Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 708 He only had this one relative left.
I suspect he's swearing... Yu Dazhang felt that Zhou Jiacheng's gaze was unfriendly, seemingly mocking.

So what if I've never been to a daily rental apartment?

Must we spend our precious youth in short-term rental apartments?
Furthermore, he said he was studying at a police academy and would resist all unhealthy tendencies.

Well, there are many cozy short-term rentals near the police academy, but Yu Dazhang has never been to any of them.

In his past life, he was a somewhat rigid person.

In this life, he was kidnapped and had no chance to fall in love.

Furthermore, the average male-to-female ratio at police academies is seven to three, making the competition far too fierce compared to other universities.

"Give me the address of the rental apartment."

Yu Dazhang's tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable firmness:
"Also, tell me the password for the smart lock. You can change it again after the case is closed."

He is now basically certain that the rented house is one of Zhang Jiangke's places of residence.

the reason is simple.

Zhang Jiangke knew not only the address of the rental house but also the password to the smart lock. Most importantly, the rental house had been unoccupied for a long time.

For Zhang Jiangke, that old fox, there was no better hiding place than here.

In addition, there is another crucial factor that cannot be ignored.

It is highly likely that Zhang Jiangke will meet with Zhou Jiacheng one last time before leaving, and even if they do not meet, he will leave him a sum of money.

That rented room happened to be the perfect place to hide money.

Zhang Jiangke could have hidden the money in the rented room first, and then told Zhou Jiacheng to retrieve it after he safely returned to Myanmar.

"Building 17, No. 32, Gulou Residential Area".

Zhou Jiacheng answered without hesitation:
"The password is the last six digits of my birthday."

After writing down this information, Yu Dazhang stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

"Are you spending the night in your rented apartment?" he asked Zhou Jiacheng.

"No overnight stays," Zhou Jiacheng waved his hand and replied.

“We’ll have dinner there, rest for a while, and then go back to school. If you’re going, we won’t come.”

It's clear he's afraid Yu Dazhang and his group will monitor the rental house.

If that were the case, he would be too embarrassed to go to the rented room, since no one wants to be watched while sparring.

"Just go as usual."

Fearing he might overthink it, Yu Dazhang said in a gentle tone:
"Don't worry, we won't come into the house while you're here, and we certainly won't disturb you. Enjoy your time together in peace."

After saying that, he waved to Zhou Jiacheng and then left the dormitory.

Back in the car, Captain Xu answered a phone call, then said to Da Zhang:
"Zhang Jiangke's last login to his email address was the morning before yesterday, and the address was in Qingpu District, Songhai."

"The time and place are both fine..." Yu Dazhang thought for a moment, nodded, and then gave the instructions:
"Have the technical department refresh the status information of this email every half hour, and report any changes immediately."

The reason for checking the login time and IP address of an email account is to verify the authenticity of the email address.

Based on the information currently available, Zhang Jiangke was indeed in Songhai the day before yesterday morning. These two points corroborate each other, which basically confirms that the email address is not fake.

On the way to the rented room.

"Zhang Jiangke should have a backup identity."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Captain Xu said:

“Since the beginning of this year, there has been no information about his ticket purchases or travel, but judging from the hotel check-in records, he is still traveling between Yanjing and Songhai, which means that he also uses another identity to purchase tickets and travel.”

Can a person have two ID cards?
Of course not.

However, one can obtain another identity by forging, altering, or impersonating another person's documents.

Finding the right people and being willing to spend money isn't difficult.

People like Zhang Jiangke will definitely try to acquire multiple identities for themselves, as these can be life-saving in critical moments.

Can't I drive myself between the two places?

No use.

You'll still get checked for your ID and driver's license on the street, and the checks will be much more thorough, so it's better to just buy a ticket and take public transportation. Those movies where people drive straight to foreign countries are pure nonsense.

"It's inevitable."

Yu Dazhang sat in the back seat, looking out the car window at the receding street scene, and sighed.

"This kind of old fox will have at least three identities for himself, and he will immediately switch them once he realizes that he has been exposed."

“Usually at this point, he would also be preparing to flee.”

He came to Nanjing to gamble on Zhang Jiangke's humanity.

If Zhang Jiangke ignores everything and flees back to Myanmar, it will be extremely difficult to catch him.

Blocking airports and ports won't work; we'd have to completely block the entire 2,000-kilometer border to possibly keep him inside the country.

It's impossible to expend so much manpower and resources to catch just one person.

Twenty minutes later.

Gulou Residential Area.

"Tell our people not to drive the car over here."

Yu Dazhang commanded:

"Leave a few people to observe near Building 17, and the rest of you disperse to the perimeter and wait for orders."

No detail can be overlooked.

Zhang Jiangke would definitely have noticed that the vehicles they were driving all had out-of-town license plates.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, the vehicle must never be exposed to Zhang Jiangke's line of sight.

Since we're setting up an ambush, we must leave the enemy a seemingly safe opening so they can slip in without hesitation.

After setting up, Yu Dazhang and his group parked their car in an open-air parking lot about 100 meters away from the residential area.

You can see the main entrance of the community from here, but it's too far away. You can see people, but you can't make out their faces.

This is only relative; for Da Zhang, there is no problem of not being able to see clearly at all.

Ten minutes later, a report came through the walkie-talkie:
"Zhou Jiacheng entered the community through the main gate and headed towards Building 17."

"Here comes the challenge..." Yu Dazhang picked up the walkie-talkie and said quickly:
"Ignore him and continue to observe suspicious individuals within the community."

After putting down the intercom, he leaned back in the back seat, squinted, and looked out the window, his mind racing.

Zhang Jiangke came out of the internet cafe at 11 p.m. last night.

The risk of fleeing to another place in the middle of the night is too great, and it is also during the police blockade period. He would not do something reckless in a panic.

Therefore, he must have a backup plan to evade police investigation.

As long as you wait until morning, when the morning rush hour arrives, the police blockade will naturally be lifted, and then it will be safest to escape to another place.

Although the police cannot block the entire China-Myanmar border, they can set up ambushes along the nearby border.

Zhang Jiangke must have thought of this, so even if he wanted to escape back to Myanmar, he wouldn't cross the border here because he felt guilty.

That leaves him with only two choices.

1. Hide and wait for the storm to pass.

Running around at this time would be the most foolish thing to do.

Find a place to hide and wait for the police to relax their vigilance before escaping back to Myanmar via the nearby border. Although this takes time, it is the safest approach.

2. They risked continuing their escape south.

If they escape to the south, the success rate of smuggling themselves into Myanmar will increase significantly.

There are human smugglers who specialize in sending people to Myanmar, and this period is also the time when illegal immigration is most rampant.

Regardless of which method Zhang Jiangke chooses, he will visit Zhou Jiacheng before leaving.

He will probably consult Zhou Jiacheng to see if he is willing to go with him, since Zhou is his only family member.

Therefore, he will definitely come!
