Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 730 How many more days can you hold out?
If there is a hidden camera inside the house, even if it is not visible to the naked eye, you can see a flashing red dot when you turn on your phone's video.

While not all cameras can detect it, the vast majority of cameras cannot escape this trick.

Yu Dazhang didn't want anything to go wrong at this stage.

He wasn't checking the room because he suspected the hotel had tampered with it; in fact, many of those hidden cameras are placed by hotel guests.

Some people even make a living from this, specifically by filming indecent content and then selling it to a website for profit.

Two police officers were assigned to guard the room before Yu Dazhang and Captain Hua left.

"I booked two more rooms, right next to this one."

Team Hua produced two more room cards:
"One double room and one triple room can be used as our rest area."

"He's really reliable..." Yu Dazhang nodded in satisfaction.

Zhang Jiangke could sleep peacefully, but the police officers guarding him could not relax for a moment, so they had to take turns on duty.

Furthermore, to prevent the officers on duty from becoming too fatigued, at least three shifts should be arranged.

After discussing it, the three decided to arrange for a shift of police officers to guard the area during the day.

After 10 p.m., the body's biological clock tends to cause drowsiness, so it is necessary to rotate the staff on duty more frequently.

A shift change is conducted every two hours to ensure that the staff on duty remain alert at all times.

Over the next few days, a nationwide operation was launched to apprehend human traffickers.

That's often how it is; once you catch one person, a whole bunch of others will come out.

This time, in particular, Yu Dazhang's group caught seasoned human traffickers, whose extensive networks alone would keep criminal police officers across the country busy.

Even Songhai was not idle. Lü Zhongxin even called Yu Dazhang to ask when he could return to the team.

It is evident that a large team also participated in this arrest operation.

Yu Dazhang naturally couldn't go back; he had more important things to do.

They have been working in shifts for the past few days, and Yu Dazhang himself has been staying at the hotel the whole time, never leaving its side.

However, he wasn't just waiting idly.

During this period, he obtained a lot of key information through continuous interrogation of Zhang Jiangke.

Almost every day, seasoned human traffickers come under the police's scrutiny.

It's important to know that Zhang Jiangke is no ordinary human trafficker.

The worst people he came into contact with were secondhand dealers like Zhang Qian.

Those low-level henchmen who personally participated in trafficking were simply not worth his attention.

The fifth day of my stay at the hotel.

The members of the task force were gradually becoming agitated.

Even Captain Xu and Captain Hua are no exception; these two have started sighing from time to time.

"If they keep arresting people like this, Gu Dingwen definitely won't dare to show his face."

In the next room, Captain Xu complained to Da Zhang:

"Waiting like this isn't a solution; they might have already fled abroad."

His concerns were not unfounded, after all, Gu Dingwen met Zhang Jiangke in Myanmar, which meant that he also had certain connections and networks in Myanmar.

It is not difficult to escape to Myanmar.

As long as you have connections and are willing to spend the money, there will be people who will help you smuggle yourself across the border.

One of the most important reasons why telecom fraud is so rampant in northern Myanmar is that it is relatively easy to smuggle people across the border.

"Do you have any other ideas?" Yu Dazhang countered. This left Captain Xu speechless.

He could understand how Captain Xu and the others felt, but at this moment, the leader had to remain calm, otherwise it would inevitably shake the morale of the team.

Compared to them, Yu Dazhang appeared quite calm.

Since there is only one path ahead, and we have done everything we could, the rest is up to us to do our best and leave the rest to fate.

"Having made such a big show of it, do you think they'll back down so easily?"

Yu Dazhang looked at Captain Xu and said:

“I always felt that this matter was not so simple. If their goal was only money, they could have taken a more covert and gradual approach to carry out their plan.”

"Instead of making such a big fuss about acquiring so many women of marriageable age."

He paused for a moment, then continued his analysis:

"And have you noticed that most of the raided dens were fully staffed, except for a few that had moved their people out beforehand?"

"This shows that they are not that short of people, but they have not stopped the acquisitions."

This is indeed a problem.

The fact that the warehouse was already full, yet the other party didn't stop, is puzzling.

Upon hearing this, both Captain Xu and Captain Hua fell into deep thought.

Soon, the two lit cigarettes and pondered with furrowed brows as they smoked.

After a while, Captain Xu raised his head and said:

"You mean the other party will need more people in the future, which is why they haven't stopped the acquisition. Based on this, Gu Dingwen will definitely contact Zhang Jiangke again."

"Because in the country, he only knew one human trafficker, Zhang Jiangke."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Team Hua chimed in:
“That’s right. Gu Dingwen is not capable of finding women of marriageable age, even if he is rich. Professional matters should be handled by professionals.”

Although it doesn't sound right to call human trafficking "professional," he did manage to explain things clearly.

"Yes, that's exactly what you're thinking." Yu Dazhang nodded:
"However, there is also the possibility of miscalculation. The longer it drags on, the greater the possibility of miscalculation."

They had been waiting at the hotel for five days. Although they had gained something from interrogating Zhang Jiangke every day, they couldn't keep waiting like this indefinitely.

"How many more days can you hold out?" Yu Dazhang asked, frowning.

The pressure will only increase, and when the higher-ups ask, someone will have to take the blame.

Although Yu Dazhang is now in charge of handling cases, his rank is still what it is, so in the end, it will be these two deputy chiefs who have to take the fall.

"I'm fine with it," Captain Xu immediately replied.
“I managed to hold on for more than half a month when the clues went cold, so there’s no need to worry about anything else now. As long as you have a clear understanding of the situation, you don’t need to worry about anything else.”

Team Hua nodded and said:
"You don't need to worry about me at all. The leaders know that I'm working on the case with you, and they've already made it clear that any resources will be prioritized for us."

Then there's no problem... Yu Dazhang isn't under much pressure.

The seven missing young women in Songhai have been rescued, and the Criminal Investigation Department has expressed its full support for him. Even if Gu Dingwen is not caught in the end, he will not have to bear any responsibility.

"Then let's keep waiting."

Yu Dazhang seemed very confident:

"It should be soon. This time, they've swept through almost all the human traffickers in the country. Once things calm down a bit, Gu Dingwen will definitely resurface."

His words sounded somewhat casual, but the two deputy captains couldn't help but curl their lips into a slight smirk.

He said that all the human traffickers in the country had been swept away, and it sounded like child's play when he said it.
