Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 575 The position of deputy captain is not very auspicious

Stop making empty promises... Yu Dazhang isn't stupid.

It sounds like he's been promoted to deputy chief, but in reality, he's just doing the same job while being paid the salary of an ordinary criminal police officer.

Do you think I'm stupid?

If one's name is not proper and one's words are not righteous, one's efforts will be in vain and unre

"Forget it, I'll stay at the branch office."

Yu Dazhang waved his hand:

"I declined."

The captain clearly didn't want to let him off so easily, so he continued to persuade him:
"Don't worry, as long as you come, the position of deputy captain will be yours sooner or later."

"I can assure you that this position will remain vacant until you are promoted."

He paused briefly, seemingly giving Yu Dazhang some time to think, before continuing:

“Until then, you can exercise the powers of the deputy chief of staff. I don’t think anyone will object to you, and you have the ability to do so.”

The captain's tone became increasingly sincere:

"Don't worry about the higher-ups, I'll put in a good word for them, and I'm sure they'll agree."

"They agree, but I disagree..." Yu Dazhang thought to himself.

Within the system, everything must be done according to organizational procedures; promotions cannot be made simply by liking someone.

They even reserved one position.

"You dare to keep it, but I dare not take it..." Yu Dazhang waved his hand again:
"I declined."

"Why?" The captain seemed puzzled.

"That's not the position I want," Yu Dazhang said with a wry smile.
"Moreover, the position of deputy chief is not considered auspicious."

"Unlucky?" Upon hearing these three words, the captain couldn't help but glare at him.

It's all your fault that this is bad luck.

Seeing that Da Zhang wouldn't budge, he had no choice but to settle for second best:

“I can see that you’re determined to stay at the Hongkou branch. Here’s what we’ll do: if you ever want to change your work environment, you must come here. I guarantee I’ll get you a good position.”

“Wan…” Yu Dazhang opened his mouth, but in the end he could only nod:

"Okay, I'll definitely consider going to the headquarters first when the time comes."

Unable to refuse such hospitality, Yu Dazhang felt embarrassed to turn down the offer.

However, he also genuinely believed that the position of deputy chief commander was somewhat unlucky.

I wanted to persuade the chief to go to the temple to pray, but then I remembered that the most famous abbot in the country in my previous life had been arrested by the police.

Before this, a patriotic entrepreneur who only spent 50,000 yuan a year also had his grave collapse.

There aren't many truly genuine things left in this world.

at the same time.

Province N.

Inside the provincial department's conference room, Team Leader Hua was listening to the special task force's report.

"The current number has increased to twelve."

One of the officers said:
"According to the factory owner, the other party took the person away under the pretext of borrowing and never returned them. Since the deadline had not yet arrived, they did not urge them to return the person."

Another officer then added:
"That so-called factory was just an empty shell; the legal representative was someone else who was paid to take his place."

"It's called a garment factory, but there isn't even a single sewing machine inside. Those people just put up a sign at the factory gate to make it look like a factory."

It's been almost four months since the slavery case was filed, but it's not completely over yet.

Yu Dazhang only experienced the process of solving the case here. After solving the case, the investigation began, which means the police conducted a comprehensive review of the case.

The difficulty in this slavery case lies in the mentally disabled people who were enslaved.

First, their identities must be verified, then their families must claim them, and the next step, whether they will be employed by the current factory, will depend on the families' wishes.

The problem arose during the family identification process. First, a girl's family came to claim her, but they couldn't find her.

The girl was clearly registered with the criminals, and her personal information matched, yet she disappeared right there at the factory.

As the search for missing girls continued, more and more were found, and the provincial authorities realized the seriousness of the situation.

If only one or two girls went missing, it could be explained that the factory wasn't keeping a close eye on them and they ran away.

After all, it involves tens of thousands of people, so it's normal for one or two to escape.

The number of missing persons that can be found is approaching ten, and all of them are women, generally between 20 and 35 years old.

Once a pattern is found in anything, it is basically determined by human intervention.

The provincial department ultimately concluded: a case within a case!
Or rather, this case of slavery is also connected to another case.

Therefore, the Provincial Public Security Department's Criminal Investigation Division immediately established a special task force to investigate the matter.

Two months have passed, and the number of missing girls has reached twelve, but the case is progressing very slowly.

"Why would those factory owners secretly lend people out?" Captain Hua asked.

He called a meeting with the task force today to find out why the case is progressing slowly.

Two months! The entire slavery case investigation didn't even take that long.

If this investigation continues, the case will become a cold case.

"The other party charges 30,000 yuan for each person they borrow. Half of the fee is paid upfront for a period of three months. After the period expires, the person is returned, and the other half is paid in full."

The deputy head of the task force replied:

"For those factory owners, this is equivalent to an extra source of income."

"After all, they only need to pay each of these mentally disabled people a monthly salary of 1,500 yuan."

His voice revealed a sense of helplessness regarding this behavior:
"By lending it out like this, their monthly salary increased to 10,000 yuan. In three months, a woman can bring them 25,000 yuan in net profit."

"In their eyes, it's like picking up money for free."

There was no need to go into too much detail. Captain Hua, being a criminal investigator by training, was quick-witted and immediately understood upon hearing this.

The other party had clearly planned this all along, using money to lure those factory owners.

Three months is neither a long nor a short time; it's just the right amount of time to complete a scam cycle.

During this cycle, they will try to lure as many girls as possible, and then suddenly disappear in the third month.

In that case, the factory owners can only accept their bad luck.

After all, this kind of double-crossing is something that can't be done in the light of day.

Moreover, those factory owners were looking for long-term cooperation, which is why they were fooled. No one is immune to greed.

"The timing is quite coincidental."

Team leader Hua lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled a cloud of smoke.
"The case of slavery entered the investigation stage as soon as the other party started borrowing girls from these factory owners."

If the slavery case hadn't been solved by Yu Dazhang, he would have even suspected that there was something fishy going on.

"How did they know there were mentally disabled people in the industrial zone?" Captain Hua asked again.

He guessed that the other party was likely also involved in this kind of business, but was more discreet than Zhang Chao and his group.

The only thing I can't figure out is why they only want women?
Is it to satisfy people with special fetishes?

There are always some weirdos in this world who have all sorts of unimaginable hobbies.

Team Hua has encountered many criminals with deviant tendencies.

"According to one boss, he first met a man at a drinking party."

The deputy team leader replied:

"After he got drunk, he told the other person about his factory employing mentally disabled people."

"Later, the other party asked him to borrow the girl. The man has now been arrested, but he was just a middleman, and the clues ended with him."
