Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 345 I think I've found you

This was just one of his observation points... Yu Dazhang quickly drew a conclusion.

That's right, this is the safest way.

Whether or not the police are spotted, this is not a suitable place to meet.

Next, the other party will try to scam those three people and refuse to meet, which is a common tactic.

He will not leave, but will choose to stay where he is and continue to observe.

The reason is simple: police are often most likely to let their guard down during evacuation.

If those three people are indeed already in police custody, then when they leave, the police will definitely escort them away.

This would completely expose the police.

He has some brains, but not much… Yu Dazhang felt relieved.

In his view, anything within the bounds of logic is not considered clever.

"I'm not playing with you anymore."

Yu Dazhang looked at the parking lot, a smile spreading across his lips:
"Today I'll show you what it means to be trapped in your own web."

He then took out his phone and called Lü Zhongxin.

Once the connection was established, he immediately gave the order:
"Have those three people urge them again, and this time make it clear that if they don't come soon, they're leaving."

"Understood," Lü Zhongxin replied immediately.

This procedure is essential; otherwise, it might startle the other party.

Before making the arrest, the first thing to do is to keep the other side calm and make him think that everything is going according to his wishes.

Two minutes later, Lü Zhongxin called back:

"It seems like they've spotted us. They just questioned the man about why he cooperated with the police in arresting him."

Fortunately, the man did not admit it and his answer was very calm, but the other party refused to meet.

"I feel like something's not right. What do we do next?"

He doesn't know when it started, but whenever he's with his apprentice, he habitually asks his apprentice for advice on how to solve a problem.

It seems that this is the only way to find a solution.

He guessed correctly... Yu Dazhang was overjoyed.

Then the next step is easy.

"Where's Zhang Sen?" He suddenly remembered this master of disguise.

It seemed that he hadn't seen Zhang Sen at all from the moment he got off the bus until he entered the hotel.

Did she put on makeup to look like an old lady again?

“He’s sitting on a bench at the edge of the square,” Lü Zhongxin replied.
"He was an old lady with a hunched back and a cane next to her."

Just as I expected... Yu Dazhang almost laughed.

From then on, N Province had one more elderly person living alone with an unknown identity.

"Have Zhang Sen and the provincial police officers move to the parking lot," Yu Dazhang ordered.
"The other party's attention is on the hotel entrance, so try to approach from the sides and rear."

Zhang Sen wasn't worried; no one would have imagined that a hunched-over old lady would be a police officer.

The police officers in the provincial department must also have their own set of disguise techniques and methods.

There are no newbies here, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

"Should we surround the parking lot directly?"

Lü Zhongxin suggested:

“We have enough police force. We just need to block the exits and entrances with vehicles and search each car.”

He didn't ask why the target was the parking lot.

Because he had enough trust in his apprentice's judgment.

As it turns out, every time Yu Dazhang participated in the investigation, he was able to accurately identify suspicious points and find clues from them.

“That’s not a safe enough approach,” Yu Dazhang rejected his suggestion.
“If we search each car one by one, the other party will find out very quickly, and then he might become desperate and do something rash.”

They must prevent the other party from ramming their vehicle; if this results in injury or death, they are derelict in their duty.

Time is running out... After Yu Dazhang finished speaking, he put down his phone and gestured with his hand to indicate the location of the parking lot.

Then, focusing on his own perspective, he scanned the parking lot.

More than thirty cars were scattered throughout the parking lot. (Analysis from different angles...)

Vehicles approaching from the east have their view obstructed, as the roadside trees block the view from that direction.

The other party came here to observe, so they certainly wouldn't choose a blind spot.

"It can be ruled out..." Yu Dazhang silently made the judgment in his mind.

There is less parking in the middle area.

People have a habit of parking as close to the side as possible when there are spaces available on both sides.

The middle position is a bit too conspicuous, so it's unlikely to be the right fit, and it doesn't align with the other party's expectations.

Yu Dazhang counted them; there were a total of five cars parked in the middle.

He immediately picked up his phone and held it to his ear:

"Master, have Zhang Sen check those five cars in the middle of the parking lot. The other officers, slow down and move slowly towards the west."

Upon hearing Lü Zhongxin's response, he put his phone down again and looked towards the west side of the parking lot.

It faces the intersection diagonally, with no trees to block the view, so you can see the hotel entrance and even the surrounding shops.

Most importantly, the west side is close to the exit, so if anything unusual is found, you can drive away immediately.

"If it were me, I would also choose this place..." Yu Dazhang smiled.

The scope can be further narrowed down.

He then focused his attention on the license plates of those vehicles.

This is the advantage of having superhuman eyesight; even across a wide road, Yu Dazhang can still clearly see the contents of the license plate.

His gaze swept quickly across the fourteen cars to the west, not missing a single license plate.

One of the cars was driven by the Chinese team, which he automatically ignored.

This time, the main focus is on whether the vehicle is from the local area.

People with guilty consciences usually avoid choosing modes of transportation that require recording their identity information.

For example, trains, high-speed trains, and passenger transport.

Even in 2014, identity registration was required when purchasing train tickets.

If you don't want to register your identity, traveling is simple; just drive yourself.

Will we change cars in Yancheng?
This hypothesis was rejected by Yu Dazhang as soon as it emerged.

Even if you rent a car, you'll leave your identification information, so this is pointless and completely useless.

Therefore, the license plate became a key clue.

There's another reason why the other party dared to drive a car with out-of-town license plates and hide here to observe.

He believes the police will not be able to lock down the parking lot in a short period of time.

According to Lü Zhongxin, the other party always kept the call time within half a minute.

The purpose of doing this was simply to prevent the police from locating his position.

Actually, it's completely unnecessary; a call needs to last for more than 30 seconds to obtain a rough location.

The error range is several hundred meters.

Accurate location can only be achieved using GPS, but users need to actively enable it; it is not enabled by default during calls.

This shows that the other person is someone who values ​​time management.

He won't give the police time to pinpoint his exact location.

Among these cars, four had license plates from other provinces... This proportion exceeded Yu Dazhang's expectations.

But on second thought, it makes perfect sense.

Since it's right across from the hotel, tourists from out of town will naturally park their cars in the nearby parking lot after checking into the hotel.

Yu Dazhang thought for a moment, and finally his gaze fell on a license plate starting with Hunan B.

During the few days he spent staking out the area, he took the time to get a general understanding of the situation in N Province, including the location of the vehicle license plate.

License plates starting with "湘B" are from Jianning.

When we interrogated that man before, he said that the earliest people were brought over from Jianning.

Therefore, that car is the most suspicious!
