Chapter 470

Several Deputy Detachment Captains of the Anti-Drug Detachment, the Political Commissar and Deputy Political Commissar, as well as a few Squadron Leaders or Deputy Squadron Leaders, arrived at the Criminal Police Detachment one after another.

Everyone watched Jiang Yuan's fingerprint identification performance together, and their attitudes shifted one after another from "What the hell is this?" to "Daddy, I want to raise this ghost."

Jiang Yuan had initially thought about whether he should show the politeness of a Ning County native, but in a flash, he saw the system prompt time had shrunk to 220 minutes, and he didn't want to pay attention to anything other than the evidence anymore.

Whatever happens, wait until after 220 minutes. In the remaining less than 4 hours, he didn't want to deal with anyone.

The most valuable time was these initial 405 minutes. By tomorrow, even if he could still use fingerprints to fish out some criminal suspects, the effect would be worse, and the efficiency would be lower, because they would all be second- or third-hand fingerprints.

Moreover, there was still that saying: a high difficulty coefficient for a fingerprint doesn't mean the fingerprint's value is necessarily high. Without knowing the source of the fingerprint, spending an hour or two of hard work to process a super-high-difficulty, problematic fingerprint might only lock onto a decadent drug addict who is middle-aged, graduated, has loans but no house, has a broken family, is in rags, has ED, shrunken testicles, high myopia, is sickly, has no face to seduce anyone, doesn't read porn online, has no money to visit prostitutes, has no strength to rape, and no guts to commit suicide.

Therefore, when the cooldown ends tomorrow, assuming the Anti-Drug Detachment still has needs, Jiang Yuan will use the temporary +1 on skills other than fingerprinting.

On the conference table at this moment, there wasn't just fingerprint evidence piled up, but also a large amount of footprints, traces, and scene photos, etc. It was just that biological samples like DNA hadn't been sent over.

Calculating it this way, 405 minutes was also quite tight.

It was fortunate that it was 405 minutes. If the time were too short, only an hour or two, he could only target individual fingerprints, and there wouldn't be many opportunities for this kind of gang-style elimination and batch-processing of criminals.

The people from the Anti-Drug Detachment didn't care about Jiang Yuan's attitude either. Everyone had put down their work and made a special trip back to the Criminal Police Detachment; they certainly weren't there to experience the attitude of a young man.

In fact, these people were busy with their own things on weekdays and didn't necessarily see each other once a week. Now that they had bumped into each other, they simply gathered together and started discussing in low voices.

Now that it was confirmed that Jiang Yuan had matched over a hundred criminal suspects, and they had truly seen the list of so many criminal suspects—some of whom were drug traffickers who had served time in prison before—everyone started to feel a bit reluctant to let them go.

When to take action became the focus of the discussion.

The printer creaked and spat out paper, like a middle-aged man who runs five kilometers every day, climbing the stairs with his worn-out knees.

Wang Wang Chuanxing was doing the organizing work and couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuan with admiration.

In an environment with so many leaders, he could actually still focus on doing fingerprint analysis. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to do it.

If he had the same opportunity, Wang Wang Chuanxing would definitely choose to flatter them, get familiar with them, add them on WeChat, leave his phone number... He didn't have very high ideals or very big goals, but being a grassroots police officer certainly wasn't his purpose for testing into the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment.

Joining Jiang Yuan's team and following Jiang Yuan's rhythm was his ideal state. At the very least, in the police system, if you do your job well, there is always a path for promotion. Becoming a member of the core team, even a core member who does odd jobs, makes it easier to be valued.

What he hadn't expected was that Jiang Yuan would move so fast that he had already radiated out to the Anti-Drug Detachment.

Of course, this was a good thing. A police officer who does their job well and can solve cases is a god; when they go out, they are a god descending to earth.

The next day.

Shuidong District, Changyang City.

Jiang Yuan, Huang Huang Qiangmin, and others gathered with the Detachment Captain of the Anti-Drug Detachment and his party in another building in front of the target building.

Two days of time allowed Jiang Yuan to increase the death resume of the Huang Li drug trafficking ring to a thickness of 300 pages. Among them, 200 people might all be drug users or grassroots personnel who support their habit through trafficking, but there were about 100 people who were true members of the drug trafficking ring, at least direct control distributors or important peripheral members.

This quantity and scale meant the Anti-Drug Detachment could no longer wait.

