Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 463 You care about her quite a bit.
Does he still have time to go online for entertainment?
Yu Dazhang thought that national security leaders like Li Mingzhao were busy from dawn till dusk every day and had no personal leisure time at all.

Even he, a criminal police officer, rarely has free time, and when he finally gets a day off, he spends it catching up on sleep.

Looking back now, I really feel indebted to Qu Tuotuo.

Aside from cooking a few meals for her myself, I haven't really done anything else for her.

Since they met, it seems that she has been the one making all the sacrifices.

This time, she misunderstood even more.

If he had known that Ye Lin had only suffered minor injuries, he wouldn't have come.

Yu Dazhang grew angrier the more he thought about it, and finally couldn't help but say to Li Mingzhao, who was driving beside him:
"Boss, I want to go back to Songhai."

"No way." Li Mingzhao refused without even thinking.

"You've only just arrived; you can't give up halfway through your work."

Having captured one of the other party alive upon arrival, how could he possibly let Yu Dazhang go back?

Even from that distance, the other person was wearing a ghillie suit and was still spotted; this fat man's eyesight is practically like an eight-times magnification scope.

He had already decided that he would not let Yu Dazhang leave until this matter was resolved.

"Then let me make a phone call."

Yu Dazhang, settling for second best, pleaded:

"My girlfriend misunderstood me because I was trying to help you guys, so I have to explain to her."

The two of them had a fight last night.

Yu Dazhang had been thinking about this matter and originally planned to call Qu Tuotuo as soon as he arrived at his destination to explain things properly.

But who would have thought that this godforsaken place wouldn't even have a signal?

You have to deal with this while it's hot, especially when it comes to relationship issues; the sooner you resolve them, the better.

He certainly didn't want to return to Songhai just in time for Qu Tuotuo's wedding to someone else.

"This request is not excessive."

Li Mingzhao immediately nodded in agreement:

"Just make the call in the car. You can use my satellite phone to dial directly."

As he spoke, he took out a mobile phone with an antenna from the storage compartment.

Yu Dazhang reached out and took it, weighing it in his hand:
"You used this thing to contact me before, right?"

Looking at the phone, he suddenly remembered something his police academy teacher had once told him: In this day and age, the more primitive the communication method, the safer it is.

If Li Mingzhao hadn't said it was a satellite phone, he would have thought it was just an old-fashioned mobile phone.

“That’s right,” Li Mingzhao answered truthfully.

"This phone is encrypted; here, only satellite phones like this can contact the outside world."

Hearing his explanation, Yu Dazhang felt a little unsure.

I wonder if Qu Tuotuo will reject the call if she sees a "P" on the caller ID.

He quickly dialed the number.

Fortunately, the call was answered quickly.

"Hey?"

Hearing the familiar voice on the other end, Yu Dazhang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said:

"Tuotuo, it's me. Please let me explain..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qu Tuotuo interrupted him directly:

"Where are you?"

"Well..." Yu Dazhang hesitated, because he didn't know where he was either.

After hesitating for two seconds, he decided to tell the truth:

"I don't know where I am right now."

Even if he knew, he couldn't say it.

Li Mingzhao made him make a phone call in the car, but he was actually listening to his conversation.

Not saying it outright was already a way of giving him face.

"So, you've already left Songhai?"

Qu Tuotuo's voice was always as clear and melodious as a girl next door, but at this moment it carried a hint of coldness.

"Yes." At this moment, Yu Dazhang naturally dared not lie:
"They left last night."

"Have you already met Ye Lin?" Qu Tuotuo asked again.

This is a life-or-death question... Yu Dazhang didn't want to answer, but he also knew that only by telling the truth could he gain forgiveness.

"I've seen him." He immediately explained after saying that:
"We're really just colleagues. You have to believe me. You've really misunderstood me this time." There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Yu Dazhang nervously swallowed, waiting for the other person's reaction. He knew that Qu Tuotuo was hesitating.

After a while, Qu Tuotuo spoke again:
"Can you come back today?"

Her tone softened considerably, and she even sounded somewhat expectant.

Yu Dazhang felt a little relieved, but he wasn't completely at ease yet.

"I can't go back today," he answered cautiously.

"I'll have to wait a while before I can go back to Songhai; they need me here..."

The words "investigate the case" were on the tip of his tongue when Qu Tuotuo suddenly interrupted him:
"If you're not coming back, why are you calling me? Yu Dazhang, what do you take me for!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone immediately.

"Oh no..."

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Yu Dazhang was momentarily stunned.

Why did it suddenly go berserk?

Then he realized that Qu Tuotuo must think that he should stay here with Ye Lin.

Injustice!
He was about to call back, but just as he was about to press the dial button, Li Mingzhao snatched the phone away.

"We can't fight anymore."

Li Mingzhao said with a serious expression:

"This kind of encrypted phone call cannot be used frequently, otherwise there is a risk of exposure, and your call time just now exceeded the predetermined standard."

"Isn't that the end of it...?" Yu Dazhang's heart skipped a beat.

He originally just wanted to give a simple explanation, but now, the more he tries to explain, the worse it gets.

"It seems you care about her quite a bit," Li Mingzhao said with a smile.

Yu Dazhang was feeling down when he heard this, and he rolled his eyes at him:
How did you figure that out?

He spent almost the entire time explaining himself, barely saying a few words. How did that turn into him caring about the other person?

"You're supposed to be a pretty clever person, but when it comes to your girlfriend, she's so clumsy and awkward, she can't even express herself clearly."

Li Mingzhao seemed very experienced.
"You're not usually like this. Doesn't this prove you care about her?"

Yu Dazhang wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he was powerless to defend himself.

The car suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, Yu Dazhang asked in a low voice:
"Are you married?"

"No."

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No."

"He's an old bachelor..." Yu Dazhang initially wanted to mock him, but after thinking about it, he ultimately just sighed.
"We're both equally bad."

That's how Yu Dazhang lived in his previous life; he never got married until his sacrifice.

Back to the living area.

Yu Dazhang followed Li Mingzhao to a two-story building.

Do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness?

Before going in, Li Mingzhao stopped and looked at him, saying:
I'm referring to the moral aspects.

This is going to be a dirty joke... Yu Dazhang thought for a moment and replied:
"Strictly speaking, my moral standards are about the same as those of ordinary people, and my psychological resilience is relatively weak."

He had already guessed what Team Leader Li was going to do, so he had prepared his explanation in advance.

No country in the world will show leniency towards enemy agents.

To prevent the leakage of state secrets, extreme measures are often used when agents and spies are caught.

This is different from handling a case.

The police will present evidence and human rights to the suspect.

The Ministry of State Security is not so lenient with spies; they usually have another, more direct and effective method.

As expected, Li Mingzhao nodded after hearing Yu Dazhang's answer:

"You can avoid the rest of the interrogation. I'll have someone call you over after the interrogation is over."

As he walked into the building, Yu Dazhang couldn't help but shiver.

He was genuinely curious about how the National Security Bureau dealt with spies, but he was also afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it psychologically.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that the two-story building in front of him was emanating a sinister aura.
