Bab 264: Chapter 248 Defining the Scope

Medical Examiner Zhai first contacted the Trace Evidence Laboratory to confirm they could expedite his case, and then discussed the issue of wear and tear identification with the director of their own Criminal Science and Technology Center.

The Criminal Science and Technology Center at the provincial bureau carries a higher rank and receives a sizeable annual budget, and they know a good number of scientific research institutions.

In reality, the actual use of science in criminal science isn't as frequent as one might imagine.

Generally, crimes like theft are resolved by internal departments, and everyone prefers not to make things too complicated.

Coordinating with external agencies not only follows certain regulations but also lacks a fixed protocol, which truly is a hassle.

Only in homicide cases and major crimes does everyone pay extra attention, and then it's easier to proceed. Only then it's reasonable to get reports and expenses signed off by the leadership.
