Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 722 Yanjing and Songhai

A moment later, Yu Dazhang looked up at Captain Xu:
"Has the medical service institution where Gu Dingwen works been investigated?"

Legitimate medical institutions usually disclose their relevant information to the public.

This publicly available information includes not only basic information about the medical institutions, but also the personal information of each doctor, for patients and their families to choose from and refer to.

Take top-tier hospitals in China as an example.

When searching for a hospital online, you can not only learn about the various departments of the hospital, but also see which doctors are in each department, as well as their resumes, professional expertise, and other detailed information.

For example, I did my research online before I went for my surgery.

"Checked."

Team Leader Xu nodded in agreement:

"That medical service institution is legitimate, well-known, and has a good reputation. So far, there are no problems."

No problem? This answer was unexpected for Yu Dazhang.

Gu Dingwen has no relatives or friends abroad. Besides that medical institution, who else can help him?

wrong.

Yu Dazhang suddenly realized that he had been making some assumptions.

Although Gu Dingwen is a suspect, it does not mean that everyone and everything he comes into contact with is a suspect.

We cannot generalize and condemn all people based on a single example.

It's not uncommon for a legitimate organization to have one or two bad people, but that doesn't mean the whole organization is problematic.

Perhaps someone had their eye on that medical service organization, looking for a suitable candidate there, and ended up choosing Gu Dingwen.

This is the most logical assumption in Yu Dazhang's opinion.

There is another possibility...

The medical institution's invitation to Gu Dingwen to work there was probably a pre-arranged scheme.

Money may not be everything, but it is certainly the most tempting thing.

If someone donates to that medical institution, they can propose certain conditions when the donation amount reaches a certain threshold.

This includes arranging for someone to work at that organization.

This explains why Gu Dingwen was invited to work there.

Perhaps someone with influence took a liking to Gu Dingwen and wanted to get him into that medical institution through this method to achieve some other purpose.

Of course, this is just a possibility that Yu Dazhang derived based on various assumptions and inferences, and there is currently a lack of actual evidence to support it.

Read on.

The second page records Gu Dingwen's spending records in China.

The earliest record is from November of last year, when Gu Dingwen booked a room at a four-star hotel in Yanjing.

Subsequent ticket purchase information shows that he traveled between Yanjing and Songhai multiple times.

Why does it look so familiar?

Yu Dazhang suddenly felt that he had seen the document in front of him somewhere before.

Soon, he remembered that Zhang Jiangke's itinerary was the same. Apart from visiting Nanjing once, he also traveled between Yanjing and Songhai.

Did Zhang Jiangke lie?

He remembered clearly that Zhang Jiangke said that after Lao Gu arrived in China, he was unable to contact him proactively.

But the two people's itineraries seemed intertwined, as if they were traveling together.

"Bring over Zhang Jiangke's investigation materials," Yu Dazhang ordered.

A short while later, a police officer placed a document in front of him.

After opening the document, Yu Dazhang quickly flipped through the pages and found the section recording Zhang Jiangke's hotel booking records. Looking at the time, he quickly noticed something different.

Although both of them traveled between Yanjing and Songhai, the time they bought their tickets and the train numbers were completely different.

Zhang Jiangke wasn't lying; he genuinely didn't know Gu Dingwen's whereabouts.

Furthermore, he had no way of investigating Gu Dingwen's ticket purchase information. So here's the problem.

Why did Gu Dingwen travel back and forth between these two cities?

His and Zhang Jiangke's goals are definitely different, because they are not in the same industry.

If we analyze this from the perspective of surrogacy...

Yu Dazhang's gaze then fell on Gu Dingwen's information.

Surrogacy also requires a location, and this place cannot be too remote.

This is a business open to the public, so we need to take into account the actual needs of our customers.

Setting up surrogacy in a top-tier city naturally makes clients feel more at ease.

Moreover, these two cities are geographically located in the south and north, so as long as surrogacy centers are set up in these two cities, customers all over the country can be served.

Zhang Jiangke traveled between these two places to make acquisitions nationwide, just as Gu Dingwen's customer base also came from all over the country.

On this point, the two men share the same idea.

"Da Zhang, should we call a meeting?"

Team Leader Xu suddenly suggested from the side:

"Now that there are new developments in the case, we should all discuss the next steps."

He felt a little sorry for Yu Dazhang, who was frowning and deep in thought all by himself.

There are so many people in the task force, and they are all experienced veteran criminal police officers. We can't just leave him to figure it out by himself.

"also."

Yu Dazhang snapped out of his daze and nodded in response:

"See you in the conference room in a bit."

Gu Dingwen's information had just arrived in his hands that morning, and then a high-ranking leader came to hold a meeting. The time was too rushed, so he could only make a preliminary deduction.

In situations like this, the best approach is to discuss the matter with everyone and brainstorm together.

Everyone has their own unique perspective and way of thinking. Through joint discussion, we can analyze the case from multiple angles.

In the conference room.

Yu Dazhang walked to the head seat and sat down, looking at everyone present, and asked:

"Has everyone seen Gu Dingwen's information?"

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

"Well."

Yu Dazhang glanced around and then said:

"Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts on this person or their suggestions for the next steps in the case."

Although he had made a preliminary deduction and believed that Gu Dingwen was very likely to be a surrogate, he could not express his opinion right away.

This could lead people to believe that they have to follow his line of thinking, which would render the meeting meaningless.

Yu Dazhang agreed to hold the meeting because he wanted to hear different opinions.

After he said that, the meeting room fell silent, and even Captain Xu didn't respond.

Everyone present had a serious expression and seemed very solemn.

As soon as the first person lit a cigarette, everyone else took out theirs, and soon the meeting room was filled with smoke and a pungent smell.

Maybe I should continue smoking... Yu Dazhang heard that secondhand smoke is even worse for your health.

However, the nature of my job makes it impossible to avoid secondhand smoke.

Especially when discussing cases, if these detectives are not allowed to smoke, they simply cannot concentrate.

Just as Da Zhang was hesitating whether to light one up too, one of the officers raised his hand and said:

"I don't think Gu Dingwen is capable of committing such a major crime."
