Chapter 135 The last battle before the Spring Festival
The fingerprint battle is a crime-solving mechanism that the public security system has been carrying out for many years to detect backlogged cases.
The specific earliest start time cannot be determined, but the tradition has continued over the years.
From ministries and commissions to provincial offices to municipal bureaus, more than one fingerprint battle is organized every year.
At the next lower level, there is no such thing as the district or county public security bureau, criminal police brigade or technical appraisal center.
On the one hand, the lower the level, the fewer capable people. For fingerprint battles, there are only two or three big cats and kittens. It is no different from the usual work, so naturally they will not be able to fight.
On the other hand, the energy at the grassroots level is limited, and normal cases cannot be solved, so the backlog of cases will naturally attract less attention.
Haizhou City Public Security Bureau conducts a fingerprint battle every year, usually in early February, which is the eve of the Spring Festival.
The main consideration in choosing this time point is to select participants for the annual fingerprint battle organized by the provincial department in March.
Of course, in the eyes of Yang Sen and Lao Bai, the fingerprint battle at the Haizhou City Public Security Bureau is not very interesting.
The overall situation is that they both know who can do fingerprints.
In the district and county criminal police brigade below, each team can have one person.
The technical appraisal center can produce two people.
In previous years, Liu Guodong attended the Criminal Investigation Detachment.
Generally speaking, there are only a dozen people participating in the fingerprint battle of the Haizhou City Criminal Investigation Detachment.
Without competition, everyone knows that Liu Guodong's technical level is the highest.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to be the head of the criminal investigation team.
But the situation has obviously changed this year.
Liu Guodong picked up the enamel jar and walked to Lu Chuan: "Xiao Lu, this year you will represent our criminal investigation detachment in the municipal bureau's fingerprint competition."
"I have already greeted Team Qin. Passed.”
Lu Chuan nodded. He had no objection to this, but was quite curious.
"Master, what's going on in the fingerprint battle?"
When he was in college, Lu Chuan had heard about the fingerprint battle, but he didn't know what it was about because he had never participated in it.
Before Liu Guodong could speak, Lao Bai joked: "Actually, there is nothing mysterious, just gather everyone in a conference room."
"Each person has a computer, and we build a backlog fingerprint database. Let’s compare together.”
Yang Sen nodded: "Usually we can hang a banner, and the city bureau will also hold a simple ceremony."
"Go, it's good, you can eat and drink well, and you can sleep well." ."
Liu Guodong took out a flower from the foot of the table, smelled it, and lit it: "The fingerprint competition held by our municipal bureau in previous years has more symbolic meaning than practical significance."
"In the bureau. The backlog of cases are all left by our detachment and various criminal police brigades. We have studied them before the battle. "
"If we can't solve it in normal times, we can't solve it in the battle."
Lu Chuan was confused: "Then...the fingerprint battle will be fruitless?"
"That's not true. The city bureau will also put some simpler fingerprints. Anyway, the battle will not be fruitless."
Lao Bai came over and patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the gentlemen in the city bureau are not good at solving cases. They do this kind of thing one by one."
......
February 1st, sunny, 24 degrees below zero.
Today is the coldest day since the beginning of winter. Lu Chuan rushed to the Haizhou City Public Security Bureau early in the morning to report.
The fingerprint competition organized by the Municipal Bureau will start today.
As Yang Sen said, before the fingerprint battle began, the bureau held a simple ceremony.
Deputy Director Wang Kai cordially expressed condolences to everyone.
“I hope everyone will have the courage to break through themselves and create greater glory in the coming week!”
The ceremony was simple, but seeing the deputy director appear, everyone was still very excited.
As a grassroots technical criminal police officer, it is not easy to see the director and deputy director.
Some people, even after working for decades, have never seen what the director looks like.
Of course, after the ceremony, Wang Kai left and everyone returned to their original appearance. Everyone is from the Haizhou City Public Security Bureau, and most of them work in technical positions. Even if there are a few front-line criminal police officers who make guest appearances, everyone is familiar with them.
"Old Zhang, it's been a long time since we last met. The last time we met was in July, right?"
"Brother Wang, let's take a walk and have a smoke?"
"Brother Li, we were friendly last time. Thank you for the road theft case. If it weren’t for your help, that gang of bastards would have run away again..."
Most of the people looked up and did not see each other but looked down, and they were all familiar with each other.
Only for Lu Chuan, no one came to say hello.
However, that doesn't mean that everyone doesn't know where Lu Chuan came from.
The Haizhou City Criminal Investigation Detachment is the superior of the criminal police brigades in each district and county. Lu Chuan represented the Criminal Investigation Detachment in the fingerprint battle this time, obviously coming in place of Liu Guodong.
You know, in the past when Liu Guodong was around, everyone would be around.
After all, the criminal investigation detachment must take action if the grassroots cannot handle things.
But Lu Chuan is young and not well known to everyone.
Lu Chuan was also happy that no one would disturb him. After the ceremony, it meant that the fingerprint battle would begin.
In the conference room, there are two rows of computers, and there are people’s names in front of each computer.
Lu Chuan walked to the first computer on the right and turned it on.
This fingerprint battle lasts for a week, and all food and accommodation will be provided by the city bureau in a hotel.
Everyone, please turn in your phone number and ignore the work of the original unit. Just compare your fingerprints here with peace of mind.
This creates an atmosphere that cannot be created in one's own unit.
For seven days, I looked at the fingerprints specifically. There were some fingerprints that I failed to win before. Maybe in this atmosphere, I could win.
It is still the fingerprint comparison system that Lu Chuan is familiar with.
But in addition, there is also a battle fingerprint database.
The library has accumulated backlog of cases with fingerprint clues from the Haizhou City Public Security Bureau over the past few years.
Cases that can be entered into fingerprint battles are basically cases where the suspect can be directly identified through fingerprints.
So, as long as the criminal police officer responsible for the comparison can successfully compare within the system, it means that the case has been solved.
The rest is to follow the picture and arrest the person directly.
As for whether you can catch someone, it has nothing to do with the fingerprint battle.
Lu Chuan and the others are responsible for technical work, and physical work is not their responsibility.
In just two cigarettes, everyone who had been chatting just now came back again.
Of course, not everyone ran out to smoke.
No matter where you are, there are always people who are alone.
Lu Chuan just took a glance and saw that there were three or five people who, after the ceremony, just like him, sat in front of the computer with his name on it, turned it on, and ran fingerprints.
The conference room gradually became quiet.
Although many people know each other, they are not in the same grassroots unit after all. After chatting for a while, after talking about familiar topics, it is natural to start work.
After all, the fingerprint battle is not a tea party. The colleagues sitting here also have a competitive relationship themselves.
Although the scale of the fingerprint battle organized by the Haizhou City Public Security Bureau is not large, and there are not many cases that can be solved each time, there will still be results after all.
Judging from past experience, most of these results are cases that occurred between the start of the battle last year and the current battle.
Generally speaking, it can be as high as thirty or forty.
This is the case that all the participants are focusing on, because these criminal police officers who have participated in fingerprint battles all year round have chewed it countless times in previous cases.
In fact, many of these cases have become backlogged because they have not been solved.
So, time is very important.
The probability of a new case being caught is higher than the fingerprint. Whoever seizes the opportunity will get the fruit.
Lu Chuan is also looking forward to this fingerprint battle.
