Chapter 704

I suspect he’s mocking me… Yu Dazhang felt Lu Jiacheng’s gaze was unfriendly, almost mocking.

So what if I’ve never stayed at a daily rental?

Must one’s prime years be spent in daily rentals?

Besides, I’m at police academy—I reject all corrupt trends and evil influences.

Okay, there are plenty of cozy daily rentals near police academy, but Yu Dazhang has never stayed at one.

In his past life, he was a somewhat rigid person.

In this life, he was kidnapped—never had a chance to fall in love.

Besides, the male-to-female ratio at police academy is seven to three, making competition far fiercer than at other universities.

“Give me the address of the rental.”

Yu Dazhang’s tone was calm, yet carried an unyielding firmness:

“Also, tell me the smart lock code. After the case is closed, you can change it again.”

He now firmly believed the rental was one of Zhang Jiangke’s hideouts.

The reason was simple.

Zhang Jiangke knew both the rental’s address and the smart lock code, and most importantly, the rental had long remained unoccupied.

For a seasoned fox like Zhang Jiangke, nowhere could serve as a better hiding spot.

Moreover, another critical factor cannot be ignored.

Before fleeing, Zhang Jiangke likely met Lu Jiacheng one last time—or at the very least, left him money.

And that rental was the perfect place to hide cash.

Zhang Jiangke could easily stash the money in the rental first, then tell Lu Jiacheng to retrieve it after he safely returned to Mianbei.

“Building 17, Unit 32, Gulou Community.”

Lu Jiacheng answered without hesitation:

“The code is the last six digits of my birthday.”

After jotting down the details, Yu Dazhang stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

“Are you staying overnight at the rental today?” he asked Lu Jiacheng.

“No,” Lu Jiacheng waved his hand. “We’ll eat, rest a bit, then head back to campus. If you’re going, we won’t go.”

It was clear he feared Yu Dazhang and the others would surveil the rental.

If they did, he wouldn’t dare go there—after all, no one wants to spar with an audience.

If it were really like that, he wouldn’t dare go to the rental apartment—after all, no one wants to be watched during a sparring session.

To ease his worries, Yu Dazhang softened his tone:

“Don’t worry—we won’t enter the place while you’re there, won’t disturb you at all. Enjoy your private time.”

With that, he waved to Lu Jiacheng and left the dorm.

Back in the car, Xu Dui took a call, then said to Yu Dazhang:

“Zhang Jiangke’s last email login was the day before yesterday morning—the IP address was in Songhai’s Qingpu District.”

The time and location matched… Yu Dazhang thought, nodded, then ordered:

“Have the tech team refresh the email’s activity every half hour. Report any changes immediately.”

Checking login times and IP addresses was to verify the email’s authenticity.

Based on current information, Zhang Jiangke was indeed in Songhai the day before yesterday—these two facts corroborated each other, strongly suggesting the email was genuine.

According to the information currently available, Zhang Jiangke was indeed in Songhai the morning before last; these two points corroborate each other, strongly suggesting the email account is genuine.

“Zhang Jiangke probably has a backup identity.”

Xu Dui, sitting in the passenger seat, said:

“Since this year, there’s been no record of him buying tickets or traveling—but his hotel check-ins still show regular movement between Yancheng and Songhai. That means he’s using another identity for travel.”

“Since this year, there’s been no record of him purchasing tickets or traveling, but his hotel check-in records show he still shuttles between Yanjing and Songhai—indicating he uses another identity for ticketing and travel.”

Of course not.

But one can obtain another identity through forgery, alteration, or impersonation of someone else’s documents.

Find the right people, spend the money—it’s not hard.

Someone like Zhang Jiangke would surely arrange multiple identities; they could save his life in a crisis.

Why not drive back and forth himself?

Can’t he just drive himself back and forth between the two places?

He’d still be checked for ID and license on the road—and more thoroughly than on public transport. Better to just buy tickets and ride.

Your ID and driver’s license will still be checked on the road, and more thoroughly than before—it’s better to just buy a ticket and take public transit.
