Chapter 1247: Chapter 1174 Liu Wenkai’s Train of Thought

Crack!

In the gloomy weather, a flash of lightning struck, illuminating nothing but emptiness.

In this kind of weather, if you’re alone in a room, you’ll feel a little scared. But if you’re with a bunch of guys in one room, all you get is the stench brought by the humid heat.

Jiang Yuan looked at the screen, his brow furrowed unconsciously, and he fanned his face with his hand.

Seeing this, Wang Chuanxing immediately instructed, "Are all the windows open? Also, turn on the air conditioning and start dehumidifying."

"All open." There are temporary workers sent by the Mei Yang City Bureau to do these chores, mostly sent over due to some family connections, similar to ancient local servants who had guarantees.

"Then buy two more dehumidifiers. This hall is so large, two air conditioners aren’t enough. Get the locally delivered kind, and speed it up a bit," Wang Chuanxing arranged, adding, "Have the invoice billed to the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment."

They were there to help the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment, and it was only natural for the other party to provide suitable working conditions for human survival.

After Wang Chuanxing arranged everything, he looked at Jiang Yuan again and saw Jiang Yuan still focusing on the screen, which put him at ease. As long as he didn’t interrupt Jiang Yuan’s work, his task was eighty percent done.

"Want a meat bun?" Wu Junhao returned at some point, carrying a large box, and began distributing meat buns to everyone.

A box full of meat buns must have cost quite a bit.

Wang Chuanxing felt it was a pity just looking at them. He first took a meat bun and then said, "Big Wu, why do you keep spending your own money? All these expenses can go on Changyang’s tab."

Wu Junhao slapped his forehead, "I’m just used to it. Forgot we can expense things now that we’re out."

"Let me handle the expenses for you. You’re really generous," Wang Chuanxing requested Wu Junhao for WeChat screenshots and takeaway orders from when he paid and skillfully prepared to expense them.

"Anyway, I can’t use up my allowance," Wu Junhao chuckled, rubbed his bald head, and continued handing out meat buns, looking very happy.

Since Jiang Yuan arrived, the police system in Ningtai County had been upgraded overall, with the addition of units like the Taihe Working Group, Image Reconnaissance Brigade, and the Patrol and Bomb Squad. Many officers had been promoted, and Wu Junhao finally got the deputy section-head treatment he’d always wished for. The travel subsidies increased, and after family harmony, personal expenses turned into spiritual needs.

Wang Chuanxing smacked his lips twice, "Having a house without a loan is really different, huh."

"We’ve just got a place in the county town. If you want to buy in the county, it’s not a problem," Wu Junhao smiled at Wang Chuanxing and said, "You keep wanting to buy in Changyang City, so of course, it’s expensive."

"It’s not necessarily about buying in Changyang City," Wang Chuanxing shook his head, "I’m afraid to take out a loan now, and though I can’t save much, look at Ren Kuangshan. He’s just got good luck; he paid off his car loan early and now does as he pleases."

Wu Junhao, lacking subtlety, said, "What’s lucky about him? He’s got cancer."

"Some say cancer is a good thing, letting you foresee when your life ends so you can say goodbye to your family properly, leaving no regrets," Wang Chuanxing sighed.

Liu Wenkai strolled over and approached Liu Jinghui, saying, "Director Liu, I saw an update from the command center suggesting Ren Kuangshan might escape to Mongolia. What do you think?"

"You’re talking about the word the detective brought back, right?" Liu Jinghui clearly was aware of the information but shook his head, saying, "It’s too one-sided. Ren Kuangshan was just bragging while having a barbeque and drinking with friends. No need to take it seriously."

"What did he say?" Wu Junhao was baffled.

Liu Wenkai said, "About two months ago, he was chatting with friends and mentioned Outer Mongolia, saying it’s like the backyard for South Koreans, with Koreans running around everywhere. Then he said, if they can play there, why can’t we?"

Wu Junhao hissed and said, "If you put it that way, it really is just a matter of getting a car to run off to Mongolia."

"If he really ran over there, buying a car isn’t very expensive. A stolen and smuggled Land Cruiser can be had for around 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. Some herders don’t maintain their cars, just drive them until they break," Liu Wenkai noted.

Wu Junhao hesitated for a moment and said, "On the grasslands, roads are needed, right?"

Liu Wenkai shrugged, "Then just continue with a motorcycle, or have a motorcycle on the car, get close to the border, ditch the car, and ride the motorcycle out."

Borders aren’t as secure as people imagine. Not only can the Americans not keep the Mexicans out with their walls, but China’s border is also long and complex.

If you really look into the stories of those border guards, you’ll find that most of them patrol the borders day by day, meaning that for most of the day, when the patrols are yet to arrive or have left, most of the border is unmanned and it’s not feasible to encircle the entire national border with barbed wire.

So, what land borders block are nothing more than roads and railways, maybe a little more fortresses and key locations. As for the rest, the Sino-Russian border is snowy virgin forest, the Tibetan-Indian border is like the journey of monk Tang Sanzang, the China-Mongolia border is where people live following water and grass, and in the southwestern border, there are even villages split between two countries.

If one is really experienced and tough, crossing on foot or with a mountain motorcycle is no problem. If willing to take a little risk, driving directly across the border isn’t impossible. People traveling in the southwest often have to be cautious, as they can easily and inadvertently drive out of the country.

