Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 664 The Human Trafficker Who Can Afford to Live in a Villa

He had assumed that the woman he had spoken to on the phone earlier would come in person.

After all, Songhai is not far from here, and in terms of time, there is plenty of time. However, I did not expect that all those who came were just small fry.

It seems these seven girls aren't enough to make her show her face.

In that case, we can't close the net.

Without the main suspect appearing, even if the operation is launched, those caught will only be insignificant minor figures, which will not substantially advance the case.

"Pass the notification down; we will proceed with segmented tracking from now on."

Yu Dazhang whispered to Captain Xu:

"There's only one principle: if we find those girls in danger, we'll take them down immediately."

He always kept in mind that, no matter what the situation, the safety of personnel was always the top priority.

We'd rather the leads go cold than let anything happen to these female special forces members.

They came to help, not to die.

Those human traffickers are capable of anything when they're cornered, so Yu Dazhang dared not gamble, nor could he.

The four men in the garage moved swiftly and quickly brought out the seven girls.

Two girls were pushed into the car in front, while the remaining five were crammed into the van in the back.

The garage lights went out, and then the two cars turned around and drove back the way they came.

Upon seeing this, Captain Xu immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and issued the order:

"The target vehicle has left, and the vehicles on the road are moving."

At this point, the cars waiting on the roadside can no longer remain stationary.

If they follow the target vehicle after it drives past them, it will inevitably arouse the other party's suspicion.

Those who work in this line of work are always on edge; the slightest disturbance can trigger their sensitive nerves.

A car parked on the side of the road suddenly followed. Do you think they noticed?
Therefore, the best approach is to have the vehicle drive slowly on the road. When the suspect sees that the car in front is moving slowly, he will naturally overtake it.

At this point, it would be perfectly logical to hang behind the other person.

The vehicle Yu Dazhang was in did not start until the target vehicle had entered the highway.

This time, including them, there were a total of eight vehicles, which would be enough even without them.

This demonstrates the extent of the provincial department's support for the special task force.

We'll provide people if you need them, and we'll provide cars if you need them.

What appears to be support is actually a form of pressure.

Another hour passed in the blink of an eye. The vehicle responsible for tracking had been changed four times. Everyone in the task force remained highly focused, afraid of losing sight of the target vehicle.

Yu Dazhang, on the other hand, was quite relaxed.

Each of the seven female special forces members had a tracking device cleverly concealed on her body.

Some are hidden in the buttons of clothes, some in the collar, and some in the uppers of shoes. Unless the other party uses professional detection equipment, they will not be able to find these locators at all.

Once these locators are blocked, the task force will take immediate action.

Yu Dazhang remained silent for the entire hour.

Captain Xu looked back at him several times and found that he was resting with his eyes closed, so he refrained from making a sound to disturb him.

But as the stalking continued for longer and longer, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Da Zhang, wake up, wake up!"

"Hmm?" Yu Dazhang opened his eyes and looked at him in confusion.

"We've been following them for over an hour," Captain Xu said in a deep voice.
"I estimate we're almost there. Judging from the direction, our destination should be the villa area in the south of the city."

That's the advantage of being a local.

Without looking at a map or analyzing directions, you can know where the other person is going simply by being familiar with the local area.

Yu Dazhang stretched and twisted his neck a couple of times before saying, "If I'm not mistaken, things are about to get a little tricky."

“There will definitely be access control in the villa area, so our vehicles won’t be able to get in. Once we get there, we can only park near the entrance.”

His brow furrowed slightly, as if he were pondering some difficult problem:
"I've been wondering where they'll take them?"

“If we take them to the city center, the risk of exposure is too great. After all, they are living people, and it is difficult to hide them. With so many girls, their comings and goings will definitely attract the attention of people around them.”

"Hiding in that abandoned factory building won't work either."

"In the middle of nowhere, if someone suddenly appears, it will be more conspicuous, and daily life will be inconvenient."

Yu Dazhang continued his analysis:

"Now that I think about it, the villa area is actually the most suitable for Tibetans."

“There is access control there, and the living space is large enough that cars can drive directly into the yard, making entry and exit more discreet.”

He suddenly stopped talking, as if he couldn't figure something out.

After a while, he continued:
"There are very few human traffickers like this. This is the first time I've seen a human trafficker who can afford to live in a villa."

That's what he can't understand.

The vast majority of human traffickers are from the lower classes, and their motives for committing crimes are nothing more than money.

Often, they will abduct a person for a few thousand yuan.

This shows the extent to which they are willing to do anything for money.

When wealth reaches a certain level, no one will do something so risky that could cost them their life.

Xie Wei is a case in point.

This heist has already made him a lot of money.

He wouldn't consider continuing in this line of work until he'd spent all the money.

However, Xie Wei's downstream client defied this common sense. She was clearly not short of money, yet she still engaged in such shady dealings.

Does he have a penchant for human trafficking?

will not.

Yu Dazhang had heard of many wealthy people's unusual hobbies, but he had never heard of anyone who considered human trafficking a hobby.

No matter how much money you have, it's useless if you have this hobby; if you get caught, you're definitely going to jail.

Therefore, Yu Dazhang still does not know the other party's criminal motive.

"So, when we get there, will you arrest them?"

Team Leader Xu hesitated before saying:

“We could force our way into the villa area, but that would definitely alert them, and then we would have to close in.”

This is indeed a problem.

In other words, the task force is now in a dilemma.

If they don't go in, they can't grasp the situation inside, and if something unexpected happens, they will be derelict in their duty.

However, if they force their way in and close the net, they might only catch some small fry, making their operation a complete waste of effort.

Moreover, this hard-won lead will be lost as a result.

The main suspect will go into hiding, and it's unknown when they will be found again.

The matter is of great importance, so Captain Xu dared not make this decision.

This is not because he is timid or afraid of taking responsibility, but because he is afraid of making the wrong choice.

"Don't act rashly."

Yu Dazhang thought for a moment and said:
"When we get there, don't force your way in. First, find out how many entrances and exits the villa has, then park your car in front of the villa."

"There are some things I need to confirm."
