Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 670 Eyes Don't Lie
After saying that, the two women's pupils dilated suddenly, staring at the fat man in front of them in disbelief.

"I bet you were the one who tied her up first."

Yu Dazhang looked at the slightly older woman and continued:

"Because her knots look stronger."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the rope on the woman's wrist, giving it a sharp tug:
"Look at this, it comes loose as soon as you pull it, you can tell you didn't use any force when you tied it."

"No, it's not that she didn't use force, but that her hands were tied, so she couldn't exert any force."

Because the woman's wrists were already handcuffed, the rope was pulled off, but she still couldn't move her hands freely.

Under her terrified gaze, Yu Dazhang pointed to her clothes again:

“Your clothes look like they were torn on the spot, and it’s obvious that they were deliberately torn like this.”

He shook his head, seemingly disappointed:
"That's so thoughtless. Even if it was a spur-of-the-moment decision and you were in a hurry, it still has to be logical."

"Look at these wrinkled marks, they are clearly left by a woman's palm, and they are too symmetrical."

Yu Dazhang pointed at the two men:

"If the clothes are damaged during the pulling process, the force must have been applied from one side, resulting in one side being good and the other side being bad."

"You guys are really something else, all of them torn symmetrically on both sides, but the clothes inside are perfectly intact."

"Could it be that they lost interest immediately after damaging your clothes?"

During his speech, the older woman tried to interrupt him several times, but she didn't make a sound.

Yu Dazhang could tell that she wanted to speak, so he stopped and gestured with his eyes that she could speak.

As a result, the woman looked hesitant several times, but didn't utter a single word.

"Speechless?" Yu Dazhang looked at her with a half-smile.

If this woman was clear-headed before, she was now completely confused by Yu Dazhang.

Do you know what's the most mentally taxing thing?

Faced with Da Zhang's sudden question, the woman instinctively shook her head.

Not only her, but even Captain Xu and the others standing to the side became interested in this question.

"The most mentally taxing part is when a lie is exposed and you try to cover it up with another lie."

Yu Dazhang said in a deep voice:
"At the same time, it is also the time of greatest psychological pressure."

"Don't waste your energy. In my eyes, your act is full of flaws and there's no need for you to continue."

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

The two women's faces instantly turned ugly.

Even a fool could see that there was something wrong with these two.

Seeing that the two women remained silent, Yu Dazhang asked in a teasing tone:

"What, are you going to struggle a little longer?"

Seemingly realizing that there was no way to defend herself, the older woman let out a long breath and looked completely relaxed.

She then shook her head and said:

"It still doesn't work. These little tricks are completely meaningless in front of professionals like you."

"I'm just a little unwilling to give up. I feel like I'll have a regret if I don't try. What if I succeed?"

Her voice revealed a hint of resentment and frustration:

"Actually, I didn't expect to fool you. As soon as those people enter the interrogation room, they will confess about the two of us very quickly."

“But there’s a time lag. As long as you don’t treat us as suspects, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to escape before they’re interrogated.”

She gave a bitter laugh at the end:
"I was still taking things for granted; you saw through us at a glance."

"A little trick?" Captain Xu and the other two officers blushed.

To them, her words sounded like sarcasm.

Just now, at first glance, they really mistook them for trafficked women.

The main reasons were the unique environment, the atmosphere, their status as women, their disheveled clothes, and their messy hair...

With all these factors combined, it's hard not to think in that direction.

Upon seeing them, the fat man didn't hesitate for a second; he immediately drew his gun. It was as if he would open fire without hesitation if they made the slightest move.

Team Leader Xu knew there was a gap between him and Yu Dazhang, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big.

Just as that woman said, if Yu Dazhang hadn't been there, they most likely wouldn't have considered the two of them as suspects.

If they were treated as trafficked women, they certainly wouldn't be properly supervised, and the consequences would be predictable.

Just thinking about the consequences made Captain Xu break out in a sweat.

He was tricked by human traffickers in person, and they even escaped. As the deputy captain, he would definitely have to step down and make way for someone more capable. Moreover, he would become a laughing stock within the system.

Fortunately, I met him in Songhai... Captain Xu's gaze towards Yu Dazhang has changed now.

The two women were then pulled up from the ground by the police officers, but just as they were about to leave the room, the older woman turned back to Yu Dazhang and asked:

"Before you leave, could you answer one of my questions?"

Yu Dazhang nodded:

"Go ahead."

Seeing that he had agreed, the woman immediately asked:

How did you find this place?

After asking the question, she immediately added:

"The entire transaction process was flawless. Even if you used phone location tracking, you wouldn't be able to pinpoint this location. How did you manage to do that?"

Are you trying to trick me...? Yu Dazhang immediately realized that this was a sensitive issue.

Revealing case details to suspects and discussing case-solving strategies is not something a criminal investigator should do.

Moreover, he had already identified her from her voice as the woman who had spoken to Xie Wei earlier.

In other words, this person is the prime suspect.

Yu Dazhang wanted to reveal something to her, telling her that Xie Wei had been arrested, so that she could give up hope.

But then I thought, this would be tantamount to exposing the identities of those seven female special forces members.

This is a taboo!

Especially since the mission is still ongoing, revealing such information is no different from betraying one's teammates.

I can't answer that question.

Yu Dazhang simply told the truth:
“I have no right to disclose any information to you regarding the case.”

After he finished speaking, he waved to them, signaling the police officers to take them away.

After they left, Yu Dazhang checked the storage room one last time.

He was relieved after confirming that they had not left any belongings behind.

Just as he was about to go upstairs, Captain Xu couldn't help but ask:
"Did you immediately assume there was something wrong with them the moment you saw them?"

With rope knots and clothes involved, he felt that such reasons were too far-fetched.

Furthermore, he believes that these facts do not directly prove that the two women necessarily have a problem.

"not at all."

Yu Dazhang said with a serious expression:

"What I told them was all evidence, meant to get them to tell the truth."

"Do you remember what the officer who was closest to them said when they were first found?"

Team Leader Xu thought for a moment, then replied:
"I remember he said at the time: 'Don't be afraid, we are police officers, you are safe.'"

He didn't think there was anything wrong with that statement.

If you treat the other person as a trafficked woman, this kind of rhetoric is undoubtedly quite standard.

"The problem lies in this sentence."

Yu Dazhang explained:

"Upon hearing this, their eyes did not show the joy of surviving a disaster, but were instead filled with fear and despair."

“I recently handled a kidnapping case, so I still vividly remember the expressions on the faces of those who were rescued.”
