Walking out of the station, colleagues were already waiting in line. Daniel Zhang, vice mayor of Linfen City and director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, led everyone to send flowers to the Triumphant Police. After a brief greeting, everyone got on the bus and escorted the 4 criminal suspects to the case-handling center of the Linfen Municipal Public Security Bureau's directly subordinate sub-bureau.
On February 2, the linfen municipal public security bureau directly under the sub-bureau received a report from the victim that he had been defrauded of 2.59 million yuan since October 2020 through online dating. The case was serious, and it was approaching the Spring Festival, and the sub-bureau directly under the Linfen Municipal Public Security Bureau quickly organized a composite combat unit such as criminal investigation, network security, and anti-fraud to carry out work.
"We combed through each clue in light of the facts of the case. The combatants ate and lived in the unit, rested for four or five hours a day, and when they were tired and sleepy, they leaned back on their chairs and lay on the table for a while. Yu Chengqiang, head of the telecommunications fraud special class of the Linfen Municipal Public Security Bureau's directly subordinate sub-bureau, introduced that after four days and four nights of work, they successfully locked in a fraud criminal gang hidden in Shenyang, Benxi and other places in Liaoning Province, with criminal suspects in a certain African country as the backbone.
On February 7, led by Li Zhigang, a 25-year veteran criminal police officer, an arrest team composed of five police officers from the Linfen Municipal Public Security Bureau's direct sub-bureau flew to Shenyang, Liaoning Province. When they arrived in Shenyang, it was 22 o'clock, and they went straight to the Shenyang Municipal Public Security Bureau to carry out their work. With the assistance of the Liaoning police, on February 8, Linfen police arrested two criminal suspects in Dandong, Liaoning Province.

On the afternoon of February 9, Li Zhigang and Yu Chengqiang respectively led the team, with the assistance of the Liaoning police, to carry out simultaneous arrests in Shenyang and Benxi, and arrested 4 criminal suspects.
"After arriving in Liaoning, in order to further obtain evidence and clarify the facts of the case, the members of the arrest team slept only two or three hours a day on average." Li Zhigang introduced that they are working in Liaoning, and the colleagues who stayed in the sub-bureau directly under the Linfen City Public Security Bureau also worked tirelessly to provide support for the front.
Among the 6 criminal suspects arrested this time, 2 were handled separately by the Dandong police, and 4 were taken criminal compulsory measures by the Linfen police in accordance with the law. On February 10, in order to escort the criminal suspect back to Linfen, four more police officers from the linfen municipal public security bureau went to Liaoning for reinforcements.
"Before we set out, we made up our minds not to solve this case and swore not to collect troops." Li Zhigang and Yu Chengqiang told reporters that they did not know which day they would be able to return home. Temporarily bought a ticket from Shenyang to return to Linfen by train, the seats were not enough, 9 police officers escorted 4 criminal suspects for a long time, and could only take turns to rest.
"The more holidays there are, the more prime time we have to solve cases." Li Zhigang told reporters that such a Chinese New Year's Eve is normal for him. From the police for many years, I and my colleagues have not rarely fought with criminal suspects to grab daggers and fight to the death, and I have become accustomed to handling cases during the Spring Festival, "without considering the festival."
