Chapter 1160

Crack!

In the gloomy weather, a bolt of lightning struck down, illuminating only the void.

In such weather, if one were alone in a room, one would be a little scared. But if one were in a room with a group of men, all one would get is the stench brought by the humidity.

Jiang Yuan looked at the screen, his brows furrowing unconsciously, and he fanned the air in front of him with his hand.

Seeing this, Wang Chuanxing immediately ordered, "Are the windows all open? Turn on the air conditioners and set them to dehumidify."

"They're all on." The Meiyang Municipal Bureau had sent temporary workers to do these trivial tasks, most of whom were sent because they had some family connections, similar to the bonded servants in the old days who had local guarantees.

"Then buy two more dehumidifiers. For a hall this big, two air conditioners aren't enough. Buy the kind that offers local delivery; it's faster." Wang Chuanxing arranged, then added, "Put the invoice under the Changyang Criminal Investigation Detachment."

They were here to help the Changyang Criminal Investigation Detachment work, so it was only natural for the other side to provide office conditions suitable for human survival.

After Wang Chuanxing finished the arrangements, he looked at Jiang Yuan again and saw that Jiang Yuan was still focused on the screen, so he felt relieved. As long as he didn't delay Jiang Yuan's work, eighty percent of his own job was done.

"Want a meat burger?" Wu Junhao returned at some point, carrying a large box and starting to hand out meat burgers to everyone.

A box full of meat burgers must have cost a fair amount of money.

Wang Chuanxing felt it was a pity just looking at it. He took a meat burger first and then said, "Captain Wu, why do you keep spending your own money? These expenses can just go on Changyang's account."

Wu Junhao slapped his forehead: "I'm used to it. I forgot that we've already come out and that we can get reimbursed."

"I'll help you with the reimbursement. You really are generous." Wang Chuanxing asked for the WeChat screenshots and takeout order information from when Wu Junhao paid and prepared them skillfully.

"My allowance doesn't get spent anyway." Wu Junhao chuckled twice, rubbing his bald head, and continued handing out meat burgers, looking very happy.

Ever since Jiang Yuan arrived, the Ningtai County police system had been upgraded as a whole. With the addition of the Taihe work group, the image reconnaissance brigade, and the patrol and riot police brigade, many high-level police officers had suddenly emerged. For Wu Junhao, it meant his long-awaited deputy section-level treatment was resolved, his daily travel subsidies were increased, and his personal expenses after family harmony had also turned into spiritual needs.

Wang Chuanxing clicked his tongue: "Having a house without a mortgage really is different."

"Our houses are in the county town. If you're willing to buy in the county, it's no problem." Wu Junhao smiled at Wang Chuanxing and said, "You always want to buy a house in Changyang City, so it's bound to be expensive."

"It's not that I have to buy in Changyang City." Wang Chuanxing shook his head and said, "I don't dare take out a loan now. Although I can't save much money, look at Ren Kuangshan. He's just lucky; the car he bought years ago is already paid off, so now he can kill if he wants to kill and run if he wants to run."

Wu Junhao was oblivious to the mood: "How is he lucky? He's got cancer."

"Some people say cancer is a good thing; it lets you know when your life will end, so you can say goodbye to your family properly, and no one will be left with regrets." Wang Chuanxing sighed as he said this.

Liu Wenkai strolled over, but he went to Liu Jinghui and said, "Director Liu, I saw the news updated by the command center. It's said that Ren Kuangshan might have fled to Mongolia. What do you think?"

"Are you talking about that remark the criminal police brought back from their visit?" Liu Jinghui had clearly paid attention to this news, but he shook his head and said, "Too one-sided. Ren Kuangshan was just bragging after drinking and eating barbecue with friends; we don't need to take it seriously."

"What remark?" Wu Junhao was confused.

Liu Wenkai said, "About two months ago, Ren Kuangshan was chatting with friends and brought up Outer Mongolia, saying it was the Koreans' backyard and that the Koreans were running around playing everywhere. Then he said, if the Koreans can play there, why can't we?"

Wu Junhao hissed and added, "If you put it that way, him running off to Outer Mongolia is just a matter of getting a car."

"If he really runs over there, buying a car isn't expensive at all. A stolen Land Cruiser would be more than enough for 100,000 or 200,000. Some herdsmen don't even maintain their cars after buying them; they just drive them until they break..."

Wu Junhao hesitated and said, "On the grasslands, you actually need roads, right?"

Liu Wenkai spread his hands: "Then continue by motorcycle, or carry the motorcycle on the car. Once you're close to the border line, dump the car and ride the motorcycle out."

The border line is far less strict than people imagine. It's not just that the Americans can't stop the Mexicans even by building a wall; China's border line is equally long and complex.

If you look closely at the stories of the border defense troops, you'll find that most of the border defense troops patrol on a daily basis. In other words, for most of the day, during the time the patrol team hasn't arrived or has already left, most of the border line is unmanned, and it's impossible to surround the national border with barbed wire.

Therefore, what the land border blocks is nothing more than highways and railways, plus a few mountain passes and key locations at most. For the rest, the China-Russia border is a sea of forests and snow, the China-India border is like the journey of Tang Sanzang, and the China-Mongolia border is where people live by water and grass. The Southwest border even has one village spanning two countries.

In these places, if you are experienced and can endure hardship, crossing on foot or by mountain motorcycle is no problem. If you are willing to take a little risk, driving across the border directly is not impossible. People who often play in the Southwest have to be especially careful when driving themselves; often, if they are not careful, they will unconsciously drive out of the country.

