Chapter 557

Yu Dazhang's words were not spoken in vain.

Throughout this pursuit, he discovered that Cheng Wenhao acted with great order.

Setting aside other matters, the mere fact of gathering three hundred thousand in cash within a short time was something an ordinary person could not achieve.

This was under the circumstances of him being pursued.

One must know that when a person is in a state of panic, it is very difficult to concentrate and devise countermeasures.

Even more extraordinary was that Cheng Wenhao's counter-investigation awareness and psychological quality were both extremely formidable.

At Yao Jing's home, he actually managed to restrain himself from calling his parents.

From this point, Cheng Wenhao had already guessed that his parents' phone was being monitored by the police; as long as he made a call, his location would surely be exposed.

Now, even the way he returned home was made flashy and elaborate.

The secret passage Ma Jian mentioned just now, Yu Dazhang felt was very likely to exist.

Children who grew up living in mountain villages basically all have their own secret bases, and these places are secretly connected to their homes.

If no one leads the way, outsiders find it very difficult to discover.

Moreover, there are many civil defense works left behind from those years in the mountains; if one is familiar enough with the terrain, one can indeed deceive everyone.

"Not just these."

Yu Dazhang stared at the map and murmured to himself:

"He must have other schemes."

Other schemes?

Hearing these words, the three people in the room cast questioning glances at him.

Even Lu Zhongxin, who had not spoken until now, could not help but speak up this time:

"It's not that complicated, right? Regardless, Cheng Wenhao's destination now leaves only one; as long as we block him at home, this prison break case will be considered over."

No... Yu Dazhang said nothing, merely shaking his head silently.

After a moment, he asked:

"What about the money?"

Lu Zhongxin suddenly did not understand and asked in return:

"What money?"

"The three hundred thousand Cheng Wenhao gathered." Yu Dazhang slowly turned around, looking at his master and the others:

"His primary purpose in returning home is not to catch up with his parents, but to leave the thirty thousand that Yao Jing tricked away from him earlier for them."

He paused slightly, as if giving everyone some time to think about the information implied in this sentence.

After a while, he continued speaking:

"But have you considered that the nature of that sum of money has now changed? Even if Cheng Wenhao brings the money home, the police will absolutely not stand idly by; they will definitely treat it as stolen funds."

Yu Dazhang stared at them and asked word by word:

"Would Cheng Wenhao not think of this point?"

"All signs now indicate that this person is not stupid, or rather, this is someone good at using his brain."

"Since he can think of this point, how should he solve this problem?"

Reasoning is selecting the one that fits logic best from a series of hypotheses.

Is there a shortcut?

Of course there is.

Thinking from another's perspective is a shortcut.

However, very few people are good at taking this shortcut.

Human thinking differs; being able to think through a problem completely following the other person's train of thought requires a very high IQ to accomplish.

Just like now.

Everyone in the room knew that thinking from another's perspective was required at this moment, to think about this problem from Cheng Wenhao's perspective.

Unfortunately, only one person could do it.

"If I were Cheng Wenhao..."

Yu Dazhang's eyes lost focus, staring blankly at some spot ahead, murmuring to himself:

"Bringing the money home directly is definitely not an option; since the police know about this sum, they will surely conduct a search."
