Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 667 The big fish takes the bait
As for maintaining distance during surveillance, there's no need to specifically instruct him on that; the provincial police officers are just as experienced as he is.

Moreover, judging from Captain Xu's expression, he didn't seem to want to go along, which clearly showed that he trusted these police officers very much.

"Just bear with it a little longer."

At this moment, Yu Dazhang felt much more relaxed. The arrival of the car to pick them up meant that his previous deduction was correct.

He smiled and said to Captain Xu:
"You can smoke once the pickup van is on its way."

That's right, you still can't smoke.

If a minivan comes out and happens to see it, it would alert the enemy.

Captain Xu nodded, then took a cigarette from the pack, held it under his nose, and smelled it.

Since there was still some time, in order to ease his emotions, Yu Dazhang suddenly changed the subject and asked:

"Captain Xu, have you ever seen a dragon?"

"What the hell?" Captain Xu thought he had misheard and turned around to ask again to confirm.

Not only him, but even the police officer in the driver's seat couldn't help but look in the rearview mirror.

Have you ever seen a dragon?

Yu Dazhang repeated the question he had just asked, his tone serious.

It wasn't my problem... After confirming that he wasn't hallucinating, Captain Xu's eyes widened.

What do you mean?
They're handling a case right now.

In such a tense atmosphere, why is this fat guy bringing up eggs?
Is it because of too much pressure that he went crazy?
Otherwise, what normal person would ask this question so seriously?

But trusting Da Zhang, Captain Xu still gritted his teeth and answered:
"I have not seen."

After he finished speaking, he felt something was off and asked again:

"have you seen?"

Yu Dazhang seemed to have been waiting for him to ask the question, and immediately nodded, then answered in a mysterious tone:
"I've been offered a full-service package."

Team Leader Xu: ? ? ? ?

The police officer in the driver's seat: ? ? ? ?

What a mess!

Team Leader Xu quickly realized what was happening.

After all, he's a man over forty, and he's experienced in every aspect.

"At your age, how could you possibly have that kind of experience?" Captain Xu glanced at him.
"Besides, who's so blind as to think they can serve you? If you turn your back on her, she'll be crying her eyes out."

"No, she can't cry anymore."

He's quite sarcastic... Yu Dazhang discovered that Captain Xu is someone who can take a joke and even catches it.

"Before joining the company, I interned in the public security brigade for three months."

Yu Dazhang said with a serious expression:

"During that time, I went undercover at a bathhouse and saved many women who had gone astray."

Looking back, that period was the most comfortable and happiest time of his life.

There are no major cases to worry about, and no need to deal with violent crimes. Every day is just about prevention and cracking down on prostitution. It's like living in paradise.

Are you sure you're not taking away their livelihoods? Captain Xu asked curiously:

Did you pay the bill later?

Yu Dazhang was taken aback by the question and paused for a moment before answering:
"I signed up for a membership, but I haven't paid."

“That’s Bai…” Captain Xu ultimately didn’t say it aloud, but just shook his head:

"It's normal for young people to have likes and dislikes, as long as they don't go astray."

They were chatting away, but the police officer in the driver's seat was completely bewildered.

This man, who was around thirty years old, was the serious and meticulous type. He hadn't uttered a word since the start of the trip.

Not speaking doesn't mean you're not curious.

Has this fat guy been served by a dragon?
Despite the absurdity of the topic, Captain Xu actually joined in the conversation, and the two even seemed to be having a lively chat. Later, the conversation even drifted to the bathhouse.

What is this and what?

Weren't we talking about dragons? Why are we talking about prostitutes again?

Now he's even thinking of asking Yu Dazhang: What does a dragon actually look like?
Strangely enough, this interruption actually relaxed their tense nerves.

This was also the main purpose of Yu Dazhang and his group's nonsense.

Although smoking is a bad habit, it can effectively relieve mental stress. He was really afraid that Xu Dui would lose his composure.

Just then, a report came through the walkie-talkie:

"The target has moved. The location data shows that the seven girls are moving rapidly toward the main entrance of the villa area."

They got on the bus!
As expected... Yu Dazhang is now certain that the big fish is in the villa.

The bait was on its way, proving that his previous deduction was completely correct.

"Groups two, three, and four, get ready to follow."

Yu Dazhang picked up the walkie-talkie and quickly said:
"Report any situation on the road immediately. If the positioning signal is interrupted, take immediate action without asking for permission."

I still need to remind them of the things that need to be said.

He wasn't worried about the provincial police officers' abilities; his only concern was that they might hesitate at the last minute.

The safety of those female special forces members is always the top priority.

Yu Dazhang had just put down the walkie-talkie when he saw the van from before arrive at the gate.

Upon seeing this, the security guard immediately raised the barrier and waved to the car.

"He's quite polite..." Yu Dazhang was so angry at the scene before him that he laughed.

Such security is practically non-existent. Giving them two packs of cigarettes is enough to make them sworn brothers with criminals. Expecting them to keep you safe is a joke.

In his previous life, Yu Dazhang had handled several cases where security guards and homeowners injured each other.

The fact that a criminal investigator like him got involved shows just how serious the beating was.

Watching the van drive away, Captain Xu turned back to look at Yu Dazhang:

"Action?"

"Wait a little longer," Yu Dazhang replied softly.
“They just left. The people in the villa are still on edge. Let’s wait a bit longer. Tell our people to control the security guards at the gate when we move in, to prevent them from tipping us off.”

He's starting to suspect that the security guards at the gate are in cahoots with the people inside the villa.

Based on what had just happened at the door, he couldn't help but think the worst.

Especially in such covert arrest operations, it is absolutely crucial to leave no time for the other side to react; a swift and decisive action is essential.

Seeing that Captain Xu was getting agitated, Yu Dazhang gently reminded him:

"You can smoke now."

Upon hearing this, Captain Xu put the cigarette he had just taken out into his mouth, picked up a lighter and was about to light it, but then, as if remembering something, he put the lighter down again.

"What's wrong?" Yu Dazhang couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing." Captain Xu sighed.
"Suddenly I don't want to smoke anymore. I'll wait until the operation is over."

That's just how people are; they often only want to smoke when they're idle or bored, but they don't want to smoke when they're about to do something.

About ten minutes later, Yu Dazhang picked up the walkie-talkie:

"action!"

The villa complex had two gates. At his command, officers from both sides drove up to the gates simultaneously. When the security guards came up to question him, they quickly got out of their cars and subdued him.

Even with three fewer groups of people, there are still ten criminal police officers left on this side.

Including Yu Dazhang and Captain Xu, there were twelve people in total, more than enough to complete the arrest operation.

"Leave one person on each side in the security room to guard against any actions they may take."

Yu Dazhang, holding the walkie-talkie, gave the order:
"The rest of you, come with me to the villa to arrest them."
