Chapter 48: The Case-Solving Expert Finally

  County Bureau Director Dong Hanlin held a meeting of the entire Public Security Team in the conference room, and Guhong County also set up three teams under the Public Security Team. Although the three teams are responsible for different towns, they usually work together with the team members in the office.

  The meeting just started, Dong Hanlin sighed and said: "Comrades, have you all heard? In the criminal police team, there is a Liu Li. After being promoted to deputy captain of the third squadron by Cheng Bin, he has cracked two cases of stolen cattle in a row.

  Two gangs of thieves who stole cows were completely destroyed, all members involved were arrested and none escaped. These two cases were reported to the director, and yesterday the director rewarded the criminal police team with 15 laptops. The value of the items is not important, what matters is the leader's attitude.

  Our public security team's police force is no less than that of the criminal police team, our equipment is no worse than theirs, and our police cars are also at the same level as theirs. Why can't our public security team crack those influential cases?

  A leader once said, no matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat. I'd like to add that no matter if it's a criminal police officer or a public security police officer, as long as they can crack the case, they're a good policeman.

  Now among the criminal police team, the third brigade is the most prominent, and within the third brigade, Liu Li is the most prominent. Two days ago, Liu Li made a bold statement, saying that he would crack all the cases of stolen cattle in their jurisdiction.

  "Look at their momentum, and then look at our current performance. The year-end review is just around the corner, and the 100-day crackdown is about to begin. No need to say more, three squadron leaders, you take a stand."

  At this point, the captain of the first squadron of the Public Security Bureau stood up and coughed slightly: "Captain, our first squadron is currently investigating a case of frequent theft of silly chickens in the jurisdiction. Many chicken farms have been stolen recently, which has seriously affected the mood of local chicken farmers. We guarantee that we will crack the case before the end of the year audit."

  Just as the captain of the first squadron finished speaking, the captain of the second squadron stood up: "Report to the battalion commander, our second squadron is currently investigating small workshops and private enterprises without procedures throughout the county."

  This work has been carried out for more than two months, and the results are remarkable. So far, we have shut down three small workshops, issued a rectification notice to one of them which was operating without licenses, and cracked down on a scrap metal recycling station suspected of buying stolen electric batteries. Many citizens have applauded this effort.

  The captain of the second team finished speaking, and the captain of the third team stood up just wanting to speak. At this time, Dong Hanlin waved his hand and stopped him from speaking: "Okay, you sit down first, no need to say anything, there's nothing big going on over there."

  Head of the team, they've already solved two cases of cattle theft in a row at the criminal police department, how come you can't even solve a single case of chicken theft? I'm giving you three days, no matter what method you use, you must crack this case for me.

  Deputy Commander of the Second Brigade, how dare you report on your work just now? For more than two months, your brigade has only suspended and rectified three small workshops, issued a rectification notice, and cracked down on one waste collection station.

  After going back, take a good look at Liu Li's performance. That guy was just an ordinary police officer before becoming the deputy captain of the third squadron of the criminal police brigade. However, in a small village, he took down a scrap metal recycling station as an ordinary police officer. The owner of that scrap metal recycling station is the father of Tian, our bureau's financial department vice director.

  Apart from this, Liu Li shut down ten small workshops without licenses within a short span of one month and issued suspension notices to four semi-formal enterprises under review. Look at the work others have done and then look at what you've done, don't you feel ashamed? And many ordinary people applauded, who were they? Call them over and let me take a look."

  After a pause, Dong Hanlin calmed down his emotions and said in a gentle voice: "Next step, you put aside your current work and strive to crack the two cases of stolen cattle before the end of the year.

  Let's not care whether it's a criminal case or an administrative case for now, let's just crack the case first and then talk about it. We want to send out a signal that the theft of farm cattle is not only something that the criminal police can investigate, but also something that our security team can handle.

  I've figured it out, the bureau is now paying more attention to this type of case. After the meeting, you all go and ask the police station directors for cases, I believe those police stations must have similar cases on hand, dig them up, crack them, and let our leaders see the strength of our public security team.

  Dong Hanlin was mobilizing on this side, and Liu Li took over the third case of stolen cattle, which was reported by Daxing Town Police Station. The case had been going on for more than 20 days, but they didn't dare to report it. They investigated themselves but couldn't find any results. Seeing that Liu Li was good at cracking such cases, Li Shan handed over the case to Liu Li.

