Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 360: A Little Too Smooth
"We have pinpointed the approximate location of the other party," the technical officer said calmly.

He pointed to the computer screen, which displayed a map with a small red dot flashing on it.

"Since the other party's GPS was turned off, we could only use cell tower positioning."

The police officer explained:
“The previous call lasted for more than a minute, which allowed us to obtain a lot of data.”

"Through the analysis and processing of this data, we have minimized the range of error to the greatest extent possible."

Yu Dazhang stared at the map on the computer screen, his eyes gleaming:

"What is the margin of error?"

"Between 150 and 200 meters," the officer replied.
"As long as the other party's cell phone has a signal, we can keep track of his approximate location."

The error wasn't too big... Yu Dazhang estimated it in his mind.

This margin of error is sufficient to observe the opponent's movement trajectory.

"Where is the other side located now?" Yu Dazhang asked, staring at the red dot on the map.

This electronic map is updated in real time, and since he was unfamiliar with Province N, he could not determine the exact location of the target using this map.

"In the suburbs of Jianning."

The officer zoomed out the map to show the entirety of Jianning, then pointed to the red dot and said:

"When we first located the other party, they were in this position and hadn't moved at all."

Zhang Chao is also in Jianning!

This was something Yu Dazhang hadn't expected.

When Wang Hao spoke with Zhang Chao before, Zhang Chao's tone didn't sound like he was in the local area, or even in N province.

"They've made a move!"

As the officer spoke, he quickly zoomed in on the map and stared at the red dot, saying:

"Judging from their movements, they are moving into the city."

They actually came... Yu Dazhang didn't expect the other party to make a move so quickly.

At a time like this, it's incredibly risky for someone to personally come and pick up Wang Hao.

Even if Zhang Chao is brainless, what about the person behind him?
Didn't even that person realize the risk?
Two possibilities:

1. Wang Hao is very important to them.

It was so important that they were willing to take risks to move it safely.

2. This is a flaw they deliberately revealed.

Lure the snake out of its hole.

The purpose was to test Wang Hao's current true state.

wrong.

None of them are right.

Yu Dazhang quickly dismissed both possibilities.

Neither possibility is worth risking Zhang Chao's life.

Did they really not see anything?

Even if Zhang Chao sensed something was amiss, he wouldn't personally come to pick up Wang Hao.

Yu Dazhang shook his head, temporarily putting aside his doubts, and then said to the technical officer:

"I need to trouble you to come with me on a field mission. I need to keep track of the other party's movements at all times."

"Okay, no problem." The officer agreed and immediately got up to organize the equipment.

Twenty minutes later.

Yu Dazhang led the technical officers to Wang Hao's residence.

This is an open residential community with no security guards or access control.

Wang Hao's home is located in the center of the residential complex. It is a multi-story building with six floors, and Wang Hao lives on the third floor.

Upon entering the house, Yu Dazhang surveyed the interior, finding it extremely luxurious, with all the furniture brand new.

The TV, wardrobe, and everything else were all the latest models, and the floor was polished to a shine.

From the outside, no one would guess that the interior of the seemingly dilapidated neighborhood would look like this.
What surprised him most was that there was actually a live-in nanny in the house.

The house has only two bedrooms, and Wang Hao lives there alone, but he has also hired a housekeeper.

You really know how to enjoy life!
I wonder if this nanny is decent or not.

"Why did you choose this neighborhood?"

Yu Dazhang didn't quite understand Wang Hao's thought process.

Judging from his home's decor, he's not short of money, yet he chose to live in this old neighborhood.

The contrast between the inside and outside is just too great.

"It's convenient to travel," Wang Hao replied.

“The older the neighborhood, the more entrances and exits there are. I’ve lived in upscale neighborhoods before, but I just never felt safe.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhang immediately understood where the problem lay.

The targets of prevention are different.

When ordinary people have money, their first choice for buying a house is definitely a high-end community, not only because of the good environment, but also because of the good security measures.

They are guarding against criminals.

Wang Hao is a criminal, so he is wary of the police.

Then naturally, he wouldn't choose a place where the cow would suffocate; a place with only one entrance and exit would give him the feeling of being trapped like a turtle in a jar.

No matter how good the security measures are, it's useless. As soon as the police arrive, the security guards will immediately cooperate with the police to arrest him.

"You've thought things through quite thoroughly." Yu Dazhang glared at him.

In that case, the dozen or so criminal police officers from the provincial department wouldn't be enough.

However, he believed that the provincial department would contact the special police for support. Such collaborative case handling often happens, and they have their own emergency measures.

"Where is the other party?" Yu Dazhang asked the police officer from the technical department.

"We've entered the city." The officer had already placed his laptop on the table and unfolded it, displaying the electronic map from before.

He quickly performed a few operations, and then said:

"Judging from their movement trajectory and speed, they will arrive at our community in about ten minutes."

They came pretty fast… Yu Dazhang recalled.

When they were at the Municipal Bureau, they rushed here as soon as the target moved. It took them twenty minutes on the way, and including other time, it took less than half an hour.

The other party was driving from the suburbs, and their speed was already quite fast.

This shows that the other party did not hesitate at all, and was even somewhat eager.

He glanced at the police walkie-talkies carried by Lü Zhongxin and his team, thought for a moment, and finally took out his phone and dialed.

Since Qi Fang was put in charge of the operation, it was no longer appropriate for Yu Dazhang to issue orders to the provincial police officers.

Moreover, he was new and not clear about the specific deployment details.

The worst thing to do at this time is to give orders haphazardly. An order from an outsider can easily disrupt the original rhythm and increase the burden on the personnel.

After the call connected, Yu Dazhang quickly said:
"The target vehicle will arrive at the community in a few minutes. After locking onto the target, do not take action. Wait for Wang Hao to confirm that it is correct before making the arrest."

"Understood," Qi Fang replied, then reported:
"Special police officers are also in place and have been disguised and concealed, which can ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Absolutely foolproof? Yu Dazhang felt it was a bit too early to say that.

During the investigation, he didn't even trust himself, let alone believe in anything that was foolproof.

In his view, the situation could change at any time, and that's the norm.

Moreover, his opponent this time is not an individual, but a gang.

"Be careful," Yu Dazhang advised.
"I always felt that the other party wouldn't be fooled so easily."
