National Forensic Doctor-Chapter 1161 - 1091: Entering the House for Capture

"Captain Jiang, there’s a step ahead. Be careful."

Captain Hao cautiously guided Jiang Yuan, even when they were near Li Yujing’s residence, he still accompanied Jiang Yuan and gave commands simultaneously.

There was no choice; the Li Yaoji murder case was too important. Whoever caught the killer could easily earn a second-class merit.

Captain Hao had also earned a second-class merit. The Criminal Police Brigade ranks high in the criminal police world, unlike the lower-ranked County-level City Criminal Police Teams below them, elite members can achieve a second-class merit.

But even so, having been a high-ranking officer for half his life, Captain Hao had only received one second-class merit. That too from supporting operations in lower districts, working himself to illness to gain the honor.

Jiang Yuan was to be granted this directly.

Now that they had actually driven out to make an arrest, Captain Hao’s mindset was completely polarized.

On one hand, such immense grace and virtue, why has he singled me out?

On the other hand, such a tempting opportunity, what have I done to deserve taking such a big bite? If he sold me out, that’s fine, but will it implicate my brothers?

With such anxious thoughts, Captain Hao directed his subordinate detectives to silently surround Li Yujing’s detached mansion.

To enhance privacy, the mansion was surrounded by vine plants, winding around columns and iron fences, along with internal trees, weaving a dense, impermeable outer layer.

Although the top surveillance was active, the accompanying technician’s jammer instantly disabled it.

This was a major distinction between the provincial capital’s Criminal Police Brigade handling cases and ordinary district or county police. Regular County Criminal Police Teams or City-level Criminal Police Brigades typically wouldn’t purchase such equipment, or if they did, wouldn’t bother using it, or only had specialists who knew how to operate it.

The provincial capital’s Criminal Police Brigade was different; those who joined either had high education, prestigious backgrounds, or both, and related technicians preferred using advanced tech gear.

"Go in." Captain Hao gave a straightforward hand signal, prompting officers equipped with a battering ram and hydraulic shears to advance and push open the mansion’s gate with a simple push.

The door wasn’t even locked.

In the courtyard, two employees were chatting. Seeing the influx of police momentarily stunned them, but they quickly shouted, "Who are you?"

"Police on duty." A frontline officer stepped forward and flashed his badge for a glimpse.

The employee didn’t even get a clear look, shouting boldly, "Even if you’re police, you can’t just..."

The frontline officer unhesitatingly pulled out a taser and zapped his chest, bringing the employee down without hesitation.

"Move." Captain Hao urged.

Their current issue was the lack of strong evidence to convict Li Yujing. The existing evidence was sufficient at the investigation level, but sending it for a trial, first and second instances, and finally death penalty review, each process increased the demands on evidence. So gathering more evidence was Captain Hao’s top priority.

Captain Hao, Hao Zhichao, felt this was the only area where he could demonstrate his value, so he prepared and arranged meticulously. Although this was a routine arrest for the Lanyue City Criminal Police Team, Captain Hao made rigorous plans and communicated them to everyone in the team.

The tasered employee was suspected of signaling a warning, and hence the frontline officer took him down without hesitation.

The main door of the standalone mansion was locked, and it was a full copper double door, one of the selling points of this villa complex. A regular battering ram had no effect. The first officer to arrive tugged and failed to open it, immediately signaling for a locksmith colleague, who crouched to try picking the lock. Meanwhile, other investigators started running around the villa, trying to enter through the side or back doors.

Hao Zhichao then signaled and called for a "ladder," whereupon four officers carried a ladder borrowed from the property management, heading straight for the villa’s second-floor balcony. Once set up, two officers held the bottom while two climbed up.

At this moment, through the upstairs window, a panic-stricken face appeared, but clearly, no one dared rush forward to push down the police ladder.

Two detectives climbed up, followed by two more, each with a gun at their waist.

Captain Hao breathed a sigh of relief and approached Jiang Yuan with a smile, "It seems we’ve got it."

Jiang Yuan didn’t need intelligence now, just emotional intelligence as he replied, "Your unit is well-trained."

"Our team often handles tough cases, encountering drug or gun-related issues frequently, so we never slack on this kind of training," Captain Hao boasted a little.

