Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 481 He has never disappointed.
Was it not him who betrayed them?

Upon hearing this answer, Yu Dazhang's expression darkened slightly, clearly as it was beyond his expectations.

If Liu Hai is telling the truth, then this matter is quite complicated.

The whole incident started with the disappearance of the researcher.

They found the mole, but still couldn't figure out how the researcher was exposed.

Could it really be that researcher who exposed his identity?
wrong.

It's not like this.

This possibility had already been ruled out.

This also ruled out the possibility of researchers defecting.

Since the problem doesn't lie with the researchers, it must be due to issues within the experimental zone itself.

Yu Dazhang glanced at Liu Hai, then turned to look at Chen Yang.

Human error...

Besides Liu Hai, there's also a traitor in the test zone!
Upon having this thought, Yu Dazhang felt a tingling sensation in his heels, his heart raced, and his palms broke out in a cold sweat.

For a scientific research project that the country attaches such importance to, having even one traitor is already a fatal problem, but now there's another one.

No, that's not accurate.

The other mole has been here longer, is more deeply embedded, and has very likely already accessed the most critical secrets.

This is no longer a classified unit... Yu Dazhang felt that the 53rd Institute was like a sieve, with loopholes being exploited one after another.

Those seemingly rigorous layers of review, however, fail to reveal the true nature of people's hearts.

"Did that education foundation infiltrate us a long time ago?" Yu Dazhang asked tentatively.

"I don't know about that." Liu Hai shook his head.

"The foundation has never disclosed to me who specifically received funding."

No lie.

Yu Dazhang kept staring at his face, but saw no sign of him lying.

Moreover, that foundation wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

If the traitors get to know each other, and one of them is exposed, the others will also be in grave danger.

"What messages did you send out on both occasions?" Yu Dazhang asked, his face grim.

The first message could not be verified, but the second message was in his possession.

So he's not afraid of his bangs lying.

Because if we find the codebook, we can know the truth.

"The first thing is the personnel configuration of the research team, and the basic information of each of them."

Liu Hai replied:
"This time, it's about the specific locations of the researchers in the living area."

Their target was indeed people... just as Yu Dazhang had predicted.

Which book is the codebook?

He has obtained all the information he wanted; now he only needs to find the book and verify it.

The National Security Bureau will handle the rest.

"The Chinese translation of *Bel Ami*," Liu Hai answered truthfully.
"It's right on my desk."

Yu Dazhang then had the guards notify the National Security Bureau, while he went to Liu Hai's room and found the book "Bel Ami".

Guoan moved very quickly; before Yu Dazhang could even return to Chen Yang's room, Li Mingzhao and the others had already arrived.

Upon meeting, Li Mingzhao couldn't wait to ask:
"confirmed?"

Yu Dazhang hesitated for a moment, then nodded:
"He has already confessed, and the codebook has been found."

He handed the book to Li Mingzhao and continued:

“He was very cooperative. I suggested that we didn’t need to use any tricks and just ask him directly.”

Yu Dazhang knew very well that the National Security Bureau would definitely conduct a thorough review.

Only by having a clear understanding of all the details can we formulate the next step of the plan.

Moreover, if Liu Hai, the traitor, is used properly, he can deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

He is like a double-edged sword; it depends on how the person wields it.

"rest assured."

Li Mingzhao readily agreed:
"As long as he cooperates honestly, we will naturally treat him well."

The entire building was now sealed off; no one could get in from the outside, and those inside were forbidden from leaving their rooms. "Give me a few more days," Yu Dazhang said hesitantly.

There are some things I haven't figured out yet.

His meaning was clear: he wanted to continue lying low.

Just by looking at his expression, Li Mingzhao could guess what he wanted to do.

"You believe there's still a traitor?" Li Mingzhao asked in a low voice.

"Also a researcher?"

His tone was calm, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

In such a secret unit, the presence of even one traitor is troublesome enough.

Adding one more would be a disaster for the entire project.

"Can't tell."

Yu Dazhang looked around, then answered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"That person is hiding too well. I deduced it logically, but I feel that I should be right."

As he said this, his expression turned serious:

"If I'm not mistaken, the person they really want to make contact with isn't Liu Hai, but someone who's been hiding much deeper."

Upon hearing this, Li Mingzhao frowned.

After a moment of contemplation, he finally spoke:
"How come the investigation is getting more and more complicated?"

Although he said that, he had no doubt about Da Zhang's judgment.

This fat guy's logical ability is just too strong.

Every doubt he raised eventually became a crucial clue, and without exception, they were all confirmed.

More importantly, Yu Dazhang has never disappointed.

Before he arrived, Li Mingzhao had secretly sent out three groups of people to investigate the traitor.

As a result, they didn't even manage to find the traitor, and they were easily exposed by the researchers before they could even last two days.

There's no way around it; everyone on the research team here is highly educated, and without certain professional knowledge, you simply can't fit in.

"I do not want this."

Yu Dazhang sighed:
"But now that we've discovered the problem, we can't just leave it unattended. Whether I'm a police officer or a person, I don't have the habit of giving up halfway."

He unusually adopted a high-handed attitude.

It has to be said that it feels really good to stand on the moral high ground and criticize others.

Li Mingzhao was rebuffed, but instead of getting angry, he laughed:
"Whether you're a police officer or a person, I have high hopes for you. I know you won't let me down."

Oh no, I've been labeled... Yu Dazhang's heart tightened.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have never gained the upper hand in front of this Team Leader Li.

One moment you're in the lead, and the other person just says one sentence and the situation is completely reversed.

Yu Dazhang knew very well that what Li Mingzhao valued most about him was his ability to handle cases.

But only he himself knew that every question he raised was selected from countless hypotheses.

Sometimes, for a single point of doubt, he has to make dozens of assumptions, but often none of these assumptions are actually used.

Therefore, in Yu Dazhang's view, there is no shortcut to investigating cases.

Except for rebirth benefits.

The next day.

The experimental hall.

Of Yu Dazhang's two close friends, only one remains.

During a break, the two huddled together.

"Don't worry," Chen Yang said with a serious expression.

"I will never tell anyone your true identity."

Yu Dazhang looked at him and smiled:
"I actually hope you tell anyone."

"Why?" Chen Yang asked, looking bewildered.

“That would save me trouble.” Yu Dazhang stared at him and said in a low voice:
"You're also on my list of suspects. If my identity is exposed, it must be because you told me."
