Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 491 Cunning Opponent

How boring... Yu Dazhang really couldn't be bothered to talk to them about this.

"I haven't been involved in many cases, so where did the number of enemy kills come from?"

He explained with a helpless expression:
"Moreover, the nature of our work is quite different from yours; not all suspects are vicious and desperate criminals."

Seeing them nod in agreement, Yu Dazhang added:

"Besides, there are many different types of cases. When I first joined the police force, I was mainly responsible for anti-pickpocketing work."

That makes it clearer.

Anti-pickpocketing targets pickpocketing behavior, mostly petty thieves, and poses little danger.

These people didn't commit such serious crimes, so they didn't resist arrest.

Many police officers have spent their entire lives fighting pickpockets, but they've never even fired a gun, let alone killed a suspect.

"Not a single one?" the tall, thin team member asked again.

Yu Dazhang didn't answer, he just waved his hand.

“That shouldn’t be the case,” Xiao Yi replied.

"Your aura doesn't seem like someone who's never seen blood before; I can even smell the blood on you."

Wild beast perception... Yu Dazhang knew he wasn't exaggerating.

People in the National Security Bureau who deal with danger year-round have exceptionally sharp perception abilities.

This is an innate human ability, but now that we no longer hunt, this sensory ability has gradually atrophied.

Those butchers who slaughter animals possess this kind of aura.

When they approach the animals, the animals are usually terrified before they even make a move. Even the fiercest dogs will tuck their tails between their legs when they see them.

"You're being overly sensitive."

Yu Dazhang naturally could not admit it:
"Where is that blood smell coming from? That's too far-fetched. I can't smell it at all."

"How can I slack off now that I'm being honest..." he muttered to himself.

If these people knew the number of enemies he had killed, they would definitely think he was a master.

If danger arises, people will likely let him be at the forefront.

The risk is too great.

If given a choice, Yu Dazhang would naturally not want to take the risk; safety comes first.

Seeing that he kept denying it, the three of them didn't press him any further.

Of course, they were quite confident in their judgment, but since it involved personal privacy, they didn't want to pry too much.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the room quieted down, and the four of them found a place to close their eyes and rest.

At 6:30 p.m., it was completely dark outside, and they received the order to take action.

The four people got into a minivan and drove out of the 53rd Institute.

Fifteen minutes later, the van drove out of the outer checkpoint, traveled a short distance further, and stopped at a fork in the road.

No one in the car commented on the fact that it was parked there.

Yu Dazhang knew that the more conspicuous a place was, the less likely it was to arouse suspicion.

Especially at intersections where cars frequently pass by.

Conversely, parking your car in a secluded spot makes it more likely to be noticed.

The feeling of guilt when you're caught thief applies to all industries; even police officers staking out locations experience this mentality.

"So this is the professionalism of the National Security Bureau..." Yu Dazhang thought to himself.

He felt very secure working with someone like that.

The car was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and all four people were looking in different directions.

About half an hour later.

Yu Dazhang suddenly said in a low voice:
"coming."

The other three immediately looked in the direction he was observing.

Sure enough, a black SUV slowly drove up from a distance, not very fast, but very steadily.

"How did you know this car was?" Xiao Yi asked.

Ying Xuelian provided very limited information in her statement, only mentioning that the other party would arrive outside the test area at 8 PM. She knew nothing else, such as the exact number of people or the model of the vehicle they were driving.

The three people who were released earlier also did not mention any information about the vehicle.

Therefore, they had no idea what kind of car the other party would be driving.

This is also the main reason why they parked their car at the intersection to observe.

"Wang Ze is sitting in the passenger seat of that car."

Yu Dazhang said softly:
"There was a flash of light in the driver's seat of that car just now, probably from a cell phone. I recognized Wang Ze that way."

None of the three reacted after hearing this.

Or rather, they were all completely bewildered.

play?

Just now, from that distance, while the vehicle was still moving, the light flashed briefly, and you recognized the person?

Do your eyes have built-in 8x magnification?
In the brief moment they were stunned, the black SUV drove past them, heading straight towards the 53rd Research Institute.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yi picked up the satellite phone and dialed:

"A black SUV is driving towards the target area..."

He paused for a moment, gritted his teeth, and added:
"We found Wang Ze sitting in the passenger seat."

His saying this meant that he believed Yu Dazhang's words and regarded him as a member of the group.

Even if Yu Dazhang was wrong, it was the mistake of their entire group.

Distrust is not an option either; this fat man has always done outrageous things, but he has never made a mistake.

What follows is a long wait.

About twenty minutes later, another group replied:
"It has been confirmed that the black SUV is the target vehicle. There are four people on the other side. They have now broken through the outer checkpoint and entered the mountain road."

It really is that car!

At that moment, all three people in the car couldn't help but glance at Yu Dazhang.

Their eyesight is amazing.

Those who can join the National Security Special Operations Team must have eyesight that is at least above the standard, if not exceptionally good.

But compared to this fat man, they felt like they were severely nearsighted.

At this moment, Yu Dazhang was completely unaware of their actions.

He was leaning back in the back seat, resting with his eyes closed.

Contrary to his outward calm, his mind was racing.

He glanced at the time when the other group replied.

7:12.

At the mercenaries' pace, it would take them about half an hour to cross that mountain.

Based on this timeline, they will arrive outside the test area fifteen minutes earlier than expected.

This time must have been calculated beforehand; it's neither too early nor too late.

The leader was very professional, and the timing of the rendezvous was also very clever.

If an inexperienced person were to lead the tour, they would most likely schedule the time for the late hours of the night.

In such a mountain valley, the dead of night is even more dangerous, as any slight movement will alert the guards.

Moreover, Ying Xuelian didn't have a chance to come out during this period.

In contrast, these problems do not exist at 8 PM.

This is precisely when people have finished dinner and are relaxing, which is also the time when the guards are most relaxed.

As for Xue Lian, she could easily find any excuse to leave the experimental area during this period.

A cunning opponent... Yu Dazhang silently assessed in his mind.

Before we knew it, another hour had passed.

The message came from Li Mingzhao.

"The other side has successfully made contact and has entered the mountains. They should be able to escape the target area in about 20 minutes. You don't need to follow too closely. Ying Xuelian has a tracking device on her."
