Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 766 You can do it, come on

In Songhai, no police officer has ever dared to speak to the chief in such a tone.

Yu Dazhang wasn't asking for a reason; he was clearly questioning him.

This seemingly smooth-talking fat man is actually a very stubborn person at heart. He will not compromise on matters of principle.

"you misunderstood."

The captain naturally sensed his anger, but instead of getting angry, he explained:
"It's not that I don't want you to touch Zhou Dong, but that you simply can't touch him because you don't know his identity."

Identity? Upon hearing this word, Yu Dazhang became even more furious.

Do you want to play the privilege game?
What identity can a businessman have? In other words, his so-called identity is not something he can acquire with money.

At this point, Yu Dazhang was completely out of control, and his voice grew increasingly cold:

"What is his identity?"

The captain didn't want to talk about this on the phone, but he had no choice but to, otherwise the fat guy on the other end might do something impulsive.

He was familiar with Da Zhang's resume and knew that he was someone who dared to break conventions and challenge rules.

The old tricks of using power to intimidate people within the system simply didn't work on this fat man.

"Songhai City People's Congress Representative".

The captain spoke softly, his tone tinged with helplessness, but more so with a sense of powerlessness.

"This one……"

Yu Dazhang never expected Zhou Dong to have such a hidden identity.

He also realized that he had misunderstood the captain.

Because of this identity, they really can't be arrested directly.

in the country, arresting a National People's Congress (NPC) deputy is a very serious crime, including by the police.

Even if someone is caught by accident, the judge cannot prosecute them, so they can neither be arrested nor prosecuted.

What if they are found to have committed murder or arson?

In this situation, the police can intervene, but they still cannot arrest him. They can only temporarily ask him to cooperate with the investigation, and absolutely cannot detain him directly.

Why is this happening?

Because the position of a people's representative is very dangerous.

They submit bills to the government every year, but these bills are bound to offend many people or groups.

Therefore, at this time, some people may use various means to frame him and prevent him from making suggestions.

Therefore, to prevent retaliation, no one can take action against anyone, regardless of what law they have broken, without the consent of the Presidium of the National People's Congress.

In short, the people's representatives are the foundation of the country, and the reason is that simple.

"Alright, stop with the 'this' and 'that'."

The captain urged.

"Focus on the case and leave the rest to me. If Zhou Dong really breaks the law, I will go through special procedures and obtain permission from the local People's Congress Presidium."

Everything must be done in accordance with the law, and the police are no exception.

“I understand,” Yu Dazhang replied immediately.

"I will gather evidence as soon as possible."

The situation is now clear: arresting Lu Kongxin is equivalent to completing the mission, and there's no point in keeping him here any longer.

Moreover, Yu Dazhang has not yet found any evidence that Zhou Dong was involved in the crime.

After ending the call, he raised his hand and waved to the officers who were staring at him expectantly:

"Collect the team."

"Wait!" Upon hearing this, Captain Xu immediately stepped in front of him and then asked in a low voice:

"What's wrong with you? Why did you want to stop? It's obvious that Lu Kongxin isn't the main culprit; he doesn't have the financial means. Is it because of that phone call just now?"

He glared angrily at Yu Dazhang, seemingly trying his best to suppress his emotions.

What kind of look is that? Yu Dazhang felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze.

Do you think I've become corrupt?

"Let's go back first." Yu Dazhang clearly didn't want to say more here, so he reassured them:
"If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when we get back."

If he stayed any longer, it would easily give rise to gossip, and most importantly, he was afraid that Zhou Dong would use his connections to obstruct the arrest.

The longer we wait, the more things could go wrong. Now that Lu Kongxin has been captured, the first priority is to take him back for interrogation. As for other matters, we can deal with them later.

"no!"

Captain Xu suddenly raised his voice:

“I’m saying this right here. I don’t care who called you just now. He can control you, but he can’t control me.”

His voice carried an air of authority:
"I only need one question from you: Is there something wrong with the owner of this place? Tell me, and I'll take care of the rest. I promise you won't be implicated."

What kind of person do you take me for...? Yu Dazhang knew that Captain Xu had misunderstood, just as he had misunderstood the chief captain earlier.

Before he could explain further, Hua also came over.

“Da Zhang, Captain Xu is right. If you’re having trouble, we can help you.”

He looked at Yu Dazhang and said in a low voice:

“We understand your difficulties, but some things cannot be left unattended; someone always needs to do them.”

They think I'm a coward... Yu Dazhang figured it out. If he didn't explain it clearly, these two vice-captains would definitely revolt today.

Since that's the case, let's see how you get out of this mess.

Yu Dazhang cleared his throat and then said in a voice that only the three of them could hear:

"Zhou Dong is a representative of the Songhai Municipal People's Congress."

Team Leader Xu: ...

Team China: !!!

“Go ahead.” Yu Dazhang turned to the side and pointed to the castle entrance:

"Go and catch him."

Neither of them moved, their eyes darting away, avoiding Yu Dazhang's gaze.

They were both veteran criminal investigators with twenty years of experience in the police force, so they naturally knew what the words "NPC representative" meant.

“You’re right. I’m not just in a difficult position, I also don’t dare to order the arrest.”

Yu Dazhang said irritably:
"Thank you for your understanding. Now it's up to you. Go ahead and have a safe journey."

The two remained motionless, their heads bowed.

Seeing that they remained silent, Yu Dazhang decided to stop while he was ahead and waved his hand again, saying:

"Collect the team."

on the way back.

The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat oppressive.

Xu, who was sitting in the front, wanted to speak several times, but he held back.

The Chinese team behind them also had a hesitant expression, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.

Yu Dazhang looked out the car window at the receding street scene, his mind filled with the scene of arresting Lu Kongxin.

Lu Kongxin stood at the castle gate, showing no signs of nervousness or fear, giving the impression that he was welcoming guests at home.

Even after his arrest, when he refuted Da Zhang's words, he remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic whatsoever.

This shows that Lu Kongxin was not surprised by his arrest, and may have even been mentally prepared for it.

If that's the case, why doesn't he run away?

Is the job of a butler really that attractive?

Even on the verge of death, he was still doing this job.

Upon realizing this, Yu Dazhang shook his head.

No, Lu Kongxin wasn't unwilling to run; rather, he had no need to run at all.

Because he was originally pushed out as a scapegoat.

As a steward, loyalty to his master is paramount, and there's no doubt about that.

Moreover, he's a housekeeper who's been doing this for twenty years; he couldn't have stayed that long without a certain level of loyalty.

Although it's just a hypothesis, Yu Dazhang believes that this is the only logical way to do it.

Then comes the problem.

Why did Zhou Dong commit such a serious crime?
