Chapter 1074: A Rainy Afternoon

Huang Qiangmin pushed the door open and saw a room full of people. He wasn't surprised, bent down slightly, and said humbly: "So many people, everyone is here."

"Having a short meeting." Dai Mingsheng stood up with a smile: "Please sit on the sofa, Political Huang Zhengwei. The conditions here are simple, and the hospitality is poor. Please forgive me."

"No. Your conditions aren't simple at all. The sofa is quite good." Huang Qiangmin touched the leather sofa seat. It really felt quite good. The leather was soft and tough, and the feel was excellent.

Dai Mingsheng laughed twice: "There are quite a few furniture factories on our side. When purchasing centrally, even the furniture factories in the province can't finish arranging it. I'll introduce a few factories to you later..."

"That would be great. Our office building is built, and many office furniture haven't been handled yet..." After being polite, Huang Qiangmin said: "By the way, speaking of the case, Jiang Yuan has finished one, and there is still a tail left, which requires a team from your side."

"People are easy to talk about. Which case did Jiang Yuan choose?" Dai Mingsheng looked relaxed.

Everyone in the office also looked over. Some subordinates lightly opened the laptop they carried with them, ready to search for relevant cases at any time.

For most cases, even cold cases, after a long time, people's memories are blurred. For a case that can make people hang on their hearts, at the level of a provincial capital criminal investigation detachment, it must be an extremely vicious or major case.

Huang Qiangmin straightened his waist at this time, faced Dai Mingsheng, and said: "What our Jiang Yuan just finished is the Li Yaoji Murder Case."

"Huh?" Dai Mingsheng was stunned.

The crowd frowned even tighter. Some even looked around subconsciously, suspecting that there were ears on the wall.

The young police officer with a laptop on his lap listened to Huang Qiangmin's words, entered the words "Li Yaoji Murder Case" synchronously, and was stunned after pressing Enter. This case, actually, where does it need to be checked? The criminal police in Lanyue City are all familiar with it.

Dai Mingsheng had been on the battlefield for a long time. He took a deep breath, smiled, and said: "If Jiang Yuan is willing to choose the Li Yaoji Murder Case, we are definitely welcome, welcome very much. In this way, I will mobilize the relevant personnel of the special task force of that year now. As long as they can get away, I will hand them over to you first to help Jiang Yuan's cold case task force handle the case..."

This is very powerful support. It is equivalent to mobilizing many police officers who are handling cases, some of whom may be on business trips, and handing them over to Jiang Yuan.

Lin Xunlei, who had persuaded Dai Mingsheng to be generous before, said again: "Branch Leader Dai, there is no need to mobilize personnel all at once. You can slow down a bit and let Team Leader Jiang familiarize himself with the case. Of course, I absolutely support Team Leader Jiang and Jiang Yuan's cold case task force to investigate the Li Yaoji case. Jiang Yuan's willingness to choose this case also shows that Team Leader Jiang is really confident. However, the members of the special task force of that year are scattered, and mobilizing them all at once may still require some time and buffer."

Other deputy detachment leaders and detachment leaders also reacted, and they also said they absolutely supported Jiang Yuan's choice of the Li Yaoji murder case, and also persuaded Dai Mingsheng not to invest too many resources at once.

After all, they are all experienced old criminal police. Although they were surprised by Jiang Yuan's boldness, they all knew deeply how complicated and time-consuming it was to solve such a case. Mobilizing a large amount of human resources all at once must have waste.

Dai Mingsheng hesitated and said: "The main members of the previous special task force, the ones responsible for core decision-making were Wang Yu and the others, right? Mobilize them over first to ensure the progress of Jiang Yuan's side. Since Jiang Yuan is willing to choose the Li Yaoji murder case, then our Criminal Investigation Detachment has nothing to say, only full support..."

Dai Mingsheng said it decisively. When everyone heard his angle, they all consciously or unconsciously nodded. Every criminal police team will have a case hanging over their heads, and the Li Yaoji murder case is the hanging case of the Lanyue City Criminal Investigation Detachment!

Huang Qiangmin coughed twice at this time and said: "Branch Leader Dai, there is no need for this, Jiang Yuan is doing the Li Yaoji murder case..."

