Chapter 1200 - 1130: Arrest According to the List
"Are we supposed to arrest people according to the list?" Director Xu personally placed a plate of peeled persimmons in front of Jiang Yuan and asked him eagerly.
The buyers of the guns are spread throughout the province and possibly across the entire country. The Provincial Department doesn’t have the manpower to make arrests on site, so the most suitable option is the Luo Jin City Bureau. Director Xu was in a favorable position to get the first opportunity.
Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "The confirmed gun buyers can be arrested. There might be some danger involved. Also, what are their sales channels like?"
"Just like drug trafficking, it’s either by mail or direct delivery. They mainly import guns via direct delivery." Liu Jinghui had obviously paid attention to this issue, having reviewed the interrogation records early and sent over the questioning outline. He now said, "They are easier to deal with than drug traffickers. Once the guns are disassembled into parts, they can be stored separately without being discovered. Only transporting gun barrels carries some risk, but they have special tool certificates, and some are blatantly transported."
"Is it the same as this time?"
"More or less the same, but the parts they transported this time were complete. They were initially intended to be sold to Zhang Lei, so the guns were assembled. After killing Zhang Lei, they disassembled the guns again but still packed them all in the car," Liu Jinghui summarized the main findings from the interrogation records in a few words.
Jiang Yuan was beginning to ponder it over and nodded, saying, "So they killed Zhang Lei because of a conflict, quickly drove back, disassembled the guns on the way, switched cars, and then drove all the way back to Lanyue City to dump the body? Why didn’t they find a place to bury the body?"
"This will probably only be known after we catch the murderer." Liu Jinghui naturally had considered this question, but he didn’t dwell on it, asking, "What’s your thought?"
"The big bosses need to be caught, but the small fry shouldn’t be let go. Those who transport and mail parts, the mules, must also be caught quickly to prevent them from escaping." Jiang Yuan’s task was to conduct a thorough investigation, and he was not worried about the syndicate’s key members escaping.
Currently, the syndicate’s top structure is unclear, but the core members are definitely on the run. With the current domestic investigation methods, middle-level members are likely also unable to escape.
