Chapter 634: One Look and You Know You've Never Met an Online Friend

The term "Beng Old Man" came later, but this kind of behavior had appeared long before.

Don't underestimate these spiritual little sisters, because being a "Beng Old Man" also requires a certain level of skill.

First, you must know how to chat and provide emotional value to the other party.

Many men lose themselves amidst repeated calls of "Brother."

Second, you must know how to seize the right moment.

Asking for money right from the start? Only a fool would give it.

But chatting endlessly raises the time cost, so you must get the other party into the zone quickly, then make your request when they are most carried away.

It is now 2015, and it was at this very point in time that many spiritual little sisters entered the live-streaming industry.

Those who developed well in the live-streaming world were mostly former masters of the "Beng Old Man" craft.

"These must have been found by the Technical Section, right?"

Retrieving chat logs from communication software is definitely work for the Technical Section.

What Yu Dazhang was curious about was: since the investigation had already begun, what kind of accident could still occur?

"Yes," Lv Zhongxin nodded and said:

"Preliminary investigation shows that both disappearance cases share similarities in terms of timing and victim characteristics, so the team has decided to combine the two cases for handling."

Immediately, a trace of helplessness and anger appeared on his face:

"But before the decision to combine the cases could be made, the Criminal Investigation General Team arrived."

"They forcibly took over these two disappearance cases on the grounds that the case is serious; isn't this clearly showing they don't take us seriously?"

It had been quite lively yesterday afternoon... Yu Dazhang didn't think the Criminal Investigation General Team was wrong.

Two consecutive mass disappearance cases definitely fall under the category of major cases; it is normal for the General Team to come and take over.

In fact, the General Team should have taken over that kidnapping case earlier.

Yu Dazhang guessed the General Team was afraid of trouble, so they pretended not to know.

Everyone within the system knows that kidnapping cases are one of the most headache-inducing types of cases, because the hostage's life or death is completely beyond the police's control.

But if something happens to the hostage, whether they are killed for ransom or suffer other harm, the police are often held responsible for incompetent case handling.

Therefore, there is an unwritten rule within the system: whoever a kidnapping case falls to is responsible for investigating it to the end; pushing it outward is impossible.

Of course, outsiders cannot come and take over either.

But these two disappearance cases are different; at present, it cannot be determined why these seven girls went missing.

If they ran away from home together, it would fall under civil cases.

But if it involves crimes such as trafficking or kidnapping, it falls under the category of criminal cases.

"Master, I guess the General Team is quite helpless too."

Yu Dazhang wore a smile:

"Think about it; they didn't even inquire about the kidnapping case, so if they pretend not to know about this case, it would be unreasonable."

"They are known as the scourge of evil, specializing in gnawing on hard bones."

His tone became serious:

"Seven girls disappearing at once; for a case like this, even in a super first-tier city like Songhai, it doesn't happen once in many years."

Thinking of the severity of the case, both master and disciple fell silent again.

Even when gossiping, these two were thinking about the case; this seemed to have become a habit.

For them, as long as they are on duty, solving the case comes first.

"One thing can be confirmed."

After a moment of silence, Lv Zhongxin spoke thoughtfully:

"Those seven girls were definitely not kidnapped."

He immediately gave his reasoning:

"The family conditions of all seven of them are poor; to put it bluntly, in such families, no matter how many you kidnap, it's useless; ransom money simply cannot be extracted."

What if the kidnapper is a fool... Yu Dazhang replied in his heart.

However, this possibility is too low.

Kidnapping is not something just anyone can do; if your brain isn't sharp enough, making a single extortion call will expose you.

"I guess they didn't run away from home either."