Liu Jinghui listened to their discussion and asked, "Has the command center arranged personnel to go over?"

"A team has been arranged to go, but it probably won’t help much. The border area is too large to manage. If someone wants to cross the border, it will only take a few days, and by the time they find evidence, the person would have already left the country." Liu Wenkai shook his head.

"Without stronger evidence, it should be like this." Having been in many special task forces, Liu Jinghui naturally gave his judgment, saying, "The task of this team is to find more evidence to help the command center make the right decision."

Liu Wenkai glanced at Liu Jinghui, "Hearing you talk about finding evidence, it always feels a bit odd coming from you."

"I’m just good at reasoning, it doesn’t mean I don’t value evidence!" Liu Jinghui emphasized.

Liu Wenkai chuckled, skipped the topic, and said, "A team of people, going to a strange and remote border area, needs to investigate and find evidence. Even if they do find something, it would be too late by then."

"Hmm..." Liu Jinghui hesitated for a moment and slowly shook his head, "With just this one lead, we can’t possibly send several teams up there. Even if we did send several teams, it still wouldn’t be enough for such a vast area..."

"I have an idea!" Liu Wenkai interrupted Liu Jinghui.

"What serious...," Liu Jinghui blurted out, then coughed and asked, "What do you have in mind?"

"Ren Kuangshan can say those things, which shows he really has some ideas. A serious person... a serious person wouldn’t know about those things concerning South Koreans in Outer Mongolia, would they?" Liu Wenkai asked.

Liu Jinghui stared at Liu Wenkai.

Liu Wenkai shrugged nonchalantly and said, "I don’t care about useless titles like being a serious person."

"Then you’re right." Liu Jinghui said, "Go on."

"Well, I just think, Ren Kuangshan doesn’t actually know much about Outer Mongolia, and his knowledge of the China-Mongolia border is probably something he found online. In that case, if he really went to the China-Mongolia border, whether crossing or whatever, it would be normal for him to casually explore the local nightlife while experiencing the area, wouldn’t it?"

Liu Jinghui listened and nodded slowly, "You know, you might be onto something..."

"Right. So, I suggest we go over there now and don’t worry about the border. The grasslands are so vast, even an entire army wouldn’t cover them. We should contact the local police, crack down on the local illicit industries, and then spread the word. You never know, someone aspiring to work with us might come forward." Liu Wenkai, being a practical criminal detective, suggested a simple yet highly feasible strategy.

In fact, using illicit industries to solve major cases is a very realistic approach. In the earlier days, without so much surveillance and smartphones, the police often relied on these industries to find people.

After a big heist or a murder, once criminals get their hands on money, few return to their wives and a warm home. Or rather, most who dare such dangerous ventures are usually those without wives and children. When the thrill wears off, and they have money, they inevitably seek out women.

Ren Kuangshan has now left his wife and child behind, fleeing alone, and psychologically, he’s become akin to a notorious outlaw, though maybe with less foundation.

Liu Jinghui thought for a moment and asked Liu Wenkai, "Are you thinking of going to Mongolia?"

Liu Wenkai nodded and glanced at Wu Junhao, "Everyone needs something to strive for. It can’t just be about working out and eating roujiamo every day, right?"

"If you’ve thought it through, I won’t oppose. However, based on the video Jiang Yuan found, Ren Kuangshan most likely headed northeast..." Liu Jinghui confirmed once more with Liu Wenkai.

"Let’s just take a gamble. No need for any investment, and if we win, it’s a big one." Liu Wenkai said frankly.

The northeast direction is being pursued by Jiang Yuan, and the southwest direction is being blocked by Ge Zhibing, both tasks at a higher level. Given Ge Zhibing’s brigade leader title, at least it’s one level above Huang Qiangmin’s. Nevertheless, they are actually gambling, because only one of them can win.

If Liu Wenkai gets a chance to independently block one path, successful efforts could mean at least a second-class merit, and with higher independence, even a first-class merit. Using the Eight Banners’ calculation, it’s half a future at the start.

Liu Jinghui said no more, taking Liu Wenkai to talk to Jiang Yuan and Huang Qiangmin. After getting their consent, Jiang Yuan called the command center to apply.

Others might need to explain a lot, but Jiang Yuan handled it in a few words.

With the authorization, Liu Wenkai was overjoyed, "I’m going to book a flight now."

"I’ll arrange a business jet for you." Jiang Yuan was in favor of Liu Wenkai’s new idea. Although people had been sent to the China-Mongolia border, in terms of actual impact, there were indeed gaps.

It was already the fourth day since the incident, and if Liu Wenkai transferred through multiple connections, there was indeed a risk of delay.

Liu Wenkai felt a bit bashful, "A business jet... that’s too extravagant. This isn’t quite right; I’m just a deputy section head..."

"You also need to coordinate and arrange once you get there, and time is tight. I’ll contact a few forensic experts who know the local criminal police and security well... I’ll also give Chief Yu a heads up." Jiang Yuan said as he once again picked up the phone.

Liu Wenkai chuckled bashfully, "It’s all for work. I heard Ge Zhibing also booked a charter flight over, though his status is a bit different..."
