Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Then he went downstairs with everyone to have a little breakfast. As soon as work commenced at eight, Zhao Donglai excitedly dragged him off to report.

Zheng Changjun didn't expect that in just one night, they actually caught the person, and he couldn't stop smiling the whole time.

"Ha ha, Donglai, Luo Fei, I knew I didn't misjudge you. You both did a great job!"

Since this case happened, he hadn't been able to hold his head up in the province, and he had been ridiculed quite a bit when he applied before.

Now that the case was solved so quickly, he could finally hold his head high again.

Zheng Changjun, in his joy, repeatedly expressed that not only would he credit the two of them, but he would also request a commendation for them from the province and reminded them to perform well in the future.

The two naturally agreed at once.

At this moment, Zheng Changjun's phone rang.

With a bright demeanor, he answered, "Wucheng, what's up?"

Whatever Wucheng said on the other end made his smile freeze suddenly and he exclaimed, "What's happening, explain clearly!"

"..."

Zheng Changjun's expression grew graver and after hanging up the phone, his earlier happiness was completely gone.

"Donglai, I've got a matter to attend to, so you guys go back first."

"What's wrong, Director Zheng? Did something happen on Director Wu's side?"

Zhao Donglai asked with concern.

"Ah, Wucheng just said that Wang Qianqian died in the line of duty."

"What, how could this happen... Wasn't he undercover in the drug cartel a while ago, could it be…"

"Hmm, it's said that the drug dealers might have figured out his identity, but Wucheng didn't explain it too clearly."

Both realized the seriousness of the situation and didn't ask any more questions, voicing a brief farewell before leaving.

Walking down the road, Zhao Donglai sighed, "Director Wu said before that Wang Qianqian would be promoted after catching the drug trafficking gang in one swoop. But at such a crucial moment, something happened. Life is indeed unpredictable sometimes..."

Luo Fei didn't have much interaction with Wang Qianqian, but he knew him to be a person full of integrity, so such a thing was indeed hard to accept...

Criminal Investigation Team.

Wang Tao sensed something was off the moment he entered the team today.

Everyone seemed to look at him in an odd way.

At first, he thought it was because of the case. Though his face wasn't looking good, he braced himself and walked into the Office of Group Three.

Last night, when Zhao Donglai told him to go off-duty, he was quite embarrassed and went home in a huff.

But the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. Once the case was resolved, Luo Fei would undoubtedly be the greatest contributor. With that, he and Zhao Donglai would definitely establish themselves in the criminal investigation team.

By then, would there still be anything good left for him?

He pondered over this all night, finally making up his mind to bow down to the two of them first.

Of course, he planned to first find out about the progress of the case from Li Jun.

However, after asking, Li Jun didn't tell him what he wanted to know. Instead, he looked at him with a complicated expression.

It was only when Wang Tao felt uncomfortable under his gaze that the other spoke in a meaningful tone.

"Wang Tao, you'd better take the initiative to admit your fault to Zhao. Old Wu was arrested last night, he claimed it was you who slipped up."

Li Jun watched his face turn ashen at once and sighed, "What's wrong with you? You're an experienced detective; how could you make such a mistake?"

Ultimately, Wang Tao had to come in awkwardly and left the building in a state of disarray.

Zhao Donglai and Luo Fei had just reached the floor of the police team when Wang Tao greeted them at the staircase with a flattering smile.

"Captain Zhao, Team Leader."

At that time, he no longer had the arrogance of the past two days, looking deflated.

Luo Fei didn't bother to respond, "Captain Zhao, I'm going in first."

"Alright, go ahead."

Zhao Donglai said as he finally looked at Wang Tao, "Come with me to the office."

His cold tone made Wang Tao uneasy, and he followed Zhao Donglai nervously.

No one knew what was said to him, but after Wang Tao came out, he didn't return to Group One's office and instead went home despondently.

Until Zhao Donglai called a small meeting and announced Wang Tao's punishment in public.

