His speed and endurance are top-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh~ lately I heard his nickname changed to “Ride Sen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Sen, I need you,” Yu Dazhang said with sincere expression, looking at Zhang Sen:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe if we work together, we’ll crack this case.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?” Zhang Sen said skeptically, fearing this fat man had other intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was true, he’d be willing to team up with Yu Dazhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Word’s gotten around the bureau lately—this new guy has performed exceptionally and was promoted beyond rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who wouldn’t want to partner with a colleague who’s outstanding? In 2014, a new term emerged: “Ask to be carried.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people rushed to find such people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they truly solved the case and found both the person and the guns, it would be an enormous achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only concern is this kid has a habit: at critical moments, he likes to ride people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even rode his own nickname “Little Cheetah” right out of existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You forgot?” Yu Dazhang leaned closer and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t we work together quite smoothly last time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You fucking—” At the mention of it, Zhang Sen’s eyes widened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there weren’t so many people around, he’d have punched this fat man twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking the wrong moment to bring it up—intentional, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also noticed colleagues around him staring with envy and jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason goes without saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t ever do that again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scolded sharply, then stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Yu Dazhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team assignment took only two minutes; with Wei Qian’s order, everyone immediately moved into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, Lu Zhongxin pulled Yu Dazhang aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve been issued a sidearm now—I need to tell you something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next words seemed hard to say, but they had to be said; Lu Zhongxin paused for two seconds before continuing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When your life is threatened, never hesitate—laws and regulations mean nothing at that moment…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, I understand,” Yu Dazhang interrupted immediately:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Raise the gun and shoot—shoot and you live.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now found it slightly ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His master had warned him about this in his past life—not just once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he still died because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some mistakes can truly only be made once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s heard “Mercy doesn’t command troops, righteousness doesn’t manage wealth”—but there are two more lines after that… Emotion doesn’t establish affairs, kindness doesn’t serve in law enforcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right—overly kind people aren’t suited for police work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because kindness appears as laughable cowardice to criminals, making it hard to handle complex criminal situations and diverse offenders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s a video online of a real drug bust—you can still find it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the video, police surrounded a suspect’s car and subdued the drug dealer fleeing from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One narcotics officer found a pregnant woman in the back seat and immediately ordered her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pregnant woman screamed, “Don’t point your gun at me—I’m scared!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer actually lowered his gun and softened his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the woman reached behind her, pulled out a gun, and aimed it at him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Yu Dazhang won’t be as indecisive as he was in his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making the same mistake twice isn’t a mistake anymore—it’s a choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This life, he’ll be Niu Gulu·Yu Dazhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Criminal Investigation Unit, the two drove to an industrial park on the city’s outskirts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Zhou Hongfu’s tip, in 1998, construction had just begun here—he met Zhou Zizhe while working as a carpenter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, Yu Dazhang noticed other teams were also heading this way. Clearly, everyone had the same idea—starting the investigation here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, someone might ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this a waste of police resources?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sending one team is enough—why deploy so many people to investigate the same thing? Isn’t that redundant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, you must recognize what time it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officers and firearms are missing; even the bureau chief is desperate to join the investigation himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a time like this, worrying about resource waste is nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, everyone thinks differently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though all teams start from the industrial park, their subsequent investigative directions will inevitably differ.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Center-burst, radiating outward—perhaps one team will find the lead first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time is tight; there’s no time left to devise a detailed plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please… collect… 6…9…books…!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even one of the two missing guns fired, the consequences would be unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About a hundred meters from the industrial park, Yu Dazhang told Zhang Sen to stop the car, then got out and gazed toward the park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if it wasn’t clear enough, he returned to the car and had Zhang Sen drive to a higher elevation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, after getting out, he climbed straight onto the car roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey hey hey—what are you doing?” Zhang Sen quickly reached out to grab him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The roof can’t hold you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized this fat man was quite mischievous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How old are you, climbing up like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you not get enough of that as a kid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just need to stand up and take a look,” Yu Dazhang seemed urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not even for a second!” Zhang Sen insisted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you crush the roof, how are we going to get back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After friendly negotiation, both sides compromised—Yu Dazhang stood on the hood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once steady, he brought his thumbs and index fingers together to form a triangle, then aimed it downward at the industrial park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two missing officers must have started their investigation from here too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next is the location they last reported to the brigade before losing contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang slowly moved his hands upward and left, finally stopping at a distant building’s rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two points form a line—he silently memorized an action trajectory in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go—southeast,” Yu Dazhang jumped down, got back in the car, and told Zhang Sen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sen asked curiously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why don’t we just go straight to where they lost contact? Why come here first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yu Dazhang didn’t answer directly but asked in return:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know why we pulled people from the First Detachment and had the Second and Third Detachments assist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question left Zhang Sen speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leadership must have had their reasons—he’d never really thought about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, he could only admit:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Investigative habits,” Yu Dazhang explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The First Detachment’s officers are different from yours—they constantly deal with dangerous elements, so their investigations are especially meticulous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when handling Category Eight cases—any oversight could trigger serious consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your method might save a lot of investigation time, but it also risks missing critical clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to spell it out—everyone here is in criminal investigation; a hint is enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of you just teamed up—you do need to sync up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Yu Dazhang had been assigned with Lu Zhongxin, this wouldn’t have happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sen had one good trait: he never argued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the main reason Yu Dazhang chose him for the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s the next location?” Zhang Sen then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t just drive in one direction forever—I need a destination.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang was staring at his phone screen, which displayed a newly loaded electronic map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the small dot representing his position, he spoke slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two points, one line.
