Chapter 410: Following the Dog

"The 1017 case was just cracked like that?"

Xu Xuewu, clad only in the liner of his police uniform, placed one foot on a bench in the residential complex. While watching the police officers load the criminal suspect into the car, he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion.

According to the naming convention for special cases, Case 1017 would pertain to an incident that occurred on October 17th of the previous year.

It was a rape case that had taken place in the suburbs, and the victim hadn't reported the crime until the following morning, leaving behind incomplete evidence. Throughout the incident, the victim had her back to the assailant and her description of the events was unclear. Qian Mingyu had relied on his superior LV2.5 fingerprint technology to painstakingly obtain a partial fingerprint from the bark at the crime scene.

However, obtaining a fingerprint was one thing, but matching it was another matter altogether.
