Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 347 A mere 1,500 yuan?

"You didn't lie about your age." Team Leader Hua's tone was somewhat helpless.

"The start date is also true."

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject:
"Then I have a question I'd like to ask: where did you get your experience in handling cases?"

He emphasized his words when talking about his "case-handling experience".

He finally asked the question... Yu Dazhang inwardly groaned.

This is the logical flaw that rebirth brings.

People can be excellent and intelligent; these are all within the bounds of logic.

But experience cannot be acquired through excellence or intelligence.

Those are things that can only be accumulated through repeated trials and tribulations, built up step by step through personal practice.

No matter how excellent your grades are at the police academy, or how diligently your mentor guides you, it's all just empty talk.

Without practical experience, you'll always be a novice.

Yu Dazhang never imagined that this logical flaw would one day be discovered.

He has handled several major cases, and everyone assumes it's because of his outstanding abilities, but no one has noticed anything amiss.

Ultimately, it was the case itself that attracted people's attention, thus causing them to overlook Yu Dazhang.

"Why don't you speak?"

Seeing his silence, Hua's lips curled into a smile:
"This should be an easy answer for you. With your quick wit, you can easily fool people with any excuse."

Little did they know that Yu Dazhang had no intention of answering at all.

"I don't understand," he said, looking bewildered.

"I just do what my master teaches me. Once I've done it once, I'll naturally get it."

There's nothing to explain.

The Songhai police didn't even ask him to explain, so there's even less need for him to explain when he's in another province.

The other party wasn't his direct superior, and besides, Team Hua and his team were there to cooperate with Yu Dazhang in handling the case.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious. Just treat it as casual conversation."

Hua, sensing Yu Dazhang's resistance, didn't press further and continued speaking to himself:

“I worked my way up from the bottom, and I’ve handled so many cases that I can’t even remember how many people I’ve met.”

"I've seen all sorts of newcomers—smart, talented, and with potential."

He suddenly laughed as he said this.

"But I've never seen anyone with experience, haha..."

He laughed somewhat suppressedly, as if he was trying hard to control himself from laughing too loudly.

"A newbie with extensive case-handling experience, hahaha, don't you find that hilarious?"

Perhaps he simply couldn't control himself, and he burst out laughing:

"Think about it yourself, isn't it contradictory?"

His thinking is unconventional... Yu Dazhang rarely meets someone like Team Leader Hua.

This kind of person considers problems from multiple perspectives.

Comprehensive, meticulous, and targeted...

"I didn't think so." Yu Dazhang resorted to his usual roguish manner, leaning back in his chair, narrowing his eyes, and lazily saying:
"And I don't think I have any experience."

The apprentice is already directing his master in handling cases, but he still has no experience... Captain Hua opened his mouth, but ultimately held back.

Arrived at the Municipal Bureau.

Provincial police officers immediately interrogated the man.

"Name?"

"Wang Hao."

"age?"

"32 is old."

"Current address?"

"Jianning City..." In fact, at the same time as he was arrested, relevant documents had already been found on him.

But the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

Yu Dazhang was staring at the monitor screen when Captain Hua came to his side and gently patted him on the shoulder:

"Let them handle the case here first, let's go have a meeting."

"Okay," Yu Dazhang agreed and then stood up.

Since the day they started their stakeout, they haven't held a single formal meeting, which has resulted in a lot of information not being shared.

Upon arriving at the conference room, Yu Dazhang, just like last time, sat in the seat of honor.

However, this time he clearly noticed that the way the police officers from the provincial department looked at him had changed.

There was a bit of awe, a bit of admiration, but mostly it was a sense of agreement.

Feeling much better... Yu Dazhang thought to himself with secret satisfaction.

The last time I sat here, most people in the provincial department still had doubts about him.

First, age.

Second, case-handling capabilities.

Now, these doubts have all vanished as the case has progressed.

When a person's abilities are recognized, they will naturally receive attention and respect from others.

"This is the interrogation record of the heads of those 22 factories after the operation was completed."

Hua handed a document on the table to Yu Dazhang:
"This is a summary and compilation; I've highlighted the key parts."

He then took out several photocopies and handed them to the police officers for review.

Yu Dazhang then took out a file folder, opened it, and placed the documents inside on the table:
"These are the interrogation records of those three 'feet'."

The interrogation of those three people was handled by the provincial police officers. Only Captain Hua was unaware of it, so Yu Dazhang only prepared one copy.

As if by unspoken agreement, the detectives present all took out cigarettes.

With the sound of a lighter being lit, blue smoke quickly filled the conference room.

Meanwhile, the room quieted down, with only the occasional sound of papers turning.

About ten minutes later.

Yu Dazhang put down the documents in his hand and then looked around the room.

By this time, most people had finished reading the document and had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

After waiting a while longer and seeing that everyone had finished reading the document, he then said:

"As usual, feel free to raise any questions or discover any doubts. Let's brainstorm and discuss them together."

It's definitely faster and more comprehensive for everyone to get together and study the case than for one person to consider it from multiple perspectives.

Moreover, Yu Dazhang didn't want to start losing his hair in his twenties.

“I have a question,” one of the officers said, raising his hand.
"According to the confessions of these factory owners, they also had to pay wages to these mentally disabled people."

"Salaries start from 1,000, and can reach 2,000, averaging around 1,500."

"Such low monthly salaries may indeed benefit the bosses, but what about the criminal organization's interests?"

"After all that effort—catching people, training them, transporting them—it's all for a mere 1,500 yuan a month?"

After he finished speaking, many people in the meeting room frowned and pondered, clearly calculating the profits involved.

"He just blurts things out without thinking..." Yu Dazhang glanced at the police officer who had spoken, somewhat speechless.

It's only 1,500 yuan.

Don't you know how much you earn in a month?
From the factory owner's perspective, this monthly salary is indeed very low.

It's already difficult to recruit people for heavy manual labor, and nowadays few young people are willing to do manual work.

They would rather earn less and work in a factory tightening screws than choose this backbreaking job.

Moreover, in today's society, the wages for those who do heavy physical labor are even higher than those for most white-collar workers.

For example, it's not difficult for porters carrying loads, cement workers, and truck unloaders at freight yards to earn a thousand yuan a day.

You read that right, it's earning a thousand a day.
