Chapter 736: You Don

Yu Dazhang then assigned local criminal investigation team officers to guard Zhang Jiangke at the hotel, while he headed to the warehouse with Hua Dui.

On the way.

Hua Dui, sitting in the front passenger seat, turned back to look at Yu Dazhang in the back and asked:

“If we arrest Gu Dingwen, will this case be resolved?”

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

But at the hotel, Yu Dazhang had been busy, and other officers from different regions had been around, so he hadn’t dared to bring it up.

After all, he held a significant position and had to preserve some face.

Asking this question would imply he lacked basic judgment on the case.

But he had to admit that such a complex case had exceeded his capabilities—he was no longer keeping up with Yu Dazhang’s thinking.

“Hard to say. Based on the current clues, Gu Dingwen likely has someone behind him.”

Yu Dazhang’s answer was ambiguous—neither confirming nor denying.

But from his tone, it was clear he still had confidence in the case.

“You mean the person funding him?” Hua Dui pressed.

After returning to Songhai, Yu Dazhang’s team had held several joint meetings with the other two special task forces, discussing the case and analyzing the clues.

But even now, Hua Dui still believed Gu Dingwen was the mastermind, and the one funding him was merely investing in his business.

Do people invest in crime?

Of course they do.

And there are plenty of them.

Like illegal fundraising, black-market car sales, money laundering…

No need to list them all.

In short, the possibilities are endless—nothing is beyond them if they set their minds to it.

In the past, who would have thought investing in movies could be used for money laundering, or that tipping streamers was a form of it?

So Hua Dui believed the person funding Gu Dingwen didn’t necessarily have to be involved in the crime—he might simply want a share of the profits.

“It’s still too early to say that.”

Yu Dazhang clearly didn’t want to dwell on this issue:

“Before we catch Gu Dingwen, speculating is pointless—we still have too few clues.”

The things Hua Dui was considering, he had already thought through before.

But without evidence to support them, he couldn’t reach definitive conclusions.

The information he currently held on the other side originally came from Zhang Jiangke, and Gu Dingwen was clearly keeping secrets from Zhang Jiangke.

Put it this way—Yu Dazhang now understood Gu Dingwen better than Zhang Jiangke did.

Even though the latter constantly called him “Old Gu,” sounding familiar, he knew nothing of Gu Dingwen’s past.

Yu Dazhang had also considered the possibility that the person behind him was merely an investor.

But after learning that everyone who had falsely accused Gu Dingwen was dead, he eliminated that possibility.

About half an hour later.

They arrived at an abandoned factory on the city’s outskirts.

Yu Dazhang chose this warehouse because his inspiration came entirely from Zhang Qian, the secondhand dealer.

In Xicheng, Xie Wei and Zhang Qian had met for their handoff at an abandoned factory on the outskirts.

Often, you don’t need to think for yourself—just borrow from others’ experience.

Look at Lei Jun—he copied everything, leaving countless business tycoons speechless, yet you can’t deny he succeeded.

Upon arrival, Yu Dazhang called Xu Dui first:

“What’s the situation?”

“No suspicious individuals have approached this area,” Xu Dui replied over the phone.

“Our officers are monitoring all surrounding intersections—anyone coming from any road will be seen.”
