Chapter 11: Shocked the Little Partner Beside Him

Yu Dazhang remembered clearly; in his past life, his mother had been very supportive of his work.

What exactly went wrong in this life?

Why did both parents look as if they were terrified of losing him?

What Yu Dazhang could not figure out most was that he had no memory of gaining weight himself.

This was a body weight of over three hundred jin.

Three feet of ice does not form in a single day; three layers on the belly do not come from a single day of gluttony.

Could this have been eaten up in such a short time?

He had asked his parents many times, but received only vague and ambiguous answers.

"What else could it be? You ate it yourself, of course."

"Don't remember? That's normal too. Everyone eats every day; who can remember every single meal so clearly?"

After being asked too many times, the old couple simply scolded him directly.

As a son, he could not argue with his parents over this matter, so Yu Dazhang had no choice but to obediently shut his mouth.

For the next two days, Yu Dazhang continued his anti-pickpocketing career as usual.

With Master Lu Zhongxin there, he did not need to expend much effort; he just had to follow his master's arrangements.

Lu Zhongxin also took the blame for the incident involving the hostage.

This matter truly had to be shouldered by the master; if it had fallen on Yu Dazhang, he would have received at least a disciplinary action.

Fortunately, Qu Tuotuo did not hold a grudge, and Lu Zhongxin was merely criticized by his superiors a few times.

The First Detachment had been extremely busy these past two days; they heard the brigade had issued a death order to them, demanding they find the person within the deadline.

Yu Dazhang understood; that person was like a bomb to the Qu family, one that might explode at any moment.

Qu Tuotuo had already been kidnapped once.

If anything else happened, Wei Qian, the captain, would definitely be removed from his post, and the entire First Detachment would face disciplinary action.

I should just stick to anti-pickpocketing... Yu Dazhang felt somewhat fortunate now that he worked in the Third Detachment.

In his past life, he was transferred to the First Detachment in the later stages.

If he had not been transferred away, he would not have investigated that serial disappearance case, and thus would not have died.

Two more days passed, and the First Detachment still had no leads.

Through interrogation, it was learned that among the four kidnappers, the two who were injured were the main suspects, while the other two were hired temporarily.

The two in the hospital, no matter how they were questioned, clenched their teeth and said nothing.

Due to the nature of their injuries, there was no way to conduct a sudden interrogation on them.

The other two were quite cooperative, but unfortunately knew very little; they had simply never heard of the person lying in wait at the Qu residence.

Qu Tuotuo could not provide any valuable clues either.

At the airport, the other party had accurately stated her name and claimed to have been sent by her father to pick her up.

The result was that as soon as she got in the car, someone held a pistol to her head.

On the fifth day, the people of the First Detachment could no longer hold on; working under long-term high pressure had taken a toll on their bodies.

After a meeting, the brigade decided to draw personnel from the Second and Third Detachments to provide support.

Yu Dazhang was among them.

This time, the Third Detachment sent five people: Captain Zhang Dong, Lu Zhongxin, and his three apprentices.

Yu Dazhang's task was very simple: to stake out the entrance of the Qu residence with two other newcomers.

This is a common investigative tactic used by criminal police.

Full name: Stakeout and surveillance.

Since the suspect had already been confirmed to be at the Qu residence, police forces had to be arranged to observe the area closely.

This kind of work is generally done by newcomers.

"You two watch first; if anything happens, call me."

Yu Dazhang leaned back against the car seat and closed his eyes to rest.

"On what grounds?" Zhao Hang retorted.

In the entire Criminal Investigation Brigade, the person he disliked the most was Yu Dazhang.

This dead fatso was always picking fights; every time, he was driven half to death by anger.

"On the grounds that my fists are bigger than yours." Yu Dazhang glanced at him:

"I think you need a beating."

In his past life, he had hated Zhao Hang the most; he was lazy, slippery, a sycophant, and loved going to the leaders to tattle.

One moment he would be laughing and talking with you, and the next, turning his back, he could sell you out. Who would have thought he was doing quite well, favored by leaders, with a happy family, and a wife from a wealthy background.

Seeing Yu Dazhang raise his fist, Zhao Hang immediately fell silent.

He knew this fatso was truly daring enough to use force; they had been together during his internship before.

Once, when Zhao Hang was caught tattling by Yu Dazhang, Yu Dazhang had beaten him severely in front of many colleagues.

He lay there for about half an hour; just as Yu Dazhang was dozing off, another newcomer suddenly patted him:

"A car is coming."

Yu Dazhang immediately straightened up and looked toward the main gate.

He saw a luxury business van slowly stop in front of the Qu family villa.

Shortly after, a middle-aged man got out of the driver's seat; he looked to be in his early forties.

Suit, tie, and white gloves; without needing to think, he was definitely the Qu family's dedicated driver.

Those who own luxury cars usually sit in the back row; even if they drive themselves, they do not wear white gloves.

"Looks like someone from the Qu family is about to head out." Yu Dazhang said, staring at the gate.

Please... bookmark... the 6... 9... book....!

He had wanted to continue resting with his eyes closed, but just as he was about to lean back, a movement from the driver caught his attention.

He saw the driver turn his body, facing the Qu family gate with his side, head slightly turned, glancing toward the gate with his peripheral vision.

Yu Dazhang saw it very clearly — that movement made the driver noticeably tense up.

Why would he use that posture to wait for someone at the gate?

Clearly it was the driver's subconscious action, but it was a defensive stance.

As the Qu family's dedicated driver, was there any need to be on guard against his own employer?

Yu Dazhang quickly had his answer.

After confirming no one was at the gate, the driver took out his phone from his suit pocket, tapped a few times, and held it to his ear.

So he's making a call... Yu Dazhang concluded the driver didn't want anyone to overhear the contents of the call, which was why he had subconsciously adopted that defensive posture.

Interesting.

Yu Dazhang focused his attention on the driver's mouth.

They were over thirty meters apart; it was impossible to hear clearly what the other party was saying, even with Yu Dazhang's sharp hearing.

At this point, he could only rely on his eyes to observe.

In his past life, he often used lip-reading to communicate with his colleagues.

For instance, during big meetings, when badmouthing the leadership, when discussing some female officer's looks...

Practice makes perfect.

Yu Dazhang still had some skill in lip-reading — as long as the words or phrases weren't too obscure, he could basically read them with his eyes.

The first sentence the driver said made Yu Dazhang's heart skip a beat.

"I'll bring the person over in a bit, you guys get ready."

Doesn't sound like anything good~

"Control the dosage of the anesthetic well — I watched her grow up, don't you dare take her life..."

Not good!

Yu Dazhang didn't keep watching, because he knew this was enough to make a judgment.

The driver is that acquaintance!

Time was tight. Yu Dazhang immediately took out his phone and called Lu Zhongxin.

The moment the call connected, he said quickly:

"Master, the suspect hidden in the Qu family is their dedicated driver. He's at the Qu family gate right now — bring people over, quick!"

"Are you sure?"

"Tell Captain Wei to notify the people watching at the hospital to use the Qu family driver's name to trick those two suspects — it definitely won't be wrong."

"Understood. I'm heading to you now. Don't take any action on your own before I get there!"

At this moment, Zhao Hang and the other rookie in the car looked at Yu Dazhang as if they were looking at a monster.

What the hell, how can you be so sure it's not wrong?

How did you figure out that driver is the suspect?

You two are in cahoots, aren't you.

Otherwise it doesn't make sense!
