National Forensic Doctor-Chapter 1202 - 1132 Xu Taining Universe

Xu Taining arrived.

Wearing a white shirt, he brought over 20 subordinates and together they arrived in Lanyue City.

Dai Mingsheng, accompanied by city government leaders, met with Xu Taining. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Both parties engaged in serious and swift negotiations.

The seriousness was in their expressions, the swiftness in their words, which made everyone break a sweat.

Until Jiang Yuan led the Jiangning Gang into the hall.

"Jiang Yuan!" Xu Taining’s voice suddenly became cheerful.

He also enjoys working on cases with Jiang Yuan. There’s a sense of security and it fully allows him to utilize his talents. Additionally, Jiang Yuan’s cases also come with abundant resources. Although Xu Taining usually manages to secure plenty of resources for his own cases, with Jiang Yuan’s participation, higher-ups are often more willing to relax their grip and even provide more resources than usual.

"Director Xu, thank you for your efforts. I hope it hasn’t disrupted your own cases." Jiang Yuan shook hands with Xu Taining.

Xu Taining laughed and said, "I’m just doing some consulting work for them; your case is the real deal."

Jiang Yuan also smiled.

Dai Mingsheng’s expression darkened.

"Right, you should be familiar with my old comrades here. Wan Wang is my chief advisor, responsible for the specific implementation work coming up. Wan Wang is also my first disciple; you might have met him when looking for Liu." Xu Taining introduced the subordinates he brought with him to Jiang Yuan. He emphasized attention to detail, with execution being the most critical factor, so he always brought his own people with him.

Liu Jinghui’s face darkened.

Wan Wang looked about ten years younger than Xu Taining, just over thirty, still very energetic. He greeted Jiang Yuan with a proper salute, then pulled over a younger person behind him and said, "This is my disciple, Xie Xiangdao, also Director Xu’s grand-disciple. This case is complex, and the search is extensive, so Xiao Xie will be handling the errands."

Xie Xiangdao was a young man with a defined jawline, and he smartly called out, "Master grandpa."

Xu Taining chuckled and then said, "During working hours, use official titles."

"Yes," Xie Xiangdao turned around and said, "Director Jiang. Who would be the best person for me to coordinate with here?"

Jiang Yuan called over Miao Ruixiang and introduced, "Miao Ruixiang is my junior."

Xie Xiangdao looked at Miao Ruixiang, whose eyes still carried a clear hint of naivety, thought for a moment, and said, "Uncle-Master grandpa!"

Miao Ruixiang laughed as if he were overjoyed.

"Let’s get familiar with each other. There’s going to be a lot to do next," Xu Taining remarked and laughed, "As expected of Ningtai Jiangyuan, haven’t seen him for a while, and it’s immediately a citywide manhunt upon meeting!"

Dai Mingsheng’s face darkened again.

The faces of the leaders from the city government grew even darker as they turned to Dai Mingsheng and asked, "Citywide! Manhunt! What does that mean?"

"It’s just a metaphor," Xu Taining coughed twice and said, "When it comes to implementation, it’s still as we just discussed..."

"What you just said, I haven’t agreed yet!" The leader frowned a bit anxiously and said, "Explain your metaphor properly, just say it in front of Jiang Yuan."

Then he looked at Jiang Yuan and, in a much softer tone, said, "Director Jiang, it’s not that we’re stingy. If you truly find it necessary, we’re willing to invest. Our ultimate goal is to solve the case; we don’t want it to end up being all show with no success. If we invest too much all at once, it would be troubling if it goes to waste."

He spoke very plainly, basically laying all his cards on the table. Of course, even if he didn’t say it, everyone understood: the bottom line is solving the case. A significant investment for a successful case is understandable, but even a small expense for a failed case is hard to swallow.

Although Jiang Yuan hadn’t declared a "must solve" motto, to others, it seemed almost the case.

Xu Taining gave Jiang Yuan a slightly sympathetic look; he particularly understood this kind of pressure. Even at twice the age, he dared not promise with absolute certainty to solve the case.

Though he tried his best to do so.

However, at this moment, Jiang Yuan, with a face seemingly untouched by setbacks, confidently said, "I trust Director Xu’s judgment. I believe the city’s investment will not be wasted."

Xu Taining hesitated for a moment and quickly added, "Our plan is designed to minimize loopholes, and the city’s investment will definitely show results."

"We’re certainly confident in you..." At this point, the city leaders began to adopt an encouragement policy, only pulling Dai Mingsheng over for a thorough discussion before they left.

After Dai Mingsheng returned, his emotions were quite stable, like an indifferent person, he said, "Everything is ready, next, let’s watch Director Xu’s performance."

Xu Taining had seen this kind of situation many times, only felt he was getting into rhythm, laughed and said, "Can’t call it a performance. I’m usually quite clumsy in my work. I don’t understand those meticulously crafted plans, those are things of the Axis powers. My idea is very simple, Lanyue City has six districts and one nearby county, we directly grid them."

On site, Xu Taining had someone unfold a map of Lanyue City, on it were drawn thirty to forty grids, clearly well prepared.

Xu Taining said, "I did this in advance; without local friends’ involvement, there must be many omissions. Our goal today is to perfect this grid, then deploy defenses according to it. The benefit of doing this is to prevent existing crime gangs from colluding. Because as far as I know, the gang members, besides the prepared firearms, also stock a large number of parts and components, preventing certain individuals from merging once the operation starts."

