Chapter 809 - 752: Live Effect
o’clock in the morning.
Jiang Yuan had arrived early at the meeting room, where he checked the computer, the projector, and even tested a few slides of the PowerPoint presentation before starting to inquire about the current situation at the crime scene with Qi Changye.
Qi Changye had been busy the entire night before too. With dark circles under his eyes, he said, "Several people from our unit have already gone over there, plus I borrowed ten more, so now there’s about a dozen people on the site... by around 10 o’clock, everyone should be in place. Some of them had assignments before, and were scheduled to start new tasks today..."
Police work is never done, and Qi Changye’s unit is a typical example of being highly equipped yet understaffed. The ranks of the unit and personnel are high, but the number of people is small, the workload is large, and they are perpetually busy.
Even those he had borrowed from other units had their own duties to perform. Police work is not like other jobs where you can simply say it will be done by tomorrow and expect it to be done by tomorrow. If the criminals don’t cooperate, a case can drag on indefinitely.
At this early stage of the special case, even if Qi Changye was eager, it wasn’t possible to throw all resources at it. In his mind, if Jiang Yuan could maintain the speed of solving the Zhang Lizhen case and find a corpse within a week or two, it would be miraculous—although in reality, Qi Changye just thought of it wishfully. After all, the Zhang Lizhen case had Xu Taining, and this case wasn’t so urgent.
Jiang Yuan was too busy to pay attention to Qi Changye any longer. He nodded and said, "During the meeting later, I plan to create some live effects. I’ll need the cooperation of the officers on the scene, and they may have to travel some distance. Oh yes, have the police dogs arrived yet?"
"The police dogs have been dispatched and should arrive within an hour," said Qi Changye, who could mobilize personnel, but he had to abide by basic law and couldn’t simply ask officers from other units to work overtime on short notice without special reasons.
