The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 417 No Undercover Agents, Cooperation is Needed

Lin Yang looked at Qin Chuan.

If Qin Chuan had made this suggestion a week ago, Lin Yang would have strongly opposed it, but things are different now.

Qin Chuan's side annihilated a drug trafficking gang without shedding a drop of blood. This was a drug trafficking gang that Lin Yang and his team had been trying to take down for several years without success.

His own men were only slightly injured during the encirclement, and his undercover agent Zhang Kui returned unharmed.

It can be said that after this incident, Qin Chuan's prestige within the Narcotics Control Team was established.

"Captain Qin, so you mean..."

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes.

"After the drug trafficking forces led by Uncle Kun collapsed more than a decade ago, after so many years of ups and downs, the three major drug trafficking forces of the Illuminati have gradually formed this year."

Lin Yang nodded. This is the reason for the current external power structure.

Qin Chuan continued, "Although these three forces inherited some of the remnants of Uncle Kun's original drug trafficking forces, they are actually weak inside after such a long period of fighting."

Over the years, although these forces have not stopped drug trafficking, their activities have actually decreased considerably compared to when Uncle Kun's drug trafficking gang was in power.

Sigh, these forces have been consuming Huobi for so many years, which is actually a drain on resources, not only personnel but also money.

Although the madman is wealthy, his wealth is not inexhaustible. Therefore, with the territories of the three forces now basically divided, each is seeking rapid development.

"At this point, these drug trafficking activities, including those of the Illuminati, are actually focused on finding buyers."

This is why, during the last border war, all the factions were so interested in the information about the drug trafficking network in Linjiang Province that Qin Chuan possessed.

“Sending undercover agents now won’t actually gain them more trust.”

We believe that the three forces have now largely taken shape, and the internal power structure has been thoroughly refined over the past decade or so.

The leader of each faction is unshakeable, and his subordinates are loyal. What they need now is to traffic drugs and exchange the drugs in their hands for money.

Therefore, even if an undercover agent were to infiltrate now, they would not be able to contact the higher-ups; instead, they would be sent out to seek buyers.

“We need to start from the needs of the Illuminati. What they need now is not force, territory, or loyal subordinates, but to find buyers.”

The more Qin Chuan analyzed, the brighter his eyes became.

The Illuminati needs money to recover and rebuild, and turning drugs into money is what they need to do most right now.

Since the Kuntai drug trafficking ring was destroyed, Qin Chuan has been thinking about how to deal with the Illuminati these past two days.

The old approach of sending infiltrators to gradually erode and weaken the enemy is fundamentally unworkable.

This method can effectively suppress the opponent, but it cannot eliminate them.

In Qin Chuan's view, this is a passive defensive strategy. If there is not enough initiative to attack, one can only wait for the other party to attack, which puts the whole battle situation in a passive state.

Qin Chuan felt that since they were going to do it anyway, they might as well do something big.

"Section Chief Lin, is it possible for us to use the clues and channels we have to pose as a major buyer and lure Illuminati members into a trap?"

Seduction?

The anti-drug squad has used this method before; sometimes the special operations team will also disguise themselves as drug traffickers to make contact with them and then catch them all in one fell swoop.

However, these are usually small-scale operations, and the amount of drugs seized is only a few kilograms.

If Qin Chuan were to deal with the Illuminati, it certainly wouldn't be a small-scale operation like this, because their leader wouldn't show up, and the bait wouldn't be big enough.

"Although Captain Qin's method is feasible, there are two problems with it."

Lin Yang has his own thoughts.

Moreover, he was well aware of the drawbacks and advantages of this approach.

Qin Chuan has now established his authority within the Narcotics Control Team, and even Lin Yang himself greatly respects him. Therefore, he will only offer some supplementary advice to Qin Chuan.

"On the one hand, adopting such methods requires unfamiliar faces."

It's not easy to find unfamiliar faces.

In particular, who should play the role of the person interacting with the other party?

“Once a large buyer emerges, the Illuminati will definitely conduct a very detailed background check on that buyer to determine whether the buyer has the funds to take over their goods and to ensure their safety.”

“Such unfamiliar faces are not easy to find. Our ordinary anti-drug police officers, whether in terms of mental fortitude or ability, are not enough to take on such a role.”

This is like casting actors; only the acting skills of some international superstars can make a good performance.

In addition, they are, after all, anti-drug police officers, and being former police officers, they do not have a comprehensive understanding of the mindset and behavioral habits of drug dealers, making it easy for them to expose their weaknesses.
