Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 665 This case is a bit outrageous.

About ten minutes later.

The walkie-talkie crackled with the report from the officers at the front:

"The target vehicle has turned into the intersection leading to the villa area in the south of the city. Should we continue to follow it?"

Upon hearing this, Captain Xu immediately picked up the walkie-talkie:

"Don't follow them in. After they go in, you can stay at the entrance. The rest of you should search the entire perimeter of the villa area, find all the entrances and exits, and monitor them."

He put down the intercom and turned to look at the back seat:
"Now we can confirm that their destination is the villa area."

They had anticipated this, but to confirm it, they had to wait until the target vehicle entered the villa area.

"Call the officers around Xie Wei," Yu Dazhang ordered.
"I want to speak with Xie Wei."

The call was quickly connected, and Captain Xu handed him the phone.

After taking it, Yu Dazhang asked directly:
"Where are you?"

"Just arrived at the station," the officer on the other end replied.
"We are preparing to continue the interrogation of Xie Wei."

Xie Wei has more than just this one case on his hands; that phone book alone is enough to keep him on his toes for a while.

After all, uncovering other human traffickers is also within the scope of the task force's responsibilities.

"Have Xie Wei use his phone to contact the middleman."

Yu Dazhang said in a commanding tone:
"Just tell him that he has important matters to discuss with his next client, ask them to call back as soon as possible, and then notify the technical department to locate the other party's position."

Prior to this, the phone number the other party used to contact Xie Wei had lost signal and had not been restored.

It's obvious that the other party destroyed the phone card.

If you want to locate the other party again, you have to get them to call you back.

What Yu Dazhang really wanted to arrest was the woman on the phone.

A rare opportunity.

The bait has already been cast, but without any big fish taking the bait, how could he possibly retrieve it so easily?

After ending the call, he said to Captain Xu in front of him:

"Keep a close eye on the girls' location signals, and report any abnormalities immediately."

If he couldn't catch that woman, he planned to continue transferring these girls out.

He didn't believe that this villa area was the other party's final destination.

The other party is acquiring companies nationwide; he knows of at least three regions involved, with more than thirty people missing.

What if you don't know?
Some human traffickers may only abduct one person and then sell them to a buyer.

The case of a missing person usually does not attract much attention.

Just imagine how many such cases there are across the country.

Therefore, even if the other party wanted to hide, they would find a relatively safe base where they could keep these girls under their long-term supervision.

The fact that they brought the people here directly proves that this is not a safe location.

In Da Zhang's view, at least a few transfers are needed before one can be completely at ease.

About twenty minutes later, Captain Xu's phone rang.

After answering the call, he said "hmm" and then handed the phone to the person in the back seat.

Yu Dazhang took the phone and held it to his ear:

"explain."

"The middleman replied, saying the other party refused to contact us," the officer on the other end said quickly.
"The reason is that the money and goods are settled in full, and everything is done according to the rules. Unless there are new goods, we will not discuss anything else."

Too cautious… Yu Dazhang felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this.

The other party is not afraid of being located at all, because after the call, they will destroy the SIM card, not giving anyone the opportunity to continue locating them.

Moreover, they will only contact the seller once during the transaction.

After the transaction, for whatever reason, I will never contact them again.

Clean and efficient.

This is actually the most efficient and safest approach.

The two parties have just completed the transaction, so Xie Wei is unlikely to have any new goods.

In other words, it's no longer possible to locate the other party through Xie Wei; that avenue is blocked.

After ending the call, Captain Xu immediately asked:

"So, shall we arrest him?"

"It's not the right time yet." Yu Dazhang shook his head.
"Even if we're going to arrest them, we have to wait until they transfer them out." He was helpless, but now he could only wait.

Taking any rash action without knowing whether the main suspect is in the villa area would be the most foolish thing to do.

Captain Xu naturally knew what he was thinking, so after receiving the reply, he didn't say anything more.

Yu Dazhang leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and began to think.

This villa area should be their base in S province, serving as both a transit point and a temporary place to keep the girls they bought under their care.

Where there is a transit station, there will be places similar to warehouses, which can gather large numbers of girls without being detected.

Such a place cannot be too remote.

There must be a certain flow of people at all times; only in this way, with girls frequently coming and going, will it not attract attention.

The saying "the greatest hermit lives in the city" takes advantage of this psychology.

It's spacious enough, has high foot traffic, and girls frequently come and go...

What kind of place can meet all of the above requirements?
Commercial establishments.

That's right, only commercial establishments can meet these conditions, and they must be entertainment establishments.

such as……

Bars, bathhouses, nightclubs, KTVs, foot massage parlors.

In Yu Dazhang's understanding, these were the only things he could think of; anything more advanced was beyond his reach.

Places like clubs and private clubs seem to meet the requirements, but they don't attract as many people as entertainment venues.

That's quite expensive... Yu Dazhang suddenly realized that this case was a bit outrageous.

To acquire an entertainment venue for Tibetans?

Is this person still a human trafficker?
Am I thinking the wrong thing?

No, it's not my problem... Yu Dazhang quickly realized that he was just making inferences based on the other party's style of doing things.

Paying exorbitant prices to acquire eligible girls and using villas as transit points—these actions all demonstrate that they are not short of money.

Given this, taking over an entertainment venue is nothing new.

Why not just send it to the next location?
When the question came to mind, Yu Dazhang was somewhat uncertain.

Because he couldn't think of a precise answer right away.

Two possibilities:

1. These people didn't know where the next stop was, so they could only take the person back to the villa area.

2. That woman was also a secondhand dealer.

Just like Xie Wei.

However, she was clearly of a higher rank than Xie Wei.

If you really want to compare them, Xie Wei is in the retail business, while that woman is in the wholesale business.

It's very possible... The more Yu Dazhang thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Moreover, these two possibilities can be combined.

The problem comes again.

I don't know where the next stop is, so how do I get transferred out?
There's only one answer: wait for the other party to come and pick you up.

Thinking of this, Yu Dazhang immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and issued the order:
"Attention everyone, if you see any vehicles with seven or more seats entering the villa area, report to me immediately."

As the command was issued, repeated "received" came through the intercom.

He put down the walkie-talkie and looked at Captain Xu again:
"Do we have any reconnaissance soldiers in our task force?"

“There are two,” Captain Xu replied immediately.
"They were all transferred to provincial departments."

After answering, he immediately realized what he meant:

"You don't mean to let them sneak in, do you? There are surveillance cameras all around here."

He also considered sending someone in to investigate, at least to find out which villa the other party was in.

But after glancing at the door, he dismissed the idea.

The walls of this villa area are covered by surveillance cameras at intervals, almost completely.

"Surveillance is not a panacea."

Yu Dazhang revealed a confident expression:

"Moreover, this is a villa area, not a military restricted area. It would be quite easy for a reconnaissance soldier who has served in the military to find blind spots in the surveillance."
