Chapter 646: Suffering and Joy Together

Since you want Public Security to help, you must be completely honest.

Besides, Yu Dazhang did not think this matter could be kept hidden.

Rather than letting Public Security find out, it is better to speak the truth directly; this way, everyone is at ease.

"So that is how it is."

The Ye Lin on the other end sounded fully awake, her voice returning to its usual calm tone:

"I also know a bit about your previous disappearance; at that time, the team leader even had people investigate, but later no useful clues were found."

Immediately, her tone became somewhat surprised:

"I did not expect you had already found the relevant suspects."

"Send me the photos; I will help with this matter to the end. Team Leader Li said that as long as it concerns you, our team will help."

Your team? Yu Dazhang felt her words were somewhat awkward.

He had asked her for help, yet she immediately dragged it over to the Action Team.

It felt a bit like deliberately distancing the relationship.

No.

She did not want to distance the relationship; rather, she wanted to make this help more formal, after all, helping privately in such matters would inevitably be misunderstood as abusing power for personal gain.

"Then it is troublesome."

Yu Dazhang did not point it out; instead, he chose to go with the flow, pretending to know nothing.

After ending the call, he sent the four photos to Ye Lin one by one.

A moment later, Ye Lin sent a reply.

【Who drew these? Portrait artists of this level are extremely rare on our side.】

He really knows his stuff... Yu Dazhang naturally could not leak Xia Bin's information; what if Public Security poached him?

Even if poaching, he must be the one to do the poaching.

【We can grab a whole handful of this level; it's just a few portraits; anyone with hands can do it.】

How to politely refuse the other party while leaving no trace?

The most useful method is just one: humblebragging.

There is an iron law in this world: bragging will definitely annoy people.

Sure enough, after he sent this message, Ye Lin never replied again.

The next day.

Nine o'clock in the morning, Xicheng City Public Security Bureau.

In the temporary office of the Criminal Investigation Detachment.

"These are the materials returned by the technical department; the identities of those five people have all been found."

Captain Xu held a document and reported to Yu Dazhang:

"They are all migrant workers from other provinces who came to Xicheng; previously they all worked in security at the same club; two months ago, the club went bankrupt due to poor management; since then, they have been unemployed."

"After in-depth investigation, the five of them bought train tickets to Jin Ling after the incident, and then checked into a hotel in Jin Ling."

When he said this, his voice suddenly became excited, and his volume unconsciously increased a bit:

"According to the latest information, as of today, they still have no checkout records."

They have been abandoned... Yu Dazhang immediately drew this conclusion.

That Old Four never treated these five people as his own people.

Otherwise, they would not have so blatantly bought tickets to Jin Ling and checked into a hotel using their ID cards; this is no different from walking into a trap.

Or does Old Four think the police will not learn their identities?

No.

Given Old Four's cautious and meticulous personality, he would not harbor such a wishful, lucky-break mentality.

Moreover, he originally advised the school bus driver to hide for a year, indicating he had long predicted the police would use identity information for tracking.

Looking at it this way, that Old Four treated these five people as expendable pawns from the very beginning.

It belongs to the type of relationship where they cooperate once, then go their separate ways.

"Contact the local police and coordinate the arrest."

Yu Dazhang ordered Captain Xu:

"You personally lead people; after catching them, bring them back to Xicheng for interrogation."

Wherever the crime was committed, bring them back to that place for detention; this also facilitates later investigation.
