Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 152: They are all thousand-year-old foxes, they all know this

It’s broken and can’t be found again... Yu Dazhang immediately realized that something was wrong.

Once the four bodies were cremated, no DNA information could be detected from them.

This means that it is no longer possible to tell which ashes belong to which deceased person.

The families who have lost their loved ones will never let it go when they find out.

Just imagine.

Facing the grief-stricken family members, the police said in a soothing tone:
"The people in these four urns are your relatives. It's hard to tell who is who. Please pick one at random."

No one would agree to this!

There is only a one in four chance of choosing your true relative, but the possibility of choosing the wrong one is too great.

From then on, the person that the family members worship every year may be a stranger.

The cemetery they purchased at great expense may ultimately contain the ashes of an unrelated person.

Who can accept such a thing?

That's a big heart.

But this problem is easy to solve.

Four words: make the best of a bad situation.

Since nothing can be detected, the four ashes will be distributed to the family members.

Without any selection, they insisted that they were the ashes of their relatives.

There's no way for them to tell the difference anyway.

Although this approach is a bit unfair, it can at least calm the storm and prevent the situation from further deteriorating and getting out of control.

"That..." Yu Dazhang didn't want to continue this topic. He thought about it and changed the question:

"Have you found out the destination and purpose of the bodies taken away from the funeral home?"

He doesn't need to worry about how to explain to the family members, the bureau will handle the follow-up work.

He didn't want to get involved in such things.

After all, sometimes, considering the overall situation, some white lies are really needed.

But Yu Dazhang didn't want to tell this lie.

"Nothing was found during the investigation." The police officer was a little frustrated when he mentioned this:
"All the staff at the funeral home were asked this question, and they all said they didn't know."

"According to their confessions, only the deputy director knew the inside story."

"The deputy curator is solely responsible for how the bodies are traded and transported. Even the curator is not clear about it."

He's quite tight-lipped... It was hard for Yu Dazhang to imagine that in a crime committed by a gang of more than 20 people, only one person knew about the most crucial link.

"The deputy director wasn't caught?"

The trial hadn't reached that stage yesterday, and Yu Dazhang had already gone back.

Moreover, there are too many people involved in the case, and it takes a process to confirm their identities.

"We did catch him. During yesterday's arrest, we brought back the deputy director of the funeral home. His identity has been confirmed."

The police officer's expression was somewhat grim:
"But his interrogation did not go smoothly. He admitted to reselling corpses but refused to reveal the whereabouts of the bodies."

Didn't you use any means...Yu Dazhang didn't think that a deputy director of a funeral home could withstand the interrogation of the criminal police.

What's more, this is an organized crime.

The deputy director should be very clear that what he did cannot be concealed.

If that's the case, why did he refuse to reveal the whereabouts of the body?

The conference room fell silent.

It seems that everyone is thinking about this question.

Yu Dazhang's brain was working rapidly, and he quickly went through all the possibilities he could think of.

Finally, there are only two possibilities left:

1. He is buying time for the next team.

Once the buyer knows that something happened in the funeral home, he will definitely escape as soon as possible.

If he manages to escape, the clue will be broken.

But the question is, why did the deputy director do this?
Wouldn't it be better to confess voluntarily and get lenient treatment?

2. He does not want the police to know the specific transaction content between him and his downstream buyer.

If the buyer is caught, the secret will no longer be kept.

I understand...Yu Dazhang’s eyes lit up.

He wants to live!
The reason why he held back was because the deputy director knew that once the content of the transaction was exposed, he would definitely be sentenced to a heavy punishment.

In other words, you will die!
In this case, the content of the transaction between them... is extremely heinous!

As a criminal policeman, Yu Dazhang also studied the law.

While in police academy, I studied various legal courses, including criminal law, constitutional law, administrative law, civil law, etc.

Criminal law, in particular, is a compulsory course for every student.

He remembered that such acts of stealing and selling corpses were collectively called corpse theft.

The penalty is imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance.

In other words, the maximum sentence is three years.

The deputy director must have done research on this as well.

As long as he can hold on and only admit to stealing and selling corpses, he will be released after serving a maximum of three years in prison.

Refusing to hand over accomplices is not illegal.

It will only be regarded as a poor attitude towards admitting guilt, which will be unfavorable to him in the subsequent sentencing process.

That’s a difficult problem to solve...Yu Dazhang also felt it was a difficult situation.

The deputy director is determined to fight to the end.

Then everyone expressed their own opinions.

The police officers who conducted the interrogation last night also recounted the contents of the interrogation one by one.

The meeting lasted nearly an hour.

After the meeting, Li Jun called Yu Dazhang to his office.

After the two sat down on the reception sofa, Li Jun asked directly:

"The Municipal Bureau is going to take over this case. What do you think?"

"Do I have a say?" Yu Dazhang was confused and didn't understand what Captain Li meant.

If the Municipal Bureau wants to take over, it can just give the order directly. How can it discuss it with the lower-level branch units?

Besides, even if they wanted to discuss it, they wouldn't ask for the opinion of a small detective like him.

He still has this bit of self-awareness.

"Director Liu asked me to ask." Li Jun replied with a smile.

Testing me again, so annoying... Yu Dazhang didn't even think about it and said directly:

"Since the Municipal Bureau wants to take over, let the Municipal Bureau handle it. I have no objection, and I dare not have any objection."

"Do you really think so?" Li Jun looked at him with a smile.

"Of course." Yu Dazhang nodded:
"I went to the Qingpu Branch to help investigate a case. The Municipal Bureau transferred me there. I just obeyed orders and followed instructions."

As he spoke, his eyes were wandering and he didn't notice Li Jun's sharp eyes at all.

In fact, both of them knew it well.

Director Liu is extending an olive branch to Yu Dazhang.

If Yu Dazhang does not agree with the Municipal Bureau taking over, he wants to investigate the matter personally.

Director Liu will transfer him to the Municipal Bureau and join the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team to continue investigating the case.

After that, it was natural for me to stay and work in the Municipal Bureau.

Otherwise, you will give up this opportunity.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, they understand all this.

"No regrets?"

Li Jun stared at him and asked, as if trying to see something from his face.

"What are you regretting?" Yu Dazhang seemed confused, but he was actually panicking:
"Captain Li, your question is very strange."

The best way to deal with this situation is to pretend to be confused.

No matter what choice you make, you will offend people.

Those who like to show off their cleverness and become complacent when something good happens to them will not have a good ending.

Yu Dazhang is very satisfied with his current working environment and has no intention of changing places.

I would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix…

Many people have only heard of this sentence but don't know its true meaning.

It is better to stand out in a lower-level environment than to be unknown in a high-level environment.

What's more, Yu Dazhang never thought of becoming successful by being a policeman.
