Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Meanwhile, upon hearing about their arrival today, the city detective team was already abuzz with discussion.

"I can accept Zhao Donglai as our captain; after all, he's quite capable, and was groomed by Captain Lu."

"But this Luo Fei... Why does he get to start as a team leader right away? I'm not convinced!"

"It's just because he solved a few cases, acting as if none of us have ever cracked a case."

"Yeah, I really can't understand what the higher-ups are thinking. Anyway, if he's leading the first team, don't expect me to respect him!"

Although Luo Fei is highly capable, those in the city detective team are also the elite of the elite.

Moreover, since they have not interacted with Luo Fei and don't know his depth, it's only natural for them to underestimate him.

Of course, there were also those who remained calm and wise.

"Wang Tao, you can't say that. Take the Wang Wenbin case and the Ning Shaobin gang case, for example; Luo Fei handled them beautifully, even winning recognition from the provincial authorities."

"Yes, since the higher-ups chose him to be the first team's leader, it proves he surely has the capability."

"Tch, it's just luck. If I had encountered those cases, I could have discovered the problems too."

The person complaining about Luo Fei was unimpressed.

He was Wang Tao, a member of the first team, roughly thirty-five years old, and a somewhat short and plump man.

His rejection of Luo Fei also had its reasons.

Wang Tao had been in the police force for about fourteen years, and by luck, was assigned to the city detective team right from the start.

Having worked diligently at the grassroots level for so many years, he was considered a veteran in the team.

With his strong abilities, he was originally the most hopeful candidate to become team leader after the original leader was transferred.

However, just when he was full of expectations, Zheng Changjun announced in public that Luo Fei would parachute into the position. It's no wonder he was upset.

Most people could guess some of this, but seeing his self-importance, they were somewhat displeased.

Everyone had heard about those cases, and they knew Luo Fei's success wasn't just due to luck.

But nobody was foolish enough to argue with him, except for one or two friends who whispered a few words of advice, and gave up when he still stubbornly held his ground.

When Luo Fei and Zhao Donglai arrived, they headed straight to the captain's office.

Lu Jianfei was already waiting.

"Donglai, Luo Fei, you're here."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he proceeded to hand over responsibilities to Zhao Donglai, and then summoned Zhou Lei, the leader of the first team.

After a brief introduction, Zhou Lei handed a thick file to Luo Fei.

"Comrade Luo Fei, these are some general materials of the first team. You can take a look when you have time. If there's anything unclear, you can ask Wang Tao and the others. Of course, you can also ask me; I've left my contact details for this purpose."

Zhou Lei, about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, was a key contributor to the successful resolution of a recent shooting case alongside Lu Jianfei.

However, he wasn't transferred with Lu Jianfei this time but instead was appointed captain of the Police Inspectorate Brigade.

With a cheerful smile, he finished speaking, and Luo Fei hurriedly expressed his thanks.

Lu Jianfei then said, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet everyone."

The city detective team, besides the captain, had thirty members, divided into six squads: the police dog squad had four members, the technical squad had six members, and the remaining four detective groups had five members each.

All of these people had been temporarily gathered in the conference room by Lu Jianfei.

"Comrades, these two should be no strangers to you."

"Zhao Donglai is your current detective team captain. Luo Fei, though still a newcomer, stands out for his exceptional abilities and frequent resolution of major cases, so he will be taking over from Zhou Lei as the leader of the first team."

"I believe with their addition, there will undoubtedly be a fresh atmosphere in the future. So now, let's give them a warm applause to welcome them!"

Once Lu Jianfei finished speaking, the conference room erupted in thunderous applause.

Lu Jianfei was also in a hurry to report to the provincial authorities, so after briefly introducing Zhao Donglai to a few squad leaders, he quickly left.

After he left, Zhou Lei also excused himself to report to the Inspectorate Brigade.

In the conference room, Zhao Donglai looked at the faces below, both unfamiliar and familiar, cleared his throat, and spoke, "Let me just say a few words."

"We'll all be working together for a long time, so I want to state upfront that those who know me well know that I don't tolerate deceit."

"It's okay to joke around off-duty, but I hope everyone will be rigorous and responsible in their work, actively handling cases. If anyone tries to slack off, I'll be fair with performance evaluations."

After giving them a stern warning, he declared the meeting over.

As Luo Fei walked out of the conference room, three people caught up with him from behind, "Team Leader, wait for us."

"Hello, Team Leader, my name is Zhang Wei."

"I'm Lin Jie."

"Team Leader, I'm He Xin."

Among the three, besides Zhang Wei who was about the same age as Luo Fei, the other two were probably in their thirties.

They were all members of the first team, and after a brief self-introduction, they welcomed Luo Fei's arrival.

To carry out his work smoothly in the future, Luo Fei would need their cooperation.

So, he certainly wouldn't reject their goodwill. After thanking them, he naturally struck up a conversation with them.

Previously, knowing that Luo Fei would parachute into the first team, the three had been worried he might be difficult to get along with.

After all, capable people often have some arrogance.

But after a short conversation, they realized they were overthinking it.
