Chapter 689: No Cunning Fox Can Outwit a Good Hunter

Is that Zhang Jiangke already in Songhai?

This sudden news left Captain Hua momentarily dazed, the phone in his hand nearly slipping to the floor.

That doesn't sound right.

He said Zhang Jiangke checked into a hotel in Beijing three days ago.

Since he said that, it means Zhang Jiangke has not checked out yet.

Then how did he determine Zhang Jiangke is in Songhai?

Where is the logic?

Big brother, if you chat like this, I can't keep up with your pace... Captain Hua tried to ask several times but held back.

He, a criminal investigator with over ten years on the force, who climbed step by step to where he is today, now having to ask a newcomer how to handle a case, was truly something he found hard to bring up.

Seeing the silence on the other end, Yu Dazhang immediately guessed his thoughts.

So without waiting for Captain Hua to ask, he took the initiative to explain:

"Assuming the hotel check-in record was deliberately arranged by Zhang Jiangke, he certainly wouldn't go check out in person after checking in."

"Otherwise, this trap would be meaningless; the police could have arrested him the moment he checked out."

He paused slightly, then continued:

"If he could think of setting a trap, he would certainly think of this layer."

"Besides, checking out doesn't require the person themselves; just taking the room card to the front desk is enough."

"Therefore, for Zhang Jiangke, the safest course of action would be to check into a hotel in Beijing and immediately set off for Songhai."

Yu Dazhang's speaking speed gradually increased:

"This way, he could create a dislocated piece of information, making the police mistakenly believe he is still in Beijing, thereby misleading the direction of the police investigation."

"At the same time, this ensures he remains in a safe state."

After the explanation, the other end fell completely silent.

Yu Dazhang could even no longer hear the breathing on the other end.

At this moment, Captain Hua's brain was running at high speed.

He actually understood.

It's just...

Could it be like this?

Could a human trafficker be cunning to this extent?

Not only setting a trap for the police, but also using dislocated information to mislead the direction of the police investigation?

No, that is not the most terrifying part.

The terrifying part is that the fat man on the other end of the phone actually deduced all of this.

No matter how cunning the fox, it cannot outwit a good hunter... This sentence inexplicably popped into Captain Hua's mind.

But among the people he knows, there seem to be very few who could be considered good hunters.

"Then..."

Captain Hua asked cautiously:

"What should we do next?"

He had no choice but to ask.

After a mental storm, he already felt his brain wasn't enough; it wasn't that he wasn't sharp enough, but it depended on who he was compared to.

Captain Hua had to admit that when handling cases with Yu Dazhang, using one's brain was the most superfluous thing.

Moreover, he couldn't think of how the police should track Zhang Jiangke under these circumstances.

"Go investigate those small inns that don't require ID cards."

Yu Dazhang took a deep breath and said:

"Zhang Jiangke, at his age, has suffered hardships and is very enterprising; otherwise, he wouldn't have put down roots in Old Burma."

"So his adaptability is very strong; even harsh living environments mean nothing to him."

He paused, then continued analyzing:

"This way, those black inns that don't require ID cards become his first choice."

"From his past hotel check-in records, it can be seen that he is someone who likes to change locations after one shot; the hotels he stays in are basically never repeated."

"And those small inns happen to satisfy this requirement of his."

Yu Dazhang's voice became increasingly firm:

"Moreover, he is confident the police won't see through his plan; as long as we don't trigger his trap on our end, he won't easily run away."