"In view of Group One member Wang Tao's serious violation of police team discipline, and revealing work-related details which nearly led to a major disaster, it has been decided to suspend him temporarily. Additionally, I have reported this matter truthfully."

"Upon verification, a final decision regarding him will be made. I hope everyone can learn from this and avoid making similar mistakes."

Hearing this result, everyone was a bit rueful.

Zhao Donglai's handling was considered proper; he didn't use this as an opportunity for revenge due to Wang Tao's earlier troublemaking. The approach was standard procedure.

But everyone knew internally that with such an incident, even if Wang Tao wasn't removed, he couldn't expect to stay in the police team in the future.

Moreover, given his situation, demotion was likely.

Considering his age, getting back up again would be difficult, essentially ending his career prospects.

He was truly foolish...

Despite being colleagues, many felt sorry for Wang Tao, but they also understood he brought this on himself.

After the meeting, Luo Fei returned to his office, recalling that Zhao Donglai had asked him to inform Zheng Bei's family.

Due to Zheng Huan's schooling issues earlier, he had saved Tang Cuifang's phone number, but he wasn't sure if directly calling her would be acceptable.

So after thinking for a while, he decided to call Yang Mei first.

After all, she's quite adept at calming elders, so she could convey the message in the middle.

The phone rang twice before it was quickly picked up.

Yang Mei's cheerful voice came through, "Luo Fei, why do you have time to call me now, aren't you busy today?"

"Yang Mei, there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it, go ahead."

"It's about the suspect in your mentor's case being caught. Could you..." help notify Aunt Tang.

Luo Fei had just half-finished his sentence when Yang Mei's voice suddenly escalated in surprise, "The case is solved?"

At that moment in the technical office, Yang Mei was so shocked she sprang up from her chair, her sudden movement drawing curious looks from Wu Xiaoyue and the others.

But Yang Mei didn't bother about anything else. Once she heard Luo Fei confirm it, she became extremely excited.

"Alright, I'll request leave immediately and bring Aunt Tang to the city!"

Shotping off the call, she rushed out.

Wu Xiaoyue called out gossipy behind her, "Sister Yang Mei, what's caught, did Luo Fei solve another big case?"

However, Yang Mei had already run out of sight. Just as Wu Xiaoyue pouted, thinking she wouldn't get any news, Yang Mei suddenly returned.

"It's my mentor's case. Luo Fei caught the murderer!"

After saying that, she darted back towards Yang Su's office, leaving the other three in shocked stillness as if struck by lightning.

"Di-did she just say Captain Zheng's case is solved?"

"Please tell me my ears are working."

"Anyway, that's what I heard…"

Office.

Yang Mei burst in with her first sentence, "Captain Yang, I need a day off!"

"Yang Mei, what's happened?"

Yang Su looked surprised.

"My mentor's case is solved, and I want to bring Aunt Tang to the city."

Hearing this, Yang Su was equally shocked, almost at a loss, "What did you say?"

"Captain Yang, you heard right. The murderer of my mentor has been caught by Luo Fei."

!!!

Luo Fei had only been in the city for a few days, and he actually solved the 3.11 dismemberment case?

But they hadn't found any leads, how did Luo Fei manage?

Wait, wasn't this case transferred to the provincial level?

The amount of information was overwhelming, and for a moment, Yang Su felt his head wasn't enough.

Before he could think about what to ask, Yang Mei was already impatient, "Captain Yang, I'll head off now."

"Alright, you better hurry."

After she left, Yang Su also called Zhao Donglai, full of questions.

Hearing he was calling about this matter, Zhao Donglai confirmed it was true. Since they were all on the same team and it didn't involve revealing specific details, it wasn't a breach of rules to disclose this.

After Yang Su received this confirmation, he was left with mixed feelings and countless questions as he put down the phone.

Luo Fei had been transferred and could no longer follow him to share his success. Instead, someone else would get to bask in victory by proxy, and they might never experience such a thing again.
