h4Chapter 1407: Chapter 1331: Anwan Fingerprint Campaign/h4

    Zhang Limin hurriedly walked into the office building of the Anwan City Bureau.

    A group of leaders went out to wee the provincial department leaders.

    Zhang Limin exchanged pleasantries with everyone, then looked around and asked, "Who is Liu Zhuangshi from the Criminal Police Brigade?"

    "Uh, Liu Zhuangshi got drunkst night, and we’ve already sent someone to find him." Director Yue Yong replied honestly.

    Zhang Limin’s face darkened: "What are you guys doing? Drinking on a workday?"

    "They just solved a major case, so they were given a break."

    "Even if they solved a big case, that’s no excuse!" Zhang Limin criticized sternly.

    Director Yue Yong nodded repeatedly, letting Zhang Limin express his anger, then said, "Mainly to apany Jiang Yuan."

    Zhang Limin’s fiery demeanor softened considerably, and he said slowly, "If it’s to keep Jiang Yuan in Pingzhou, then it’s indeed understandable."

    "That’s right." Yue Yong quickly said, "They drank several bottles of wine together, Jiang Yuan can really drink, then they washed it down with ox eye, and Liu had another half a jin of liquor."

    "Ox eye... hmm, we can discuss thister. I’m here this time with a mission." Zhang Limin paused, then seriously said, "Considering the recent developments at your Anwan City Bureau, the department decided that starting from the 2nd, a fingerprint operation will be conducted in Anwan City, modeled after the previous fingerprint operations. Regarding the venue and staffing, we hope you can properly arrange and solve these issues..."

    Upon hearing this, Yue Yong understood immediately and said, "Are you seeing vinegar and preparing to make dumplings? No, are you nning a province-level fingerprint operation?"

    "Since it’s called an operation, of course it’s province-level."

    "Isn’t this inappropriate?"

    "What’s inappropriate about it? Anwan City doesn’t have that many unresolved cases or fingerprints to work with. Jiang Yuan is willing to handle the fingerprints, and you’d waste resources on such a small amount?"

    The director hesitated for a moment but still felt uneasy, saying, "Jiang Yuan said he liked the crime style here..."

    Zhang Liminughed in exasperation, "He initially said that about Pingzhou. Besides, what crime style do we have here? It’s unrefined; many cases don’t even require gloves, yet we still can’t catch the culprits."

    "Our fingerprint collection rate here is already low... Also, Jiang Yuan said he likes Pingzhou’s weather..."

    Zhang Limin pretended not to hear, continuing to ask, "You need to arrange the venue first. Do you have a suitable venue here?"

    "Anwan City only has a four-star hotel, which is a bit far from the city, about a 10-minute drive. However, the 2nd is tomorrow. That’s too rushed, even if we ask, the other units might also need the venue..."

    Zhang Limin listened quietly; he wasn’t familiar with Anwan City, but venue arrangements had to be finalized today...

    Yue Yong also understood the situation and didn’t dispute with Zhang Limin. After some thought, he said, "How about we do it at the City Bureau? That way, facilities like workce, intr, and security are easy to manage. For amodation, we can use the dormitories for temporary rest, and if expertse from within the province, I can vacate some rooms in our family quarters."

    At this point, Yue Yong’s ideas flowed smoothly, he continued, "I’ll make a contribution. My house is a four-bedroom, two-hall apartment. I’ll tidy it up, change the sheets and bedding, rece toothbrushes and cups with new ones, what we don’t have, we’ll request from hotels. We might not have time to clean, so I’ll hire a cleaner to ensure everything’s spotless, so the experts can move in with ease."

    As he spoke, the politicalmissar immediately stepped up to cooperate without hesitation.

    Zhang Limin nodded repeatedly in approval, "The Anwan City Bureau is indeed formidable. No wonder Jiang Yuan is keen on your unit. If you can think of such a method and make such decisions, I believe you’ll be able to ovee any subsequent difficulties!"

    Yue Yong’s face broke into a relieved smile as he realized thatpared to the whole province, Anwan City’s cases were indeed fewer.

    "There are still anciry issues." Zhang Limin didn’t rx, addressing one issue and immediately moving on to determine a new one.

    Yue Yong said dismissively, "What anciry needs do you have?"

