Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 485 She had long since run out of options.

"If you don't come back soon, the traitor will find me."

Yu Dazhang replied irritably, then asked:
Did you bring back what I asked for?

Li Mingzhao glanced at Ye Lin, then took a briefcase from her hand.

"I brought it to you."

He took a thick file folder from his briefcase and handed it to Yu Dazhang:
"The information of all the core members of that education foundation is in there, as well as all their donation records."

Why is it so thick...? Yu Dazhang took it and weighed it in his hand.

This is about the same size as a dictionary.

"Give me another day."

Yu Dazhang rarely makes guarantees, but this situation is special, and he must deal with it as soon as possible.

"Actually, it doesn't need to be that complicated," Li Mingzhao suggested.
"You can tell us who you suspect, and we'll take care of the rest. Don't worry, we will never wrong an innocent person."

His meaning was clear: let Yu Dazhang designate people, and then they would conduct the interrogation.

This eliminates the need for evidence collection, making it the simplest and most efficient method.

The fact that he could say such a thing shows how much he trusts Da Zhang.

"Okay, then write it down."

Yu Dazhang laughed in anger:

"Everyone on the research team is a suspect, including the two academicians."

“Arrest them all and interrogate them one by one. With your efficiency, you can find the traitor within a day, and maybe even a few more.”

As he spoke, his tone changed:

"If you can't find it, then you'll give them jobs one by one until you uncover the traitor."

His words stunned Li Mingzhao and Ye Lin.

If we really did that, wouldn't it become like the Zhaizidong Concentration Camp?

What do they take us for?

Asking you to state your goal is a sign of trust, so why are you angry?

At the same time, Li Mingzhao also realized that the fat man was stating his position.

He would not easily point out a suspect without absolute certainty and solid evidence.

"I was a bit too impatient."

Li Mingzhao explained:

“Although we have more resources, we will still act in accordance with the law. In fact, except for some special people and things, we have never done anything wrong.”

"I hope so..." Yu Dazhang thought to himself.

He still trusts the National Security Bureau because everything they do is for the national interest.

The next day.

Yu Dazhang arrived at the experimental hall with red eyes.

He barely slept a wink last night.

The education foundation's documents are far too numerous and complex.

Even with his ability to read quickly, it still took him the entire night to finish reading it.

He didn't close the documents until dawn, and then took a short nap.

"Professor Ying, you've looked tired these past few days. Have you not been getting enough rest?"

As soon as they arrived in the lobby, Yu Dazhang greeted Ying Xuelian warmly.

"You're the one who's talking to me! Look at yourself in the mirror, your eyes are so red."

Ying Xuelian gave him a reproachful look:
"What time did you go to bed last night? How did you end up like this?"

This glance immediately boosted Yu Dazhang's spirits, and his complexion became much rosier.

He smiled and lowered his voice to reply:

"I thought about you all night last night, and only got a little sleep this morning."

These words, which sounded somewhat ambiguous, sounded extremely cold coming from Yu Dazhang's mouth.

Upon hearing this, Ying Xuelian's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

She smiled slightly and replied:
"Stop being disrespectful and focus on your work. If you really can't hold on any longer, go back and get some more sleep."

Yu Dazhang remained unmoved and said coldly as before:
"No, I've just figured out a bit of the trick, and I'm afraid I'll lose you in the blink of an eye."

His words were tantamount to a public showdown.

From his confident tone, it was clear that he was convinced that Ying Xuelian was the traitor.

"I'll give you an hour to hand over your work."

Yu Dazhang's face darkened: "This is also the last time I'll assist you."

Ying Xuelian frowned, clearly disgusted by his domineering attitude.

"What right do you have to make me hand over my work?"

She stared intently at Yu Dazhang, her eyes revealing a hint of anger, as if she wanted to see right through him.

After a pause, she said in a slightly questioning tone:
"Don't forget your place. You're just a member of my group, not even a teaching assistant. You have no right to talk to me like that."

Having been there for so long, this was the first time Yu Dazhang had seen Ying Xuelian lose her composure.

She is usually gentle and considerate, making people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze, as if nothing can disturb her peace of mind.

But at that moment, she panicked.

Even with her excellent acting skills, she couldn't hide the fear and unease deep in her eyes.

"Three days ago, you came to me with a squirrel, trying to make me think you were testing me."

Yu Dazhang stared at her, his expression cold:

"Actually, you came to appease me, to make me think you had another move planned. In fact, from the day after Liu Hai was taken away, you already knew I was a policeman."

"You're so smart. At least among the women I know, you have the highest IQ and EQ."

He was speaking from the heart.

In his view, Ying Xuelian was able to become a professor at the age of 30 entirely due to her own abilities.

Previously, Yu Dazhang couldn't understand what could make a proud woman like Ying Xuelian betray her country.

He found the answer last night after reviewing the education foundation's materials.

Two points:

1. Cultivate from a young age.

From the moment Ying Xuelian took the college entrance exam, she had no way out.

Her life had already been planned out for her, and she had no chance to resist.

2. Handle.

Her identity as a spy can no longer be changed.

Therefore, she had no choice but to remain in hiding.

Once she leaves academia, it means she loses her usefulness.

As for the outcome...

To put it simply: neither the legitimate nor the criminal world will let her go.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

Ying Xuelian took a half step back, her face remaining calm:

"I've never heard of police here before."

It seems she won't admit it unless she presents something real... Yu Dazhang looked at her helplessly, then sighed:

"The education foundation was eliminated by the National Security Bureau, and its related organizations and enterprises were also cleaned up."

Upon hearing this, Ying Xuelian's expression finally changed.

Her once rosy face instantly lost all color.

Yu Dazhang didn't give her a chance to react and continued:

"I didn't expect Guoan to act so quickly, did I? They even brought me back some information about the education foundation last night."

"One of them is quite interesting. It records a charity event that the foundation held 20 years ago."

At this point, Ying Xuelian suddenly raised her head, a look of shock flashing in her eyes.

"Go ahead and make the handover."

Yu Dazhang knew she understood, so he didn't say anything more, just waved his hand:

“You’ve been following this project for so long, you have to see it through to the end.”

Ying Xuelian didn't say anything more, she just nodded.

after an hour.

When she stood in front of Yu Dazhang again, her complexion had returned to normal, and the light in her eyes was even brighter than before.

Yu Dazhang even saw relief on her face.

It's a feeling of letting go of burdens and being freed from constraints; it's a release from the past and a sense of acceptance of the future.

Looking at Ying Xuelian like this, a thought suddenly popped into Yu Dazhang's mind.

This woman is terrible.
