Chapter 112

The wind has risen.

The wind and sand stirred up caused a flurry of panic among the police officers who were smoking around the pomegranate tree, pine tree, broccoli, asparagus fern, spider plant, sensitive plant, and cactus, who all hurriedly poked their cigarette butts into the flower pots and found places to hide from the wind.

At the entrance, Huang Qiangmin drove over.

"Sorry, there was a meeting to attend temporarily." Huang Qiangmin explained casually to the cadre from the provincial department and strode to Jiang Yuan's side.

"Zhu Shi Da Luo"

"Captain Huang." Jiang Yuan greeted him hurriedly.

"Good boy, you really gave us face, not bad!" Huang Qiangmin hugged Jiang Yuan, holding his back and swaying left and right.

Wei Zhengguo and the others dodged one after another.

This action was only done when he was particularly excited; within the criminal police team, it was jokingly called the "Death Roll," and usually only police officers who had been through life and death could enjoy this treatment.

Jiang Yuan was dragged left and right by Huang Qiangmin, and he couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

There is one thing about the police team that makes people feel particularly comfortable: the intimacy between colleagues is much higher than in ordinary jobs, especially among criminal police.

During the case handling period, everyone eats and lives together; during the period of escorting prisoners, everyone sits in the same crowded Santana without air conditioning, and it is very fast to get familiar; those who get along well are also really good.

Many times, this kind of working relationship is the main motivation for everyone to handle cases under the scorching sun, handle cases while going bald, and work overtime with zero salary.

Huang Qiangmin finished hugging Jiang Yuan, let go, and looked at him carefully.

Like a boyfriend in a long-distance relationship traveling thousands of miles by train to see his girlfriend, he looked at Jiang Yuan carefully.

Seeing that his mental state and physical condition were good, and his eyes were upright, not like he had been cheated away by a wild man outside, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had expected Jiang Yuan to shine in the fingerprint battle, but he didn't expect him to shine so brightly!

Solving ten cold-case homicides in the fingerprint battle could be said to be remarkable.

Cold-case homicides are incomparably painful.

Cold-case homicides that have not been solved for years are sometimes more painful and heartbreaking than death itself.

The families destroyed by this are more than ten, and it makes the people around feel a sense of sorrow.

Justice may be late, but it will not be absent. This is where all expectations lie.

"Well done! Amazing! All our police officers are proud of you, and your master has also been happy recently, and even told you to eat more red eggs."

Huang Qiangmin was like a gentle big crocodile, the corners of his mouth smiling at 66.6 degrees, and he couldn't help but pat Jiang Yuan heavily again. If his mouth wasn't big enough, it felt like he wanted to open his mouth wide, bite Jiang Yuan's head, and shake it to express his intimacy and joy.

Jiang Yuan was originally even more intimate when he saw Captain Huang, feeling very at ease.

Captain Huang just had this kind of charm.

It was just that his arm hurt from being patted by him; the force was too great.

He could only giggle foolishly.

Huang Qiangmin looked happily at his team's big treasure, Jiang Yuan, and said to the others on his team, "I'm going in to receive the task; you guys rest for a while, I guess we'll be leaving soon... reminisce for a while first."

Jiang Yuan saw that Captain Wei's Changbai Mountain cigarette was finished, so he took out the soft Zhonghua and distributed them to everyone one by one.

Huang Qiangmin took one first and said, "Fine, then I'll leave after smoking this one."

A group of people pressed the Changbai Mountain cigarettes in their hands into the pomegranate plant pot one after another and switched to the Zhonghua cigarettes handed over by Jiang Yuan.

For those on business trips doing physical labor, just keep your head on your belt; moving at all is considered a loss.

Chatting, smoking, 180 a day, fish if you can.

Just happy.

A bit boring.

Huang Qiangmin went into the police station, and when he came out, Liu Jinghui also came out with him.

He was still giving face to Huang Qiangmin for lending Jiang Yuan, so he was a bit polite, like a tenant to a landlord.

Therefore, Division Chief Liu didn't give any face to the detachment leader of the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment, but here at Huang Qiangmin, the big detachment leader, he received unusual courtesy.

And it was differential treatment in front of colleagues from the provincial department.

This made Huang Qiangmin feel very face-conscious; when he walked out, his waist and back were straight, and the corners of his mouth were also bent at 55.5 degrees, very smug.

The suspect inside, Chen Fan, had been almost squeezed dry.

The cases already confessed involved four deaths, more than ten national second-class or higher wild animals hunted, gang rape, illegal use of firearms, illegal manufacturing of firearms, wildlife trading, etc...

Unless it was a homicide he committed himself, Liu Jinghui estimated that in order to keep his "major meritorious service," he would confess whatever cases he had.

At this time, arresting the main culprits was put on the agenda!

"You have been arranged to go to Jingye Town." Liu Jinghui signaled to the people around him, then pulled Jiang Yuan and said to Huang Qiangmin.

Huang Qiangmin pulled Jiang Yuan to his side before saying, "Why go to Jingye Town?"

