Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 678 The Most Powerful Human Trafficker

"What a beast..." Yu Dazhang couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Falling into that pervert's hands means there are only two paths left for the future:

1. He was beaten to death.

2. He survived, but committed a serious crime.

Neither way will make a difference.

This is the real demon.

But the more someone disregards human life, the less likely they are to be caught.

Think about it: if someone like this can use his fellow human beings as tools, what else is he incapable of doing?

There is often such a scene in movies and TV dramas.

The villain said, "This is my last time. I'll stop after this."

Whenever this scene appears, it means the villain is doomed.

This is actually quite realistic.

The villain stopped not because he had made enough money, but because he had a soft heart.

In the eyes of his colleagues who had worked with him, he became a major threat, so he had to die.

On the contrary, those who persisted in their chosen path to the bitter end were the ones who survived to the end.

That pervert escaped legal punishment and drank himself to death; in a way, he survived to the end.

"Did that pervert you mentioned really die in an accident?" Yu Dazhang asked.

Something was off; he felt that the pervert died too easily.

"A cautious person like him won't be harmed." Zhang Qian gave a bitter smile.
“I tried to give him sleeping pills, but he saw through it immediately. I almost got beaten to death that time.”

"Perhaps even God couldn't bear to see him die suddenly after drinking."

He didn't die suddenly; he was scared to death by himself... Yu Dazhang has seen too many examples like this.

When a person is overly cautious, it's like living in constant fear, always afraid of being harmed. Over time, this can cause problems with their brain and nerves.

This is probably why that person was manic.

A prolonged lack of security can drive a person crazy.

Finally, he chose to numb himself with alcohol, to the point that the string in his brain snapped all at once.

People can be so scared of themselves that they'll die if they do something wrong.

How much do you know about that acquiring company?

Yu Dazhang changed the question.

Before hypnosis, he already knew quite a bit about Zhang Qian's situation, but only about her personal experiences and encounters.

She would fall silent whenever the topic turned to other people.

But this time, without even thinking, she answered directly:

"His name is Zhang Jiangke. I don't know his exact age, but he looks to be over fifty. However, it's hard to say, as men generally look younger as they get older, so he could also be over sixty."

Zhang Qian speaks very quickly:
"Also, I don't know if the name is real, but that pervert always calls him Old Zhang."

"I saw his ID card by chance once."

Age is definitely not something you can tell just by looking at your face.

Take Zhang Qian, for example.

At first, Yu Dazhang thought she must be at least 30 years old, probably between 32 and 35.

When her identity information was checked, it turned out she was only 28 years old.

Logically speaking, if a woman takes good care of herself, she can still look youthful even after 30.

But Zhang Qian is a counterexample.

Of course, this is mainly related to her experience. Being tormented for three years, it's normal to look a little older.

“You’ve seen his ID card, so you should know his exact age.” Yu Dazhang quickly discovered the flaw; his birth date was clearly written on his ID card.

"I only glanced at it at the time," Zhang Qian explained.

"That time, I was taken by that pervert to the hotel where Zhang Jiangke was to discuss some matters."

"When we entered his room, I noticed an ID card on the table, and out of curiosity, I glanced at it."

"Zhang Jiangke reacted quickly. When he saw me looking over, he immediately put his ID card away."

She shook her head helplessly:

"The time was too short, so I only saw the photos and names on them."

It's the truth... Yu Dazhang had been staring at Zhang Qian, observing her changes in expression, but he didn't see any signs of lying.

Moreover, what she said was logical.

When people see an ID card, they instinctively look at the photo and name first, and then look at other information.

"A man?" Yu Dazhang asked again.

Although the name suggests a male, we still need to confirm.

"Yes," Zhang Qian replied, then added:
"This person is very strange. He speaks and acts very politely, and you don't feel any threat at all. He is the gentle and refined type."

She paused briefly, as if recalling her encounter with this person, before continuing:
"In the human trafficking business, this is the first time I've seen someone like him, and his Mandarin is very standard, with no accent at all."

"In my opinion, he is the largest acquirer in China, or at least the most powerful one I have ever met."

Finally, Zhang Qian revealed another piece of information about this person:
"I heard that he stays abroad most of the year and rarely comes back unless he has a big business deal."

You could tell she was trying to be as detailed as possible, saying whatever came to mind.

However, it is precisely these seemingly fragmented memories that are most likely to evoke associations.

This should be a gentle person... Yu Dazhang made this judgment in his mind.

Unlike those who yearn for life abroad, the real "Runren" (a term referring to people who are not particularly fond of life abroad) are those who make a choice out of necessity to protect themselves.

Such people focus their lives abroad and don't care even if their misdeeds are exposed in China.

If there's an opportunity to make a lot of money, these people will still return to China.

But it will only be a short stay, and they will be homeless.

A gentle and refined demeanor with perfect Mandarin is a very common trait, making it difficult for someone to remember you.

The fact that Zhang Qian was able to speak out shows that she was genuinely trying to cooperate with the police.

Do you know where he is right now?

Yu Dazhang thought for a moment and then added:
"Or does he have a fixed place to stay in the country?"

He didn't believe that Zhang Jiangke didn't even have a place to hide.

In case he gets caught in a crime in China, he needs a safe place to escape to in case of emergencies. Repeat offenders like him usually have the habit of having multiple escape routes.

"I really don't know this."

Zhang Qian shook her head:

“Over the years, every time I’ve seen him, it’s been in a hotel; I’ve never even seen him in a public place.”

She paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject:
"But I'm sure he's in China right now."

"Based on my understanding of him, he would definitely come back to handle such a big business personally. People are greedy, and he is no exception. This is one of his few weaknesses."

He spends most of his time abroad and only comes back when he's making money... Yu Dazhang felt that Zhang Jiangke's approach was somewhat familiar.

It seems that many celebrities in China do this.

"Haven't you seen him recently?" Yu Dazhang asked again.

"No," Zhang Qian replied.

“He’s gone too far this time, buying up eligible women across the country at ridiculously high prices. With such a huge business, he doesn’t even have time to meet with me anymore.”
