Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 420 Drag your feet a little longer
The woman's expression changed.

The initial composure gradually turned into fear and disbelief.

As Yu Dazhang finished speaking, the expression on her face became increasingly complex, showing astonishment, panic, and shock.

Finally, all the light on her face vanished without a trace.

"Best-level acting skills..." Yu Dazhang thought to himself.

I was fooled by her twice back then, and now it seems I wasn't wronged at all.

"You saw right through me."

The light in Zhang Chao's mother's eyes gradually dimmed:
"Can't you leave me some hope?"

"How dare you say that..." Yu Dazhang's hand, which was resting on his lap, unconsciously clenched into a fist.

At that moment, all he wanted to do was punch the woman in the face.

This monster has deprived tens of thousands of mentally disabled people of their freedom over the past decade.

Did she leave those people with hope?

And those who were sent alive onto the hospital ship in international waters—who can understand their fear and despair?

She actually has the nerve to talk about hope, how shameless!
"Stop acting," Yu Dazhang said impatiently.
"A person like you will not place your hopes on anyone; you are used to having everything under your control."

"Even your own son is a pawn in your game, let alone others."

It seemed to have hit the nail on the head; the woman's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

"I can help you achieve something."

She stared at Yu Dazhang and said:
“I’ll tell you where the money is hidden. It’s a hundred million in cash. If you recover such a large sum of money, you’ll definitely get a promotion.”

"And then?" Yu Dazhang looked at her with great interest:
"What do you need me to do?"

He has no shortage of merits, and he didn't become a policeman to gain merits.

Besides, now that the case has been solved to this point, the credit definitely belongs to him, and no one can take it away from him.

"You don't need to do anything."

The woman replied somewhat excitedly:
"If you promise me you won't do anything, I'll tell you where I hid the money right away."

After she finished speaking, even the two policewomen standing next to her showed disdainful expressions, as if they were mocking the woman's unrealistic ideas.

"Sure," Yu Dazhang readily agreed.

"Go ahead."

His answer made the two policewomen's eyes widen instantly.

This fat guy with a small net over his head has absolutely no bottom line.

How could they so blatantly make a deal with a suspect and agree so readily? Did they think we were dead?

"You...you agreed?"

Zhang Chao's mother was also a little stunned, clearly not expecting Yu Dazhang to agree.

"The request isn't unreasonable." Yu Dazhang nodded earnestly.

"If you're happy, I'm happy too, so let's not waste any more time."

"Well, okay then." It was clear that the woman hesitated.

But since she was the one who made the conditions, and Yu Dazhang has now agreed, she has no reason to say anything more.

She then gave an address.

Yu Dazhang took out his notebook, quickly wrote it down, and then stood up and went outside.

At this moment, Hua and Qi were waiting outside. When they saw him come out, they immediately went to greet him.

"How is it going?" Captain Hua asked.

“This is the address where the money is hidden.” As Yu Dazhang spoke, he tore off the page with the address written on it.

Then, in front of Hua Dui and Qi Fang, he carefully cleaned away the bits of paper from the notebook.

What is this for?

The two were confused by Yu Dazhang's actions.

It feels like they're cleaning up traces to prevent leaving any clues.

It's a habit!
This means that the fat man had done something similar before.

A repeat offender! This guy is a repeat offender!!

Both Hua and Qi Fang had the same thought.

Brother, that's your own notebook, is it really necessary to be like this?

Yu Dazhang didn't take it seriously; he did it subconsciously because he felt uneasy if he didn't clean up the paper scraps.

"Send someone to verify this as soon as possible." He handed the sheet of paper to Team Leader Hua.

"I'll wait for your news."

Seeing that he was about to go inside, Captain Hua quickly asked:
"You've already found out where the money is hidden, why are you still going in?"

Yu Dazhang replied with a smile:
"You don't think she sent me here just to tell me where I hid the money, do you? We're not that close."

They had already discussed it beforehand, and Yu Dazhang was to go in alone to see Zhang Chao's mother.

This will minimize the other party's wariness.

Moreover, there were two policewomen inside, so it wasn't considered a violation of regulations.

Team Hua thought it would take a long time, but Yu Dazhang came out shortly after he went in.

It looks like this fat guy has made another discovery.

"Is there anything she hasn't told me?"

After asking the question, Hua felt a little awkward, so he asked it from a different angle:

"Are you saying she wants to use you to achieve some goal?"

Chatting with smart people is always a pleasure… Yu Dazhang nodded:
"That's what I think too, we'll have an answer soon."

As he spoke, he pushed open the ward door again and went inside.

Sitting down by the bedside, Yu Dazhang waved the notebook in his hand in front of Zhang Chao's mother:
"I need to verify the address you gave me. I think you can understand."

"Since I've said it, I won't lie to you." The woman's expression was calm, and her tone was even.

"You also need to remember your promise to me that this case will end here."

You're so beautiful... Yu Dazhang's face darkened:
"My condition for agreeing to your request was that you tell me the address where you hid the money, but you only gave me one. Isn't that a bit insincere?"

He was certain that Zhang Chao's mother had another plan.

This criminal chain has been operating for eleven years, and the known amount involved has reached one billion.

Such a large sum of money was divided into only three parts.

Two hundred and sixty million was used to mislead the police, six hundred million was transferred abroad, and one hundred million was converted into cash.

On the surface, it seems like there's nothing wrong, but upon closer inspection, something feels off.

Even an ordinary person with that much money would manage it in a decentralized manner, let alone someone like Zhang Chao's mother who is used to planning ahead.

So, she's still playing a trick on us.

Yu Dazhang had already figured out that her purpose in calling him here was to make the police believe that all the money had been recovered.

"It's gone, really gone!" the woman suddenly exclaimed, agitated.
"You broke your promise! You promised me!"

"Just keep acting..." Yu Dazhang suddenly said in a low voice.

"I don't believe you didn't leave a single penny for the children."

That's the crux of the matter.

He had been fooled by Zhang Chao's mother before because he had ignored his emotions, and he certainly wouldn't make the same mistake again this time.

Just from the fact that the woman took her child with her when she ran away, you can tell that she still cared about her grandson.

Perhaps, they all have the same goal.

Give your child a bright future.

"you!"

The woman panicked and could no longer maintain her composure.

She looked at Yu Dazhang in disbelief:
"Do you really have to be so ruthless as to wipe them all out?!"

Yu Dazhang stared at her with great interest, then suddenly smiled:

"Your expression changed a bit too quickly just now. Although your acting skills are still commendable, you overdid it. However, you still have the foundation of a veteran actor."