"There is a hotel over there, labeled as four-star externally, but in reality, some rooms and facilities are made quite luxuriously; it is the place the five old hunters like to go most." Liu Jinghui said in a low voice, "Chen Fan confessed that every once in a while, they go to the Xinhong Hotel in Jingye Town to enjoy themselves."

"Is there a fixed time?"

"Entering and exiting the mountains, it's impossible to have a fixed time. However, they stay in a separate small building in the hotel every time, leaning against the mountain; if things go wrong, there might be side doors or small doors, so when you go over this time, you must figure out the terrain and environment."

Huang Qiangmin nodded slowly.

Liu Jinghui was more solemn and said, "I tend to arrest them outside the mountains; Jingye Town is the first priority choice. I have also taken responsibility for handing this over to your Ningtai County; you must do the work carefully. These five people are extremely vicious and have weapons; no amount of caution is too much."

As Liu Jinghui spoke, his eyes drifted to Jiang Yuan's side.

Huang Qiangmin didn't need to be told and said, "Jiang Yuan is a technician; he hasn't even fired two bullets, so he won't be allowed to go up."

Jiang Yuan actually wanted to volunteer; since he had become a police officer, who wasn't full of enthusiasm, looking forward to a big battle in a peaceful era. The opportunity right now was really rare.

But on second thought, Jiang Yuan decided against it.

Although he had received training for a period of time before taking the job, that training was indeed too shallow. Compared with that, colleagues who graduated from police school had practiced for two or three years anyway, and with a few years of work experience, their combat effectiveness was not to be mentioned in the same breath.

And in front of a 12-gauge shotgun, bulletproof vests couldn't guarantee anything. If he insisted on volunteering, and things went wrong in the end, he might still need colleagues to protect him.

Jiang Yuan chose to shut up.

Seeing this, Liu Jinghui breathed a sigh of relief; he was most afraid of Jiang Yuan being young and energetic, so he called Huang Qiangmin over before giving the order.

After hearing the murder methods described by Chen Fan, as well as the firearms and supplies used by the five people, Liu Jinghui immediately rejected the plan of arresting them in the dense forest.

The risk was too great; even if they invited the armed police to come over, searching was a problem, and successfully taking them down was even more of a problem.

Reviewing the various dense forest searches since the founding of the country, including the famous arrest of the Two Wangs, even if thousands of people searched the mountains, it might take a long time.

In contrast, these few old hunters were truly a hunting tribe that had stayed in the forest for a lifetime. The surrounding mountains, with Wu Longshan Mountain as the main one, were their home field and hometown. And although the Two Wangs were powerful, they were fleeing in a forest they weren't familiar with and couldn't even find a safe place to stay.

The five hunting old men were too familiar with Wu Longshan Mountain.

Wu Longshan Mountain, which stretches across the borders of two provinces, is not a small hill; the main mountain range alone is over a hundred kilometers long, and the affiliated range is even larger. Jiang Yuan and Liu Jinghui just walked around the old hunting trails on the edge and already felt extremely difficult; if they went deep into the nature reserve, it might really become a protracted war.

Furthermore, the firepower of these few guys was also very strong.

The 9mm pistol had an overwhelming advantage compared to the police's classic small guns.

The double-barreled shotgun also had great power in urban street fighting.

What Liu Jinghui feared most was that the five hunting old men were also carrying Savage M110 rifles. This rifle, which began to be finalized and produced in the 1950s and 60s, had two super strong parameters: extremely high precision and extremely low price.

Counting various modified models, the Savage M110 rifle had sold over 3.4 million units worldwide, which was synonymous with good quality and low price. And its sales in the country in the early years were also good, among which there were many models that could be equipped with scopes.

In view of this, the suggestions put forward by the armed police were all in the form of exercises, first "driving away" the people from Wu Longshan Mountain.

The environment deep in Wu Longshan Mountain is harsh; if there is no need, the hunting old men probably wouldn't want to enter for a long time. At that time, in order to avoid being caught, they were likely to drill out of the forest in advance and stay in a hotel.

Besides Jingye Town, they had footholds in several towns surrounding Wu Longshan Mountain, the so-called cunning rabbit having three burrows.

Liu Jinghui was now considering that their information was not well-informed.

Whether it was the incident in Wenshang, Chen Fan's situation, or the exercises of the armed police, if there were insiders tipping them off, it would be very easy to leak.

But Liu Jinghui analyzed that the hunting old men were just people on the edge of society—committing crimes to this extent, and even developing the habit of killing without blinking, they needed a lot of money to lubricate their interactions with normal humans, let alone insiders.

The expression of killing people without a word could scare people to tears and could scare leaders to death.

"Leave early, prepare more. Try not to enter into an armed confrontation." Liu Jinghui exhorted again and said, "If the armed police here can be transferred, they will send people over; if they can't, it will only depend on you."

"Understood, guarantee to complete the task." Huang Qiangmin's expression became completely serious; this case really required risking one's life.

Jiang Yuan was beside Captain Huang, listening to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but feel surging emotions, becoming excited, his palms couldn't help but clench into fists.
