Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 685 Integrating All Resources That Can Be Integrated
The person has been rescued?
Team leader Hua held his phone, still in the position of talking on the phone, but he was frozen in place.

He remembered clearly that when Yu Dazhang called him earlier, he didn't mention that the person had been rescued.

How long has it been since?

In just over an hour, just as they had apprehended the suspect based on the clues he provided, there was already new progress on the other side.

What kind of efficiency is this?
Such a difficult case was like a joke to him; in just two days, all the missing people in Songhai were found.

At this moment, Captain Hua suddenly felt that he might not be very suitable for the criminal investigation profession.

Compared to Yu Dazhang's swift and decisive crime-solving speed, he was simply a hindrance.

"Where is he now?" Captain Hua asked.

What he wants to do most right now is to get to Yu Dazhang's side immediately.

At this rate, it won't be long before the case is finally solved.

At this time, you should naturally be with the person in charge of the case.

"Going to sleep."

Captain Xu naturally knew what he was thinking. Both of them were deputy chiefs of the Criminal Investigation Corps, having risen through the ranks from the grassroots. They were both well aware of each other's little schemes.

"He's been busy since yesterday morning, so let's not bother him."

Team Leader Xu said in a reassuring tone:

"I think you should wait for him to give you the order. You and I have both worked on cases under him, and we are very familiar with his style of doing things."

"Whether it's handling cases or being a person, he has never disappointed anyone, so you have absolutely no need to worry."

The two had worked together for a while before and had gotten to know each other, so they spoke quite casually.

"The problem is, I have nothing left to investigate in Songhai."

Team Hua said helplessly:
“He’s found the people and his next target, and even taken down their hideout. The next investigation will definitely not be focused on Songhai. What am I still doing here?”

He knew that Captain Xu's words made sense. Yu Dazhang had never done anything wrong, whether in public or private matters, but he still felt uneasy.

The case is progressing far too quickly.

It even gave him the illusion that if he had called any later, the mastermind might have been caught.

This feeling made the Chinese team very anxious.

Do you know how many people we just rescued?

Captain Xu's tone suddenly changed, becoming serious and solemn.

"How many people?" Team Leader Hua also composed himself and asked seriously.

In his view, including the fourteen deaf-mute girls in S Province, plus some women who were trafficked separately, and the seven girls in Songhai, the final number would not exceed thirty.

"The place where the other party was hiding was a bathhouse."

Team Leader Xu quickly said:
"It's called a bathhouse, but it's actually an entertainment venue that combines bathing, accommodation, and dining. There are more than forty people in charge of supervising it."

“On the fifth floor, we found nine private rooms, seven of which were full. There were ten people in one room. You can do the math yourself.”

At this point, his tone became somewhat heavy:
"Moreover, the fourteen deaf-mute female students are not among them."

So many people? Team leader Hua was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

The key is the last sentence.

Hua's mind worked very quickly. He immediately realized that the women being held captive in that bathhouse were women he had acquired in the past two weeks.

Because those fourteen deaf and mute female students had gone missing half a month ago.

This is just one of the Tibetan hideouts; if the investigation continues...

Team leader Hua couldn't even imagine how big this case was.

In short, in his more than ten years as a police officer, he had never seen such a big case.

"That……"

Team leader Hua hesitated; given the current situation, he really didn't dare to make any rash moves.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll wait for him to contact me. I trust his judgment and arrangements."

After ending the call, Hua took two deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

The main reason he was frustrated was that Yu Dazhang's progress was too fast, which made him feel frustrated.

But after realizing the seriousness of the case, he gradually calmed down.

Solving the case should still be the priority.

Since I am not capable enough to solve such a big case, I will do my best to assist the person who is capable of solving it.

Once he reaches his position, he can no longer consider issues based solely on his own abilities.

Instead, we need to integrate all available resources to achieve the ultimate goal.

The next day.

Yu Dazhang slept straight until 10:30 a.m.

After waking up, he blinked in a daze before slowly coming to his senses.

He first glanced at the time, then checked the unread messages.

Not a single unread message?

No one had sent him any messages, whether via text message or messaging app, and there were no missed calls.

He sat up, went to the bathroom, and thought about it while washing up.

I sent Ye Lin the portrait the night before last, and two days have passed, but she still hasn't replied.

This doesn't seem to be in line with the efficiency of the National Security Bureau.

In his view, investigating just one person should be something that the National Security Bureau could do quickly, given its resources and capabilities.

Has Ye Lin forgotten?
It's very possible.

He recalled the scene when he spoke with Ye Lin that night.

It was obvious that she had been woken up from her sleep; her voice was groggy and slightly hoarse, as if she had just gotten out of bed.

Although Ye Lin's voice became clearer later, it's possible that she went back to sleep after they finished talking.

This kind of intermittent sleep is the easiest way to make people forget things, because when they wake up again, they can't distinguish between reality and dreams.

Should we give her a call and ask?
After washing up, Yu Dazhang returned to the bedside and picked up his phone again.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and dialed Ye Lin's number.

His idea was simple: if Ye Lin forgot about it, he would remind her.

The ringtone had only rung twice when the phone went dead with a busy signal.

He hung up on me... Yu Dazhang held his phone, momentarily stunned.

Just as he was considering whether to continue dialing, a new message came through on his messaging app; it was from Ye Lin.

I'll get back to you later.

How long is "later"? Yu Dazhang got up from the bed and paced back and forth in the room.

The problem is, he doesn't have time to wait.

Team Leader Xu didn't contact him because he wanted him to sleep a little longer, but that time was limited.

Most importantly, he didn't want to discuss this with Ye Lin in front of others.

Yu Dazhang doesn't have many secrets, but this is one of them.

He wandered around the room for about five minutes, but he couldn't wait any longer, so he got dressed and went out.

But as soon as he opened the door, his phone suddenly rang.

After the call connected, Ye Lin's voice came through:

"You really know how to time your calls, always choosing when I'm sleeping or in a meeting. So, what's up this time?"
