Chapter 765: Pursuit

"Broken Palm's big brother is called Coconut Meat. He is a drug dealer of heroin, considered the top distributor. We have been watching him for a year. About half a year ago, we gathered multi-party forces to take down Coconut Meat and several other distributors, including those associated with them, in one pot. Coconut Meat took hostages and was shot dead on the spot."

Shi Zhonglong, sent by the Anti-Drug Brigade, introduced the situation roughly, making Jiang Yuan and others look at each other in dismay.

"Coconut Meat is dead, Broken Palm's life or death is unknown, several little brothers have all run away..." Cui Qishan summarized and couldn't help but say: "Then our case, is it over like this?"

"Almost. Coconut Meat's line is basically considered scrapped." Shi Zhonglong said.

"What about the layer above? What about Coconut Meat's boss?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"He has no boss."

"Is the scale so small? Coconut Meat doesn't look like a very high-level drug dealer."

"The environment is like this now. Big drug lords outside rarely enter the country, and they don't need to enter. They develop small distributors in the country. There is another layer below the small distributor, which is almost enough. The goods are transported in by one-time mules, generally relaying, sending five or six times out of ten, they can make a fortune."

Shi Zhonglong talked about the situation on the anti-drug front and added: "Those big drug lords abroad all buy lists from telecommunications fraud groups and debt collection groups, specifically contacting those desperate people. Ordinary people might find it hard to imagine that some people are willing to swallow 500 grams of drugs in their stomachs for 20,000 yuan, or even 5,000 yuan, and then take a plane to transport drugs."

"These one-time mules, from abroad to the country, from the border to the inland, listen to instructions on software like Telegram throughout the whole process. Outside, let him throw things where, he throws where. Coconut Meat's distributors are the same, paid with Bitcoin and the like, will get the address, and then go to pick up the goods."

Jiang Yuan understood: "So big drug lords have become very safe."

"Yes, basically it is effective to strike across borders." Shi Zhonglong nodded: "Like the hive of the Zerg."

"The drug lords above are not in the country, so they shouldn't be involved in homicide cases." Jiang Yuan's goal was very clear. Thinking about the files he had read, he said: "According to the witness's testimony, besides Broken Palm, there were several other little brothers around Coconut Meat. Are these people at the same level as Broken Palm? Do you know their whereabouts?"

"Your witness is a drug user, right." Shi Zhonglong from the Anti-Drug Brigade said: "He only knows Broken Palm. If he doesn't know the others. Broken Palm is from a small distributor background. Coconut Meat's other few subordinates are basically from his bodyguard background. After being promoted, the drug users outside don't know them, which is safer. However, Coconut Meat's people who survived have disappeared one after another."

"Has a newcomer taken the position?" Cui Qishan understood a little.

Shi Zhonglong nodded silently: "The good news is that the amount of heroin is significantly less. The fatality rate of this thing is too high. Let's talk about Coconut Meat's line. There might be 6 people at Broken Palm's level. We shot one, arrested 3, and missed two. When we closed the net, it was in another place. Now it's hard to say if they are alive or not. There might be some little brothers scattered outside."

Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said: "Excluding the shot ones, the three arrested can be interrogated again to determine this case. By the way, ask if they are involved in other homicide cases. It is estimated that they will not speak well... The two who ran away, one is Broken Palm, what about the other?"

"Bull Ear. He might have run to another city. We had determined a rough location for him before, but didn't find him. These people are cunning rabbits with three burrows and were prepared early." Shi Zhonglong was not afraid of failure.

Professional criminals and ordinary suspects are completely different creatures.

For example, for ordinary homicide suspects, the first three days of running away are the most dangerous. Many people run to another city they are familiar with to hide. This is easy for the special case team to guess, but it is also a good choice. Because the probability of being caught in an unfamiliar city is higher.

Current police technical means are numerous. As long as position control is done well, not only can they not stay in hotels, they can't take high-speed rail, and they might be photographed by the checkpoint when leaving the city.

But if it is a professional criminal, if they are prepared in advance, the situation is different. First, investigating the route when there is no crime is safe. Secondly, on the determined route and link, some preparations can be made in advance. For example, Jiang Yuan once encountered a safe courtyard where several clean cars filled with gas were placed in advance.

Just changing cars halfway wastes a lot of time and energy for the police. If they prepare funds, and even routes and safe houses, the safety factor is close to that of a spy.

Ordinary people are not recommended to learn this kind of thing. Those who have this money are generally not ordinary people.

