Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 549 Your words are equivalent to the city bureau's order

"We have a task at hand, and we're conducting an investigation..."

Yu Dazhang had only spoken halfway when Li Jun hung up the phone.

Just as he was about to tell his master about this, his phone rang again.

This time it happened to be Wei Qian calling.

As soon as the call connected, Captain Wei's voice came through the phone:

"You and your master go to the city police station immediately. The two team members stay there. I've already sent another officer to your location."

“Received!” Yu Dazhang replied immediately.

He naturally had to resolutely carry out orders from his direct superiors.

He put away his phone, went to his master's side, explained the situation, and then his master drove them straight to the municipal police station.

On the road.

"The next step is to investigate this prison break."

Looking at the road conditions ahead, Lü Zhongxin analyzed:
"The fact that you're the only one taking me means that the two team members who are with me aren't qualified to participate in the rest of the investigation, at least that's what Team Leader Li thinks."

For him, this was something he didn't even need to think about.

Veteran detectives can usually guess what their superiors are thinking with a high degree of accuracy just by listening to them.

Yu Dazhang gripped the steering wheel, focused intently on the road ahead, and nodded slightly.
"This prison break is probably not simple."

A hint of worry was in his tone:
“The Municipal Public Security Bureau must have already checked the detention center’s surveillance footage, and the Criminal Investigation Division also intervened in the investigation immediately after the incident. Under these circumstances, the fact that they still sent us over must mean that something difficult has happened.”

As he spoke, his brows were furrowed.

There was something that neither the master nor the apprentice mentioned, but it was what puzzled them the most.

How did those three serious criminals escape from the detention center?

This is what they care about most.

Of course, there have been many successful jailbreaks in China, but they have become increasingly rare in recent years.

With technological advancements, these advancements have naturally been applied to prison security systems.

Although the detention center is not a real prison, its security measures are just as strict.

There's another point that the master and apprentice couldn't understand.

None of the three fugitives were confirmed to be sentenced to death, so there was no need for them to escape.

In other words, he wouldn't have died otherwise, but if the prison break failed, he would definitely be dead.

Even if they successfully escape, the chances of being caught are very high.

Unless someone is tired of living, who would risk their life like that?

"The Criminal Investigation Department doesn't have a very good impression of you."

Lü Zhongxin reminded him:

You need to keep that in mind.

He gives the impression of being too rigid, but that's because he adheres to his principles.

If it really comes down to brains, his experience alone puts him ahead of most people in the group.

"The case is the top priority."

Yu Dazhang knew that his master was doing it for his own good:
"Since they've sent us there, the leaders must have already thought it through. They must have already resolved all the difficulties we might have encountered."

As the two were talking, the car drove into the city bureau compound.

Li Jun gave him ten minutes, but he floored the gas pedal the whole way and only took seven minutes.

The two stopped the car and immediately got out, jogging to the steps at the entrance.

Li Jun was standing at the door, waiting for them, with Ma Jian and Liu Miao standing behind him.

"Old Lu, you wait here." Li Jun didn't stand on ceremony and said directly to them:
"Da Zhang, come with me."

Following him upstairs, Yu Dazhang soon met Director Liu, who had just finished a meeting.

At this moment, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Corps walked out of the conference room and nodded to Yu Dazhang after seeing him.

Upon seeing this, Yu Dazhang quickly returned a smile as a sign of politeness.

After the captain left, Li Jun closed the conference room door, leaving only the three of them in the large conference room.

"The fugitives evaded the city's surveillance network. Preliminary assessment suggests that they hijacked a vehicle and used it as cover to leave Hongkou District."

Liu Ju's expression was grave:

“It’s been almost four hours since the incident, but we still haven’t found any clues. We don’t even know which direction they fled in.” Yu Dazhang listened attentively without saying anything.

He didn't dare to express his opinion. Director Liu's words just now sounded like a report to him, and under these circumstances, he had no way to respond.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Director Liu suddenly shouted:
"Yu Dazhang!"

"To!"

"Is it possible to catch a fugitive in a single day?!"

Yu Dazhang had the word "can" on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed it back.

Why are we having to play the military order game again?

It's 2015 already, why do we still have to swear an oath before solving a case?

If swearing can solve a case, there's no need for criminal police; just kneel down and swear—it's much simpler.

Besides, I'm not some turtle in a wishing well.

"I try my best."

This was the only answer Yu Dazhang could give.

Although this statement may not sound very powerful, it is the one that best reflects human nature.

After all, no one can guarantee 100% that they will be able to solve the case; doing his best is already the limit of what he can do.

Seeing that he didn't know his place, Li Jun retorted to him from the side.

Director Liu didn't say anything about not being able to solve the case, so just cooperate and make a statement.

"You..." Director Liu clearly did not expect Yu Dazhang to be uncooperative.

However, he was only stunned for a moment before he immediately came to his senses.

The more capable a person is, the more individualistic they tend to be, and he understands that.

"I believe you can do it."

Director Liu changed his strategy and said with a serious expression:

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

Well, the pressure is still on my head... Yu Dazhang sometimes really admires these big shots.

If they want to, there are plenty of ways to increase the intensity for you.

You won't even have a chance to struggle.

However, Director Liu wasn't the kind of leader who only knew how to exert pressure; he immediately made a promise:
“If you encounter any obstacles during the investigation, you can contact me directly. You can also arrest anyone involved in this case without any hesitation.”

"In addition, I have spoken with the Criminal Investigation Department. They are ready to follow your orders at any time. From now on, your words are equivalent to the orders of the Municipal Bureau."

"You've delegated authority?" Yu Dazhang could hardly believe what he was hearing.

Director Liu was so anxious.

Even Li Jun, who was standing to the side, looked at Director Liu with disbelief.

Now he had no choice but to speak up… Yu Dazhang puffed out his chest and said loudly:

"If the fugitive is not found by this time tomorrow, the entire staff of our Hongkou branch will resign!"

Director Liu: ? ? ? ?

Can you represent the Hongkou branch?
Open your mouth and come.

If you're going to exaggerate, at least make it believable.

Li Jun almost swore.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone pull together their own colleagues to make a statement.

You're aiming for mutual destruction, aren't you?

I left the Municipal Bureau.

"Let Ma Jian and Liu Miao come with you; you'll be more efficient together."

It was clear that Li Jun had brought the two of them along specifically to cooperate with Yu Dazhang in handling the case.

After parting ways with Li Jun, Yu Dazhang and the other three drove to the detention center.

Since the case has to be solved within a day, I'm destined to stay up all night tonight.

P.S.: The following content is a bit unrealistic because this prison break case is based on a true story. Reality is always more fantastical than fiction.
