Chapter 950 - 886: Just Take a Look
Jiang Yuan’s Accumulated Case Team.
Amidst the dense clatter of keyboards, people were constantly bustling about. The incessant ringing and hanging up of phones made the place as lively as a financial company.
However, this place doesn’t trade in money, only prison terms!
Meng Chengbiao entered the room with a smug expression, just in time to hear an officer at the door speaking on the phone:
"Liu, I called you because we’re close, and the criminal is a relative of yours, also surnamed Liu, a homicide fugitive. If caught, he’s looking at at least 20 years..."
"Right, right, right, murder, not accidental death. This guy is a thug who got into a conflict with someone; the next night he waited by the road and stabbed the person, then ran off to Guangyue for over a decade. He’s somewhat established himself now, got himself an ID card and all. If it weren’t for someone here wanting to earn merit, you wouldn’t have had the chance, you know. A criminal starting at 20 years, send me two people, each for nine months!"
"Three months won’t do, what’s the use of a temp transfer for three months? We’re not lacking hands; three months would just end up as us training people for you. You should be paying us for that, get it? How about this, one person for eight months, another for half a year, but you have to choose officers with more than three years on the force, we don’t want fresh recruits, train them yourself."
Meng Chengbiao could tell from the expression of the officer on the phone that the negotiation was going smoothly. And how could it not? Capturing a fugitive linked to a homicide is headline news in small places. In comparison, lending officers to higher-level units is an all-the-time affair, like in a provincial capital city like Changyang, where the provincial and municipal bureaus constantly have hundreds of officers on loan, having become the norm. And it’s no exception for the lower-level units; everybody is in a state of rampant borrowing.
And the better-performing, more assertive lower-level units, in fact, lend fewer officers to higher-ups. After all the ins and outs, they actually come out ahead.
"Team Meng, did it go well?" Tang Jia greeted Meng Chengbiao as he came in.
