Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 739 You Don't Always Have to Use Your Brain
Yu Dazhang then arranged for officers from the local Criminal Investigation Division to guard Zhang Jiangke at the hotel, while he led Team Hua to the warehouse.

On the road.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Captain Hua glanced back at Yu Dazhang in the back seat and asked:
"If Gu Dingwen is arrested and brought to justice, will this case be resolved?"

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

However, Yu Dazhang was busy at the hotel and was accompanied by police officers from other regions, so he didn't dare to ask.

After all, he holds an important position, so he still needs to consider his reputation.

Asking this question indicates that he lacks basic judgment about the case.

But he had to admit that such a complex case was beyond his capabilities, and he could no longer keep up with Yu Dazhang's train of thought.

"It's hard to say. Based on the existing clues, there should be someone behind Gu Dingwen."

Yu Dazhang's answer was ambiguous, neither affirming nor denying.

However, from his tone, it was clear that he was confident about the case.

"You mean, the person who's funding him?" Captain Hua pressed.

After Yu Dazhang and his team returned to Songhai, the three task forces held several meetings together to discuss the case and analyze and study the current clues.

Even now, the Chinese team still believes that Gu Dingwen is the mastermind, and that the people who funded him were simply investing in his business.

Does anyone invest in crime?
Of course there are.

And there are a lot of them.

For example, illegal fundraising, unlicensed car sales, money laundering...

I won't list them all.

In short, they come up with all sorts of creative ideas; there's nothing they can't do, only things you can't imagine.

In the past, who would have thought that investing in movies could be used for money laundering, or even tipping live streamers?

Therefore, the Hua team believes that those who give money to Gu Dingwen do not necessarily have to be involved in crimes; they may simply want to invest and receive dividends.

"It's too early to talk about these things now."

Yu Dazhang clearly didn't want to dwell on this issue:
"It's pointless to speculate before we catch Gu Dingwen; we still have too few clues at the moment."

He had already made deductions about the things that the Chinese team was considering.

However, due to a lack of supporting evidence, it is impossible to infer the exact result.

The information he currently possesses about the other party was initially obtained from Zhang Jiangke, and Gu Dingwen is clearly wary of Zhang Jiangke.

To put it simply, Yu Dazhang now understands Gu Dingwen even better than Zhang Jiangke does.

Although the latter called him "Old Gu" repeatedly, which sounded quite affectionate, he didn't know anything about Gu Dingwen's past.

Yu Dazhang also considered that the person behind it might simply be investing money.

But once he learned that all those who had falsely accused Gu Dingwen were dead, he ruled out that possibility.

About half an hour later.

They arrived at an abandoned factory in the suburbs.

Yu Dazhang's inspiration for finding a warehouse here came entirely from Zhang Qian, a secondhand dealer.

When they were in Xicheng, Xie Wei and Zhang Qian took turns meeting at an abandoned factory in the suburbs.

Often, you don't actually need to use your own brain; you can just learn from other people's experiences.

Look at Lei Jun, he learned from others all the way, leaving many business tycoons speechless, but it has to be admitted that he did succeed.

Upon arrival, Yu Dazhang first called Captain Xu:

"What's the situation now?"

"No suspicious persons have approached this area," Captain Xu replied on the other end of the phone.

“Our officers are monitoring the surrounding intersections. No matter which way the other party comes from, they will come into their line of sight.” Yu Dazhang then glanced at the time.

9:40 PM.

"Hua and I are here too."

Yu Dazhang then added:
"Tell the officers to be on high alert. The other party will definitely come to pick them up tonight. Contact us immediately if anything happens."

After hanging up the phone, he looked towards the factory gate.

There aren't even any streetlights around here; only the security camera at the factory warehouse entrance emits a faint red light.

Yu Dazhang was located about a hundred meters away from the factory. Even with his good eyesight, he couldn't see the situation on the other side of the warehouse at night.

Seeing no movement, he leaned back in his chair and slowly closed his eyes.

He appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, his brain was working at high speed without stopping for a moment.

Since Gu Dingwen is an efficient person, he will send someone over the moment he sees the address.

The reason it hasn't arrived yet is most likely because the journey is quite long.

It's almost 10 o'clock now, and as time goes on, there will be fewer and fewer vehicles on the road, which is very disadvantageous for them.

The best way is to blend into the traffic so that they can reduce the risk of being detected under the cover of other vehicles.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Hua, sitting in the front, seemed to find it too dull, so he spoke up:
"I still don't understand how you came up with the idea of ​​surrogacy. Since surrogacy is legal in many foreign countries, why would someone in China choose to have a surrogate?"

This question may sound contradictory at first glance, but it's not new.

Yu Dazhang had explained this to Captain Xu and the others back in S Province, so when Captain Hua asked, he was too lazy to repeat himself.

"Have you ever cracked down on gambling?" Yu Dazhang asked in return.

Team leader Hua, who was waiting to hear the answer, was stunned by this seemingly random question.

But he quickly came to his senses and answered seriously:
"Of course I've been arrested. I worked my way up from the bottom. I've arrested people for both small and big gambling, and I've shut down many underground casinos."

Gambling is too common.

Therefore, anyone who has ever been a police officer, whether a regular officer or a criminal investigator, has basically had experience cracking down on gambling.

"I've also cracked down on gambling."

After replying, Yu Dazhang asked again:

“We all know that gambling is legal in Macau, so why do you think people from mainland China don’t gamble there and instead choose to gamble locally, taking all the risks?”

These words immediately made Team Leader Hua blush.

Why else could it be? It's just inconvenient.

This indirectly explains why the vast majority of people in China do not choose to have surrogates abroad.

With the improvement of modern scientific awareness and living standards, the demand for surrogacy among infertile families has naturally increased rapidly.

However, going abroad has many inconveniences, and relying solely on so-called shady intermediaries cannot solve the problem.

Therefore, domestic options are the best choice.

Although China has strictly cracked down on surrogacy, it cannot stop people's desire to carry on the family line, and not everyone is willing to remain childless.

Therefore, surrogacy persists despite repeated bans, taking root and sprouting in places where sunlight cannot reach.

"coming!"

Captain Xu, who was sitting in front, suddenly whispered something.

Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhang immediately looked outside and saw two vehicles approaching on the road to the west of the factory. Judging from their length, they appeared to be business-type vehicles.

Soon, two vehicles drove into the factory and stopped at the warehouse entrance.
