Chapter 72 Are you questioning the criminal police’s ability to handle cases?

steal?
When he was asked to steal, Zhang Sen couldn’t help but shrink back.

This has nothing to do with whether you dare or not, the problem is that you have never done such a thing.

If he asked for it openly, he would have no psychological burden.

But stealing is not allowed. A thief’s guilty conscience is not just talk, it’s real fear.

He glared at Yu Dazhang:

“Why don’t you go?”

“Come, take a look at my body shape.” Yu Dazhang stood up and pointed at his belly:

“It’s hard for someone like me to even bend over. It would be difficult for me to do stealth missions.”

He is quite self-aware… Zhang Sen looked at his big belly and it was indeed not suitable.

The word “sneak” is well used, it sounds much better than “steal”.

Seeing that Zhang Sen was still hesitating, Yu Dazhang quickly added:

“Later, go and quietly borrow the book and return it after we finish reading it.”

Although the meaning is the same, the previous words sound much more comfortable after artistic processing.

Comrade Zhang Sen nodded.

If you had said this earlier, I wouldn’t have argued with you.

“Then let’s rest first.” Zhang Sen compromised, lay down on the other bed and closed his eyes.

Ten p.m.

The two men noticed that the lights on the farmhouse corridor were off.

Zhang Sen turned over and sat up, whispering:
“It’s only ten o’clock, why did you turn off the lights so early?”

“Don’t you even look at where we are?” Yu Dazhang simply didn’t get up, but just tilted his head:

“Generally, in such remote villages, there is not much entertainment at night, and many local residents turn off the lights and go to bed after 8 o’clock.”

Zhang Sen felt that his words were a bit exaggerated and could not help but refute:

“Can you sleep? Aren’t young people nowadays just lying in bed playing with their phones?”

In 2014, short videos were just emerging and mobile games were at their peak, and WeChat also became truly popular that year.

There are various APPs.

It was also in this year that the group of “phone-down people” emerged in large numbers.

The following year, urban phone-dwellers became a group with a high incidence of spinal cord injuries.

The reason why Zhang Sen raised this question is that online fraud also began to emerge in this year.

“I said the same thing again. Why don’t you look at where we are?” Yu Dazhang lay on his side on the bed, half-opening his eyes, looking as if he was half asleep:

“How many young people today stay in the countryside? It’s 2014 now, and this society is no longer an agricultural one.”

Zhang Sen nodded when he heard this:
“No wonder when I first entered the village, I saw many children playing but no parents. It turns out they were all left-behind children.”

After the two chatted for a while, they tacitly shut up and fell silent.

Another hour passed.

“Almost done.” Yu Dazhang sat up from the bed and whispered:
“It’s past eleven. The people at the door must be asleep. Go ahead.”

“Okay.” Zhang Sen agreed, got out of bed quietly and walked to the door.

I pulled on the door, but it didn’t open.

Only then did he realize that his hand on the door handle was trembling slightly.

My legs also felt a little weak.

He gritted his teeth, took a few deep breaths, and then turned the door handle hard.

After seeing him go out, Yu Dazhang prayed silently in his heart.

Brother Sen, I wish you peace.

He asked Zhang Sen to do this out of helplessness.

Both of the two experienced detectives were caught. Their true identities must have been discovered at some point in the process.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, all investigation activities must be based on one premise: the true identity cannot be revealed.

About five minutes passed.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Zhang Sen walked in carefully with a notebook in his hand and closed the door. “Why are you sweating?” Yu Dazhang asked in a low voice.

“Nonsense, you’ll know if you try it.” Zhang Sen put the notebook on the table in the room and then found a chair to sit down:
“Petite theft is not a job for human beings.”

“You’ll get used to it.” Yu Dazhang replied casually.

What are these words?

Zhang Sen glared at him.

At this moment, Yu Dazhang’s attention was all on the notebook.

He took out the case materials from his bag, spread them out on the table, and first found the identity information of the two missing police officers.

After memorizing the last six digits of the two people’s ID numbers, he began to check them one by one in the notebook.

There is no last page, keep turning the pages.

Two pages, three pages…

When he turned to the fourth page, he finally found the registration information of the two police officers.

“It’s quite detailed.” Yu Dazhang muttered to himself and then pointed it to Zhang Sen.

The two people’s registration information is next to each other, and the date is also marked on the top of the book.

“Four days ago!” Zhang Sen quickly discovered something was wrong:

“Today is the third day since they lost contact. Actually, they lost contact on the second day after they stayed at this B&B.”

“So it took them more than a week to investigate here?”

In Zhang Sen’s opinion, this process has dragged on for too long.

After all, it only took him and Yu Dazhang two hours to get here.

Are you questioning the ability of the criminal police of the detachment to handle cases? Yu Dazhang glanced at him with dissatisfaction in his eyes:

“It’s been sixteen years since that abduction case, so it’s rare to find new clues.”

“We were able to get here so quickly because we followed their route.”

“If we start from scratch, we may not even find any new clues.”

This was the second time Yu Dazhang noticed that Zhang Sen was a little impatient.

It was as if he was worried about something.

Even if the man and the gun cannot be found in the end, the responsibility will not fall on Zhang Sen.

Yu Dazhang really didn’t understand his mentality at the moment.

Is it because he is eager to make a contribution?
This possibility cannot be ruled out… Although Yu Dazhang disagrees, he understands it.

It’s human nature.

“Let’s go.”

He stood up, glanced at Zhang Sen who was hesitant to speak, and then put the documents on the table back into his bag.

“Let’s go?” Zhang Sen asked doubtfully:

“It’s so late, where are you going?”

“Next stop. I never thought of spending the night here.” Yu Dazhang said as he picked up the notebook on the table.

He tore off the page with his and Zhang Sen’s identity information, crumpled it up and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

Then he cleaned up the paper scraps bit by bit until no trace was left.

After finishing all this, Yu Dazhang handed the notebook to Zhang Sen:

“When you go out later, put it back where you took it.”

“Okay.” Zhang Sen agreed and took the notebook.

After checking the room again and making sure nothing was left out, the two tiptoed out of the room.

When passing by the door, Zhang Sen opened the notebook to the page with registration information, and then gently placed it on the counter.

After taking another look at the boss who was sleeping behind the counter and making sure he would not wake up, the two of them walked out of the farmyard quietly.

Arriving in the car, Zhang Sen let out a long sigh and then asked:
“Or should we drive southeast?”

“Yes.” Yu Dazhang took out his mobile phone and clicked on the electronic map:

“Drive for another half an hour, then we’ll find a place to park and rest in the car for the rest of the night.”
