Chapter 1244 - 1172: Distortion
"Director Liu, time is tight, I’ve already dispatched two brigades from here, along with more than twenty officers from our city’s police stations and nearby areas for you to use. By the afternoon, I should be able to dispatch a few more teams." The commander of the Mei Yang City Criminal Police Brigade, Wang Sheng, explained softly to Liu Jinghui.
Liu Jinghui quickly replied, "That’s more than enough, it far exceeds my requirements."
Liu Jinghui understood the situation and knew that Wang Sheng’s mention of dispatching more teams was purely out of politeness. Of course, if Liu Jinghui insisted on having more people, Wang Sheng would definitely find a way, considering Jiang Yuan’s connections. But Liu Jinghui prided himself on being honorable and certainly wouldn’t exploit this.
In the Mei Yang City Criminal Police Brigade, a full brigade could have over fifty people, but obviously, this is impossible, as the Criminal Police Brigade itself enjoys no such privilege.
Therefore, Liu Jinghui estimated that getting more than twenty people was already quite good.
After all, everyone had their own cases to handle and couldn’t just drop everything to assist Jiang Yuan’s Cold Case Team in pursuing fugitives.
The police force today is always short-staffed, whether in criminal investigation or the police stations. It’s not like one case is completed before starting another; everyone is working on multiple cases simultaneously, progressing in parallel, or in other words, "multi-thread case handling."
Thus, the "special" in "Special Task Force" carries significant weight because it means multiple officers are focused solely on solving a single case. This is just like specific funds for specific purposes, theoretically so.
Manpower in the Mei Yang City Criminal Police Brigade is also insufficient. Jiang Yuan and his team arrived unexpectedly, and the Mei Yang City Criminal Police Brigade received no prior notice. Naturally, local criminals in Mei Yang City continue committing crimes without any understanding.
