Chapter 739: The Deliberately Left Flaw

Gu Ding Wen is here!

The moment he heard the words "RV," Yu Dazhang sat bolt upright, the drowsiness that had lingered a moment ago vanishing without a trace, his eyes blazing with excitement and agitation.

Since an RV had appeared, it proved that the inference he and Zhang Jiangke had made earlier was correct.

And Gu Ding Wen was very likely inside that RV.

Good thing he didn't make the arrest in the hallway… Yu Dazhang couldn't help but let out a breath of relief.

If Gu Ding Wen couldn't pick up his man, he would soon realize the person he'd sent had been caught, and then he certainly wouldn't go back to the villa—he might just flee straight abroad.

However…

Yu Dazhang felt something still wasn't quite right.

Even if Gu Ding Wen came to pick up his man, there was no need for him to come in person, and in an RV no less—that was a bit too flashy.

Wasn't he afraid the police would play the long game to catch the big fish?

Or maybe…

The RV itself was a trap?

A trap to draw the police out.

A trap within a trap?

Very possible.

Just as Yu Dazhang was hesitating, the voice of the officer on the other end came through his phone again:

"The RV just drove off. What do we do now—intercept or follow?"

Captain Hua heard it and immediately turned his head back to look at the rear seat.

If it were up to him, naturally he'd chase after it and block the vehicle.

An opportunity like this couldn't be missed.

If they lost it, they'd have wasted this rare chance for nothing.

Two armed criminal police officers were enough to handle some sudden situations; even if they couldn't take the suspects into custody, as long as they stalled them, reinforcements would arrive soon.

"Do not intercept under any circumstances."

Yu Dazhang leaned forward and said into the phone:

"They're many and we're few. Blocking the vehicle at this point is too risky—nobody knows what's inside that RV. Just follow from a distance, and even when reinforcements arrive, you are not to act on your own."

He had to give an absolute order.

There's a big taboo in criminal police work: being too eager to earn merit.

Most of the time, when merit is right before your eyes, only a rare few can hold themselves back from acting.

So Yu Dazhang had to crush those little restless thoughts in their hearts ahead of time.

Was he being a bit unfair in how he read them?

Never test human nature.

Whether it's "being too eager to earn merit" or "rushing for quick success," there are real cases behind such phrases.

"Hang up the phone."

Yu Dazhang continued:

"Let them focus on the job, and report any new developments at once."

Captain Hua heard this, hung up the phone, and immediately said to him:

"With just that one vehicle, if they tail it too long, it's easy for the other side to get suspicious."

He still wanted those two officers to block the RV; in his view, that was the safest move at the moment.

If the other side noticed they were being followed during the tail, intercepting them later wouldn't be so easy.

"Reinforcements are almost here."

Yu Dazhang explained:

"The people coming for support know those two's phone numbers—they'll contact them when the time comes."

He knew what Captain Hua was anxious about, but right now he could only try to soothe him.

"Why not arrest them?" Captain Hua finally couldn't hold it in any longer and asked.

Yu Dazhang leaned back against the rear seat and replied unhurriedly:

"Arrest who?"

"Gu Ding Wen and his accomplices, of course." Captain Hua tried to keep his voice down, but you could still hear the agitation in it:

"The longer the night, the more dreams. If you ask me, we should get them under control first—that's the only way to stop them from doing something desperate."

His concern was not without reason.

Once a suspect had been spotted, leaving them unapprehended was really a bit hard to justify.

He truly couldn't understand why Yu Dazhang was holding back and not letting them make the arrest.

"Arrest Gu Ding Wen?"

There was a questioning tone in Yu Dazhang's voice:

"Can you confirm Gu Ding Wen is inside that RV?"

Captain Hua, hearing this question, actually faltered.

"I…" He opened his mouth, only to find he had no idea how to answer.
