Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

"Zhang Wei, are you well acquainted with Old Wu?"

Old Wu greeted them and then continued to tend to his field.

But Luo Fei had lost his appetite for food.

With a distracted mind, he got a meal and dragged Zhang Wei to randomly find a table to sit down, eager to inquire.

Zhang Wei ate his food, "Not really well acquainted, he's just very enthusiastic. Every time he sees us, he greets us, and that's how we got to know each other over time."

Luo Fei noticed this too, as, right after he arrived, the other party would always approach for a chat. It was indeed a bit over the top with enthusiasm.

"Is he only this enthusiastic to specific people, or is he like this with everyone in our police team?"

"Everyone, I think. Anyway, everyone in our police team knows him, and whenever we eat, we often see him striking up conversations with people, including those from the municipal bureau."

After saying this, Zhang Wei saw Luo Fei still pondering, thinking he was curious, so he explained further.

"Actually, there's a reason he's like this. I heard that he once wanted to apply to the police academy, had the scores to qualify, but got rejected because of a disability."

"This hit him hard; he's become a bit eccentric. But possibly because he truly likes the police profession, he always wants to chat with us."

"Later, we speculated that he might be trying to make up for the regret in his heart, so we all bear with it and chat with him."

Luo Fei was noncommittal about this explanation, but he didn't believe it at all.

If Old Wu truly loved the police profession, how would one explain the disdain he just showed in his eyes?

It might be that he wasn't fond of the police; maybe he's just toying with them.

But this person is indeed formidable; at least for now, it seems he's quite playing the entire criminal investigation team around his little finger.

"Do you know much about him? Do you know where he's from? Does he have family?"

While munching on a piece of sweet and sour pork, Zhang Wei directly shook his head.

"That I don't know. He's not a criminal; who would pay attention to such details."

He looked at Luo Fei strangely, "Boss, why are you asking all this?"

Why did he feel as though Luo Fei was quite interested in Old Wu?

"Nothing, just curious, asking randomly."

Luo Fei didn't openly reveal his findings. Right now, he had no evidence, and even if he did say something, the other party wouldn't believe him, and they might even laugh at him.

It seemed an undercover investigation was needed. He had to find useful clues first.

But how to start, and where to start from, was also a problem.

He couldn't just walk up to Old Wu and ask, "I know you killed someone, can you tell me who it was?"

Of course, regardless of how, the first step would be to ascertain basic information about the other party.

Fortunately, getting this information shouldn't be too hard.

Old Wu works in the cafeteria, so the cafeteria manager should definitely have his details.

So after finishing his meal quickly, Luo Fei immediately approached the cafeteria manager privately.

He briefly introduced himself and, expressing sympathy for the other party's situation, he easily obtained the information he wanted.

Old Wu's full name is Wu Xuewu, from Guangyuan County, Jiangzhou City.

With this information in hand, Luo Fei immediately logged into the resident registration database, quickly retrieving the detailed data of the other party.

Wu Xuewu, ID number 6109XXXXXXXX, resides at No. 5, Group 8, Baimao Village, Qingshan Town, Guangyuan County, Jiangzhou City.

Judging by his appearance, Luo Fei initially thought he was at least forty, but he was actually only thirty.

Disabled since childhood, his father passed away when he was five. He was raised by his mother, who died of illness after his high school graduation, forcing him to drop out and find work.

However, due to his physical condition and educational limitations, he struggled to find jobs. Two years ago, arranged by the city's disabled person support center, he started working in the police team's cafeteria.

Luo Fei found nothing suspicious.

So after returning to the office, he casually chatted with Lin Jie and He Xin, inquiring about Old Wu.

After trying to gather info, he found that their evaluation of Old Wu was similar to Zhang Wei's.

Apart from terms like enthusiastic personality, mentally a bit abnormal, eccentric, good person, and diligent worker, there were no valuable clues.

But he wasn't surprised, as being able to dazzle in front of police officers meant he was cunning enough not to show any easy flaws.

To find out what exactly he's guilty of, one might have to resort to deep investigation and surveillance like before with Yang Dawei.

However, the crucial issue now was that this wasn't the same police team.

Previously, with just one intuitive statement, from Zhao Donglai down to every officer, everyone supported his actions unconditionally.

But in this new team, not only was he new, Wang Tao also didn't respect him. While Zhang Wei and two others tried to be friendly, their personalities were still to be determined, and it was unlikely they'd work as diligently as Wang Yong and his group.

Luo Fei realized that for smoother future operations, establishing good relationships was crucial.

Fortunately, he had planned for this. While everyone was in the office, he suggested, "By the way, is anyone available this Friday afternoon? I'd like to treat everyone to a meal."

In a new environment, treating for dinner is always the easiest way to build relationships.
