Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 374 She's quite talkative.
The woman spoke quickly, clearly having mastered these matters.

She will probably never forget the grievances her son suffered at school.

"So that's why he's been fighting in school since he was little?"

Yu Dazhang was not affected by his emotions; on the contrary, he became even calmer.

Although children's words are said to be innocent and harmless, they can also be the most hurtful at times.

He often got into fights with his classmates when he was a child, and he was the type who would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.

It wasn't that Yu Dazhang was particularly violent, but rather that he noticed his classmates had become much friendlier towards him since he started fighting.

When he used real violence, the passive-aggressive behavior disappeared.

“That’s right, that’s why,” the woman said with absolute certainty.

“The child was very sensible when he was young, but he became rebellious after his father passed away.”

This isn't rebellion, is it...? Yu Dazhang suddenly felt that Zhang Chao's mother was a bit extreme.

She seems to be deliberately confusing right and wrong.

When faced with verbal abuse, taking action to resist is the most instinctive reaction for everyone.

Blindly giving in will only embolden the other party to take advantage of you.

Over time, the child will only become weaker and weaker, and the abuser will become more and more violent.

This is not a good thing for either side.

Finding a teacher is basically useless; in verbal conflicts between children, teachers can't really impose any substantial punishment.

It's not that teachers are trying to smooth things over, but parents these days are not easy to deal with.

If the punishment is too severe, the parents will come to the school and beat up the teacher.

In fact, this kind of thing happens quite often.

Yu Dazhang hesitated for a moment, then swallowed back the words he was about to say.

I came here to find out what's going on, and there's nothing for me to argue with her about.

"What caused Zhang Chao's father to die?" Yu Dazhang asked.

When Zhang Chao was six years old, his father was also quite old, so Yu Dazhang believed that his death must have been unnatural.

"Work injury".

The woman's voice was slightly low, and her expression was somewhat somber:
"Back then, his father was working in a machine processing factory when he was seriously injured in an accident. He was in the hospital for two days, but he still couldn't make it."

The woman's voice trembled slightly as she recalled that painful experience.

"Later, their supervisors, fearing responsibility, insisted that it was caused by the child's father's improper operation."

The woman's tone was filled with anger and helplessness:

"They also colluded with other employees to forge documents, which resulted in our workers' compensation not being paid in accordance with regulations."

“We have lost our loved ones, yet we still have to face this injustice.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhang did some mental calculations.

In 1988, I was still a protein.

That factory probably no longer exists, so the woman's words cannot be verified.

But judging from the woman's expression, she didn't seem to be lying, and there was no need to make up such a story.

"However, their supervisor also spoke with me privately."

The woman paused briefly before continuing:

"They agreed to give us a property as compensation, and this is the house that their company originally allocated to me."

She talks quite a lot... Yu Dazhang discovered that Zhang Chao's mother was a very good conversationalist.

I had only asked Zhang Chao how his father died, and she immediately told me a whole story.

She's showing some potential to be a chatterbox.

Could it be that she has been living alone for a long time and is so lonely and bored that she longs to communicate with others?
Yu Dazhang only thought about it in his heart and did not show it.

Women naturally enjoy chatting about everyday matters, especially older women.

There's nothing strange about that.

It was precisely because she was Zhang Chao's mother that Yu Dazhang thought about things more.

"Didn't Zhang Chao ever think about renovating the house?"

He wanted to ask as soon as he entered the house.

Even Wang Hao knew to renovate his house, so Zhang Chao certainly wasn't short of money. Moreover, the fact that Zhang Chao frequently returned here shows how much he loved his mother.

"What's the point of renovating an old house?"

The woman did not answer directly, but said vaguely:

"Besides, it's not easy for kids to earn money. They also have children to raise, so let's save where we can."

"A conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?" Yu Dazhang sensed a hint of helplessness in her words.

It seemed that in the woman's eyes, Zhang Chao and his wife focused all their energy on their child and neglected her, as the mother.

The woman's words also revealed that she was unaware that her son was very wealthy.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have said something about saving money for their children.

It's important to understand that the wealth Zhang Chao and his group possessed wasn't something they could accumulate simply by saving money.

"That's it for today."

Yu Dazhang stood up and said to the woman:

"If Zhang Chao comes back, you can contact me directly."

As he spoke, he took out a notebook from his bag, tore off a page, and wrote down a phone number.

"Don't worry, we'll consider it a confession then." Yu Dazhang handed over the piece of paper with the phone number written on it.

He knew in his heart that Zhang Chao would definitely not turn himself in.

For the crimes he committed, he definitely deserves to be shot.

But his mother didn't know, so this was a loophole for Zhang Chao.

The woman took the paper and nodded, but couldn't help asking:

"What exactly did Xiao Chao do wrong?"

"We can't be sure right now either." Yu Dazhang couldn't reveal the details of the case to her, so he could only give a vague answer:

Please understand.

After leaving, Yu Dazhang went downstairs, and immediately police officers from the provincial department came over.

He thought for a moment, then gave the order:

"Next stop: Guangzhou, Guangdong Province."

"So urgent?" The provincial police officers clearly hadn't expected this arrangement.
"We need to prepare for cross-provincial investigations."

The two places are more than 600 kilometers apart, and even by highway, it would take more than seven hours.

Moreover, when they are handling cases outside the province, they also need to report to their superiors.

"There's no need for that," Yu Dazhang said, waving his hand.

"My colleagues over there have already started working."

He is now the direct superior of these officers, and his words are orders.

After getting on the bus, he immediately took out his phone and called Qi Fang, informing him to take people to Guangzhou.

Qi Fang readily agreed; he now completely trusted Da Zhang.

There was still a bit of cleanup work to be done... Yu Dazhang called Team Leader Hua again.

"I took the task force to Yangcheng, D Province."

After the call connected, he said directly:

"I'll leave the coordination work to you. Also, once you've finished your work there, come over as soon as possible."

The rescue operation in Jianning was initially led by Captain Hua, so he is currently unable to leave.

"Cross-provincial investigation?"

The Chinese team was also surprised:
"That's too sudden. Has everything been taken care of here?"

He was familiar with the criminal organization's operational procedures, as Yu Dazhang had already explained them in detail at the meeting.

It was the Chinese team that deduced that the other side was arresting people in another province and then transferring them to N province.

However, Yu Dazhang did not mention that Ma Jian and his team were already staking out Guangzhou.

He didn't want to expose Ma Jian and his team too early, not because he didn't trust his colleagues in N Province, but out of a sense of caution.

It's always good to be cautious when you're out and about.

"We've checked everything that needed to be checked here," Yu Dazhang explained.
"Moreover, the other side is mainly on guard against this side. At present, Guangzhou is the best breakthrough point."
