Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 736 Who is the sheep, and who is the wolf?
"Just say you were abducted from the armed police," Yu Dazhang said tentatively.

The reason is certainly valid and fits the identities and temperaments of these girls, but it sounds like utter nonsense to anyone who hears it.

The reason is simple: Zhang Jiangke doesn't have that much ability.

Abducting people from the Armed Police?
Unless the human traffickers are insane, no normal person would even dare to think about it.

He said this to test Zhang Jiangke's sincerity in cooperating with the police.

"Do not make jokes."

Zhang Jiangke avoided the girls' gazes and whispered to Da Zhang:

"I don't even believe such a thing myself, let alone lie to others."

Not bad, no tricks involved... Yu Dazhang then nodded to the female special agent in charge, signaling her to take her people to the next room to change.

After the seven girls left, Zhang Jiangke sat back on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Even if they have received professional training in the military, they are still women and too young."

Zhang Jiangke suggested:

“If we were to send them there, it would be like sending a flock of lambs into a wolf’s den. If we lost contact, it would be too late to regret it.”

Lamb? Yu Dazhang silently turned his head, his lips twitching slightly.

It's still uncertain who the sheep and who the wolf are.

During the last mission, Yu Dazhang had similar concerns, but after witnessing the scene at the bathhouse firsthand, he realized how naive his thoughts were.

One thing is certain.

If these girls really go missing, Gu Dingwen and his gang are probably in grave danger.

Sometimes you really have to respect professionalism. If you only look at the surface, these girls can easily make you lower your guard.

But the military trains them to handle emergencies, so there's absolutely no need to worry about them.

"What you need to consider is how to convince Gu Dingwen."

Yu Dazhang reminded him:

"As for the safety of my personnel, that's my responsibility. You just need to think about what you're going to say."

He knew that Zhang Jiangke was also trying to prevent casualties on the police side, but there were some things that were indeed not his concern.

After a while.

The door to the room was slowly pushed open, and a figure appeared in the doorway.

She was a girl wearing a floral dress. Her steps were light, and her hair was casually draped behind her. It wasn't styled, but it looked natural and carefree.

Her appearance was like a refreshing breeze; as soon as she entered the room, a wave of youthful energy washed over you.

Zhang Jiangke was immediately captivated by it at first glance.

"This is?"

He looked at Yu Dazhang and asked:
"You've found someone else again?"

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, his eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, muttering to himself:

"This is fine, it meets all the requirements, but..."

Zhang Jiangke had only spoken halfway when a girl wearing ripped jeans walked in through the door.

She paired her top with a very unique t-shirt, printed with some strange patterns and words.

This outfit made her stand out.

Coupled with her slightly messy short hair and somewhat indifferent expression, she gives off the vibe of a rebellious teenage girl at first glance.

"she……"

Zhang Jiangke's gaze fell on the girl, and he couldn't help but look at her a few more times:

"She can too."

Before he could continue his evaluation, another girl wearing overalls came in. Her style was playful and cute, like a girl next door.

Zhang Jiangke's attention was drawn to it again.

Before he could react, four more girls entered and stood in a line in front of the bed.

Now he could finally see their faces clearly and recognize them. "Amazing!"

Zhang Jiangke exclaimed in amazement:

"Just by changing my clothes and putting on light makeup, my whole aura has changed. I remember I always had short hair before, how come I have long hair all of a sudden?"

Four of the girls had noticeably longer hair than before, their short bob now reaching their shoulders.

However, it doesn't look like she's wearing a wig.

"What era are we living in?"

Yu Dazhang sneered from the side:

"You don't even know what a hairpiece is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the girls pulled a lock of hair from her head and waved it in her hand.

Even the look in his eyes has changed.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Jiangke nodded repeatedly and exclaimed in admiration:
"Their demeanor and attire didn't seem out of place at all. When I first walked in, I thought they were a different group of people."

Seeing his expression, Yu Dazhang knew that the matter was settled.

The human traffickers hadn't noticed these girls when they were on their last mission, so he was confident in their disguise skills.

He then waved to the girls, signaling them to leave.

After they left, Yu Dazhang said to Zhang Jiangke:
"I've prepared all the personnel. You have one day to figure out how to respond."

"No need to think about it," Zhang Jiangke replied directly.

"The more you think about it, the more deliberate it becomes. I'll just improvise when the time comes. Don't worry, I guarantee Lao Gu won't doubt me."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhang nodded:

"As long as you know what's going on."

As he stood up from his chair, about to leave, Zhang Jiangke suddenly spoke up:

"If I help you catch Lao Gu, can you let me see Jia Cheng?"

This request is a bit excessive, and the timing of making it is clearly opportunistic.

Why bring it up the day before he was to lure Lao Gu into a trap? Clearly, he wanted to use this opportunity to force the police to agree to his demands.

Yu Dazhang didn't answer him immediately. Instead, he stood there thinking for a few seconds before asking:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from him anymore. Would you still be willing to see him then?"

Zhang Jiangke's request came with additional conditions, which he didn't mention, but Yu Dazhang could guess.

He wanted to meet Zhou Jiacheng without revealing that he was a criminal.

In that case, they can't meet at a police station or detention center. The best place to meet is undoubtedly that rented room in Jinling.

It's just too much trouble.

If it weren't for the needs of the case, he wouldn't want to go all the way to Jinling again.

Moreover, when they meet, the police will definitely arrange for officers to keep a close eye on Zhang Jiangke.

Yu Dazhang had dealt with Zhou Jiacheng before, and given the boy's intelligence and sensitivity, it would be difficult to keep it a secret.

"never mind."

Zhang Jiangke smiled with relief:

“I’ve thought a lot these past few days and figured out what’s best for Jiaxing.”

His voice was slightly low, but it conveyed a sense of firmness and determination:

“He has the right to know who his biological father is. I should not have kept it from him in the first place, which led to him choosing to go to a children’s welfare home rather than come with me after his mother passed away.”

A hint of regret flashed in Zhang Jiangke's eyes, and he shook his head in self-reproach:

"If he had known earlier that he had a father, I think he would have come with me."

"But for the sake of my ridiculous pride, I kept it from him, and I even thought I was doing it for his own good."

He took a deep breath and continued:
"Let me see him one last time. I want to tell him my identity in person. I am both a father and a criminal."
