Chapter 58 - Experts from the Capital (1/2)

When Qin Haodong came to the Criminal Police Unit, Nalan Wuxia was sitting in her office anxiously waiting for him. Beside her was w.a.n.g Jianfeng, the captain of the Criminal Police Unit.

Seeing Qin Haodong enter the door, Nalan Wuxia said happily, “Doctor Qin, you finally come!”

w.a.n.g Jianfeng said, “Little Qin, I’m sorry we have to trouble you again, but this case is of great importance. We really have no better way, otherwise we won’t call you here.”

“Captain w.a.n.g, don’t stand on ceremony. I can help you with anything.”

Then Qin Haodong sat down beside Nalan Wuxia.

w.a.n.g Jianfeng said, “Captain Nalan, please tell Doctor Qin about the case.”

“We have news from Burma’s informer that there was a b.u.mper harvest of opium poppy in the Golden Triangle area this year, an increase of 30% compared with ordinary year, which directly leads to the difficulty of drug control in Jiangnan Province and even in the whole country.

According to internal information, the drug traffickers in the Golden Triangle area were ready to sell all the increased drugs to our country because of the large population, the rapid economic development and the balloon of people’s income in our country.

In order to cut off the drug trade in the Golden Triangle area and fight the anti-drug war in an all-round way, the police department had set up a Special Task Force.

Qin Haodong asked, “What does this have to do with Jiangnan?”

“According to the latest reports, Burma’s drug traffickers have sent hatchet men to our country with a large number of drugs to try out ways to deliver drugs, and this hatchet man chose Jiangnan City as his target,” Nalan Wuxia said.

Qin Haodong nodded inwardly. The police of Huaxia employed huge force in fighting against drug trafficking. It seemed that the spies had entered the top level of drug traffickers since they could get such accurate information.

“According to the information obtained, we have controlled the suspect and brought him to the Criminal Force Unit. But after careful search, even using anti-drug dogs, we have not found where the drugs are.

“Later, we conducted a shock interrogation on the suspect, but the effect was very unsatisfactory. Now, 19 hours have pa.s.sed and nothing has been achieved.”

w.a.n.g Jianfeng said, “The suspect is a young man of about 30 years old, taking a child who has just reached the age of one, which brings great difficulties to our interrogation.

“Now the problem is, if we can’t find any strong evidence in 24 hours, we’ll have to let him go.

“The release of the suspect will show that our Jiangnan police are powerless to deal with the latest drug delivery in Myanmar, and that a large number of drugs will probably flow into Jiangnan.

“In this case, we think of Doctor Qin. We want you to use hypnosis to help us interrogate the suspect.”

Nalan Wuxia said, “This case has been reported to the Chinese Police Department, which attaches great importance to it. Fang Chuanxiong, the head of the Special Task Force, has taken two interrogation experts on the way to Jiangnan.

“However, our Jiangnan police will feel shame if depending on the police department to solve the case. So we want to solve the case quickly before the two experts arrive. We need your help.”

Qin Haodong said casually, “No problem. It’s only a few minutes to interrogate a little hatchet man…”

But just then, the door opened with a middle-aged police officer coming in from outside. Behind him were two men in their fifties. Although they looked gentle, their pride could hardly be concealed.

After a slight pause, w.a.n.g Jianfeng immediately welcomed him and said, “Leader Fang, you are so quick!”

Nalan Wuxia also stood up, and she whispered in Qin Haodong’s ear, “This is Fang Chuanxiong, the head of the Special Task Force. Those two people should be interrogation experts. I didn’t expect them to come so soon.”

After some greetings, Fang Chuanxiong sat down and said, “Captain w.a.n.g, how is the case going?”

w.a.n.g Jianfeng said with some embarra.s.sment, “There has been no progress, no drugs found, and the suspect kept his mouth shut, so far there is no breakthrough.”

Fang Chuanxiong frowned, he looked at his watch and said, “The case has pa.s.sed for 19 hours. How come there is no result at all? What’s wrong with your investigation work?”

w.a.n.g Jianfeng’s cheeks were flushed but he had nothing to say. As the saying went, Officials one rank superior crushed the inferior. Moreover, he was more than one rank inferior to Fang Chuanxiong who was one rank higher than the chief of the Public Security Bureau in Jiangnan City.

And it was true that he failed to solve the case quickly, so he could only listen to what Fang Chuanxiong said.

At this time, a tall and thin expert with gla.s.ses said, “Captain Fang, they are not to blame. Jiangnan is a small place. The police are inexperienced and incompetent in handling cases. It’s normal that they can’t solve such big cases.”

This sounded like a defense for w.a.n.g Jianfeng, but in fact, it belittled the ability of the whole Jiangnan police to handle cases.

Nalan Wuxia said with a sunken face, “This gentleman, please respect our Jiangnan police.”

The other pudgy expert grinned coldly and said, “If you want to be respected, you have to have that ability. If you have the ability, you don’t have to invite us here.”

Nalan Wuxia said angrily, “Without you, we Jiangnan police can solve the case as well, and no one invited you to come!”

The pudgy expert was obviously arrogant and used to be wors.h.i.+pped everywhere like the moon. Now a little policewoman didn’t give him face like that. He immediately got angry. “Since you have the ability, why haven’t you got the result yet?”

“That’s because I just arrived. If I came early, the case would have been solved!”

Qin Haodong couldn’t bear to see these two self-righteous guys who prided themselves on being a veteran. He stood up to speak for Nalan Wuxia.

“Who are you?”

The pudgy expert looked at Qin Haodong and asked.

Seeing them falling into a quarrel, w.a.n.g Jianfeng hastily explained, “This is Doctor Qin, Qin Haodong, who was invited by our Criminal Police Unit to help us solve this case.”
