Chapter 649

On the road.

"Investigation is complete. The residence is on the second floor, with a north-south through layout, windows on both sides, and no security bars visible from the outside."

An officer was reporting to Yu Dazhang:

"We have contacted the neighborhood committee to handle the door knocking, and the lockpicker is already rushing over."

Calling the neighborhood committee for every problem is a bad habit that must be changed quickly... Yu Dazhang did not believe the neighborhood committee had an obligation to assist the police in case handling.

Especially in dangerous operations involving arrests.

If an auntie gets hurt, who will take responsibility?

Keep in mind, the neighborhood committee is a grassroots mass self-governance organization, not an administrative body, lacking law enforcement power and corresponding protective measures.

"No need to trouble the neighborhood committee; prepare the breaching tool directly."

Yu Dazhang said in a deep voice:

"The human trafficker we are chasing has been hiding in this city for years; tricks like the neighborhood committee knocking on the door won't fool him."

When he heard the description of the house layout and floor, he had already guessed Xie Wei's thinking.

If he rented the first floor, it would be catching a turtle in a jar; the police could easily enter the room through the windows.

And the third floor is too dangerous; if he chose to jump to escape, it would be tantamount to suicide.

At such a height, even if he miraculously survived, he would certainly be injured.

Relatively speaking, the second floor height is just right.

This height neither allows the police to enter the room easily nor denies him a relatively safe opportunity to jump out the window and escape.

However, if the police have sufficient manpower, no matter which floor, it is catching a turtle in a jar.

Below a residential building.

"Five people to the front window, five to the back."

Yu Dazhang issued orders to the officers:

"The rest go upstairs; let the lockpicker try to open the door first. If there is any movement, breach immediately."

The special task force here, including the newly arrived reinforcements, totals seventeen people; manpower is very sufficient.

Moreover, these are all officers from the provincial department; not a single rookie, every one an experienced criminal investigator.

At his command, the officers moved immediately.

Yu Dazhang stood below, staring at the second-floor window.

With manpower this sufficient, there was no need for him to lead from the front.

Soon, the sound of metal striking metal came from the second floor.

Yu Dazhang felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He could tell it was the breaching tool hitting the door lock, meaning someone was inside.

Immediately after, he saw a person approach the second-floor window and look down through it.

Xie Wei!

Yu Dazhang recognized him at a glance; the moment the other man saw him, he raised his hand and waved.

The gesture looked both like a greeting and like an urging to give up resistance.

There was no suspense left.

Before arriving, Yu Dazhang had already decided that the biggest difficulty in this arrest operation was Xie Wei not being home.

As long as he was there, escape was basically impossible.

More than a dozen armed criminal investigators catching a human trafficker was about the same as using a cannon to swat a mosquito.

Moreover, with such a sudden surprise attack, Xie Wei had no time to react.

Sure enough, in less than five minutes, Xie Wei was escorted down by the provincial department officers.

Let alone jumping out the window to escape; from start to finish, he didn't even open the window.

Police were stationed at both front and back windows, and the main door had been breached; he had no choice but to surrender.

"This is his knife."

An officer extended his hand toward Yu Dazhang, a dagger resting in his palm.

Yu Dazhang did not take it; instead, he frowned and asked:

"Did he try to resist?"

Facing a gun with a knife? He thought Xie Wei was not so stupid.
