Chapter 1199: Chapter 1129 Wealth
When Wang Zhancheng was directing the deploynt of the armored vehicles, Jiang Yuan was also busy orchestrating his own team.
The 80 kilograms of arms didn’t just fall from the sky. Observing the surveillance footage of Xiao Peng’s vehicle at that ti, the individuals appeared to be in the middle of transport, suggesting that Ping ng City was likely a transit hub.
Furthermore, what was the purpose for delivering the arms? Were they waiting for another transfer, or had they been distributed locally?
Unlike Liu Jinghui, who has a tendency for divergent thinking, Jiang Yuan focuses on finding evidence once he identifies a potential issue.
With the readily available Image Reconnaissance Brigade by his side, already well-trained, two hours were sufficient for Jiang Yuan to search up to very peripheral locations.
Through the screen, Jiang Yuan briefly gave an explanation, while emails, faxes, and photos with addresses and phone numbers were sent to Wang Zhancheng.
Wang Zhancheng was stunned for two seconds and then laughed, saying, “Never fought such a well-supplied battle.”
“During our pursuit, we saw them transporting similar arms cases. Ensure safety.” Jiang Yuan specially reminded.
“Understood. I get it.” Being a lifelong policeman, Wang Zhancheng’s boiling blood was starting to distill into his brain, and while thinking, he added with a bit of determination, “I’ll communicate properly with this side and strive to get a few more armored vehicles!”
The recent battle wasn’t lengthy, but it was highly intense—to the standard of the police, it could rank nationwide. Not to ntion, the few grenades thrown by the perpetrators—were those just grenades? Those were the second-class rits for the armored vehicle operators and accompanying infantry!
Moreover, the long guns thrown by the criminals during their surrender could easily cause tension.
For a police team leader like Wang Zhancheng, not only did he have to consider capturing the criminals, but he also had to prevent them from running out with guns.
In the dostic environnt, no one could accept an ard criminal wreaking havoc in a bustling comrcial district.
At this mont, Wang Zhancheng’s mind had already started to cool down, even feeling a bit cold.
This group must be caught entirely!
Jiang Yuan was a bit surprised at Wang Zhancheng’s resolve; it’s one thing to ask for help, but mobilizing armored vehicles isn’t that easy.
“That’s the best. I’ll send two people over as liaisons, contact them whenever needed.” Jiang Yuan added so assurance for Wang Zhancheng.
Wang Zhancheng imdiately understood and thanked profusely.
Jiang Yuan turned and called Shen Yaowei over, saying, “Take soone and quickly head to Ping ng City. It’s best if the progress there is smooth. If there’s anyone on the run or anything that needs tracking, actively get involved.”
“Yes.” Shen Yaowei looked quite pleased, feeling recognized that he could manage things independently.
Liu Jinghui coughed twice, pulling Shen Yaowei aside, “Do you know why you’re being sent to Ping ng?”
Shen Yaowei: “To facilitate communication?”
“If it’s just for communication, aren’t phones more useful than you?” Liu Jinghui scoffed.
“Then?” Shen Yaowei vaguely had an idea but didn’t want to say it outright.
Liu Jinghui, being fond of teaching, straightforwardly said, “We’re not familiar with Ping ng and haven’t dealt with them before; this case just happened to land here. Whatever happens, when you arrive, do a good selection job. You have to be accountable for what you say, only then will Jiang Yuan dare to trust you.”
Shen Yaowei’s nerves instantly returned to the Shen Family’s average level.
“Yes.” Shen Yaowei answered more seriously this ti.
Liu Jinghui nodded, seeing Shen Yaowei and the others off. Returning, he found Jiang Yuan writing another small note.
In the absence of clues, any clue is precious.
And once a case has progressed, clues start becoming less scarce.
The key now is execution and expanding results.
On this aspect, Jiang Yuan didn’t need to remind anyone; Director Xu and others initiated contacts on their own.
On the sa day.
Several streets in Ping ng City were blocked off.
And the blockade plans were supported by the provincial departnt. Not particularly practical, but comforting for Wang Zhancheng.
Jiang Yuan also kept watching the images with the Image Investigation team, while waiting for the results from the Ping ng City Bureau.
Under multiple pressures, Wang Zhancheng developed mouth ulcers in just one afternoon.
No one felt sorry for him.
At this ti, with superiors worried about incidents, locals worrying about the matters, and subordinates worried about becoming issues themselves, what happened to Wang Zhancheng didn’t really matter.
Two hours later.
