Chapter 1371: Chapter 1295: Non-Invasive Autopsy

"Jiang Yuan, dipersilakan."

The ceremonial officer announced the name, watching Jiang Yuan stand up, guided by the staff to the designated conferment position, then signaled him to perform a bowing ceremony.

Jiang Yuan in full dress watched as the Sultan personally pinned the medal on his chest.

In the Datuk conferment ceremony, this is considered an honor. Most of the time, the Sultan would only hand over the medal and certificate to the honoree, sometimes even dispatching senior officials to complete this task.

Jiang Yuan said in Malay, "Thank you, Your Excellency," and then prepared to bow and retreat like the other honorees.

At this moment, the Sultan, facing Jiang Yuan, customarily said, "Syabas (well done)," and then looked into Jiang Yuan’s eyes, saying, "I hope you can make more contributions to Dama."

The last sentence, slightly beyond the template of the conferment ceremony, made Jiang Yuan have no idea, so he naturally replied, "Of course."

"I believe you can find the truth," the Sultan said seriously once more, patting Jiang Yuan’s chest.

Jiang Yuan finally understood, feeling the power of the hand on his chest and the weight of the medal, replied in Malay, "I will."

Only then did the Sultan drop his hand, allowing Jiang Yuan to bow and step back, then returned to his own position.

The ceremonial officer quickly moved on to the next segment.

Meanwhile, witnessing this scene, Huang Qiangmin immediately started signaling crazily with his eyes to Cui Xiaohu and Chu Guanliang beside him.

Chu Guanliang lightly blinked his left eye, indicating "it has come to this," then blinked his right eye "stay calm."

Huang Qiangmin didn’t understand, but expressed comprehension.

Jiang Yuan returned to the queue, holding the conferred documents and, prompted by the system, opened a blue shimmering interface before him.

The title of "Datuk," listed alongside the previously obtained first-class merits, each with a small "+" on the right side that could be clicked, then allowing one to choose a skill from the vast list.

Jiang Yuan instantly understood that, in the system’s certification, the title of a Datuk was equivalent to obtaining a "first-class merit," at the very least, the rewards given were the same. However, a "Datuk" cannot be obtained repeatedly.

Previously, Jiang Yuan still had a first-class merit skill that had not been redeemed, mainly because his usual skills were already rich enough, redeeming a universal skill was less useful than saving it for special situations. For instance, in cases like explosions, shootings, and poisonings, Jiang Yuan encountered these very rarely and lacked corresponding skills, but if he really encountered a situation where only these skills could solve the case, the designated skill redemption would come in handy.

And today, with the title of "Datuk" obtained, another skill can be redeemed, so there’s no need to reserve two designated skill redemptions so extravagantly.

Jiang Yuan made a choice almost without much thought, selecting "drowning related plankton detection (Level 6)" from the complex tree skill table.

Designated skills are more precise skills; the higher the skill level obtained, the broader the skill, the lower the skill level obtained. On the branch of the "drowning related plankton detection (Level 6)" skill, if he steps to "plankton detection" it is only Level 5, and a more detailed "diatom examination" has Level 7. Although the latter’s Level 7 is very tempting, to speak the truth, Level 7 skills are overkill most of the time.

Level 7 "diatom detection" is like equipping a tank with a 152mm cannon, undeniably deadly when needed, perhaps even with terrifying effects, but in practice, the 128mm rapid-fire gun is equally terrifying and may be more effective on the battlefield.

For instance, having the super-strong Level 7 "diatom detection" ability, in the daily work of the "Taihe Working Group," might add a super strong blade, and with "temporary +1" skills, something extraordinary might happen.

Yet, speaking realistically, Level 7 is already super impressive. Compared to the mere "diatom detection" skill, increasing Level 6 "blue-green algae," "green algae," "euglena," "fungi," and other various drowning markers’ detection capabilities clearly provides broader coverage.

Palpitation.

The ceremony did not last too long and soon entered the media segment.

Especially after the Sultan and the ceremonial officers exited, the following time all belonged to the media.

Not only were there reporters from television stations and print media, but many self-media individuals also came running, holding professional equipment or just a phone, focusing on one or a few people inside to shoot.

