Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 319 What shook your bottom line?
A veteran criminal investigator with twenty years of experience?
Hong Liuwen's work experience surprised Yu Dazhang.

He solved numerous cases and received many awards, but his career was not smooth; he was only a team leader when he was in the criminal investigation team.

After carefully reviewing his resume, Yu Dazhang finally figured out the reason.

Hong Liuwen is the workaholic type, diligent and conscientious, and responsible in his work, but his abilities are limited.

They solved quite a few cases, but they were all minor ones.

Unlike other places, the criminal investigation team doesn't allow you to get a position based on seniority alone.

The most important thing here is ability. It would be irresponsible to the police officers to let someone who is not capable lead the criminal investigation team.

Criminal police officers are professionals who deal with danger.

Small cases are manageable, but major cases can easily result in casualties.

Hong Liuwen's resume clearly shows that he understands this principle and is aware of his own position.

Therefore, he did not become passive at work because he did not get promoted.

Later, he was transferred to a police station as deputy director, which was a promotion for him.

In the criminal investigation team, Hong Liuwen's abilities were relatively weaker, but in the police station, he was able to handle things independently.

This is normal within the system.

When a criminal investigator is no longer old enough to stay in the criminal investigation team, he or she will be transferred to a police station to do basic work.

Yu Dazhang quickly finished reading the personal file without showing any unusual expression.

Hong Liuwen is not a complicated person.

The background is transparent, social relationships are simple, and family circumstances are clear.

He divorced his wife ten years ago and has remained single ever since. His daughter went abroad to study six years ago and has not returned.

"This shouldn't be happening..." Yu Dazhang muttered to himself.

Hong Liuwen was able to uphold his principles for over ten years in the criminal investigation team, but he betrayed them when he got to the police station?

Logically speaking, criminal police officers have the most frequent contact with criminals. If he were the kind of person who is easily tempted, he would have become corrupt long ago.

Did he collude with criminals when he was a detective?
will not.

This hypothesis was immediately rejected by Yu Dazhang.

the reason is simple.

The resume is too clean.

What kind of place is the criminal investigation team? They can find out the details of even an ant. Not every criminal investigator has superhuman eyesight, but they all have a level of sensitivity that ordinary people cannot match.

Therefore, if Hong Liuwen really colluded with criminals, he would not be able to hide it at all.

"Have you checked the transaction records?" Yu Dazhang asked.

"I've already sent someone to investigate," Lü Zhongxin said in a low voice, glancing at the doorway.

“But I don’t think we’ll find anything. Hong Liuwen is in the same line of work as us and has over 20 years of police experience. He’s very familiar with our investigative methods.”

"He would not allow his cash flow to contain illegal income."

This needs some explanation.

Illegal income and illegal income are not the same thing.

First, determine the legal income limit. Any amount exceeding this limit, if its legal source cannot be explained, is considered illegal income.

Lu Zhongxin is right. Checking transaction records to determine illegal income is also a common investigative method used by Hong Liuwen.

Therefore, he himself could not possibly reveal any flaws in this regard.

“His daughter abroad, and his ex-wife, also need to be investigated.” Yu Dazhang lowered his voice as well.

“Especially his daughter, who costs a lot of money abroad.”

Lü Zhongxin nodded:

“I also had someone investigate these two people, and I handed them over to my team members in Songhai.”

After all, he is a mentor, so he thinks things through very comprehensively.

In his previous life, Yu Dazhang was taught how to solve cases by Yu Dazhang himself. However, Yu Dazhang's experiences in this life are a bit special, which has led to a change in his way of thinking.

As the two were talking, footsteps came from the corridor outside, and then the door was pushed open.

"These three are my colleagues from Songhai." Yang Feng introduced them to the people on both sides as he entered.

"This is our deputy director."

As Yang Feng introduced them, Yu Dazhang and the other two looked at the middle-aged policeman who had entered the house.

He was wearing a police uniform, tall and thin, and looked like the capable type. He had bright eyes, dark skin, and looked very energetic.

"Hello." Yu Dazhang stood up and shook hands with him.

Hong Liuwen sized him up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, as if she had never seen a criminal police officer with such a build before.

After sitting down again, Yu Dazhang solemnly said:

"We'd like to speak with you privately."

It seemed like a discussion, but in reality, it had a somewhat commanding tone.

Hong Liuwen frowned slightly, seemingly displeased, but still said to Yang Feng:

"Go and do your work."

Once only the four of them were left in the room, Yu Dazhang stood up and pointed to the chair he had been sitting in:

"You sit here."

"Why?" Hong Liuwen didn't move, but stared and asked.

"There's no reason why." Yu Dazhang glared back at him.

"It's easier for us to communicate this way."

As they spoke, Lü Zhongxin and Zhang Sen also stood up and walked to the doorway, forming a pincer movement with Yu Dazhang, surrounding Hong Liuwen in the center.

This is a temptation.

Or rather, they were showing Hong Liuwen through their actions that they believed there was something wrong with him.

To Da Zhang's surprise, Hong Liuwen didn't say anything more. After getting up, she sat down in another chair.

Yu Dazhang then sat down opposite him at the desk, while Lü Zhongxin and Zhang Sen remained standing by the door.

Before they knew it, the atmosphere inside the room had become like that of an interrogation.

"You haven't forgotten the Fang Peng case from five years ago, have you?" Yu Dazhang asked, staring at him.

Upon hearing this, Hong Liuwen remained calm, his gaze unwavering, simply glancing indifferently at the person opposite him.
"Of course I remember. I was the one who led the team to search the factory in question that time."

Yu Dazhang was stunned upon hearing this.

It wasn't that there was anything wrong with what Hong Liuwen said, but rather that his reaction was strange.

So peaceful.

Even Lü Zhongxin and Zhang Sen, who were standing to the side, sensed something was amiss and couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Hong Liuwen.

No matter how good a person's acting skills are, they will still feel helpless when faced with sensitive issues involving themselves.

Look at those professional actors who got arrested for drug use.

Many people have commendable acting skills, but when they are arrested, their reactions are the same as those of ordinary people, rendering their acting skills completely useless.

Because that's a normal human reaction, it can't be faked.

"Why didn't you continue to report to your superiors after receiving Yang Feng's report that night?" Yu Dazhang asked again.

This time, he stared intently into Hong Liuwen's eyes, afraid of missing any detail.

"Because I cannot verify the authenticity of the report."

Hong Liuwen answered fluently, showing no sign of guilt whatsoever:
"Moreover, the details of the report are too bizarre. I must verify such matters before reporting them."

It's so smooth... Yu Dazhang was almost convinced by it.

Unfortunately, Hong Liuwen's left shoulder twitched slightly just now.

He even deceived himself, but his body still gave the most honest reaction.

All of this naturally did not escape Yu Dazhang's notice.

"Twenty years of criminal investigation, what's the point?" He looked at Hong Liuwen and gently shook his head.

"I'm really curious, what exactly shook your principles?"
