Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

"Officer Luo, you're so smart, you should know there's no such thing as a perfect crime in this world."

"I wasn't undiscovered because my methods were brilliant, but because this bunch of idiots were garbage. However, walking along the river often, one's shoes are bound to get wet."

"So, when planning this, I decided to stop after three times. After all, things shouldn't be done more than three times... Besides, these three cases are enough to prove the police's incompetence, becoming Jiangzhou police's eternal shame."

Zhao Donglai: ...

Should he praise him as being clear-headed?

"I originally thought no one would ever solve this case, but to be defeated in your hands, it's not without reason. The only regret is that Li Qian was saved by you. Officer Luo, how did you guess I would return to my hometown?"

"Can you first tell me how you discovered something was wrong?"

"Of course, someone tipped me off. Want to guess who it was?"

"Wang Tao?"

"Smart! I heard on Monday that someone was discussing re-examining the March 11th case, so I came to you to inquire, but you were too tight-lipped. However, today you and Team Leader Liao were not at the police station, so I concluded that you all must be in charge of this case."

"I know you and Wang Tao don't get along, so I deliberately provoked him to get some inside information. As expected, he slipped up, ... but I truly didn't expect that you suspected me back then."

"So, you deliberately called to test me under the guise of inviting me?"

"Exactly, under normal circumstances, with a case, you'd definitely have no time, but you agreed, and shortly after, Zhou Fan came to the cafeteria under some pretext. I knew something was up."

"You aroused my competitive spirit, so I pretended to know nothing, successfully lowering Zhou Fan and their guard, then sneaked to the parking lot before the end of the day and used a spare key I had prepared to open Li Qian's car, deciding to have a match with you."

Luo Fei didn't expect to reveal a flaw here.

After Old Wu finished speaking, he looked at him expectantly.

Luo Fei didn't string him along.

"Actually, you were being too dramatic. If you hadn't arranged anything with the trash cans or the designated driver, I might not have guessed you were creating a diversion..."

He briefly explained his deductions from the night before.

After hearing him analyze his thoughts with pinpoint accuracy, Old Wu sincerely said, "Officer Luo, I always thought the police force was a bunch of useless people, but you're the only one I genuinely admire."

...

The interrogation continued for almost two hours.

Just as Zhao Donglai and Luo Fei walked out of the interrogation room, they were immediately met with twenty-odd pairs of bright eyes staring at them.

"Team Leader Luo truly lives up to his reputation! I'm impressed this time!"

"Team Leader Luo, I used to underestimate you; from now on, we'll follow you!"

"Yes, yes, Team Leader Luo, you're now the idol of our second team."

"And of our third team."

"Also our fourth team..."

"Team Leader Luo..."

The crowd spoke chaotically, their expressions fervent.

Clearly, Luo Fei's display of skill had completely won them over.

Especially those who didn't have faith in him before, now wished they could find a hole to hide in out of shame.

Only Zhang Wei, He Xin, and Lin Jie looked at their outstanding leader with proud smiles on their faces.

After they had finished their chatter, Zhao Donglai waved his hand, "Alright, stop it, everyone get back to work... Liao Xingyu, I need the team leaders to come with me."

In the office.

"Now that the case is mostly clear, later you'll follow Old Wu's confession, gather the necessary evidence, and take him for scene identification as needed; in short, settle the case ASAP."

"Also, remember to inform the victims' families, the case has been hanging for so long, it's time we give them an explanation."

"Luo Fei, you'll notify Zheng Bei's family, and also quickly draft a simple case report. After work starts, we'll head up to report to Director Zheng."

After Zhao Donglai laid out the plan, everyone immediately got busy.

Even after dispersing, they continued their discussions.

After all, Old Wu's motives and thoughts were hard to fathom.

So when Luo Fei returned to his office, Zhang Wei immediately approached him.

"Leader, you're so smart, what do you think was going on in Old Wu's mind?"

"Despite all the bullying he suffered before, he never thought of revenge. Why does he resent us so much? We really took good care of him."

"Didn't he say, he thinks you were just putting on a show for him."

"But I still can't understand, even if he thought we were just putting on a show, we're still better than those who bullied him, right? He doesn't have to be grateful, but does he have to hate us?"

Not only Zhang Wei couldn't figure it out, but neither could He Xin and Lin Jie.

Especially thinking about the donations they made to him, they regretted it deeply—they should've just thrown away that money instead of giving it to him.

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Luo Fei sighed, "How should I put it? It's like when a beam of light shines into the darkness, that beam becomes guilty."

In simple terms, it meant that Old Wu's heart had completely twisted.

"Geez, there's something seriously wrong with this guy..."

Luo Fei discussed with them for a moment, then quickly sat down to draft the case summary report.

Fortunately, it was just a temporary report for Zheng Changjun, so it didn't need to be too detailed, since a more formal report would follow.

He finished it in about half an hour.
