Chapter 222: You Really Think I Have No Temper?

The last one was a trace evidence expert from the Provincial Department.

He was the oldest among them, appearing to be over fifty.

He wore a crisp suit, held a black leather briefcase in his hand, always wore a smile on his face, and had very bright eyes.

Before they arrived, Yu Dazhang had gone to the First Brigade to get a preliminary understanding of the case.

This included reviewing the surveillance video.

In the video, a sedan suddenly blocked the victim's path.

A man wearing a hood stepped out of the driver's seat and knocked the victim unconscious with a single close-range blow.

Judging by the movements, this man had undergone systematic training; his strikes were extremely clean and decisive.

From stopping the car to intercept, until dragging the person into the vehicle and taking them away, the entire process took exactly twenty-two seconds.

Moreover, the criminal had no accomplices; everything was carried out independently by one person.

It looked simple and crude on the surface, but was actually smooth as flowing clouds, with not the slightest sense of stagnation.

In Yu Dazhang's view, he was like a precision machine, having calculated every detail in advance without revealing any flaw.

"Sorry to trouble you all." Ding Feng nodded to Yu Dazhang and the other two, speaking politely.

His words were very polite, but his expression remained as serious as ever, as if he was naturally incapable of smiling.

This made his face appear even more striking.

"No need to be polite." Yu Dazhang was very enthusiastic, with a warm smile on his face:

"If you need anything, just ask directly; we will cooperate fully."

While he spoke, his eyes were glancing at the sketch artist.

During the introduction just now, he had remembered this person's name: Xia Bin.

Due to the nature of his profession, he was especially interested in people who possessed such special skills.

Although the branch bureau had a simulation sketch artist, their skill level was very limited.

If the suspect was not described very clearly, the resulting portrait would differ greatly from the actual person.

Having the opportunity to meet a sketch artist of this caliber, Yu Dazhang considered it a rare chance.

"Then let's not waste time and go see the crime scene."

Ding Feng really didn't stand on ceremony and gave the order directly.

Yu Dazhang and Li Jun exchanged a glance with their eyes, then said to Ding Feng:

"Alright, I will lead the way."

Regarding the road sections in Hongkou District, Yu Dazhang was naturally much more familiar with them than they were.

When he watched the surveillance footage earlier, he had already memorized the location of the incident.

Upon arriving at the road section where the incident occurred, Ding Feng and the other two got busy.

Yu Dazhang, meanwhile, asked Ma Jian and Liu Miao to cooperate with them in examining the scene.

Actually, there was nothing much left to see at this scene.

Four days ago, the technical section of the branch bureau had already conducted an examination.

Instead of looking at the ready-made examination report, they insisted on coming here to inspect personally, clearly showing they did not trust the technical investigation personnel of the branch bureau.

Yu Dazhang also understood their approach.

After all, since a trace evidence expert from the Provincial Department had come, if they didn't come to the scene for a field examination, wouldn't that mean they came for nothing?

With an attitude of learning, Yu Dazhang also watched seriously from the side.

Comparing with the surveillance footage, reconstructing the parking position at that time, Ding Feng even simulated the scene when the victim was attacked.

It must be said, the degree of restoration was extremely high.

Even the posture of falling to the ground was exactly the same.

Watching Ding Feng lie seriously on his side on the ground with his legs spread wide in a star shape, Yu Dazhang unkindly smiled.

He turned around, lowered his head, and bit his lip hard, afraid he might laugh out loud.

The people from the Provincial Department are indeed professional... Yu Dazhang couldn't help but feel ashamed.

If it were him, he could manage to lie on the ground in such a posture.

But he would definitely feel embarrassed and absolutely could not be as natural as Ding Feng.

At the same time, he also realized something.

The few people who came from the Provincial Department simply did not take them seriously.

On the surface they were polite, but there was no substantive exchange.

Ding Feng was even unwilling to waste breath giving the most basic case introduction.

Obviously, they did not intend to let Yu Dazhang and the others get involved in the investigation.

Yu Dazhang did not mind this.

He had no intention of investigating this case anyway, and S Province had already started the investigation; it should be their responsibility to see it through to the end. The examination continued until night, only ending when the streetlights turned on.

During this period, Yu Dazhang took the opportunity to chat a few words with the sketch artist named Xia Bin.

Knowing the other person smoked, he secretly slipped a pack of Huazi cigarettes to him.

Probably having never enjoyed such treatment before, Xia Bin felt a bit embarrassed but accepted it.

"Captain Ding, if you don't mind, how about I arrange dinner?"

A guest from afar is a guest; Yu Dazhang was happy to fulfill his duties as a host.

Moreover, he was now representing the entire Hongkou Branch Bureau; being too stingy would inevitably make people look down on them.

"We appreciate the gesture." Ding Feng refused:

"We'll just go to the branch bureau's cafeteria and grab a bite."

The voice was a bit cold, but still polite.

No errors, one sentence, one release, one content, one look!

Yu Dazhang could tell the other party was intentionally keeping their distance from his side.

People have different personalities.

He had seen people like Ding Feng, who were somewhat rigid, more than once before.

His own master, Lu Zhongxin, was just like that.

However, in matters of human relations and worldly wisdom, his master was not too clumsy, at least better than this person.

"Fine." Yu Dazhang did not press further:

"Then I will take you to the cafeteria."

After leading them to the cafeteria, Yu Dazhang took his leave.

Since the other party did not want excessive contact with his side, there was no need to invite embarrassment.

Besides, going home to eat his mother's cooking was far more comfortable than getting food in the cafeteria.

As he was leaving, Ding Feng suddenly called out to Yu Dazhang:

"You don't need to follow us tomorrow; we are used to handling cases among ourselves. I hope you can understand."

Hearing this, Yu Dazhang paused for a moment.

That was said a bit impolitely.

What do you mean by "follow us"?

So we helped and ended up doing something wrong? We accompanied you to inspect the scene this afternoon, and we just caused trouble, right?

"It was the branch bureau leadership who ordered us to cooperate with your case handling."

Yu Dazhang suppressed his anger and explained:

"If you feel cooperation is unnecessary, you can directly propose it to our leadership; he will certainly agree."

This time, his words also carried a sting.

If someone respects me by a foot, I return a yard.

But that did not mean Yu Dazhang had no temper.

A complete falling out was unnecessary, but expressing dissatisfaction was acceptable.

"That is not the case." Seeing Yu Dazhang's face darken, Ding Feng immediately waved his hand and said:

"Since we have come to Songhai, we certainly need the cooperation of local colleagues; you misunderstood my meaning."

He clearly understood the stakes; if they truly had an unpleasant conflict with the local police, it would be of no benefit whatsoever to the case.

If an arrest was needed, they would also have to rely on the help of the local police.

So he could only patiently explain to Yu Dazhang:

"What I mean is, you can fully investigate another line of inquiry; there is no need to be with us, and investigating separately can also improve case-handling efficiency."

Another line of inquiry?

Yu Dazhang did not understand his meaning.

Besides tracking down the criminal, did this case have other investigative directions?

After Ding Feng said that, he actually became interested.

"I don't know what aspect you are referring to with this 'other line of inquiry'?"

Yu Dazhang's tone softened,

and at this moment, he was asking with a sincere attitude of seeking instruction.

"You can fully start investigating from the victim's side." Ding Feng said with a serious expression:

"Isn't that just a ready-made investigative direction?"

Hearing this, Yu Dazhang almost couldn't hold back his cursing.

Wasn't this just talking nonsense in a serious manner?

Is there any need to investigate the victim?

The person has gone mad; how do you tell me to investigate?
