Chapter 1019 Xu Chu
"There are so many things going on right now, it might not be appropriate to ask Director Xu to help."

The criminal police captain of Yuzhu City knew that he had to share the bulk of the funding, so he became sensitive when he heard Xu Taining's name. He also had to consider the cases for the next 10 years.

Jiang Yuan said: "Director Xu is also good at finding clues. He usually organizes things before he does an investigation. Let me ask him first. Director Liu, are you here to communicate?"

"Sure, I'll align it with Old Xu." Liu Jinghui responded with a smile.

Jiang Yuan nodded, feeling a little relaxed, and quickly picked up two pieces of meat, then called everyone: "Come on, come on, let's eat first, and then deal with the case after we are full."

Jiang Yuan asked the waiter to prepare two more sauces, which he used to dip the meat in, and he enjoyed the meal very much.

The people sitting at the same table were also carnivores, but they did not have the same mentality as Jiang Yuan and Liu Jinghui. One by one, they started "playing" with their cell phones while eating.

After a while, Fang Gang, the captain of the Qingshi City Criminal Police Detachment, rushed in. He had obviously received a message from the phone that had been played with.

"Why are we talking about Director Xu again?" Fang Gang didn't have any foreplay to do, so he had to rely on his toughness.

Liu Jinghui had finished his call with Xu Taining at this time, and came over and said with a smile: "This case involves too many things, it's a mess, please ask Director Xu to analyze it and find some clues."

"I thought this wasn't something you were good at?" Fang Gang flattered Liu Jinghui without any bottom line.

Liu Jinghui smiled and continued, "These all require a thorough investigation. I can't just guess what the conclusion will be. But Old Xu can really guess it sometimes."

Fang Gang was surprised: "So exaggerated?"

It may seem wrong to predetermine the results of an investigation, but this idea itself is an ideal, just like the rational person hypothesis in economics. Fortunately, criminal investigation does not talk about rational people, probably because there are no rational people in criminal investigation.

For every person in charge of a case, when giving the direction of the investigation, most of them have an expectation. Some investigation scopes are tentative, and some investigation scopes are extremely expected. However, this kind of thinking, under normal circumstances, is limited to expectations. Some commanders will deliberately abandon this expectation and return to rationality as much as possible.

According to Liu Jinghui, Xu Taining could obviously do more than that. This made Fang Gang very curious, and he wanted to learn the secrets.

Liu Jinghui just smiled and said, "I guess it's something I've practiced after doing a lot of field research."

"Ah... is it that simple?" You Lixiang next to him was also listening with his ears perked up.

Fang Gang sneered: "This is the most difficult one."

Liu Jinghui also nodded: "So, since we don't have the chance to practice it ourselves, let Lao Xu take a look and screen the direction first."

"Then what can we do now?" You Lixiang had already put down his chopsticks, a little anxious.

Fang Gang, the detachment leader, glanced at You Lixiang and said, "Are you so anxious to fight?"

"I'm not trying to push... that..." You Lixiang quickly explained, "As far as I know, Director Xu is very particular about taking everything into consideration when doing things. As for us... I'm mainly worried that even if there haven't been any cases in the past month, then... are they still doing sales?"

"This meal is inedible." Liu Jinghui also put down his chopsticks.

How could Liu Jinghui not have thought of such a guess? But there is a difference between thinking of it and saying it out loud.

If these child thieves are selling, then the only things they are selling are children. But Liu Jinghui had to explain: "It's impossible to sell. After getting a child, they will give it away as soon as possible because it's dangerous to keep it in their hands, especially for those on the first floor. They want to reduce the contact time with the victim as much as possible."

Since he had already started talking about it, Liu Jinghui continued, "That's why they have to contact the buyer in advance, which is equivalent to letting the buyer bear a certain amount of risk, so that it can be transferred out more easily."

"We now know that the child snatcher drove a grey van, but we don't know what kind of car the buyer drove or what kind of transportation he used. It's even harder to determine the next buyer."

"But if the child cannot be found, it will be difficult to convict the suspect. This is what those who resell the child in the middle are thinking."

You Lixiang was the one who listened most attentively. He had invested a lot of time and emotion in the 712 Project, and he said seriously: "The more people participate, the more news will be revealed."

"The participants are all members of a community of interests, so how could they leak information so easily? Moreover, many people in the middle rely on this model to survive. They pick up a child from one place and sell it to another person. The price increase depends entirely on their own bidding. It also depends on their own ability to find people to take the child." Liu Jinghui also knew a lot about the demeanor of human traffickers.

"Even if their message was spread internally, it should have leaked out..."

"Let's not talk about evidence or anything like that. By that time, will we still be able to find the child?" Liu Jinghui's question was not sharp. It was the answer that everyone present could think of, or even knew. It was just that no one wanted to think about it.

This is also a very disgusting part of human trafficking cases.

Jiang Yuan didn't want to talk any more, so he stood up and said, "The brainstorming session is over. Let's go back and make personnel arrangements. After we get feedback from Director Xu, we'll decide on the specific direction of the investigation and assign personnel."

The detectives didn't say anything and left one after another. In the private room that was just steaming hot, now only the hot pot was steaming.

Jiang Yuan returned with Liu Jinghui in silence. In this wave, there was almost no place where his skills were needed.

However, among all the people at the scene, only Jiang Yuan could command a large task force. Even Liu Jinghui couldn't do it.

As the head of the task force, he needs to be accountable both upwards and downwards.

Being a criminal police officer is very different from working in an ordinary private company. No matter how many external temptations and internal contradictions this job has, when facing a case, "being able to solve it" is always very important.

When criminal police officers stay in their cars all night long, stay in their offices day after day, and risk their lives to hunt down criminals, they need some internal motivation.

If you do not trust the head of the task force and do not believe that he can lead the task force to victory, the direction of the case will often be very distorted.

Jiang Yuan had already accumulated enough reputation and was even used to leading such a large-scale task force. However, when the technical advantages could not be reflected, Jiang Yuan was a little anxious.

……

Xu Taining responded quickly, exchanged a few words with Liu Jinghui, then turned off the speakerphone and started talking with Jiang Yuan.

"I've looked at the relevant clues. If I were to choose, I would try to check all the hotels in several cities." Xu Taining knew that what Jiang Yuan wanted was just the part he was good at, so he said it very directly.

Jiang Yuan asked: "Why hostels and hotels?"

"Because they commit crimes in so many places, it is almost certain that they have to stay in hotels. Few people can accept running hundreds of kilometers every day and returning. From a safety point of view, it is not suitable either. If they want to return quickly, they have to take the highway, which is still dangerous for them." Xu Taining said seriously.

"How do we investigate such a large area?"

"We can only rely on meticulous work. I think we can start with this gray van, because more than one person reported this car. In fact, I think we can even target this car. It is difficult to investigate it through the transportation system, but it may be easier to investigate it through hotels and inns!"

"I see. I'll include it in the plan." Jiang Yuan didn't dare to place all his bets here, but Xu Taining's point of view was still very convincing. He was indeed a man who could get his superiors to transfer money with just a few words.
