Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 389 This fat guy is too much of a jerk.

It's not that we're afraid of criminals making demands, it's that we're afraid of them talking nonsense.

Therefore, Yu Dazhang felt it was better to make things clear in advance.

"Do you know how many people are inside?" a man's voice came from the phone.

Upon hearing this voice, Yu Dazhang's heart began to race.

Zhang Chao!

He was standing next to Wang Hao when Wang Hao was talking to Zhang Chao on his phone, and he heard their conversation clearly.

Moreover, Zhang Chao speaks in a vulgar manner and has a very distinctive voice, so he remembers him vividly and would not mistake him.

"There are probably more than a hundred mentally disabled people who were captured by you."

Yu Dazhang tried his best to calm himself down and said in a calm voice:

"There should be more than a dozen people responsible for guarding it, and the total number is estimated to be close to two hundred."

It would be a lie to say he wasn't excited; the fact that he could give a calm answer shows his mental fortitude.

Zhang Chao's presence here was completely unexpected.

Logically speaking, someone like Zhang Chao should have prepared multiple hiding places for himself long ago.

For example, he could use someone else's identity to purchase real estate, rent houses long-term, or even use a fake identity to book hotel rooms.

With proper preparation, these methods can help evade detection and achieve the goal of hiding.

But he chose to hide in an underground prison.

It's likely that Zhang Chao thinks this is the safest place.

"You know so much about this!" Zhang Chao exclaimed in surprise.

"I seriously suspect that one of you has been an undercover agent in there."

"You've arrested the wrong person..." Yu Dazhang thought to himself.

From Zhang Chao's words, it's clear that he still doesn't know that Fang Peng is a person of sound mind.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Yu Dazhang, too lazy to waste words with him, urged him directly:

"Speak your mind."

There's only an hour left until dark, so he has to hurry.

Once it gets dark, things can easily change.

“I can guarantee the safety of these hundred-plus people,” Zhang Chao said slowly.
"I only have one request: let my wife and me leave. More than a hundred people for the two of us, isn't that a good deal?"

"Why didn't he swear today..." Yu Dazhang thought to himself, and casually replied:
"You've watched too many movies. In this situation, even if you were allowed to leave, you wouldn't be able to escape Liancheng."

"Then it's none of your business," Zhang Chao said dismissively.

"I only have this one condition. If you don't agree, I guarantee that none of the people inside will survive."

None of them will survive? Yu Dazhang was caught off guard and didn't understand Zhang Chao's meaning.

There were over a hundred people. Even if he were determined to kill them all, it would be impossible for him to do so in a short time.

Is it...

Does Zhang Chao possess dangerous items such as bombs?
"I don't believe you can kill so many people at once," Yu Dazhang said tentatively.

"Unless you can come up with a method that convinces me."

Although he said he didn't believe it, he raised his hand and waved it forcefully, signaling the police officers in the warehouse to leave.

"This is so damn slow."

Zhang Chao's tone suddenly changed, his voice filled with impatience:

"I'm not going to tell you anything. If you don't believe me, come in and see for yourself. We can also discuss the specific terms."

That's more like it... Yu Dazhang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say that.

He thought Zhang Chao had become smarter, but it turned out he was just faking it all. His wife must have taught him to say that.

“Okay, I’ll go down right away.” Yu Dazhang agreed immediately.

"At most two people will come down," Zhang Chao reminded them.

"If there are more than two people, then there's no point in talking."

After saying that, he hung up the phone immediately.

Yu Dazhang's agreement was a reluctant one.

This is a serious matter. If there are indeed bombs or other dangerous items below, the police must take precautions in advance.

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to go down and confirm.

Because the earpiece of this type of mobile phone is loud, the leaders standing next to him could clearly hear Zhang Chao's voice.

When the call ended, everyone wore a serious expression, and their gazes all turned to Da Zhang. He really has the guts of a tiger.

In this situation, the courage to go alone is admirable.

Just as Boss Long was about to remind him to be careful, he saw Yu Dazhang turn to look at Hua Kaiquan:

"Team Leader Hua, take someone down with you. Negotiation is my weakness."

Boss Long: ……

Team China: !!!

The group of bigwigs: ? ? ? ?
Everyone thought Yu Dazhang would go down and talk to the other party in person, but unexpectedly he pushed Team Leader Hua out instead.

If you don't want to go down, don't agree.

At this moment, everyone's gaze towards him changed, and their previous admiration for him vanished completely.

That fat guy is such a jerk.

What on earth did this thing turn into...? Team Leader Hua was so angry that his hands were trembling.

Going is fine; as a criminal investigator, I'm used to dealing with danger.

But going there like that felt really awkward; I always felt like I'd been tricked.

Besides, shouldn't people be scrambling to do such dangerous work? How come he's acting like Kong Rong sharing pears?

"me……"

Team Hua wanted to argue, but once he opened his mouth, he realized that he couldn't find any reason to argue at all.

He simply couldn't bring himself to back down in the face of battle.

"Don't get agitated," Yu Dazhang comforted him upon seeing the situation.
"I know this opportunity is rare, but we must remain calm and not waste time when we go down. The main thing is to check if there are any dangerous items."

Am I getting excited...? Team Hua took two deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.

He then chose a police officer and walked down the steps with him.

Just before entering the iron gate, he couldn't help but turn back and glare at Yu Dazhang.

Yu Dazhang didn't care at all; he believed that such matters should be left to experienced veteran criminal investigators.

Moreover, as the head of the task force, he can't do everything himself.

We should give others a chance to shine sometimes.

As time ticked by, everyone inside the warehouse grew increasingly tense.

The police officers stood ready with their weapons at the ready, and even Yu Dazhang had his hands on his holster.

If there are any unusual sounds below, or if Captain Hua calls for help, he will rush down without hesitation.

ten minutes later.

Just as everyone was on edge, Hua and his team appeared at the entrance and walked up.

"How is it?" Yu Dazhang immediately went to greet him.

"The situation isn't good." Team Leader Hua's face was grim, and he continued speaking without stopping.
“They really have explosives, and they’ve piled them up at the base of the wall. Once they’re detonated, it will definitely cause a collapse.”

This was the last thing Yu Dazhang wanted to hear, and it also meant that the police had to make some concessions.

Only in this way can we keep Zhang Chao and his group calm.

The SWAT leader simply turned around and walked out of the warehouse.

Everyone knew that they were going to call the bomb disposal team.

"Have the terms been negotiated?" Yu Dazhang asked.

"That's a bit strange. They only showed me the place where the explosives were stored," Captain Hua said, frowning.

"Most of what they said was threats, but at the end they said they wanted you to go down and talk in detail."

"Let me go and talk to them?" Yu Dazhang suddenly felt that something was not right.

I was able to recognize Zhang Chao because I had overheard him talking to Wang Hao.

But Zhang Chao didn't recognize himself.

Even if you've already discussed it with him on the phone, there's no need for him to go into detail with you.

"What were his exact words?"

Yu Dazhang had a premonition that Zhang Chao and his group were definitely planning something.

"He said..." Team Leader Hua thought for a moment and replied:

"Let that fat guy come down and talk to me."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhang narrowed his eyes.

How did he know I was fat?
