Chapter 730: Another One Playing by the Script

Female soldiers and female police officers also meet the standards... Yu Dazhang added in his heart.

He guessed Gu Ding Wen had never even thought in that direction.

In other words, even if he were scared to death, he wouldn't dare target female soldiers or female police officers.

"Although your price is high, I actually won't make much money."

Zhang Jiangke sighed, then explained:

"I can't go find people myself; for such a request, I'd have to raise the price for the people below me too. Especially at a time like this, if the money isn't right, no one will risk committing a crime."

"So..."

He deliberately drew out the tone, then said:

"We need more money. Add two hundred thousand for each person. Only then can I guarantee getting the people to you soon."

Yu Dazhang heard it: Zhang Jiangke wanted Gu Ding Wen to back down out of fear.

Plainly put, Zhang Jiangke still didn't want to take this job; he didn't want to create complications and put the police in a difficult position.

That's why he kept raising the price on top of what was already high, but the increase couldn't be too outrageous; two hundred thousand was just the right number.

Just as Yu Dazhang thought Gu Ding Wen would refuse, the other party actually agreed!

"Alright, then add two hundred thousand for each person."

Gu Ding Wen didn't even hesitate for a moment, agreeing directly:

"But I can only give you three days. Once you find them, leave me a message on QQ; when I see it, I'll contact you."

Still contacting via QQ? Yu Dazhang had thought Gu Ding Wen would leave a phone number.

"Good."

As soon as Zhang Jiangke agreed, Gu Ding Wen hung up the video call.

After confirmation by the technical personnel, Yu Dazhang stood up and went to the next room.

"You heard it too; I had no choice but to agree to what just happened."

Upon seeing him, Zhang Jiangke immediately explained:

"Just as Old Gu said, great rewards attract brave men. If I had refused, he would definitely have become suspicious of me."

"Moreover, I think this is a good opportunity to capture him."

While he was speaking, Yu Dazhang kept observing his facial expression.

No lie.

Zhang Jiangke's expression was natural, and there was nothing unusual in his eyes.

Although he had been very cooperative so far, Yu Dazhang remained on guard against him at all times.

It seemed to be a professional instinct; he had never fully trusted any suspect.

"You did the right thing."

Yu Dazhang stared at him with a serious face:

"I heard your entire conversation. To gain Gu Ding Wen's trust, you had no other choice, and you acted very naturally."

Doing the right thing must be affirmed; otherwise, it easily causes cognitive bias in the other party, which could affect subsequent operations.

Afterwards, Zhang Jiangke handed the phone back.

After taking it, Yu Dazhang passed the phone to Captain Xu, asking him to give it to the technical personnel in the next room.

"You've already located Old Gu, haven't you?" Zhang Jiangke asked.

This was the first time he had actively raised a question to Yu Dazhang, and it involved the case details.

Yu Dazhang knew he was asking to offer his own judgment, so he didn't hide anything and answered directly:

"That's right. We located him inside a residential building in a neighborhood."

"Here's a suggestion for you," Zhang Jiangke said, looking at him:

"It's best to investigate covertly. I feel Old Gu won't expose his location so easily. During the video call with him just now, I always felt the room he was in was somehow awkward."

"How to put it..."

He frowned, as if trying hard to recall the scene at that time, then continued:

"That room was simply too small, giving a very cramped feeling, as if he was locked inside a box."

"And he turned around, yet I didn't see any windows."

Zhang Jiangke shook his head, looking somewhat confused:

"I did see curtains, but judging by the size of the curtains, they don't look like the kind of windows ordinary households would have."