"I said support, it is absolute support!" Dai Mingsheng blocked with his hand and said to Huang Qiangmin: "Jiang Yuan is willing to choose the Li Yaoji murder case as the opening, which is something I didn't expect. For our Lanyue City Criminal Investigation Detachment, it is also very beneficial. To be honest, Jiang Yuan is thinking for us. If you can do this step, and I, Old Dai, still push back and forth, if it spreads out, I won't be able to be a person. Who will dare to come to help us Lanyue people in the future?"

"That's right." Lin Xunlei stood in front of Dai Mingsheng for the first time and said decisively: "Team Leader Jiang is open and honest. Supporting Team Leader Jiang is also supporting ourselves. I support mobilizing the maximum number of people."

"Support!"

"Support!"

Everyone expressed their positions one after another. Under mutual influence, some people even felt quite emotional. They were still guessing that Jiang Yuan would choose to downgrade the case, handle two or three weaker cold cases, and then choose a high-level case, which would have both face and substance.

Who would have thought that Jiang Yuan would go straight to the biggest and heaviest unsolved case in the Lanyue City Bureau in recent years? This is not just courage, but the "open and honest" mentioned by Lin Xunlei!

People didn't even think about pitting you for a penny of cost. Thinking of this, some people even felt a little ashamed.

Huang Qiangmin was a little dazed amidst the expressions of everyone.

Over the years, how much effort did he have to spend to make a group of people so fascinated.

Now it's good, Jiang Yuan achieved this goal in one morning.

Thinking further, Jiang Yuan was able to lure the Lanyue City Criminal Investigation Detachment into a trap just by choosing the Li Yaoji murder case. This kind of technique—Huang Qiangmin had a second thought: choosing the Li Yaoji murder case actually couldn't be called a technique. Could anyone choose the Li Yaoji murder case? If it weren't for Jiang Yuan, even if Huang Qiangmin knew for a fact that he could lure Dai Mingsheng into a trap, he wouldn't have dared to choose it.

Dai Mingsheng's statement, he is now equivalent to willing to suspend multiple existing cases to support Jiang Yuan. This is such a strong will! Falling on the fishhook, this is a killer whale! Small boats, soft rods, poor techniques, any form of "thin dog" (weakling), once revealed, must be swallowed into the belly by the angry killer whale.

Only Jiang Yuan, who can do the Li Yaoji murder case, dares to come here to hook Dai Mingsheng.

Those with slightly worse technology won't work. Such a big case, spreading out to do it, maybe it's not four clues, but another fourteen clues. By then, the cost of investigating information from many years ago, the killer whales can't bear it, and the fishermen who only have small fishing boats, are even more unbearable.

"Since Branch Leader Dai can say this, I, on behalf of Jiang Yuan, thank you!" Huang Qiangmin figured it out and stepped forward to hold Dai Mingsheng's hand tightly.

"It should be." Dai Mingsheng laughed: "Jiang Yuan dares to choose the Li Yaoji murder case, and I dare not support him? Let's just say, my criminal investigation technology may not be as good as Jiang Yuan's, but in terms of courage, I can't lose again!"

"Branch Leader Dai is absolutely this!" Huang Qiangmin gave a thumbs up: "Jiang Yuan and I have traveled north and south to so many places, and the support of Branch Leader Dai and everyone is the best. I, Old Huang, am deeply grateful..."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Dai Mingsheng was happy.

At this very moment, Huang Qiangmin already knew that Dai Mingsheng had completely misunderstood. Of course, part of the misunderstanding was caused by Huang Qiangmin intentionally, but Huang Qiangmin didn't expect Dai Mingsheng's attitude toward the Li Yaoji murder case to be like this.

Huang Qiangmin is an outsider after all, and he hadn't carefully studied the cases of the Lanyue City Bureau before, especially the ideas of the Lanyue City police system.

By reason, Huang Qiangmin should reveal the answer now and give Dai Mingsheng a little shock.

But Huang Qiangmin is already an adult old man. For an adult old man, if a little shock can't be exchanged for money, and can't cause the exclamation of beauties, then this little shock is really just a little, small.

Huang Qiangmin quickly reversed his psychology and said: "Branch Leader Dai's support I have received, but I still want to confirm. Let's be open and honest. Besides comprehensive human support, in terms of material resources, to what extent can Branch Leader Dai support?"

