Chapter 1111: Hard to Read Scripture

"These three people didn't leave behind any facial information that can confirm their identities."

When Cui Xiaohu's phone call came back, his tone carried solemnity.

Law enforcement departments are already very skilled at using facial recognition systems. Common ones, such as high-speed rail stations and airports, not only require facial recognition to pass through, but the cameras overhead are also operating at all times. And friends who have experience with traffic police inspections also know that the traffic police's handheld devices basically scan a face to obtain the person's ID number, vehicle license, and even hotel check-in records, etc.

Similarly, facial information also has database issues and permission issues, but no matter how you calculate it, when Cui Xiaohu can't find relevant information here, it means the three are basically drifting outside the mainstream system.

If these people were very poor, it would actually be quite normal. Some people have never taken a high-speed train or plane, nor have they entered any strange places, so leaving a blank face is understandable.

But the three were driving an Audi, even if it was just a "back-door" car, or rather, precisely because they were driving a "back-door" car and were also blank-faced, it made them seem not so innocent.

"Professional?" Jiang Yuan held the phone, immediately recalling the various cases he had handled.

"Very likely." Cui Xiaohu's tone was quite happy, saying: "It looks like you've touched another major case again. I'll say... I'll tell the department later and have it registered for you."

"Uh, okay. Many thanks, Section Chief Cui." This is something grassroots police stations are begging for, and Jiang Yuan had nothing to be coy about.

Cui Xiaohu laughed: "What 'Section Chief Cui'... The key is still that you can solve the case. Otherwise, if I register the case for you and it's not finished, or it ends up half-baked, no one's face will look good. Well, let's talk about the case. If they are professional criminals, what type do you think they would be?"

"Zhang Lei himself is a professional criminal; this is hard to say. Maybe he offended someone, maybe there's a conflict of interest..." Jiang Yuan said casually, thinking of Liu Wenkai's speculation in his mind, his heart moved, and he said: "Maybe he had an affair with another boss's woman, and someone was sent over, or someone was hired."

"Messing with a boss's woman? Is this Zhang Lei that brave? Isn't their Binren Gang itself involved in the sex industry? Are they short of women?" Cui Xiaohu, after all, was in the ministry, and his imagination was obviously not as comprehensive as the grassroots police.

Jiang Yuan remembered what Liu Wenkai had said and explained on his behalf: "Maybe Zhang Lei is particularly good at 'handling' women, so he attracted the boss's woman?"

"Taking the initiative to throw herself into his arms? That awesome?" Cui Xiaohu was astonished again, then wiped the corner of his mouth and said: "What you said makes sense. If it wasn't the boss's woman taking the initiative, he probably wouldn't have dared."

"That's not necessarily..."

"You mean..."

"In short, we should consider the factor of professional killers." Jiang Yuan said so much just for the four words "professional killer."

Although movies and TV shows often portray it, for the police, "professional killer" is actually a very strange term.

In fact, once a person is willing to kill, it basically means they are already willing to bear the highest level of risk. At this time, finding the project with the greatest return is the way to go.

This doesn't need guidance from books or teachings from predecessors; it is a choice that can be made by human instinct. The smarter a person is, the more they should be able to find high-return projects.

Killing for others is almost the lowest choice. Under normal circumstances, this choice shouldn't be made. A very reasonable scene description: a professional killer should at least collect a deposit, right? Then what is the correct choice for the killer after receiving the deposit? Could it be to abide by the spirit of the contract and then start killing in a mode that violates the human social contract?

Killing leads to life imprisonment, while fraud only leads to a few years before coming out. A professional killer who knows how to calculate should run away after receiving the deposit.

If it's just for money, isn't it a better choice to defraud a few evil, stupid, and cowardly financiers?

However, to say that professional killers don't exist at all is also a bit biased.

The world is too big, the population is too large, and all kinds of weird species exist.

If a person is reasonable, understands analysis, loves reading crime novels, and can weigh the pros and cons in practice, usually, they don't need to struggle with whether to be a professional killer or not.

But as a police officer, to say the four words "professional killer," Jiang Yuan still needs a bit of foreshadowing.

Cui Xiaohu could fully understand Jiang Yuan's concerns and said intently: "Dark web?"

"It could also be someone hired by a boss." Jiang Yuan added. He didn't think it was someone hired by the Binren Gang boss, although the latter might have this ability, but just like what was said during the interrogation, there was no need.

Cui Xiaohu became solemn: "This situation must be taken seriously. They must not be allowed to form a pattern."

"Well, we'll speed up the investigation. In addition, Section Chief Liu is considering whether it could be a new drug route, because it was three people running wildly for 1,000 kilometers, so I also want to ask about relevant intelligence."

Jiang Yuan mentioned the second purpose of the phone call.

"I know. I'll call and ask immediately." Cui Xiaohu agreed immediately.