  Liu Li did not disappoint everyone's expectations. After taking over the case, he used only three days to crack down on another gang of thieves who stole cattle. After capturing the suspects in the cow theft case, he also cracked down on a gang that specialized in stealing free-range chickens from chicken farms.

  Dong Hanlin saw the case report handed over by Captain Zhang of the First Brigade in his office, and he was so angry that he threw the report book back. Then, with a face full of resentment, he stared at Captain Zhang:

  "You really did it, three days ago I told you that no matter what method you use, you must catch the thieves who specialize in stealing chickens. But I never thought that you would actually ask Liu Li from the criminal police team to help you crack this case."

  Look at the result, you spent more than a month investigating and didn't get any leads, but someone else took over for less than an hour and caught the suspect. Don't you feel ashamed when this happens?

  "Why should I let you drop the case in your hands? Go and solve those stolen cow cases first! Isn't it just to show off in front of the director? And what did you do, you ended up showing me your ass instead. Go back and write a hundred self-criticisms for me, with only one core content: why shouldn't we ask the criminal police team for help in solving the case?"

  Seeing the furious Dong Hanlin in front of him, the captain of the first team scratched his head and then carefully said: "Captain, calm down first. You'd better hurry up and call the second team captain. I estimate he's now learning from Liu Li about the experience of attacking small workshops. He just went there when I came."

  "A bunch of useless things, how did I end up taking you guys under my wing in the first place? All these years, I've wasted my time teaching you those skills... Get out!" After scolding the captain of Team A and sending him away, Dong Hanlin didn't hesitate and immediately pulled out his phone to call the captain of Team B, telling him to come over right away.

  Liu Li has been cracking cases one after another, and with the help of his special abilities, he has become a nemesis to the cattle theft gangs. After solving the case of stolen cattle reported by the Daxing Town Police Station, Liu Li also took down the cattle theft gang operating in Lanyu Town.

  After the theft of the blue jade town's farming cow gang was cracked, the directors of other township police stations also came to find Liu Li and handed over the cases of stolen farming cows in their jurisdictions to the third criminal police brigade where Liu Li was located.

  Although the two squadron leaders of the criminal police felt embarrassed about this phenomenon, they couldn't compete with Liu Li's skills in solving cases, so they could only turn a blind eye to the actions of these superiors after sighing.

  In this way, for the next month, Liu Li showed off his prowess, crossing townships to solve cases, using the advantage of his ability to possess the shadows of stolen cattle to continuously take down 9 gangs that specialized in stealing cattle. This achievement directly shocked the municipal bureau, and Liu Li was also jokingly called a professional case-solver by his colleagues.

  After the last gang of thieves stealing farm cows was cracked down, the criminal police team found that 422 cases of farm cow thefts in the county within seven years were all solved, which also means that the gangs of thieves stealing farm cows in Guhong County have been completely eradicated.

  For this result, Liu Li also felt a little relieved. Just as he was about to take a breather, a man wearing a police uniform and a third-level police supervisor shoulder badge found him. After meeting, the man claimed to be from the Tianyuan Police Station and hoped that Liu Li could help solve a case of stolen cattle.

  After listening to the policeman's words, Liu Li couldn't help but feel some doubt: "Tianyuan Police Station? I didn't know our county had this police station?"

  After hearing this, the male police officer's face turned red, and he looked at Liu Li's puzzled expression with some embarrassment, saying: "Uh... cough... our Tianyuan Police Station does not belong to Gucheng County, we... we belong to Taibai County."

  Upon hearing the male police officer's words, Liu Li only then realized that his great name had already spread far and wide, even fellow practitioners from neighboring counties came to ask for his help in solving the case.

  After secretly gloating in his heart, Liu Li looked at his ten fingers full of scratches and sighed: "It seems that I will have to take another knife" after which he nodded in agreement with the male police officer's request.

  Before leaving, Liu Lixin said: "Isn't it just another blood donation? What's the big deal? After returning, eating a few more eggs and drinking some red sugar water will make up for it." Thinking of this, he moved forward to the new crime scene again.
