Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 688: Over 100 million is just a conservative estimate
probably not.

Yu Dazhang realized he had been making assumptions.

We cannot force two people together just because they have some similarity.

Now there is another problem.

Is this hidden spot, the bathhouse, owned by Zhang Jiangke, or by the person who paid to buy the girl?
Think differently.

Yu Dazhang thought about it from Zhang Jiangke's perspective.

After sending someone to pick up the girl, one can completely ignore the resale step and directly take her to the buyer.

This way, one step can be omitted, and the process can be completed in one step, directly exchanging people for money.

There is another key point.

Zhang Jiangke, as a secondhand dealer, wouldn't hire so many people to guard and protect the trafficked women.

Moreover, opening a bathhouse is not the style of human traffickers.

Using legitimate business to cover up criminal activities is a method that human traffickers would never think of.

Moreover, both hiring staff and operating a bathhouse require a lot of financial resources, which is too costly for Zhang Jiangke.

Therefore, this bathhouse is most likely run by the mastermind.

Having reached this conclusion, Yu Dazhang closed the investigation record and returned it to the police officer.

After leaving the technical department, he returned to the observation room, just in time to see Captain Xu walking towards him from the direction of the office.

Seeing that his eyes were bloodshot, Yu Dazhang asked with concern:

"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"I've had enough sleep." Captain Xu rubbed his temples.
"I can't sleep well when I have something on my mind, and as I get older, I'm sleeping less and less."

This is actually an occupational hazard for criminal police officers.

When faced with difficult cases, staying up all night becomes the norm, and over time it becomes a habit.

That's how Yu Dazhang was in his previous life.

When handling cases, I often stay up all night. If I get too tired, I take a nap for a couple of hours and I can get through the day again.

Over time, this can lead to neurasthenia.

This is also the main reason why the average lifespan of frontline police officers is only 48 years.

Yu Dazhang wouldn't do that now. Unless it's a special case, he wouldn't ruin his health just to show his dedication.

The two then went together into the temporary office next to the observation room.

As soon as he sat down, Yu Dazhang asked:
Have you checked the background information of the bathhouse?

"I've checked it." Captain Xu took a document from his desk and handed it to him:
"This bathhouse officially opened five years ago. Business is neither good nor bad, but the owner has been keeping it afloat."

“Until last October, an agent contacted him and said that someone wanted to buy his bathhouse.”

Yu Dazhang flipped through the documents, while Captain Xu added explanations from the side:
"According to the boss, the price offered by the other party was higher than he expected, so he didn't even bother to bargain."

“We have also investigated the legal representative and confirmed that he was hired by the other party to take the blame. Someone gave him 20,000 yuan to be the legal representative.”

Is 20,000 yuan too little to find someone to take the blame and act as the legal representative?
If you have this idea, it means you don't understand the market.

Go to the countryside or rural areas and find people who have lost their ability to work. Five thousand yuan is a large sum of money. They will cooperate with you to do anything.

This is how many financial crimes in China are committed.

There are also many self-proclaimed "lying down" experts who can sell their ID cards for as little as 200 yuan.

"The other party premeditatedly bought this bathhouse in the first place."

Yu Dazhang thought for a moment and said:
"This shows that the mastermind did not act on a whim; he had prepared the location of the Tibetans before deciding to acquire the women."

"Moreover, the other party has bought more than just this one entertainment venue across the country."

He frowned slightly and said thoughtfully:

"They really have plenty of money. They bought an entertainment venue of this size just to hide people."

"Hiring someone to guard them is a huge expense, and no one will be willing to do this kind of illegal and criminal activity if the pay isn't high enough." Finally, Yu Dazhang sighed:

"Adding the money used to acquire women, the total cost is estimated to be over 100 million."

He couldn't calculate the exact amount of money because the total number of trafficked people was currently unquantifiable.

However, one thing is certain now: the offer from the other party to Zhang Jiangke will not be less than 150,000 yuan per person.

Only if the price reached this level would Zhang Jiangke have taken the risk and committed such a serious crime.

Based on this calculation, the total value of the women rescued from the bathhouse has reached an alarming figure.

This doesn't even include the women who had already been transferred, including the fourteen deaf and mute female students.

"Hundreds of millions is just a conservative estimate."

Team Leader Xu's face was very grim:

"After initial questioning of the trafficked women, the number of confirmed trafficking cases has now reached double digits."

"Because there are too many people, and some have not yet been questioned, the final total is still difficult to estimate."

His voice betrayed an undisguised anger:
"The top leader has ordered that the public security system in S Province will investigate these cases and bring all the human traffickers to justice."

After he finished speaking, he stared at Yu Dazhang, his eyes filled with anticipation.

What was originally just one case has been turned into dozens of cases by this fat man in front of me.

Just like the previous finger amputation case, this fat man always seems to be able to uncover something different, and the cases he eventually uncovers are frighteningly large.

Which criminal police officer doesn't have a bit of pride?

Especially since he was appointed as the deputy captain, this in itself is a recognition of his abilities.

But in front of Da Zhang, all of Xu's arrogance vanished, and he couldn't even muster the will to refute a word; all that remained was awe and obedience.

There was no other way; the difference in ability forced him to back down.

"It's a good thing to have big moves."

Yu Dazhang squinted:
"This will deter those human traffickers who are eager to commit crimes."

Both of them knew very well that if things continued to develop this way, there would only be more and more human trafficking cases.

For every bold person, there is a timid one. There are definitely many human traffickers who are still in the observation stage. If they feel that there is an opportunity, they might take the risk.

Those who had committed crimes naturally became the objects of their observation.

"I have already instructed the task force to prioritize compiling the testimonies."

Team Leader Xu nodded in agreement:

"The relevant case information has been reported to the municipal public security bureaus of various cities."

It is foreseeable that criminal police officers across the province will be very busy, and they will compete with each other to do more.

Both are human trafficking cases, but criminal police in other cities can solve them, so why can't you?
This will create competition and pressure between cities in an invisible way.

"Have you found Zhang Jiangke's information?" Yu Dazhang asked with a serious expression.

Knowing the name allows you to access the relevant files.

Of course, there will be cases of duplicate names, but they can filter based on known conditions to find the person who best meets the requirements.

Moreover, there's Xia Bin, the portrait artist, involved.

Based on Zhang Qian's description, a portrait of Zhang Jiangke can be drawn, and then imported into big data for information comparison.

With a two-pronged approach, finding a person is not difficult.

"I found it."

Team Leader Xu's expression was somewhat strange:

“Zhang Jiangke’s identity information is completely true, exactly as Zhang Qian described, and he has a clean record with no criminal record. He looks like an ordinary person.”
