Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 649 The Importance of Connections

"It's not like we haven't met before, why are you looking at me like that..." Ye Zhiyu felt uncomfortable under Captain Xu's gaze.

Talented individuals are valued wherever they are, especially within a system where talent is highly regarded.

Moreover, what people fear most is comparison.

Previously, the hypnotists here could only get the suspects to vaguely recall the other person's appearance, so the portraits drawn were completely unusable.

After Ye Zhiyu arrived, the accuracy of the recreation increased to over 90%.

This is the difference, this is the chasm between people.

Anyone who encounters someone like this would be tempted to be greedy, and Captain Xu was no exception.

What kind of work do you do now?

Captain Xu stared at Ye Zhiyu and asked:
"How about you consider coming..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Dazhang immediately raised his hand to interrupt him:
"What time is it? Stop talking about this! Hurry up and get the facial recognition done so we can find the person as soon as possible!"

His tone was stern, clearly conveying his dissatisfaction.

Good heavens, they're poaching our employees right in front of us, that's so blatant!

The last time I came to S Province, the top leader here had designs on Ye Zhiyu.

If Ye Zhiyu hadn't been so attached to his mother, he probably would have stayed.

This place is not safe to stay any longer... Yu Dazhang decided that he had to return to Songhai immediately after finishing the case.

It seems that in S Province, from top to bottom, there's a habit of poaching people from others.

That night.

Inside the hotel.

To make painting easier, Yu Dazhang specially booked a luxury suite.

When it comes to important matters, he is still willing to spend money.

"Do you need me to hypnotize you?" Ye Zhiyu asked.

"No need," Yu Dazhang refused.
"I can remember what those people looked like because you hypnotized me last time, and I still remember it very clearly."

After he finished speaking, he asked Xia Bin for his opinion:

"If I can remember what the other person looks like, is hypnosis unnecessary?"

For professional matters, you should consult professionals. When it comes to portrait painting, Xia Bin's words are the only authoritative source.

"of course."

Xia Bin nodded:
"If you can remember it clearly, then hypnosis is unnecessary."

As he spoke, he set up the easel and then fixed the canvas on it.

After changing to new drawing paper, he picked up his pen and spoke again:

"Let's begin, starting with face shape."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhang slowly closed his eyes, and began to recall the faces of those people in his mind.

After a moment, he slowly said:
"This person looks to be in his 30s, male, with a round face, forehead, cheekbones, and jawline of similar width, a smooth, rounded profile without sharp angles, and a lot of facial fat..."

About ten minutes later.

Yu Dazhang began to describe the appearance of the second person:

"This person is probably around 40 years old, with a slightly wide forehead, full cheeks, and a rounded chin. His overall proportions are harmonious, and he has an oval face, much like the shape of a goose egg..."

An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Perhaps he was tired from the afternoon, because Ye Zhiyu had fallen asleep leaning against the sofa in the living room.

Yu Dazhang had just finished describing the appearance of the last person.

Five more minutes passed, and Xia Bin put down his pen, staring at the drawing board in front of him, and asked:
"Take a look, how similar is this one?"

Yu Dazhang stood to the side, his eyes fixed on the sketch on the drawing board, nodding repeatedly:

"It's so similar, it's like it was ripped out of my brain."

Xia Bin finished painting four portraits in one hour: three domestic ones and one foreign one.

In Yu Dazhang's view, it was exactly the same as what he remembered.

Moreover, each portrait is very expressive, especially the eyes, which seem to speak volumes.

"After importing the dynamic information, facial recognition can be performed," Xia Bin explained.
"I have added dynamic features to these four portraits, and they can now be handed over directly to the technical department of the provincial department."

Before facial recognition can be performed, the technical department must complete the technical processing before the big data can be imported.

Xia Bin was already very familiar with this process, and he would take over the next step when the brigade was short-staffed.

"no need."

Yu Dazhang waved his hand, refusing:

“I never thought about conducting facial recognition here. After all, the case is on our side, and here I will only focus on solving the missing persons case.”

From the very beginning, he had no intention of using the resources here to find the people he remembered.

There's only one reason: for the sake of secrecy.

The people in the portrait are neither suspects nor fugitives.

In other words, none of them were involved.

As of now, no case has been filed regarding Yu Dazhang's kidnapping.

His reappearance last year led to the dismissal of the disappearance case.

Therefore, he cannot investigate the identities of these individuals under the guise of investigating a case.

This is where the importance of connections becomes apparent.

That's right, Yu Dazhang also has connections, and his connections are unmatched by ordinary people.

After Xia Bin left, he woke Ye Zhiyu up and told him to go back to his room and continue sleeping.

He then went to another room, closed the door, and took photos of each of the four portraits.

After confirming that all four photos were clear, Yu Dazhang took out his phone and called Ye Lin.

When it comes to investigating people, the National Security Bureau is the most professional.

Moreover, one of these four people is a foreigner, and the National Security Bureau is also most adept at handling foreign affairs.

The phone rang only twice before it was answered.

"I'm so sorry to bother you so late."

Yu Dazhang first made a polite remark.

"Get to the point," Ye Lin replied coldly, her voice devoid of any emotion.

Menstrual period? Yu Dazhang could sense her bad mood even over the phone.

Besides, who calls someone to ask for a favor and then directly states what they need?

Out of politeness, he still asked:
"You seem to be in a bad mood or not feeling well."

He remembered that when they last parted, their relationship was good, so it shouldn't be directed at him.

"If you're sound asleep and someone wakes you up, how would you be in a good mood?"

Ye Lin urged impatiently:
"Are you busy or not? I don't have time to chat with you."

It turns out he was disturbing someone's sleep... Yu Dazhang understood the special nature of national security work.

In particular, irregular work and rest schedules have become the norm for Ye Lin's special operations team.

“I have four portraits here, all of which are copies of real people.”

Yu Dazhang went straight to the point this time:
"I'd like you to help me check the identity information of these four people. Don't worry, I had them drawn by a criminal investigation sketch artist in the system, and I added dynamic features to each sketch."

Actually, he could have directly asked Li Mingzhao for help, since he had done Guoan a big favor last time, and he had also helped arrange Ying Xuelian's visit to Songhai.

However, contacting Li Mingzhao might be misunderstood as wanting him to repay a favor.

Besides, there's no need to bother the national security leaders with such a trivial matter.

"If I remember correctly, your system can use big data for tracking."

Ye Lin's voice sounded clearer and faster than before:

"You mean you couldn't find it there, so you sent me to try?"

The people from the National Security Bureau are indeed not easy to fool… Yu Dazhang took a deep breath and then said in a deep voice:
“This isn’t about investigating a case, and these people aren’t suspects. I was missing for a while before, and they were the ones who kidnapped me.”
