1995, Starting as a Criminal Investigation Expert

"Fuck you."

After taking the cartridge case and confirming that the markings were indeed 311-85, Xu Qiang immediately swore.

He had a bad feeling beforehand.

I feel those two won't stop; they might be planning something big.

Well, that's really bad; I've really gotten myself into a big mess.

Three dead and two injured, that's ruthless!

So, it's true that once someone is killed, there's no way out, and no taboos are allowed?

Xiao Rui's eyes were already red.

The case in the High-tech Zone was handled by myself, and after more than a week of trouble, I still don't know who the suspect is.

Now look what's happened: the suspect hasn't been caught, and now another major crime has been committed.

Leaving aside the issue of taking responsibility, don't you have any shame?

This is a provocation against the entire squadron, a provocation of the level of close-range, all-out attack!

Wang Benyi hurriedly asked what was going on.

"Stop talking."

Xu Qiang raised his hand to interrupt him, his face ashen, and pointed at Xiao Rui, saying, "Xiao Rui, as we agreed, immediately organize people to chase after him. If the suspect gets away again this time, I'll be the first to not let you off!"

His tone was vicious, clearly indicating that he was genuinely angry.

Xiao Rui cursed under his breath, turned and ran away, calling to his teammates.

Wang Benyi hurriedly called for people to follow.

"Old Han, I'm leaving this to you. You can't afford to cause any problems."

After hastily leaving a message, Xu Qiang turned and went to his car to contact the command center via the vehicle's radio.

It's far away at the Municipal Bureau.

With such a heinous case occurring, it was impossible for Tang Weidong not to be alarmed.

He has arrived at the city bureau's so-called intelligent command center and is in charge of directing operations.

The reason it's called "so-called" is because this "intelligentization" represents a beautiful aspiration—to emulate large cities like Ankyo and Matsuura.

The current command center has three intelligent functions.

The system can automatically record alarms for easy review later.

Then, remote communication can be achieved through the city's relay radio stations.

Finally, there is a 486 computer, which can be used for simple data entry.

Everything else is done by hand.

There is no so-called monitoring platform. The number of cameras in the city is limited. For example, at traffic intersections, in such a large city, only 8 intersections have cameras installed.

All that can be done now is for Deputy Director Sun, who is on duty, to keep making phone calls to contact lower-level departments throughout the city and arrange for them to set up roadblocks on major roads leading out of the city.

Tang Weidong and Zhou Jie, the executive deputy director, were gathered in front of a huge map of Nanjiang City, discussing the suspect's possible escape routes.

At this moment, Xu Qiang contacted the command center via radio.

"What?!"

Deputy Director Sun was about to ask about the situation on the ground when Xu Qiang unexpectedly threw out such a bombshell.

Tang Weidong's expression changed immediately. He hurriedly walked over, grabbed the walkie-talkie, and asked, "Xu Qiang, are you sure it really is them?"

The case in the High-tech Zone also resulted in one death and one injury; it wasn't a minor case, and he's been keeping an eye on it.

Xu Qiang said, "Director Tang, the bottom of the shell casings at the scene is marked 311-85. That's right, those are the two bastards."

"Director Tang, eyewitnesses at the scene said that the suspects went east and passed in front of Yanqiao Middle School. I've analyzed it, and they now have two possible destinations."

"One option is to head north along Provincial Highway 229 to Jigang. The other is to give us a false alarm, turn around and hide back in the city."

"If it's the former, there's only one road to Jigang, 229. There's a county border checkpoint near Tangtou Bridge. It's only five kilometers from Yanqiao Bridge. They can get there in ten minutes by motorcycle."

"At 8:50, the New Taipei Precinct contacted the Tangtou Bridge area to increase security. It was too late; the suspect may have already gone there."

"But I'm thinking about it. The suspect stole the money box, which was a metal box with the words 'credit union' printed on it. It was very conspicuous and had a lock. It might not be easy to pry it open in a short time. They might not take the main road; they are very likely to take the rural road."

