Chapter 456 - 456 420 As Everyone Knows

456: Chapter 420: As Everyone Knows 456: Chapter 420: As Everyone Knows “Sir, we’re offering free dog licenses; let me get one for you, alright?”

“If you don’t get it done now, you’ll have to go to the police station later, and by then there will be more people, so you’ll have to queue up, and you’ll also have to pay a two yuan fee for creating the license.

If you do it now, I can waive the fee for you.”

“Hey, let me take a photo of your dog.

Keep this certificate; you can store it on your phone.

That way, in the future, either the actual certificate or the photo of it on your phone will suffice.”

The officers were dispersed across the entire county, especially in the area surrounding Song Alley, attending to anyone walking a dog in order to issue a license.

To be honest, the licenses being issued now didn’t really serve a practical purpose, much like when hotels initially began requiring identification cards for check-ins; no one with issues would foolishly come forward.

However, once a significant number of licenses had been issued, it would be akin to the situation where hotels and internet cafes began requiring IDs – that’s when the riff-raff would start slipping up.

This was all about territory control.

Establish the territory first then whether you actively strike or sit back and wait for criminals to fall into the trap, the groundwork serves its purpose.

The officers from Jiang Yuan’s Accumulated Case Team played a tremendous role.

Frankly speaking, in the cutthroat competition over the last few years, the entry standards for the criminal police teams in the provincial capital began to resemble graduate training programs – wholly unnecessary but a consequence of overwhelming application numbers, leaving the entry requirements to be continuously inflated.

The inflated requirements combined with the incredibly low admission rates meant that the newly inducted officers had high hopes for the future…

Many civil servants in their thirties start to lose their drive, often succumbing to despair in this vicious cycle.

Wang Chuanxing and others had come to Jiang Yuan’s Accumulated Case Team also in an attempt to seek a new path for promotion.

Their managerial abilities, or rather, their anticipated managerial talents, only found a place for application today – the grassroots workers from the community, the active participants from some schools, some of the grassroots police officers who were still willing to take orders, and the cadres who had been promoted to work in the sub-district offices, all had to manage themselves.

Liu Jinghui didn’t care too much.

He had seen so many complex situations that the one before him was relatively harmonious.

Sometimes, it was thoroughly problematic when investigative directions conflicted with local criminal police teams for some reasons.

Now, Xu Xuewu simply didn’t have the time for them.

“This should be enough.

Based on our current efficiency, within three to four days at most, most of the dogs in the county should have their licenses processed.

We’ve assigned people to pet stores and veterinary clinics as well, frequently conducting checks.

If we can find Guihua through dog food, vaccines, or pet grooming, that’d be best.

If not, then we’ll see if someone has adopted her.

If that fails too, we’re out of options.” Liu Jinghui didn’t mention the problems related to dog flesh trade or dog markets, as these were some of the earliest leads they had already scrutinized.

However, compared to pet stores and the like, dog markets presented a difficulty that was orders of magnitude greater in terms of management.

If Guihua had ended up there, following up on the trail would be essentially meaningless.

Luckily, Guihua was a Pug, a breed not known for having much meat.

Jiang Yuan couldn’t think of a better idea and merely asked, “What can we do to improve our results?”

Liu Jinghui raised his eyebrow, “Do the results need to be any better?

Did this dog build bridges and pave roads in a past life?”

“The dogs that build bridges and pave roads are Civil Engineering Dogs, Pugs probably were programmers in their past lives,” Jiang Yuan joked along.

As the atmosphere lightened, Liu Jinghui sighed and said, “If you want better results from territory control, we have a specific term for it – reinforced territory control.

In addition to ensuring robust foundational practices, the key is strong execution, diligent inspections, quick and fair punishment, and appropriate rewards.

It’s not just a matter of funding; it also requires substantial manpower and a high level of organization.”

Without decisive inspections, any territorial control would be nothing more than a hollow farce.

Jiang Yuan nodded; he couldn’t conjure more personnel out of thin air and could only hope that Miao He County would be able to spare some.

Whether Liao Baoquan would be able to give approval was crucial.

However, the outcome most eagerly anticipated by everyone ultimately did not materialize.

Afternoon.

Feng Qiong specifically convened a meeting to report the results.

“…Knowing death was certain, Liao Baoquan refused to confess,” Feng Qiong said in a lengthy statement, but only this last phrase was truly significant.

The outcome wasn’t unexpected, yet it was one that no one wanted to accept.

Feng Qiong’s long explanation served to give everyone time to adjust their emotions.

Psychological tactics had failed during interrogation and were now only applicable to the meeting context.

Director of the Miaoheshire Bureau, Guan Xingfu, picked up a cigarette and lit it.

Click-click-click.

The sounds of lighters flicked on one after another immediately ensued.

Everyone had been holding back, and with a leader setting the example, the smart ones wished they could finish one cigarette immediately and light another to leisurely keep smoking.

The conference room quickly filled with smoke as Director Guan Xingfu said, “Sorry about this, I’ve been a heavy smoker for a long time.

Well… Director Feng, on behalf of Miaoheshire Bureau, I want to express our stance, and we fully support the special task force’s investigative work…”

After the director and other executives made brief statements, Feng Qiong and Kang Zhichao turned their gazes to Liu Jinghui and Jiang Yuan.

Their expectations for Miao River County’s investigative capabilities were nil; however, the impressive track records of Liu Jinghui and Jiang Yuan were seen as a valuable addition to the operation.

After all, a mere duo was not enough to break a case.

Jiang Yuan reached across the conference table and pulled over a stack of photos, reviewing each one.