Wang Zhancheng directly closed down video communications, elegantly calling it “focusing on command.”
Including Director Xu, Jiang Yuan, and others, no one said much; if it were them, they wouldn’t have done a live broadcast under these circumstances. The risk was too high, and it had no significance.
All social protocol holds no aning before a group of ard criminals and Type 92 IFVs.
Jiang Yuan and others could only look at the textual updates being sent occasionally.
“Starting the attack on point 2.”
“Point 3 has been surrounded.”
“Point 2 has surrendered.”
“Only a small amount of ammunition and one pistol found at point 2.”
“Currently negotiating with points 3 and 4.”
Without witnessing the scene, Director Xu and others also visibly relaxed a bit.
“No idea if they used the armored vehicles again.”
“Surely they were used; they were all deployed over … judging by their updates, they probably didn’t fire any more shells.”
“They’ve mobilized quite a few troops. These rats have nested in the city, not sure if they can be thoroughly surrounded.”
Several people chatted in the command room, there was no need to avoid others, the situation was just what it was…
Director Xu personally brought a peeled polo to Jiang Yuan, smiling, “Jiang Yuan, the case on this side seems about done. Once Ping ng takes down a few bases, this line should be completely dismantled… You know, the Zhang Lei murder case, without your involvent, would indeed beco a cold case.”
Director Xu felt relieved and imdiately began planning for the aftermath.
While homicide cases have decreased, the total number of cases remains substantial. For a unit like the police bureau, resolving any significant case imdiately frees up a lot of manpower. It’s akin to how Li i bombed Honshu, where missions are theoretically unlimited. Therefore, if any city can be burned away, other cities can imdiately get more air ti and incendiaries.
For past cases, Jiang Yuan might also be willing to hand the latter stages to local police for handling, assuming the local police could complete the entire investigation in a smooth scenario. In less favorable cases, dual-front operations or remote assistance would roughly suffice.
The investigation ti for a homicide case is extrely long; with all the evidence fixed, interrogations completed, plus docunt preparation—it can be likened to bidding for a major project.
However, this case involves eradicating all related individuals.
Jiang Yuan gently shook his head, saying, “In principle, the Zhang Lei case should be nearing completion, but now involving the arms case, I worry about the subsequent clues breaking off.”
“In such cases… tracing back three levels is already quite good.” Director Xu spoke truthfully in front of a bunch of professionals.
Cri syndicates are often self-contained systems.
Criminal gangs that can survive for a long ti must have so counter-investigation thods. At the very least, preventing chain reactions must be achieved. Otherwise, revealing any mber could lead to total dissolution, which ans their error tolerance is too low.
For the current case, with such large movents in Ping ng, gang mbers along the line will shrink back; it’s challenging to even trace back a level to capture them. What Director Xu ntioned about tracing three levels back assus effective secrecy thods.
Jiang Yuan understood this logic but still lightly shook his head, saying, “Proactively involving ourselves is definitely better than losing the trail and then getting involved later.”
Director Xu perked up at that, “What exactly constitutes active involvent?”
“Mm…” Jiang Yuan pondered for a few seconds, feeling it was tough to articulate, when new information ca through.
“Among the arms dealers captured in Ping ng, soone has confessed to their trade routes.” Pang Jidong ca to report, “The buyers are mostly mine owners and active organization mbers, with so purchasing for private hunting… Additionally, so mountain villages planting certain crops, routing products, also account for part of their clientele… The source should be overseas smuggling.”
Jiang Yuan and others’ expressions didn’t change.
The strict gun ban in China mostly manifests in the civilian society. But from a police perspective, the national gun ownership still isn’t small, rely a matter of usage or not.
No extensive data needed, just from watching anti-drug docuntaries, drug dealers are frequently ard and violently resist law enforcent. Moreover, China’s drug trade isn’t only satisfying the demands of 5 million addicts but also involving cross-border transportation. Smuggling operations follow a similar template.
There’re three known ‘black gun’ counties in the country: Hualong, Songtao, and Beihai. Nationwide, most “Lanzhou noodle” shops are run by people from Hualong. Keeping such local support, even offering actual financial aid indicates it’s not rely a poverty alleviation effort.
However, the quality of handmade guns can’t match that of factory-produced arms. The danger of smuggled weapons isn’t even in the sa league.
“Do you have a list of buyers?” Liu Jinghui asked.
“Currently there’re 8 nas, with 3 identified.” Pang Jidong replied.
“Let see it.” Jiang Yuan reached out for the list, eyes slightly squinting.
