Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 606 As expected, you found it.

"Where is the warehouse?"

As Yu Dazhang asked the question seemingly casually, he slowly reached his right hand toward his waist.

His movements were very natural, as if it were just a casual pose.

But in reality, his hand was already on the holster.

Tan Ruike is different from those five people; he is someone who has worked in the criminal investigation team for three years.

If he decides to put up a stubborn resistance, it will be really difficult to handle.

The most troublesome thing is that Tan Rui still has two hostages in his hands.

"It's behind," the woman said, pointing in a direction.
"There's a staircase over there leading down to the partitioned warehouses."

After she finished speaking, she looked at everyone and asked:
"What do you want with him?"

Yu Dazhang didn't answer her question, but instead asked her:
"Who are you to Tan Rui?"

Judging from her age, he concluded that the woman must be Tan Rui's wife.

The cashier at their own small supermarket is usually not an outsider.

Firstly, the profit margin isn't that large.

Secondly, hiring outsiders can easily lead to the creation of thieves within the family.

"I am his wife," the woman answered truthfully.

It's clear that she's a simple-minded woman.

When faced with Da Zhang's questions, she always answered honestly first, and then raised her own questions.

“We are police officers,” Yu Dazhang explained.
"We've come to him to get some information. You're busy, we'll go ask him ourselves."

As he spoke, he winked at one of the officers.

The officer understood and moved a step towards the door, standing guard there.

Then Yu Dazhang led the remaining police officers into the supermarket, and they soon found a staircase behind the shelves.

As the on-site commander, he really wanted to wave to the officers behind him and let them rush to the front.

But his subconscious told him that doing so in this situation could easily be misunderstood as being afraid of death.

"Still not high enough rank..." Yu Dazhang sighed, then took out his sidearm from his waist, turned around, and nodded to the police officers behind him.

The others immediately drew their sidearms and followed closely behind him.

Down below, under the fluorescent lights, there were boxes of beer piled up against the wall.

The beer crates were neatly arranged, forming a kind of barrier.

Along the wall next to the stairs, there are various food boxes, including instant noodles, sausages, biscuits, and many other kinds.

The already narrow path became even narrower because of these boxes, and now it can only accommodate one person at a time.

Yu Dazhang walked at the front, squeezing past the beer crates and food crates, with the police officers behind him following in turn.

Soon a fork in the road appeared ahead, and Yu Dazhang stopped, marveling at the designer's meticulous attention to detail.

The basement is such a small place, but the other party has made full use of every inch of space.

It's hard to imagine that there's a T-junction here.

He first walked to the left, but after taking only three steps, he turned back.

dead end.

I chose the right side this time, but then backed up after a few seconds.

Both sides turned out to be dead ends.

be lost?
Yu Dazhang suddenly found it ridiculous.

A basement intended for storing goods was turned into a maze by the other party, not only allowing only one person to pass through at a time, but also dividing it into two areas with goods.

If Yu Dazhang hadn't seen the video sent by the kidnappers, he might have been completely fooled.

If you didn't know better, you'd think the cargo filled the basement, but actually there's another room on the other side of the cargo.

The question now is, where is the door?
Yu Dazhang stood there for a moment and thought about it.

Even if the door is disguised as a cargo door, it must be movable, otherwise it would be too troublesome to move it back and forth.

The flaw is at the very bottom.

If it were an ordinary person, they would need to use a flashlight, then crouch down to look for wheels or similar features on the pallet under the goods.

Yu Dazhang doesn't need to. As a human-shaped police dog, he only needs to smell the scent to determine whether there are people behind the goods.

These walls, used for camouflage, can block the view, but they cannot block the smell.

There's no doubt that everyone has a scent, it's just that the scents are different.

Soon, Yu Dazhang smelled a different odor from the cardboard box on the left.

It is here.

He turned around and waved twice to the officers behind him, signaling them to step back.

He then took two steps back, took a running start, and suddenly raised his leg, delivering a flying kick to the cardboard box.

With a loud crash, the wall made of food crates collapsed instantly.

There was indeed nothing behind the wall!

The room was dark, with no lights on, but Yu Dazhang could clearly hear a "whooshing" sound coming from inside.

It's like someone has their mouth gagged and is struggling desperately.

The police immediately shone their flashlights inside, and at the same time, Yu Dazhang raised his service pistol and shouted:
"Hold still, police!"

In fact, he only saw a figure flash by, and when he shone his flashlight in, he realized that the person had already darted to the corner of the wall.

There were two other people sitting on the ground against the wall, but they had been lifted up by that person and placed in front of him.

Yu Dazhang raised his gun and quickly entered the house.

"Find the switch and turn on the light!"

Soon, the officers who came in later found the light switch by the wall near the entrance, and the room was instantly lit up.

After seeing the situation clearly, Yu Dazhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Jincheng and Su Mi are both still alive, and they look exactly the same as they did in the previous video, with no obvious injuries on their bodies.

Their hands were tied behind their backs, their mouths were taped shut, and they were looking at Yu Dazhang with pleading eyes.

Behind them, Tan Rui held a pair of scissors and put his hand on Bai Jincheng's shoulder.

His eyes flashed with terror; he was clearly panicked.

"You, you guys..."

Despite his panic, Tan Rui was still scanning the officers who had entered, seemingly assessing the current situation.

This is a professional habit.

He was flustered because he hadn't expected the police to corner him in the warehouse, but that didn't affect his assessment of the situation.

Finally, his gaze fell on Yu Dazhang.

"As expected, you found it."

Tan Rui's voice was filled with resentment, as if he had expected this outcome but was unwilling to accept reality:

“I recognized you when we were in the village, Yu Dazhang from Hongkou Branch, the newcomer who has solved many major cases.”

He stared intently at the person in front of him, a hint of frustration in his eyes:

"I always thought you were a model employee promoted by the Municipal Bureau, but I never expected you to have real skills."

Tan Rui's voice gradually lowered:
"My brother and I have thought about this plan for a long time, and we've considered every detail. How did you come to suspect me?"

As for whether it was a fabricated story, Yu Dazhang didn't care at all.

The merits are real, the honors are real, and the bonuses are real—that's enough.

What others think is their business; he can't control what others think.

"Is there any point in saying this now?"

Yu Dazhang's gaze fell on the other person's hand holding the scissors, and he spoke softly:

"How you found yours isn't important, just put the scissors down first."

At this distance, he was confident he could kill the hostage with a single shot, but he couldn't guarantee the hostage wouldn't be injured.

The scissors didn't appear to be aimed at Bai Jincheng's neck, but they were very close to his carotid artery.

If Tan Rui were shot and the scissors in his hand went out of control and severed Bai Jincheng's carotid artery, the consequences would be unbearable for him.

"important!"

Tan Rui suddenly became excited:
"Even if I die, I want to die knowing why!"
