<h4>Chapter 1217: Chapter 1146 The Clumsy Way_2</h4><h4></h4>


    Liu Jinghui half-exined, "Even if we find the drug manufacturing nt, we might not necessarily find the undercover agent; the two are separate."


    "Very likely. The people at the drug manufacturing sites, especially domestically, aren’t necessarily very high-level. Often, just a few people can set up a makeshift operation. Drug users aren’t very picky either; they don’t care much about low purity or impurities—that’s why they die quickly." Yuan Bomian said this, and surprisingly smiled, "The Jianyuan Group you took down was a rare genuine drug manufacturing factory in the country. When Jianyuan copsed, the price of rted products skyrocketed from a few hundred yuan per gram to a maximum of 60,000 yuan."


    "60,000 yuan per gram?" Liu Jinghui hadn’t paid attention to this aspect.


    Yuan Bomian solemnly nodded, "Addicts will always need to use, especially when such arge manufacturing nt like Jianyuan copses suddenly, creating a massive shortage. The price over ten thousand yuan was actually an enticement to get drug hoarders to release some stock; it was an act of desperation."


    When talking about the Jianyuan Group, Yuan Bomian’s gaze toward Jiang Yuan changed.


    Anyone who has ever captured a drug dealer knows how thick the firewall around these drug lords can be—how wide the firebreaks are built. And Jiang Yuan’s takedown of the Jianyuan Group was not without its challenges. Not only did he tussle with them numerous times, but he also narrowly avoided being run over by a dump truck.


    If it weren’t for Jiang Yuan’s already established reputation and the strong support from the police force, it’s hard to say how things would have turned out.


    Moreover, it wasn’t Jiang Yuan’s first time taking down a drug syndicate. The "Crystal Cruiser," which often appeared in anti-drug intelligence, was also taken down under the guise of "Poison Capture Net" due to Jiang Yuan’s investigation on Su Ind.


    Thinking of this, Yuan Bomian felt slightly embarrassed.


    Whether it was Jianyuan or the "Crystal Cruiser," both were formidable drug organizations. The drug syndicates he usually investigated, while extremely vicious and harmful, were much smaller in scale and less challenging to investigate.


    Nowadays, about 10,000 drug gangs are dismantled nationally each year, but those truly deserving of the title "drug syndicate" are very rare.


    While Yuan Bomian was pondering, Jiang Yuan had also finished reviewing the files he brought with him.


    After handing the remaining documents to Liu Jinghui, Jiang Yuan said, "Captain Yuan, what I meant by starting over is that since the clues from the anti-drug squad are insufficient, we should start fresh and re-investigate, without being confined to Longsword and Red Face."


    "Could you borate? I didn’t quite understand." Yuan Bomian handed Jiang Yuan a cigarette and lit it with a flick.


    Pop pop pop pop.


    With this opening, the detectives around lit their cigarettes en masse. After being a detective for a while, one realizes that just being alive isn’t easy.


    Jiang Yuan fiddled with the cigarette, saying, "Let’s discuss among ourselves. I’m not sure if I understand correctly. Longsword, Red Face, and the superior of Red Face we’re looking for are actually operating in fixed areas."


    "That’s basically it. At their level, it’s difficult to operate across regions. The more grassroots level drug dealers are, the more they need to be familiar with the local area." Yuan Bomian flicked the ash off his cigarette, "Without local advantages, a stranger would be exposed in a few days."


    "Then I think finding a drug manufacturing nt is easier than finding Brother Li alone?" Jiang Yuan asked a soul-searching question that sounded foolish to Yuan Bomian.


    Yuan Bomian grew a bit anxious, "Drug manufacturing nts don’t need to appear; they just need to produce. There are very few ws, so how do we find them directly? I know what you mean: you want to use chemical analysis to find them, right? But this method assumes that the factory doesn’t relocate or that it discharges waste at a fixed location. The first batch of unlucky drug syndicates have just been caught, and the others have be cautious."


    Yuan Bomian specifically remarked, "Nowadays, the factories move after each hit. They gather all the chemicals needed, quietly transport them to a location, a few people lock themselves in there to work, finish a batch entirely, and might even switch locations midway through production, finishing at a different ce. Therefore, even if we want to find a nt now, we probably can’t because the nt might already have ceased production."


    "But you previously mentioned that Longsword and Red Face are expanding their market, which means the nt is new, or they have arge stockpile, or they are expanding production, right?" Jiang Yuan’s words stumped Yuan Bomian.


    Yuan Bomian had to nod and added, "Even so, if the nt has finished production, it doesn’t exist anymore..."


    "What I mean is, discovering the local drugwork is easier than finding an individual within it." Jiang Yuan rified.


    Yuan Bomian opened his mouth; he wanted to say he didn’t agree with that, but looking at Jiang Yuan in front of him, he couldn’t bring himself to argue. The man had indeed dismantled drugworks before.


    Jiang Yuan continued, "Since this drug syndicate has already started distributing, they won’t just stop, right?"


    "Of course, drug dealing is like dancing on a knife’s edge. When they see an undercover agent, they’ll kill them directly, but sales don’t stop." Yuan Bomian said as he began puffing on his cigarette furiously.


    Huang Qiangmin quicklyforted him from the side and handed him a bottle of water.


    Yuan Bomian chugged the water down noisily.


    Dai Mingsheng nced at Huang Qiangmin and thought, indeed, the most viinous know well how to win favor with small kindnesses.