"What I mean is, let the port area take action now. First, block the main roads and keep them in the city. Then, mobilize resources to conduct a large-scale patrol of the side streets and try to find them."

Tang Weidong's expression was extremely serious. After a moment's thought, he decided to have Xu Qiang stay at the scene to focus on investigating eyewitnesses and reconstructing the suspect's escape route.

As for the pursuit and blockade, leave that to me.

After hanging up the call, Tang Weidong immediately picked up the phone and called the city's armed police detachment.

He concurrently served as the first political commissar of the Armed Police detachment, making him the de facto supreme commander.

Not only were mobile squadrons mobilized, but also waterborne, border defense, and fixed duty squadrons were all mobilized.

This is not enough.

Police forces from the three counties of Jigang, Donglin, and Tingyang were also fully mobilized.

All the police officers on duty went out into the streets, blocked off major traffic arteries, and searched for their own people.

Executive Deputy Director Zhou Jie's expression changed slightly.

This level of mobilization means one thing: the city is under lockdown!

But in Zhou Jie's view, this is actually the best, or rather the only, option.

It has only been an hour and a half since the incident occurred.

The suspect was riding a motorcycle and couldn't even leave Nanjiang.

Anyway, let's spread out this net first, and then search from the outside in. We're sure we'll find those two people.

After quickly giving his instructions, Tang Weidong left the command center again.

The lockdown is such a big deal, it has a huge impact, so he needs to communicate with the city authorities and explain the situation.

He had little reason to hesitate.

This is extremely serious.

From four consecutive burglaries in the High-tech Zone to an escalation of the crime, resulting in one death and one injury.

Now, in broad daylight, they robbed an armored truck, resulting in three deaths and two injuries, and stole 32 yuan in cash.

They were extremely arrogant and presumptuous!

We must use swift and decisive measures to make them pay the price.

At a single command, all police forces in the city sprang into action.

The city center train station.

The armed police on duty lined up and hurried out.

Wearing camouflage uniforms, helmets, carrying 81-inch steel bars, and wearing liberation shoes, they quickly guarded the entrance to the station.

Inside the waiting hall, police officers from the station's police station were already armed and carrying Type 79 assault rifles, checking suspicious individuals in the hall.

Tangtou Bridge.

As the only main road connecting the city center to Jigang, it experiences a significant daily traffic volume.

It has already been blocked.

The on-duty police officers set up roadblocks and were checking every passing vehicle and registering the identity information of each person.

A long queue has formed from south to north.

Many people craned their necks and peered ahead.

"What's going on here? Why is there such a big commotion?"

"Who knows? It's definitely not a small matter."

"Oh my god, the soldiers are here."

In the direction of Jigang, a jeep was leading the way, followed by a truck.

The truck came to a stop, the door opened, and two teams of armed police officers jumped out in droves, guns in hand.

They then quickly lined up, ran forward, and took over the checkpoint.

At Tang Weidong's command, the entire Nanjiang area was placed under lockdown.

at the same time.

At the crime scene, the technical team was ready to enter.

Li Shu put on gloves and shoe covers, and followed Zhao Yong, entering the scene through the temporary passage where the ambulance had previously transported people.

It all started with the first escort officer who was killed, from the left rear of the jeep.

"Over here."

Zhao Yong pointed to the ground.

A circle was drawn on the ground with chalk.

This is where the spent cartridge case fell after the suspect fired the first shot.

Zhao Yong hadn't forgotten to test Li Shu and his companion, so he squatted down and asked, "Do either of you know the distribution range of spent casings ejected from a Type 54 pistol?"

This is indeed a point of knowledge.

Li Shu quickly added, "It's a fan-shaped area about 1.5 to 3 meters to the right rear of the archer."

The ejection port of the Type 54 pistol is located on the upper right side of the slide.

Then, some people in China had already done relevant research and reached this conclusion.

Zhao Yong nodded in satisfaction and asked Li Shu to get a measuring tape to measure the distance.