Dai Mingsheng’s expression finally became a bit more dynamic: "This idea is good, indeed, many members of the Heavy Load Gang possess a large number of weapon parts and explosives, we must prevent them from uniting."

Xu Taining nodded: "Secondly, Jiang Yuan and the detectives continue investigation, continue interrogation. Once we have results, specialized arrest teams will coordinate with riflemen and riot police squads to conduct raids. Infantry vehicles are too heavy... my point is too conspicuous, in a provincial capital city, try to refrain from using them."

Dai Mingsheng continually nodded, finally finding Xu Taining more agreeable, hastily said, "If we can avoid using heavy weaponry, that’s definitely a better option, but... how to control the casualty rate?"

"Use anti-material rifles with thermal imaging devices. Use stun grenades for assault. Traditional methods are sufficient. Now we’re at the closing net phase, if criminals resist, just eliminate them." Xu Taining said.

Dai Mingsheng couldn’t help but slap his forehead hard: "Got sidetracked by Ping Meng City Bureau. This is good, this is good..."

Xu Taining nodded, saying, "If you’re worried, you can authorize more explosives, blast your way through, most of the scenarios should be manageable."

Dai Mingsheng: "No problem."

Xu Taining: "Additionally, I personally like to prepare a few excavators, slightly modified, transported on small flatbed trucks. If the opponent’s firepower is too strong, raise the excavator bucket as armored cars, it should be sufficient. This way, it’s relatively low profile."

Dai Mingsheng’s eyebrows furrowed: "That works."

Xu Taining: "As for personnel, we use district police stations as nodes to mobilize key forces from each district..."

Dai Mingsheng felt Xu Taining’s vigor rising again, hurriedly said, "Arresting should mainly rely on riflemen."

"For interrogation." Xu Taining emphasized, "Our goal isn’t a large-scale arrest? In this case, interrogation must be intensified, according to a one-to-three ratio standard, if we bring back 100 people, we should prepare 300 people. Also, I suggest concentrating on arresting buyers, but this can be done later, at least dispatch communication groups to each province..."

"This... Sure." Hearing words like ’each province,’ Dai Mingsheng looked at Xu Taining, now just simply the appearance of Xu Taining.

Jiang Yuan interjected at this time: "I suggest sweeping up all the small fries too, to make it perfect."

"No problem." Xu Taining’s smile widened: "Just add more people."

"Add... how many?" Dai Mingsheng felt like a man preparing for a wedding, he knew weddings were expensive, but he didn’t know it was so costly, most importantly, he already felt on the verge of being overwhelmed, yet the budget continued to rise.

Xu Taining looked at Jiang Yuan and then at Dai Mingsheng, said, "Normal thinking, we don’t need that many people, take slightly more time, perhaps achieve the same result. But in my experience, time is money."

In the eyes of Lanyue police, Xu Taining’s smile appeared somewhat cruel: "With our current case-focused team size, there are almost 200 detectives, right? One branch office can cobble up to 200 people, not counting the riflemen, just these people alone, for eating, drinking, toileting, using vehicles, 200 yuan a day won’t cut it... these are small expenses. No other cases will be worked on? Each branch office affected long term is asking for big trouble!"

When Xu Taining said the last sentence, Dai Mingsheng’s hanging heart finally died.

Dai Mingsheng thought carefully, Xu Taining’s words were legitimate, he sighed, "Let’s not talk about these, discuss the specifics of execution."

"Right. Once the scope is opened up, there are no issues!" Xu Taining said as if giving praise, then continued, "Talking about specific planning is a bit tedious, if you don’t find it tedious, I’ll start with a few points."

Xu Taining: "First, equipment distribution, the quantity of anti-material rifles must be sufficient, I emphasize anti-material rifles, can’t simply use large-caliber sniper rifles as replacements, ammunition types must fit, also, snipers should match, quantity should be vast. Thermal imaging devices are the same, observers have to know how to use them well, these two points unmet, I suggest inviting external aid!"

Without asking if Dai Mingsheng could provide the conditions, Xu Taining continued: "Assault squad must also be well-prepared, frontline members’ protection measures must be in place, shields, helmets, bulletproof vests, ceramic plates, etc., should be prepared to level four standards. But not everyone should wear heavy bulletproof vests, if afraid of dying, don’t become a police officer!"

"Don’t worry, we’re fine." Dai Mingsheng nodded.

Xu Taining became verbose: "Stun grenades and the like must also be checked, pick ones from recent years, best to pick manufacturers as well, I’ve encountered ones thrown but didn’t explode, that’s considered good, what if they’re slow to detonate, at that point rushing in, everybody’s dizzy, shooting randomly back and forth, it’s a mess..."

Xu Taining: "...Besides equipment, logistics can’t be underestimated, food, shelter, commutes are fundamental, later I’ll have subordinates discuss based on your conditions. Let me mention one point, accommodation issue. With such a big case, so many people gathered, equipment in place, surely can’t return home, I suggest each district not only rent two hotels, but at least have the level of budget hotels..."

Jiang Yuan only cares about the case itself, finds it somewhat boring, looking around, sees the white shirts of Lanyue City Bureau as nervous as one can be.

Towards the end, Dai Mingsheng clearly had both fists clenched, starting to tremble slightly.

Jiang Yuan’s detective mind quickly switched on, made analytical judgment: Lanyue may be wealthy, Dai Mingsheng might be opulent, yet unable to deal with Xu Taining’s cosmos.
