Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 387 Find it out in front of you

A short while later, all the surveillance cameras in the resort were removed, including those at the pig farm below.

At this moment, two technicians walked over and reported to the leader:

"The resort's surveillance system is networked, and the data is encrypted and uploaded to the cloud, where it can be viewed in real time via mobile phones, computers, and other devices."

Another technician then added:

"The pig farm's monitoring system is not connected to the internet; it only supports recording and local playback, and has no remote interaction capability."

Just as I expected... Yu Dazhang was overjoyed.

This is consistent with his previous deduction.

Since the resort is their eyes and ears, there's no need to connect the pig farm's surveillance system to the internet.

This is also for the purpose of disguise.

The pig farm was built there purely for show; its main purpose was to conceal the entrance to the underground prison.

Why didn't Fang Peng smell the pig manure?

Yu Dazhang couldn't help but think of this question again.

Did Fang Peng lie?
will not.

He was the one who interrogated Fang Peng personally, and he remembered Fang Peng's demeanor clearly when he confessed; it didn't seem like he was lying.

Besides, Fang Peng had no reason to lie about this.

Let's try a different approach.

Assuming Fang Peng wasn't lying, and the entrance was indeed in the pig farm, how did the other party manage to eliminate the smell?
That's the crux of the problem!

Yu Dazhang began to recall every word Fang Peng had said before.

During this time, a group of leaders, including President Long, stood quietly beside him without making a sound to disturb him.

Their purpose in coming here was to participate in the search operation, not to solve the case.

Moreover, among those present, only Yu Dazhang truly understood the case.

At this moment, apart from Boss Long and Team Leader Hua, all the other leaders cast curious glances at Da Zhang.

This fat guy is way too young.

Judging from this, he seems to be in charge of the case.

Then look at the two leaders of the Criminal Investigation Division; they are both standing aside, waiting for his orders.

The fat man stood there lost in thought, completely unaffected by his surroundings.

It's unbelievable that someone so young can be so composed.

Is this definitely a young man in his early twenties?
Just as they were wondering, Yu Dazhang made a move.

He slowly turned around, stared at the pig farm not far away, and commanded:
"Surround that pig farm and arrest the person in charge."

Upon hearing this, President Long frowned and asked:
"you sure?"

Searching and sealing off are both possible, but arresting people is a bit more complicated.

Especially in situations where there is no proof or evidence.

Even if you are cooperating with an investigation, you must have a sufficient reason.

Yu Dazhang nodded, his tone firm:
"Grasp!"

Just now, he figured out the problem.

After Fang Peng was transported here, he was carried for a while by two people.

This indicates that the truck did not park directly at the pig farm.

The reason for doing this is most likely to avoid the smell of pig manure.

If these mentally disabled people were to smell such a strong odor, the risk of exposure would undoubtedly increase when they were sent out in the future.

Therefore, the location where the truck stops will be determined based on the wind direction that day.

Odors are transmitted through the air.

If you park upwind of the pig farm, you won't smell the stench of pig manure.

And that hood.

According to Fang Peng's confession, he had a black cloth bag over his head before entering the underground prison.

The cloth bag not only blocks the view, but also isolates odors to some extent.

After Fang Peng got out of the car, all the other party had to do was tamper with the black cloth bag.

For example, you can squeeze the juice out of wild grass and apply it to the affected area.
In this way, the smell of grass and trees will mask the smell of pig manure.

Fang Peng did indeed smell the fresh scent of grass and trees. By using this trick every time he went in and out, the mentally challenged people naturally couldn't smell the stench.

In Yu Dazhang's view, this possibility is extremely high.

Soon, the police surrounded the pig farm and arrested the person in charge.

This is a middle-aged man, slightly overweight, who looks very fortunate.

But at this moment, he was covered in cold sweat, and his small eyes were filled with terror.

"Name?" Yu Dazhang didn't waste any words with him and asked directly.

The man immediately replied:

"Zhu Wenyue".

"Age?" Yu Dazhang asked again.

"44 years old," the man answered instinctively.

Yu Dazhang nodded in satisfaction and stared at him, saying:
"Now that we're here, we're bound to find the entrance to that place, but I hope you can tell me where it is."

The man remained silent and lowered his head.

"You only have one chance to confess," Yu Dazhang said through gritted teeth.

As he spoke, he was also observing the other person.

Seemingly afraid that Yu Dazhang would see his expression, the man lowered his head even further, and his body trembled slightly.

This reaction was enough to explain the situation... Yu Dazhang felt even more confident.

If he had nothing to hide, he wouldn't be this afraid.

This man was clearly the kind of person who had never committed a crime, and being suddenly surrounded by so many police officers, he was completely unable to calm down.

"Did not say?"

Yu Dazhang waited for a while, and seeing that he was still looking down, he simply waved his hand:

"You've missed your chance. I'll let you see for yourself how I found the entrance."

He wasn't just saying it out of anger.

Instead, he said it on purpose to observe the other person's reaction.

Sure enough, upon hearing Yu Dazhang's words, the man raised his head, a look of disbelief on his face, as if he couldn't quite believe it.

That's exactly the expression I wanted... Yu Dazhang didn't expect him to confess honestly anyway.

As the saying goes: people have a tendency to take chances.

If time permits, Yu Dazhang would be happy to play psychological games with him.

But that won't work now. There's still more than an hour until dark, so we have to find that entrance as soon as possible to give them enough time to make the arrest.

The police had previously inspected all the houses here, but found nothing unusual.

For a more thorough search, a shallow-depth detector was used this time.

This instrument cannot detect deep underground spaces, but it can find cavities close to the surface.

Starting from the pigsty, then moving to the nursery, farrowing house...

Finally, they even raided the staff's dormitories, and twenty minutes passed quickly.

"did not find?"

Yu Dazhang frowned as he listened to the officers' report.

He looked around the pig farm and finally fixed his gaze on a steel-structured building.

"Why wasn't there an inspection there?" he asked, pointing to the prefabricated steel structure.

One of the police officers explained:

"It was a warehouse, piled high with pig feed, so full you couldn't go inside."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhang came closer and carefully examined the feed.

Just as the officers said, bags of pig feed were piled up neatly, filling the entire warehouse.

He looked down at the ground and saw that there was a solid wooden pallet at the bottom of the feed, mainly for easy transportation.

Yu Dazhang called over a worker from the pig farm and said:
"Call your forklift driver over."

"Calling them won't do any good," the staff member replied.
"The forklift broke down this morning, so we've been manually handling the feed for the pigs today."

"Oh no?" Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhang was not disappointed; instead, he laughed.

What a coincidence that things turned out badly.
