Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 741 seems to have underestimated the opponent.

Townhouses? Yu Dazhang frowned as he listened to Captain Xu's report.

He had expected the enemy's hideout to be quite large, but now it seemed he had underestimated their strength.

If the other party were to combine two adjacent villas, the actual usable area would double.

Moreover, the officers who infiltrated the area made their judgments based solely on the location of the parked vehicles, a method that has significant limitations.

It's quite possible that the other party didn't just break into two villas, but more.

"Stay on standby."

Yu Dazhang commanded:

"Tell everyone to be alert and ready to act at any time."

Five minutes later, he suddenly felt a little uneasy, as if he had overlooked something.

"I must not underestimate my opponent..." Yu Dazhang reminded himself.

The two previous video calls made him feel that Gu Dingwen was a simple and honest person, but it is precisely this kind of intuitive feeling that is most likely to deceive people.

First of all, people who can become chief physicians are definitely not lacking in intelligence.

This highest level of professional title is not something that can be obtained through hard work; the professional title examination alone eliminates the vast majority of people.

Secondly, a highly intelligent person who has gone through a process of turning to the dark side can never be a simple and straightforward person.

Yu Dazhang took a deep breath, trying his best to remain calm.

From this perspective, Gu Dingwen disdains to hide his emotions.

As it turns out, people who can think of using IP addresses to set traps for the police are not only meticulous but also very adept at using schemes and tactics.

I'm not afraid of you being smart, I'm afraid of you being a fool... Yu Dazhang has seen too many smart people, but the only ones he can't empathize with are fools.

"Captain Hua, call the police officers over there in the neighborhood."

He raised his hand and patted Captain Hua, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and said in a low voice:

"Tell them to evacuate the stairwell and wait outside. If they see anyone coming out of the building, they should follow them."

Upon hearing this, Hua turned to look at him:

"They're not going to arrest them anymore?"

This was the first time he had seen Yu Dazhang overturn his decision, and he couldn't help but feel strange.

"Yes, we won't arrest them anymore."

Yu Dazhang said quickly:
"I underestimated them a bit before. Let me make a call first."

There's nothing to be ashamed of in admitting it. Everyone makes mistakes. The fact that he realized his mistake before it happened is already quite remarkable.

Seeing that he sounded a bit anxious, Hua didn't dare to delay and immediately took out his phone to make a call.

After the call connected, he repeated Yu Dazhang's orders to the other end.

Yu Dazhang added:
"When following someone, be sure to stay hidden. If you spot them meeting with the RV, report it immediately."

He was beginning to regret not taking the area seriously enough, which led him to send only two officers.

If Gu Dingwen is found in the residential area, two criminal police officers simply won't be enough.

Because Gu Dingwen will definitely have helpers around him.

We must provide immediate support!

After Hua hung up the phone, Yu Dazhang gave him another order:

"Take four more people from your team and send them immediately to the residential area to support the officers there. Also..."

He originally wanted Hua to contact the police station near the community again, but then he suddenly remembered that Hua was actually from N Province and did not have the authority to be dispatched in Songhai.

Communication between departments is definitely more convenient when it's done locally.

"Alright, you can make the arrangements now. I'll contact the branch office and police station there separately."

While Hua was on the phone, Yu Dazhang also took out his phone and dialed the head of the Criminal Investigation Department.

In matters of communication like this, the higher the level, the better.

Even if he, an ordinary criminal police officer, made contact, it would be useless; the other unit wouldn't take it seriously at all.

Isn't this too bureaucratic?
No, this isn't bureaucracy, it's reality.

After receiving his call, the captain readily agreed and promised to contact him immediately.

It's almost midnight now, and you can imagine how difficult it is to contact departments for support at this time.

However, judging from the captain's attitude, he also attaches great importance to this case and will do his utmost to contribute in any way he can. Moreover, the members of the Songhai task force that Yu Dazhang is currently leading are all from the Criminal Investigation Department.

If the case is successfully solved, the credit will naturally go to the Criminal Investigation Department.

This is called: the meat rots in the pot.

As long as the special task force in Songhai is there, the credit will be his.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Dazhang mentally went through another round of deductions.

There shouldn't be any problems.

Assuming Gu Dingwen is currently hiding in the RV, he will be keeping a close watch on two places:

1. Villa area.

2. The community shown by the IP address.

If he were exposed, the police would definitely raid those two locations.

Next comes a test of patience.

As long as nothing goes wrong in these two places, Gu Dingwen will eventually lower his guard.

The risk that Yu Dazhang was taking was the safety of those seven female special forces members.

Given their military skills, would they be in danger?

There is always a chance of something happening.

Don't forget, Gu Dingwen is a chief physician-level gynecological expert, and his understanding of various drugs is unparalleled.

If those female special agents were to be used some kind of colorless and odorless drug without their knowledge, it could very well render them unconscious.

This possibility is not impossible.

Therefore, Yu Dazhang cannot completely put his mind at ease yet.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

It's past midnight now, and we're in the early hours of the morning.

Yu Dazhang couldn't help but feel a little irritated, and his fingers began to tap unconsciously on his thigh.

Just then, Hua's phone suddenly vibrated.

"Hey?"

After the call connected, Hua's voice became a bit more serious:

"what's the situation?"

He spoke quickly, but remained relatively calm.

"The people inside have come out," the officer on the other end of the phone replied in a low voice.
"There was only one man, I couldn't see his face clearly, he was standing on the side of the road outside the residential area, and it looked like he was waiting for a car."

Waiting for a car? Yu Dazhang originally thought this person had driven here.

Since there were no officers inside the building, the police officers outside had no way of knowing who had entered the house, and therefore had no way of knowing how the person had gotten there.

In retrospect, it is highly likely that the person entered the residential area by taxi.

It's not easy to get a taxi at this time... Yu Dazhang knew that neighborhood; geographically speaking, it was quite far from the city center.

Even if it were daytime, let alone now that it's the middle of the night, it would be difficult to get a taxi in that area.

At this point in 2015, although Didi had already been operating, it was in Yanjing, and it wouldn't officially start operating in Songhai until October.

Therefore, there are currently no ride-hailing services in Songhai.

"Don't hang up the phone."

Yu Dazhang suddenly spoke up:
"Keep the call open, and report immediately if the other party wants to get on the bus."

Judging from the timing, the support hadn't arrived yet, so he hoped that person would wait by the roadside a little longer.

"Okay." After the person on the other end agreed, the car fell silent.

About five minutes later.

Suddenly, the police officer's puzzled voice came from the phone:

"A car has come to pick him up. It's quite a big car, and it looks..."

After a brief pause, his voice came again, this time clearer, but with a hint of surprise:
"It looks like a campervan?"
