National Forensic Doctor-Chapter 1203 - 1133 Clearing

"It has begun."

Dai Mingsheng stood in the command center of the Lanyue City Bureau, his heart surging, like a groom at a ceremony, yet also like a general... with his adjutant beside him.

The general was the director of the Lanyue City Bureau, the man who truly signed off on the budget and was responsible for Xu Taining.

At this moment, Dai Mingsheng had no qualification to speak, standing silently beside the director, whispering quietly, ready to respond to any inquiries from the leadership.

Jiang Yuan and Xu Taining sat on either side of the director, unnecessarily but necessarily watching the screens in the command center.

In the main central image, a carefully selected angle by the frontline assault team was displayed, with extremely high clarity, not simply captured by a law enforcement recorder, but completed by a professional photographer with broadcasting from the technical investigation vehicle behind.

The Technical Investigation had now fully taken over the on-site phone and mobile signals, a group of people squeezed into an MPV that did not allow others inside, making the atmosphere at the scene heavy and formal.

Wu Junhao was also crouching at the scene, holding his Type 09 shotgun. The tungsten carbide shot bullet shotgun could kill through walls, even more powerful than a sniper rifle.

The shotgun Wu Junhao was holding was also brought from Ningtai County. This was relatively rare in normal police exchanges, but due to Jiang Yuan’s influence, the Lanyue City Bureau agreed to it.

After all, they had agreed to let Wu Junhao participate in the capture operation in Lanyue City, so what else could they not agree to?

Wu Junhao was eager and ambitious, as a middle-aged deputy section chief, he was keen on progress, even though he had only been making progress for just half a year.

"It has begun." The assistant, touching his bald head, murmured softly.

"Mm." Wu Junhao nodded. He was uncertain whether he would get a chance to perform, subconsciously turning his head to look at the tall building on the right.

This criminal gang, named Heavy Load, had no counter-sniper experience. The largest stronghold was set in an office building at the city center, convenient for transportation and surrounded by large glass windows, covering the interior when drawn but offering no bullet resistance. Unlike old-fashioned tower buildings, at least the load-bearing walls could act as cover for a while.

Of course, urban buildings in the country were almost defenseless against sniper rifles. If members of this criminal gang were to emerge, they might notice the sniper points in the future, or even pay attention to assault points, technical investigations, and thermal imaging... if they learned well enough, they might get into The Great Learning.

"Assault team ready!" A man in a white shirt came to deliver orders, pressing Wu Junhao’s shoulder, saying, "You are the second wave, ready to receive commands at any moment."

He didn’t leave after speaking, staying beside Wu Junhao.

Wu Junhao chuckled, glanced at him, and said, "As the backup team, huh?"

"No offense intended, for the first wave of attack, we hope to coordinate with a more skilled team first." The man in a white shirt patted Wu Junhao, and smiled: "Honestly, with Captain Jiang’s assignments, how could we dare to change them easily."

Wu Junhao gave him a bald man’s smile and replied, "We will definitely fully cooperate."

"That’s good then." The man in the white shirt squatted beside, smiling: "Next, let’s watch the performance of our Special Police Team One."

The plan proposed by Xu Taining, after being analyzed and absorbed by the Lanyue City Bureau, formed into three sets of plans. Snipers combined with assault teams were the most basic combination, followed by a dedicated breaching team.

At this time, accompanying the entry of Special Police Team One, they had the engineering unit they borrowed.

According to earlier planning, if the first wave of attack was unsuccessful, the engineering unit would immediately enter from next door and below, blowing open the adjacent wall for a direct assault. Upon encountering firm resistance, they would decisively blow up the resisting floor from below, sweeping all personnel away.

The atmosphere on-site was solemn yet lively.

Although the Heavy Load gang were arms dealers, their combat capabilities were not particularly strong; at least, from a military standpoint, they posed no formal threat.

For the police, the gang did not have hostages, nor were there any particularly important figures, so the assault itself wasn’t considered very challenging.

However, casualties were still possible.

Bang!

A sudden sound echoed within the buildings with no warning.

Wu Junhao turned his head at once, seeing the roadblock set up at the entrance, with the crowd blocked outside the cordon still curiously peering in. Their expressions clearly indicated they did not realize the sound was a gunshot.

Bang!

Another muffled sound, in Wu Junhao’s mind, he could already imagine the scene of two criminals falling.

At this moment, the first wave of the assault team should be bursting through the door, possibly already firing shots.

