Chapter 838: Facts Speak Louder Than Words

~12 min read 2,272 words

"Come, everyone smile." A freelance photographer commanded the group in front of him loudly.

Click, click, click...

After a string of shutter clicks, the freelance photographer made an OK gesture and smiled: "Thank you all for your cooperation. We're done shooting."

"Many thanks, many thanks." The leader of the Sudao Police Bureau smiled very politely, then waved his hand and shouted: "Pull our photographer out and send them to their prison van."

The photographer, who was looking down at the photos, felt his legs go soft. His usually very flexible tongue instantly stuttered and couldn't speak, turning into a mumble that only he could understand: No, if we're not satisfied with the shot, we can reshoot, and we can retouch it later...

Click.

Two police cars opened their doors, and two men wearing hoods, prison uniforms, and handcuffed and shackled were clamped out.

Under the clamping of special police on the left and right, the two people desperately moved with small steps, and the shackles dragged a clattering sound on the ground, which was dull and crisp.

The studio photographer who had just taken a group photo for the police had never seen this before. He was stunned and raised his camera blankly.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking?" The police officer next to him grabbed his camera and pressed it down, saying: "Do you really want to accompany them?"

"No, no..." The studio photographer explained nervously: "I heard them shouting to pull the photographer out."

The police officer next to him smiled and didn't say anything. Leaders can say things, but ordinary police officers are very cautious and won't explain to outsiders.

The photographer with the black cloth hood was not taken off the headscarf until the back of the prison van to verify his identity, and then sent to the prison van again.

Next, this prison van will drive directly to the detention center in Qinghe City. The journey of thousands of miles will not be easy, but there is no way. The case has been assigned to the Qinghe City Intermediate Court for trial, because this is a case that may be sentenced to death. According to the rules, the first instance starts at the Intermediate Court, and the appeal goes to the High Court for the second instance.

The studio photographer watched from afar. He didn't dare to say he would take pictures again, but his sensitivity to portraits made him vaguely recognize the two people.

It really turned out to be two photographers.

Did they photograph the leader's true colors?

"Brother. Let's find you again if we need to." A police officer came over and politely sent the studio photographer away.

On the other side, Director Kong bid farewell to Jiang Yuan.

The two subordinates Kong Director sent to the hotel that day each received a third-class merit. This was decided by the Provincial Department, but for the grassroots station, it was still quite rare. There were only 2% to 3% of the quotas every year, but because it was distributed within the province, they all had to be tight for the core departments. It was quite difficult to get them in the police station.

The most important thing is that these two third-class merits were equivalent to Jiang Yuan sending them for free.

Of course, on the surface, this was a third-class merit obtained because of protecting Jiang Yuan. Director Kong also publicized it to the outside world. As for the reality, everyone knew it in their hearts.

After Jiang Yuan bid farewell to his colleagues in Sudao, he boarded the chartered plane for the return trip.

Jiang Fujian and the two dogs were also going back. To avoid affecting Jiang Yuan, Jiang Fujian firmly refused to take advantage of the public, and the expenses were still paid by himself.

Of course, for him, the cost of more than a dozen cows was nothing.

Jiang Yuan slept on the plane, chatted with his old man, gilded his filial piety, and went directly to the station of the Provincial Anti-Drug Corps located in Changyang City after getting off the plane.

Song Beishou had already launched a nationwide investigation, and his subordinates were checking one by one along the list of Grade A tertiary hospitals.

This form of investigation is slightly different from common investigations.

Common investigations are looking for someone or a group of people with a purpose. In most cases, there is a requirement not to miss anyone.

This investigation is slightly different. The requirement of the Anti-Drug Corps or Jiang Yuan is actually to kill to the greatest extent—as long as you find as many such groups of people as possible, it doesn't matter if you leave a few or a batch.

In fact, leaving behind is almost certain. People who have taken the same batch of new drugs don't necessarily enter the degree of kidney disease immediately. Even if they get kidney disease, such drug addicts don't necessarily pay attention to treatment. Furthermore, some drug addicts take alternating mixed drugs, and their bodies are generally affected, but not necessarily kidney disease.

However, the Anti-Drug Corps doesn't need to screen everyone. Drug addicts can't be caught. In fact, everyone who participates in anti-drug knows that drug addicts almost never successfully quit drugs, especially some high-level drugs, even if they quit temporarily, the proportion is very low.

In the end, people who take high-level drugs, even if they quit temporarily, often need to take low-level substitute drugs. In other words, unless everyone is physically destroyed, it is impossible to eradicate drug addicts.

This investigation by the Anti-Drug Corps is also to determine the spread area and path of drugs.

This thing can rarely spread spontaneously. Without a stable supplier and a sales merchant who risks his life, it is very dangerous to carry drugs in and out of the city.

When Jiang Yuan arrived, he saw that dozens of small flags had been inserted on the map in the command hall, covering seven provinces.

"We have contacted the local anti-drug departments. Most of these drug-related personnel have been found by us. A small number have died, or are in the ICU, or are seriously ill, so we didn't care about them anymore."

Seeing Jiang Yuan coming, Song Beishou felt relieved, as if he had put on safe pants when sleeping at night. He spread his legs, and a smile overflowed unconsciously.

Song Beishou shook hands with Jiang Yuan tightly.

Song Beishou said with emotion: "This time, we can be said to have met. After saying so many words in the conference call, I finally saw Captain Jiang in person."

Jiang Yuan shook Song Beishou's hand vigorously.

Speaking of which, he was really at the front line this time. Two gunfights broke out in Sudao. Not to mention in a city or a province, even on a national scale, these two gunfights were eye-catching.

