"There is new information to report regarding the case."
When Liu Jinghui reappeared in the conference room, his hair was disheveled, he carried the sour stench of not having bathed for a long time mixed with the fresh scent of instant noodles, and his face was greasy. In short, he looked just like any average detective from a special case unit.
Jiang Yuan, Huang Qiangmin, Lang Heng, Su Shanming, and others sat together at the other end of the conference table, waiting to hear what Liu Jinghui had to say. Others were either sitting or standing, with some even straddling chairs to watch, the epitome of a classic case analysis meeting.
Many detectives who had been dispatched for investigation were pulled back to the task force. This could be seen as gathering forces to strike or sacrificing many early investigative results to prepare for a bigger goal. No matter which it was, it represented the task force’s emphasis and a course correction in the investigation.
Many members of the task force had something to say about this—most detectives were more familiar with and accustomed to conventional investigative methods, especially those who joined later from previous task forces. They had limited familiarity with Jiang Yuan and Liu Jinghui and were deeply concerned about the 430 case. Managing to restrain their emotions from immediately expressing opposition was a testament to the political savvy developed from years of experience.
Liu Jinghui began to slowly describe the latest progress in the case, supplemented by his own ideas and Jiang Yuan’s technical analysis.
