We did not plan this segment in advance, nor would we intentionally invite a suspect into the studio or stage an audience member’s arrest for the sake of the show," Mela explained a bunch before asking, "Dr. Jiang, please continue."

Mela covered all the bases, as the program was recorded. If Jiang Yuan’s so-called "identification of a suspect" turned out to be a misunderstanding, or even more embarrassingly, a false accusation against an innocent audience member, that segment could simply be cut and not broadcast.

Jiang Yuan, however, was more concerned about how to safely arrest the criminal. Following Mela’s words, he said, "Well, I’d like to ask for the cooperation of the audience members present, is that okay?"

Naturally, the audience responded with a chorus of agreement.

Jiang Yuan took two more steps forward, looked at the audience seats, and said, "The audience in the left three rows, please stand up at my command."

About forty people in the left three rows stood up.

Jiang Yuan: "Alright, the audience in the left three rows, please take two steps to the left."

The audience did as instructed.

"Now, follow my command," Jiang Yuan’s voice slowed, "Everyone, that means everyone, raise your left hand and then stick up your thumb."

The audience followed suit. Mela’s eyes sparkled with excitement; if Jiang Yuan managed to identify the criminal through some method, the show’s effect would undoubtedly be significant.

While everyone pondered why Jiang Yuan was doing this, Ni Cha had already quietly approached from behind with several policemen and gave Jiang Yuan a confirming signal.

Jiang Yuan checked their positions and then loudly commanded in Malay, "Last step, everyone together, follow my action..."

Jiang Yuan also stretched out his left hand, thumbs up, then suddenly shouted while motioning, "Raise both hands high."

The audience followed his motion, raising both hands in unison.

Thud.

Ni Cha personally led two stout policemen, slamming hard into the ribs of an audience member in the fourth row.

Simultaneously, two other policemen cut through the audience, pressing the male audience member to the ground and handcuffing him.

The camera recorded the entire process, but everyone including the cameraman was somewhat stunned and a bit confused about the situation.

Onstage.

Mela asked in confusion, "Doctor Jiang, the movement we just did..."

"Oh, the movement was just to facilitate the arrest of this suspect." Jiang Yuan paused, then explained, "I had observed earlier that this audience member’s movements were uncoordinated, his eyes were bloodshot, and his behavior off, all indicating possible drug use. We had someone get closer and take a look just now and found needle marks under his arm."

In the past, some veteran detectives could identify obvious drug users based on experience. Jiang Yuan’s methods were slightly different, but his Level 3 in Forensic Clinical Medicine, Level 6 in forensic sketch, Level 5 in Footprint Analysis, and even Level 4 in Forensic Odontology, all helped in this regard.

To be certain, Jiang Yuan also had Ni Cha send someone to check closely, and upon confirming, carried out the arrest on the spot.

As the camera zoomed in, Ni Cha and others flipped the suspect over, inspecting the injection sites on the spot.

Not just the audience, but the celebrity guests were also exclaiming in surprise.

Dama has always been a disaster area for imported goods due to its long coastline and proximity to the Golden Triangle, but due to religious and cultural reasons, the locals have always strongly resisted drug use, thus the drug user exposed on the spot immediately became the target of criticism.

Several audience members who knew him even exclaimed in disbelief, then were taken to the side to be interviewed.

Mela seized the opportunity to ask, "Doctor Jiang, can you tell us about your judgment methods in detail? Is there something we can learn and reference?"

"There are actually many methods, some common ones include establishing a model, for a certain group of drug users, like opiate users, similar to the one we just caught, they typically have the characteristic of contracted pupils. The pupils can contract very small, if you’ve seen enough of them, just by their eyes, you can tell them apart." Jiang Yuan succinctly educated the audience.

From the perspective of public security, if the public can identify the physical characteristics of drug users, it would definitely help the police in managing law and order.

Jiang Yuan continued to talk about methamphetamine and ketamine, then paused and said, "I see Officer Ni Cha is ready, let’s catch the second one."

"Um... The second one?" Mela, as a well-known host, felt her mind crash for a moment, then couldn’t help but say, "My little TV studio actually has a second criminal?"

"Criminal suspect, that’s what we usually call them," Jiang Yuan clarified and commanded, "Everyone in the audience, please step back two steps."

Click-click.

The audience members, both excited and nervous, stepped back two steps.

"Photographers, please don’t come any closer. Spread out a bit to avoid interfering with the police operation," Jiang Yuan instructed from the stage.

There were a total of four cameramen in the studio, who retreated as instructed.

Thud.

Ni Cha, who had already taken care of the drug user, now led two other policemen, grabbing a cameraman who was stepping back.

"This..." Mela was utterly shocked. It was unexpected for a drug user to appear in the audience, but the cameraman now being arrested was someone he knew—not very well, but they had interacted numerous times!

"Before coming to the TV station, I happened to review the cases involving this station, and this cameraman’s gait matches almost exactly with the footprints left at a recent theft case you reported," said Jiang Yuan, whose visit to the TV station was a diplomatic mission that he took very seriously. As a policeman and someone who came to "perform" Footprint Identification technique, it made perfect sense for him to review the footprints related to the TV station’s cases before coming.

Of course, this left Mela and the others completely baffled.

"How does the gait match the footprint? No, wait... What do you mean by gait?"

"I’m very familiar with Song Lai. He’s not a thief, and he has no reason to steal—selling off his family’s camera equipment could buy a house..."

"Do you have evidence? You can’t arrest someone without evidence."

The studio, both onstage and off, was a complete mess, with all sorts of comments being made.

Mela, as an experienced frontline host, felt somewhat at a loss.

"How about it, this episode of the show, there should be something to see, right?" asked Jiang Yuan earnestly to Mela. When abroad, one must indeed show some consideration.

Mela lifted her head slowly, smiling with great effort.
