I'm not a genius detective

Chapter 65 Assisting in the Arrest
The branch office gave Han Ling a few days to prepare. She was to report to the Criminal Investigation Brigade next Monday and go directly to the Major Crimes Squad.

In the future, Fangzhou will be his boss.

His colleagues all knew that Han Ling was leaving. They were happy for him, but also reluctant to see him go. They would never see that young man who lived in the dormitory every day again.

Han Ling never refused when they asked to switch shifts, and sometimes she didn't even ask for make-up shifts, for which they were very grateful.

He's a great colleague and a good friend. Plus, he's an excellent marksman and a crack investigator—you'd be hard-pressed to find someone like him.

Sister Zhang finally gave in and stopped trying to find Han Ling a partner. She probably felt that those girls weren't good enough for him, so she gave up. Han Ling's stage wasn't at the Wanglou Police Station.

Saturday afternoon.

Han Ling was off duty and was fast asleep on his bed in the dormitory when the noise around him woke him up.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, got up, went to the door, and looked outside.

Two police cars were parked there. Tao Guowei and other leaders shook hands with the visitors, and both sides went into the police station.

Han Ling glanced at the two cars, which had normal white and blue paint with the word "Police" printed on them in both Chinese and English. It was impossible to tell whether they came from the branch office or the city bureau.

Once awake, Han Ling couldn't fall back asleep, so she washed her face and went to the police reception hall.

"Who's here?" Han Ling asked.

My colleague looked up: "Hey? You're awake? Team Leader Zhu said he'd wake you up when you woke up, so hurry up and go to the meeting room."

The people who came were from the Economic Crime Investigation Division; it seems they wanted our assistance in the arrest.

Han Ling said "Oh" and walked towards the conference room.

Coordinating arrest operations is not uncommon in police stations, which have a core advantage: they are familiar with the people, the place, and the situation.

The fact that the Economic Crime Investigation Division asked Wanglou Police Station to assist in the arrest indicates that the suspect was operating within the jurisdiction of Wanglou Police Station. Their area of ​​expertise covers the entire city, so it's impossible for them to be familiar with every place.

This is the role of the police station: to increase the success rate of arrests, minimize casualties, and most importantly, to avoid causing too much impact on the surrounding residents.

Upon arriving at the conference room, Han Ling casually found a place to sit down.

The leader from the Economic Crime Investigation Detachment who came this time was the deputy captain of the First Investigation Brigade. He was a man in his thirties, a decisive and efficient person. Without any pleasantries, he explained the situation in just a few words.

There were three people to be arrested, all of whom lived in Fuyang Community, which is under the jurisdiction of Wanglou Police Station.

The charge is suspected of fundraising fraud, and the amount involved is particularly large.

After investigation and assessment, the Economic Crime Investigation Division determined that the risk level was not high, so it did not request special police support. This time, it mainly relied on the strength of the Economic Crime Investigation Division itself and the assistance of the local police station.

The brigade will send twelve people, and the police station will coordinate six people. Excluding those who are on surveillance, on average, four police officers will be responsible for one suspect, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

When arresting people, if conditions are met and preparations are sufficient, absolute force should be used to suppress them and prevent unexpected situations.

The reason they didn't arrest them directly was because the Economic Crime Investigation Division was still investigating and monitoring the situation. The three suspects were active alone during the day, and their schedules were unpredictable. If they were to arrest one of them rashly, the other two might escape.

As of today, it has been confirmed that the three individuals reside in the Fuyang community, and we can now close the net.

The safest approach is to make the arrest in the early morning; it's a sure-fire way to succeed.

Asking the local police station to assist in the arrest was also to minimize the risk and take into account the impact on the surrounding residents.

"Uh-huh……"

Director Tao Guowei kept nodding, without asking about the specifics of the case; all they needed to know was who to arrest.

Gender, age, height, weight, and detailed address.

