Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 658 Women with Real Combat Skills

"Seven."

After answering, Xie Wei immediately explained:

"Although the quantity is a bit smaller this time, the quality is absolutely no problem. They are not only young and healthy, but also in top physical condition."

Yu Dazhang, listening from the other side, frowned deeply.

Young, healthy, and in good physical condition...

You really dare to say that.

He had already regretted it after making a "seven" gesture.

With so many women, he hadn't even figured out where to find them yet, and Xie Wei added conditions to these women.

So you don't need to come looking for them? Why don't you just say they all look like big stars?

If it weren't for the fear of affecting Xie Wei's performance, Yu Dazhang would have really wanted to glare at him right now.

"Okay."

Upon hearing Xie Wei's description, the woman opposite him became excited:

"If it's really as you say, the price can rise to 120,000 per person, but we still need to inspect the goods first. We'll follow the rules."

She didn't sound like a calculating person... Yu Dazhang felt that the woman opposite him was speaking in a somewhat frivolous manner.

This person was quite different from the strategist he had in mind.

Those who truly accomplish great things must meet at least one condition: they cannot show their emotions on their face.

However, it's also possible that she was faking it on purpose.

Xie Wei, however, didn't care about any of that. He was like a businessman, only interested in making deals.

"I understand the rules. Just like last time, it's good for everyone."

Finally, he didn't forget to remind the other party:
"Get the money ready. Same as always, pay half the deposit after inspecting the goods."

Xie Wei hung up the phone after the other party gave an affirmative answer.

Yu Dazhang glanced at his phone; the call had lasted almost a minute, and the technical department should be able to pinpoint the exact location.

Even black cards can be located.

However, this kind of location tracking is not very useful because the other party is likely to only use it once and then throw away the SIM card.

In this way, if the other party moves again, it will be impossible to continue tracking.

Judging from the other party's cautiousness, they probably wouldn't make a call from their usual place of residence.

"Wait a moment."

Xie Wei waved the phone in his hand:

"The middleman will call later to confirm the time and place for inspection."

It's really a chain of events... Yu Dazhang discovered that although their transaction method was troublesome, it was very meticulous.

Having a middleman to inspect the goods can indeed save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

For example, the police were unable to make arrests at the scene of the transaction.

Because the other party's representatives won't show up during the inspection, the middleman acts as their eyes and ears.

Tracing the funds was no longer an option, as the other party would give the money to an intermediary first, and then transfer it to Xie Wei.

With this middleman involved, the police can no longer directly trace the flow of funds unless they arrest the middleman.

But if you do that, the other party will find out.

The trail in N province went cold because the middleman was caught, which led to everyone on the entire line fleeing.

"Try to postpone the inspection time as much as possible, the later the better."

Yu Dazhang stared at Xie Wei opposite him and said:
"It would be best to postpone it until tomorrow morning, or tonight if that's not possible. Remember, it can't be brought forward any further. You need to think of a reason now."

It's 2 PM now. Xie Wei told the other party that they had abducted seven people this time, but these seven people were fabricated out of thin air.

In fact, Yu Dazhang's side hadn't prepared a single person.

If it were a man, it would be easier; we could just have officers from the provincial department impersonate him.

But it's a bit more complicated for women.

Although there are female police officers in the law enforcement units, most of them are regular police officers, and there are very few female criminal investigators.

This is due to traditional ideas and gender role stereotypes that suggest women should avoid dangerous and harsh working environments.

Women are indeed weaker than men in terms of physical strength and reaction speed, so they are not very suitable for actual combat.

Therefore, whether in the police force or the military, women mostly work in clerical positions. However, there are exceptions; some women excel in combat roles, but they are extremely rare.

Of all the people Yu Dazhang knew, only Ye Lin possessed real combat skills.

It seems that Qu Tuotuo also has practical combat skills.

However, she is the courageous type, the kind who can calm down and dare to take a gamble in times of crisis.

But in terms of skill and combat ability, she is no match for Ye Lin.

Just as he was considering how to gather the seven people, Xie Wei's phone rang.

As soon as the call connected, I heard an envious voice from the man on the other end of the phone:
"You've really struck gold this time; the price has been raised to 120,000 per person."

"Good quality naturally comes at a higher price," Xie Wei casually remarked, then quickly changed the subject:
When would you like to inspect the goods?

This is a strategy of retreating to advance, letting the other party suggest a time first. If the time is suitable, he can agree; if not, he can raise objections.

It's neither too abrupt nor too simplistic; it also leaves room for maneuver.

"The sooner the better." The man opposite seemed very eager.
"This deal might fall through at any time, so the sooner we complete the transaction, the safer it will be. How about an hour from now?"

Upon hearing what was said on the other end, Yu Dazhang couldn't help but frown.

In one hour, he could only gather seven female police officers, and even if he wanted to do so, his superiors would not agree.

Sending police officers to the front lines for such dangerous tasks is extremely risky, especially for women.

Industry specializing in surgery.

The daily work of police officers includes prevention, maintenance, and rescue.

Such life-threatening work must be done by people with practical combat skills.

Forcing police officers to take on the role is a disregard for their lives and an irresponsible act.

"An hour won't do; the people are still in the car."

Xie Wei refused:
"Furthermore, I need to confirm whether the area where the Tibetans were last time is safe, which will take time."

He paused for a moment, then suggested:

"How about this, in three hours, that is, at 5:30, if the location from last time is fine, we'll meet there again."

Three hours was a bit tight, but Yu Dazhang could tell that Xie Wei had done his best.

If we insist on postponing it until tomorrow, it is very likely to arouse the other party's suspicion.

In the current situation, three hours is the limit.

"Okay, then it's set for 5:30."

The man opposite Xie Wei seemed to trust him a lot, and readily answered:

"Call me once you've decided on the location."

After ending the call, Xie Wei handed the phone back to Yu Dazhang.

“I rented a house in the suburbs, which is where the last transaction took place.”

Xie Wei then gave the house its detailed address.

Yu Dazhang nodded and handed his phone to the police officer who was taking notes.

"Around 4 o'clock, have him call the middleman back. The transaction location remains the same, still the same house as last time."

After giving his instructions, he made a gesture towards the surveillance camera.

Once outside, police officers quickly jogged up to him.

"Continue to interrogate him."

Yu Dazhang commanded:

"Take a deep dive into all the crimes he has committed over the years."

As he spoke, he took an old-fashioned telephone book from his bag and handed it over:

“Everyone recorded here must be asked to clearly state their identity and their relationship with him.”

The police officers who could work in the provincial department were almost all shrewd and capable; their eyes widened the moment they saw the phone book.

This isn't a phone book; in their eyes, it's just a ready-made achievement.

Judging from the thickness of the notebook, there must have been at least a hundred people recorded in it.

If all the records are about human traffickers, what would that be like?
There probably aren't that many human traffickers in the entire S province.

How come it's getting bigger and bigger?
