Chapter 1252: Chapter 1179: It’s Him

"Hello. Director Li, hello, I’m Song Tiancheng from the Ministry."

"Oh, oh, hello, hello, the information you requested is being compiled overtime. It will be delivered soon. You know, we’re a small place, vast land with sparse population, limited personnel available, and many surveillance cameras at the train station..."

"Well, of the 26 cities, 17 have already delivered the materials. The remaining 9, including your bureau, rank lower. I have notified each one, hoping you can expedite the process. Later, I’ll send you the timeline for each city’s completion. Thank you." With that, Song Tiancheng hung up the phone.

He didn’t have direct authority to command local police bureaus; he wasn’t very familiar with the situation of these grassroots police stations, let alone the temperament of local leaders. But within the development of police bureaus over the years, the sense of honor is deeply ingrained in everyone.

Song Tiancheng’s remark "Your bureau ranks lower" had an effect better than ten meetings.

The seasoned veterans in the bureau reacted like they had been struck with alum, quickly warming up and expanding.

Putting down the phone, Song Tiancheng took another sip of tea. Soon, the secretary handed over another phone receiver, whispering, "This is Director Zhao Zhongfa..."

Song Tiancheng first listened to the secretary’s report in his ear, then picked up the phone, "Hello, Director Zhao..."

Huang Qiangmin acted busy as he listened from the corner, nodding frequently, as if gaining some insights.

After making a round of calls, Song Tiancheng’s teacup was still precisely eight-tenths full. He took a leisurely sip and asked, "Is there anything else delivered?"

"Yes, surveillance video from Weili County has been delivered, but it’s incomplete. They mentioned they’ll supplement it later," the subordinate reported promptly.

Song Tiancheng nodded, "They’re all quite clever. It’s okay. Bring out the supplemental list I asked you to prepare before. Rank them according to the time and number of supplements needed, using golf scoring rules. It will be called... standard supplement counts, the fewer the supplements, the higher the ranking, and the longer the delay, the lower the ranking."

"Yes," the subordinate understood immediately. The Ministry might lack other things, but there’s no shortage of math experts, programming geniuses, and material masters. If someone is none of these, they are surely well-connected, still capable of getting things done.

In the corner, Huang Qiangmin watched with bright eyes. Learning and contemplating.

Next door, in the meeting room.

image investigation officers, divided into 8 groups, were reviewing surveillance videos sent from various locations.

When there’s no target or direction, having a thousand people watch surveillance videos is useless. But now there’s a confirmed target, and the situation is entirely different.

Although Jiang Yuan felt it was somewhat wasteful, the command center immediately allocated personnel to support Jiang Yuan.

Currently, resources were piled high, and the army was unsure of the enemy’s location. Anywhere that could break through, reinforcements were eagerly sought without worrying too much about cost-effectiveness.

Moreover, speaking objectively, with at least dozens of hours of surveillance video to be delivered from more than twenty stations, having Jiang Yuan review it all alone, even at triple speed, would require considerable time.

Everyone would share the work, with each team having one or two Level 2 image investigators. Under normal circumstances, suspects shouldn’t be able to escape.

Level 2 image investigators are considered technical experts in a county, having viewed at least tens of thousands of hours of video and being eager to learn and skilled at it. A wild-level suspect would find it difficult to escape in a train station environment.

A train station is similar to a ring with few strategic options for either side; masters inside can only scrape by without high-level LV3 skills, making it impractical.

Even Ren Kuangshan might not have LV3 driving skills, let alone escape skills.

In fact, the first one to point out Ren Kuangshan was Wei Shikan, who was serving tea nearby.

Wei Shikan didn’t understand image investigation, but while sipping Kopi Luwak, he glanced at the screen and saw someone wearing a mask and windproof leather jacket, laughing, "Watched for so long and someone wearing a mask so carefully, it’s a top-ranked suspect, right? Does it look like a suspect?"

Several image investigators sitting below were indeed scrutinizing this person, but how could they shout without confirmation?

Those with a bit of workplace experience know that reporting to leaders should be minimal, and definitive answers must be confirmed and reconfirmed.

In such a major case, if they cried wolf, even if they caught a fugitive later, if it’s not Ren Kuangshan, it won’t work!

But Wei Shikan was different. Standing in a hall of nearly 200 people, he wasn’t intimidated; instead, he exhibited his social charisma, wandering through groups and speaking out whenever he saw something interesting, never caring about others’ opinions.

What he did wasn’t wrong. How others view him was determined for Wei Shikan long ago.

Whether it’s a gilded second-generation, diligent second-generation, serious second-generation, or a playful second-generation, the core is second-generation, not the preceding article.

But regardless, the first to call out Ren Kuangshan was indeed Wei Shikan.

Sitting below were several image investigators, who were now serious after being preempted, staring intensely at the screen.

As police officers, they were each more cunning than crooks.

If the image investigators here spoke recklessly, no one would pay them any mind.

But Wei Shikan had already called it out, yet the image investigators below were watching the video like facing a great enemy; this clearly didn’t fit the usual scenario.

Several people gathered around.

"It does... kind of resemble him." One image investigator with slightly better skills took one look and felt it was spot on, though speaking cautiously.

Original group policemen sat like needles in a cushion, staring at the screen, watching again and again.

It was indeed very similar to Ren Kuangshan’s image, but they resented Wei Shikan for stealing the thunder.

Second-generation, genuinely detestable!

"Quickly report to Captain Jiang." Several having seen it dared not delay any longer.

Jiang Yuan came upon hearing the news.

Wei Shikan, full of anticipation, "Did I capture Ren Kuangshan?"

"Um..." Jiang Yuan took a careful look, affirming, "It is indeed Ren Kuangshan."

"Found?"

"Just like that?"

"Second-generation intercepted it?"

People around stood up.

Liu Jinghui quickly came over, emphasizing, "The case solution is a collective achievement!"

Wei Shikan, well-versed in family teachings on this, laughed and patted a nearby image investigator’s shoulder, saying, "Brother, credit where it’s due, I’ll just hang a name, reasonable?"

The nearby image investigator quickly replied politely, "Reasonable."

Wei Shikan chuckled heartily, "I said, among passengers coming out with him, none wore masks. He stood out. Even if the train was smelly, a mask would have been soaked with the odor..."

"Makes sense!"

"Awesome!"

No matter what, Wei Shikan genuinely pointed out the person, what else could they say but cooperate?

Jiang Yuan promptly reported to Song Tiancheng.

Song Tiancheng came over, maintaining composure, and expressed approval to Wei Shikan.

Thereafter, Song Tiancheng immediately ordered, "Record this, I make the following deployment."

"Continue to collect surveillance videos inside and outside the station to try and locate Ren Kuangshan’s whereabouts. Pay special attention to transfer points, parking lots, etc."

"Comprehensively review Ren Kuangshan’s relationships locally to see if he has any relatives or friends he might seek refuge with."

"Surrounding the train station, continue screening vehicle checkpoints and facial recognition checkpoints to confirm Ren Kuangshan’s whereabouts."

"Request local technical investigation to confirm and locate Ren Kuangshan’s phone; he should have a new phone and number now, see if you can identify which one."

Despite a similar set of deployments, the manpower and resources required this time were significantly less than at the start.

Including Jiang Yuan and others, a brief sense of relief was felt.

Especially with Song Tiancheng’s arrangement for technical investigation, once Ren Kuangshan’s current phone number is confirmed, if it hasn’t been changed, his location can directly be marked on the map.
