Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Although Luo Fei is young, his words and actions are very humble and low-key. Even when Zhang Wei admired his handling of the previous trafficking gang case, he did not boast but only said it was everyone's effort.

This left everyone with a good first impression of him, and by the time they returned to the group office, a few people were already joking with him.

Zhang Wei was the youngest and his personality was relatively lively.

He spoke with admiration and expectancy, "Leader, I've heard that ever since you joined the previous group, the group's bonuses have been the highest every month?"

"From now on, we'll have to rely on you, leaving the other groups far behind to envy us!"

He Xin and Lin Jie laughed simultaneously upon hearing this, their eyes showing a hint of anticipation as they looked at Luo Fei.

After all, no one would complain about having more money.

Luo Fei also laughed, finding Zhang Wei's personality somewhat similar to Wang Yong's and the others'.

"I can't guarantee that, but I will definitely do my best."

"No need to be modest, Leader, I absolutely believe in your capability!"

"Haha."

At his seat, Wang Tao listened to them flattering Luo Fei and felt more and more uncomfortable.

He forcefully suppressed his discomfort, placing the materials in his hand onto the table not too lightly or too heavily, and said righteously, "Zhang Wei, you all have nothing to do? Didn't you hear what Team Leader Zhao said at the meeting just now?"

While speaking, he didn't even glance at Luo Fei, as if treating the person like air.

Besides Zhang Wei, Lin Jie and others showed a flash of concern in their eyes.

They knew Wang Tao was unhappy, but Luo Fei was their leader, and his attitude was somewhat excessive.

Moreover, if these two were to start quarreling later, whom should they support?

"Oh, Brother Wang, it's just that the Leader just arrived today, so we chatted with him a bit more. Besides, there hasn't been a case recently; there's nothing to do originally."

Zhang Wei, being straightforward, honestly explained.

Wang Tao, frustrated, decided not to bother with him anymore.

However, he wasn't foolish enough to provoke Luo Fei; he simply continued to ignore the guy's presence.

Luo Fei curiously glanced at him.

He had already seen the personnel list of the group, so he quickly deduced that this must be Wang Tao.

It seemed he evidently was dissatisfied with him.

Having just arrived, there was no chance he had inadvertently offended him, so the disgruntlement could only be due to the leader's position.

Upon realizing this, Luo Fei smiled at Zhang Wei and others, saying, "Alright, you all can get busy now."

Then, he went to his workstation, tidied up a bit, placed the items he brought, and began reviewing the documents given by Zhou Lei.

Seeing this, Lin Jie and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They initially worried he'd get angry by Wang Tao's attitude, yet he seemed utterly indifferent.

This mindset at his age was incredibly rare.

The two couldn't help but admire him more.

Only Wang Tao mistakingly thought Luo Fei was afraid of him, not daring to clash.

He felt rather proud about it.

An hour had passed when Luo Fei finally skimmed through the documents.

Also, he gained a fairly good overall understanding of the group's work in the past two years and the abilities of Zhang Wei and the other members.

Then he picked up his phone to check, having noticed it kept vibrating while he reviewed the documents.

Indeed, there were quite a few unread messages.

Opening them revealed messages from Yang Mei, Zhang Fan, Wang Yong, and others.

He first opened Yang Mei's.

Four unread messages.

They mostly inquired about his reporting, adaptation to the new environment, and relations with colleagues.

Luo Fei, of course, replied with good answers.

Then he checked the messages from Wang Yong and others, finding similar content—complaints about missing him and feeling uncomfortable without him.

Luo Fei replied to them humorously to work hard and closed the chat.

Soon, it was time for lunch.

Since Luo Fei just arrived, Zhang Wei and the others invited him to walk to the cafeteria together.

The city's criminal investigation squad and the police station worked at the same location, merely divided into two buildings, but there was only one cafeteria.

Thus, the cafeteria here was much larger than at the previous police team, and the daily menu offered was relatively richer.

"Leader, not to boast, but the meals at our cafeteria are exceptional; once you've tried them, you'll know."

Zhang Wei continued to enthusiastically tell him, but Luo Fei's attention was suddenly drawn to an employee mopping nearby.

He was a thin man, energetically mopping the floor, yet walked with a pronounced limp—though not overly severe, his disability was evident.

However, despite this, his face maintained a broad smile, greeting every passerby with effort, though perhaps overly intentional, making the smile appear somewhat fake and uncomfortable.

Of course, his attention-grabbing feature wasn't the disability or bizarre smile.

It was the sinister figure condensed from dark air over his head that captured Luo Fei's notice!

What the heck is this!

In the municipal police station's cafeteria, there's a murderer lurking!

If he wasn't confident in the Eye of Sin working accurately, he'd think he was hallucinating.

Who could even imagine?

Additionally, isn't this guy too daring, having killed someone, yet boldly appearing in front of the police?!

"Zhang Wei, who is that person? Do you know him?"

In urgency, Luo Fei immediately turned to Zhang Wei, pointed towards the person, and asked.

Following his gesture, Zhang Wei looked over, "You mean him? He's a cleaner hired by the cafeteria, named Old Wu."

That Luo Fei noticed him raised no surprise in Zhang Wei's face, instead showing a knowing look.

"Leader, do you also find his smile a bit creepy?" Zhang Wei lowered his voice, pointed to his head, "In fact, he has some mental issues, so he looks rather peculiar, but he's quite a nice guy."

Everyone new to Old Wu showed a reaction similar to Luo Fei's; over time, everyone became accustomed to it.

Luo Fei remained immersed in the shock of recognizing him as a murderer.

Yet, he had no evidence supporting this presently, just as he fretted about gathering proof, Old Wu seemed to notice their direction.

Luo Fei grew tense, fearing his suspicion had roused the snake from hiding.

Instead, the outcome didn't involve the anticipated guilty evasion; the man casually limped toward them, his smile unwavering.

"Officer Zhang, this policeman looks unfamiliar; is he new here?"

He familiarly greeted Zhang Wei as if they were well acquainted.

"Old Wu, this is our new group leader, Luo Fei."

Zhang Wei provided an introduction, perhaps to flatter the new leader, adding, "Don't underestimate our young leader; his crime-solving skills are formidable! He recently earned a First Class personal merit, awarded by provincial leaders themselves!"

"That's indeed impressive!"

Old Wu nodded, bowing towards Luo Fei, "Hello, Officer Luo."

His smile grew more beaming, but looked even more uncanny.

Luo Fei remained composed, internally overwhelmed by the man's reaction.

He's handled numerous cases, met various murderers.

Yet, it's his first encounter with someone like Old Wu.

He didn't seem afraid of the police at all, lacking the usual criminal's nervousness when facing them, and appeared quite willing to approach them.

His eyes particularly, displayed an extraordinary calm over regular ease, and efforts to decipher his smile suggested deeply buried contempt and pride.

Having extensively studied criminal psychology, Luo Fei nearly instantly deduced a possible subconscious mindset.

He's killed, then brazenly moved under the noses of the police without anyone recognizing him, still engaging them in casual conversation.

He resembles a top predator viewing the self-righteous, authoritative officers being toyed with at his whim, unaware under his skillful manipulation.

He prides himself in his craft, inwardly ridiculing the police's ineptitude.
