Chapter 670 - 613 Concentrated Arrests
"The cases involving the Toyotas were all done by Li Jiaoliang. He likes to steal oil by the national highways, which is quite distinctive. It’s not easily captured by cameras, but the tire tracks are very conspicuous. Moreover, Li Jiaoliang has a habit of involving multiple people in oil theft, which often leads to conflicts. It’s a bad habit."
Jiang Yuan, who had looked at many cases, couldn’t help but comment as he spoke.
From the cases he had seen in the past few days, Jiang Yuan felt that if he were to plan them, he could probably do a much better job.
Of course, this wasn’t a matter of modesty, since most thieves committed rather sloppy crimes. People who lived by crime often had lower education and capabilities, and most turned to crime only when they had no other solutions, choosing modes of crime that were high risk for low reward.
So, crime could indeed be about cost-effectiveness, but most criminals don’t even consider this factor.
By now it was noon, and Tan Jing was having a hard time allocating his officers. Looking at the scale of the case, he said, "I can’t do this anymore; I’ve really got no one left. Li Jiaoliang’s gang often consists of three to six people, and counting myself, there are less than five of us at the station who can be mobilized. I’ve already called back those who were on leave."
There were still fixed duties at the police station. Even though one could occasionally hear about mobilizing all available staff, including those from the Household Registration Office, to the front line, this clearly couldn’t be the norm. Otherwise, residents coming to get things done would find every office door locked, which would definitely lead to dissatisfaction.
Jiang Yuan was in high spirits and thought to himself, "Then I’ll go with you. There’s me, Mu Zhiyang, and Wang Chuanxing, that makes three of us. And Pang Da too? That’s five people."
Everyone from Jiang Yuan’s Accumulated Case Team had been dispatched, leaving only a few in the office.
"No, no, no," Tan Jing hastily waved his hands. "It’s just to catch a few thieves; there’s no need for you to go out there. And Captain Pang definitely doesn’t need to be involved—he’s in charge of commanding even in murder cases."
