Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 383 The entire mountain cannot be spared
Zhang Sen didn't ask any more questions, but instead scanned his surroundings and began to observe the environment.

He had collaborated with Yu Dazhang many times and was already accustomed to the other's working style.

At times like this, he doesn't need to use his brain; he just needs to follow instructions.

Yu Dazhang looked up at the mountain road.

There weren't even any streetlights; the mountain road was pitch black, and we had no idea where it led.

At this moment, Hua came to his side, said nothing, and just looked at him quietly.

Lu Zhongxin and his men, along with police officers from the provincial department, all gathered around and stood to the side.

They were all waiting for Yu Dazhang's orders.

Everyone here was filled with questions; they couldn't understand how Yu Dazhang knew the target vehicle would turn onto this mountain road.

This is information asymmetry.

When Yu Dazhang drew the route on that map, neither Hua Dui nor Qi Fang were present.

When Qi Fang recognized that this was the only way back to Liancheng, there were only the three of them in the car.

This means that both sides are missing an important piece of information.

Only Yu Dazhang could bring these two lines together.

"Put this 4.2-meter van across the middle of this mountain road."

Yu Dazhang commanded:

“We take turns keeping watch, and if anyone gets close to the car, we arrest them all.”

He suspected that the driver had contacted the other side of the road before setting off.

For shady dealings like this, you definitely need to be prepared for both possibilities.

If the vehicle and people do not arrive within the stipulated time, it means something has happened, and the other side will definitely take action.

Under these circumstances, Yu Dazhang would certainly not rush up the mountain.

It's pitch black and the road conditions are complicated; going up now would just be asking for trouble.

"Call for backup," Yu Dazhang said to Team Hua.

"We don't have enough people?" Team Leader Hua suddenly didn't understand his intention.

There are more than ten armed police officers here.

In the eyes of the Chinese team, this lineup could easily handle a few criminals and there was no need to call for backup.

"Of course it's not enough."

Yu Dazhang replied:

"This mountain is so big, and it's one mountain after another. There are only a dozen or so of us. We'd work ourselves to death and still not find that underground prison."

He had already made up his mind that he couldn't let the whole mountain go...

Yu Dazhang never thought he could pinpoint the location of that underground prison. If it were that easy to find, the organization wouldn't have been able to operate there for so many years.

In his view, being able to pinpoint a general location would be the best possible outcome.

The following method is both simple and effective.

Search the mountain!

Now that the location has been determined, it is worthwhile to deploy any amount of police force.

After hearing his words, Hua immediately realized what he meant.

"Leave it to me." He agreed, took out his phone, and got into a car.

It was already late at night.

As the tension subsided, Yu Dazhang felt drowsy, weak all over, and his stomach was rumbling.

Back in his SUV, he rummaged through the trunk and found a box of instant noodles, a large bag of sausages, and several cans of meat.

This was bought by Qu Tuotuo and placed in his car when they were in Songhai, just in case he was too busy with work to eat.

Although they are all fast food, they are already considered delicacies for hungry people.

Yu Dazhang first showed off two sausages and then ate a can of meat. Feeling much better, he then took the food out for everyone to share.

Once back in the SUV, he adjusted the seat and lay down in the passenger seat in a relatively comfortable position.

The day's exertion was too great; simply replenishing food was clearly not enough.

He desperately needed a good night's sleep to allow his body and mind to fully rest and recover.

He wasn't needed for the second half of the night shift. With so many officers here, half an hour per shift would be enough.

And right now their only task is to block this intersection.

Yu Dazhang fell asleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes, and even lying in the car did not affect his sleep quality.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already broad daylight. He took out his phone and checked the time.

7:20 a.m.

After sleeping for nearly seven hours, Yu Dazhang immediately got up and went outside.

By this time, a long line of police cars had been parked on the roadside. He glanced at them but couldn't see the end of the line.

Did they call in all the police in the city?

Besides criminal police officers, Yu Dazhang also saw police officers from the local police station and special patrol officers, and even traffic police were on duty.

Just as he was in a daze, a familiar figure walked towards him.

"Awake?" The person patted his shoulder.

"I saved some rice noodles for you, have some."

Yu Dazhang turned his head and saw that it was the captain of the Provincial Criminal Investigation Corps.

He clearly remembered that the other person's surname was Long.

"President Long." Yu Dazhang stood at attention and saluted.

The title "Commander-in-Chief" cannot be used casually; it must be included.

"Alright, stop being so polite." Boss Long waved his hand.
"You're not the kind of young person who gets weak in the knees when you see a boss, so let's skip this formality."

Yu Dazhang smiled and then went to eat a bowl of rice noodles.

To be honest, he wasn't really used to the local breakfasts in N Province.

When it comes to breakfast, his favorite is definitely steamed buns.

Especially the kind with pure meat filling, it's so delicious, every bite is bursting with juicy goodness.

However, you can't be picky about food at times like this. It's already a big favor that your boss brings you breakfast.

After breakfast, Yu Dazhang found Lü Zhongxin and the others and asked:

"Was anything unusual last night?"

"No," Ma Jian replied.

“I was on duty at six in the morning. No one came down from the mountain and no one approached the van.”

He paused for a moment, then added:
"By then, the support personnel had begun to arrive one after another."

Yu Dazhang nodded, gaining a deeper understanding of the Chinese team's capabilities.

When it comes to calling up players, Team Hua is definitely a leader.

Before each operation, he always managed to arrange the people neatly, with almost nothing to criticize in terms of either the number or the quality.

This time it was even more daring; they directly summoned the chief commander.

Judging from this formation, there should be a large force following.

"There is only one road into the mountains."

Team Leader Hua got out of a car next to him, walked up to Yu Dazhang, pointed to the mountain road, and said:

"We have searched the area around the mountain and found no other entrances or exits. We have also asked the residents in the surrounding area, and they confirmed that this is indeed the only mountain road that is passable."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhang nodded solemnly.

With only this one main road, the operation will be much easier; the police only need to search along this mountain road.

Fang Peng once said that he was taken directly to the underground prison by that truck, which means that the entrance there was right next to this main road.

"However, we still found two small paths that people could walk on."

Team Hua continued:

"We have already deployed personnel to monitor those two paths, and we will immediately arrest anyone who passes by."

It seems like there's nothing for me to do... Yu Dazhang muttered to himself.

Such a large-scale search operation would naturally be directed by the provincial authorities.

All he can do now is fill in the gaps and make up for any deficiencies.
