Chapter 893 Have we done our best?

laugh……

The heavy truck's air brakes made a sound of air being cut off, and it stopped steadily in the parking space designated by the machine repair shop.

The driver got out of the car and started calling for help. Then he pulled out a sturdy pipe from the back of the car and thrust it into the water tank next to the temporary house...

Watching the hot water being pumped into the water tank, the driver wiped his sweat, thanked the police officer who helped him, and said with a smile: "We used to deliver water to the bathing center, but I didn't expect the police to use this kind of hot water too."

"Hot water is the same, you know." The police officer handed a cigarette to the driver and said, "No one wants to live in a mobile home. There is no air conditioning, no ventilation, the windows are hard to open, and the bed is hard... It's just a place to take a shower and feel a little more comfortable."

"You all can't go home?" The driver looked around: "It's because of the bombing."

Seeing his gossipy look, the police officer changed his expression and said sinisterly: "If I tell you, you will have to stay."

The driver was stunned and said quickly: "No... I was just asking casually, I don't know anything..."

"I know, I was just saying it casually." The policeman smiled. When the police have some experience, they can easily crush the people in society. The more slick and witty they are, the easier it is to control them.

Inside the board room.

Jiang Yuan also took a shower happily. He had worked for 24 hours straight before coming back to rest.

It's not that I can't hold on, but given the current situation, it's obvious that I won't be able to get results in 12 hours or even 24 hours.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look at the Patek Philippe in his hand, calculated the time, and planned to sleep for four or five hours, and then search the ruins before the sun went down.

After drying his hair with a hair dryer, Jiang Yuan was already extremely sleepy. He lay down in his own room and immediately started waking up.

The middle and high-level police officers still have some privileges, such as fixed beds, and hired cleaning ladies to change the sheets and quilts at regular times and locations, and clean the place. Ordinary police officers live with people and animals, and sleep on empty beds when they find one. Those with smelly feet, snoring, grinding teeth, and loud music should not be disliked. Anyone who can't sleep at all is not sleepy.

"Our Captain Jiang is still sleeping. Let Director Xu explain..."

"Director Xu has already met him. Well, although I am very embarrassed, this time the director is here with the city leaders..."

The sounds outside came from far away, and Jiang Yuan's voice gradually became lower.

"Captain Jiang, Captain Jiang..." Wang Chuanxing leaned against the door and called softly.

Jiang Yuan turned over and sat up quickly: "What's the matter?"

After working as a criminal police officer for three or two years, he can basically master the similar summoning skills - anyone who is called by his real name will immediately enter the third level of sobriety. Commonly known as PDSD.

Wang Sheng came over immediately after hearing the noise and said with a smile, "Captain Jiang, our director is here with the city leaders to inspect the scene. The leaders still want to hear your judgment."

"I'm here." Jiang Yuan got out of bed, wiped his face, and asked, "Do you want me to clean up and change clothes?"

"I think the original ecology is pretty good." Wang Sheng said implicitly.

"Okay." Jiang Yuan looked at the watch again. He had just slept for less than 4 hours. As he walked, he asked Wang Chuanxing beside him: "Where are you now? What results have you achieved?"

"We have searched all the key areas, especially the 60 square meters area around the detonation point. Not only have the upper rubble been cleared, but the collapsed floors have also been torn off, and the lower floors have been cleaned up % to %. We found more than pieces of evidence. Please take a look... However, there is still no conclusive evidence." Wang Chuanxing said this without caring about Wang Sheng's presence, and said directly: "After we made the report, the leaders were a little unhappy."

"Yeah, that's normal." Jiang Yuan had a lot of experience, so he answered very easily.

Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment. He could tell from Jiang Yuan's tone that he was really stress-free, even a little relaxed. He looked Jiang Yuan up and down and said, "Captain Jiang, are you more confident in your own judgment or Director Xu's investigation?"

He didn't need to ask Jiang Yuan if he was under pressure. In this kind of environment and with this kind of mission intensity, all soldiers would feel pressure. Jiang Yuan was specially invited here, with leaders from ministries and commissions, and also with Xu Taining, who was particularly good at spending money. Even the most heartless person would have to frown in the face of such trinity pressure.

Therefore, Wang Sheng felt that only when he was sure of victory could he be as stress-free as Jiang Yuan.

He also hoped to hear such an answer.

At this moment, he wanted someone to point at him and say: The scheming frog has been touching your belly!
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "I had anticipated the difficulty of the case. That's why I asked you to invite Xu Taining over at the beginning. Now, does it make sense?"

Wang Sheng's logical thinking is very good, and he barely caught up with Jiang Yuan's thinking: "Are you trying to use Xu Taining's inability to find evidence to prove that it was right to invite Xu Taining?"

“How’s the proof?”

"Uh... the evidence is indeed very strong." Wang Sheng sighed: "So, did you expect that you would not be able to find evidence in the first three days?"

"It's good luck to find it, it's normal not to find it." Jiang Yuan's answer was quite standard this time. In fact, for him, the more major cases he handled and the more large-scale investigations he conducted, the time and cost spent on the investigations would eventually return to the mean.