In fact, because the 300 people might be distributed all over the city, and there were even a small number of members who had already left the city, the difficulty of carrying out arrests now was already very great. If they dragged it out any longer, they were afraid that people would run, and they were also afraid that there would be too many people to handle.

The plan of "arrest first, interrogate, then arrest" naturally emerged.

And the most important part of this was the headquarters building where the criminal gang was located.

It was called a building, but it was just an ordinary, old-fashioned office building, six stories high in total, covering an area of three or four thousand square meters, with a floor area of only a little over a thousand square meters, but it had an underground garage and a very small, separate ground-level garage.

Such a building belonged to the early prosperous buildings constructed in Changyang City. Later, there was more demolition and renovation, and the prosperous center shifted somewhat. Many such buildings that weren't demolished were left in the corners.

If it were a military operation, there would be nothing to say about such an office building; a few artillery shells would settle it.

But in the city center of a provincial capital, the police obviously didn't have such military support. Even the armed police they invited were quite cautious about using explosives.

The building where the police were located was also a similar structure. The combat command room on the second floor was also temporarily set up. Everyone took buses and other transportation, and quietly ascended from the underground parking lot.

The main police officers responsible for the attack gathered here, nervously reviewing the blueprints of the target building, observing the scene, and communicating. They were responsible for the assault, interception, and positioning, etc. Later, more police would arrive by car after the battle started, either responsible for reinforcements or responsible for finishing up, but the total number wouldn't be too many.

The area to be attacked was too wide; it was impossible to put all the police force into the headquarters building of the drug trafficking ring.

Second floor.

Multiple screens were set up in the temporary command room, all showing real-time footage from the cameras in front.

Besides this, police officers, including Jiang Yuan, were not allowed to privately poke their heads out to observe.

Several leaders of the Anti-Drug Detachment, as well as leaders of the Armed Police Detachment and the Criminal Police Detachment, discussed in low voices.

It was mainly the leaders of the Anti-Drug Detachment speaking, while the others listened.

After all, other types of police in Changyang City didn't participate much in anti-drug battles of this scale.

And further back, there was a large command center presided over by the Director and Deputy Director of the Changyang City Bureau, uniformly commanding and leading the arrest mission for the entire city.

Even outside Changyang City, there was coordination from the Provincial Department, dispatching local police forces to uniformly assist in the arrests.

But without a doubt, the most important part of this arrest was still the headquarters building of the drug trafficking ring.

Opening a drug manufacturing factory in the city center of a provincial capital—this alone was something the police could not tolerate.

Time passed minute by minute.

As the people from the Anti-Drug Detachment discussed, their voices quietly rose.

When Deputy Detachment Captain Jin Kai, with a hint of murderous intent in his voice, said, "I apply to lead the assault team in the first wave of the charge," the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became murderous.

The Detachment Captain was taken aback and refused immediately: "You just want to show off. You don't need to apply; there are commanders responsible for the front line."

Deputy Detachment Captain Jin Kai said calmly: "I think it's necessary. First, the case is of great importance this time. I think the front line needs on-site decision-making. The target building is not small. When the assault team hits in the first wave, should they pursue the fugitives or continue the assault? If the signal is bad, what should they do if they need to ask for instructions on the spot?"

After a pause, Jin Kai continued: "The key is whether the front-line police and armed police can recognize the leaders of the drug trafficking ring, and whether members of other gangs might be involved. We don't know at all. I am quite familiar with the situation of drug traffickers in the province, and I have the opportunity to be on-site to make judgments on the value of the target figures."

Seeing that the Detachment Captain still wanted to speak, Deputy Detachment Captain Jin Kai continued: "To be honest, our detachment asked other units to help fight, and it makes no sense for us to hide behind them and let them charge forward. That would make people point fingers at us. Small cases don't matter, but for a case this big, someone must step up."

"Old Jin!" Detachment Captain Yin heard him say this, and his emotions flared up. He didn't control his voice either, and said sternly: "I am the Detachment Captain. I haven't gone up yet, so what are you in such a rush for? I will lead the charge, and you will go around the back to block them!"

"If you run to the front, this will turn into a mess. Besides, there are so many brother units helping out this time. If you don't coordinate from the center, we won't be able to do anything." Deputy Detachment Captain Jin Kai appeared exceptionally calm.

"Coordinating from the center is the Director's job; it's not my turn." Detachment Captain Yin said.