"Full support, that is, whatever you need, we will support!" Dai Mingsheng said to this point, and he was completely let go: "As long as it is for solving the case, the family background of our Lanyue City Criminal Investigation Detachment can be taken out. If it's still not enough, I'll go to the city bureau to ask for it!"

"What if investigation is needed?"

"Then investigate!"

Huang Qiangmin licked his teeth with the tip of his tongue: "The most common one our Jiang Yuan uses for investigation is Xu Taining. You may not know, Xu Taining is our Shannan Province..."

"I know." Dai M

Huang Qiangmin: "Unless absolutely necessary, our Jiang Yuan wouldn't use screening, but if it's needed, if we have to use screening, the most important thing is that it's effective, right?"

Dai Mingsheng nodded heavily: "Do it! I mean, if we need Xu Chu Taining, I can accept that too. As long as we can solve the case!"

Dai Mingsheng couldn't help but add one last sentence. He could accept smashing the pots and selling the iron, but if he really did smash the pots and sell the iron, he hoped to see results.

Huang Qiangmin nodded steadily: "Since we've said this much, and everyone is here, let me add two more things. Our Ningtai County Bureau isn't wealthy either. Jiang Yuan's cold case task force has over 30 people, most of whom are borrowed. With so many people on business trips, enduring the hardships of travel, the basic expenses are actually nothing; we're just helping a brother unit. But if the case is solved—I mean, if everyone pulls all-nighters and risks their lives to solve the Li Yaoji murder case, what do you say, Detachment Chief Dai?"

"If you can solve the Li Yaoji murder case, especially if you can catch the killer, then I'll agree to whatever you say," Dai Mingsheng said boldly.

Huang Qiangmin shook his head with a smile: "I'm saying, that would be extortion. You say it."

"I really am okay with anything," Dai Mingsheng said, strengthening his tone. "I'll give you my newly replaced Passat, and I won't even bat an eye."

"A Passat, that's acceptable." Huang Qiangmin nodded, then lifted his chin, signaling Dai Mingsheng to continue.

Dai Mingsheng laughed and recited a few more license plates.

Huang Qiangmin continued to nod.

Dai Mingsheng thought for a moment, then simply waved his hand, called the young police officer nearby over, and said, "Didn't you say you prepared a list earlier? The budget list from before, bring it here."

"Yes." The young police officer hurriedly brought over a newly printed document.

Dai Mingsheng flipped directly to the back, glanced at the numbers, shook his head, and said, "This is the previous version."

"The previous version? You didn't say... do you mean the version for the Ningtai people?" The young police officer wasn't quite sure, fearing a mistake, and temporarily used a code word.

At the time, Dai Mingsheng had complained that the budget he listed was too high and asked him, "Are you a Lanyue person or a Ningtai person?"

Dai Mingsheng nodded without hesitation this time: "Since Political Huang Zhengwei has chosen the Li Yaoji murder case, then today, we are all Ningtai people."

The young police officer then hurriedly brought over the previous version of the document.

Dai Mingsheng flipped to the end again, thought for a moment, wrote "? X2" after the number, and then said: "And that other list, the one including the second-hand items you marked, give it to Political Huang Zhengwei. Old Huang, whichever one you fancy, just check it!"

Dai Mingsheng said the last sentence to Huang Qiangmin.

Huang Qiangmin took the two folders, opened them, and glanced at them, his eyelids twitching.

He thought for a moment, then displayed them to everyone present and said, "Do you all agree?"

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"With over 30 people eating, drinking, and working their lives away, as long as we can solve the Li Yaoji murder case, our Lanyue Criminal Investigation Detachment should be the ones to bleed."

"Right!"

Everyone in the office quickly reached a consensus; some even worried that Huang Qiangmin might back out and tried to increase the stakes.

Huang Qiangmin generously refused, simply checked a few pages, and said: "Brothers settle accounts clearly. If you all agree, let's write two sentences and sign it. Then, I'll trouble Detachment Chief Dai to assign a brigade of criminal police to us, and we will officially begin the Li Yaoji murder case."

"Write whatever you want. I'll just sign it!" Dai Mingsheng was extremely straightforward and urged everyone to sign in turn.

On this drizzly afternoon, Dai Mingsheng truly felt that as long as the Li Yaoji murder case could be solved, anything was acceptable.