Liu Jinghui listened to the discussion between the two and asked, "The command center has arranged for people to go over, right?"

"They arranged a team to go over, but it probably won't be of much use. The border area is too large to cover. If someone wants to cross the border, it's just a matter of these few days. By the time they find evidence, the person will have already gone abroad." Liu Wenkai shook his head.

"Without stronger evidence, it should be like this." Liu Jinghui had been in many task forces and naturally gave his judgment: "The task of this team is to find more evidence to help the command center make the right decisions."

Liu Wenkai glanced at Liu Jinghui: "Words like 'finding evidence' sound strange coming from you."

"I'm just good at reasoning; it's not that I don't value evidence!" Liu Jinghui emphasized.

Liu Wenkai chuckled, skipped the topic, and said, "A team running to a strange border area to investigate and find evidence—even if they find it, the opportunity will have long passed."

"Hmm..." Liu Jinghui hesitated for a moment and slowly shook his head: "With just this one lead, it's impossible to send several teams up there. Moreover, even if we send a few teams over, it's still not enough for such a vast area..."

"I have an idea!" Liu Wenkai interrupted Liu Jinghui.

"What serious thing could you possibly..." Liu Jinghui blurted out, then coughed twice and asked, "What idea do you have?"

"Ren Kuangshan being able to say that shows he really has some ideas. A serious person... a serious person wouldn't know about those things the Koreans are doing in Outer Mongolia, right?" Liu Wenkai asked.

Liu Jinghui stared at Liu Wenkai.

Liu Wenkai said indifferently, "I don't care about useless titles like 'serious person'."

"Then you're right." Liu Jinghui said, "Continue."

"Hmm, I was thinking, Ren Kuangshan doesn't really know anything about Outer Mongolia, and his understanding of the China-Mongolia border is probably just what he saw online. In that case, if he really went to the China-Mongolia border, whether to cross the border or whatever, wouldn't it be normal for him to inquire about the sex industry in Outer Mongolia and experience the local sex venues at the same time?"

Liu Jinghui listened and nodded slowly: "Don't say it, you really shouldn't say it..."

"Right. So, I suggest we rush over there now. Don't worry about the border; with such a large grassland, even sending a group army wouldn't cover it. We'll contact the local police, crack down hard on the local sex industry, and then ask around. Maybe someone who wants to earn merit will stand up." Liu Wenkai was also a practical criminal police officer. The strategy he mentioned seemed simple, but its operability was very strong.

In fact, relying on the sex industry to solve major cases is a very realistic approach. In earlier years, when there wasn't so much surveillance and mobile phones, the police often relied on the sex industry to find people.

It's rare for big bosses who commit robbery or murder and get money to be willing to go back to their wives and children. Or rather, most of them are people without wives or children who take risks. Once the excitement of such people passes and they have money in their hands, they inevitably want to find women.

Ren Kuangshan has now left his wife and children behind and is fleeing to the ends of the earth alone. His ability aside, psychologically he is basically a major bandit; it's just that his foundation might be a bit simpler.

Liu Jinghui pondered for a moment and asked Liu Wenkai, "Do you want to go to Mongolia?"

Liu Wenkai nodded, glanced at Wu Junhao, and said, "A person has to have something to look forward to, right? Can't just be fitness and meat burgers every day."

"If you've made up your mind, I won't object. However, judging from the video Jiang Yuan found, Ren Kuangshan is highly likely to have gone in the Northeast direction..." Liu Jinghui confirmed with Liu Wenkai again.

"Let's take a gamble. We don't even need to put up any capital; if we win, we win big." Liu Wenkai was calm.

Jiang Yuan is chasing in the Northeast direction, and Ge Zhibing is blocking in the Southwest. These are tasks at the level of big shots. Even with Ge Zhibing's detachment commander title, he is at least one level higher than Huang Qiangmin. Even so, they are actually gambling, because only one person can win.

If Liu Wenkai could have a chance to block one side alone, not to mention anything else, if he succeeded, he would at least get a second-class merit, and if his independence were a bit higher, it would be a first-class merit. Using the Eight Banners' calculation, it's half a career at the start.

Liu Jinghui didn't say anything more and took Liu Wenkai to talk to Jiang Yuan and Huang Qiangmin. After getting their consent, Jiang Yuan called the command center to apply.

Others might need to say a lot of long-winded things, but Jiang Yuan got it done in a few words.

Having received authorization, Liu Wenkai was overjoyed and said, "I'll go book the ticket now."

"I'll find you a business jet." Jiang Yuan approved of Liu Wenkai's new idea. Although people had been sent to the China-Mongolia border, in terms of actual effect, there were indeed loopholes.

It was now the fourth day after the incident. By the time Liu Wenkai transferred cars and planes all the way there, he might really miss the time.

Liu Wenkai was a bit coy: "A business jet... too luxurious. This isn't good, right? Look, I'm just a deputy section chief..."

"You still need to coordinate and deploy when you get there; time is very tight. Later, I'll contact a few forensic experts I'm familiar with; they are quite familiar with the local criminal police and public security... I'll tell Branch Chief Yu." Jiang Yuan said, picking up the phone again.

Liu Wenkai chuckled: "It's all for work. I heard Ge Zhibing also chartered a plane to go there. Of course, his status is a bit different..."
