Bab 28: Task Force
Sirens blared.
The area around Jinling Station was quickly sealed off, and everyone passing by was subjected to identity checks. Travelers needing to leave were even having their tickets inspected.
However, Ye Gaoyi knew that this level of search wouldn't likely lead to Li Xuan's capture. He flicked his cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out, then asked Xu Zhibin, who stood beside him, for another cigarette.
In the narrow alley where they stood, caution tape had been set up, and a state of emergency had been declared.
Wang Hua's body leaned against a garbage bin, the wound on his neck a gruesome sight. Blood had spattered far and wide due to the severed artery, with even some bloodstains reaching Ye Gaoyi's feet.
He was a ruthless character, even in death leaving a shocking scene.
"You said... What did he and Li Xuan talk about?"
Although they hadn't found Li Xuan's trace, Xu Zhibin was certain that Wang Hua's suicide was connected to him.
Ye Gaoyi took a deep drag from his cigarette and spoke in a low voice, "Who knows."
"Maybe..."
Before he could finish his sentence, footsteps from the alley entrance interrupted them.
Several forensic experts in white coats quickly approached, crossing the caution tape.
"I'm Lu Luan from the Technical Unit of the Jinling Police Department."
The lead forensic expert spoke rapidly, "Gentlemen, please step back."
"Alright."
Xu Zhibin watched the flashing lights and the busy forensics team, then absentmindedly walked out of the alley.
Just moments ago, the inspection results of Train K331 had also reached his hands.
Apart from some bloodstains on the body of carriage 11, there were no traces of blood on the wheels.
He had a rough idea of how Wang Hua had managed to evade capture in that situation.
In hindsight, if it weren't for Li Xuan, Wang Hua might have already entered Jinling and even been planning his retaliatory actions.
Knowing Wang Hua's methods, the situation would likely have become even more difficult.
However, should they be thankful to Li Xuan now?
...
On the afternoon of August 3rd, Jiang Jingtong, the Chief of Police of Zhonghai City, and Qin Dahai, the Chief of Police of Fengtian City, arrived in Jinling.
They needed to discuss the follow-up work regarding the apprehension of the major thieving gang and how to handle the resulting implications.
After a brief meeting with local leaders, they learned from Ye Gaoyi and Xu Zhibin about the situation.
"They managed to disguise themselves as train attendants and railway police?"
"They even caused Wang Hua to commit suicide?"
"And he... is really only eighteen years old?"
Faced with the succession of astonished questions from the Chief of Jinling City Police, Song Jingwei, no one present in the room spoke.
Eventually, Jiang Jingtong, the Chief of Police of Zhonghai City, broke the silence, "If not for such an individual, Captain Ye wouldn't be so anxious."
Song Jingwei nodded, "It seems we need to emphasize this matter during tonight's meeting."
"I agree... We can't delay Li Xuan's arrest any longer."
"It's hard to believe he's only eighteen years old."
"If he continues to develop, what kind of situation will we face?"
This time, everyone began to take the situation seriously.
Though Li Xuan hadn't done anything excessive and had even helped Fengtian capture Wang Hua, his presence was indeed a potential threat.
They decided that since Wang Hua's gang had been captured, Wang Hua himself had been confirmed dead, so the apprehension of Li Xuan was now an urgent task.
At 4:00 PM, Jinling City Police Department conference room.
While Jinling City Police Department hadn't played a major role in the operation, the incident had occurred in Jinling, so they were naturally tasked with handling the aftermath.
Due to the large number of attendees, the spacious conference room seemed somewhat crowded. Every seat was occupied, and some were even standing...
If it weren't for Ye Gaoyi and Xu Zhibin being the main operatives, they might have had to stand as observers.
Once all personnel were present, the meeting commenced.
Jinling City Police Department Chief Song Jingwei began, "I'd like to express my gratitude to all colleagues and personnel from relevant departments for their hard work in cracking this major gang of pickpockets."
"As for the trial of this case, Jinling will spare no effort. We are determined to eradicate this criminal gang."
While it should have been an exciting announcement, Song Jingwei's tone didn't reflect much enthusiasm.
"Additionally, I want to give special recognition to the main operatives of this operation, Captain Xu Zhibin and Captain Ye Gaoyi..."
"For the commendation ceremony in a few days, we hope you both will stay in Jinling for a while."
"Now then..."
He continued, removing his glasses and no longer focusing on the documents in his hands.
"The main theme of this meeting is the fugitive from the Zhonghai College Entrance Exam cheating case, Li Xuan."
"I believe everyone present is aware of Li Xuan's situation and has received his profile."
"Normally, a cheating case during the college entrance exam wouldn't warrant such emphasis."
"But this individual is different..."
"I must admit, he is truly a rare talent."
"In counter-surveillance and evasion, he possesses unique abilities."
"Though it deviates from protocol, exceptional circumstances call for exceptional treatment..."
"I propose a full-scale society-wide manhunt for Li Xuan and initiating special response measures..."
As he spoke, the room suddenly erupted in chaos.
Whispered conversations filled the space.
However, someone cleared their throat, silencing the entire room.
With a booming voice, the individual spoke, "Director Song, I believe such an approach... may not be practical."
Ye Gaoyi was taken aback. He had been about to speak, but someone beat him to it.
He whispered to Xu Zhibin beside him, "Who's this?"
Xu Zhibin shook his head, indicating he didn't know either.
At that moment, the man in the shirt stood up and began, "I understand that Zhonghai has used such a method before, but with limited success."
"A society-wide manhunt can lead to instability and make the criminal more cautious."
"While I'm not doubting the capabilities of the grassroots police, apprehending a criminal like this through such means is indeed difficult."
"Moreover, Jinling is vast, with five subordinate counties and six districts, not to mention the extensive passenger routes..."
"If the criminal is highly skilled, then our approach should also be more discreet."
"If we truly want to catch him, in my experience, we should use a more covert method."
Song Jingwei felt somewhat helpless with this individual. He was indeed capable, but his self-assured demeanor could be quite off-putting. His confidence in his words and actions was somewhat grating.
However, it was a time for multiple perspectives to be considered, and his opinion was worth hearing.
Rubbing his forehead, Song Jingwei said, "Kang, if you have any suggestions, please share."
The man named Kang nodded, "If possible, we should establish a special task force specifically for Li Xuan's case."
"It would be much more effective than searching blindly."
Discussions resumed.
Xu Zhibin leaned over to Ye Gaoyi and whispered, "Kang team? Is he Kang Shuwei?"
Ye Gaoyi looked a bit surprised, "Didn't expect it to be him..."
"When we were in training last year, the two cases he cracked were used as teaching materials."
"Why do I feel so uncomfortable around him..."
Xu Zhibin agreed, "Yeah, there's something about him!"
They didn't waste more words on that and focused on the discussion.
Ye Gaoyi analyzed, "If we can form a special task force to study Li Xuan's behavior patterns, it might yield results."
"Currently, we're just trailing behind Li Xuan, and that's not yielding good results."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhibin's playful demeanor faded. He nodded, refraining from speaking further.
The events on K331 had indeed weighed heavily on their minds. The feeling of being manipulated by Li Xuan was frustrating.
While they pondered this, it seemed that Song Jingwei, Qin Dahai, and Jiang Jingtong had come to a conclusion.
Song Jingwei announced, "After discussing the matter, a special task force will be formed to handle Li Xuan's case."
"Led by Jinling, with Comrade Kang Shuwei taking the lead, supported by personnel from Zhonghai and Fengtian..."
"We must apprehend Li Xuan as soon as possible!"
