Chapter 637: Some People Are Destined Not to Be Low-Key

I'm familiar with both of these provinces... In the past year, Yu Dazhang has only traveled on official business to these two places.

First, he went to S Province to handle the severed-finger case.

Immediately after, he went to N Province to investigate the slavery case.

What a coincidence; the personnel coming to Songhai to handle the case happen to be from these two provinces.

"Is the case in S Province the one where more than ten female students were kidnapped?"

Yu Dazhang suddenly remembered that before the kidnapping case, his master had mentioned a major case in S Province, and the two of them had studied the details of the case at that time.

"It should be."

Li Jun nodded and said:

"I also heard about that case; it is said that fourteen deaf-mute female students were taken away by a school bus and then went missing."

"It's unclear if it's that case, but one thing is certain: this case has not yet been solved."

Then it must be... Yu Dazhang calculated in his mind.

Mass disappearance, female, young age, similar time of occurrence...

Just from these similarities, it is highly likely that there is some connection between these cases.

What case is it in N Province? Could it also be a mass disappearance case?

Yu Dazhang couldn't quite figure it out; N Province is so far from Songhai, how did they find their way here so quickly?

And they came together with the team from S Province.

Or perhaps, those two provinces had already merged the cases for investigation long ago?

"Captain Li."

Yu Dazhang confirmed again:

"Did you just say that one special task force came from S Province and another from N Province?"

"That's right." Li Jun answered with a definite tone:

"I saw them at the Municipal Bureau yesterday; I greeted both sides, and one of the team leaders had actually come to our branch bureau to find you before."

Found me? Yu Dazhang searched his mind and quickly identified who that person was.

Captain Xu.

Previously, he had brought the wrongfully accused victims of the severed-finger case to the branch bureau to present a banner to him.

After confirming this, Yu Dazhang was even more confused.

Two special task forces, investigating the case together?

What kind of arrangement is this?

I've never seen it before.

If it could be confirmed that the cases were committed by the same group, both sides could simply merge the cases for handling, designate jurisdiction, and assign it to one special task force.

But the current situation is that both sides have established their own special task forces, yet they are mixing together to investigate the case.

Quite willful.

This is the first time Yu Dazhang has seen cases handled this way; he hasn't seen it in two lifetimes.

Don't the leaders on both sides manage this?

To put it mildly, now that they have come to Songhai, that means...

Three special task forces mixing together to handle the case?

Thinking of this, Yu Dazhang looked up at Li Jun.

Li Jun obviously thought of this layer as well and shook his head at him:

"I'm not clear on the specific situation; it should be that the case is too complex, and the connection between the cases cannot be determined for the time being, so an investigation period is needed before deciding whether to merge the cases."

This explanation seems reasonable on the surface, but Yu Dazhang does not think so.

He knows Captain Xu; after all, they once worked together.

He is an old criminal police officer with twenty years of service; based on this person's intellect and investigative experience, he should have judged long ago whether the cases could be merged.

As for the N Province side, although he doesn't know who is leading, for such a major case, even if Captain Hua isn't personally investigating it, it must be handled by Qi Fang.

Whichever of these two it is, both are capable of making correct decisions.

Since that is the case, and the cases still haven't been merged, there is only one possibility left.

Neither side wants to easily hand over such a major case to the other's hands.

Therefore, although it appears to be a joint investigation on the surface, in reality, neither side submits to the other, and neither wants to lose initiative.
