Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 355 My file, Fat Tiger's, is it open to just anyone?
Observation room.

Team leader Hua stared at the monitor screen, remaining silent for a long time, his expression complex beyond description.

Even after Yu Dazhang walked out of the interrogation room and disappeared from the screen, he still hadn't come back to his senses, as if he were lost in some kind of contemplation.

No one noticed that his hands were clenched into fists, and his knuckles were slightly white from the force.

At this moment, Wang Hao's words kept echoing in his mind...

"It can replace 20 Yancheng."

Upon hearing this sentence, he could no longer concentrate; his mind was completely occupied by it.

He also realized that the figure was a conservative estimate.

In the previous rescue operation, both special police and armed police were deployed.

What will be the scale this time?
It wasn't that he lacked imagination, but rather that he had never encountered an operation of this scale before.

He even felt that it was utter nonsense for such a thing to happen in China.

But what was happening now left him no choice but to believe it.

Having served as a police officer for nearly twenty years, Captain Hua thought he had seen all sorts of big scenes, but he was still taken aback by the case at hand.

"If I were the one leading the investigation into this case..." A thought involuntarily popped into Captain Hua's mind.

If the case is successfully solved, a first-class merit award is certain.

Not enough~
With such a big case, the "deputy" title on my position will be removed, and I will definitely be promoted to the head position within a year.

His career prospects are bright!
If I can think of these things, that fat guy must have thought of them too.

Despite his short tenure as a police officer, he is no stranger to experience.

But strangely, why did he not seem excited at all?
He's handled the case to this extent, how can he still be so calm?

Does he have no ambition at all, or has he simply taken all of this lightly?

The more Hua thought about it, the more something seemed off. In the end, he realized he understood this fat guy from another province even less.

"Team Leader Hua." Yu Dazhang was standing beside him without him noticing.

“You’re familiar with this area, so contact Jianning. That way we’ll have a place to stay when we get there.”

Hua Kaiquan immediately snapped out of his daze and subconsciously replied:

"Oh, good."

He then took out his phone and made some arrangements.

"We've already arranged with the other side; once we get to Jianning, we'll go straight to the Municipal Public Security Bureau," Captain Hua said to Da Zhang.
"From now on, you will be in charge of the provincial criminal police."

He delegated authority.

From this moment on, the provincial department officially intervened in the case, changing the relationship from cooperation to joint investigation.

If the provincial department only cooperates in handling such a big case, it will be laughed at in the end.

Just imagine.

Several criminal police officers from other provinces mobilized a large number of police forces and resources in N province to rescue tens of thousands of cheap laborers.

In the end, the provincial police only played an assisting role?

To put it bluntly, the provincial department put in a lot of manpower and effort, but in the end, they didn't get any credit whatsoever...

If this gets out, it won't just be a matter of losing face; it will raise questions about the competence of the higher-ups.

Therefore, when a case becomes large enough, it will naturally attract the attention of all parties involved.

This is not only because of the seriousness of the case itself, but also because of the interests and reputations of all parties involved.

In this situation, both the local police and higher authorities wanted to get involved in the case.

In fact, after the people were rescued from Yancheng Industrial Zone, the provincial department had already decided to intervene in the case.

The reason is simple: rescuing so many people at once is a huge achievement in itself.

No matter how far the case goes in the end, this achievement will always remain.

If the provincial department gets involved in this case, this achievement will be recognized at the provincial level.

After all, the operation was being carried out in N province, and the local police were the ones providing the manpower and resources. Yu Dazhang, of course, understood what Captain Hua meant, and he expressed his understanding.

After he left, Captain Hua did not go downstairs with him, but waited until he walked out of the observation room before taking out his phone and making a call:
"Boss, it's me, Hua Kaiquan."

"What is it?" The voice on the other end of the phone was calm and authoritative.

"That's right," Team Leader Hua said respectfully.

"I want to access the file of a colleague, a colleague from Songhai."

"You can handle this yourself." The person on the other end seemed very confused.
"There's no need for you to greet me."

Sensing the displeasure in his leader's tone, Team Leader Hua quickly explained:
“I tried, but the reply I got was that I didn’t have enough permissions. The other party’s information had already reached the level of confidentiality, but as far as I know, he is just a new recruit with less than a year of police experience.”

After their first meeting and subsequent briefing, Hua developed a strong interest in Da Zhang and attempted to access Da Zhang's files afterwards.

After all, the best way to understand someone is to look at their files, which is more polite than asking them in person.

At the time, the Chinese team didn't think too much about it; it was purely out of curiosity that they wanted to see what was so special about this excessively young and chubby guy.

To his surprise, someone of his level couldn't access the other party's file at all.

Logically speaking, given Hua's rank, he would be fully capable of accessing files and records of officers of the same rank, let alone a rookie officer.

This means that the fat man's file has a higher level of confidentiality than his own.

"You mean Yu Dazhang, right?"

The person on the other end immediately guessed who Hua was referring to, and judging from their tone, they knew even more:
“It’s not just you; even I have to apply to the department to see his file.”

Should we apply to the ministry?
Hua Kaiquan was stunned for a moment.

He quickly realized what was happening.

The level of secrecy has been reached to this extent?!

The person opposite is the head of the provincial department. Even someone of that rank can't directly access that fat man's file?
That's a bit far-fetched.

He also gleaned another meaning from the leader's words: the higher-ups had also tried to access Yu Dazhang's file.

“Well…” Hua stammered.

He wanted to know if they had finally gotten their hands on Yu Dazhang's file.

But he couldn't bring himself to ask.

If you've already been told it's a secret, and you still keep asking, it's hard not to suspect your ulterior motives.

"I'll send you his file later."

The tone on the other end was very serious:

"Remember, only you can see this. Delete it immediately after you're done. You know the confidentiality rules better than anyone else."

Clearly, the leadership made this decision out of necessity for handling the case.

In N Province, Team Hua is cooperating with Yu Dazhang in handling the case. This will enhance mutual understanding and facilitate the subsequent work.

"Understood, don't worry, boss."

After ending the call, Captain Hua immediately went downstairs and saw Yu Dazhang and his team's vehicle driving out of the municipal bureau compound.

He immediately got into the police car and said to the officer in the driver's seat:
"Follow."

He then opened his email on his phone and refreshed it every ten seconds or so.

About five minutes later, his eyes suddenly lit up because there was an unread email in his inbox.

He quickly opened the email and focused his attention on its contents.

As he looked at it, his eyes gradually became confused.

"This is……"

Hua's voice was very soft, as if he were talking to himself, but it also seemed like he was talking to someone else.

"Are you kidding me? This is a rookie officer's file!!"
