Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 533 Professional Ethics Engraved in Our Bones
Fourth Sister, whose real name is Bao Lin, is 31 years old and a native of Songhai...

When Yu Dazhang met her, she was having a spa treatment at a high-end club.

It must be said, she knows how to enjoy herself.

Before coming, Yu Dazhang had heard that this club operated on a membership system and focused on a high-end, private experience.

No matter how private the location, it cannot stop criminal police from handling cases.

To ensure the operation went smoothly, Li Jun specially arranged for four female police officers to be brought in.

When Bao Lin was brought out after changing her clothes, Yu Dazhang couldn't help but take a second look at her.

At first glance, she wasn't the kind of woman who was particularly beautiful, but every move she made had a unique feminine charm.

If you didn't already know her background, it would be hard to imagine that she was a middleman operating in a gray area.

Yu Dazhang approached Bao Lin and asked, looking at her:
Do you know Zhang Yanlong?

Upon hearing this name, her previously calm expression immediately wavered, and she bit her lower lip, saying:

"know."

In terms of assessing the situation and making judgments, she surpasses the vast majority of people.

Since they can name the people, it means the police know about their relationship, and there's no point in denying it.

Surrounded by so many police officers, she was still able to think calmly, which shows that this woman is not simple.

Yu Dazhang stared at her and said coldly:
"Wasn't it you who planned out the online lending business for him?"

“How could it be a plot?” Bao Lin’s expression changed several times, and her smile became stiff.

“I mentioned it briefly when we were having dinner and chatting, but I don’t know anything about it after that.”

She still knew... Yu Dazhang could tell from Bao Lin's changing expression that she was lying.

The two policewomen then handcuffed Bao Lin.

"Hey, how can you just come here and arrest people like this!"

A man in a suit walked over quickly, followed by several young men in similar black suits.

High-end clubs are indeed different; they really know how to handle things when needed… Yu Dazhang blocked their way:

"You are?"

"I'm the manager here." The man in the suit glared angrily.

"You're doing this..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Dazhang waved his hand:

“Take them all away if they violently obstruct law enforcement.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the police officers on both sides rushed forward, quickly subdued the men, and escorted them toward the door.

The other people in the club had already followed the man in the suit over.

But when they heard the fat man utter "violent obstruction of law enforcement," they were all stunned.

It seems our manager only gave a self-introduction, and before he could even finish speaking, he was accused of something.

In all honesty, he may have obstructed law enforcement, but he really had nothing to do with violence.

After that, no one else dared to take another step forward.

Yu Dazhang turned around, and with just one glance, they were so frightened that they retreated one after another.

In the interrogation room.

After asking for basic information, Yu Dazhang went straight to the point:
"If you don't have the ability to get that much money from the bank, then tell me, who's behind you?"

That's ten million. Even if Bao Lin has all the power, she can't control the bank. She's obviously just doing her job.

"I don't understand what you're talking about," Bao Lin said nonchalantly.

“Zhang Yanlong’s online lending platform is legal and compliant, and the bank loan went through the normal process. Even if he has problems with his operations, it has nothing to do with me.”

She regained her composure, as if she had already come up with a solution.

"Someone's dead."

Seeing that she was still unaware of the seriousness of the matter, Yu Dazhang truthfully explained the situation to her:

“Zhang Yanlong’s violent debt collection methods drove a female college student to her death by jumping off a building, which has recently resulted in two deaths.”

His voice turned somber:

"Do you still think this has nothing to do with you?"

After hearing this, Bao Lin was stunned.

She stared blankly at Yu Dazhang in front of her, as if trying to find traces of lying on his face.

"How, how could it be?"

Bao Lin said, trembling, "I know him. He couldn't possibly have that kind of guts. You must have made a mistake..."

Her voice grew weaker and weaker, and her eyes widened, as if she could no longer bear the blow of the news.

Yu Dazhang remained silent, simply watching her quietly.

The woman opposite me is very smart; she can figure it out on her own without needing any further explanation.

Sure enough, after only ten seconds, Bao Lin raised her head again:
“I will tell you everything, I only ask for leniency.”

Yu Dazhang nodded:

"That depends on your attitude."

Talking to a smart person is so easy; she can see the situation clearly on her own and then make the right choice.

There's a recent claim...

Confess and you'll be treated leniently, but you'll serve your life in jail; resist and you'll be punished severely, but you'll be allowed to go home for the New Year.

If you believe this, you're in for a world of trouble.

One suspect did just that, and he even left behind a few classic defiant quotes:
"Don't you dare yell at me!"

"Go ahead and shoot me if you dare."

"I'm afraid of you, Judge."

"Nonsense! Nonsense!"

The rest of the story is quite inspiring; this most arrogant suspect's grave is now overgrown with weeds several meters high...

"Last year, a leader approached me and asked me to help take the lead in doing something."

Bao Lin slowly said:

"He didn't say it explicitly, but what he meant was that I should step in and help the son of a city leader do some business."

She paused briefly, then continued:

"When he told me the name of that leader, I immediately agreed, because given my usual social circle and status, I would never have the opportunity to come into contact with a leader of that level."

"So, I am naturally very happy to have such an opportunity to do things for him."

At this point, she sighed softly:

"It wasn't until I helped Zhang Yanlong get the loan approved that I realized that if he wanted to curry favor with his superiors, he wouldn't need to go through me at all."

"After thinking about it carefully, I realized that his real purpose was to use Zhang Yanlong to frame his father."

Bao Lin's tone became somewhat heavy:
“I talked to him about this, and he told me very frankly that he really just wanted Zhang Yanlong to encounter difficulties in the operation, which would eventually lead to the company’s bankruptcy.”

"This will cause some trouble and negative impact on Zhang Yanlong's father."

She frowned.
"I don't think he lied to me. I wouldn't say I've seen countless people, but I can at least tell the difference between lies."

"Even he probably didn't expect things to develop to this point."

They've gone too far... Yu Dazhang had only heard of power struggles in officialdom before, but he had never actually witnessed them.

He couldn't believe the matter would be so complicated.

However, he had often heard the phrase "bring down a certain leader" before, but the way this was done was too despicable.

They really went to any lengths.

Even if Bao Lin didn't say anything, Yu Dazhang could guess who the person who asked her for a favor was.

One assumption is enough.

Suppose that leader left their current position due to negative impacts.

So, whoever benefits the most from this matter is the mastermind behind it.

That's right, locking down the vested interests is equivalent to locking down the mastermind behind the scenes.

Yu Dazhang also noticed that Bao Lin gave a very detailed account, but did not mention the names of any leaders, or even their specific positions.

That's professional ethics.

It's a professional ethic ingrained in our bones.

He confessed to the case and even kept it a secret for his superiors.

Looking at Bao Lin in front of him, Yu Dazhang suddenly had an idea.

As a middleman, her actions were understandable, but Secretary Hong's sacrifice was a bit too much.

Is it really necessary to go to such lengths to please your boss?
Yu Dazhang had a premonition that Bao Lin, who was standing in front of him, could give him the answer.

After thinking about it, he still asked:
"You should know Secretary Hong, right?"
