Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 316 I Don't Even Trust Myself
To put it bluntly, she was afraid her son was in danger.

So when Li Xuehe heard that Yu Dazhang was going to another place, she immediately lost her appetite.

“Auntie, he’s going to investigate a case, not to fight terrorism,” Qu Tuotuo quickly interjected.

"Don't worry, if it's a particularly dangerous operation, the SWAT team will be deployed, and it won't be his turn."

She didn't want Yu Dazhang to go to another place, but since things had come to this, she could only accept reality.

Moreover, at times like this, Qu Tuotuo would naturally help Yu Dazhang explain.

She's not the kind of girl who likes to throw tantrums; she's always clear-headed when it comes to matters of principle.

“You child…” Li Xuehe shook her head, but didn’t say anything more, though her expression was still not very good.

Fatherly love is something that comes from the side.

Yu Guangyuan looked at his son, hesitant to speak, and finally only said one sentence:
"Remember, never try to be a hero."

The next day.

Inside the backlog case office.

"Bring the case files, confessions, and all the details of the imprisonment case."

Yu Dazhang stood inside the room, directing his team members to make preparations before departure.

Even Lü Zhongxin was extremely busy.

In this room, Yu Dazhang, despite being the youngest, was in charge of four policemen who were far more senior than him, one of whom was his mentor.

But none of the four complained at all; they all obeyed his orders without question.

Because his abilities are beyond question.

All four of them had worked with him and had received numerous honors under his guidance.

There's a widely acknowledged fact in the Songhai police force: following Fatty guarantees meritorious service.

The only difference is the magnitude of the credit received.

However, many people also hate Da Zhang with a passion.

Too many people in the Songhai police force have suffered because of him.

After each special case is resolved, a large number of people within the system are dealt with, or even sentenced.

Yu Dazhang, however, didn't care at all.

That's just how life is; some people love you, and naturally, some people hate you.

He was just a bit extreme.

If I had to use a metaphor, Yu Dazhang would be like Yanjing's fermented mung bean juice.

Those who love him are ecstatic.

Those who hate him hate him to the point of despair.

"Check the equipment," Yu Dazhang continued, giving the order.
"Check all your personal belongings."

He didn't want to make things so complicated, but the journey was just too long, so he had to be careful.

After checking everything, Yu Dazhang was finally relieved. At that moment, Li Jun also appeared at the door.

Are two police cars enough?

He came here not only to see them off, but also to check if they were well prepared.

“That’s enough, I’ll drive my own car,” Yu Dazhang replied.

"That makes three vehicles, including one private car, which will make the investigation more convenient."

Li Jun nodded and said nothing more.

The members of this task force are all experienced criminal police officers, but the one with the shortest service record is the one he trusts the most.

Li Jun escorted them all the way downstairs, and after they got into the car, he couldn't help but give them some final words of advice:

"Safety is the top priority. If you encounter an emergency, try not to be reckless. Call us anytime if you need anything."

"Don't worry." Yu Dazhang smiled at him.
"Captain Li, why are you being so sentimental? This isn't like you at all."

Upon hearing this, Li Jun showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

"You little rascal." He patted the car body and urged:
"let's go."

The entire journey from Songhai to Yancheng is over 1,200 kilometers.

With five people and three cars, it would take at least ten hours to travel.

Fortunately, all five of them could drive, so they could take turns resting on the road.

Traveling is the most mentally taxing thing, but there are also moments of relaxation. When they stopped to rest along the way, everyone took out the food they had brought from home.

Perhaps because they were going on a long trip, everyone's home was well-prepared, with several kinds of roast chicken and sausages alone.

Yu Dazhang's meal was the most lavish; Qu Tuotuo had ordered a table full of food directly from the hotel and packed it up, placing it in his car.

It's already the end of November, so there's no need to worry about the food spoiling.

"You're incredibly lucky to have found such a great girlfriend while solving cases."

Zhang Sen ate while sighing with admiration.

"Please watch your wording," Yu Dazhang protested.
"What does it mean to 'pick up a girlfriend'? It means that my personal charm won her over."

"Alright, alright." Zhang Sen waved his hand, looking like he'd had enough of Yu Dazhang.

"Are you even letting us eat?"

Lu Zhongxin and the others smiled and remained silent, but their eyes revealed envy.

They had all met Qu Tuotuo; who wouldn't want such a wealthy and considerate partner, who was also beautiful?

In modern terms, she is the ideal woman in a man's heart.

After having a meal, the group continued their journey and arrived in Yancheng, N Province, that evening.

After finding a hotel in the area and booking a room, Yu Dazhang gathered the group together.

"I'll now assign the tasks."

He first looked at Ma Jian and Liu Miao:

"Tomorrow morning, you will continue your journey to Yangcheng in D Province to investigate suspicious individuals near the train station."

"If you find anything unusual, do not act on your own; report it to me immediately."

Time was of the essence, so this was the only arrangement he could make for the time being.

Although the task force has limited personnel, splitting up operations can still maximize the efficiency of case handling.

Ma Jian and Liu Miao were paired together because they had the best teamwork.

During the period when the backlog case team was formed, the three of them interacted almost every day and had developed a good understanding with each other.

Lü Zhongxin and Zhang Sen were temporary additions, and they still need to work on their teamwork.

Upon hearing Yu Dazhang's arrangement, Ma Jian and the others immediately nodded in agreement:

"clear."

"And one more thing," Yu Dazhang thought for a moment, feeling it necessary to remind them:
"If it's not necessary, don't contact the local police easily. The city bureau leaders will naturally handle the communication regarding inter-regional cooperation. We just need to report it normally then."

Upon hearing this, all four people in the room looked at him with suspicion.

"You don't trust the local police?"

It was Lü Zhongxin who spoke up, believing that his apprentice was making a mountain out of a molehill.

We cannot doubt all grassroots police officers just because an individual in a certain police station has a problem.

As a criminal investigator, one should not make the mistake of generalizing from limited evidence.

"I don't even trust myself," Yu Dazhang replied with a hint of helplessness.

"What we see is not always the truth. It's always good to be careful when you're out and about."

He said that to save face for Lü Zhongxin.

He is the most experienced among these people when it comes to remote collaboration.

When the case of the severed finger was solved in S Province, a high-ranking official in the provincial department gave Yu Dazhang the green light with just one sentence.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to command the police force in S Province at all.

So it's not that he doesn't trust the local police, but rather that if they contact them themselves, no one will take them seriously.

The best way is to use power to mobilize power.

He believed that Director Liu would definitely help, after all, they represented the Songhai police force.

After assigning tasks to Ma Jian and Liu Miao, Yu Dazhang looked at Lü Zhongxin and Zhang Sen:

What were the findings of yesterday's interrogation of Fang Peng?

He believed that his master would not let him down.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Lü Zhongxin immediately replied:

“As you instructed, we focused on asking him about his experiences at the Yancheng Police Station back then, and we actually got some useful information out of him.”
