Chapter 419

~8 min read 1,510 words

"Here is our police combat command headquarters. I heard that a major case investigation is currently underway, so we are not allowed to enter to film..." Li Ting, a reporter from Shannan Satellite TV, wore a capable trouser suit, waved her slender arms twice, and greeted the camera to come forward.

Compared with the "Changyang Daily," the influence of Shannan Satellite TV is much greater, which also indirectly shows the anxiety of the bureau chief.

Yu Wenshu followed along cooperatively, answering questions when asked, and staring at the surroundings when there were no questions, so as not to let any police officer cause a big news story for him.

"Can you give a general introduction to the investigation case we are currently conducting? We won't talk about the specific case now, just talk about the police's preparation here, such as how many police forces are planned to be used and what kind of investigative methods are adopted?" Li Ting had a very good temperament and spoke in a tone of discussion.

Yu Wenshu said with a serious expression: "We cannot disclose the specific details of the case under investigation. As for the police's deployment... I can only say that we are mobilizing as many personnel and resources as possible and are doing our best to solve the case."

"Okay, then we also wish the police's operation a complete success!" Li Ting said, putting down the microphone, signaling the cameraman to turn off the camera, then smiled at Yu Wenshu and said: "Detachment Chief Yu, you have to disclose some information to us, so that when we play the video later, we will have something to edit."

Yu Wenshu smiled bitterly: "We really cannot disclose the specific details of the operation now."

Li Ting explained: "No need to disclose details. Just let us see your preparation work, such as the training the police officers did for this case, the equipment prepared, the emergency assembly... just like some documentaries of major police operations. You should have seen them. We will follow and film, but it won't be broadcast now. Finally, after your case is solved and the review allows it, we will broadcast it."

Yu Wenshu understood a little bit.

However, his trust in reporters was very low, so he said: "I'll go make another phone call."

After a series of communications, Yu Wenshu came back and said: "Filming is allowed, but it is absolutely not allowed to be broadcast in advance. All content filmed today must be subject to written permission before it can be broadcast."

"Okay." Li Ting actually didn't care. She was also here to do a task, and instead felt that Yu Wenshu was a bit fussy.

Of course, she is a beauty, and a beauty with temperament, so naturally she wouldn't say that.

Li Ting also said with a smile: "Sorry to trouble Detachment Chief Yu. Shall we film the equipment you prepared first? For example, vehicles, police equipment, etc.?"

Mm, this is okay. Yu Wenshu made a round of phone calls and relaxed a bit. The management of satellite TV reporters is still relatively strict. With the permission of the Municipal Bureau's Propaganda Department, there are still many things they can film. Just as Li Ting said, some documentaries assisted by the police before even had arrest scenes.

However, serial killers are still too sensitive. Once this news spreads, the citizens will be the first to be panicked.

Li Ting's proposal to look at the equipment was much easier. It just so happened that the Changyang Municipal Criminal Police Detachment had prepared a lot recently, so Yu Wenshu generously took Li Ting to see it.

The first place they arrived at was the parking lot. A row of police cars, dozens of them put together, was very shocking. The few big guys next to them were even the town-house treasures of the Changyang Municipal Bureau.

Li Ting immediately took the cameraman up to film and asked: "Detachment Chief Yu, is your recent major operation planning to use so many police cars?"

"This is just a part of it." Yu Wenshu thought to himself, Xu Taining is preparing to investigate tens of thousands of people, and once this kind of investigation starts, it certainly cannot be said to be done slowly by dividing areas and time. First, it is to hold down a few pieces, dig deep and thoroughly. The more unwilling they are to participate in the investigation, the greater the suspicion in this environment.

Li Ting didn't understand so much and specifically asked about the allocation of police cars and the number of people deployed.

Yu Wenshu answered one by one, and his mood gradually relaxed.

Then, several people went to film the police equipment and specifically found a few usable firearms to film.

After filming for a long time, Yu Wenshu even called two police officers who looked a bit handsome to come over and help pose for 20 or 30 minutes.

Li Ting was slightly satisfied, communicated with the cameraman in a low voice, and said: "Okay, Detachment Chief Yu, let's film here for today. After you start the operation tomorrow, we will come over to film a departure scene, okay?"

"Okay, okay, then I'll call someone to see you off." Yu Wenshu breathed a sigh of relief and hoped that Li Ting and others wouldn't cause any trouble tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the official start time of the investigation. In the previous few days, Xu Taining also led several teams to do basic research.

Various machinery processing enterprises in the city that have lathes and electric saws basically need to be filed. However, this kind of data has timeliness, and the larger the scale, the better it is done. Those small factories and small shops that open today and close tomorrow will only exist in some tables for a short time.

For this reason, Xu Taining sent out the four brigades of the Criminal Police Detachment, plus a few personnel drawn from the office. Hundreds of people were divided into teams of two or three, not only connecting with the police stations in various districts and counties but also asking for lists from departments such as Industry and Commerce, Power, Environmental Protection, etc.

Only after the investigation was completed did he dare to start the screening—yes, hundreds of people doing the investigation, for Xu Taining, were just appetizers.

When Xu Taining was invited by Jiang Yuan to Luyang City, he only used a team of a few thousand people, which was already a considerable reduction based on the local financial situation.

From the perspective of yielding to reality, Xu Taining can be said to be a very flexible person. Perhaps it is because the work of conducting investigations is too realistic in itself. In the capital, tens of thousands of people can be used for ordinary homicide cases, while the total police force of a county is no more than a thousand. Investigation itself serves reality.

Yu Wenshu hadn't sent the reporters and cameramen to the car yet when his own phone rang.

When you are a criminal police officer, your phone ringing makes you inexplicably nervous, especially as it gets closer to off-duty time.

Yu Wenshu answered the phone with a serious expression, and his expression quickly became uncertain.

Li Ting, as a reporter, immediately waved her hand and pulled the cameraman back over.

After Yu Wenshu hung up the phone, Li Ting immediately followed to the side, without saying a word, just blinking and acting cute.

For an old man of Yu Wenshu's age, how could he resist this? He hesitated for a moment and said: "We are preparing to dispatch a batch of police forces here, and you can just film it."

Li Ting agreed happily and then asked: "Is it because of what case that you are dispatching? Can you say?"

Yu Wenshu hesitated for a moment but still didn't say.

Soon, more than a dozen police cars drove out.

This batch of people was naturally looking for the nail gun killer.

Jiang Yuan determined that the source of the nails in the nail gun was a factory store called Hubao. The scale of the factory was not large, and the only channel for sales to Shannan Province was the internet. Moreover, in the past few months, except for Jiang Yuan's order, only three other customers had purchased them.

A simple comparison showed that the suspicion of two of the customers was very low. Only the third customer didn't write a name but left a mobile phone number. Following up on it, he was single, had a house, had no renovations recently, was also an electrician, his parents died early, and his personality was withdrawn... He was almost fully stacked with buffs.

The only worry Yu Wenshu had, or rather, the happy trouble, was how to face Xu Taining next.

Xu Taining had done his best to help the client save money. Suddenly telling him that all the preparations he had made were useless—what should be done about this?
