Chapter 83: The Sculptor’s Shared Experience – Never Actively Seek Your Prey!

The Hundred-Day Cold Case Crackdown Operation.

This is an official document issued by the Ministry of Public Security, which clearly shows the state’s seriousness regarding the massive drug trafficking organization.

After all, every official member of this drug trafficking organization is linked to at least one unresolved cold case.

But Lin Tian’s words did not end there. He continued to tap the table lightly and spoke in a calm voice.

“During the Hundred-Day Crackdown Operation, special focus will be on the cities that Xiao Ming identified earlier. These are the cities where…”

“Starting from the first seizure of high-purity drugs, within the last six months, some major cities have experienced unsolved murder cases.”

“Because…”

“These cities likely harbor at least one member of the drug trafficking organization. If we can catch them, we might be able to completely unearth this entire organization by following the clues.”

“So, under such circumstances, the higher-ups have issued another special order…”

At this point, Lin Tian deliberately paused for a few seconds, his eyes flashing as he spoke seriously.

“In these key cities, if a criminal investigation team can be the first to solve a cold case and catch a member of this large drug trafficking group…”

“Then this team will be the core, with the best personnel drawn from various locations, forming a dedicated task force with more power than most city bureaus, able to mobilize personnel from all over.”

“All resources and privileges will be focused on one thing:”

“Eliminating this massive drug trafficking organization!”

Although Lin Tian didn’t directly state it, both Su Ming and Xu Changsheng knew very well that, aside from the honor of solving an old cold case, the power and prestige of being able to lead such a task force would be immense.

This task force, with the criminal investigation team as its core, would be the most powerful unit for dealing with this drug trafficking organization. No city criminal investigation team could afford to ignore this opportunity.

This was a true collective honor.

There had never been a task force this large before, one that required an entire criminal investigation team to be its core.

Not to mention, solving the cold cases and uncovering this massive drug trafficking organization would likely earn everyone involved a collective first-class merit award.

Thus, criminal investigation teams across various provinces and cities would undoubtedly do their best to ensure this organization was completely exposed.

This was true healthy competition.

Although it wasn’t explicitly stated, as the head of the Huaihai Criminal Investigation Team, and having already revealed the drug trafficking organization and the murderer of the Magic City University dismemberment case from twenty years ago, Lin Tian was naturally very eager…

To see Huaihai Criminal Investigation Team become the first team to solve a cold case among all those working on the crackdown operation.

This was not just for collective honor but to personally participate in the task force that would finally eliminate this massive drug trafficking organization!

Of course, Lin Tian was also very confident that the Huaihai Criminal Investigation Team was much closer to the truth and more capable than any other organization.

After all, when he carefully thought back to Su Ming’s brilliant deductions and the various directions in the case, Lin Tian was sure of one thing.

Su Ming’s criminal investigation abilities had reached a terrifying level.

He far surpassed a normal university graduate, and even compared to experienced veteran detectives, he was not inferior at all.

With a case-solving genius like him around, even the dismemberment case from twenty years ago seemed solvable.

Not to mention, they had obtained video footage from the time of the crime. This undoubtedly increased the chances of solving the case even further.

…

At this moment, after Lin Tian finished explaining the higher-ups’ decision, Su Ming, after a moment’s thought, spoke without hesitation.

“Director Lin.”

“Just now, Qu Wenbiao, in order to gain credit and reduce his sentence, and to avenge his son, revealed the internal dark web of the drug trafficking organization to us.”

“Although after forcing a breach, we didn’t browse the forum for long before the server was shut down.”

“But in the limited time…”

“From the footage we captured, we have already roughly determined the name of the organization, the nationwide information of its agents, similar to individuals like Skinny Dog, and some details shared by the murderer of the Magic City University dismemberment case.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian was momentarily stunned, unable to believe what he was hearing as he stared at Su Ming and Xu Changsheng.

He knew very well how valuable and incredible it was to obtain all the information about this drug trafficking organization’s agents.

But Su Ming continued without stopping, explaining further.

“I think…”

“If the higher-ups want to launch the Hundred-Day Cold Case Crackdown Operation, today we can begin by taking down the front-line agents of this drug trafficking organization in various cities.”

“This would completely sabotage the drug network they’ve been operating for years and might even provide us with clues to some of the organization members.”

“As for the details of the 5.13 dismemberment case…”

“I haven’t had a chance to review them in detail yet, so I came here to report first.”

“However, Brother Quan has already uploaded the video footage to our team’s internal network.”

“Director Lin, you can watch the video and decide how you want to proceed.”

At this moment, Lin Tian didn’t hesitate. He quickly waved his hand at Su Ming and Xu Changsheng, signaling them to come over.

“Xiao Ming, A Sheng.”

“Come over here, let’s watch the video together and see how many amazing clues it contains that we can use to completely uncover those hidden members of the drug trafficking organization!”

Without further hesitation, Lin Tian immediately opened the internal platform and clicked on the video sent by An Quan.

Xu Changsheng, who had not been in the Criminal Investigation Technology Department earlier, was now filled with unspoken curiosity.

At this moment, when the loading circle appeared, the screen that had been blank turned into a dark red hue.

A special arrangement of letters spelled out the word “Kill” in a style that felt both artistic and menacing.

Although there was no special explanation or introduction, all three of them understood immediately…

“Kill” was the name of the drug trafficking organization, and it could be interpreted as assassins, hunters, or even butchers.

Clearly, time was tight. The video didn’t linger long on the organization’s name and quickly moved on to the agent information.

As the agent information appeared, Lin Tian and Xu Changsheng immediately focused, trying to remember the contents of the video.

According to criminal investigation protocol, the first time viewing video material is typically done without pausing, just to get a general impression. The detailed review happens during the second watch.

Once the agent information ended, both Lin Tian and Xu Changsheng narrowed their eyes.

There were eleven…

In this agent information section, eleven special code names like “Doctor,” “Poison,” and “Ghost” appeared.

Before they could think further, the video jumped again, skipping the section on failed cases and heading straight to a post about successful cases.

The first post was titled…

[Experience Sharing from the Magic City University Dismemberment Case]

Sensing that time was running out, the cursor quickly clicked on the post, and the screen changed. A large, eye-catching sentence appeared at the top of the post.

[Never actively seek your prey. Instead, let the prey come to you…]
