77 -76: Holding Head in Hands

“Monthly sales: 48 items.” Jiang Yuan found a Taobao seller through the pictures.

Seeing the sales figure, everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the volume wasn’t very large, so it was very likely that only one piece had been sold in their city.

However, if it had been brought in from out of town, that would be more troublesome.

After another search and comparison, Jiang Yuan could basically confirm that the pattern on the dagger was unique to this seller.

At this point, Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, clicked on Taobao’s chat service, and asked, “Should we contact the seller directly through chat?”

His hesitation was due to considering how to approach the matter.

If the other party didn’t believe him, how could he prove his identity…

Captain Liu interjected, “We should take this robbery case seriously.

Let’s do this: first contact Taobao officially to get the seller’s formal contact information.

We can then make an official inquiry, to prevent him from withholding information or causing other issues.”

Captain Liu spoke and then took out his phone to start making arrangements.

Nowadays, Taobao sellers are duly registered companies with addresses.

A polite phone call is generally enough to get them to provide relevant information.

If they encounter stubborn ones, they’ll go on a business trip without hesitation.

Being a detective who solves cases sitting in an office…

that’s unique to Jiang Yuan.

Wang Zhong and the others excitedly browsed the seller’s store.

As a police officer who had participated in the case from the start, Wang Zhong once thought that they might never find a clue.

Who would have thought, Jiang Yuan, just through a pattern on a dagger, would find a breakthrough.

Although it was very possible that the suspect would not have the knives mailed directly to their home, with this clue, further investigation into materials and delivery information meant they were getting closer to solving the case.

Indeed, Wang Zhong felt that the three robbers likely hadn’t thought through this detail.

In this day and age, criminals who still use such foolish methods to make money can’t be that meticulous in their thinking.

If one is truly meticulous, even if they contemplated crime, robbery wouldn’t be their first choice.

There are plenty of criminal methods with lower risk and higher profits.

To go for a few hundred thousand and face a prison sentence of over three years, such a criminal’s way of thinking must be somewhat straightforward.

This time, although the three robbers had left him at a loss, it was only because of the heavy rain and a coincident murder case that they had the slimmest chance of escaping punishment.

Under normal circumstances, such a case would attract the full attention of the first and second squads; a bunch of detectives would scrutinize it from all angles.

Then, the case might not be solved through the knife, but through personal relationships, vehicle information, channels for disposing of stolen goods, or maybe simply by scanning through surveillance footage with a team.

Of course, it was Jiang Yuan who delivered the key blow in this case.

Purely by technical means, relying on two part-time scene investigators and an old, decrepit machine, in less time…

With such a high return on investment, no wonder Captain Liu’s expression had become more genial.

The third day.

Noon.

After lunch, the yard downstairs was bustling with noise.

Members of the second, fourth, and sixth squads and the entire canine unit were gathered, almost fifty people in total, armed with various police equipment, standing in the large courtyard with more than ten police cars behind them, an imposing sight.

Jiang Yuan was also neatly dressed, his cap fitted snugly, and upon Captain Liu’s command, stepped into one of the cars amidst the snapping of photographs.

Wang Zhong also took his place in the driver’s seat, and in the back sat Yan Ge and Wu Jun.

Over ten police cars left the Criminal Police Brigade in procession.

Wu Jun, watching the convoy exit the main road, lit a cigarette with a snap and, with a sense of emotion, said while looking outside, “It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen such a big scene.

Feels good.

Kind of exhilarating, huh.”

While driving, Wang Zhong also excitedly said, “A team deployment looks so cool.

I just saw Captain Liu carrying a gun.”

“The scene won’t be fun though,” Wu Jun casually threw out a dampener.

“The good looks only last until the first half.

When we get to the site and it’s all chaos with dozens of people, it’s like a madhouse—some are trying to reach the heavens, others to burrow into the earth, and you have to haul them back.

You’ll be leaping all over the place.”

Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of this scene.

The large force kicked up rolling clouds of dust, rising and falling.

The convoy drove north to Zhonghe Zhuang on the outskirts of the northern suburbs before they heard Huang Qiangmin’s voice from the walkie-talkie, “Attention all units, the criminal suspects are all concentrated at Xiaolin Farmhouse Joy in Zhonghe Zhuang.

Each unit should report after getting into position according to the plan.

Once you’ve entered the village, move quickly.

Also, I want to remind everyone that there are seven suspects confirmed, and we cannot allow a single one to escape.”

The standard for the criminal police team’s arrests is three to four officers per suspect.

In the criminal police team, those legendary solo fighters who bravely battle numerous bandits are the subjects of criticism.

The textbook procedure, bought with the blood and lives of countless individuals, dictates using overwhelming numbers to take down the few, deploying honorable teams to capture these petty criminals, conveying to society through proper punishment the clear boundaries of humanity.

This time was no exception.

After a breakthrough in the investigation, Huang Qiangmin decided to capture the three robbery suspects along with the individuals involved in the transactions of stolen goods, all in one go.

But this significantly increased the number of people to be arrested.

Adhering to the principle of expecting the unexpected, Huang Qiangmin called for three companies at once.

Those tasked with control were in charge of positioning, those responsible for arrests conducted the apprehensions, and the armed officers were there to prevent any accidents.

Huang Qiangmin demanded a clean and efficient arrest operation.

The orders were clear, and the preparations were thorough, but as it approached time to make the arrests, various worries were inevitably rising.

Wu Jun and Yan Ge, who were experienced comrades, stayed in the car, ready to provide support at any moment.

Jiang Yuan and Wang Zhong were the younger technicians, also known as the hefty young workhorses, and were arranged to guard the checkpoints.

No sooner had they taken their positions than they heard shouting from the courtyard.

“Let go.”

“Get down!”

“Move again and I’ll shoot.”

Just as Wu Jun had said, the once silent and formidable team immediately descended into chaos with the start of the arrests.

The sound of threatening to shoot made Jiang Yuan’s eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

Although it’s popular belief online that a police handgun can’t kill a person with one magazine, forensic doctors know that some people, if you really hit them, will truly dare to die.

If they brought back a corpse, it wouldn’t be considered a clean and efficient operation.

Squeak.

The rear door of the farmhouse quietly opened.

A young man around 20, not even noticing his shoelaces had come undone, sneaked out the door tiptoeing.

Jiang Yuan and Wang Zhong exchanged glances, silently advanced two steps, and blocked the checkpoint.

On their left and right, two criminal police officers each mimicked their actions, advancing to block the alley, pulling out their batons, eyes fixated on the young man coming out from the back.

After walking two more steps, the young man looked back calmly, then worriedly pulled out his phone to have a look.

After that, he resolutely clenched his teeth, held his head high, and puffed up his chest…

He then locked eyes with six pairs of criminal police officers’ eyes.

To be precise, he first made eye contact with Jiang Yuan and Wang Zhong, then with the officers on the left, followed by those on the right.

Squeak.

The young man went back inside the farmhouse.

“Lie down on the ground, hands on your head!” The shouting inside started to intensify once again.
