Conducting an investigation across six cities and multiple counties, including hotels, inns, and homestays, can be considered an extremely extensive operation, but for Xu Taining, it's more like a trivial task.
Xu Taining himself had other work to handle and couldn't possibly come over just for this minor investigation. If he were to show up, it would be to oversee the entire operation. Simply narrowing down the suspect's lodging locations wouldn't necessitate his involvement.
So Jiang Yuan broke down the tasks and assigned them to the criminal investigation teams of the six cities and counties. Since it involved multiple cities across two provinces, coordinating a united operation was no small feat. Even if the provincial department stepped in, it could only assist with communication, as centralizing leadership would require intervention from a higher-ranking authority.
At this stage, the capabilities of the respective criminal teams came into play.
