Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 366 There are also bottom lines when solving cases.
That seems to be the case.

Zhang Sen felt much more at ease now. He had been a little worried before, but now he was completely relaxed.

As a criminal investigator, you should try to avoid doing unnecessary work.

The workload is already heavy enough; there's no need to work like a slave just to please others.

In fact, Yu Dazhang was more anxious than anyone else. He couldn't wait to solve the case immediately and return to Songhai.

When your girlfriend is being targeted by someone else, what man can sleep soundly in such a situation?

If one is magnanimous in this regard, wouldn't that make one a born cuckold?

But there's no use in rushing now; he has to give the provincial department some time.

The most important thing now is not interrogation and arrest, but rescuing those cheap laborers.

Today's actions represent a major breakthrough for the entire case.

Wang Hao was arrested in the morning, and Zheng Ting was arrested in the afternoon.

Although Zhang Chao was not caught, his identity was exposed.

Next, it will be the Chinese team's turn to act.

Zhang Chao must know that Wang Hao has been arrested, and with Zheng Ting's capture, there's no need for Jianning to keep it a secret anymore.

During the previous meeting, Yu Dazhang asked Team Hua to prepare for the rescue operation, precisely because he was afraid of giving others ammunition to criticize him.

This step means that the rescue operation was carried out immediately.

Some of you might not understand.

Why not wait until the case is solved before rescuing those mentally disabled people?
This way, we won't alert the enemy.

We shouldn't have rushed to rescue the Yancheng Industrial Zone either.

We should go undercover and follow the clues from the factory owner and "foot" to catch the main culprit.

If Yu Dazhang really made that arrangement, he definitely wouldn't be able to stay in his position as a criminal police officer.

Let's say that.

What if the case remains unsolved?

Those cheap laborers will just keep doing the work.

If this case remains unsolved, those low-paid workers will have to do this job for the rest of their lives.

Give another example.

Looking at those bank robberies, is solving the case more important, or rescuing the hostages?
Isn't it much clearer now?

If the on-site commander were to say, "Never mind the hostages for now, let's solve the case first,"...

Anyone who dares to give such an order will be dismissed from their post immediately.

Solving cases is important, but we cannot resort to any means to do so.

#Always prioritize safeguarding the lives and property of the people#
Does this sentence sound familiar?
It's clearer now, isn't it?

That's right, this is the bottom line!
When they were in Yancheng, Yu Dazhang and his men chose to stake out the area first, which was already crossing the line.

Fortunately, the Chinese team did not participate in the stakeout, but instead focused on preparing for the rescue operation.

Therefore, that incident can be interpreted as the investigation and rescue taking place simultaneously.

This time, Yu Dazhang made the same arrangement, and he and Team Hua have now developed a tacit understanding.

Therefore, the provincial department was eager for him to relax a bit, so as to give Hua's team enough time.

That's rhythm.

Cooperation is not just about what's obvious; it also requires synchronizing actions to ensure everything goes smoothly.

As Yu Dazhang predicted, reinforcements from other cities would arrive in Jianning tomorrow.

With such a large-scale operation, the various police departments would definitely need to hold meetings to discuss the specific plans, and even the route of the operation would need to be discussed.

Therefore, no action will be taken tomorrow.

The main problem was insufficient preparation time.

If it's counter-terrorism, there's no need for preparation time; just get started.

However, rescue operations involve personnel safety issues and other factors, so there are many things to discuss, and the process is quite complex.

"Wang Hao is going to suffer these next few days."

Yu Dazhang muttered to himself, recalling the moment he saw Wang Hao being interrogated just before he left the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

As the manager of all the "feet", Wang Hao's role is beyond question.

He also knew which factories used cheap labor, and even the specific number of workers.

He knew all the information about the feet.

Therefore, before the rescue operation, we must extract everything he knows, the more detailed the information, the better. And then there's Zheng Ting.

She must have played an important role in that criminal organization.

Otherwise, Zhang Chao wouldn't have entrusted her with such an important task.

"She must be a manager too."

Yu Dazhang murmured to himself, his mind racing as he filtered through all the possible management positions within the organization.

And considering what she did...

Hidden sentry!

Hiding in the residential building and secretly observing the movements downstairs from Wang Hao's house—isn't that what a sentry does?

"Does she control all the hidden sentries?"

This inference cannot be confirmed by Da Zhang; it can only be considered a hypothesis.

Just then, his phone, which was on the bedside table, suddenly rang.

He picked up his phone and saw that it was Qu Tuotuo calling. Yu Dazhang couldn't help but smile.

I was feeling down, so talking to her was a good way to cheer myself up.

After the call connected, he asked directly:

"Did you miss me?"

"Stop fooling around, I have something important to tell you." Qu Tuotuo's voice was somewhat urgent:

Do you remember the adopted son I told you about last time?

Why are we talking about him again...? Yu Dazhang now feels an instinctive aversion whenever he hears the word "adopted son".

What kind of good person would covet someone else's girlfriend?

"It hasn't been that long, of course I remember," he replied reluctantly.
"What happened to him?"

His aversion stemmed primarily from his inability to change the situation.

Regardless of the circumstances, Qu Tuotuo called that person "brother," and based on that relationship, Yu Dazhang couldn't go too far.

Moreover, due to the constraints of his police status, he couldn't privately cause trouble for that person.

“I looked into his newly opened company these past two days and found that their transaction model is very complicated.”

Fearing that Yu Dazhang might not understand, Qu Tuotuo added an explanation:
"That company used methods such as cross-border transfers and multi-layered corporate structures to diversify its funds."

"I also found that they had signed several dual contracts."

Tax evasion? Yu Dazhang was completely confused.

He knew absolutely nothing about finance.

As the saying goes: every profession is like a mountain to climb.

The reason I thought of tax evasion was because in my previous life I saw "Bingbing" being fined hundreds of millions of yuan for using dual contracts.

It wasn't that he was being nosy, but the gossip was just too big, and it was even quite educational.

"Didn't I tell you to leave it alone?"

Yu Dazhang's tone was somewhat reproachful; he was more concerned about Qu Tuotuo's safety than whether his adopted son was involved in a crime.

"I can't just ignore it."

Qu Tuotuo said helplessly:

“After all, he grew up in our family, and my mother has always treated him like her own son. With that relationship, I can’t just sit idly by.”

That's a difficult situation... From Qu Tuotuo's perspective, Yu Dazhang also felt that this matter couldn't be left unresolved.

If that adopted son really did something heinous, it could very well implicate the Qu family.

"You suspect his company is evading taxes?" Yu Dazhang decided to help her analyze the situation first.

"It doesn't look like tax evasion," Qu Tuotuo denied.
"In my opinion, his company is laundering money."

Laundering funds? This term was somewhat unfamiliar to Da Zhang.

But he reacted quickly.

The meaning of "bleaching" is easy to understand; it means to legalize something that is illegal.

and so……

In the business world, laundered funds become a more straightforward term when applied to economic crime investigation.

Money laundering!
