Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 325 This is a supply chain!

“We have an industrial zone here, which was originally formed spontaneously by various factories,” Hong Liuwen replied.

"Later, it formed a certain industrial scale and agglomeration effect, gathering nearly a hundred factories and enterprises."

So that's how it is... Yu Dazhang finally understood why the other party wanted to control Hong Liuwen.

With so many factories clustered here, finding someone within the system who can tip people off can solve a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The industrial park happens to be within the jurisdiction of the local police station.

The police station is always the first to know if there's even the slightest disturbance.

Therefore, there is no need for any so-called "protective umbrella." As long as you can get the news in advance and avoid inspections, that's enough.

Fang Peng's incident was purely an accident, and those who were truly mentally disabled were not capable of escaping.

In order to control Hong Liuwen, the other party really went to great lengths, even spending money to hire gangsters to do things for them.

However, upon closer reflection, Hong Liuwen did indeed deserve such treatment from the other party.

"Did the other party tell you about these factories?" Yu Dazhang asked.

He had a reason for asking that question.

Hong Liuwen was terrified and dared not take the initiative to investigate.

“Yes,” Hong Liuwen nodded in response.

“The name and address of each factory were given to me by that person over the phone. Although I didn’t actively investigate anything, I did visit the inside of those factories.”

"The mentally disabled people there are all engaged in heavy physical labor."

"They eat separately from the regular workers, and even inside the factory, no one can come into contact with them."

That's so damn immoral... Yu Dazhang got angrier and angrier as he listened.

This is basically no different from an illegal brick kiln.

Moreover, what these people did was even worse than what was done in illegal brick kilns.

They specifically target people with intellectual disabilities because they believe this group is easy to control and unlikely to resist.

From this perspective, that underground prison is essentially a training base.

People with intellectual disabilities are sent there for pre-job training. Even those who try to resist are subdued and made to behave.

Then, they are divided into different levels based on IQ, which is done to better price the products.

Those with higher IQs will naturally command higher prices.

This is practically a complete supply chain... Yu Dazhang suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Compared to other supply chains, this supply chain provides goods that...

It's people!

The person who came up with this method and developed such a process must have done similar work.

Yu Dazhang looked up at Lü Zhongxin and found that his master was also staring at him with a solemn expression.

That's right, my master thinks the same way I do.

It's clearly an illegal act, but the other party has made it seem legitimate.

for example.

Do you think that once a criminal is sentenced, they are directly transferred from the detention center to the prison?
No.

There's a transit point in between: the induction team.

They must undergo three months of induction training at the induction team before they can enter prison to serve their sentence.

The three-month intensive training included exercises such as standing posture, squatting, and marching.

said with no exaggeration.

No matter how mischievous a person is, they must undergo three months of intensive training in the induction team to smooth out their rough edges before they can come to prison.

Of course, this is also for the convenience of prison management.

Now, looking at that underground prison, doesn't it resemble the induction team in terms of its model?
Previously, basic training in recruit training also lasted three months, but it was changed to six months now because the post-00 generation is very lively. "Were you notified by phone the whole time?" Yu Dazhang asked, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Since the other party dared to call Hong Liuwen directly, why did they send the photos and videos via express delivery?

Wouldn't it be more convenient to just add a communication software and send it over?

“Yes,” Hong Liuwen replied.

"He not only used a voice changer, but his phone number was also altered; it was one of those randomly displayed numbers, so he must have used VoIP."

"How cautious..." Yu Dazhang thought to himself.

This also explains why the other party didn't use communication software to transfer files.

Because there is a risk of exposure.

The technical department can easily pinpoint the other party's IP address and find out their basic information and location.

Tracking VoIP calls is more complicated, as these calls may use overseas lines, making tracking extremely costly.

If you encounter a situation where "any number" is displayed, it basically means you're dialing using the software, without even needing a phone card.

If the IP is switched again, it will be even more impossible to find.

Clearly, the other party had long anticipated that Hung Liu-wen would turn himself in, which is why they were so well-prepared.

"How often do those people go to that industrial zone?" Yu Dazhang asked.

If possible, he planned to ambush and capture those responsible for the transport.

If you're lucky, you can find the underground prison directly through those people.

"I don't know about that." Hong Liuwen shook her head.
“I have to go to work every day, so I don’t have time to keep an eye on things over there. Besides, when new people are sent over, they don’t tell me.”

There should be no pattern to it... Yu Dazhang understood this from his words.

It's impossible for them to openly promote their services in the industrial zone by bringing along trained mentally disabled individuals.

These illegal and criminal activities usually involve prior contact, agreeing on the number of people and the price, and then sending the people over.

Yu Dazhang thought for a moment, then asked:

"How are people with intellectual disabilities who do heavy physical labor dealt with if they get sick or die?"

He had been thinking about this problem for a long time, but he had never found the answer.

"I don't know either," Hong Liuwen replied somewhat helplessly.
"I never saw anyone get sick there, let alone die."

That means they were taken away... Yu Dazhang could tell that Hong Liuwen had made a deduction, but he didn't say it because he was afraid of affecting other people's judgment.

In other words, that supply chain also includes returns and replacements.

Yu Dazhang can hardly believe the scale the other party has reached.

In Yancheng alone, there are about 300 mentally disabled people working as slave laborers, and this is only within the jurisdiction of one police station.

It is very likely that this situation is also occurring in other factories in Yancheng.

What about the entire province?

What about the whole country?
Yu Dazhang didn't dare to think about the total number of victims involved.

Moreover, he was almost certain that the other party had already begun supplying nationwide.

This means that the criminal organization is much larger than he had previously imagined, and their tentacles have reached all over the country.

Fang Peng was kidnapped in D Province and imprisoned for a full year before being sent to Yancheng in N Province.

This indicates that those people had already begun committing crimes across provinces as early as five years ago.

Is there a possibility...

Was that underground prison not the only one?
When this hypothesis appeared in Yu Dazhang's mind, he felt a chill run through his body.

This is highly likely!

If slave labor were truly provided nationwide, that one underground prison alone wouldn't be enough.
