"Wei Zhenguo is a very flexible person.

At least, in Mu Zhiyang's eyes, his master is very flexible. He knows well the survival logic of the lower levels of society, and is good at dealing with all kinds of people. He not only uses small thieves as informants to solve larger cases, but also occasionally arrests a few small thieves to increase his case-solving record.

But this stakeout and tracking had made Mu Zhiyang seriously doubt his life.

For three days straight, Mu Zhiyang only rested for one night in between, spending the rest of his time in the car. By the end, he didn't even need to look down when using his pulse bottle.

What made Mu Zhiyang even more bitter was that his master Wei Zhenguo had been staking out for even longer, sleeping less in the car, and even urinating more accurately.

Just when Mu Zhiyang thought he couldn't take it anymore, the car door suddenly opened.

"Wei Team." Jiang Yuan greeted with a smile as he squeezed into the back seat.

"How did you find us?" Mu Zhiyang looked at Jiang Yuan in disbelief.

In the Criminal Investigation Brigade, ordinary detectives like him were like mules, only burying their heads and working hard. Detectives with more seniority were like oxen, burying their heads and working hard, but also receiving some care. As for ordinary technicians, they were like donkeys, unable to do much and forced to work hard.

However, Jiang Yuan was different. With his experience in solving homicide cases and his outstanding contributions to solving long-standing cases, he was at least a horse, capable of hard work and not willing to let it go to waste.

So why did Jiang Yuan come to the stakeout site?

"I asked Wei Team and heard that you were short-staffed, so I came to help." Jiang Yuan said with a shrug.

"I don't have anything else to do anyway." Jiang Yuan sniffed and said, "The air quality in this car is not good."

"Roll down the right window, it's a little better." Wei Zhenguo offered a pitiful solution.

"It's okay, I'll get used to it later." Jiang Yuan wrinkled his brow, not wanting to dwell on the smell.

With Jiang Yuan's help, Mu Zhiyang and Wei Zhenguo were able to rest in the car for a while. By evening, they accompanied Tan Yong to get off work and left under cover of darkness, handing over the stakeout work to two other detectives from the sixth team.

The next day was another day of stakeouts.

Wei Zhenguo didn't care before, but now he felt a little embarrassed in front of Jiang Yuan. "The stupid way is like this, it wastes time and wears people out. If you're tired, go to a hotel and rest for a night..."

"It's okay. I'm not at the point of giving up yet." Although Jiang Yuan was also tired, compared to Wei Zhenguo and Mu Zhiyang who had been watching for several days, he was still relatively relaxed. Moreover, Jiang Yuan's responsibility was not heavy, only serving as a helper.

Even so, Wei Zhenguo was quite moved. He had been a big animal for so long, and now he wanted to train his disciple, but he didn't expect Jiang Yuan to be so proactive.

Buzz buzz buzz...

The vibration of his phone woke Wei Zhenguo up.

"Huang Team?" Wei Zhenguo answered the phone without even saying hello.

"Is Jiang Yuan with you?" Huang Qiangming asked directly.

"Yes, he's with me." Wei Zhenguo answered quickly.

"Is he safe?"

"He's safe. We're on a stakeout."

"Are you pursuing the Ding Lan missing case?" Huang Qiangming continued to ask."Yes." Wei Zhenguo couldn't be bothered to guess how Huang Qiangming got the news. He himself took the confidentiality of the case seriously, but it was still too difficult to keep it secret from the captain of the criminal police.

"What's the progress?"

Wei Zhenguo pondered his tone and said, "We plan to monitor the suspect for a period of time and see if we can find any strong evidence..."

Huang Qiangming sighed at the word "monitor" and interrupted Wei Zhenguo, asking, "How much longer?"

"Well...we're not very sure right now..."

"You're going to monitor for another week? Do you want Jiang Yuan to monitor with you for another week?" Huang Qiangming's anger rose. "How many fingerprints can Jiang Yuan collect in a week? You're wasting police resources!"

