Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 656 You Still Have One Way to Go

The words "wanting to buy" and "urgently needing to buy" are related.

For example:

We urgently need a batch of supplies, therefore we are seeking to purchase them nationwide.
Purchases are only made when there is an urgent need.

Therefore, urgent need is a prerequisite for purchasing.

"None of the girls you trafficked are able to communicate normally with others."

Yu Dazhang hesitated and asked:

"Under these circumstances, is the other party still willing to offer 100,000?"

He needed to guide Xie Wei to bring up key information voluntarily, but he couldn't be too blunt.

For example, the other party's acquisition terms.

The specific acquisition requirements for the mass disappearance case in N Province have been determined, but Yu Dazhang cannot disclose them.

Because that would be tantamount to proactively revealing the case details to Xie Wei, and he naturally wouldn't make such a mistake.

"These factors do not affect the acquisition price."

Xie Wei replied:
"The other party's requirements are that the woman be between 18 and 35 years old, in good health, and free from chronic diseases and infectious diseases. As for other requirements, there are no strict requirements."

“I specifically asked the other party, and only after receiving a positive answer did I take action.”

Just as Xie Wei mentioned that the other party's asking price was 100,000 per person, Yu Dazhang had already determined that the cases in the two provinces could be merged.

Now it is even more certain.

Looking to buy women aged 35 nationwide, starting at 100,000 yuan, which is almost exactly the same requirement as in province N.

The fact that a cautious human trafficker would risk his life shows that a price of 100,000 yuan per person is extremely tempting in the human trafficking circle.

The fact that two provinces simultaneously offered exorbitant prices for the same product, with identical requirements, is undoubtedly not a coincidence.

The most direct method now is simply to trap them.

"Have you ever considered that you might be able to get probation?"

Yu Dazhang said this in a very serious tone.

Although it was a question, anyone could tell that he was giving the other person a chance.

"Is this possible?"

Xie Wei didn't seem to believe it and asked in return:
"You mean, I might not have to die?"

For him now, any glimmer of hope for survival is incredibly precious and rare, and he must grasp it even if it is just a tiny spark.

So when he heard Yu Dazhang's words, he felt like he had grasped a lifeline.

"Have you heard of a tainted witness?" Yu Dazhang asked, looking at him.

"I've heard of it." Xie Wei nodded immediately, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Yu Dazhang sighed:
"The concept of a tainted witness is a Western concept, often seen in Hong Kong and Taiwan television and movies, but it does not exist in mainland China."

Upon hearing this, not only Xie Wei, but even the police officer in charge of taking notes couldn't help but glance at him.

At a time like this, how can you still have the leisure to tease him?
Once the case is solved, can't you go to the detention center and visit him alone?

Besides, this is an interrogation.

Shouldn't we be more serious?

"W-what do you mean?"

Xie Wei was clearly not quite there yet; he didn't know whether the fat policeman opposite him was deliberately making fun of him or had some other ulterior motive.

“in the country, there is another name for a tainted witness.”

Yu Dazhang stared at him and said seriously:
"Major meritorious service".

Every country has relevant laws in order to combat crime more effectively.

Compared to a gradual police investigation, uncovering a crime is much faster.

"A guilty conscience needs no accuser, so you must have studied the relevant laws and know what your fate would be if you were caught."

Yu Dazhang continued:
"But you never thought that you had another path to take."

Article 68, Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Law stipulates that: "Anyone who has made a significant contribution to the cause of justice may be given a reduced or exempted punishment."

That's all I can say. He has no final say; the final verdict rests with the court.

However, he didn't lie about one thing: the legal provisions are true.

Even if Xie Wei was eventually shot, at least during his final moments, he held onto hope.

"Yes, I still have another way."

Xie Wei suddenly became excited, staring intently at Yu Dazhang:
"Thank you, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Tell me what you want me to do, and I will cooperate fully."

The most important thing right now is to catch Xie Wei's next contact and find the missing girl as soon as possible.

However, in Yu Dazhang's eyes, Xie Wei was not just useful for that.

This man is a seasoned human trafficker with ten years of experience.

Putting everything else aside, the phone book found in his rented apartment alone was enough to dismantle the entire human trafficking chain in S province.

Yu Dazhang glanced at the phone book briefly.

It's too thick.

It was also covered with names and phone numbers.

There are only nine people like Xie Wei, including all his relatives and friends.

This shows who the phone numbers were recorded in that phone book.

Do your best to eliminate evil.

Yu Dazhang is not the kind of person who only cares about what's in front of his own door.

"I want you to contact the buyer of the girls and tell him that you've abducted another group of people."

Yu Dazhang said after careful consideration:

“This time you’re asking for a price increase, 20,000 yuan more per person, but we can guarantee the quality.”

He had already decided that since there was no limit, he would go along with the other party's wishes.

Demanding a higher price is simply a way to lower the other party's guard, which is consistent with the modus operandi of human traffickers.

Human traffickers do this to make money. If the quality is good, they will definitely ask for a higher price, especially since this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money.

"No."

Unexpectedly, Xie Wei directly refused:

"It's no use to deceive people with these lies. Before receiving the goods, the other party will definitely find a middleman to inspect them. If they can't see the person, they won't be fooled."

He paused for a moment, then added:

"Moreover, the other party will not show up during the transaction."

“Last time I delivered someone to a designated garage, there was no one to meet them on the other end, and I never saw the other person at all.”

This tactic is nothing new... Yu Dazhang is all too familiar with it.

The perpetrators used similar methods when they were handling the slavery case.

"Who said I was lying?"

Although they were discussing the case, Yu Dazhang still felt somewhat uncomfortable when Xie Wei referred to people as "goods."

He then said with a cold face:
"This time I will arrange for several women to pretend to be trafficked women, and they will meet the other party's requirements in all aspects to ensure that the price can be increased."

"You just need to play your part well; this is one of your few opportunities to make a name for yourself."

Upon hearing the words "meritorious service," Xie Wei immediately perked up and became invigorated.

Aren't you afraid he'll take this opportunity to escape?
Not afraid.

Because there simply won't be such an opportunity.

In addition to tracking devices, Xie Wei would also be equipped with miniature cameras and listening devices, and his movements would always be under the control of the police.

Once he shows any signs of fleeing, or the signal disappears, the police will immediately move in.

"I suggest that at least three women be arranged."

Xie Wei expressed his thoughts:

"The more people there are, the more seriously the other party will take it. And they are really sincere in their purchase. Last time, after I delivered the people, I received the final payment very quickly."