"It's not your turn to be on the front line either; only I can go." Jin Kai looked at the Detachment Captain, then looked at the others, and said: "Let's just do it this way. If we catch the criminals this time, it'll be worth it even if I retire. How many big fish can we catch when we're busy for a month on weekdays?"

Detachment Captain Yin knew what he said made sense and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. This arrangement might be the best arrangement, but the danger was also the most dangerous.

"Alright, we're not there yet, don't let people laugh at us." Deputy Detachment Captain Jin Kai smiled generously, then pursed his lips and said: "It's not the first time, don't scare the young people. They've already brought the credit to our front, it's just a matter of bending down to pick it up."

Detachment Captain Yin didn't look back, nor did he want to explain or clarify.

The nature of anti-drug work is more dangerous than criminal investigation, but not by too much. What they encounter daily is mainly the uncertainty of criminals. Take criminal investigation cases, for example—not to mention that violent cases are becoming fewer and fewer—even if they are encountered, as long as multiple police officers are carrying out the arrest, criminals generally still surrender. If they don't want to surrender, they turn and run; those who resist desperately are in the minority.

The main problem encountered in anti-drug work is that the mental state of drug users is often abnormal. For example, people who have used ice are extremely excited, can stay awake for three days and three nights, have hallucinations, and have a low awareness of danger. Back when the German army invaded France, Rommel and his troops were all fighting while on amphetamines, penetrating deep for several days in a row; they belonged to the artificial super-soldiers of the World War II era.

However, encircling and suppressing drug trafficking rings is different.

The harm that ordinary drug users most easily cause to anti-drug personnel is either suddenly attacking people or carrying drugs themselves.

Drug trafficking rings, however, dare not be caught. They have both a reason to fight for their lives and have planned schemes to fight for their lives in their daily planning.

In addition, drug trafficking rings have money and connections, and the probability of leaving weapons in their lair is very high.

If an anti-drug team wants to capture them all in one net, casualties will easily occur.

At this moment, standing in the temporary command center, the Detachment Captain had no way to persuade the Deputy Detachment Captain. It was even difficult for him to assign someone else to step up. Both palms and the back of the hand are flesh; the danger of leading the charge is something that is 100% unacceptable to anyone.

Although the criminal police present were doing their own work, they could also understand the entanglement of the anti-drug police. They were all police officers, and the worry and helplessness conveyed in a few short sentences were consistent.

In the oppressive atmosphere, Jiang Yuan looked at the system cooldown time in the upper right corner and lifted his head, saying: "I see that we have infrared cameras in our equipment. The distance of this infrared camera is a bit far. If we can get closer and take sufficiently stable and clear images, I can determine whether some criminal suspects are carrying heavy objects, such as rifles, shotguns, long knives, etc. It's quite accurate for weights over 5 kilograms; short guns might not work."

Footprint identification includes gait tracking, and whether a person is carrying heavy weapons can also be judged from their gait. Of course, the accuracy of LV5 might not be particularly high, but it should be able to provide no small amount of help.

When the cooldown time for the skill +1 arrives, and he pulls the footprint identification skill level to LV6, he estimates the effect will be even more prominent.

Detachment Captain Yin and the others had watched Jiang Yuan process evidence for two days, and they looked at him as if they were looking at Doraemon.

Hearing Jiang Yuan say this, Detachment Captain Yin's eyes lit up: "Being able to judge rifles is also good. We were originally prepared to use infrared cameras to judge their guard positions and the distribution of gang members. If we can judge whether they are carrying heavy weapons, the danger will be greatly reduced."

Jiang Yuan glanced at the cooldown time in the upper right and said: "I still need 20 minutes of preparation time. I haven't looked at the gait of infrared cameras, but it should be possible."

Detachment Captain Yin subconsciously said: "I'll give you 15 minutes!"

Reducing it by only 5 minutes was already a very polite order.

Jiang Yuan shook his head helplessly: "At least 18 minutes. It's not bargaining; I need a little time to brew."

"This... alright then." Detachment Captain Yin didn't ask why anymore. Over the past two days, he had actually asked some "whys" about Jiang Yuan's judgments, and the results weren't very good, nor did it do him any good, and it didn't do his understanding of criminal investigation technology or the world any good either.

"Alright, problem solved. I'll go down and prepare first." Deputy Detachment Captain Jin Kai smiled and nodded, then turned and left.

"Be careful... be careful to wear your bulletproof vest." Detachment Captain Yin's voice grew lower and lower.

The danger that should exist still existed, it was just reduced. Even so, the few people still tried hard to become cheerful.
