Chapter 726: The Hotel Room Plan

Under the current circumstances, it is no longer advisable to remain in Jin Ling.

Since it has been determined that Ding Wen will most likely be in Song Hai, it is best to head there as soon as possible.

Even in 2015, WeChat had location-sharing features; if Ding Wen requested to share locations and discovered Zhang Jiangke was in Jin Ling, it would be difficult to explain later.

To prevent complications, it is best to bring Zhang Jiangke back to Song Hai.

On the way back, Yu Dazhang kept Zhang Jiangke's mobile phone in his hand the entire time, just to answer any call immediately.

"What kind of environment would make Ding Wen feel at ease?"

Yu Dazhang turned back to look at Zhang Jiangke, who was sandwiched between two police officers.

The more critical the moment, the less one can let one's guard down; although hijacking a prisoner in the country sounds a bit far-fetched, necessary precautions must still be taken.

"The best environment is definitely outdoors."

With his hands cuffed and two stern-faced police officers pressed closely beside him, Zhang Jiangke felt somewhat constrained and uncomfortable; he frowned and replied:

"As long as I appear outdoors, it means I am free; seeing such a situation, Old Gu would naturally feel reassured."

After a brief pause, he added:

"Or a public place would also work; that is also a relatively free area."

"Secondly, a hotel room; after all, for someone like me with no fixed abode, staying in a hotel is perfectly normal, and Old Gu wouldn't suspect too much."

Outdoors, public places, hotel rooms... Yu Dazhang ran through these three locations in his mind.

First, rule out outdoors.

They cannot hold a suspect waiting outdoors; that would face numerous risks and uncertainties, and the complex environment would make exposure easier.

Public places won't work either.

No one can say when Ding Wen will call; they cannot keep Zhang Jiangke stationed in a public place indefinitely, as that would only draw others' attention.

Looking at it this way, only a hotel room meets the conditions.

A hotel room is enclosed, the environment is relatively simple, and it is convenient for control and supervision.

Afterwards, Yu Dazhang took out his phone and called Team Leader Hua:

"Find a three-star hotel, book a single room; once the room is ready, send me the hotel address."

Zhang Jiangke's previous hotel records showed he had stayed at three-star hotels many times, so Yu Dazhang arranged the accommodation according to his habits.

Actually, a guesthouse would work too, but compared to a hotel, the soundproofing is worse, and the people staying at guesthouses are more complex.

Under the current circumstances, Yu Dazhang naturally had to choose the safest place.

Sitting in the back, Zhang Jiangke heard this and immediately reminded:

"It must be a room with a king-size bed."

Does a single room have a small bed? Yu Dazhang repeated his request to Team Leader Hua.

"Isn't your home in Song Hai?" Team Leader Hua on the other end asked, puzzled:

"Are you booking a hotel room to stay at your own doorstep?"

The police officers who came with him from N Province were also staying in hotels in Song Hai, though they stayed at guesthouses, whose conditions were certainly inferior to a three-star hotel.

"It's not me staying."

Yu Dazhang explained:

"I am currently bringing Zhang Jiangke back to Song Hai; I need to arrange a hotel room for him so he can wait for a phone call."

After finishing, he suddenly remembered he hadn't told Team Leader Hua about Zhang Jiangke's capture yet.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Team Leader Hua's voice suddenly rose:

"Zhang Jiangke has been captured?!"

He clearly remembered that just early yesterday morning, they were still conducting a city-wide manhunt for Zhang Jiangke in Song Hai.

Only a day has passed, and the person has been caught?

Moreover, judging by the tone, Zhang Jiangke was captured in S Province.

How was it done?

Team Leader Hua's mind was already in chaos; he only remembered having sent Yu Dazhang a segment of surveillance video from an internet cafe, after which the two had not contacted each other.

Clues found from that surveillance video?

That shouldn't be possible.

He had also watched that video; although Zhang Jiangke's face was visible, that was all; there was nothing else particularly notable.
