Lin Qing walked up to the unconscious tall man and squatted down to grab the center of the handcuffs that locked his hands. He was about to perform a fingerprint recognition but frowned slightly.
He turned his head to look at Team Leader Han and said, "Team Leader, this man seems to have a habit of eroding his fingerprints; the fingerprints on all ten fingers are damaged."
"Oh? Then let's do facial and iris recognition," Team Leader Han said.
In today's age, most infants have iris and DNA recognition done shortly after birth, which are entered into a unified database.
Even if not recorded at birth, as they grow up and go through household registration or identity card processes, they are required to undergo multiple collections.
The iris contains a series of complex texture features that solidify soon after birth, making it difficult to acquire and nearly impossible to replicate or forge, ensuring uniqueness and stability.
This has made iris recognition a highly precise biometric technology.
"I'll help you."
Qin Qin immediately took out an eyelid fixating gel specifically used on unconscious individuals, making the tall man open his eyes.
However—
"Team Leader, it's still not working."
Lin Qing frowned slightly and said, "Facial and iris recognitions are also useless; the database can't find this person."
Team Leader Han squinted his eyes and said, "It seems this person is either unregistered or has undergone plastic surgery and had an artificial iris transplanted."
If it was the latter, it must be to evade recognition and comparison.
In today's urban infrastructure, where facial, fingerprint, and iris recognitions are often necessary, even after plastic surgery reconstructions are required, fugitives naturally need to purchase illegal "fingerprint sets" and secure artificial iris for convenience.
But matching all three is very difficult, only adequate for general recognition.
Once a Patrol Officer personally verifies, it becomes troublesome.
"Maybe he's a big fish…"
Team Leader Han immediately instructed, "Qin Qin, did you bring the DNA analyzer? Do the DNA recognition now."
"Yes," Qin Qin nodded, immediately took a blood sample, and then quickly went to fetch the analyzer.
"Team Leader, are we doing the DNA analysis now?" Lin Qing looked towards Team Leader Han.
"No worries, the new generation of microfluidic high-speed DNA analyzers only need twenty minutes."
Team Leader Han shook his head and then glanced over the people at the scene, saying, "I'll keep watch here; you continue with the search, everyone must undergo identity verification."
"Okay." Lin Qing nodded and continued the search.
After everyone at the scene had undergone facial and fingerprint recognition and their identities were confirmed, more than twenty minutes had passed.
Qin Qin sat at a booth, uploading the DNA data analyzed by the DNA analyzer, and soon found a matching sample in the database.
Looking at the data on the computer, she couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and turned her head to Team Leader Han, saying, "Team Leader, come take a look!"
"Wang Hengyi, maintain order at the scene. Lin Qing, come with me."
After giving the order, Team Leader Han immediately led Lin Qing toward Qin Qin.
"Team Leader, take a look, it really is a big fish!" Qin Qin lowered her voice, but the excitement in her tone was still evident.
Lin Qing also looked carefully and couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment.
[Jiang Chengwu, male, thirty-four years old, born in Yiyang, Xiangjiang Province.
Previously sentenced to life imprisonment for black boxing and the Chongyang Reservoir massacre case.
Two years ago, after an explosion at Qingcheng Prison, he escaped with dozens of other fugitives.
In September 2118, the Public Security issued an A-level arrest warrant, with a reward money of 150,000 yuan]
"Escaped from Qingcheng Prison?"
Lin Qing had heard of Qingcheng Prison, a first-level security prison that is highly guarded.
Like the powerful fugitive his cousin had encountered, escaped from Qinghu Island Prison.
Qinghu Island Prison is one of the top three prisons in the country, with a security level of 'special-grade.'
Although Qingcheng Prison's security level is one step below Qinghu Island Prison, its supervisory measures are also considered very high; had it not been attacked, this person might not have escaped.
With such a dangerous and ferocious criminal lurking in his neighborhood, no wonder the Order Level was so low!
"Just arrived and already earning merits, lucky."
Patrol Officer Han glanced at Lin Qing, revealing a trace of a smile.
Lin Qing felt a stirring in his heart and immediately asked, "Officer, if we catch this guy, what merit level can we achieve?"
"Look here."
Patrol Officer Han pointed to the screen and said, "The arrest warrant issued by the police is Grade A. The main contributor to solving a Grade A fugitive generally receives a Third-class Merit. Since it primarily depends on you this time, you should be able to receive a Third-class Merit."
He paused then added, "Of course, our team's records will probably also have an additional commendation entry."
Lin Qing couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy.
His cousin had transferred two Third-class Merits to him, and with this Third-class Merit from Jiang Chengwu, he could apply to try learning a Combat Skill!
"Plus, there's a reward money of 150,000 you can claim," Qin Qin said beside him with a look of envy, "Little brother, you're getting rich."
But as much as she envied him, she knew how dangerous it was.
If it had been her in Lin Qing's place, she might have ended up dead on the spot, not to mention any merit or reward money.
Lin Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Do we have to pay taxes on the reward money?"
"Of course not," Patrol Officer Han looked at him.
Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, just need to gather another 30,000 then."
"Gather another 30,000?" Patrol Officer Han asked, "What are you planning to buy?"
"High Energy Release Liquid," Lin Qing had no reason to hide it, "It's 89,999 yuan per set, and this 150,000 isn't even enough to buy two sets."
"Oh?" Patrol Officer Han said, "I can help you buy it through the Inspection Bureau's channels for just 69,999, but you have to use it immediately on the spot in the Inspection Bureau."
"Really?"
Lin Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Thanks, Officer, if it works, I'll give the 150,000 to you, Officer, and consider the extra 10,000 a service fee."
"No need," Patrol Officer Han shook his head, "You've earned this merit, and once you pass the professional exam, you can be promoted within the Patrol Department. Everyone in the Patrol Department has access to this channel, it's a small matter."
Seeing him serious, Lin Qing didn't insist further but instead said, "Then I'll treat you to a meal."
"Sure," Patrol Officer Han wasn't against the idea.
Lin Qing revealed a slight smile.
In the blink of an eye, not only was there a Combat Skill available, but he could also get two sets of High Energy Release Liquid, truly a double blessing.
With this, in just twenty-four days, he could make up for the advance he took on the version 4.6 Practice Method.
Catching more criminals and fugitives, wouldn't that make him rich?
"Officer."
Lin Qing suddenly glanced at Luo Tuo nearby and said, "This Jiang Chengwu is a fugitive, purposely hiding his identity here. Could he possibly be connected to the Blue Scarf Gang?"
"Mmm."
Patrol Officer Han nodded slightly, "The broken lampshade earlier, I suspect, was Luo Tuo's doing. Let's call the forensics department to check the traces."
Qin Qin said, "Officer, I noticed earlier that Luo Tuo has injuries on his fists and neck; he might have also fought in Black Boxing."
"Notify the police then," Patrol Officer Han said, "The rest is up to the police."
Meanwhile, Lin Qing summoned the Entropy panel in his mind.
[Current Order Level: 0.5]
The level of Order directly reflects the stability and safety of his social circle.
Having been targeted by this brutal fugitive, his Order Level had decreased by 0.2.
Now that he dealt with the opponent and eliminated the hidden threat of a fugitive near his home, his life naturally became more stable and peaceful.
This brought his Order Level to 0.2 higher than before.
Just 0.5 more to reach Order Level 1.
"It seems pretty simple..."
Lin Qing felt that reaching Order Level 1 was not too far off, perhaps it wouldn't take much longer.
But, he hadn't expected to be able to learn a legendary Combat Skill so soon and wasn't sure which Combat Skill to choose.
