Chapter 845 - 785: Repairs
The body of the deceased, Ma Jianxin, had been processed for three or four days.
Although the investigation was complete, there was still a long way to go before the case was closed. Evidence that needed to be organized and reports that must be done, nothing could be omitted.
The comfort Jiang Yuan felt came from not having to do these tasks that sounded like wrapping up but actually accounted for seventy to eighty percent of the workload.
Captain Cui was so busy he felt weak, then he watched Jiang Yuan go hunting in the morning, and in the afternoon return with a dozen petty thieves, increasing their workload once again, and he couldn’t help but contemplate advising him.
Just as this thought surfaced, Xiao Si hurriedly knocked on Captain Cui’s door, "There’s good news."
"What is it?" Captain Cui sat up.
"Jiang Yuan broke up a gambling den, apprehended a dozen drug users, and brought them back—everyone’s rushing to claim them!"
Hearing this, Captain Cui thought it was a gift—why not hurry to claim it!
In Beijing, catching drug users was relatively easy. But what was considered easy wasn’t necessarily more relaxing than catching burglars. Moreover, drug users were generally more marginalized than petty thieves; many didn’t even have cell phones, lived on the outskirts of the city, or even under bridges. Occasionally, someone would spot them, but when the police went searching, they often couldn’t be found.
For the Beijing Bureau police, drug users were somewhat like blackfish in a pond; once they appeared, capturing them was very hard, catching a big fish wasn’t easy either, but they couldn’t simply not make the effort as they could easily harm the other fish in the pond.
