Chapter 742: Still Arrived Too Late

"I hope you will cooperate."

Yu Dazhang had just seen depth and despair in his eyes, giving the impression of a madman on the verge of losing control.

"Are the women you acquired all in these villas?" he asked again.

Ding Wen kept his head down, as if he hadn't heard.

"The women in those rooms, you used them as surrogates, didn't you?"

The moment Yu Dazhang asked this question, Ding Wen reacted immediately.

He raised his head again, looking at Yu Dazhang with surprise in his eyes, as if to say: How did you know?

From the time the police broke into the villa until now, less than five minutes had passed; in such a short time, it was obviously impossible to know what had happened to the women on the hospital beds.

Unless...

The police had guessed his criminal motive before the operation began.

This was also what surprised him.

And Ding Wen's reaction perfectly confirmed Yu Dazhang's guess.

After a brief stare-down, Ding Wen lowered his head again.

"Take him away," Yu Dazhang ordered.

He had just seen hopelessness in Ding Wen's eyes, indicating that he had accepted his fate.

Getting someone like that to speak would take some effort; this was obviously not a suitable place.

Watching Ding Wen being escorted away, Yu Dazhang took out his phone and called a member of the Criminal Investigation Detachment.

After the call connected, he gave his orders directly:

"No need to stay at the hotel anymore. First, send Zhang Jiangke back to the detention center, then ask the interrogation colleagues to come over and conduct an overnight interrogation of Ding Wen."

The officer on the other end paused for a moment, then asked excitedly:

"Has Ding Wen been captured?"

"The arrest operation went smoothly enough," Yu Dazhang replied:

"He has been escorted to the Criminal Investigation Detachment. Please hurry."

Let professionals handle professional matters.

For a suspect like Ding Wen who had given up on treatment, it would take time to pry his mouth open; it was better to let the interrogation colleagues give him a session first.

Criminal investigators also need rest to solve cases; after working non-stop for two days, Yu Dazhang was also starting to feel the strain.

So at this moment, inter-departmental cooperation became especially important; he was simply utilizing all available resources.

Besides, this villa still needed his further investigation.

Coming out, Yu Dazhang first looked at those female special operations team members; he saw them standing one by one with high spirits, their eyes flashing with eager anticipation.

Although they were trying hard to conceal it, Yu Dazhang still caught the aggression radiating from them.

Seeing him come out, the seven girls quickly adjusted their posture, stood in a neat row, and snapped to a standard attention stance.

Yu Dazhang was all too familiar with this action of theirs; it was body language, waiting for him to issue an order.

"You have completed your mission very well."

Yu Dazhang first expressed approval, then shifted his tone:

"There is nothing more for you here; wait in the car."

Now the entire row of villas was surrounded tightly, and the officers participating in the arrest mission were all experienced veteran criminal investigators.

Therefore, there was no need for them to get involved at all.

Mainly because, once they acted, it would be a killing move; they would not hold back.

The police's duty is to bring criminals to justice, while they follow the principle of killing the enemy in one strike; since the two sides have different objectives, it is better not to let them get involved when the situation is already under control.

"We..."

The leading girl said in a negotiating tone:

"Let us guard outside; we promise not to take the initiative to act."

Yu Dazhang hesitated for a moment.

This would do; at least it could effectively prevent anyone from escaping in the chaos, after all, the police side did not know the exact number of suspects, and they were not very familiar with the layout of the villa.

Under such circumstances, it was inevitable that someone would slip through the cracks.

"Alright, you stay outside the villa and keep a close watch on the movements inside."
