Chapter 690: Time Is Extremely Tight

The reason is simple: the other side no longer has such a huge demand.

The bathhouse is merely a hideout for concealing people.

To put it bluntly, it is a warehouse for storing people.

When the other side has a need, they will come to this warehouse to pick up people, taking as many as they require.

Since mid-December last year, this warehouse has been in a state of supply falling short of demand.

Until last month, the warehouse reached full capacity.

In Yu Dazhang's view, the reasons for it reaching full capacity boil down to two points:

1, The acquisition volume has increased.

This nationwide acquisition, after fermenting for several months, has spread more and more widely among the human traffickers, and the number of participants has grown accordingly.

This has also led to a sharp surge in the number of abducted women.

2, The demand side has temporarily reached saturation.

At the very beginning, the other side offered sky-high prices to acquire women because of urgent need, but as personnel continued to be supplied, their demand gradually decreased.

And now it has reached a relatively saturated state.

Only when these two situations occur simultaneously will the bathhouse, this warehouse for concealing people, experience a full-capacity phenomenon.

Across the entire country, there is absolutely not just this one warehouse in Xicheng.

And once all the warehouses are in a full-capacity state, the acquisitions will naturally cease.

Zhang Jiangke and the others are not stupid; as the number of abducted people increases, the police will pay closer attention, and at that time, they will have no choice but to stop.

From now on, time is extremely tight!

It was only at this moment that Yu Dazhang realized that this case had actually entered its final stages.

Whether it is the acquiring side or Zhang Jiangke, they have all prepared to stop.

Staring at the young man on the surveillance screen, Yu Dazhang hesitated for a moment, then stood up and left the observation room.

Making his way to the interrogation room, he pushed the door open, nodded to the officer who was interrogating, and entered.

The officer understood, stood up, and yielded the seat.

Yu Dazhang did not stand on ceremony; after sitting down, he went straight to the point:

"Where were those abducted women sent?"

He knew the other side could not answer this question, but he still had to ask it.

Even if the other side did not know, they would provide some relevant explanations or clues.

"I am only responsible for guarding them at the bathhouse; I really do not know where they go next."

The young man's expression was somewhat dejected:

"Moreover, every time they left, they were picked up by vehicles; the bathhouse side never actively sent them off."

This was about what Yu Dazhang had expected.

Using the method of picking people up is certainly more secure than sending them off.

By doing this, even if the police raided the bathhouse, the clues would be cut off there, because the people at the bathhouse did not know the next stop either.

However...

As long as the two sides have contact, traces will inevitably be left.

"Do you still remember the time of the last pickup?" Yu Dazhang asked.

The young man across from him thought for a moment, then replied:

"The most recent one was four days ago; four vehicles came and picked up twenty people."

"Among those women picked up at that time, ten were under my guard, and I escorted them all the way down to the ground floor."

After a pause, he added:

"By the way, every time the other side came to pick up people, they boarded the vehicles at the back door of the bathhouse; there are no surveillance cameras there, and since it is not a main road, there are very few vehicles and pedestrians on the road."

Yu Dazhang's purpose in asking this was to shorten the time spent checking surveillance footage.

Now, it is even better; there is no need to check the surveillance footage at all.

The back door probably has no surveillance cameras installed to prevent leaving clues for the police.
