Chapter 705: It All Comes Down to Prediction

8:12 PM.

"Zhou Jiacheng and a girl came out of Building 17."

A report came through the walkie-talkie:

"They're heading for the main gate, looks like they're leaving the compound. Should we send someone to follow?"

Hearing the report, Captain Xu immediately turned to look at Yu Dazhang in the back seat.

"Send two people to follow them."

Yu Dazhang didn't think Zhang Jiangke would dare meet Zhou Jiacheng on the road, but he still ordered:

"Just follow them to the school and then to the dormitory."

Doing this was also to cover all bases; as long as there was a chance of something happening, one couldn't take it lightly.

In a short while, Zhou Jiacheng and a girl appeared at the compound's main gate.

Yu Dazhang watched them walk toward the opposite side of the compound.

He noticed Zhou Jiacheng's steps were somewhat unsteady, even a bit staggering, while the girl looked spirited and full of energy.

First day of abstaining from lust... Yu Dazhang almost couldn't hold back a laugh.

He somewhat understood why Zhou Jiacheng didn't live here anymore.

How long had it been? The person looked drained; if they fought all night, it would be risking their life.

However, these two were at an age where hormones were overflowing, so they could probably withstand the torment.

Watching the two disappear from sight, Captain Xu couldn't help but ask:

"Should we have someone wait inside the house?"

His meaning was clear: since they were already waiting for the rabbit to hit the stump, waiting directly inside the house would naturally be safer.

Even if Zhang Jiangke could fool the officers outside, entering the house would be like walking into a trap.

Moreover, they knew the password to the smart lock, so entering the house would be convenient.

"No."

Yu Dazhang refused directly:

"The situation inside the house is unclear; if there are hidden cameras installed, once we enter, we'll be exposed."

If Captain Hua were here, he certainly wouldn't suggest waiting inside the house.

Because when Yu Dazhang handled the slavery case in N Province, the main culprit had once used remote monitoring.

Zhang Jiangke also had the password to the rental house's smart lock; he very likely had someone install monitoring when Zhou Jiacheng was not around.

As long as this possibility existed, Yu Dazhang couldn't gamble, and he couldn't afford to gamble.

Now, any slight disturbance could make Zhang Jiangke sense danger and flee in alarm.

This was also the reason he didn't let Zhou Jiacheng send an email to Zhang Jiangke.

It might just be another trap set by the other party.

Dealing with such an old fox, Yu Dazhang believed the best method was to respond to all changes with no change.

"What if he doesn't come?"

Captain Xu asked again:

"Are we just going to keep waiting here?"

He was getting a bit anxious.

In his view, this kind of stakeout was purely gambling on luck.

"If he doesn't come, there's nothing we can do," Yu Dazhang said in a helpless tone:

"Right now, besides waiting here, do you have any other way?"

Hearing this, Captain Xu fell silent.

Since Yu Dazhang took charge of the case, the case had progressed almost every day, which made him gradually get used to following Yu Dazhang's orders.

And in the current situation, besides waiting here on stakeout, he couldn't think of any other method either.

"I asked this young couple, Zhou Jiacheng and his girlfriend, to come over just to make things look more natural."

Yu Dazhang explained:

"What we can do now is not intervene, let everything happen naturally; only then will the probability of Zhang Jiangke appearing be higher."

He could only comfort Captain Xu this way.

Although Yu Dazhang was certain Zhang Jiangke would definitely come, he couldn't rule out accidents, so he couldn't speak too definitively; at any time, one must leave room for maneuver.

"Do nothing, make no mistakes."

Captain Xu nodded thoughtfully, as if suddenly understanding something, and continued:

"I understand. Dealing with a cunning old fox like Zhang Jiangke, this is the only way."

Now, it's all about prediction.

The reason Zhang Jiangke is so cunning is that he can predict the police's next move in advance, thereby cleverly avoiding or countering it.
