Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 476 He's finally in my hands

Can you identify a mole just by looking at facial expressions?

Yu Dazhang certainly wouldn't be so hasty.

As a criminal investigator, he naturally had to rely on evidence.

I was observing the changes in the expressions of these researchers to further verify my inferences and to see if there were any other suspicious individuals.

He did some mental calculations.

The gunshots lasted for about five minutes.

Judging from the timing, the opposing team must have been wiped out.

Unlike last time, this time it wasn't an encounter, but a trap set by the National Security Bureau, just waiting for these people to fall into it.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for them to escape unscathed as before.

in the afternoon.

Yu Dazhang took leave from work and went to the hospital set up within the experimental zone, citing feeling unwell.

He met Li Mingzhao in the same hospital room where Ye Lin had previously stayed.

"Where's Ye Lin?" After entering the house, Yu Dazhang looked around.

In his memory, no matter where Li Mingzhao went, Ye Lin would always be by his side.

"I gave her the day off today."

Li Mingzhao said this with a smile on his face, and seemed to be in a good mood:

"Her current physical condition is not suitable for participating in the operation."

"You're a good leader..." Yu Dazhang replied with a smile.

"You must have had quite a haul this time!"

This was the first time he had ever seen Team Leader Li smile so happily.

She couldn't suppress the joy emanating from the corners of her mouth; it was a joy that came from the bottom of her heart.

Looking at the smile on his face, Yu Dazhang felt a chill in his heart for some reason.

"This time we have captured a top-level agent who has been lurking in our country for many years."

Li Mingzhao stared at Yu Dazhang with shining eyes:
“His code name is ‘Crawler’. He has a bloody record in China, and two national security personnel have lost their lives at his hands.”

"He has practically vanished from the face of the earth in the past two years; no one knows where he is hiding."

"I never thought I'd fall into your hands today."

He excitedly pumped his fist, looking like a child showing off his favorite toy:
Do you know what catching him means?

Do you know how many secrets he holds that no one knows about?

"Most importantly..."

Li Mingzhao's voice suddenly turned low, and his smile vanished instantly, replaced by a sinister and crazed glint in his eyes.

"This demon that makes countless people grit their teeth has finally fallen into my hands today."

In this passage, he said "fell into my hands" twice.

The first time was with excitement.

The second time was with resentment.

The content was the same, but Li Mingzhao described it in two different ways.

Regardless of the reason, it made Yu Dazhang's heart pound with fear. He didn't even dare to look into Li Mingzhao's cold eyes.

Yu Dazhang was too lazy to guess what would happen to that agent.

One thing he was very clear about was that the so-called top agent was going to suffer a lot.

Guoan will definitely dig out everything he knows.

That's right, it's "dig," not "ask."

A difference of just one word can lead to vastly different methods.

There will inevitably be some "bleeding hearts" in the police force, but there certainly won't be any in the National Security Bureau.

In other words, there are no saints allowed in the Guoan team.

Their mission is to ensure the security and interests of the nation, and any factors that may threaten this must be eliminated.

"Asking you to come and help was the best decision I ever made."

Li Mingzhao, unable to hide his excitement, stared at Yu Dazhang and said:
"Your judgment is absolutely correct. The other side really did send a small team this time, and their target is the grove."

"Thanks to your prediction, it would have been difficult to wipe them out if we had ambushed them outside the mountains."

Yu Dazhang listened quietly until he finished speaking before he spoke:
"Did I find what I was looking for?"

“Here it is.” Li Mingzhao took out a small, transparent box containing business cards from his pocket. Inside the box was a small, rolled-up piece of paper:
"I've already looked at it. The note is full of irregularly arranged numbers; it must be some kind of code." Yu Dazhang took it but didn't open it; instead, he put it directly into his pocket.

"Anything else?" he asked again.

"Here you go." Li Mingzhao handed over a shoebox from beside the bed.

You guessed right all of them.

Yu Dazhang searched around the room, picked up a plastic bag from beside the bed, and then put the shoebox that Li Mingzhao handed him into it.

"Wait for my news."

He picked up the plastic bag containing the shoebox and waved to Li Mingzhao.

Just as he reached the door, Li Mingzhao suddenly asked:
"Should I have two people come with you?"

"There's no need for that," Yu Dazhang said without turning his head.
"There are some things I'm not sure about yet. Having too many people around could easily lead to unnecessary trouble."

When he returned to the testing hall, he found that only two guards remained.

After asking around, I learned that everyone had been somewhat distracted ever since the gunshots rang out outside.

Seeing that everyone was not in good working condition, the two academicians decided to give everyone a half-day off and let the research team go home.

Yu Dazhang then arrived at the living area and met Chen Yang and Liu Hai.

The three of them discussed it.

Since I had nothing to do this afternoon, I prepared some food and drinks in advance, and we'll have a small gathering at Chen Yang's room tonight.

That night.

Yu Dazhang arrived at Chen Yang's house on time, carrying a case of beer.

After the food and drinks were served, the three of them raised their glasses and drank together.

Strangely enough, compared to last time, all three of them were clearly controlling their alcohol intake today.

Yu Dazhang noticed that Chen Yang seemed a bit cautious when drinking, no longer as unrestrained as last time.

Presumably because he spoke recklessly while drinking last time and said some things he shouldn't have, Chen Yang didn't dare to drink as freely as before this time.

Liu Hai wasn't as lively as last time, looking preoccupied, and it's unclear what he was worried about.

Now, the dinner table has become Yu Dazhang's domain.

He kept raising his glass, forcing Chen Yang and Liu Hai to drink along with him.

After finishing a case of beer, all three of them had flushed faces.

"What do you think happened today?" Chen Yang asked, reeking of alcohol.

"Why are they shooting again? They already shot once a while ago. Why is this never going to end?"

Liu Hai sighed, seemingly helpless, and said:

"Is there even a question? They must have been targeted, otherwise they wouldn't have moved."

Yu Dazhang narrowed his eyes, scanning the two men's faces several times before finally settling on Chen Yang.

"Where's your squirrel?" he asked, pointing to the cage on the desk.

The cage was now empty; the squirrel was nowhere to be seen.

"I'm looking for it too."

As Chen Yang spoke, his eyes swept around the room:
"When I came back in the afternoon, the cage was empty. I searched the whole house but couldn't find it."

You could tell from his expression that he was really afraid something would happen to the squirrel.

Yu Dazhang looked at him with a smile:
"Don't worry, the squirrel is with me."

He stood up and made a downward gesture to the two of them:

"Wait a moment, I'll go get it for you."

After saying that, he turned and left the room.

When he returned, he was carrying a shoebox. After sitting down, he opened it in front of the two of them.

Inside was the squirrel that Chen Yang kept.

"How did it end up at your place?" Chen Yang asked in surprise.

Yu Dazhang looked at him with a half-smile:
"This squirrel appeared in the woods outside the test area before the afternoon's shooting; someone deliberately let it out."

Just as Chen Yang and Liu Hai were looking on in surprise, he took out a transparent business card holder.

After waving the box in front of the two men, Yu Dazhang pointed to the cylindrical paper strip inside and said:

"This is a cipher found on a squirrel's leg. I really don't understand it. It's 2015 now, and there are still people using methods from a hundred years ago."
