Chapter 621: The Same Group

Yes, that's exactly it.

Both shrewd and brutal.

It also gives people a very urgent feeling.

In the trafficking cases handled by Captain Xu, the traffickers basically adopted a one-on-one or many-on-one modus operandi.

Because only that is the safest.

If there are two people on the other side, for the traffickers, the situation becomes much more complicated, and the risk increases by at least three times.

He had never seen a trafficker who, by himself, abducted multiple people from the other side.

But this case gave Captain Xu the feeling that the traffickers had hired people and played a big hand.

And the only possibility that could make traffickers dare to take such a huge risk is one.

"There is enough profit."

Captain Xu came to his senses and subconsciously wanted to take a puff, but found the cigarette had burned down to the root.

He threw the butt on the ground, stomped it out with his foot, and then relit a new one.

"It must be like this."

He took a deep drag, and amidst the swirling smoke, his expression gradually grew heavy:

"As long as a case is related to traffickers, it must involve money, because the traffickers' ultimate goal is to exchange people for money."

Captain Xu paused, took another fierce drag, and then continued to mutter to himself:

"Looking for them one by one would require fourteen crimes, but hijacking a school bus requires only one crime; the efficiency is higher, and the profit is greater."

His speech speed grew faster and faster, as if he became more and more confident in his analysis:

"Looking at it this way, this is an urgent job, indicating that this opportunity is very rare, so the suspect made up his mind to pull off a big one."

Unknowingly, Captain Xu finished another cigarette.

He crushed the butt, and just as he was about to get up and go to the interrogation room, the phone in his pocket rang.

He took out his mobile phone and first glanced at the caller ID.

An unknown number?

And it was a phone number from another province.

After answering, he placed the phone to his ear.

"Hello, who is this?"

"May I ask if this is Captain Xu from the Provincial Department?"

The person on the other end of the phone spoke very politely, and his voice was full of magnetism; one could tell immediately it was a mature male with great confidence.

A colleague within the system?

Captain Xu immediately made a judgment and became fully alert.

"It is me," he introduced himself:

"I am the Deputy Captain of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Provincial Department."

He had only recently adapted to this new position.

Since the Broken Finger Case was solved, he not only gained merit but also received a promotion.

For someone who had struggled in the field of criminal investigation for half a lifetime, holding a key position in the Corps was undoubtedly a high recognition of his ability and experience.

Of course, a certain amount of luck was also needed.

How the Broken Finger Case was solved, he naturally had a clear idea in his heart.

"My name is Hua Kaiquan."

Captain Hua on the other end of the phone did not beat around the bush and directly gave his name:

"I am from the Criminal Investigation Corps of Province N, and my position is the same as yours; I am also the Deputy Captain."

After both introduced themselves, their relationship unconsciously grew much closer.

First, they were both within the system, and both were in the criminal investigation department.

Second, their positions were the same, which also unconsciously narrowed the distance between them.

Same department, same position; naturally, there were more common topics.

"Here is the situation: I have queried that a mass disappearance case recently occurred in your area."

Captain Hua continued to explain his purpose:

"I also have a case on hand that shares similarities with your mass disappearance case in many aspects."
