Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 693 Even the most cunning fox can't outsmart a good hunter.

Is Zhang Jiangke already in Songhai?
This sudden news left Captain Hua momentarily stunned, and he almost dropped the phone in his hand.

That's not right.

He said that Zhang Jiangke booked a room in Yanjing three days ago.

Since that's the case, it means that Zhang Jiangke hasn't checked out yet.

How did he determine that Zhang Jiangke was in Songhai?

Where is the logic?

Brother, I can't keep up with your pace when you chat like this... Team Leader Hua wanted to ask a few questions, but he held back.

As a criminal investigator with over ten years of experience, who has worked his way up step by step, it was truly embarrassing for him to have to ask a newcomer for advice on how to handle cases.

Seeing the silence on the other end, Yu Dazhang immediately guessed what he was thinking.

So before Hua could even ask, he took the initiative to explain:

"Given that the hotel booking record was intentionally created by Zhang Jiangke, he certainly wouldn't have checked out in person after booking the room."

“Otherwise, the trap would be pointless; the police could have arrested him as he checked out.”

He paused briefly, then continued:

"If he can think of setting a trap, he must have thought of this aspect as well."

"Moreover, you don't need to check out in person; you can just take your room key to the front desk."

"Therefore, the safest thing for Zhang Jiangke to do is to book a hotel room in Yanjing and then immediately head to Songhai."

Yu Dazhang's speaking speed gradually increased:

"In this way, he can create a misleading message, making the police mistakenly believe that he is still in Yanjing, thereby misleading the direction of the police investigation."

"At the same time, this also ensures that he is always in a safe state."

After the explanation, the other end went completely silent.

Yu Dazhang couldn't even hear the breathing of the person on the other end anymore.

At this moment, the Chinese team's brain was working at high speed.
He understood it.

only……

Will it be so?
Can a human trafficker be this cunning?

Not only did they set a trap for the police, but they also misled the police investigation by using misplaced information.
No, that's not the worst part.

What's frightening is that the fat man on the other end of the phone actually deduced all of this.

Even the most cunning fox can't outsmart a good hunter... This thought inexplicably popped into Hua's mind.

Among the people he knew, there seemed to be very few who could become good hunters.

"That……"

Team leader Hua asked carefully:

What should we do next?

I can't not ask now.

After a mental workout, he felt his brain wasn't working properly. It wasn't that he wasn't quick-witted enough, but rather that it depended on who he was comparing himself to.

Team Leader Hua had to admit that when working on cases with Yu Dazhang, using his brain was the most unnecessary thing to do.

Furthermore, he couldn't figure out how the police should track Zhang Jiangke down under these circumstances.

"Go and investigate those small hotels that don't require ID cards."

Yu Dazhang took a deep breath and said:
“Zhang Jiangke has experienced hardship at his age and is very enterprising; otherwise, he wouldn’t have settled down in Myanmar.”

"So he is very adaptable, and even harsh living conditions are nothing to him."

He paused, then continued his analysis:
"As a result, those illegal hotels that do not require ID cards became his first choice."

“You can tell from his past hotel records that he is someone who likes to hit one hotel and then move on to another; he rarely stays in the same hotel twice.”

“And those small hotels could just meet his requirements.”

Yu Dazhang's voice grew increasingly firm:
"Moreover, he was confident that the police wouldn't see through his plan, and as long as we didn't fall into his trap, he wouldn't run away easily." These were the deductions he had made before calling Captain Hua.

He couldn't control things in Yanjing, but he could make it look real by having the Chaoyang District police stake out the hotel.

Why not tell Captain Xu about these things?
Tell him that Zhang Jiangke will not appear at the hotel in Yanjing, and that even if he waits for him, it will be in vain.

As the saying goes: when you're out and about, you should always be careful.

All of these are currently Yu Dazhang's inferences, and there is no actual evidence.

To put it bluntly, these inferences are subject to variables and uncertainties. No matter how confident Yu Dazhang is, they are still just guesses in the eyes of outsiders.

This raises the issue of responsibility.

If Yanjing is not on guard, and Zhang Jiangke shows up there, then all the responsibility will fall on Yu Dazhang's shoulders.

Even if Zhang Jiangke didn't appear in Yanjing, in the eyes of others, Yu Dazhang's unguarded behavior was still a loophole.

Therefore, a qualified criminal police officer must first learn to protect himself.

Whether it's useful or not, let's get it arranged first.

In this way, no matter what happens in Yanjing, Yu Dazhang will not be held responsible, and others will even think that he is meticulous in his work.

"I'll set off with my men in a bit," Hua replied.

Actually, there are many of these small hotels in Songhai.

The main reason is that they lack qualifications and licenses, and their main customers are those who cannot provide proof of identity.

After ending the call, Yu Dazhang called the Criminal Investigation Department of Songhai and made it clear that he would fully cooperate with Captain Hua's work.

His current role is the head of the special task force in Songhai, which gives him considerable influence.

We arrived at the observation room.

Yu Dazhang sat down in front of the computer and looked at the suspect on the surveillance screen.

He was a young man in his early thirties, and the only person who suffered only minor injuries during the operation at the bathhouse.

"How's the interrogation going?" Yu Dazhang asked the police officer standing to the side.

"It went fairly smoothly," the officer replied.

"At least so far, he has answered all questions, but his knowledge is very limited, and what he has given has not helped the case."

As he spoke, he took out an iPad, demonstrated it for a while, and then handed it over.

After taking it, Yu Dazhang quickly browsed through the contents.

Skipping the initial procedural questions, he went straight to the following conversation.

As the officer said, the young man knew very little.

He was sentenced to three years in prison for assault.

After his release from prison, he was introduced by a fellow inmate to work as a security guard at this bathhouse.

They call themselves security personnel, but in reality, they are responsible for guarding these trafficked women.

Two people are responsible for looking after a private room, and they work in shifts. Their monthly salary is 15,000 yuan, with bonuses calculated separately. On average, they can take home at least 20,000 yuan per month.

According to the young man, he came to the bathhouse last November.

At first, no women were sent here.

Until mid-December, more and more trafficked women began to be brought here, and the frequency of these visits increased.

But most of them came one by one, and later they were sent here in batches.

Since last month, the number of people being sent to the bathhouse has surged, to the point that the nine private rooms on the fifth floor have been full multiple times.

Upon seeing this, Yu Dazhang stopped.

Full capacity?
As he looked at the words, an idea suddenly popped into his head.

This nationwide acquisition...

It's time to stop.
