Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 735 Always Ready!

How crazy can people be for money?
Yu Dazhang didn't have a definite answer to this, but he had seen too many people take risks for money.

Many of them were arrested and ended up being shot.

Therefore, he had no doubt about what Zhang Jiangke said.

If those human traffickers were really offered a million dollars per person, they would do anything.

"What will you say when Gu Dingwen asks you where you got the person?"

Yu Dazhang was still a little worried. It was best to think things through in advance to avoid being caught off guard.

Why should I answer such a question?

Zhang Jiangke stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and said nonchalantly:
"He provides the money, I provide the people. As long as they meet his requirements, does it matter where the people come from?"

"Besides, he knows I won't do it myself. Anyway, I just bought it from someone else. As long as it's the right product, I won't ask about the source, and I believe Lao Gu won't either."

His tone revealed a hint of disdain, as if the question was not worth his time to consider.

He paused for a moment, then became serious again:
"But..."

"Since Lao Gu offered such a high price this time, he might ask for more details."

Zhang Jiangke thought for a moment, then made a suggestion:
"How about this, can I see the people you've prepared? That way, my excuse will be more believable."

"Just take a look..." Yu Dazhang felt that his request didn't seem too unreasonable.

It would be good to let this veteran human trafficker see those female special forces members. If he could spot any problems or flaws, he could make preparations in advance.

After leaving the room, Yu Dazhang called over Captain Xu:

"Go and bring those seven armed police special forces members here. Tell them that there is a new mission, and this time they need to go deep behind enemy lines."

When they came to Songhai, they also brought the seven girls with them.

During this period, the armed police inquired twice, but Captain Xu brushed them off both times by saying that the mission was not yet completed.

Later, when the pressure became too great, Captain Xu contacted a higher-ups, and after that, the armed police never pressed them again.

To put it bluntly, it's because he's not high enough in rank.

Communication between departments is more efficient at higher levels, whether within the government or in a company.

"Okay, I'll go pick it up now." After agreeing, Captain Xu turned and left.

He was undoubtedly the happiest when he got in touch with Gu Dingwen.

He is still very anxious because some of the deaf and mute female students are still missing. If they can be found soon, he will be able to give them some peace of mind.

Half an hour later.

Yu Dazhang met the seven female special forces members in the hotel room.

They seem much more relaxed... Compared to the beginning, Yu Dazhang noticed that these seven girls were no longer as tense as before.

It seems that these girls have been having a pretty good time during this period.

He was right.

Since completing their last mission, the girls have had some free time.

At first, they were a little worried. After all, so many people died in that mission. Whether from a moral point of view or from the actual situation, there should be an explanation.

To this end, each of them wrote detailed combat situation reports and mission execution reports, recording the entire process in detail.

As a result, the fat man never contacted them again.

He neither held them accountable nor pursued any form of investigation against them, nor even asked them a single question.

This is something that has never happened before and is impossible in previous operations.

The military is not a place for reckless behavior. Every mission is carried out under strict requirements, and a corresponding investigation is conducted afterward. This is a constraint, a discipline, and above all, a testament to the self-discipline of soldiers.

But in front of this fat man, the matter was simply glossed over.

In the days that followed, they found that no one cared about them anymore. After arriving in Songhai, they stayed in the dormitory arranged by the Criminal Investigation Corps.

They ate all three meals a day at the brigade's canteen, and occasionally they could have a late-night snack.

Moreover, the whole day was free time, which made them think that they had come to Songhai for a vacation.

People are controlled by habits, and the sudden relaxation made these girls feel uncomfortable.

However, as time went by, their initially tense nerves gradually relaxed.

"How have you been resting lately?" Yu Dazhang asked politely.

"Please assign the task, leader." The girl in the lead snapped to attention, head held high, and said:
"us……"

The next moment, the seven girls said in unison:
"Ready at all the time!"

After that sound, their previous relaxed state vanished instantly, replaced by seriousness, tension, and solemnity.

Yu Dazhang even felt a chilling aura spreading through the air.

He couldn't help but frown slightly as he looked at them.

Should we tell them to take good care of themselves?
I did give them a heads-up last time, but only one of them survived.

If I had arrived any later, the last one would probably have died too.

"that……"

Yu Dazhang hesitated for a moment, then decided to skip the instructions and get straight to the point:

"Captain Xu should have told you that this mission is still deep behind enemy lines, and it will probably take place in the next day or two. Before that, I'd like to introduce you to someone."

He then led the seven girls to the next room.

"That's them."

Yu Dazhang said to Zhang Jiangke, who was sitting on the bed:
"Take a look, in your opinion, do they meet Gu Dingwen's criteria?"

After the seven girls entered the room, they lined up in a row and stood by the bed.

Zhang Jiangke, who was sitting on the bed, instinctively stood up the moment he saw them, and then took a step back.

Yu Dazhang noticed that his legs were trembling slightly, as if he wanted to back away, but he forcibly suppressed it.

Are you sweating?
He noticed that Zhang Jiangke's legs were not only shaking, but also that cold sweat was seeping from his forehead, his face was terribly pale, and his body seemed somewhat stiff.

As for?
Yu Dazhang always thought that Zhang Jiangke was worldly-wise, after all, he was over sixty years old and was in a business that could cost him his life, so he shouldn't be so frightened by these girls.

"She, they..."

Zhang Jiangke's lips trembled:

“Soldiers! Yes, they must be soldiers, and not just ordinary soldiers.”

"You have a good eye..." Yu Dazhang turned his head and glanced at the girls, only to find them glaring angrily at Zhang Jiangke.

They made no disguises and appeared completely natural. When facing Zhang Jiangke, they did not restrain their aura, and their fierce presence made Yu Dazhang feel a little scared.

These girls clearly recognized the man as a human trafficker, and were therefore filled with hostility towards him.

"Do they meet the requirements?" Yu Dazhang asked again.

“It matches.” Zhang Jiangke answered instinctively, but then immediately shook his head.
"No, their demeanor is so professionally trained, they definitely can't fool Lao Gu."
