Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 439 There's a surprise in the first troop!
"Master, Master, please wait a moment."

Yu Dazhang quickly interrupted:

"Since there's already a special task force, let's not get involved anymore. You're the one who taught me this rule."

There are rules for solving cases.

Special cases are handled by special task forces, and no one else is allowed to interfere with or meddle in their work during the investigation.

Unless the case remains unsolved after the deadline, the task force will be disbanded, leaving the case unsolved, at which point other personnel may be able to intervene and continue the investigation.

Yu Dazhang was no novice; he was naturally very familiar with these rules.

Besides, it's been half a month already, and we've long missed the best opportunity to solve the case.

Letting him go at this time would be putting him in a difficult position.

"Of course I know the rules."

Lü Zhongxin glared at him:
"This is Captain Wei's idea. He wants you to take a look. After all, our brigade is leading the investigation of this case. If we don't solve it in the end, it will be a disgrace to the entire brigade."

That makes sense... Yu Dazhang is now part of a large group, so naturally he has to consider the group's reputation.

It's about a sense of collective honor.

We all share in the glory; after all, no one wants their department to be looked down upon by other departments.

But he still felt uneasy. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Lü Zhongxin:

"Why didn't Captain Wei tell me himself?"

If Wei Qian gave him an order, Yu Dazhang would definitely carry it out without hesitation.

But Wei took a roundabout way and had his mentor talk to him, which is quite intriguing.

"I came to talk to you about this so that both of us can save face."

Lu Zhongxin said in a low voice:
“If Captain Wei tells you this personally, it’s the same as letting you join the special task force. If that happens, you’ll have no way out.”

"It's mainly because of your reputation. So far, there hasn't been a case you can't solve."

How thoughtful... Yu Dazhang understood.

This is for me to check it out first; if I'm confident, I'll join the team to solve the case.

If you find it troublesome, just pretend you didn't see it; Wei Qian will keep quiet about it.

This is what is called a "step".

It gave him room to try, while also leaving him a way out.

Whatever decision he ultimately makes, it won't put him in an awkward or difficult situation.

After figuring this out, Yu Dazhang suddenly felt a little nauseous.

What's going on? Are you treating me like a female detective?

Isn't it normal for criminal police to not be able to solve cases? Who dares to say that every case will be solved? If there were such a person, there would be no unsolved cases in China.

"Master, how come you still don't understand me?"

Yu Dazhang was a little angry, and he looked at Lü Zhongxin with displeasure:
"I never solve cases for fame. As long as I do my best, I am worthy of this police uniform."

The cases he handled before were either special cases or long-standing cases. If he really wanted to solve cases for the sake of his reputation, he shouldn't have taken them.

"I knew you would say that."

Lü Zhongxin nodded with satisfaction:
"Let's go, Captain Wei is waiting for us."

He walked ahead, his back straighter than before.

Once downstairs, the two got into a police car. Wei Qian, sitting in the driver's seat, smiled and asked them as they entered:

"Have you thought about it?"

"There's nothing to think about," Yu Dazhang replied directly.

“If I had to be protected while handling a case, I would despise myself.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Qian's smile widened even more.

"Not bad, he didn't get cocky."

Twenty minutes later.

The police car was parked in front of a residential building. "Here's the case file. Go upstairs after you've reviewed it."

Wei Qian took out the case file and handed it over.

"Why did it take so long to take it out?" Yu Dazhang muttered as he took it.

"Reading documents while traveling by car makes me dizzy," Wei Qian explained.

"Besides, it's bad for your eyes. This case has been going on for half a month already, so a little more won't make a difference."

He's still the same old man... Yu Dazhang smiled but didn't say anything.

In his previous life, he worked under Wei Qian for the longest time.

Team Leader Wei may seem smooth, but he is actually very straightforward and decisive.

He will wholeheartedly care for and look after those he likes, while he won't even greet those he doesn't like.

In his previous life, Yu Dazhang was framed by Zhao Hang after being reported by him. It was Wei Qian who stood up for him, not only standing up to the bureau leaders but also almost hitting Zhao Hang.

When you encounter a leader like this, your subordinates will naturally feel awe and respect.

Upon opening the case file, Yu Dazhang was immediately drawn to its contents.

December 12.8th home invasion and murder case.

On December 8, 2014, the police received a report that a friend had been out of contact for more than 24 hours, with his phone switched off and no one at home.

Police arrived at the scene based on the address provided by the other party.

After breaking down the door, they found a female corpse in the bedroom.

He was wearing a bathrobe, his face was pale, there was obvious external injury on his head, his hands were outstretched in a V-shape, his head was tilted to the right, and he had a piece of cloth in his mouth.

A forensic examination later determined that the cause of death was intracranial hemorrhage caused by a severe blow to the head.

The deceased was named Shi Wenyan, a 27-year-old local resident. She was a white-collar worker who worked for a real estate company. She had a high salary and was also beautiful.

After the incident, the police immediately set up a special task force to investigate the case.

The victim's door lock showed no signs of forced entry, and the windows were intact.

Furthermore, Shi Wenyan's home is on the seventh floor, so the possibility of her entering the room from the balcony can be ruled out.

To investigate this, the task force even called in a fire ladder to inspect the exterior wall, but found no signs of climbing.

All indications suggest that this case was most likely committed by someone known to the victim.

Judging from the scene of the crime, the victim, Shi Wenyan, seemed to have voluntarily opened the door for the murderer, allowing him to enter the house smoothly.

However, despite a thorough investigation into Shi Wenyan's social relationships and work experience, no valuable clues were found.

Those who know Shih Wen-yen all said they did not visit her home on the 8th.

Moreover, they can all provide corresponding alibis.

The scene had been specially cleaned up, and fingerprints and footprints were removed, leaving no trace.

Shi Wenyan's jewelry and mobile phone were not lost, and she had not been sexually assaulted during her lifetime.

The investigation by the task force has reached a stalemate precisely because no clues or motives can be found.

After reading the case file, Yu Dazhang did not immediately express his opinion as usual. Instead, he slowly closed the file, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.

His movements seemed somewhat slow, as if he were deep in thought.

Wei Qian and Lü Zhongxin stared at him intently, barely daring to breathe, afraid of disturbing him.

For some reason, they all felt a strange sense of tension at that moment.

They were all experienced veteran detectives, but they didn't notice that the fat man's hands were trembling slightly.

In fact, Yu Dazhang wasn't really thinking about anything.

He was simply using the act of closing his eyes to think in order to mask his inner excitement.

The reason why hands tremble is that when you are emotionally excited, the sympathetic nervous system is excited, which leads to increased muscle contraction. This is physiological hand tremor and belongs to a normal stress response.

There was only one reason that caused him to become emotional:
He had encountered this case in his previous life when he was in the brigade.

A sticky rice cake fell from the sky... Yu Dazhang shouted in his heart.

Lao Tzu's rebirth benefits have arrived!
