Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 743 I finally caught you!
Does it look a bit like it?
That won't do... Yu Dazhang immediately leaned forward and said into the phone:

"How do you judge?"

Even if there's only a slight resemblance, there must be evidence to support it.

Especially when criminal police officers report on cases, they can't just make things up; once they say something, they have to have evidence to back it up.

The officer on the other end of the phone thought for a moment, then replied:

“When Gu Dingwen had a video call earlier, I saw his appearance and build. Compared with the person who just got on the bus, although he was a bit blurry, there were still some similarities in the general outline.”

Then it becomes impossible to determine whether it's the same person... Yu Dazhang immediately gave the order:
"Continue to track, and stay hidden."

This kind of ambiguous information is the most troublesome.

If he could confirm that the person who just got into the car was Gu Dingwen, he could order his arrest, but for now he could only continue following him.

However, judging from Gu Dingwen's style of doing things, he might indeed make such an arrangement.

The villa area and the neighborhood where the IP address was located were all bait he used to lure the police, along with the RV that appeared later.

If these three baits haven't lured the police out, it's safe to say that the police haven't locked onto him yet.

Yes, he should be relieved now... Yu Dazhang felt that even if Gu Dingwen was cautious, he should let his guard down.

But he never imagined that the police had been secretly watching him all along and had never let their guard down.

After ending the call, Team Hua suggested:
“We can take them under control first. If Gu Dingwen isn’t in the car, then we can get the suspect to cooperate…”

He had just started when he suddenly stopped.

It was only then that the Chinese team realized that their emotions were not quite right.

Too hasty.

Since it's uncertain whether Gu Dingwen is in the car, why take the risk of stopping the car?
This is the usual practice in handling cases.

In the past, if the police had discovered the suspect's whereabouts, they would have immediately made an arrest and would not have missed the opportunity.

Such situations, where a long line is used to catch a big fish, are actually very rare.

Moreover, the other party always makes the police feel that the fish has taken the bait, but in fact, it is just a series of tests.

"I was too impatient."

As the deputy chief of the provincial department, Captain Hua quickly adjusted his demeanor and said in a deep voice:

“I understand. You’re waiting for him to slip up on his own. The best time to arrest him is only when it’s confirmed that he is Gu Dingwen himself.”

"I can't do anything about it..." Yu Dazhang lamented inwardly.

He wanted to bring the other party to justice immediately, but who would have thought that Gu Dingwen would come up with so many fancy tricks.

In fact, Yu Dazhang had already become somewhat insecure because of Gu Dingwen.

He always felt that if anything seemed amiss, he would fall into the other party's trap.

Rather than doing that, it's better to wait and see.

Anyway, we have enough manpower on our side, and the other party is all within the police's sight, so there is no need to rush.

"Wait, then."

Yu Dazhang reassured the Chinese team:
"We'll soon find out whether the person who just got on the bus was Gu Dingwen."

He didn't explain in detail, but he had a clear idea in his mind.

Once a motorhome is on the road, it must have a destination.

Once we arrive at the destination, the answer will be revealed.

These seven girls were acquired by Gu Dingwen at a high price, which shows that they are of great use.

The person has already received the goods, and he will definitely inspect them personally.

As time went on, the atmosphere inside the car became heavy and tense.

Team leader Hua took out a cigarette several times, but didn't dare to light it. It's precisely in situations like this that you need to pay attention to details; often, a seemingly insignificant habitual action can give away your position.

This time the wait seemed exceptionally long.

Yu Dazhang took out his phone, just about to check the time, when Xu's voice suddenly came through the walkie-talkie:
"A car is coming. Judging from the height of the headlights, it's not a sedan, but a medium-sized vehicle."

At the same time, Hua's phone also started vibrating, making a buzzing sound.

He quickly took out his phone, pressed the answer button, and heard an anxious report from a police officer on the other end of the line:
"Team Leader Hua, that RV just turned onto the side road. The map shows that there's a villa area ahead."

coming!

The fact that both sides reported at the same time is enough to prove that the RV has arrived here.

Without a second thought, Yu Dazhang abruptly turned his head, his gaze fixed intently on the view outside the window.

Sure enough, not long after, with two bright headlights flashing, a motorhome slowly arrived at the main entrance of the villa area.

After pausing briefly at the entrance, the people inside the vehicle seemed to have a brief exchange with the security guard before the RV slowly drove into the villa area and disappeared from Yu Dazhang's sight.

"Attention everyone."

Yu Dazhang picked up the walkie-talkie and said in a deep voice:
"Stay alert and be ready to act at any time."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the time on his phone.

1:40 a.m.

People are most prone to drowsiness during this time, but it doesn't have much of an impact on people with long-term irregular sleep patterns.

Due to the special nature of this stakeout mission, smoking was prohibited for anyone in the car, so the officers were undoubtedly enduring it.

Yu Dazhang understood their feelings, which is why he reminded them before taking action.

Whenever Gu Dingwen meets with those female special agents, the task force will receive a message from inside.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Everything that's happening so far is within his expectations; only the final confirmation is needed.

Of course, Yu Dazhang did not place all his hopes on the seven female special forces members.

Because there was a police officer from the special task force lying in ambush at the entrance of the target villa, if Gu Dingwen was in the RV, he would be spotted by that officer the moment he got out of the vehicle.

The lights at the entrance of the villa are sufficient to clearly illuminate the surrounding environment.

Therefore, Yu Dazhang now has double insurance.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, the walkie-talkie rang again, and this time Captain Xu's voice was noticeably more urgent than before:

"The officers who were lying in wait inside just reported that a motorhome parked in front of the target villa, and five men got out. One of them, a man with gray hair, looks a lot like Gu Dingwen."

"Very similar?" Yu Dazhang noticed that the police officers' word choices were not very precise.

But now is not the time to be serious. He can understand the police officer's thoughts. After all, the matter is of great importance, and such words can only be used to describe it before there is 100% certainty.

"About how similar are they?" Yu Dazhang asked.

He believed that Captain Xu must have asked similar questions as well.

"Ninety percent," Captain Xu replied, his tone tinged with seriousness.
"According to him, because those people went straight into the villa after getting out of the car, he had very little time to observe them, but he still managed to see their faces clearly."

Ninety percent... Yu Dazhang knew in his heart that this similarity was basically enough to confirm it.

It's estimated that the police officer was afraid of being held responsible for making a mistake, and also afraid that his subjective judgment might mislead the task force.

Therefore, he deliberately left 10% of the variables unresolved.

The next moment, Captain Xu's voice rang out again:
"Those girls are sending signals!"
