Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 367 I'll Be the Villain
This isn't my area of ​​expertise... Yu Dazhang was starting to get anxious.

He really didn't have much experience in this area.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"There's no mistake." Qu Tuotuo's voice was resolute:

“I used to work for a financial company abroad, and the boss of that company was later arrested for illegal transactions.”

"This includes operations to launder funds, such as frequent transfers of large sums of money in and out, and the use of cryptocurrencies and coin mixing techniques to cover up the real path."

This is experience... Although Yu Dazhang didn't quite understand, he still managed to grasp some of it after listening to Qu Tuotuo's eloquent explanation.

It was precisely because she had similar experiences before that she was able to make a quick and accurate judgment this time.

"Call the police."

After much deliberation, Yu Dazhang felt this was the best solution:

"If it's inconvenient for you, just send me the evidence you have so far, and I'll call the police."

He was also considering Qu Tuotuo's family's situation.

Putting righteousness before family is not as simple as it seems.

Moreover, even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes, which often involve numerous emotional entanglements.

If Qu Tuotuo were to report it himself, his mother would definitely not be able to accept it.

Therefore, it would be better to let him be the villain.

At least for now, Yu Dazhang and Qu Tuotuo are not married, so theoretically he is still an outsider.

"That's one way."

Qu Tuotuo had clearly considered the implications, but his voice still betrayed some hesitation.

"However, I don't have any concrete evidence right now. Give me a few more days, and I'll give you the solid evidence I have."

"Stop investigating." Yu Dazhang said anxiously.

“You only have knowledge in this area, but you don’t have investigative experience. This kind of thing should be left to professionals.”

After he finished speaking, he thought about it in his mind.

It seems I don't know anyone in the Economic Crime Investigation Department.

He did have a few of his superiors' phone numbers saved, but he knew that those people didn't leave their numbers for him to report crimes to the police.

Besides, he was just a junior criminal investigator who went directly to the economic crime investigation department to report the case, which was like being on the stove and the kang (heated brick bed) – he didn't know the proper etiquette.

He can't afford to owe this favor.

So, when it comes to this kind of thing, you should find someone in your own department.

"How about this."

After making up his mind, Yu Dazhang instructed Qu Tuotuo:

"I'll have my colleagues from the Economic Crime Investigation Department contact you later. You just need to cooperate with them on the specifics."

He believed that Qu Tuotuo would not refuse cooperation between the police and the public.

"Understood." As expected, Qu Tuotuo readily agreed.

"Then I'll wait for your colleague to call me."

The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up the phone.

Yu Dazhang then called Li Jun.

Even if you owe someone a favor, you have to follow the procedures, and the team leaders need to communicate better.

After the call connected, he got straight to the point:

"Captain Li, I've discovered something with my girlfriend, and I need the Economic Crime Investigation Department to get involved in the investigation."

Yu Dazhang then recounted the whole story.

He still trusted Li Jun, so he didn't hide anything from him.

He also truthfully told her all his concerns about Qu Tuotuo.

"I see."

After listening to his story, Li Jun calmly said:
"Send me your girlfriend's contact information later."

After giving that one instruction, he changed the subject:
How's the situation on your end?

Yu Dazhang knew that Captain Li would definitely ask about the progress on his side, so he had already made preparations.

He gave a concise explanation, adding his own analysis.

"More than 300 people have been rescued!" Li Jun exclaimed in surprise.

"If this investigation continues, this case will become an unimaginable mess."

More than three hundred people are just a small fraction... Yu Dazhang didn't mention the next action plan.

This is a matter of discipline. The next steps cannot be revealed to anyone other than the investigators; every criminal investigator understands this rule.

Actually, this was all for Li Jun's own good.

If the operation fails, Li Jun will be suspected of leaking secrets.

Making a phone call and suddenly becoming a suspect—isn't that unfair?

Therefore, Li Jun did not ask any further questions after Yu Dazhang finished speaking.

"It's too early to say," Yu Dazhang said vaguely.

"However, the officers in N Province are taking this case very seriously, and the cooperation between the various police departments is also very good."

These words were meant to reassure Li Jun.

Although he was in charge of the case here, he didn't need to participate in the actual operation.

Never put yourself in danger.

Li Jun couldn't help but remind him again:

"A qualified criminal police officer must be calm and rational, and a strong sense of responsibility and vigilance are very important."

Yu Dazhang felt a warmth in his heart and immediately replied:

"I know, I know, I'll be careful."

The next day.

Support from other cities arrived one after another, and the city police's interrogation was also intensified.

Wang Hao recorded all the information about the "feet" on his laptop at home, which also contained detailed information about various factories.

After the investigators located him, they verified each of his details with Wang Hao.

This information is not just for Jianning city, but for the entire N province.

Just as Hua had predicted, this criminal organization only supplied cheap laborers to N province, making its target very clear.

That afternoon, the head of the provincial department and the captain of the criminal investigation team also arrived in Jianning.

Discussions were held among the various police departments regarding a joint operation.

Does the top leader have to come in person?

That's going too far.

Based on the current situation, the rescue operation has expanded to the entire province.

However, Jianning has the most cheap labor and the longest development time, making it a primary target for crackdown.

In cases like these, the ministry will eventually send someone to provide guidance and supervision, and coordinate the handling of the case.

The day passed in a flurry of activity, and the case unfolded much as Yu Dazhang had predicted.

The only thing that surprised him was that Zheng Ting still didn't say anything.

No matter how the provincial police officers questioned her, she remained silent and refused to give any explanation.

This is not a good situation... Yu Dazhang knows where the problem lies.

Zheng Ting's experience is different from that of most people; she grew up in an orphanage.

In the orphanage, the children's lives are filled with uncertainty and caution.

This insecurity makes them value emotional connections with their peers more and crave recognition and care.

They also gain a sense of belonging and security by helping others.

To put it simply: it means being loyal to someone.

Conversely, children who are spoiled from a young age tend to be more selfish when they grow up.

This is a psychological change brought about by experience, as well as the influence of the living environment.

"Let's get our colleagues from the preliminary investigation team here," Yu Dazhang said to Qi Fang.
"There's not much time left; we must take it down as soon as possible."

Industry specializing in surgery.

There are also many different specialties within the police force.

In the area of ​​interrogation, the most professional are the pre-trial investigators.

Pre-trial investigators often collaborate with criminal investigators, who focus on case investigation, while pre-trial investigators focus on confessions and the integrity of the evidence chain.

If a stubborn criminal is encountered and the criminal police are unable to break through, then an experienced pre-trial investigator must take over.

Yu Dazhang smiled as he looked at Zheng Ting on the monitor screen in the observation room.

They really know how to struggle.

The more you struggle, the more excited your colleagues in the preliminary investigation become.
