Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 641 Some People Are Destined to Be Unable to Keep a Low Profile

I know both of these provinces well... In the past year, Yu Dazhang has only traveled to these two places on business.

First, I went to the S Province office to handle the finger amputation case.

He then went to N Province to investigate the slavery case.

What a coincidence! The people who came to Songhai to handle the case this time happened to be from these two provinces.

"Is the case in S Province the one where more than ten female students were kidnapped?"

Yu Dazhang suddenly remembered that before the kidnapping case, he had heard his master mention a major case in S Province, and the two of them had discussed the case at the time.

"should be."

Li Jun nodded and said:

“I’ve heard about that case too. Apparently, it involved fourteen deaf and mute female students who were taken away by a school bus and then disappeared.”

"It's unclear whether this is the case or not, but one thing is certain: this case has not yet been solved."

"Then it must be..." Yu Dazhang thought to himself.

Mass disappearances, women, relatively young age, and similar times of the incidents...

Judging from these similarities alone, there is likely some connection between these cases.

What kind of case is it in N Province? Is it also a case of mass disappearances?

Yu Dazhang was a little confused. N Province was so far away from Songhai, how did they find this place so quickly?

Moreover, they came together with people from S Province.

Or perhaps those two provinces had already merged their cases for investigation?

"Team Lee."

Yu Dazhang confirmed again:

"You just said that a special task force came from S Province and N Province respectively?"

“That’s right,” Li Jun replied with certainty.
“I saw them at the Municipal Bureau yesterday and greeted both sides. One of the team leaders had come to our branch to look for you before.”

"You've contacted me?" Yu Dazhang searched his memory and quickly identified the person.

Team Leader Xu.

He had previously brought those wrongly accused in the finger-severing cases to the police station to present them with banners.

After confirming it, Yu Dazhang was even more bewildered.

Are two task forces working together on a case?

What style is this?

Never seen it.

If it can be determined that the cases were committed by the same group of people, the two cases can be merged and handled together, then jurisdiction can be designated and a special task force can be assigned to handle them.

However, the current situation is that both sides have set up their own special task forces, but they are investigating the case together.

That's quite willful.

This was the first time Yu Dazhang had ever seen a case handled this way; he had never seen anything like it in either of his lives.

Are neither side's leaders going to do anything about it?

That's an understatement. Now that they've arrived in Songhai, that's...

Are three task forces working together on a case?
Thinking of this, Yu Dazhang looked up at Li Jun.

Li Jun had obviously thought of this as well, and shook his head at him:

“I’m not clear on the specifics either. It seems that the cases are too complicated and the connection between them cannot be determined at the moment. So we need to investigate for a period of time before deciding whether to merge them.”

This explanation seems reasonable, but Yu Dazhang doesn't think so.

He knew Captain Xu well, after all, they had worked together before.

This is a veteran detective with twenty years of experience. With his intelligence and experience, he should have already determined whether the cases could be combined.

In N Province, although he didn't know who was leading the team, such a big case should be handled by Qi Fang, even if it wasn't personally investigated by Captain Hua.

Either of these two people is capable of making the right decision.

Since that's the case, and the cases haven't been merged yet, there's only one possibility left.

Neither of them wanted to easily hand over such a major case to someone else.

Therefore, although it appeared to be a joint investigation, neither side was willing to concede to the other, and neither wanted to relinquish the initiative. After understanding this, Yu Dazhang smiled.

This is good, at least it shows that everyone is very enthusiastic, which is definitely a good thing for handling the case.

"The headquarters only said they wanted to temporarily transfer me over to help?"

Yu Dazhang hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked:
"Just me?"

Going there would definitely be a lot of trouble, so he thought it would be best to bring his own people with him so that he could handle things more easily at work.

For example, Lü Zhongxin could go with him, or Ma Jian and Liu Miao could also go together.

Even if Zhang Sen comes along, that would be fine.

He wasn't sure if the people at the headquarters had a problem with him, so he felt a little uneasy going there alone.

"It's already difficult enough to borrow just you, and you actually want to bring others along? What are you thinking?"

Li Jun glared at him fiercely:
"If Director Liu hadn't personally spoken up, the Criminal Investigation Department wouldn't have been able to borrow you. I didn't want to tell you this, but it seems like you have no idea what's going on."

He paused and then said:

"Remember, keep a low profile after this. You're just an ordinary police officer. Even if you solve a few more cases, your rank still matters."

"Therefore, don't stand out in anything. It's always good to be humble. You must know your place."

Finally, as if remembering something, he added:

"Think about this carefully, three task forces are mixed up together..."

Complex, extremely complex… Yu Dazhang immediately understood what he meant.

In this situation, it's best to keep a low profile.

Leaders consider all aspects.

Yu Dazhang was preoccupied with the case, neglecting to consider how to manage relationships with all parties involved.

As a junior criminal investigator, the best course of action is to do his job well and not get cocky just because he has solved a few cases.

"Don't worry, I'll behave myself when I get there."

Yu Dazhang solemnly assured him:
"Obey arrangements and follow orders. Never act rashly or try to be a hero."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that it was somewhat unnecessary.

Since joining the police force, he has always kept a low profile and seems to have never taken the initiative to do anything.

"Okay, then go ahead."

Li Jun smiled and nodded, indicating that he was satisfied with Da Zhang's answer:
"If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to contact me. One thing will never change: you are a member of the Hongkou branch."

"Okay." Yu Dazhang agreed and got up to leave.

After he left, Li Jun stared in the direction of the doorway, a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a moment, he sighed softly:
"Some people are just destined to be unable to keep a low profile."

Municipal Bureau.

meeting room.

Everyone at the meeting had a document in hand and was carefully reviewing it.

After an unknown amount of time, Captain Hua closed the documents in his hand, then closed his eyes and pinched his brow hard.

Before long, people began to close their documents, look up, and have serious expressions.

Only after the criminal investigation team from Songhai had finished reviewing all the files did Captain Hua speak:
"I believe the two disappearances in Songhai were committed by the same group of people."

His words drew everyone's attention, and they all looked up, their eyes fixed on him.

Team Hua was already used to this kind of scene, and continued without changing his expression:
“The same group of people disappeared around the same time, and even the locations of their disappearances were almost identical.”

"Most importantly, judging from the captured chat content, the other party clearly lured them out on purpose and then controlled them."

Finally, he raised his voice:
"My opinion is that these two cases can be handled together."

After these words were spoken, the police officers on Songhai's side all showed expressions of dissatisfaction.

We were discussing the case, and somehow they started making decisions for us.

They called it an opinion, but to anyone listening, it sounded like they were overstepping their bounds.

But before they could even speak, Team Hua suddenly raised another question:
"Excuse me, but why isn't your deputy chief in charge of the case here?"
