Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 598 Does being fat make you look like a policeman?
Yu Dazhang naturally heard it all clearly.

With his hearing ability, he doesn't need to wear any listening devices at all.

He wasn't surprised at all when he heard that the other party wanted to speak to the police.

Yesterday, the police searched the entire village and went door-to-door to ask questions. With such a large operation, they must have gotten wind of it.

After all, it's the place where they grew up, so it's not surprising that someone would tip them off.

Upon hearing the other party's request, Bai Jincheng's mother immediately agreed:

"Okay, please wait a moment."

As she spoke, she handed her phone to Yu Dazhang.

Taking the phone and holding it to his ear, Yu Dazhang calmly began to speak:

"Tell me what you want."

The only thing that seemed off to him was why the other person was covering up their original voice.

Since they knew the police had been to their village, they should have realized that their identities had been exposed.

Using a voice changer to cover up the voice would be redundant.
"I believe you have already seen the contents of the CD."

The synthesized voice sounded again, its tone cold and detached:

"If you don't want the hostages to be in danger, find someone to put the money from both families in one car."

"The person escorting the vehicle cannot be a police officer. I will call you again in an hour to tell you what to do next."

Before Da Zhang could even speak, the other end of the phone hung up.

"Just tell me what you want to do..." Yu Dazhang thought to himself.

It seems that every kidnapper who uses their brain follows this pattern.

They seem to think they can't show off their intelligence unless they come up with some tricks.

Just as he was about to contact his master, Lü Zhongxin called first.

"The kidnappers just contacted the Su family and asked us to find a car and put the money from both families into one car."

He speaks very quickly:
"They also demanded that the person escorting the vehicle not be a police officer."

The other party called the Su family first... Yu Dazhang immediately made a judgment.

They called both companies, but didn't ask if the money was ready.

It seems the other party isn't worried about money at all.

"I'll go find you."

Yu Dazhang thought for a moment and said:
"It's safer to use my SUV to transport the money."

For now, we can only do as they ask.

And as the apprentice, he naturally had to take on this errand-running job.

With the help of the Su family, they worked with Yu Dazhang to get the money into his SUV.

This was the first time Yu Dazhang had carried so much money. He didn't know if it was just psychological, but although the package was heavy, he didn't feel that strained.

The Bai couple also came to the Su family with him.

After the master and apprentice met, they immediately reported the case to Wei Qian.

"It's not easy to find someone to escort the vehicle."

Wei Qian looked quite troubled, clearly not having decided on a suitable candidate yet.

The person escorting the vehicle not only needs to be clever, but also cannot reveal their identity.

The other party made it clear that police escorts could not be present, as the hostages could be in danger if their identities were discovered.

"I think Zhang Sen from the Second Brigade is capable of this task."

Yu Dazhang proposed:

"In our bureau, no one can beat him when it comes to disguise and concealment, and he is also the fastest in the bureau when it comes to pursuit."

After listening, Wei Qian nodded thoughtfully.

You should know that Zhang Sen's nickname used to be "Little Cheetah".

Although no one had called out for a long time, it was undeniable that he was still number one in terms of speed. Lu Zhongxin, standing to the side, rolled his eyes at Yu Dazhang.

For Zhang Sen, the arrival of his apprentice at the branch office was the beginning of a nightmare.

First, they took away Zhang Sen's nickname.

Later, when they worked on cases together as a pair, Zhang Sen broke another leg.

My leg wasn't even healed yet, but he dragged me out to go undercover at the hospital.

Later, the apprentice took his brother Sen to another province to investigate a slavery case, where he disguised himself as a mentally disabled person and was kidnapped by criminals.

Lü Zhongxin witnessed Zhang Sen's ordeal along the way.

In his view, Zhang Sen is only alive because of the good deeds of his ancestors; anyone else would probably have died in the line of duty long ago.

He hadn't been quiet for long before he started thinking about his brother Sen again.

“I think that’s inappropriate,” Lü Zhongxin retorted.

"Zhang Sen's disguise skills are indeed very impressive, I don't deny that, but the nature of this mission is special, and his disguise skills are not needed at all."

He paused briefly, then continued explaining:
"The other party is looking for someone to escort the car, as long as they are not a police officer, so there is no need to pretend."

Lü Zhongxin's voice unconsciously rose a little:
"Moreover, this person's task is to drive, so he doesn't need to use his legs. In my opinion, Zhang Sen's so-called advantages cannot be utilized at all."

After he finished speaking, he glared at his apprentice.

It was as if they were saying: Please spare your brother Sen's life.

Whenever there's a dangerous mission, the apprentice's first thought is always Zhang Sen, to the point that even his master can't stand it anymore.

Even if Zhang Sen owed you something in his past life, it's time to pay it back.

Upon hearing this, Wei Qian thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense.

Zhang Sen is best at disguising himself as an old lady.

But if they were to hire an elderly woman to escort the car, the kidnappers probably wouldn't agree.

Anyone who didn't know better would think the police were trying to extort money from criminals.

I heard that Zhang Sen once pretended to be mentally disabled, but that persona is not suitable for escorting vehicles.

"I think we should find someone who doesn't look like a police officer at all."

Wei Qian said after careful consideration:

"For example, temperament, appearance, body type..."

When he mentioned "body size", he suddenly stopped, and the next second, he turned to look at Yu Dazhang.

At the same time, Lü Zhongxin also set his sights on his apprentices.

I sensed malice... Yu Dazhang felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by them.

What happened to being fat?
Does being fat make you look like a policeman?
This is body type discrimination!

Just as Yu Dazhang was about to protest, Wei Qian suddenly stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder:

"You're the one. When it comes to cleverness in our department, no one is as good as you. Besides, with your build, you don't look like a policeman at all."

Seeing his reluctance, Wei Qian added:

"Da Zhang, these are two lives. I think you can tell the difference between what's important and what's urgent, right?"

Yu Dazhang was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

It wasn't that he was afraid of danger, but rather that he felt this kind of pursuit work wasn't suitable for him, and it wouldn't be good if it delayed things.

"I also think it has to be you." Lü Zhongxin looked at his apprentice with a serious expression:

"With so much cash, we naturally need to find a strong and healthy person to escort the truck, and your physique is just right for that."

"I'm better suited for manual labor..." Seeing that his master had spoken, Yu Dazhang could only nod in agreement.
"Alright, I'll go then."

Once the person was chosen, everyone immediately started moving the ten million yuan in cash prepared by the Su family into Yu Dazhang's car.

While waiting for the other party to call, Yu Dazhang looked at the eight bags of cash in his car and a strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

If I drive away with all this money, wouldn't the police and the kidnappers be completely baffled?
