Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

"Three years ago, during Old Wu's time working at the school, did anything like campus bullying happen in Zhang's class?"

"Campus bullying? No, no."

"Director Liang, this question is crucial. Could you please think about it again? It might not just be bullying. For instance, a serious dispute among students?"

According to Luo Fei's hypothesis, Zhang might have chosen to do nothing in the face of campus bullying, which could have led to Old Wu's revenge.

So this matter would be quite serious, definitely not just students messing around.

Liang Qin had no choice but to think seriously, and she did recall an incident.

"Now that you mention it, there was such an incident, and it indeed caused quite a stir back then."

"A girl from the neighboring group brought two classmates after school to beat up a girl from Zhang's class."

At first, the school also thought it was bullying, but after investigation, it turned out the beaten girl had stolen someone's phone, and the girl brought her classmates to vent her frustration... Eventually, the principal personally mediated to resolve the issue peacefully."

"Do you know the identities of these two girls?"

"I don't remember the name of the girl who was beaten, but the girl who did the beating was Zhang Lin, the high school girl who was killed and dismembered last year."

Luo Fei and Zhang Wei exchanged glances, seeing excitement in each other's eyes.

Because this meant all of Luo Fei's suspicions aligned!

"Director Liang, thank you for your cooperation. We won't disturb you any longer."

Luo Fei didn't delay further; after a quick thanks, he went downstairs to join He Xin.

Meanwhile, He Xin had gathered quite a bit of information by questioning others.

The two teams quickly exchanged findings and confirmed that what Liang Qin had said was true.

"Great, I'll call Zhao's team right away!"

Excited, Luo Fei took out his phone, planning to inform Zhao Donglai to arrest Old Wu!

But before he could dial, Zhao Donglai's call came in first.

As soon as the call connected, Zhao Donglai's anxious voice came through, "This is bad, Luo Fei, Old Wu is missing!"

Luo Fei's heart sank.

"Missing! You had someone watching him, how did he go missing?"

"I sent Zhang Fan and Zhao Hai from group four, but staying in the canteen made them conspicuous, so they just kept him in view."

"But who knew that when it was time to leave, the crowd was too large, and in a moment of distraction, he vanished!"

From Old Wu's consistent behavior, it was clear that he was a very cunning person.

So slipping away, even under the noses of two trained detectives, wasn't out of the question.

Thus, after a brief shock, Luo Fei quickly regained his composure.

The most important thing right now was to find him first.

He glanced at his phone; it was five past five.

"Zhao team, I suspect he slipped away with the off-duty crowd, so immediately have police and canteen surveillance checked!"

"Also, ask Director Zheng to help check vehicles that left after five; he might have left with them."

Speaking quickly, Luo Fei added, "I'll head to his place immediately; maybe there's something to discover."

"Alright, I'll be there soon too!"

"Team leader..."

He Xin and the others had heard his conversation with Zhao Donglai, equally as shocked.

Old Wu had really fled?

Damn, how did that guy know?

"No time to waste, let's go quickly."

Luo Fei called out, running towards the car first.

The three snapped out of it and quickly followed.

Because he was anxious, Luo Fei took the driver's seat. As soon as the three were in the car, he started it and hurriedly drove to Old Wu's rental.

Upon reaching the basement door, Luo Fei immediately noticed Old Wu's scent lingering strongly, confirming that he had been back recently!

Could he be home now?

As soon as this thought arose, Luo Fei dismissed it.

If the guy were foolish enough to wait here, he wouldn't be able to dodge the authorities so deftly.

After signaling the others, Luo Fei decisively kicked open the basement door.

Sure enough, as he had expected, the small room remained just as simple as his last visit, with no trace of Old Wu.

Meanwhile, Zhao Donglai finally arrived hastily with a technical team of officers.

"How's it looking? Is he still here?"

Zhang Wei spread his hands, "Already gone."

Zhao Donglai's face instantly turned grim.

Honestly, as a lifelong detective captain, he never thought someone would slip right under his nose.

This was a real slap in the face!

Just then, Luo Fei furrowed his brow, catching a whiff of blood.

Following the scent, he quickly found a piece of paper on the ground by the door.

It's a piece of A4 paper commonly used in their office, and unfolding it, he saw words.

"Leader Luo, you're quite surprising; I didn't expect you to discover me. Not bad, you're indeed smart!"

"As a reward, I plan to prepare a big gift for you, hopeful it'll be to your liking!"

At the end of the letter was a big smiley face drawn in blood.

The blood scent Luo Fei picked up was emanating from this.

Upon closer examination, it seemed to be animal blood, not human blood.

"Luo Fei, what's written here?"

Zhao Donglai frowned, walking over.

Luo Fei didn't reply, quickly stuffing the letter into his hand and rushed outside.

The blood on it hadn't dried completely, indicating the person likely hadn't gone far, so if he hurried, he might find something.

"Leader, where are you going? Wait for us!"

Seeing this, Zhang Wei and the others hurriedly chased after him.

At this moment, the technical team leader, Zhao Tian, approached curiously, "Zhao team, where's Leader Luo rushing off to?"

Zhao Donglai's face was incredibly grim, not responding.

He had finished reading the highly provocative letter.

He had no idea what the so-called surprise was, but it couldn't be good!

"Zhao Tian, get this blood tested immediately to make sure it's not human blood!"

"And have the technical team thoroughly search this room, we can't miss any clues!"

Zhao Tian realized the gravity of the situation, instantly getting serious.

"Alright, Zhao team, I'll handle it right away!"

Quickly, Luo Fei returned.

"Luo Fei, did you find any trace of him?"

"No, I lost the trail by the community's garbage station. This guy is smart, using it to hide his scent."

Luo Fei looked a bit grim.

Frankly, in his years of solving cases, he'd never encountered such a formidable opponent before.

"Understandable, even at the crime scene, with so many fine police dogs, he still went undetected; he's evidently quite experienced in this area."

Zhao Donglai sighed, "Let's go back and have a meeting to discuss it."

Detective squad.

Everyone who had clocked out earlier was now waiting in their offices.

They had received news that evidence pointed to Old Wu as the top suspect for 3.11.

This should have been good news for everyone, but Old Wu's disappearance made the atmosphere tense and serious instead.

Among them, Wang Tao was the most anxious.

He knew that Old Wu's swift escape was likely tied to his slip at noon.

But it wasn't his fault; he had no clue that Old Wu was the culprit!

He could only hope Zhao Donglai and the others wouldn't find out, or his job would be at risk!
