If you don't agree, do it! Roll up your sleeves, empty your property and go back to the country

When Bai Nuo and his companions drove along the small ditch and found the sewer exit, it was getting dark. Fortunately, there were always a lot of things prepared in the Public Security Bureau's car. There was also a special box for things in the trunk of Bai Nuo's car, which contained flashlights, raincoats, and rain boots.

Several people carefully observed their surroundings with flashlights, and finally all squatted in front of the sewer exit.

"Captain, look carefully to see if there is a trace underwater."

The ditch outside the sewer outlet was full of silt and emitted a foul fishy smell. Bai Nuo felt that the smell was stinging his eyes, so he went back to the car to get a few masks and gave one to each person.

Bai Nuo usually keeps some of these things in his car or in his small bag, as they don't take up much space and may be used frequently, so that he doesn't have to take them out of the space when he needs them.

"You've prepared quite a bit!" Qiu Jun took the mask and put it on, looking at Bai Nuo with emotion, "I'll apply for a batch of common supplies for you later, and these masks will be reimbursed for you then."

Most of the masks nowadays are made of cotton and gauze, and are basically not available for sale outside. You can only apply to buy them at institutions such as hospitals and clinics, and you also need a note from your unit, otherwise you can’t buy them at all.

Qiu Jun no longer found it strange to see the things in Bai Nuo's hands. He even had guards around him, but it was difficult for him to apply for a few masks. However, he still had to reimburse the girl. They were such a large criminal investigation team, they couldn't take advantage of the little girl.

Bai Nuo smiled and nodded: "Okay, no rush."

Yan Qingyun straightened up, supporting his aching waist with both hands, turned his head to look at the captain and Bai Nuo, frowned, sighed and said: "Captain, Bai Ke, this sewer is directly connected to the sewer outlets of several nearby counties and towns. If we check them one by one, we don't have enough manpower.

The technical, security, and political work teams within the bureau have all been temporarily transferred here to help. If we need more, we'll have to go back to the office. The physical fitness of everyone there isn't good enough. If we have to deal with one case, I think the entire office will collapse."

Their Public Security Bureau often issues some phased training tasks, and people from similar security groups, criminal investigation departments, technical groups, and forensic departments will participate. After all, people who do these jobs cannot keep up with the physical strength.

The technical team includes the Forensic Department, the Trace Department, and the Inspection Department. After Bai Nuo came, the director opened a Physical Evidence Identification Department in the branch based on the department classification of the General Administration. Currently, Bai Nuo is the only one in the department.

The entire technical team is classified as clerical, but when there is work, they are often busy for more than ten hours without stopping. The people in these two departments are all top students in the bureau and are the treasures of the entire branch. The director pays close attention to their physical condition.

Not to mention the people in the Criminal Investigation Brigade and the Public Security Group. Being able to fight and resist is a necessary factor, but the people in the office are real civilians. In Yan Qingyun's opinion, the people in the office are all weak nerds who can't handle their high-intensity work.

"Where are our people located now?"

Bai Nuo frowned slightly and looked at Yan Qingyun. There were not many people in their branch, but it was pretty good compared to the other branches. It couldn't be compared with the headquarters, but seeing that the director was successful half of the time in recruiting talents, it was enough to prove the status of their branch.

But when it comes to big cases like this that require a wide net, there aren't enough people to handle them. There's no other way. This is the current state of affairs. The two police academies that are still open are junior colleges. Few people can get in, and even fewer get assigned. The rest are recommended, and their chief generally won't accept them. In his own words, he particularly disdains people with connections but no real skills.

"There have been thirteen reported cases of missing children so far, all from small towns and production teams within our branch's jurisdiction. Most of the people in the bureau have gone to the local area to assist with the local police station's investigation. The team leader notified them this morning to bring back all the witnesses for a unified portrait. They probably won't be back until tomorrow."

There are some small county towns nearby with small areas and small populations. Most of them have only one or two police stations, which are under the jurisdiction of several public security bureaus in Beijing.

I don’t know if those human traffickers have a grudge against their branch. These dozen missing children are under the jurisdiction of their branch, and now they are short of manpower all of a sudden.

"It's the end of the year now, and all the branches are busy. The headquarters is even busier. I heard that the brothers from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of our neighboring branch haven't been home for a month. They often travel to various counties and production teams. They probably won't lend us people." Yan Qingyun curled his lips, looking helpless.

He has a cheerful and outgoing personality, and is a top student who graduated from a junior college in the Public Security Academy. He has alumni in several police stations, and they keep in touch frequently when he has nothing to do, so he knows a lot of information.

"Forget it, it's better to rely on yourself than on others." Qiu Jun didn't expect to be able to borrow people by the end of the year. He was lucky that other branches didn't ask them for help. He glanced at his watch, brows furrowed. "Well, let's drive to Pingchang County overnight. It's a large county with an armed team. They're working with the local police station to help investigate. As for the other smaller counties, after we get to Pingchang, we'll call their local police stations and ask them to send people to investigate, especially the situation in the sewers."

"Yes!"

A few people obeyed the orders and turned around to pack their things and get in the car.

It took about two hours to drive from their place to Pingchang County. It was almost ten o'clock when they arrived. They found a guesthouse closest to the police station and booked a few rooms. Qiu Jun asked the two female comrades, Bai Nuo and Chen Hui, to rest early, and left the two male comrades from the security team in the room next door to avoid any accidents in the middle of the night.

Qiu Jun himself took two team members, Yan Qingyun and Ma Dongliang, to the nearby police station.

After Bai Nuo and Chen Hui entered the room of the guesthouse, Chen Hui stepped in first, put her hand on the pistol on her waist, held the gun in one hand, checked it up and down, and even pushed the window frame hard, for fear of any potential danger.

Bai Nuo leaned against the wall, looking at the cautious Chen Hui with a smile, and accepted it happily without refusing.

After confirming that there was no problem, Chen Hui nodded to Bai Nuo: "Comrade Bai, it's okay, but Comrade Bai should still check his gun carefully. When you sleep, be sure to put the gun where you can easily reach it.

"Okay, don't worry. This is not my first business trip. I will pay attention to all these." Bai Nuo nodded with a smile, then walked to the bed and sat down.

This is a double room with a single bed on each side of the window. Overall, it is very shabby, but still clean. There is no need to be so particular when on a business trip. They are soldiers and often sleep in the mountains when they go out to meet each other. In this regard, the conditions for the public security business trips are much better than theirs.

But Chen Hui didn't know that Bai Nuo had this identity. She always felt that this place was unfair to their military researchers. After checking her gun, she quickly got a basin of water and wiped it inside and out. Finally, she took a blanket from the car and spread it on Bai Nuo.

The two men, who had not slept for more than ten hours, ate some cakes they brought with them after cleaning up, washed up briefly, and then lay down on the bed with their clothes on, with one hand always on the edge of the pillow and his fingertips against the gun handle.

No one dared to sleep soundly that night. They got up early in the morning, ate a few bites, and rushed to the police station for a meeting.
