Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 351 Hua Zi didn't smoke for nothing.
"Officer, why are you looking at me like that?"

Even in this environment, Wang Hao still felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by Yu Dazhang.

His eyes looked like those of a lecherous man who had been holding back for a long time, suddenly seeing a beautiful new bride.

"Oh, it's nothing." Yu Dazhang said with a smile.

"Smoking?"

Wang Hao wanted to nod, but seeing the look in his eyes, he held back.

"No, thank you." He raised his hand, refusing.

For some reason, he had a feeling that the fat man wasn't smoking for nothing.

"Quite polite." Yu Dazhang smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and waved it in front of him.

"Hua Zi, you'll regret it if you don't smoke him."

Looking at the cigarette pack in the fat man's hand, Wang Hao hesitated.

At times like these, the allure of cigarettes is immense, yet he dares not let his guard down.

He had a vague feeling that the fat man in front of him was a little different from the other policemen.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

"Well..." Wang Hao stammered, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Why not smoke some good cigarettes? Have one."

Yu Dazhang smiled, stood up, walked over to him, and lit a cigarette for him.

After sitting back down, he stared at Wang Hao and said:

“The photos need to be taken on the spot, so it will take some time. I know you need to confirm that Hong Liuwen’s daughter has been rescued before you can make a decision.”

"But before that, we can talk about something else."

His words successfully caught Wang Hao's attention.

"What do you want to talk about?" Wang Hao asked.

"Let's talk about the city of Jianning," Yu Dazhang said casually.
"You should be able to tell that I'm not from N province, so I don't know much about this area."

He paused for a moment, then continued:

“When you first started setting up operations in Yancheng, you were bringing people here from Jianning, which means that your operations in Jianning started earlier than here.”

Yu Dazhang's gaze fell on the other person, seemingly observing his reaction, before he continued speaking.

"And the fact that you later stayed in Jianning for a long time is enough to prove that you value this place very much."

"So I'm very curious, why is Jianning, a third-tier city, worth your so much attention?"

His deduction was based on existing information, and although it seemed simple, it left no room for the other party to refute it.

If we continue to deduce, we can further speculate on the other party's intentions, but Yu Dazhang did not do so.

He wanted Wang Hao to answer this question.

The conclusions you draw yourself need to be verified by the other party.

"You really don't know?"

Wang Hao's expression was somewhat complicated as he looked at Yu Dazhang with suspicion.
"If you know a little about Jianning, you'll understand why."

Yu Dazhang smiled:
"I already said I'm not from around here. If I knew anything about this area, I wouldn't need to ask you."

This is a good start; he's using this method to sort things out.

Currently, this is undoubtedly the most suitable entry point.

"Market demand," Wang Hao replied.
"Jianning is one of the eight newly established key industrial cities in China and is the industrial pearl of N Province."

"In recent years, a large number of companies have flocked here to build houses and factories, and the amount of manpower required is naturally enormous."

"Of these manual laborers, heavy physical labor is indispensable and accounts for a large proportion."

He answered readily, seemingly without any psychological pressure.

This information can be inferred. Jianning, as a key industrial city, is well-known for its status and importance in N Province.

This is no secret to the locals in N province.

So whether he says it or not, it doesn't affect the police's understanding of this information; his answer just lets Yu Dazhang and the others know in advance.

"An industrial gem?"

Yu Dazhang looked somewhat surprised, seemingly not quite believing such a statement, and then he continued on his own:
"In my opinion, Yancheng Industrial Zone is already big enough. Jianning is also a third-tier city, so how much bigger can it get?"

His words carried a tone of skepticism, sounding almost like regional discrimination, which would instinctively make people uncomfortable.

"You actually compared Yancheng Industrial Zone with Jianning?"

Wang Hao was so angry he laughed:

"It seems you really don't understand at all."

"Jianning has a total of 10 industrial zones, including 1 national-level development zone and 5 provincial-level development zones, as well as 4 provincial-level industrial clusters."

“Even one of them is far superior to those in Yancheng Industrial Zone.”

"Not to mention that one national-level development zone is equivalent to at least five Yancheng Industrial Zones."

After saying this, he unconsciously revealed a proud expression, as if he were proud of the city of Jianning.

How could Yu Dazhang be completely unaware of such important information?

In fact, when those three "feet" revealed that the handover point was at the border between Yancheng and Jianning, he had already gained a comprehensive understanding of the city of Jianning.

One of the key focuses is on industrial development.

However, some things can only be considered evidence if the other party says them out loud.

"If that's the case, then the labor demand in Jianning is at least ten times that of Yancheng."

Yu Dazhang looked as if he had just realized something:

"What you just said, one of the national-level development zones is equivalent to five Yancheng Industrial Zones."

“The other nine industrial zones are all larger than Yancheng’s, more than ten times larger if you count them.”

He had already calculated that, in terms of industrial development alone, Yancheng and Jianning were incomparable.

If he were to choose, he would definitely focus on Jianning.

"You could say that," Wang Hao nodded.

"After all, Jianning's industrial development started earlier and has a good foundation, which meets the basic conditions for rapid development."

It must be said that as a local, he has more authority to speak on Jianning and knows more comprehensively about the area.

To his surprise, the fat man opposite him suddenly frowned after he said that.

"So, you laid out the city based on its level of industrial development."

Yu Dazhang's face darkened, and his tone turned cold:
"Based on this calculation, you must have started sending cheap laborers to Jianning long ago, even several years earlier than Yancheng."

This sentence sounded like it was squeezed out between teeth.

He spoke slowly, each word revealing a hint of anger.

"Moreover, the demand in Yancheng is very small for you, and it is nothing compared to Jianning."

"That's why you've stayed in Jianning for so long and haven't paid much attention to Yancheng."

Yu Dazhang's tone became increasingly stern, creating an invisible pressure on everyone.

He paused for a moment, then continued:
"This time, we rescued more than 300 mentally disabled laborers in Yancheng. What about Jianning?"

"The demand for labor here is ten times, even twenty times..."

Finally, Yu Dazhang's voice became somewhat low, even carrying a hint of fear:
"I can't even imagine the exact number, and this..."

"Just two cities!"
