Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 697 Comparing people can really be infuriating!
"Do you think Zhang Jiangke is in Qingpu District?"

Team leader Hua realized that Yu Dazhang was waiting for this time of night.

It's 9:30 PM now.

This is also the time when people are about to rest.

Zhang Jiangke, being 61 years old, is unlikely to stay up late and is probably already resting at this time.

As people age, their biological clock shifts forward, which is a normal physiological change.

Medically, this is called circadian rhythm variation, also known as "age-related premature sleep rhythm".

To put it simply, it means getting sleepy early and waking up early.

Many young people have this idea: when I get old, I'll sleep in every day, sleep as much as I want, sleep until I die.

But when you actually get old, you'll find that you wake up earlier than the chickens every day and can't fall asleep at all.

"It's not just Qingpu District."

Yu Dazhang replied:

"Based on Zhang Jiangke's past hotel booking patterns, the most likely places for him to stay are Hongkou and Qingpu districts."

“He has hotel records in almost all sixteen districts of the city, except for these two districts.”

He then explained:
“Some habits are hard to break once they’re formed, so I was certain he would stay in hotels in those two districts this time.”

"You've finished checking all the small hotels in Hongkou District during the day, now only Qingpu District is left."

"And this period of time is the perfect opportunity for us to take him down in one fell swoop."

Yu Dazhang didn't believe that Zhang Jiangke, that old fox, could withstand his biological clock.

So as long as he's in Qingpu District, we'll definitely be able to find him tonight.

The reason given for cracking down on prostitution can also minimize the other party's vigilance.

Do you know why anti-prostitution operations are always carried out at night?
Yes, it's what you think.

Because nighttime is a peak time for prostitution, it involves human nature.

"I understand."

The Chinese team responded:

"This is a coordinated operation, giving Zhang Jiangke no time to react."

They conducted covert investigations during the day and launched surprise attacks at night... Only now did Captain Hua understand Yu Dazhang's intentions.

At the same time, he was inevitably somewhat discouraged.

Even though that fat man was far away in S Province, he was still able to command Songhai in an orderly manner, and even calculated every step.

Meanwhile, on his side, he couldn't even figure out his intentions.

Comparing yourself to others can be incredibly frustrating.

At this very moment, in Province S.

Xicheng City Bureau.

Just as Yu Dazhang hung up the phone, Captain Xu walked in with a document in his hand.

"The matter in Jinling has been investigated and clarified."

Team Leader Xu placed the documents on the desk in front of Yu Dazhang:

“Zhang Jiangke did book two rooms, but only he was registered under his real name.”

Yu Dazhang frowned slightly and asked in confusion:
"What about the other room? Who did he book it for?"

He wanted to ask Zhang Jiangke's purpose in booking another room.

Based on his previous deductions, he was certain that Zhang Jiangke had come to Jinling to meet someone, so the other room must have been booked by Zhang Jiangke for someone else.

Team Leader Xu stood beside Yu Dazhang, pointing to the relevant records in the document, and explained:

"He did book the other room for someone else, but that person didn't stay overnight. They were just a visitor, so the hotel didn't register them under their real name."

He paused for a moment, then added:
"However, the hotel's surveillance cameras captured that person's image, and we were able to identify him by reviewing the footage."

This was handled reliably… Upon hearing that the person's identity information had been found, Yu Dazhang immediately picked up the documents on the table.

Zhou Jiacheng, male, 19 years old, is currently studying in the Department of Languages ​​and Literature at Jinling University.

A sophomore? Upon seeing this person's identity information, Yu Dazhang was stunned.

The name sounds auspicious, but this person's identity doesn't seem like someone Zhang Jiangke would want to meet alone.

He originally thought that someone who could be valued so highly by Zhang Jiangke must be a prominent and influential figure.

But Zhou Jiacheng, the man in front of me, is just an ordinary college student.

Even if he attended a good university, it wouldn't make Zhang Jiangke look at him differently.

Could there be some hidden information about Zhou Jiacheng?
With these questions in mind, Yu Dazhang continued reading, and when he came across the section on family background, he couldn't help but frown.

orphan?

According to available information, Zhou Jiacheng's mother is a single mother who has been raising him alone.

But when Zhou Jiacheng was seven years old, his mother passed away due to illness.

He was then taken to a children's welfare home.

Who is Zhou Jiacheng's father?

Yu Dazhang looked up at Captain Xu:
"Why is there absolutely no information about his father?"

Logically, since the child's mother has passed away, the next step should be to find the child's biological father, not to send him directly to a children's welfare home.

After all, the father, as the child's immediate family member, has a responsibility towards the child.

However, this step is not included in this document.

The feeling that Zhou Jiacheng only had his mother as a relative was that of Da Zhang.

This is very strange.

It seems that Zhou Jiacheng's family background lacks the role of a father.

"It's precisely because nobody knows who his father is that there's no relevant information."

Team Leader Xu explained:
"It has been confirmed that Zhou Jiacheng's mother gave birth out of wedlock. After the child was born, he was registered under her household registration and took her surname, Zhou."

"She never told anyone who the child's father was, and what she told the child was that his father died before he was born."

He paused and then said:

"The police officers sent there conducted an in-depth investigation, but still found no information about Zhou Jiacheng's father."

So that's how it is... Yu Dazhang understood.

It was Zhou Jiacheng's mother who concealed all information about his father.

He and Captain Xu exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

First of all, one thing is certain: Zhou Jiacheng's mother's words were a lie.

It's very simple. Even if the child's father dies, he will still leave behind relevant identification information, such as his name, age, and work experience. These basic details will definitely be there.

The current situation is that there is no such person as Zhou Jiacheng's father.

This shows that his mother didn't want the child to have any connection with his biological father at all.

Even on her deathbed, she didn't tell her children anything, which shows her determination.

Is it possible that Zhang Jiangke is Zhou Jiacheng's father?

Captain Xu had long suspected this, but he lacked concrete evidence and had no way to verify it.

"Probably."

Yu Dazhang nodded and replied:
"At present, only this hypothesis can explain why Zhang Jiangke would meet with such a sophomore."

These two people seemed to have no connection at all, but they suddenly met at a hotel in Jinling, and Zhang Jiangke even booked two rooms for them.

It's so abnormal.

Zhang Jiangke probably didn't expect the police to investigate so thoroughly, still managing to identify Zhou Jiacheng through surveillance even without his real name being registered.

"Continue the investigation."

Yu Dazhang thought for a moment and said to Captain Xu:

"Tell the police officers over there not to come back yet. Continue to investigate Zhou Jiacheng's mother in Nanjing, including all her experiences before her death. Don't let any small detail slip by."
