Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 646 Let me guess your hiding place
Yu Dazhang finished the bowl of silver thread noodles in just a few gulps, and he didn't waste any of the soup either, drinking it all in one go.

He wanted to ask for another bowl, but seeing the looks in everyone's eyes at the table, he forced himself to hold back.

When you're out and about, you should still pay attention to looking presentable.

Eating too much will inevitably make you seem like a good-for-nothing, so you can't have a second bowl of noodles.

"Waiter, another bowl of rice."

Eating the first bowl of rice shouldn't be a problem, let alone having a whole table of leftovers. Wasting food is shameful.

Wuxi-style braised pork ribs, boiled mutton, pan-fried white fish with fermented bean curd sauce, and pork with fermented bean curd sauce...

Yu Dazhang only picked out the foods he liked to eat, and he thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

After some haggling, Captain Xu finally paid the bill.

Forget about reimbursement for this standard meal, especially since it's eaten locally.

However, as the leader here, Team Leader Xu certainly had to do his duty as the host.

Upon arriving at the detention center, the school bus driver had already been taken to the interrogation room.

"Hypnosis in an interrogation room is not appropriate."

Ye Zhiyu looked somewhat worried:

"You should know that hypnosis deprives the other person of their autonomy, causing them to enter a third state of consciousness. In this state, the person loses the right to express themselves and defend themselves."

"And as far as I know, you can't hypnotize someone during interrogation, so don't try to trick me."

What he was really afraid of was the camera in the interrogation room.

Hypnotizing someone under surveillance serves as irrefutable evidence should anything go wrong later and someone is held accountable.

"Are you afraid of going back in?"

Yu Dazhang couldn't help but laugh when he saw his cowardly look:
"We want to use hypnotic regression to help the suspect recall the other person's appearance. At that time, you just need to cooperate with the portrait artist to guide the suspect to describe the other person's facial features as clearly as possible."

There are three states of a person: waking state, sleeping state, and third consciousness state.

The third state of consciousness is a special state that lies between wakefulness and sleep.

It can also be called: hypnotic state.

The brain can help you lie and pretend when you are awake, but it is easy to give the truthful answers when you are hypnotized.

Things that are usually vague in memory can become particularly clear under hypnosis.

However, whether or not one can fully recall the information depends on the hypnotist's skill level.

Actually, it's not surprising that the system lacks good hypnotists.

Even nationwide, there are very few hypnotherapists with a clinical medical background.

The reason is simple: it's a thankless task.

Hypnotherapy is a very demanding job for doctors. Each session lasts one or two hours, and only one patient can be treated at a time. Moreover, the fees for psychological counseling at hospitals are relatively low.

Meanwhile, the psychology and psychiatry departments have significantly reduced their workload and easily increased their income by prescribing medications.

This is also why people with mental or psychological illnesses often become dependent on medication after treatment.

The two then met Xia Bin at the entrance of the interrogation room.

Welcome back to Wuxi.

Xia Bin greeted them warmly when he saw them.

They had worked together for a period of time when they were handling cases in S Province, so they were quite familiar with each other.

Yu Dazhang, in particular, had his eyes light up the moment he saw Xia Bin.

"When you have time, please paint a few portraits of me."

He approached Xia Bin and whispered:

“I have a case on my end. I remember the faces of some of the suspects, but I can’t draw them.”

You always need a reason to ask for help, and after thinking it over, Yu Dazhang realized that this was the most logical reason.

"No problem," Xia Bin readily agreed.
"I'm available anytime, today is fine."

Yu Dazhang nodded:

"Okay, then it'll be tonight. I'll contact you tonight."

Watching Xia Bin and Ye Zhiyu enter the interrogation room, he didn't follow. Instead, Captain Xu assigned two other officers to accompany them. Once inside an office, Yu Dazhang opened the case file Captain Xu had brought and began to read it slowly.

He looked very carefully, and from the moment the school bus went missing, he didn't miss a single detail of the investigation.

Yu Dazhang took over this case halfway through, so what he needs to do now is to develop a complete strategy.

Investigation process, testimonies, on-site investigation, evidence collection...

Half an hour later, he closed the file and shut his eyes.

The entire investigation process went smoothly, which demonstrates Captain Xu's ability and experience.

However, it has become somewhat conservative and stuck in its ways.

This case was clearly premeditated.

The fourth brother's intentions were impure when he contacted the school bus driver.

He would treat the school bus driver to meals every few days, and would often return part of the money to the driver after the driver lost money gambling.

There is no free lunch in the world.

The fourth brother must have done this for some purpose.

It is estimated that during the conversation, the school bus driver revealed his profession in great detail.

There's a saying: "What is said without intention may be taken to heart by the listener."

To human traffickers, people who do this kind of work are easy targets.

A fat sheep that can be used at any time.

As long as you maintain a friendship with them and gain their trust, you won't have to worry about them not taking the bait when the time comes.

"Trying to gain a small advantage will only lead to a big loss."

Yu Dazhang discovered that the fourth brother was very good at manipulating human nature and had a keen eye for people.

Through daily interactions, he deduced that the school bus driver was someone who loved to take advantage of others, and it was often this kind of person who was most likely to go astray.

This person is meticulous... Yu Dazhang opened his eyes, took out his small notebook, opened it, and wrote down the fourth brother's real name, Xie Wei.

He then added a note below the name: "Thoughtful and adept at manipulating human nature."

After thinking for a moment, he added a sentence: He likes to use small favors to get closer to people.

When you delve deeply into a case, you ultimately end up analyzing the people involved.

Some people can't be criminal investigators because they only look at the surface of cases and can't delve deeper into the specific individuals involved.

"Captain Xu and his team have basically investigated everything they could."

Yu Dazhang muttered to himself, recalling the contents of the case file in his mind.

The fourth brother has no recent hotel booking or ticket purchase records, which indicates that he still has some counter-surveillance capabilities.

He then wrote the words "counter-reconnaissance" on the notebook.

The fourth brother's social connections have also been thoroughly investigated by Captain Xu and his team, but they still haven't found any problems.

This person has a very narrow social circle and very few friends; the school bus driver is one of his few friends.

Moreover, he rarely interacted with his relatives, and even during special occasions such as holidays, he rarely visited them.

It seems that everyone involved in human trafficking keeps a low profile, otherwise they wouldn't be able to hide it.

"You are still in Xicheng."

Yu Dazhang suddenly laughed.

His laughter revealed a sense of confidence and insight.

The more intelligent a suspect is, the easier it is to deduce their intentions and plans.

Because it's easy to empathize with them.

Often, the unexpected things are done by clumsy thieves.

Let me guess where you're hiding... Yu Dazhang stared at the name "Xie Wei" on the notebook and muttered to himself:
"If I were a human trafficker..."

"I prepared this hiding place a long time ago."
