Chapter 874 - 812 Double the Effort
Criminal Investigation Unit.
Lei Xin urgently combed through the recent cases of burglaries and incidentally had all of Zhu Tianwei’s colleagues called back to assist in the investigation.
By the time Jiang Yuan finished inspecting the crime scene and returned, Lei Xin had sorted out the criminal suspects.
"It’s not a hassle, they’re mostly ex-convicts," Lei Xin sighed, revisiting the old issue, "The public security situation in Qinghe City is very severe. These people used to follow Jianyuan for meals, but once their income was cut off, and they knew nothing else, some started engaging in traditional crimes."
"They’re just lazy and gluttonous," said Liu Jinghui, a man in his forties who still seemed overtly indignant as he spoke. "Following Jianyuan for meals might have been too comfortable, but ordinary people still work honestly. Even if being a porter is extremely hard work with low income, that’s no excuse for them to steal and live off others."
As the head of the Criminal Investigation Unit, Lei Xin was no longer as cynical as he used to be, nor could he speak his mind like Liu Jinghui; he could only shake his head and say, "I’m not making excuses for them, just that the reality is indeed complex. What I really mean is that, under the current circumstances, our Qinghe could really use Captain Jiang’s presence."
His was a request made in jest, with a mix of sincerity and probing.
Jiang Yuan, who was flipping through case files, looked up and said, "I was planning to stay a few more days anyway, Captain Lei shouldn’t find us bothersome."
Ningtai County was under the jurisdiction of Qinghe City, and although Ningtai County Bureau and Qianjin District Bureau were on the same administrative level, Qinghe City Bureau was the supervisory unit over Ningtai County Bureau and had the authority to give operational guidance. Over the past two years, Huang Qiangmin’s frequent travels had benefited both Ningtai County Bureau and Qinghe City Bureau, but mainly Ningtai County, with Qinghe City Bureau providing excellent cooperation.
Seeing the changing public security environment in Qinghe City, if Ningtai County Bureau had the capability to help, they should do so as much as possible. Not to mention that criminals from Qinghe City District could roam around, facilitating a breeding ground for crime, and it was unnecessary to wait until Qinghe City Bureau issued a command.
