Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 760 Do you still remember that great bull market?

Preparations before the interrogation are also very necessary, so he planned to use the time spent drawing the portrait to carefully consider the questions to be asked next.

But just as he started, his phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Qu Tuotuo.

It seems like it's been a while since he last contacted her... Yu Dazhang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he had almost forgotten that he had a fiancée.

However, he was also a little curious, since Qu Tuotuo rarely contacted him during work hours.

"Hey?"

After the call connected, Yu Dazhang asked directly:

"Is something wrong?"

Qu Tuotuo did not answer, but instead asked:
"Where are you?"

You could tell from her tone that she was in a good mood.

“Detention center,” Yu Dazhang replied.

This didn't involve the case, so he didn't hide anything, and besides, he didn't specify which detention center it was.

He instinctively felt that Qu Tuotuo must have something to ask him, and it was no small matter.

Qu Tuotuo seemed dissatisfied with Da Zhang's answer and immediately followed up with another question:
Is it in Songhai?

Her voice was full of anticipation, as if she couldn't wait to meet her.

"Yes."

Yu Dazhang felt something was off; normally, she would have brought it up already.

Based on his understanding of Qu Tuotuo, she was not someone who liked to beat around the bush.

"What time do you get off work?" Qu Tuotuo stammered.

"I want to see you; it's been a while since we last met."

Clearly, she wasn't good at that, so she spoke very softly.

If it were any other girl who knew how to be charming, she would have said "I miss you" directly, but Qu Tuotuo is not that kind of person.

"Not recently."

Yu Dazhang reluctantly refused:

"As you know, I've taken on a case that's currently at its most critical stage, so I really don't have the time."

His voice revealed a hint of fatigue, which is typical of the work of a criminal investigator—working day and night, both mentally and physically.

When faced with a major case, they can't even guarantee a normal amount of sleep, let alone have any personal time.

They've known each other for almost a year now, and during that time, Yu Dazhang has always believed that she understands and supports his work.

Seeing the silence on the other end, Yu Dazhang couldn't help but urge:

"Is something wrong? If so, just say it."

After all, it was work time, and he didn't want others to misunderstand that he was having a romantic conversation with his girlfriend.

"There is something..."

Qu Tuotuo stammered and asked:

Do you remember when you recommended stocks to me last year?

Stocks? Yu Dazhang was stunned.

In his memory, he had never recommended any stock to Qu Tuotuo, and he didn't know much about stocks.

In my previous life, I did investigate several cases related to stocks.

You've asked the wrong person.

Yu Dazhang frowned and replied:
"I remember very clearly that we never talked about stocks when we were together. Are you thinking of me as your ex-boyfriend?"

He doesn't consider himself Qu Tuotuo's first love.

It's simply unrealistic to say that a girl who has studied abroad has never been in a relationship.

However, they never talked about this. On the contrary, Qu Tuotuo once took the initiative to ask about his love history.

Yu Dazhang isn't stupid, so he naturally had to say that he had never been in a relationship, otherwise the topic would snowball and get bigger and bigger.

"Where did I get an ex-boyfriend?"

Qu Tuotuo reminded him impatiently:

"That time, our first date, you drank too much, and I had to take you home."

“You said there would be a big bull market soon, which would last until June of the following year, and you told me to close my positions and leave the market two months in advance in case I couldn’t get out.”

He remembered... The mention of their first date immediately brought back the memory of when he got drunk.

It was a rather embarrassing experience for him, and one of the few times he felt ashamed. Under the influence of alcohol, he had indeed tried to predict stock market trends for her.

However, he was drunk at the time, so Yu Dazhang thought Qu Tuotuo wouldn't take his words seriously.

To his surprise, Qu Tuotuo remembered it to this day.

"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Yu Dazhang asked, completely bewildered:

"Are you thinking of buying in because you see stocks are going crazy?"

This is what worries him most.

Because now all the new entrants are retail investors, while those who are truly involved in finance have already started to cash out and leave.

Entering the market now would be like throwing yourself into the lion's den; you wouldn't even have time to get out later.

“I listened to your advice and started building my position last year.”

Qu Tuotuo, on the other end of the phone, explained:
"I have successfully sold most of my stocks in the last two weeks, and now I only have a small portion left."

How cunning! Yu Dazhang never expected that Qu Tuotuo would have such courage and make such a decisive decision in such a short time.

wrong.

It has nothing to do with courage.

On second thought, Yu Dazhang realized that things might not be so simple.

Qu Tuotuo must have conducted a series of in-depth investigations and verifications after hearing his prediction.

Only when she discovered that the market trend was exactly as she had predicted did she resolutely choose to establish a position and enter the market.

You underestimated her.

Yu Dazhang always thought that Qu Tuotuo relied on her father's funds and connections, but he never expected that she herself was also very business-minded.

No wonder she hadn't contacted me for the past two weeks; she was busy cashing out.

Unbeknownst to her, she had actually enjoyed the benefits of my rebirth... Upon realizing this, Yu Dazhang couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

It seems that she herself did not enjoy this benefit, but Qu Tuotuo did.

There was no other way; Yu Dazhang's meager funds wouldn't amount to much even if invested in the stock market, as his capital was simply too small.

"Then why did you call me?"

Yu Dazhang's tone was unfriendly:
"You don't want me to celebrate with you, do you?"

It would be a lie to say I'm not envious. It was clearly his opportunity, but someone else benefited from it.

Most importantly, Qu Tuotuo hadn't mentioned the stocks for so long, and only brought it up now that the positions were about to be liquidated.

Even though she was his fiancée, he still felt uncomfortable.

"I still have a small number of stocks in my hands."

Qu Tuotuo didn't pay attention to his tone, but asked in a questioning tone:

"You're saying the bull market will end in June this year. Is that accurate? I'm thinking of holding on for a while longer before selling."

So that's why he came to me asking for the secret manual... Yu Dazhang's mood worsened.

However, from Qu Tuotuo's perspective, she really didn't do anything wrong.

Merchants pursue profit, but as long as it is within the bounds of the law, it is perfectly justified to earn whatever amount they make.

"Before the bull market ends, individual stocks will gradually show signs of differentiation."

Yu Dazhang took a deep breath and explained:

"Some individual stocks will start to fall. If you don't exit the market at this point, it's no different from gambling. You might even lose all the profits you made before."

"Listen to me, just make a little money. There's only a small difference between greed and poverty. There's no need to take risks."

Finally, he asked curiously:

"By the way, how much did you make on this investment?"

In Yu Dazhang's opinion, Qu Tuotuo should be able to earn a few million, but it's unlikely to earn more than that.

After all, these were words spoken when he was drunk. Even if Qu Tuotuo believed him, she wouldn't invest too much in them.

But next second...

"If I close all my positions, I can probably make a profit..."

Qu Tuotuo drew out a long note, then said in a firm tone:
"Five hundred million, I guess."