    "It’s not about what I want, it’s about what you need!" Zhang Limin stated, "Arrests might still be required, followed by evidence collection, interrogation, identification, and evidence submission. As this operation kicks off at the Anwan City Bureau, I suggest that it be managed by your bureau."

    Yue Yong agreed without much thought. It’smon practice, especially for cases crossing regions, where the victim or suspect is in different areas, for a higher authority to designate a specific bureau to handle the case, rather than sending notifications to countless city bureaus. It’s like handling a certain adult website case is also designated to a single city bureau, which then sends officers on duty.

    Zhang Limin nced at Yue Yong and said, "Jiang Yuan previously participated in Shan Nan’s fingerprint operation, reportedly solving ten or so homicides and several other heinous crimes."

    Yue Yong was taken aback, "I think I’ve heard of it..."

    In an instant, he began scratching his head.

    If several dozen heinous cases are solved gradually, it would certainly be exhrating, but if they’re handled within a few days or even a month, the Anwan City Bureau might really struggle to cope.

    Homicide evidence requirements are high, even if Jiang Yuan can lock onto fingerprints, there’s still a distance from actually cracking the case. If the suspects cooperate, subsequent confession, identification, etc., would follow smoothly, but if not, a team of officers might be busy for half a month, and that would be the least of it.

    "Since you’ve mentioned this, you must have a solution in mind?" Yue Yong pulled out a cigarette, handing one to Zhang Limin. He wasn’t hoping for support from the provincial department or other city bureaus.

    The provincial department’s personnel allocations are fewer than city bureaus, mostly office positions, with only one department primarily responsible for criminal investigation. Even if they wanted to help, Yue Yong wouldn’t likely ept it.

    Other city bureaus wouldn’t likely send support either unless there’s a share in the credit, or adjustments to personnel allocations in advance...

    Zhang Limin smiled and shook his head, "Jiang Yuan is right here; what solution do you need from me? He has quite a few people with him, and the Ningtai County Bureau’s staff isn’t small either."

    Yue Yong, reminded, immediately realized something and hesitated a bit before saying, "Ningtai’s Huang..."

    "The big ones are handled, there’s no need to worry about the little ones." Zhang Limin knew what was going on, adding, "In this regard, the department can think of some ways to help you."

    ...

    Li Zemin got out of the car, ced his suitcase at his feet, lit a White Sand cigarette, and took a deep drag.

    "Haven’t been to Anwan for a long time." His colleague behind him stretched and shook his head, saying, "This time, we took a new route. Last time I went from Li Yuan to Anwan, it was quite troublesome."

    "The old routes, that was seven or eight years ago." Someone next to him casually replied, taking a White Sand cigarette from Li Zemin.

    "Pretty much, we were here to look at fingerprints, there was a family murder case, don’t know if you remember it."

    "Yes, National Day, an entire family of five got killed?"

    "That’s the case. Later, fingerprints were extracted from the child’s clothing."

    "Eight years ago, lifting fingerprints from clothing wasn’t easy. Why did the killermit murder?"

    "A dispute over buying cattle. Ultimately, it was about money, but also a matter of pride. The breed of the cattle wasn’t appropriate, not worth the price. Plus, here people often buy cattle without weighing them, just estimating with the eye, which led to a wrong estimation. Not embarrassed to bring it up, they picked on the opponent for feeding cattle something inappropriate in the morning; tempers red, and they ended up stabbing the person."

    As they spoke, smoking halfway, they were about to head inside when they saw a whole teaming out from within.

    "Old Li!" Jiang Yuan jogged over, smiling, "Your car is pretty fast, I calcted the time you’d arrive."

    Li Zemin had supported the fingerprint operation in Shan Nan Province back then, forming a good rapport with Jiang Yuan. The two were likerades working in the same trench for a month. They also kept in touch regrly in a group, where Li Zemin often answered fingerprint-rted questions on behalf of Jiang Yuan.

    As Jiang Yuan started running, Mu Zhiyang and others naturally followed, then the whole team began running over.

    Li Zemin’s colleague clicked his tongue, "You maintain quite the connection."

    "Jiang Yuan is quite personable." Li Zemin chuckled, weing him warmly.

    Several officers who had heard of Jiang Yuan nearby also burst intoughter.
