Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 662 A Master of Deception
"My God, this figure, this body fat percentage, I haven't seen such a perfect figure in a long time."

A series of exclamations came through the earpiece:

"They're all like this, so they all come from the same place?"

"Huh? Why do they all have calluses on their palms? Where did you get these girls from?"

Hearing this series of questions, Yu Dazhang, who was listening in the car, couldn't help but frown.

He hadn't expected the middleman to be so thorough, even noticing the calluses on the girls' hands.

Some traces cannot be concealed.

This includes calluses on the hands.

These female special forces members engage in high-intensity training almost every day, so their hands naturally develop thick calluses.

This is inevitable.

Moreover, these girls were all handpicked by the military regions and went through rounds of brutal elimination. It is no exaggeration to say that those who remained were the best of the best.

Such a person naturally has a very standard physique; anyone who is even slightly off wouldn't be able to last until the end.

Yu Dazhang was a little worried that Xie Wei wouldn't be able to handle the questions raised by the middleman.

The truth is definitely not something I can tell.

If you told the middleman that you were facing an entire female special forces team, he would probably be scared to death on the spot.

But coming up with a believable reason isn't something you can do in a short time.

"See? I wasn't bragging."

Xie Wei's smug voice came through the headset:

"Let me tell you, I'm lowering the price to 120,000. If I weren't in a hurry to sell, these girls would cost at least 150,000."

A very clever response... Yu Dazhang breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Xie Wei was deliberately changing the subject.

This way, you can give yourself time to think without arousing suspicion from the other party.

But this can only serve as a delaying tactic. Once the middleman comes to inspect the goods, he will definitely find out where these girls came from.

Therefore, the problem of middlemen cannot be avoided.

"The quality is indeed high."

Sure enough, after giving a brief reply, the middle-aged man continued with his previous question:
"Where did you get these girls from? And what do they do? I feel like they're not quite the same as ordinary people."

His voice carried a questioning and inquisitive tone, making it impossible to ignore.

"You have a really good eye."

Xie Wei praised him, and then immediately replied:
"Let me tell you, these girls are all gymnastics trainees from the city sports school, and they are all promising talents."

His voice was full of confidence:
"Don't think I only have an inside man in the school for the deaf and mute. You can't even imagine my connections. Let me put it this way, as long as the other party can afford it, my goods will keep coming in."

"What a talent..." Yu Dazhang couldn't help but admire Xie Wei in his heart upon hearing his answer.

He had to admire Xie Wei's quick wit to come up with such a perfect answer in such a short time.

For gymnasts, a standard physique is a basic requirement, and their body fat percentage must also be controlled within the standard range.

It's perfectly normal to have calluses on your hands.

Rings, pommel horse, parallel bars, horizontal bar...

Regardless of the project, it will cause long-term friction and pressure on the palms.

This answer is practically flawless.

Moreover, Xie Wei's previous transaction involved a group of deaf and mute girls abducted from a school.

It's perfectly reasonable for them to target the school this time as well.

In Yu Dazhang's view, Xie Wei's answer was flawless from every angle.

"You're really capable." The middle-aged man believed him; you could tell from his tone that he genuinely admired Xie Wei.

After that sentence, neither of them spoke again.

Yu Dazhang guessed that the middle-aged man was observing the girls again.

About two minutes later, the middle-aged man's voice rang out again:

"Alright, that's settled then. The goods are fine. This is the first time I've seen one of this quality. I'm even thinking of keeping one for myself."

“Sure,” Xie Wei immediately chimed in.
"Since the person hasn't been delivered yet, you can pick one now, but the price can't change. Let's keep things separate. You have to pay me the full amount now, and then you can take the person away."

This is psychological warfare... Yu Dazhang could tell that the middleman's words were actually a test.

Those in their line of work are always at risk of being caught; those who aren't shrewd enough have already been outmaneuvered and killed.

Xie Wei, this seasoned human trafficker, was clearly a master of manipulation. He had anticipated that the other party would test him like this, otherwise he wouldn't have answered so readily.

"Kidding."

The middle-aged man replied with a smile:

"How could I possibly keep such a ticking time bomb around? Besides, in our line of work, it's all about clear distinctions between people and goods; personal relationships are a major taboo."

As he spoke, he suddenly changed the subject:
"This time you ate the meat and I drank the soup, so in the end I should be thanking you."

Inspection completed... Just by listening to the tone of voice, Yu Dazhang could tell the other party's mental state.

The middle-aged man visibly relaxed, and even his voice sounded light and cheerful.

"Is there any need to be so formal between us?"

Xie Wei also said in a relaxed tone:

"Don't worry, as long as I make money, I'll definitely share it with you."

After exchanging pleasantries, the middle-aged man got down to business:
"Will the deposit still be transferred to your previous account?"

"Yes," Xie Wei replied.
"It's still the same account. No rush, just call before delivery."

At this point in the conversation, Yu Dazhang knew that the middle-aged man was about to leave.

He gently patted Captain Xu's shoulder and then whispered:
"The person is coming out. Notify our people to prepare to follow."

After agreeing, Captain Xu immediately took out his phone and made a call.

Such covert surveillance operations rarely use walkie-talkies with speakerphones, mainly because the loud volume of speakerphones makes it easy to expose the target.

"It's the same garage as last time. Here's the key to the roller shutter door. Don't forget to close the door when you leave. The remote is under the brick next to the door."

After finishing his explanation, the middle-aged man didn't forget to remind him:
"Send the person over in a bit. These things are better done sooner rather than later. The sooner you send them over, the sooner you'll receive the final payment."

Xie Wei readily agreed.

The two then walked out of the house side by side, with Xie Wei escorting the middle-aged man to the front door.

After waving goodbye, the middle-aged man drove away, while Xie Wei returned to the house.

"The officers sent to follow him are already driving slowly on the highway, just waiting for him to get on the road."

Team Leader Xu reported to Yu Dazhang:
"Don't worry, it definitely won't be discovered."

At this moment, Yu Dazhang had already sat up, his eyes fixed on the houses in the distance.

"Have everyone turn on their walkie-talkies."

"it is good."

After agreeing, Captain Xu immediately made a phone call.

After a moment, he nodded to Yu Dazhang.

Yu Dazhang understood, picked up the walkie-talkie, and gave the order:
"After Xie Wei and the others come out, everyone stay where you are and do not move. No vehicle is allowed to follow them."
