Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 353 If an acquaintance asks you to make a fortune, they're probably up to no good.
"Why aren't your family with you?" Yu Dazhang asked.

"You arranged it this way on purpose?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao smiled.

"You'll understand when you have children; nowadays, families are all centered around their children."

"If possible, we will naturally give our children a better education. In N Province, the best educational resources are concentrated in Xingcheng, a new first-tier city."

In Da Zhang's memory, Xingcheng seemed to be a second-tier city, at least in 2014.

When did it become a new first-tier city?

Is it self-proclaimed by the locals?

Moreover, he doesn't pay much attention to educational resources; he only knows that Xingcheng stinky tofu is famous.

Seeing Da Zhang's blank expression, Wang Hao continued to explain:

"My purpose in making money is to give my family a better life, so I bought a house for them in Changsha a long time ago."

"One more thing, I don't want my family, especially my children, to see me on the day I'm arrested."

That didn't get to the point... That's not what Yu Dazhang wanted to hear.

"Why do you think your family is in danger?" Yu Dazhang asked.

"Have they made similar threats against you?"

Wang Hao nodded after hearing this, but then shook his head:

"Although they haven't explicitly said what they'll do to my family, judging from their past behavior and methods..."

“If I can’t put them completely at ease, then my family will definitely suffer their revenge.”

"I guess you could say it's a tacit understanding between us."

Finally, Wang Hao reminded him urgently:

"So you have to hurry, once they find out I'm missing, they'll immediately try to take control of my family."

Yu Dazhang didn't say anything, but picked up his notebook and waved it in front of the camera.

Soon, a police officer came into the interrogation room and took away the notebook containing information about Wang Hao's family.

"Police officers from the nearby police station will be arriving at your home shortly."

Yu Dazhang's face revealed a confident expression:

"Within half an hour, your family members will be escorted by local criminal police to a safe location."

"I don't think the other party is efficient enough."

"You don't need to worry about safety at all. I've never seen anyone in China dare to challenge the police."

He wasn't exaggerating.

No matter how ruthless a criminal is, they all tremble at the sight of the police in China, let alone snatch someone from the police.

It can be said that as long as the police contact Wang Hao's family, they can guarantee their safety.

"Can I wait a little longer?" Wang Hao said in a pleading tone.

"Okay, no problem." Yu Dazhang agreed readily.

"A few more minutes won't make a difference."

He knew what Wang Hao was waiting for.

It's possible that his family members have already been kidnapped, although this possibility is very low, it is still possible.

In that case, Wang Hao really wouldn't dare to speak up easily.

A few minutes passed quickly, and a cell phone notification sound suddenly rang out in the quiet interrogation room.

Yu Dazhang took out his phone and glanced at it. It was a message from a provincial police officer in the observation room, containing a photo.

He didn't recognize any of the people in the photo.

Two uniformed police officers stood with an elderly couple who appeared to be around sixty years old, and a young boy beside them. Upon reaching the other side, Yu Dazhang held his phone screen in front of Wang Hao:
"Now you can rest assured."

In just one glance, the tense look on Wang Hao's face vanished without a trace, replaced by a smile:
"Yes, yes, thank you, thank you all."

With Hong Liuwen's example as a precedent, Wang Hao now has no doubt about Da Zhang's abilities.

Moreover, this is in the country, where animals are not allowed to become spirits.

"The local criminal police will then arrange for them to go to a safe location," Yu Dazhang explained.
"Since the other party does not know their address, they cannot pose a threat to them."

"When we can return to normal life depends on when the case can be solved."

His meaning was clear: only by taking down that organization can your family be truly safe.

"I understand." Wang Hao was a smart man and understood immediately.

Yu Dazhang lit another cigarette for him and then said:
"Start from when you first came into contact with this criminal organization, and try to be as detailed as possible."

Wang Hao nodded, but didn't speak immediately. Instead, he took two deep drags on his cigarette, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Eleven years ago, at the end of 2003, my childhood friend Zhang Chao from the same village suddenly approached me and said he wanted to help me make a fortune."

“At that time, he had already moved away for two years. Back when his family lived in the village, they were a wealthy household, so I believed him without a doubt.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhang immediately interrupted:
"You mean, Zhang Chao suddenly came back to the village to find you two years after he moved away?"

This point must be made clear.

Anything involving the three elements of time, place, and people cannot be taken lightly.

"Yes," Wang Hao nodded.

“We lost contact during the two years he moved away, and we don’t even have each other’s contact information.”

His tone was somewhat wistful, as if he were recalling the scene from back then.

“I was quite touched back then. I thought he came back to find me because he remembered our childhood friendship.”

"It's quite ridiculous now that I think about it. If we really had any feelings for each other, they wouldn't have cut off all contact with me after leaving the village."

At this point, Wang Hao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh:
"But I was only 21 years old at the time. My ideas were naive and innocent. Going to the city felt like going abroad. I was just inexperienced."

Why are you even making excuses for yourself...? Yu Dazhang urged:
"Go on."

Why not just ask Wang Hao's superior directly?

That depends on the type of case.

For criminal organizations that operate for a long period of time, it is necessary to first understand their organizational structure and then develop effective countermeasures.

Even when making arrests, it's necessary to plan ahead and deploy resources in advance; you can't just act on a whim.

A person only has one life. If a criminal police officer is not careful in his work, he may lose his life in the blink of an eye.

“At first, I was only responsible for picking up people in Jianning. Zhang Chao arranged for people to take those mentally disabled people to the suburbs, where I would hand them over and then send them to the designated factory.”

Wang Hao continued:

"Back then, I was the only one responsible for driving and picking people up and dropping them off. The number of people I picked up and dropped off was not fixed. Sometimes there might only be two or three people, while other times there would be more than ten."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhang immediately made a judgment in his mind.

Originally, there was no underground prison.

The reason is simple: after training, people with intellectual disabilities are grouped into groups of eight.

Both Fang Peng and the three "feet" mentioned this point in their confessions.

Such a chaotic method of transportation is clearly not the style of that underground prison.

However, Yu Dazhang did not interrupt Wang Hao, but instead memorized the very first year in his mind.

"About a year later, I noticed that the number of people being sent started to become more regular."

As Wang Hao recalled, he continued:
"Each time it's based on eight people, either eight or sixteen, and the most is twenty-four, in short, it's always a multiple of eight."
