Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 694 Time is of the essence
The reason is simple: the other party no longer has such a great need for it.

The bathhouse was just a hideout for the Tibetans.

To put it bluntly, it's just a warehouse for storing people.

When the other party needs someone, they will come to this warehouse to pick up as many people as they need.

Since mid-December last year, this warehouse has been in a state of supply shortage.

Until last month, the warehouse was full.

According to Yu Dazhang, the reasons for its full capacity are nothing more than two points:
1. Increased acquisition volume.

This nationwide acquisition, after several months of fermentation, spread wider and wider within human trafficking circles, and the number of people involved increased.

This has led to a surge in the number of trafficked women.

2. Demand has temporarily reached saturation.

Initially, the other party offered an exorbitant price to acquire women because they were in urgent need of them, but as the supply of women continued, their demand gradually decreased.

It has now reached a relatively saturated state.

Only when both of these conditions occur simultaneously will the bathhouse, which serves as a haven for Tibetans, be full.

Nationwide, there are definitely more than just one warehouse in Wuxi.

Once all the warehouses are full, the acquisitions will naturally stop.

Zhang Jiangke and his gang weren't stupid. As the number of abducted people increased, the police would pay more and more attention, and at that point, they wouldn't be able to stop even if they wanted to.

From now on, time is of the essence!

It was only then that Yu Dazhang realized that the case was actually nearing its end.

Both the acquiring party and Zhangjiang Technology are prepared to back out.

Staring at the young man on the monitor, Yu Dazhang hesitated for a moment, then stood up and left the observation room.

Upon arriving at the interrogation room, he pushed open the door and nodded to the police officer who was conducting the interrogation.

The officer understood and stood up to give up his seat.

Yu Dazhang didn't stand on ceremony; after sitting down, he got straight to the point:

Where were those trafficked women sent?

He knew the other person couldn't answer the question, but he still had to ask it again.

Even if the other party doesn't know, they will provide some relevant explanations or clues.

"My job at the bathhouse was just to keep an eye on them; I really don't know where they went next."

The young man looked somewhat dejected.
"And every time they leave, they are picked up by a car; the bathhouse has never offered to take them away."

This was roughly in line with Yu Dazhang's expectations.

Picking someone up is definitely a safer option than dropping them off.

This way, even if the bathhouse is raided by the police, the trail will be cut off, because the people working at the bathhouse won't know where the next stop will be.

But...

As long as there is a connection between the two, traces will inevitably be left.

"Do you remember the last time you picked someone up?" Yu Dazhang asked.

The young man opposite thought for a moment, then replied:
"The most recent time was four days ago, when four cars came and picked up twenty people."

"Of the women who were picked up at that time, I was responsible for looking after ten of them. I escorted them all the way downstairs."

He paused for a moment, then added:
"By the way, every time the other party comes to pick someone up, they get on the bus at the back door of the bathhouse. There are no surveillance cameras there, and since it's not a main road, there are very few vehicles and pedestrians on the road."

Yu Dazhang asked this question in order to shorten the time required to check the surveillance footage.

Now it's great, we don't even need to check the surveillance footage.

There were no security cameras installed at the back door, probably to prevent leaving clues for the police. "Did you remember the license plate number?" Yu Dazhang asked again.

"No." The young man shook his head expressionlessly.

"I only remember that three minivans and one car came. I only glanced at the license plates and didn't remember them at all."

That's normal... Yu Dazhang understands this.

When ordinary people see an unfamiliar vehicle, they first pay attention to the model and appearance, and usually do not pay special attention to relatively detailed information such as the license plate.

Unless the license plate is a very special, eye-catching consecutive number, it is difficult to leave a lasting impression.

"When you picked them up, how many people came from the other side?"

When it comes to topics about people, Yu Dazhang goes into much more detail.

"I can't remember the exact number," the young man said, looking somewhat helpless.

“They always come to pick people up after dark, and they always give advance notice. They stay for a very short time, and they leave immediately after the person gets in the car.”

He frowned slightly, as if trying to recall the relevant details:

"Last time, there were about eight or nine people, including a few familiar faces."

"After all, we've met a few times, so I still have some impression of some of them."

That's wonderful... Yu Dazhang was overjoyed.

What he feared most was that the young man had never even seen the other person's face; if that were the case, he would be of no value whatsoever.

"So you mean you've memorized the faces of some of them?" Yu Dazhang confirmed.

The young man nodded:
"I remember two people very clearly. They offered me cigarettes and greeted me every time we met. There were also two other people who came often, but we didn't interact much, though I still have a general impression of them."

This is enough!

For Da Zhang, the fact that the young man could remember the faces of four people was an unexpected bonus.

Even if he doesn't remember clearly, it doesn't matter. With Ye Zhiyu here, he'll definitely be able to remember those four faces completely.

Then Xia Bin was asked to draw the portraits himself, and then big data was used to find out the identities of the four people.

Yu Dazhang once again had the idea of ​​poaching Xia Bin to Songhai.

Having a talented forensic sketch artist by your side can really save you a lot of trouble; it's like taking a shortcut.

Unfortunately, he's just an ordinary criminal police officer now. Let alone poaching others, he himself is the target of poaching.

After leaving the interrogation room, Yu Dazhang immediately arranged for Xia Bin to draw a portrait.

To improve the accuracy of the reproduction, he called Ye Zhiyu over to work with Xia Bin to complete the drawing.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Yu Dazhang was in his office listening to Captain Xu's report:
"The Chaoyang police have assigned personnel to stake out the area. They were already in place by noon. If they spot Zhang Jiangke, they will contact me immediately."

"In addition, the team sent to Nanjing has arrived and is currently investigating. I think we should have results soon."

After listening, Yu Dazhang nodded in satisfaction.

When it comes to executing orders, Captain Xu is absolutely top-notch; he is not only highly efficient but also has strong execution capabilities.

"Four portraits will be delivered shortly."

Yu Dazhang said in a commanding tone:
"Take the portrait and import it into the big data database to find out the identities of those four people as soon as possible."

"Another new clue?" Captain Xu thought he had misheard and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Where did you get the portraits? And who are those four people?"

He was so busy arranging the things Yu Dazhang had instructed that he hadn't had time to look into the interrogation.

"The latest confession," Yu Dazhang explained.
“Those four people came to the bathhouse to pick up the abducted women, and they are the next targets we need to arrest.”
