People said my sister and that woman went up the mountain to a village called Shuishouyingzi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Yu Dazhang and Zhang Sen fixed their eyes expectantly on the officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer was taking notes, but upon hearing “Shuishouyingzi Village,” he immediately stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That place…” He seemed to recall something, pulled out his phone, and swiped across the screen a few times:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he picked up the desk phone, dialed a number, and said once it connected:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Dong, someone reported a missing person—been a week already. Says she was taken to Shuishouyingzi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t hear what was said on the other end, but nodded a few times before hanging up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang and Zhang Sen exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn’t the right procedure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both had handled report-taking duties before—they knew this process inside out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, record the case details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That means: ask the reporter for specific information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, based on what’s provided, draft a detailed statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statement must include key details: time, location, involved parties, and nature of the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drafting, the reporter must review and confirm the accuracy of the record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No department, anywhere, skips this step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the first step—and the mandatory one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here? The moment the reporter gave a rough outline, the officer just called someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like he’s bringing in another officer to handle Yu Dazhang and Zhang Sen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who taught you to handle cases like this…? Yu Dazhang had prepared himself mentally, but he hadn’t expected this absurdity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, this police station operates by its own rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No doubt—Shuishouyingzi Village is special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mention that place in a report, and the reporter automatically becomes VIP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they waited, the young officer brought them two cups of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even specifically told Yu Dazhang that if they were hungry, the station had instant noodles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, their attitude toward reporters was genuinely good—bordering on hospitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about ten minutes, a police car pulled up outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out stepped a man around thirty, wearing glasses, refined and composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked scholarly yet efficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the duty room, he sized up Yu Dazhang and Zhang Sen, then offered a professional smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two filed the report?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang nodded, expression hopeful;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, it’s us—this is my grandma. We just told the officer here the details.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m the area officer here,” the officer said politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shuishouyingzi is my jurisdiction. Let’s go to my office—we’ll talk inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interesting… Yu Dazhang gave Zhang Sen a glance, signaling him not to say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make sure he understood, Yu Dazhang pinched the soft flesh on Zhang Sen’s waist hard as he helped him walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sen nearly swung his cane in retaliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he not had extraordinary self-control, he would’ve shouted out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the office, the officer asked them to sit, then smiled: “Please repeat the details—be as thorough as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he typed on his computer, ready to take notes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang cooperated fully, retelling his story with added embellishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he watched the officer’s facial expression closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he mentioned “my sister was taken up the mountain by a woman,” the officer’s eyes narrowed slightly, his brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t believe it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Yu Dazhang nearly bit his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d imagined every possible reaction—except this subtle expression of distrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he misjudged?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there nothing wrong with Shuishouyingzi Village?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, not that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was another possibility…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This so-called area officer knew the village intimately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please... You... Collect 6...9...Books....!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew every detail about the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So his distrust wasn’t about the report—it was disbelief that anyone had done this recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, his connection to Shuishouyingzi Village must be deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yu Dazhang finished, the officer asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anything to add?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Yu Dazhang replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s all we found out. Oh, here’s my sister’s photo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d gone all out—he’d found a girl’s photo online at the inn, saved it, and cropped off the watermark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll send it to you.” This was Yu Dazhang’s real goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to add the officer’s WeChat to dig deeper into his personal info.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to add this community police officer’s WeChat to learn more about his personal information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer didn’t think twice—he agreed, and they exchanged WeChat contacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Yu Dazhang sent the photo, he asked with sincere expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s your name, officer? I’ll save it in my contacts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dong Bo,” the officer adjusted his glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bo as in ‘erudite.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can a police officer add a reporter’s WeChat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course they can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most officers use their real names as their WeChat ID.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t think of cops as rigid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever heard of Old Chen, the anti-fraud officer? He livestreams in uniform, doing PKs, with top fans spending a million on carnival gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he’s not a cop anymore, he quit on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they left, Officer Dong Bo walked them all the way to the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout, Yu Dazhang kept supporting Zhang Sen, keeping them apart to avoid physical contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the inn, Zhang Sen collapsed onto the bed the moment they entered, stretching his limbs and twisting his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking hunched over for long periods is physically taxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Zhang Sen could handle it—anyone else would’ve given out in ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike him, Yu Dazhang didn’t rest upon entering. Instead, he hurried to the window and looked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, he pulled out his phone and dialed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qian, it’s Yu Dazhang. Are you in the Tech Division?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah,” Qian Cheng sounded surprised—clearly hadn’t expected the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t your team out on a case? Why’re you calling me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need you to check someone,” Yu Dazhang cut straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help me look up someone,” Yu Dazhang got straight to the point:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Name and any related info,” Qian Cheng snapped to attention the moment work was mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had worked together before—there was still some unspoken understanding between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two had just collaborated previously and still had a certain level of rapport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang said quickly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dong Bo, male, around thirty years old, police officer at the Fenglinzhen Police Station.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re checking on a colleague in the system?” Qian Cheng asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1169,"2026-06-20T14:22:46.062Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","cf23bf0058b3a1193a6ec1c2c206dcdf3cc3b56c2bf2d3f18e951f635ddbfff9","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-78","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-76",763,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-cover.jpg"]