In comparison, although Wang Sheng's rank is higher than Jiang Yuan and he has more experience as a police officer, he has been working in the police station of a prefecture-level city for many years and has very little similar experience.

Therefore, Wang Sheng hoped that he could get lucky and always wanted to be in the top 30%, top 10%, or even top 5%. He wished that the investigation team could dig three shovels and get results.

However, for "big case guys" like Jiang Yuan and Xu Taining, it is normal to get results on the first day of investigation, and it is also normal to get results on the tenth day. Although they have to try their best to shorten the time and reduce mistakes, they have to accept the fact that they don't have good luck, or in other words, they don't have super good luck.

In other words, it only took a few words for several people to enter the command tent.

Wang Sheng shouted "report", then welcomed Jiang Yuan and others into the tent and introduced the dozen or so people inside.

"First of all, I have to make it clear that we are here to support everyone's work, not to cause trouble." Zhang Dinghui, who was pushed in the center of the crowd, spoke in a down-to-earth manner and seemed to be very reasonable.

Song Tiancheng from the ministry smiled and said, "Our goals are the same."

"Yes, that's what I mean." Zhang Dinghui had just chatted with Song Tiancheng for a while, and they were somewhat familiar with each other. He also knew that the commanders and people in charge on the scene were Jiang Yuan and Xu Taining, and he immediately set his eyes on the two of them and said with a smile: "Now, first of all, I actually want to know one thing, are we still facing the risk of another explosion?"

His question was very to the point. He didn't ask about the murderer or whether the case would be solved. He just asked whether there would be another explosion.

From Zhang Dinghui's perspective, it is also very understandable. Solving the case is important, but another explosion is absolutely unacceptable.

This is also the reason why top criminal investigation resources appear on the scene - barefoot immortal Song Tiancheng, criminal investigator Jiang Yuan, and investigation personnel Xu Taining, all of whom are here to guard against this risk.

Wang Sheng, Xu Taining and others, who originally wanted to have a gradual conversation, couldn't help but frown.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Yuan.

This question may not seem difficult at first glance, but upon closer inspection, only Jiang Yuan can answer it.

"We haven't found conclusive evidence to prove that the bomb was detonated remotely. We can't prove that the bomb was detonated with a delay." Jiang Yuan's answer was a bit official, but then Jiang Yuan slid to the other end of language skills: "However, the key issue now is that we haven't found key evidence to prove that the bomb was not detonated remotely or with a delay."

Everyone in the tent was a frequent tongue-flirter, and they immediately understood what Jiang Yuan meant.

"Is it because the search failed to achieve its goal, or what?" Zhang Dinghui wanted a positive answer.

"There is no evidence that there will be a second explosion. But the risk of this explosion definitely exists." Jiang Yuan paused for a moment, then continued, "Now, we can only respond based on the worst possible scenario."

"Are we going to deal with the worst possible scenario?" Zhang Dinghui repeated Jiang Yuan's words, then looked at the director next to him and said, "In the face of the worst possible scenario, have we done our best?"

The director took a deep breath and said, "We faced it with our best efforts."

Wang Sheng, the detachment leader who was two levels lower than the director, did not even have the opportunity to speak in such an occasion. He only felt anxious all over and could feel the pressure coming down from the director.

This state is the most painful time, and it is also the time when the investigators are under the greatest mental pressure. If you read the reports of major cases, many investigators mentioned this plateau period with hatred and sighs.

I hate this process, and I sigh that I made it through. But those who have the opportunity to be interviewed are those who made it through, what about those who didn’t?
The pressure does not only come from the case itself, but mainly from the pressure from superiors.

Just like now, Wang Sheng can almost guess what the director will face next - choose between "solving the case within a limited time" and "military order", or both.

This traditional art is encountered by almost every level of police force.

But it is impossible to eliminate them. The “time limit to solve the case” and “military order” are essentially a reflection of the enormous pressure that the superiors themselves face.

After Zhang Dinghui issued the order of "solving the case within a limited time" or "military order", the director could only make stricter demands on his subordinates. As the detachment leader, Wang Sheng could only decompose the tasks, so to speak, adding more pressure layer by layer.

In an instant, the air in the tent seemed to become thinner.

"Facing the worst possible scenario, we have done the best." Jiang Yuan's voice was a little abrupt, but it broke the thick and serious atmosphere.

Zhang Dinghui couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuan in surprise.

In his position, he actually doesn't like strategies like "solving the case within a limited time" or "military order", but does he have a better strategic option?
If he does not make demands and delegate responsibility, can he bear the responsibility for another bombing?

"If possible, I would like to take a few minutes of your time to explain to you what we have done in the past few days. I hope to explain why we have done our best." Jiang Yuan stood up without much hesitation. From the perspective of solving cases, he also disliked "solving cases within a time limit" and "military orders".

To do the best, his team does not need a "time limit" or a "military order". From this perspective, standing up and rejecting them is a proof in itself.

But at this moment, no one has noticed this.