The difficulty of catching drug dealers is actually related to money.

Rich people are harder to catch because they have fewer restrictions and more space to choose from. For example, those who rent a black car to run away, find a corner to get off halfway, and then buy a motorcycle to ride, are 100 times harder to catch than criminals who take buses.

And ordinary criminals are actually quite poor, including middle-aged men who killed their wives and fled in a hurry, often with pockets cleaner than their faces, and they surrendered with crying faces after running for two days. Hungry.

Broken Palm and Bull Ear have money in their hands, and if they do some preparation, they will be very difficult to pursue after escaping.

Jiang Yuan and Cui Qishan naturally know this point.

The two exchanged glances, and Jiang Yuan said: "Then let's start with Bull Ear. Catch one, count one. In addition, what is the situation of these people's little brothers? It is best to list a table and catch them back to ask first."

Shi Zhonglong was stunned when he heard this. This is the rhythm of catching them all in one net. He hesitated for a while and said: "Are they involved in any major case?"

Cui Qishan looked at Jiang Yuan, then said to Shi Zhonglong: "They used acid to dissolve the corpse, currently confirmed one case, let's see how many cases they are involved in."

Shi Zhonglong was shocked, and then his eyes lit up: "This case, do you want to set up a joint special case team?"

"Then you talk to our Director Tao." Cui Qishan didn't dare to take the move.

Shi Zhonglong nodded and took out his phone: "I'll tell our brigade leader."

The Anti-Drug Brigade is another path, and its daily business doesn't have much intersection with the Criminal Police Brigade.

And this time it involves drug dealers, drug lines, and homicide cases, which is quite suitable for the cooperation of the two brigades.

"They talk about theirs, let's look at the case first." Jiang Yuan doesn't need to care about how the special case team is composed. He first asked Shi Zhonglong: "You have pursued Bull Ear once, can his files be taken out for a look?"

"Eh, are you starting now?" Shi Zhonglong was unexpectedly surprised by Jiang Yuan's decisiveness.

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Catch him back as soon as possible. With so many people, if we catch them one by one, it is estimated that it will take several days."

Shi Zhonglong couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuan and smiled: "Worthy of being Ningtai Jiang Yuan... the thinking is different from ours. Then go to our brigade. The files are all there."

Shi Zhonglong has always been humble. After all, it is a cooperative attitude. The Anti-Drug Brigade is happy to have someone willing to catch drugs.

As for Jiang Yuan's attitude, it is actually relatively humble. He has been running around the country for more than a year. Whether it is catching people or investigating, he actually needs cooperation from all sides to do it. It's just that when talking about cases, he estimates them a bit realistically.

Cui Qishan hurriedly coughed twice, said something romantic, and pulled a few people out.

The Anti-Drug Brigade has its own building.

When Shi Zhonglong brought Jiang Yuan to arrive, the brigade leader also came out of the office and expressed a welcome.

Next, a dozen people surrounded Jiang Yuan and sat down in the conference room. It looked like a very lively social mode.

Jiang Yuan took the initiative to master the topic and said: "Let's look at Bull Ear's files first. You said before that there was a rough location. Where is it specifically? Are there video images?"

Jiang Yuan thought of the new skill he had just obtained, Image Investigation—Trajectory Analysis (LV6). He had tried using the skill on the computer himself and felt it was quite easy to use.

Of course, all investigative skills are competitive skills. Whether the LV6 trajectory analysis skill is easy to use depends on Bull Ear's escape level.

On the other end, Shi Zhonglong reported the situation to the brigade leader and added: "We traced Bull Ear to Luojin City. Later, we went to Luojin City to trace, but the local image investigation was busy with a major case, and the cooperation was not very active. As for specific video images, we might have to go to Luojin City to look up..."

Jiang Yuan smiled when he heard Luojin City. After Shi Zhonglong finished speaking, he said: "Speaking of which, it happens that I have an apprentice in Luojin City. I'll ask him."

"That's good." Shi Zhonglong also smiled, thinking in his heart, what's the use of you asking a young police officer, even if he is from Luojin City.

Jiang Yuan wanted to solve the case as soon as possible while people were there, so he called Pang Jidong on the spot and said: "Jidong, I have a suspect here who ran to Luojin..."

Shi Zhonglong and the brigade leader, who had dealt with Luojin City several times, heard the somewhat familiar name and couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. ===== CHAPTER 766 =====