"Very good. That’s the best. If you need our help, feel free to instruct." Jiang Yuan presented himself as a modest young man.

"No need, no need, we’ll handle the dirty and tiring work," Captain Hao dared not give real orders, worried the case might have issues, he didn’t even want Jiang Yuan on-site.

Alongside Criminal Police Brigade officers kept their eyes fixed, silently nurturing thoughts.

Any detective reaching the "brigade" level was generally regarded as a leader in the field, so typically, brigades have little to do with dirty work.

However, encountering someone like Jiang Yuan, who could handle exhausting tasks, they were more than willing.

The Lanyue City Criminal Police Team from Team Three also understood their Captain, acknowledging the prominence of Jiang Yuan’s support evidenced by his configuration.

At this moment, those left beside Jiang Yuan responsible for protection included Mu Zhiyang and Wen Ming in full bulletproof armor, and Shen Yaowei, unarmored but carrying a Type 92 pistol.

Mu Zhiyang also carried a briefcase modified with a Type 79 submachine gun, its appearance suggesting it could be raised as a shield or the 79 be used as strike force at any time.

Detectives of the Criminal Police Brigade were worldly; sometimes senior officials visit, and being equipped at this level was quite acceptable.

But one couldn’t claim Jiang Yuan’s configuration unnecessary; he faced more assassination attempts than the President of the United States. Having three people and two guns wasn’t much. More importantly, someone genuinely attempted to assassinate Jiang Yuan!

Given the domestic environment, few had the stature to be targeted for assassination.

Thunk.

Inside the villa, the sound of a battering ram echoed. It was opening an interior door.

Captain Hao couldn’t resist, saying, "Captain Jiang, should I enter to command?"

"Let’s go together," Jiang Yuan suggested proactively, "The people with me can lend a hand." fгeewebnovёl.com

"The situation inside is still unclear..." Captain Hao hesitated a bit.

"Let’s go. Already as police, there’s no turning back," Jiang Yuan was keen to confirm the evidence up close.

Given the field situation, Hao Zhichao nodded resolutely and said to Mu Zhiyang, "Mu Team, you can take out the gun now."

Mu Zhiyang nodded, taking the modified Type 79 from the briefcase, slinging it over his back, while carrying the briefcase with steel plates clamped inside.

If the Type 59 tank is China’s king of heavy equipment modification, then the Type 79 is the king of light equipment modifications.

This enduring appeal of the Type 79 submachine gun is due to its excellent foundation. Numerous units and individuals have favored it, or rather, over the years, the Type 79 has seen widespread equipment, and with no replacement products visible, those in genuine need used various methods to modify the gun.

Mu Zhiyang’s weapon had been fitted with tactical rails and an adjustable stock; the entire gun’s balance had been redesigned to suit his usual single-handed shooting needs. Currently, Mu Zhiyang had no major tasks and frequently trained with tactical experts. His training in firearms and related defensive techniques far exceeded that of a typical SWAT member.

Forming a shield-like formation, the group silently entered Li Yujing’s property.

The lobby was an atrium over ten meters high, covering an area of about two hundred square meters, exuding grandeur.

"For an illegitimate child, Li Yujing’s standard of living was quite high," Hao Zhichao remarked emotionlessly, mentally scoring another point against Li Yujing’s suspicion.

Amidst the conversation, sounds of a disturbance arose from upstairs, followed by the sight of a long-haired man being escorted in handcuffs by two detectives.

"Li Yujing has been captured," reported an officer from above.

"Did you find a safe? Have him open it," Hao Zhichao hoped to recover the jewelry and other items lost on that day.

The Li Yaoji case initially reported as a burglary, but the stolen jewels and items never emerged on the market, which was quite peculiar.

Those risking burglary with various dangers, if their motive was profit, would still sell the stolen goods despite the high risk due to the greater crisis of being cash-strapped.

Furthermore, the missing jewels from Li Yaoji were invaluable, including a Patek Philippe super complication model, a famous designer-crafted emerald T-square diamond bracelet, pure imperial green pendant, and wild sinking incense prayer beads. It’s improbable that an imprudent spendthrift, even one with strong resolve, would discard such items.

"I want a lawyer. I won’t open the safe without a lawyer present," Li Yujing lifted his head defiantly, without much nervousness, seizing the opportunity to make a demand.