Drug transport routes at home and abroad actually have established routes, and most of the routes are mastered by the police, just because of limited conditions, they cannot be completely blocked. Or rather, it is precisely because they are difficult to block that they become drug routes. And any drug group or drug gang that can open up a drug route will immediately possess the "qualifications of a king."

Just like the traditional drug route to Japan, it is landing in Fukuoka and transporting by road to Tokyo. This is a route that all police know; the risk factor is high, but because the traffic volume is too large and there is no specific drug information, the police can only conduct spot checks at most, so the route is still in use today.

The emerging route to Japan is transporting from Anhui Province to Shanghai, flying directly to Narita Airport as a human courier, and relying on the method of smearing grease to counter police dogs. If you win, you get Kabukicho; if you lose, you get Fuchu Harumicho.

Larger-scale drug trafficking groups operate larger-scale drug networks. Not to mention the traditional "Golden Triangle" and "Golden Crescent," the slightly newer "Silver Triangle" is from the Andes and Amazon regions of Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil, transporting output directly to China through containers or ship structures on ocean-going freighters. Not to mention anything else, just the number of 100,000-ton freighters coming from Brazil is unknown.

The newer "Black Triangle" follows the "Atlantic-Guinea" channel, composed of Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Sudan, and the South African border, as well as the Gulf of Guinea.

These transport channels were also tested by drug traffickers with their lives, and the police's task, at least so far, can only increase the costs of drug trafficking groups and make them pay more lives.

The so-called International Criminal Police Organization and the like are more for dealing with this kind of transnational criminal organization.

And for ministry police like Cui Xiaohu, this is also the type of case they value most.

Talking about the request to call up surveillance videos along the route, Cui Xiaohu agreed fully.

Jiang Yuan put down the phone, smiled at Liu Jinghui and the others waiting, and said: "Section Chief Cui is still quite active."

"You've already made the request; how could they not be active." Liu Jinghui said with a bit of resentment. Similar scenarios, if he were the one to propose them, even the provincial department would have to consider them repeatedly.

Although Jiang Yuan always provides a large amount of objective evidence, in this case, Jiang Yuan didn't actually provide evidence either.

"It's also that the case type is more concerned." Jiang Yuan replied.

"This is also... whether it's buying murder or drug cases, they will be relatively complicated. The subsequent investigation is afraid it won't be easy." Liu Jinghui didn't use the term "professional killer." Those who do "temporary work" for killing are always more common than those who do it for life.

"Look at the surveillance video along the route? The workload is a bit large, but the difficulty should be okay." Jiang Yuan smiled.

Liu Jinghui laughed and shook his head, saying: "The difficulty of you looking at surveillance is not too high, but wanting the police stations along the route to cooperate... Even if Cui Xiaohu comes forward, people will at most give the ministry a face, and when they call, they will definitely say 'good, good, good.' When it comes to actually calling up data, not to mention anything else, people have to have time, and someone has to be willing to work for you."

"This... is true." Jiang Yuan is not a newcomer either, so he naturally knows this truth. In fact, if other units now require the Ningtai County Bureau to cooperate in investigating certain data, the Ningtai County Bureau will definitely prioritize Jiang Yuan's side first, and then respond to other requests.

"We can find acquaintances first. With them lubricating, the actions of relevant provincial departments or city bureaus should all be faster."

"Okay, then let's make a list first."

"Okay. Later, for provinces and cities where we can't find connections, we'll find acquaintances through acquaintances. With your current fame, finding people shouldn't be a problem." Seeing the "dragon" nod, Liu Jinghui felt very gratified. The value of a "dragon knight" is precisely to point out the direction for the dragon.

"Swallowing wind and kissing rain, burying the sunset, never hesitating; bullying mountains and chasing seas, treading on snow paths, never despairing..."

Jiang Yuan's phone rang.

"Unknown number." Jiang Yuan said and answered: "Hello, hello... Oh, oh, many thanks, okay... Many thanks..."

Jiang Yuan ended the call quickly and looked up: "It's the Image Reconnaissance Brigade of the Pingmeng City Bureau. They said they heard about our desire to retrieve the video database and are sending people over to cooperate with us now."

"Cooperate with us?" Liu Jinghui was puzzled. His first thought was, could it be that some bureau is poor and crazy, or is there some strange local policy...

"That's what they said." Jiang Yuan said, and the phone rang again.

Jiang Yuan answered, greeted, and put it down.

Before he could speak, the phone vibrated again: "Swallowing wind and kissing rain..."

Jiang Yuan turned on the speakerphone this time.

Soon, a police-style bass came from the phone: "Director Jiang? I am Wang Jian, the Political Commissar of the Zhanqiu Image Reconnaissance Detachment. I heard that you need us to cooperate in providing some surveillance data. How about this: I will arrange for our professional police officers to bring computers and keys over first. He has already set off; the high-speed rail is about an hour, and counting the travel time before and after, it should be there in two hours or so..."

Liu Jinghui couldn't help but look at Pang Jidong.