Now that he returned to Changyang City, Jiang Yuan really felt a sense of lightness returning from the front line to the rear.

"Want to thank the Corps Commander for your support." Jiang Yuan temporarily went online with his emotional intelligence for 30 seconds, and after using it, said: "Give me the summarized fingerprints. And footprints."

"Prepared long ago." Song Beishou hurriedly handed over the USB flash drive.

"Come a few people to help, five." Jiang Yuan said.

This batch of fingerprints and footprints includes drug addicts screened from various places, as well as their residences and drug-taking places. The quantity is extremely large, and there are not many useful ones. If Jiang Yuan compares them one by one, no matter how fast he does it, the efficiency will not be high.

Song Beishou had naturally prepared ordinary trace examiners.

Five trace examiners quickly took their positions and began to screen fingerprints and footprints in line.

Jiang Yuan turned around and said: "Trouble to transfer the screens of the five trace examiners directly to the command screen in front."

The command center of the Anti-Drug Corps has excellent conditions. Directly in front is a splicing screen the size of a cinema, which can be used as a whole or split screen.

The entire command center looks like a space launch center. The workstations in the back row each have a computer, which looks quite tense.

And for the trace examiners, the content of their screens being directly projected onto the command screen in front inevitably increased a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, the five people were carefully selected, and they all just concentrated their energy and silently resisted the pressure.

Jiang Yuan and Song Beishou didn't mean to comfort them. The confrontation road is about pressure. Criminal police who can't withstand the pressure will collapse. Anti-drug police bear greater pressure, but this job is like this. Those who want hugs, it's good to collapse early.

And on the 55-inch split screen, Jiang Yuan could not only see the fingerprint marks on the left clearly, but also see the fingerprints used for comparison on the right clearly.

These fingerprints on the right, placed on a 24-inch small screen, might only be a thumbnail, and must be enlarged to see clearly.

However, on a 55-inch screen, although it cannot be said to be clearly visible, the general shape and texture are clear.

If this is a high-difficulty difficult fingerprint, the thumbnail on 55 inches is not enough. Even for an expert like Jiang Yuan, when looking at difficult fingerprints, he zooms in and out. Sometimes, only one-fifth of the area of the fingerprint is displayed on one screen.

However, the difficulty of this fingerprint comparison is far from this. On the 55-inch screen, Jiang Yuan looks at the thumbnail as if looking at a menu.

"A, you compare the 4th fingerprint first." To avoid confusion, Jiang Yuan directly numbered several people.

The trace examiner who was called was a little unhappy. How to say, he was an elite police officer in his thirties, and he was working in a large unit like the Corps... But he was also working in a large unit like the Corps, and A naturally suppressed his emotions and pointed to the 4th fingerprint as requested.

What if I just follow your request first?

Trace examiner A clicked on 4, and compared left and right in the usual way...

After a while, trace examiner A silently clicked the "Confirm Same" button.

At this time, Jiang Yuan's voice was still echoing in his ears: "G, turn the page... Hmm, compare the 13th."

Trace examiner A frowned, calculated with his fingers, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, isn't it five people in total?

He turned his head and found that there were a few more colleagues sitting in the back row.

"This is..." Trace examiner A was surprised.

"You guys are too slow, Captain Jiang asked to add 5 more people." The colleague in the back row swept his eyes and knew what A was thinking.

"This... this is too look down on people!" Trace examiner A couldn't help but mutter.

"I think so too." Trace examiner E agreed and added: "Just do the work, facts speak louder than words."

Trace examiner A nodded, clicked on the new fingerprint image for the first time, and started marking the feature points.

"A, change this here." Jiang Yuan stood on the command screen, drew a red circle with an electronic pen, and fed it back to the operator's computer.

Trace examiner A frowned and zoomed in on the fingerprint on his screen.

The position drawn by Jiang Yuan is a small hook. To say it is a standard feature point... However, from the direction of the surrounding fingerprints...

Trace examiner A silently canceled the mark of the feature point.

After a slight pause, trace examiner A continued to mark.

This time, until he completely finished and started comparing, Jiang Yuan's voice sounded in his ears: "A, 6th."

Trace examiner A clicked on the sixth of the candidate fingerprints for the first time...

Sure enough, it matched.

Trace examiner A continued to work silently, just like other colleagues.

As the simple fingerprints were constantly matched, various residual fingerprints began to appear, and the speed of several trace examiners significantly decreased. Therefore, ABCDE trace examiners began to go online.

The internal affairs of the team even had time to print their respective nameplates and put them behind each person's display to facilitate Jiang Yuan's recognition.

Trace examiner A began to feel tremendous pressure.

There are always some fingerprints that are beyond his ability.

Based on his many years of work experience, some fingerprints, even if they can be made, the comparison time may be calculated in weeks.

However, Jiang Yuan's command voice never stopped.

"A, here, here, here." Jiang Yuan's language was stiff and the description was simple, basically a statement.

But when the red circle appeared on the screen, trace examiner A couldn't help but be shocked.

For difficult fingerprints, three more feature points, the difficulty is doubled.

"E, here, here!"

"H, here!"

Although the speed of fingerprint identification was inevitably slow, with the addition of trace examiners, the overall progress was not slowed down much.

Moreover, because the difficulty was getting higher and higher, nearly half of the trace examiners were dragged by Jiang Yuan.

Another fingerprint matched. Trace examiner A looked at this fingerprint that he might have to compare for several weeks to match in the past, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "People, sometimes they look too highly on themselves."

"I think so too." Trace examiner E behind him said: "Facts speak louder than words." ===== CHAPTER 839 =====
