Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 637 Lost Seven Young Ladies?

"I have never seen anyone with such a wealth of knowledge."

Qu Tuotuo continued:
"It gives the impression that there is nothing she cannot do. It is hard to imagine that a woman can be proficient in so many subjects at the same time."

"This isn't something you can learn just by working hard; it's talent, it's talent, you know?"

She paused briefly, as if she had thought of something, and then continued:

“During my studies abroad, I’ve seen all sorts of outstanding individuals, but compared to her, she’s far inferior. I don’t even know how to describe her.”

Qu Tuotuo's tone was full of emotion:
"For the group, having even one such talent is a great blessing."

Yu Dazhang felt increasingly uneasy as he listened.

It's understandable if Ye Lin and he had a slightly ambiguous relationship, since they were about the same age and their relationship was indeed quite close.

However, he and Ying Xuelian had absolutely no romantic feelings for each other; their relationship was at most that of teacher and student in academic matters.

"Wait a minute," Yu Dazhang couldn't help but interrupt.

"I was the one who introduced Wang Yilin there, and that alone proves that I have a clear conscience."

"Besides, her excellence is her business, what does it have to do with me?"

One should be reasonable, and he believes he is absolutely innocent in this matter.

"The way she's looking at you is weird."

Qu Tuotuo suddenly laughed, a smug laugh:
"Whether it's her or Ye Lin, the way they look at you reveals a woman's appreciation for a man, and even a little bit of admiration."

"Unfortunately, they were too late."

He must be hallucinating... Yu Dazhang doesn't think he has that much charm.

Sometimes he even dislikes his round head when he looks in the mirror.

Besides, those two didn't seem like they'd never eaten coarse food before.

"You think too much."

Yu Dazhang reached out and put his arm around Qu Tuotuo's waist, and whispered:

"I've said it so many times, only you would be interested in me."

Why don't we play in the car for a while? Yu Dazhang was now regretting not going to the hotel.

The atmosphere had been built up to this point; it seemed that only some concrete actions could put her at ease.

Based on her past drinking capacity, she should be sober up soon.

"What really scares me is that Su Mi's gaze towards you has changed."

Qu Tuotuo spoke of this with a hint of regret:

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have gone to you when she was kidnapped. Other police officers should have been able to rescue her."

She sighed:
"However, it's normal for her to develop a dependency on you in that kind of environment."

Having discussed this much, Yu Dazhang naturally understood why she was behaving strangely today.

It was simply that Su Mi's change in attitude towards him made Qu Tuotuo feel a sense of crisis.

She was afraid that if she kept rejecting Yu Dazhang, he would develop a rebellious attitude, and if he couldn't resist one day and threw himself into the arms of another woman, it would be too late to regret it.

Just because you don't give it doesn't mean others won't.

Many such things have happened in real life.

It has been proven that a woman's pregnancy is precisely the period when men are most likely to cheat.

After lingering for a while, Yu Dazhang ultimately decided against taking the next step.

Compared to ordinary people, at this time, various cases always float through his mind, which can actually be considered a kind of occupational hazard.

He had seen a case in his previous life.

Three men and one woman were drinking together, and they all drank quite a bit.

Then the four of them discussed going to a hotel.

I won't describe the process, but in short, I had a lot of fun.

The three men were afraid that the woman would change her mind later, so they recorded the whole thing.

One of the passages is:

The man asked, "Was it good?"

The woman replied, "Awesome."

The woman woke up the next day and went to the police station to report that she had been gang-raped.

After the three men were apprehended, they produced audio and video recordings, attempting to use them to prove that they had not engaged in gang rape.

The crimes of group sexual misconduct and gang rape are worlds apart.

They were still convicted of gang rape.

The reason is simple: it's because they drank alcohol.

If a woman engages in sexual relations while in a state of impaired consciousness, this is usually considered "against the woman's will." Therefore, don't assume that a woman being drunk is a good opportunity.

You might be waiting for more than ten years.

The next day.

Yu Dazhang noticed something was off about the atmosphere in the team as soon as he started work.

The officers were whispering among themselves, as if they were gossiping, and their expressions seemed to carry a hint of resentment.

When it comes to gossiping, it's natural to go to acquaintances.

Then he went to his master's side and asked in a low voice:

"What happened? Why do people in the team seem a bit indignant?"

Lü Zhongxin looked around before answering:

“Yesterday afternoon our team received a missing person case. Three girls went out to play together, but all three of them have gone missing.”

"As of yesterday when the case was reported, they had been out of contact for more than 24 hours."

A mass disappearance case... Yu Dazhang immediately defined the case in his mind.

According to current laws, the simultaneous disappearance of three or more persons constitutes a group incident.

"Did something go wrong with the case?" Yu Dazhang pressed.

Obviously, if the case had entered the normal investigation stage, the team members wouldn't have shown such expressions so early in the morning.

"That's not true."

Lü Zhongxin explained:

"Just as our team took over this case, before we even had a chance to investigate, another similar case came along."

"This is another missing persons case, involving four girls, and the time they disappeared was very close together."

It sounded a bit confusing... Yu Dazhang mentally sorted out the information he had heard.

In other words, a total of seven girls went missing, in two separate groups.

The first three girls were the first group, and they were friends with each other.

The four girls who came later were from the second batch, and they were also friends with each other.

These two groups of people did not know each other.

"According to preliminary investigations, the seven girls are all between 16 and 20 years old, and all of them have dropped out of school."

Lü Zhongxin continued:
"Their lifestyle consists of going online, meeting online friends, and hanging out in nightclubs and other entertainment venues. You could say they do nothing all day but play."

The more Yu Dazhang listened, the more familiar they seemed to be, as if he had encountered such a group before.

No, it's not that I've had contact with it, but that I've seen it.

To summarize their characteristics:

Young, dropped out of school, making friends, doing nothing...

The term "spiritual young woman" unconsciously popped into Yu Dazhang's mind.

The internet term "spiritual young woman" didn't exist in 2015, but such a group did exist.

However, people later gave this group a unified name.

"How do they make a living doing all this?" Yu Dazhang asked again.

Without even thinking about it, it definitely wasn't given by my family.

To be blunt, none of those from well-off families would choose to become a "spiritual prostitute."

Someone once asked this question online.

Why are both the "energetic young men" and "energetic young women" so thin?

There's only one answer: hungry.

That's right, they have trouble even eating.

It's common for several people to share a single bowl of noodles.

"Chatting online is their source of income."

When this was mentioned, Lü Zhongxin showed an incredulous expression:
"They add strangers through social media, chat with them, and once they get to know them, they ask them to buy them snacks like milk tea."

"The requests I make are never too many, usually just small purchases of ten or twenty yuan."

Towards the end, his expression turned somewhat helpless, as if he didn't quite understand the girls' behavior:

"And those who are asked are mostly men over forty years old. Faced with such a request, the vast majority of them will readily agree and act very readily."

This tactic looks so familiar... Yu Dazhang does know a thing or two about "spiritual young women."

If I remember correctly, the name of this tactic is:

Beng Laotou'er.
