Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 470 Help me get a military uniform, legally.
Why is there body discrimination? Yu Dazhang was very dissatisfied with this.

So what if I'm fat?

I didn't eat your rice.

Besides, I've already lost quite a bit of weight recently.

Okay, I'm still fat.

You can't say that to their face.

Don't hit someone in the face, don't insult someone by revealing their weaknesses. Is this the level of emotional intelligence that Guoan has?

"What, you're not convinced?"

Seeing Yu Dazhang glaring at him with his neck stiff, Li Mingzhao couldn't help but mock him:
"Look at your belly, even if you were dressed in a white coat, you wouldn't be able to button it up."

Fine, fine, you want to insult me, huh...? Yu Dazhang simply gave up.

"I was originally planning to infiltrate the research team to help you catch the traitor, but since you've put it that way, there's no need for me to waste my brain cells."

He waved to Li Mingzhao:

"Team Leader Li, you're busy. I'm going back to catch up on some sleep."

Catching an internal traitor? Upon hearing these three words, Li Mingzhao's eyes lit up instantly, and even the bloodshot in his eyes disappeared.

Seeing that Da Zhang had already walked out, he quickly chased after him.

"Do you believe there's a traitor within Institute Fifty-Three?"

Yu Dazhang ignored him and continued walking out.

"Which department specifically? How did you determine that? What was your basis for that conclusion?"

Yu Dazhang stopped and stared straight at him.

Li Mingzhao understood immediately.

"I was just joking."

He patted Yu Dazhang on the shoulder, his tone very sincere:

"It's my fault for not considering your feelings. My team members and I often tease each other like this."

As a leader of the National Security Bureau, it's already quite remarkable that Li Mingzhao would speak in such a humble manner.

Yu Dazhang then took the opportunity to make a request:

"If I catch the traitor, you'll have to do me a favor."

"No problem." Li Mingzhao nodded in agreement without even thinking.
"Speak, what kind of help do you need?"

Seeing his quick agreement, Yu Dazhang didn't waste any words and said directly:

"Get me a military uniform, something legal."

Every boy dreams of being a soldier, and Yu Dazhang was no exception.

From a young age, he longed to wear a military uniform, run and fight in the army, and defend his country with his youth and passion.

That was partly the reason I later became a policeman.

Unfortunately, he never had the chance to wear a military uniform.

Buying and selling military uniforms is illegal, not to mention active duty uniforms, even counterfeit military uniforms are illegal.

So now that he has this opportunity, he naturally won't let it slip by.

If others can't help him, Guoan will definitely find a way to help him realize this wish.

"You really know how to find opportunities to take advantage of others."

Li Mingzhao looked very troubled, frowning and thinking for a long time before reluctantly agreeing:

"I can't say for sure about this, but I can give it a try. With your resume, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Is this leader a fake?" Yu Dazhang muttered to himself.

In his view, this was no big deal for Beijing Guoan, so why make things so difficult for them?

It's just a military uniform.

I wouldn't wear it to impersonate a soldier, much less use it to swindle or cheat.

At most, I'll wear it occasionally at home to fulfill my long-held dream of being a soldier.

The two then randomly chose a room.

"Now tell me."

As soon as he entered the room, Li Mingzhao asked impatiently:
"What made you conclude that there was a traitor in Institute Fifty-Three?"

The national security authorities have naturally considered this possibility, but there is no evidence to suggest that the people here are colluding with foreign enemies.

Moreover, everyone here undergoes rigorous screening. Even the slightest issue with their background or identity will disqualify them from working here.

Since the researcher's accident, the area has been under martial law, and the staff inside haven't been able to leave for the past two months.

Forget about colluding with the enemy; even if the people inside wanted to contact the outside world, it would be impossible.

Those armed police and guards are not just for show.

Unless someone can conjure a satellite phone out of thin air.

How did enemy agents discover this place?

Yu Dazhang looked at him and said with a serious expression:

"You should have the answer to this question by now."

This is the most superficial thing; he believes that the National Security Bureau has already figured it out.

"Based on the information we have so far, it was leaked by the researcher who has already passed away."

Li Mingzhao's answer was fluent and natural, clearly indicating that he had conducted an in-depth analysis of the matter beforehand.

"Two possibilities."

"First, the researcher voluntarily sold the classified information here to a foreign intelligence organization in exchange for huge profits."

"Secondly, the researcher inadvertently exposed his identity, was discovered and captured by the other party, and after being subjected to a series of tortures, revealed important information about this place."

On the surface, it does seem to be as he said.

Because the whole thing started with the disappearance of that researcher.

Yu Dazhang nodded after hearing this, and then asked:
"Given that researcher's level, would they know the exact location of this place?"

He had thought about this problem seriously before.

If that researcher knew the location, he would never have been allowed to go back on vacation so easily.

Even if he were allowed to return, a series of strict protective measures would likely be taken to ensure that he would not reveal the location information to anyone.

More importantly.

From a scientific research perspective, researchers don't need to know exactly where they are; they only need to focus on their own research field.

Just like Yu Dazhang, even though he didn't know his location, it didn't affect his investigation.

Sure enough, Li Mingzhao shook his head after hearing this:

"It is understood that the researcher was not authorized to know the location information here."

"Not only him, but all the researchers here have no right to know, including those two academicians."

At this point, he changed the subject:
"Not having the right to know doesn't mean you definitely don't know. That researcher has worked here for five years. If he wanted to know, he would definitely find something out."

"A fabricated charge..." Yu Dazhang was suddenly speechless.

Even if the researcher is a suspect, you can't just label someone without evidence.

No wonder you're a special operations team; you're only good at action, not deduction.

Yu Dazhang was inwardly complaining, but he didn't show it on his face at all.

"If you ask me, neither of your two possibilities is valid."

Since the conversation had already reached this point, he simply shared his thoughts:
"First of all, if the researcher had deliberately sold out classified information, he wouldn't have died at all."

"Both sides got what they wanted, so there was absolutely no need to kill anyone."

"It's even less likely that they'd double-cross you. Do they look like they're short of money?"

This question left Li Mingzhao speechless.

Yu Dazhang wasn't in the mood to wait for him to figure it out, and continued:

"Secondly, the researcher had been working in the test area before his leave, and he didn't even have a chance to expose his identity."

"Even if he goes abroad and tells others that he is a researcher, it's nothing new. There are few academicians in China, but there are plenty of researchers."

He paused briefly, and seeing that Li Mingzhao had come to his senses, he continued:
"Moreover, he wouldn't willingly reveal his identity."

"There's a major loophole here: after killing the researcher, they actually left the body with you."

He didn't need to spell out what was to come; he believed Li Mingzhao would figure it out.

Even ordinary people understand the principle of destroying evidence, so why wouldn't foreign spies know it?
Therefore, the other party did it on purpose.

While it appeared to be a hasty escape, with no time to dispose of the researcher's body, they were actually using the corpse to cover for the real traitor.

They wanted to tell everyone that it was this researcher who leaked the location of the testing area.

Just as Li Mingzhao was processing this information, Yu Dazhang spoke again:
"Would you like to hear about a third possibility?"