Wu Junhao couldn’t help but lick his dry lips. Assaults protected by snipers, even with just a handgun in hand, must be quite intense.

He inclined his ear to listen but couldn’t hear any noise from inside, perhaps because the attack was going smoothly, or perhaps the gunfire inside couldn’t travel far.

Surrounding was a bustling commercial center. Just walking a little farther, no one was concerned about the happenings here; everyone lived their lives, minding their own business. Even if an arms dealer lived next to them, they only cared about whether he was noisy.

Bang!

In the Lanyue City Bureau’s command center, the excellent sound system made the video sent back by the cameraman feel immersive.

Of course, no one on-site could say this aloud.

Even the director had to watch the live feed and emphasize: "Safety first."

"Old Jiang is commanding the field, he is experienced," Dai Mingsheng whispered to the director. As an experienced captain of the Criminal Police Brigade, he knew the police team better than the director.

The director could only nod.

What he saw were the backs of the people in front, unclear of the on-site situation, only witnessing the shoulders in the front row twitching and hearing the delayed gunshots.

Thud thud thud...

The 79 assault rifle started firing inside the room, the sound slightly muffled.

Everyone at the command center was inevitably tense at this moment.

No matter how well planned, once on site, there will always be unexpected situations. To score 100 points, you need to have 120 points worth of capability.

"Keep moving forward, second team, control the left wing!"

The voice of the on-site commander came through, a very steady command.

In the command center, tens of miles away, everyone’s emotions were instantly calmed.

On the screen, the police officers in bulletproof vests were moving even faster.

Instead, the photographer’s gentle breathing sounded a bit abrupt in the suddenly quiet room.

Bang, bang, bang...

Clearly not the sound of the 79 assault rifle, it suddenly rang out, but before others could get tense, the gunshots stopped, followed by the sound of a body falling.

"Sniper No. 3 hit! No need for a follow-up shot."

In the command center, a voice came through, unsure if it was the sniper or the observer.

The police team immediately sprang into action.

Passing by a house, the camera turned slightly, revealing a body split in half, lying behind a low wall, with all the blood drained.

"We surrender!" Someone inside the room shouted loudly.

Old Jiang’s voice didn’t change at all, he just said, "Throw out the guns."

Thud.

Thud, thud.

Three rifles were thrown out in succession, one of them being an American M4, desert camo, slightly worn.

"Handguns. Explosives, throw them all out. Don’t make me repeat myself." Old Jiang didn’t relax at all.

Thud, thud...

Inside, several items were thrown out in one go, only one was a handgun, the rest were magazines and grenades.

Several people in the command center couldn’t help but shrink their necks.

"Nothing else!" Someone inside shouted.

"Put your hands up, walk out slowly, don’t make any sudden moves, or you’ll be sniped to death. Don’t blame me." Old Jiang spoke a bit slow and verbose, but still emphasized, "Walk slowly, take small steps, if you don’t follow orders, I’ll shoot immediately!"

The entire raid process, the arrest phase, was actually the most nerve-wracking for Old Jiang.

Three men and one woman, hands raised high, slowly walked out.

Old Jiang kept directing them until they were outside the corridor, then cuffed all four.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no one else visible through the thermal imaging.

But Old Jiang still led a team to sweep again, then allowed the Criminal Science team to enter and collect evidence.

In the subsequent submissions for prosecution, these items were indispensable.

Old Jiang personally escorted the vehicle, sending each of them onto the prison transport.

A hearse carrying the bodies accompanied them, long prepared.

The expressions of the last survivors didn’t look good. Old Jiang was used to this.

After all, for these few individuals, beginning today, their lives took a dramatic turn, or to put it bluntly, their familiar lives were essentially over.

"How did you find us?" One of the prisoners was the first to speak in the car.

Old Jiang looked over, seeing it was the oldest among the captured, he replied, "What, you think what you’ve done was hidden from everyone?"

The other stared at Old Jiang, then after a while said, "You weren’t led here by our business deals, we are isolated from the sales end."

Old Jiang chuckled, as if there’s any real isolation nowadays.

The other fell silent too, but only for a few seconds before speaking again, "I want to name some people."

"Hmm?" Old Jiang looked up again, "You want to report others to earn merits?"

"Is that not possible?"

"Of course it is. But it has to be crime details and criminals we haven’t caught yet," Old Jiang said, then inwardly laughed, thinking, still asking how we found you!