Detectives monitor cases for a day or night, for ten days or half a month, and there are even cases where they monitor for longer but can't solve the case. Huang Qiangming usually doesn't schedule the time of ordinary police officers too tightly.

However, wasting Jiang Yuan's time was obviously something Huang Qiangming couldn't tolerate.

Keeping Jiang Yuan in the office and not having him solve any major cases, but rather doing some small series of cases, would still be a real increase in the quantity and quality of solved cases.

Outsiders think that solving cases is easy for detectives, but in reality, a team of more than ten detectives can solve about 100 cases a year, even with a full workload. Each person solves an average of 10 cases, including series cases and cases that come to them.

In comparison, Jiang Yuan's solved cases are of much higher quality, and with evidence such as fingerprints, the investigation is easier and more solid.

In Huang Qiangming's view, having Jiang Yuan monitor the missing case with Wei Zhenguo was like taking a good horse embryo and having an old ox plow the field.

Wei Zhenguo was also wronged and said softly, "I told Jiang Yuan to go back, but he didn't want to..."

"Jiang Yuan is a young man, it's not strange for him to be curious about police work. Occasionally letting him experience various police activities is also helpful for his development, but that's not a reason for you to take him to monitor for a week." Huang Qiangming suppressed his anger but changed his tone. "Alright, do you have any way to end this as soon as possible?"

He didn't want to force Jiang Yuan to come back.

Nowadays, young people are independent and proud, and there are stories of resigning and purifying the workplace at every turn. On the other hand, Wei Zhenguo couldn't just drag a group of people to the provincial capital to investigate cases.

Therefore, Huang Qiangming's first consideration was still to let Wei Zhenguo end the case perfectly.

Wei Zhenguo was suddenly energized, this was his chance to make a request.

Wei Zhenguo's thoughts turned slightly in his mind and he said, "Captain Huang, this suspect Tan Yong is a subsidiary construction company of Luqiao Group. If you have a way to send him on a business trip for a slightly longer period of time, like half a month, and then have the company arrange for someone to replace his work, I think the suspect may reveal his true colors."

This method had long been Wei Zhenguo's backup plan, but he didn't have the ability to mobilize Luqiao Group.

Of course, Huang Qiangming didn't have the qualification to mobilize Luqiao Group either. Large companies in the provincial capital wouldn't listen to the orders of a county-level criminal police captain.

However, for the sake of work, Huang Qiangming still had a way to ask for help and make such adjustments.

The power of the police, as long as it is used properly, is both deep and wide.

For companies like construction companies, they are also easily influenced."I got it. You try to get a result within a few days. Also, protect Jiang Yuan. Especially during the arrest, let me know in advance, and I'll contact a few more people to help." Huang Qiangming hung up the phone without giving Wei Zhenguo any room for bargaining.

Wei Zhenguo smirked and didn't care.

He had to listen to Huang Qiangming, but he didn't really care about his attitude. He was already an old criminal investigator. With his age, qualifications, and education, he was like a sergeant in the army, moving up one level at a time. But that was all it was. He couldn't even be promoted to a fourth-level sergeant, let alone an officer.

"Okay, let's observe for another day or two. We should have a result soon." Wei Zhenguo put away his phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why don't we stop waiting?" Mu Zhiyang didn't understand.

"Well, if Tan Yong has a problem, the most likely place he would set up a detention point is near his home or workplace. We'll let him go on a business trip and arrange for someone to cover his work for a few days. We should be able to see something." Wei Zhenguo said with a smile, "You wanted a thunderbolt, didn't you? Here it is."

"This...this is far from the thunderbolt I was thinking of." Mu Zhiyang muttered and shook his head. "So, we've been waiting for nothing these past few days?"

"Do you think this is planting crops? Do you get crops just by planting them? This is the cost of trial and error."

Mu Zhiyang's tired eyes looked three years older. "Okay, so we've been trial and erroring for these past few days?"

Wei Zhenguo said frankly, "We are the cost of trial and error."

His emphasis was on the cost.
