Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

"Luo Fei, don't act recklessly. I know you want to prove yourself quickly, but this case isn't as simple as you think. Just follow Director Zheng's arrangements and start with these five..."

Knowing he wouldn't easily agree, Luo Fei directly interrupted, "Captain Zhao, what if I say I have the confidence to solve this case?"

!!!

Zhao Donglai was shocked, "You have confidence?"

Luo Fei knew the 3.11 case had a very negative impact, and if he didn't show some certainty, Zhao Donglai definitely wouldn't agree.

Facing the skepticism, he nodded confidently, "Yes."

If anyone else had said this, Zhao Donglai would likely suspect they were bluffing.

But Luo Fei was mature and steady, never exaggerating in words or deeds, so he really didn't believe he would boast.

So, is he serious?

"Luo Fei, what clues have you found? Tell me quickly!"

As a detective, facing challenging mysteries naturally stirs a desire to win, to solve the case personally and bring the criminal to justice.

Especially a case like the 3.11, which once shocked the entire nation.

Zhao Donglai was no exception.

But even the provincial department couldn't solve this case, and Zhao Donglai knew he wasn't more capable than the provincial elites, which is why he initially opposed it.

However, if Luo Fei had clues, that would be a different matter...

Thinking of this possibility, he suddenly became excited.

"Not really clues, just some discoveries, but I can assure you that once I take over this case, I absolutely have the confidence to solve it."

"Then can you briefly tell me your findings? You have to let me know how to approach Director Zheng; otherwise, even if I believe you, he wouldn't possibly agree."

This case was transferred to the provincial department. To reinvestigate, Zheng Changjun would have to apply to the province.

But such a matter, potentially leading to criticism or disciplinary action, wouldn't be a risk Zheng Changjun would take without assurance.

Hearing this, Luo Fei was in a dilemma.

It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Zhao Donglai, but he feared he wouldn't believe it even if he did.

After all, Old Wu showed no signs of abnormality and was a disabled person, seemingly unrelated to the ruthless criminal.

Moreover, there must be basis for police suspicion, but his doubts about Old Wu were entirely based on the Eye of Sin; how could he explain that?

"Captain Zhao, I'm really not at liberty to say right now, but I truly have confidence. Could you maybe just mention it to Director Zheng first?"

"This..."

Zhao Donglai was also in a difficult position, but seeing Luo Fei's determined eyes, he decided to trust him this time!

"Alright, I'll call Director Zheng right away to inquire."

Resolving to take a gamble, he decisively dialed Zheng Changjun's number.

"Donglai, what's the call so late for? Have you already reached a decision?"

Zheng Changjun sat on his couch at home, holding a cup of tea and asking with a smile.

"Yes, Director Zheng, but after some research with Luo Fei, we found these five cases unsuitable, so we'd like to apply to investigate last year's 3.11 case."

Zhao Donglai's words were astonishing. Originally lounging on the couch, Zheng Changjun was startled and quickly sat upright.

"Are you sure you didn't misspeak? You want to investigate the 3.11 dismemberment case?!"

"That's right, it's the case where Comrade Zheng Bei sacrificed his life last year."

"..."

Zheng Changjun didn't know what to say.

The 3.11 dismemberment case was like a loud slap to the entire Jiangzhou police force.

A slap across all their faces that became an ever-present shadow over them.

Even Zheng Changjun was not exempt from external doubts and pressure from superiors, which made him feel suffocated; there was a time when anything related to the numbers 3 and 11 made his scalp tingle.

Fortunately, after the provincial public security department took over and still couldn't solve it, his pressure eased somewhat.

The difficulty of solving the case was clear when a whole province couldn't uncover the truth, and yet they proactively requested to investigate this case!

Was it because of great skill and courage, or ignorance and fearlessness?

Zheng Changjun didn't know, nor did he want to know.

But he knew he didn't want to go through what happened back then again.

"Donglai, other cases are possible, but it's better not to touch this case... After all, it's already been handed over to the provincial department, and we have no right to investigate."

It wasn't reasonable to take back a hot potato once it was thrown away.

"Director Zheng, please let me explain. We're not randomly choosing to investigate this case; Luo Fei has already made some discoveries regarding it..."

"He's found the criminal!!"

"Well, not exactly, but he has some leads."

Zhao Donglai was a bit clumsy speaking to his superior for the first time.

Thinking a bit, he added, "Director Zheng, I understand your concerns, as this case involves the entire Jiangzhou City's police reputation, but you know Luo Fei's capability."

"So I think we might choose to believe him just once, at least for the sake of the victims and Comrade Zheng Bei."

Zheng Changjun fell silent.

Zheng Bei's sacrifice he always regretted, especially with the scene at Zheng Bei's memorial when Tang Cuifang cried until she fainted several times, leaving a deep impression on him.

If Luo Fei really could...

"Donglai, I know you've worked with Zheng Bei and don't want his death to be in vain. But I too must be responsible for all our comrades in Jiangzhou."