"Chief Tao, what's the situation in Fuyang Community?" the deputy captain of the investigation team asked politely.

Tao Guowei turned his head and gestured to his subordinate in the community policing department to answer. The latter was a veteran police officer who was skilled in his work and immediately said, "Fuyang Community is very old. Currently, it has a resident population of 1200, of which 300 are migrant workers."

There are 32 residential buildings, and every household has a balcony, but no back doors. We registered resident information three months ago; should we check it?

The deputy captain shook his head: "These three guys are very vigilant and their residences are usually mobile. They have only been active in the Fuyang community for the past month."

We've already located the position; we don't need to check anymore.

At 3:00 AM, the arrest operation will commence. Officer Tao, your men will be responsible for perimeter security and containment. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, ensure the residents are calmed and the scene is under control.

The local police officers are quite experienced in calming down residents and are familiar with the community.

Tao Guowei nodded: "Okay, all the team leaders and captains in our institute are here. Captain Wu can make his own selections."

Captain Wu glanced at them and said, "Two people from the criminal investigation team and four from the community policing team. Pick the experienced ones."

Tao Guowei: "No problem, when do we meet?"

Team Leader Wu checked the time and said, "We'll assemble at midnight to begin deployment. We'll keep in touch by phone."

Tao Guowei: "Okay."

After the Economic Crime Investigation Team left, Tao Guowei held another short meeting and finally determined the personnel to participate in the arrest operation that night.

The community policing was personally overseen by the captain, who also selected three skilled officers. The criminal investigation team was personally led by Zhu Yue, along with Han Ling.

At this moment, no one regarded Han Ling as a rookie police officer anymore; his abilities had already surpassed those of everyone in the criminal investigation team.

At 11 p.m., Zhu Yue brought Han Ling to the police equipment room to collect his gun. This was the first time Han Ling had carried a gun on a mission since becoming a police officer.

Collect the bullets first, then the gun.

The Type 05 police revolver has low power, slow reloading speed, and poor sustained firepower.

Holding this pistol, Han Ling felt like he was holding an antique.

Last year, a colleague told me an interesting story: a police officer from another police station in a different jurisdiction fired forty bullets with this gun but still failed to kill a mad bull.

The cow was even able to move freely, and almost knocked the policeman flying.

"Load rubber bullets first, then use live ammunition if needed," Zhu Yue said from the side. "Try not to fire live ammunition... But your marksmanship is ridiculously accurate, so decide for yourself based on the situation. Remember, whatever you do, don't lose it, the consequences will be very serious."

Police officers who lose their guns will be severely punished. If the gun is fired outside and causes consequences, they will be dismissed immediately and may even face criminal charges.

Han Ling played with the spinning wheel and nodded.

At 11:30, six people arrived at Fuyang Community in an unmarked ordinary vehicle. Police officers from the Economic Crime Investigation Detachment quickly arrived as well. The captain of the First Investigation Brigade of the Economic Crime Investigation Detachment was in charge of the arrest operation.

The deputy captain who was there during the day was also there.

Eighteen people gathered.

Han Ling spotted an acquaintance in the crowd, and the other person also spotted him.

"Why send two women? To gain merit and prestige?" Han Ling thought to himself.

He is not sexist; objectively speaking, men are far superior to women in terms of physical strength, which is a biological fact.

Unless a woman has received professional training, she cannot deal with men of the same level; Xu Qinghe is an extremely rare exception.

Men have their strengths, and women have theirs. When investigating economic crimes, female police officers are indeed more meticulous and professional when faced with massive amounts of documents and data.

However... when it comes to making arrests, it's still more reliable to have male police officers do it.

That said, there are indeed many female police officers in the Economic Investigation Detachment of the Qingchang City Public Security Bureau, accounting for 30% of the total, and even the detachment leader is a woman, proving that women are just as capable as men.

Lin Rong nodded slightly to Han Ling as a greeting, and the latter couldn't pretend not to see it, so he nodded back in response.
