Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 368 Direct Appointment! Unconditional Trust
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for Zheng Ting.

Because the rescue operation is scheduled for tomorrow, we must obtain all the information she has before the operation begins.

For example, the identity and hiding place of the undercover agents.

According to Da Zhang's estimation, she was more than 80% likely an undercover agent planted in Jianning by that organization.

There is a greater than 50% chance that they are leaders of those covert sentries.

If she guesses both of these points correctly, she has even more detailed information than Wang Hao does.

This information is only valid before the operation begins.

Once the operation begins, those sentries will certainly hide and wait for an opportunity to escape.

By then, it will be too late for Zheng Ting to cooperate.

Based on the information provided by Wang Hao, the police were able to accurately locate those factories and "feet".

With the provincial department's attention, tomorrow's operation is basically set.

The top official from the provincial department has come to oversee things; no matter how big the problem, someone will be there to protect you.

It's over for being reckless!

That night.

After Yu Dazhang and his two companions finished dinner and were about to return to the hotel, Captain Hua called Yu Dazhang.

"where?"

"On the way to the hotel."

Upon hearing Yu Dazhang's answer, the opposing team leader, Hua, remained silent for at least three seconds before asking:

"Didn't you know the big boss was coming today?"

"I know," Yu Dazhang said casually.

"With such a large-scale operation, the top leaders will definitely have to step in to coordinate it."

If it were a city's police force, Captain Hua could coordinate and handle the situation, after all, he is the deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, so his rank is considerable.

Just like the incident in Yancheng Industrial Zone, Team Hua made excellent arrangements, and the cooperation between the various police units was also very smooth.

But when it comes to joint operations between several cities, he is clearly not up to the task.

Even if the commander-in-chief came, he wouldn't be able to coordinate an operation of this scale.

A snake cannot walk without a head, and a person cannot live in a group without a head.

Only the top leader of the provincial department could control the situation and ensure that the various police departments could cooperate in an orderly manner.

"Since you know this, why did you still go back to the hotel?" Captain Hua said irritably.
"Come to the Municipal Bureau. A high-ranking leader is coming to meet with the personnel in charge of our case in a little while."

I'm from out of town, there's no need for that... Yu Dazhang felt that it didn't matter whether he met her or not, given his level.

The difference in their levels is too great, and they can't even have a proper conversation.

Instead of going there bowing and scraping and putting on airs, it's better to go back and rest earlier.

"I'll pass," Yu Dazhang refused.
"The big boss doesn't know me, and besides, I'm not one of your people. Let's leave this opportunity to show our faces to you."

Unexpectedly, Team Hua said:
“He knows you and has mentioned you several times. Actually, he came here mainly to see you.”

Yu Dazhang: ? ? ? ?
Are you kidding me?

Am I so famous now?

The provincial department head not only knows me, but has mentioned me several times. Who are you kidding?
Seeing that Da Zhang remained silent, Team Leader Hua continued:

"Do you think I would joke about something like this? Come on, the big boss is almost here."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhang dared not delay and immediately ordered Zhang Sen to turn around and head towards the Municipal Bureau.

If the other party doesn't know who you are, it doesn't matter whether you go or not.

But this high-ranking leader not only knows me, but also came all the way here to meet me. It would be too impolite to refuse him.

To put it bluntly: they don't know what's good for them.

Upon arriving at the Municipal Bureau, Yu Dazhang and his two companions rushed to the conference room, only to find they were too late.

The meeting room was already full of people.

The head of the table was a middle-aged man in a black police uniform, who looked to be in his fifties. He had gray hair, a serious and imposing face, and a pair of sharp eyes that gleamed with a fearsome light.

Yu Dazhang glanced at the police rank on his shoulder, seemingly casually.

A silver olive branch and three four-pointed star flowers. First-Class Police Inspector!
I wonder if I'll ever reach that level in my lifetime... Yu Dazhang sighed inwardly.

He didn't even dare to look the other person in the eye, and went to find a seat with his head down.

"I saved a seat for you."

It was Hua who spoke, pointing to an open spot on the opposite side:
"There."

Yu Dazhang looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that the empty seat was right next to the head of the table.

You think highly of me... Yu Dazhang felt his heels were going numb.

You can tell from their police ranks that the person standing next to the top leader is the captain of the Criminal Investigation Department.

If I were sitting across from this person, wouldn't I be on the same level as him?

Go crazy.

Just as he hesitated, Lü Zhongxin and Zhang Sen brushed past him and quickly found two seats to sit down in the direction below.

"Sit down."

The top leader spoke, his gaze towards Yu Dazhang carrying a profound meaning:
"Don't keep everyone waiting."

That look in your eyes sends chills down your spine.

But when Yu Dazhang saw that look in his eyes, he calmed down instead.

He walked around the conference table, went to the empty seat, pulled out a chair, and sat down without saying a word.

"From today onwards, the task force is officially established."

The senior leader's voice rang out, his gaze sweeping across the meeting room before finally settling on Yu Dazhang:

"Because Da Zhang is the head of the task force."

Then he turned to look at Team Hua:
"Hua Kaiquan serves as the deputy head of the task force, and the team members include..."

He read out more than a dozen names in a row, including Lü Zhongxin and Zhang Sen.

Something's not right... Yu Dazhang quickly realized.

This isn't a meeting; the top leader is here to set up a special task force, and he didn't even leave room for discussion before making the appointments.

It's obvious they've already discussed it.

Once the special task force is established, the concept of collaborative case handling will no longer exist, which means that Province N has taken over the case.

Yu Dazhang was already mentally prepared for this.

To his surprise, the top leader made him the team leader.

This means they don't intend to let him go back... Yu Dazhang realized that they had even blocked his way out.

It's not just about taking on cases; the people involved also need to stay.

After the senior leader finished reading the names, he looked at Yu Dazhang again, this time with a meaningful and scrutinizing gaze:
"I believe you can lead everyone to solve this heinous crime."

"Not necessarily..." Yu Dazhang replied seriously.
"Boss, my abilities only qualify me to be a deputy team leader, so you see..."

This case is different from the previous finger amputation cases.

When he was in S Province, he only needed to solve cases; there was nothing he needed to coordinate.

However, this case requires coordination from too many parties, and his level is not suitable for this kind of work.

"I understand your concerns."

The senior leader said in a deep voice:
"You can hand over any difficulties you encounter here to Team Leader Hua. If he can't handle them, you can contact me directly."

Upon hearing this, all the police officers present showed expressions of surprise.

Even the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division had an incredulous expression on his face.

Such trust?!
It seems like this is their first time meeting.

This is the head of the provincial department; his words are equivalent to orders.

The reactions of these people show that the top leader has never said such a thing to anyone.

On the provincial department side, only Team Leader Hua's expression remained unchanged.

He had seen Yu Dazhang's file before, so he fully understood the big boss's actions.

Some people deserve to be valued.
