Chapter 843

"Among the three—Purple, Yellow, and Blue—the 'Blue Crystal' financial line is the deepest hidden. He doesn't need to appear; he occasionally sends a few people out to handle money matters, and there is no handover with the other two lines. Therefore, Blue Crystal's management responsibility is the lightest; it's possible there is no management at all, and he might just be doing it all by himself."

Liu Jinghui's voice lowered slightly, guiding everyone to think. This is work he is very good at.

Liu Jinghui: "Huang Shuijing handles production. He relies on mid-level management personnel. He has several capable subordinates who are all capable of carrying the production line around; they can arrive at a new place, resume production within a day, and move on after producing a batch. His sector is also the most strictly managed; there are many rules, and he isn't afraid of people dying—on the contrary, not many people die."

"Purple Crystal manages the largest scale, and the management burden is also the heaviest. The drug dealers under him, as well as the surrounding distributors, are not easy to deal with. They are all the type that doesn't submit to discipline. Purple Crystal is also the one who kills the most people. According to the information collected so far, at least 30 people have been killed under Purple Crystal's orders?"

"I believe this mode of Purple Crystal's is very difficult to achieve through remote management. Especially some of his management feedback, which is shockingly fast. At the beginning, several mid-level members under Purple Crystal were highly questioned; now there are fewer people questioning him—that's because of the many people killed in the past few years; many people don't dare to speak."

"However, to say that there is any special management mode for Purple Crystal or Huang Shuijing, there actually isn't. They aren't like a board of directors mode that only gives a general direction; they often have specific management behaviors."

Liu Jinghui stopped here, sat down silently, and lit another cigarette. While smoking, he accumulated cancer factors, shortened his lifespan, decayed the vitality of cells, lowered the function of tissues, weakened the flexibility of his brain, and dulled the sharpness of his spirit...

The others also smoked eagerly, emitting heavy breathing sounds.

In the thick smoke, the captain of the First Detachment said: "Does this mean that Purple Crystal and Huang Shuijing have hidden identities within the gang?"

"That is what I think; otherwise, such a large team would either be unmanageable or poorly managed." Liu Jinghui didn't want to keep anyone in suspense. If someone could keep up with his rhythm of thinking, it proved that most people could keep up, and he could continue to reason.

The captain of the First Detachment hissed: "At the bottom level or the mid-level?"

"I think at least it must be at the mid-level," Liu Jinghui said: "The Poison-Ingesting Network team is still relatively tight; the production end and the sales end can basically achieve low-key profit-making. Correspondingly, their management requirements are also relatively high. Bottom-level members basically cannot come into contact with content outside their own work; only the mid-level, especially these mid-to-high-level members, can come into contact with most of the information on their own chain."

Song Beishou nodded: "You mean to say that at least Purple Crystal and Huang Shuijing disguised themselves as one of the mid-to-high-level members and participated? What is the purpose? Mid-to-high-level members are also going to be sentenced to death!"

"I think it's mainly to deal with their own people," Liu Jinghui paused, then added: "I'm just making a conjecture based on their management mode. Perhaps they have other management means, such as a particularly trusted mid-to-high-level member, but the result is actually the same. We should find that mid-to-high-level member who transmits the most information and understands the most information."

If the purpose is to hide identity and manage the team, then the several characteristics Liu Jinghui mentioned are necessary.

Everyone present also realized this point and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"If you want to talk about it, the mid-to-high-level members have basically all been caught by us." Song Beishou had his subordinate police officer put the photo of the tree-shaped list from the command center onto the screen at the very front of the conference room.

A total of 8 mid-to-high-level personnel; only one is at large, and the rest have all been arrested.

Liu Jinghui said: "This actually explains a phenomenon very well: how an organization that was originally quite tight suddenly became like a group of pigs, unable to be caught even after catching so many, yet having no ability to resist or fight back at all."

Song Beishou coughed twice and said: "With the army pressing down on the border, what room do they have to resist?"

"At least eliminate criminal evidence, notify each other to escape or break out, hide a portion of weapons, drugs, and funds in preparation for a comeback, mobilize some people to take the blame for others, and save as many as possible... There can also be resistance in prisoner-of-war camps. Look at how the British, French, and Belgians in the German prisoner-of-war camps did it; one can also learn some things from that." The more relaxed Liu Jinghui spoke, the more solemn Song Beishou's expression became.

Song Beishou pondered for a long time: "So, Purple Crystal and Huang Shuijing are very likely already in our hands?"

"I think there is such a possibility."

"This..." It's not that Song Beishou hasn't encountered similar cases; on the contrary, wearing several layers of skin is a common mode for mid-to-high-level members in drug trafficking groups. Simply put, one person having several sets of ID cards always has a greater chance of escaping than someone with one set, and it is much more convenient when doing things.

However, when Song Beishou caught people in the past, the difficulty of catching mid-level and high-level members was actually about the same. It can also be honestly said that he has rarely caught all the mid-to-high-level members of a gang.

This requirement is too high, and for a normal drug gang, catching seven or eight out of ten is about as good as it gets.

Also using fishing to describe it, when they caught people before, it was really like using a fishing net; one cast down, the number of big and small fish was not small, but catching an entire school of fish was impossible.

Jiang Yuan is like hunting, and he is hunting with rapid-fire weapons, calling out the fish one by one; they can't even run away.

"We can try to see if we can screen these two people out." Liu Jinghui is also quite interested in this case, and continued: "I'll mention a few points, and let's compare. First, this person must have extensive contacts; they can both transmit information up and down, and contact peers at the same level, and it's even more likely they have a group of direct subordinates."

Liu Jinghui: "Secondly, among the people arrested this time, are there any drug dealers at this level who are jumping around actively performing meritorious service? The three 'Crystals' certainly won't be willing to be executed without a sound."

*Pop. *

The captain of the First Detachment slapped his thigh fiercely: "Chickpea!"

He was referring to the nickname of a certain drug dealer.

"Interrogate him separately; pay attention to the content," Song Beishou ordered. To say he completely believed Liu Jinghui's reasoning would be an exaggeration, but since Liu Jinghui had reasoned to this point, not trying it out would certainly not work either.

This is also the reason why "Reasoning King" Liu Jinghui has never been the most popular expert. The reasoning he gives is indeed logical, but verifying it is not easy at all, and not verifying it is not an option.

If the reasoning is correct, this process is not complicated, but if the reasoning is wrong, the loss of resources in this part often makes people a bit unhappy.

"Chickpea is one; there must be at least one more," Liu Jinghui added.

*Pop, pop. *

The people present started lighting cigarettes again.

"If you count it, that would be 'Feng Shui Master'," Song Beishou frowned and said: "His position in the gang meets the criteria, but this person hasn't been caught yet. He is the only mid-to-high-level member at large."

"Um... like that." Liu Jinghui nodded in understanding. If the big ringleader is at large, whether he can be caught back is really hard to say.

*Bang, bang. *

A subordinate knocked on the door: "Report."

"What is it?" Song Beishou looked over.

The subordinate stood at attention and said: "Based on the footprints, Team Leader Jiang has determined the identity of the small ringleader nicknamed 'Feng Shui Master'. Should we send people to arrest him now?"