Traditional media still needed to consider the screen time and order of each "Datuk," but self-media people had no such consideration. A group of people almost all aimed for Jiang Yuan. Some would initially take shots of others, but after a few shots, their cameras basically turned to Jiang Yuan.

The scene rapidly turned into a Disney spectacle. A long line began to form in front of Jiang Yuan, and those unwilling to queue or stuck in line, would go to shoot others, yet everyone would ultimately want to queue for Jiang Yuan.

Some people were satisfied with just taking photos, while others wanted a group photo or a short interview, Jiang Yuan fulfilled them all.

Having received the title and acquired a skill, letting people take photos did not matter.

The one most worried about mishaps at the scene was originally the police liaison officer Chu Guanliang, who already prepared various statements before coming on stage, planning how to persuade Jiang Yuan.

Yet, seeing Jiang Yuan comply, posing as instructed and taking group photos as requested, he was momentarily dumbfounded.

Ni Cha then brought Zhong Renlong over, exclaiming, "Jiang Yuan, the Datuk is really smart."

"Of course," Chu Guanliang replied, then realized it was Ni Cha who wanted to chat, prompting more naturally, "In what way?"

"In China, media cooperation might not be as needed, where the police powers are still significant. Comparatively, over here, dealing with the media is truly important; with media assistance or even just showing up in media, everything becomes more convenient," Ni Cha elaborately stated, "I know Datuk Jiang doesn’t like being interviewed or taking photos, but his willingness today really shows he’s giving his all for the case."

Zhong Renlong quickly translated and added his understanding at the end, "Having good relationships with media can be half the battle won. Because politicians need media, they tilt resources towards police with media connections."

Chu Guanliang nodded repeatedly, "Jiang Yuan truly cares about the case..."

As he spoke, Chu Guanliang saw two councillors walking toward Jiang Yuan together.

Both saw each other, and for a fleeting moment, their steps paused, but in the blink of an eye, they resumed their steady steps.

Simultaneously, the aides of the two councillors realized something and surged toward their respective councillors, gathering closely behind them to enhance their presence.

The certain self-media person talking to Jiang Yuan consciously stepped back a step.

"No worries, you all talk first," the first-to-arrive councillor gave a gentlemanly nod, pretending to be humble. Ultimately, he came to ride the popularity wave, so why would he let the stars of the show leave?

The later-arriving councillor was the same, deliberately standing behind Jiang Yuan to ensure he appeared in photos as others took them.

The first step in an election is to become familiar with the public, which is usually quite difficult for most councillors. However, the heat Jiang Yuan brought was unmistakably stronger than an ordinary councillor.

The case of Counselor Stewa’s son shooting Counselor Stewa and then randomly killing passersby to test his nerves was gripping enough on its own, not to mention the bloody massacre that followed.

Different media had different angles, potentially spawning many various stories, and each story brought substantial traffic.

After several busy hours, Jiang Yuan finally managed to leave, only to be unsurprisingly blocked at the door.

The person blocking the crowd was a man of about 60 years, dressed extravagantly, coming from a Rolls Royce.

"Kumar, I want him to be responsible for my son’s postmortem," the person stopping shouted to the name of the Dama Police Station chief.

The police chief Kumar joyfully said, "No problem, I will immediately arrange for Datuk Jiang Yuan to perform an autopsy on your son’s body."

"No autopsy allowed. No autopsy!" The old man from the Rolls Royce, using his cane to forcefully pound the floor, said, "As I said before, I demand a comprehensive investigation, but only a non-invasive autopsy can be conducted." noveldrama

The so-called non-invasive autopsy, also known as non-intrusive body examination, refers to examining the body without surgical dissection but using some medical instruments instead. This is necessary for many religious beliefs.

Especially in many cases of unnatural death, because of the uncertainty of a homicide occurring, families demanding non-invasive autopsies pose a particular challenge.

The police chief Kumar opposed further, "Non-invasive autopsies, we have already done, without appropriate conclusions. We truly lack a conventional autopsy now!"

"But Jiang Yuan can do it, right, Datuk?" The old man from the Rolls Royce approached Jiang Yuan, looking up at him, said, "The Sultan stated you have agreed!"
