Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 699 Not necessarily a confidante, but definitely a soulmate
"You haven't repaid my favor yet..." Yu Dazhang muttered to himself.

He knew that Li Mingzhao was trying to bring them closer.

What is social etiquette?

If someone does you a favor, you treat them to a meal to express your gratitude.

Trying to use this to offset favors would be the most foolish thing to do.

A favor only has value when it is owed.

This way, both sides can maintain contact.

Once the favor has been repaid, the relationship between the two parties will naturally fade.

Therefore, a common phrase heard at dinner parties is: "I'll remember this favor, I'll owe it to you for now, and I'll definitely repay it when I have the chance."

You should treat them to a meal, but you should also emphasize that it's not for repaying a favor.

Ultimately, whether it's treating someone to a meal or owing them a favor, it's all about maintaining the relationship.

Within the system, if you can't even understand this, you're likely to be eliminated.

Yu Dazhang didn't expect to survive by relying on personal connections, but there were some things he still needed to be aware of.

"I remember your favor, and Team Leader Li's favor."

He said seriously:

"If you ever need my help in the future, I will do my best to assist you."

Yu Dazhang's words seemed sincere, but he was actually leaving himself a way out.

Another meaning of "doing my best to help" is: this favor cannot be beyond my capabilities.

Ye Lin understood the underlying meaning in his words, but she didn't dwell on it. Instead, she changed the subject:
"I'll send you a document later with detailed information about those four people. You know the rules, don't share it."

Investigating individuals whose identities are classified at the national level in private is not exactly illegal, but it is certainly not permitted. Yu Dazhang is not stupid and naturally understands this.

"Don't worry, I'll delete the information immediately after I've reviewed it; I won't keep it."

With his memory, memorizing information about several people is quite easy, and storing such information on a mobile phone is itself a potential problem.

“And another thing,” Ye Lin said seriously.

"Team Leader Li asked me to ask you whether you need us to intervene in the investigation. As you know, there are many things that are easier for us to investigate."

She spoke tactfully, but Yu Dazhang sensed something else in her words; she was implying something.

The fact that Li Mingzhao offered to help with the investigation shows that the National Security Bureau realized this was no ordinary case; Li Mingzhao wouldn't have been interested in getting involved in a minor one.

Moreover, given that so many top figures in the medical field are involved, it is indeed necessary to treat this matter with caution from a national security perspective.

Ye Lin was telling him that this matter was of great importance and that the National Security Bureau had already begun to take notice.

"This matter cannot be considered a case yet."

Yu Dazhang politely declined:

"No one reported it, the police didn't file a case, and even I, the victim, only just remembered it."

So, let's wait a bit.

His tone was filled with helplessness and pleading:
"Once I have figured out the whole story, I will report it according to procedure. If it involves national security, I will definitely notify you immediately."

He was actually struggling internally.

They wanted help, but didn't want to involve national security in the matter.

If things really escalate, he will find it difficult to remain uninvolved.

His only successful experiment was equally important to the country's research team.

If a group of experts and professors came and advised him to sacrifice his family for the greater good, to benefit the country and its people, that would be the most painful thing.

What choice should he make then?

Either they are willing to become guinea pigs.

Either become an unenlightened, selfish coward.

Neither of them was what he wanted to choose.

Compared to actual kidnapping, moral kidnapping can sometimes be more disheartening.

Therefore, he did not want the National Security Bureau to get involved.

Even if official intervention is ultimately required, he hopes the police will be in charge so that he can remain unscathed.

After all, the police investigate cases, unlike the national security agencies which investigate every aspect.

"Okay, you can decide for now."

Ye Lin's tone lightened somewhat:

"If one day you need the National Security Bureau's help but don't want them to get involved, I suggest you contact me privately. I will help you in a personal capacity and promise to keep it confidential."

Yu Dazhang hadn't expected her to say those words.

That last sentence meant that she was willing to take the risks for Yu Dazhang.

This is an immense favor.

Yu Dazhang didn't even need to do anything; just by saying it, he had already incurred this favor.

Thanks in advance.

Yu Dazhang said gratefully:
"If I need it, I will definitely ask you for help."

What's truly commendable is that Ye Lin knew what he was worried about, which is why she said something like "promise to keep it a secret".

For Da Zhang, Ye Lin may not be a confidante, but she is definitely a soulmate.

After ending the call, he immediately opened the messaging app and waited for Ye Lin to send him the document.

Soon, a text message arrived, and after opening it, he immediately began reading its contents.

Zhou Wenkang, Chief Physician of Neurosurgery, graduated from Fudan University with a degree in Clinical Medicine and received his MD in 2000. He has published over 40 academic papers both domestically and internationally…

It took Yu Dazhang more than half an hour just to read through the information of these four people.

First, he observed very carefully.

Secondly, the information about these four people is indeed somewhat complicated.

Titles, honors, professional titles, and positions—everyone carries a variety of labels.

This is the difference between talented people and ordinary people.

For an average office worker, the information is so simple that they can understand it at a glance.

The stronger one's abilities, the more complex their resume and background become.

The scene right before our eyes is a living example.

After reviewing the information, Yu Dazhang lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to think about his next steps.

The person has been identified. To proceed further, there are essentially two directions:

1. Find these four people in the information.

Ask them for the truth.

2. Find Ye Zhiyu to continue recovering his memories.

The process of recovering my memories last time was interrupted; if it continues, I will definitely recall more things.

However, the method of recovering memories is undoubtedly a poor choice.

Even if all the memories are recovered, the vast majority will be painful experiences, and the person may even become depressed.

Moreover, the truth of the matter cannot be known through the memories that are trapped within.

At most, I can only recall certain people and events, and then delve deeper into those details.

Why isn't a case being opened for investigation?

Yu Dazhang himself is a policeman, so he is very clear that there are standards for filing a case.

First, there must be facts of a crime, and there must be certain supporting evidence.

He has only found the four people, but there is no evidence to prove that they imprisoned him.

Moreover, they are all influential figures in the medical field, and no one would believe that they would conspire to imprison a mere policeman.

If this gets out, it will only be laughed at.

"We'll have to resort to undercover investigations."

Yu Dazhang opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

Now that we've found out their identities, the most direct and effective way is to find them and ask them directly to get to the bottom of things.

There must be some inside story he doesn't know about.

What he most wanted to know was how these people, whom he couldn't hire even with money, managed to come together.

Before he knew it, his eyes grew heavy, and he fell asleep.

After a long day, he was exhausted and, coupled with mental strain, drowsiness overcame him, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Dazhang was woken up by his cell phone ringing.

In a daze, he reached for his phone on the bedside table. When he saw that the caller ID showed it was Hua Dui, he immediately sat up in bed.

"Caught it?"
