Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Later, by visiting the head of the gold store, they indeed found the acquisition records from their accounts, so the evidence chain for the stolen goods was also clarified.

As for the firearm clues, although they had successfully tracked down the seller, since the seller's registered residence was not in the city, Zhao Donglai directly contacted the local police to save time and requested their assistance in the investigation.

Selling firearms is already considered a major case, so the local police attached great importance to it and immediately stated they would provide results no later than next Tuesday.

It's heard that the bureau is also discussing compensation with Guo Jing and his father.

However, as for how to compensate, that's what Zheng Changjun and his team need to worry about.

Luo Fei took some time to visit Old Wu in the detention center.

It wasn't to boast, but mainly to complete the entire evidence chain, so it was necessary to find out how Old Wu discovered Guo Peng.

Learning that he caught the murderer so quickly, Old Wu was naturally very disappointed.

He soon explained the reason.

On the sixth day of last year's first lunar month, the cafeteria was still on holiday, Old Wu didn't have to work and had nowhere to go, so he stayed home and slept the whole day.

Just happened to oversleep that day, he didn't remember to go out to eat something until after nine o'clock in the evening.

After finishing his meal and returning, he happened to encounter Guo Peng frantically running into the community.

Out of curiosity, he paid closer attention and saw the other stopping by the community's garbage station.

Guo Peng seemed to pull something out from his down jacket and throw it into the trash can, but accidentally dropped several stacks of cash onto the ground.

Panic-stricken, he bent down to pick them up, while glancing around. Luckily, Old Wu happened to stand in a dark spot and wasn't noticed.

Old Wu was curious at the time about where such a young kid got so much money.

So after Guo Peng left, he specifically looked into the trash can to see what was thrown away and discovered it was a hood and a toy gun.

A couple of days later, the news spread about Zhang Yanhua being robbed, leading Old Wu to conclude that Guo Peng was the culprit.

Initially, he intended to inform Lu Jianfei about the situation, but unexpectedly, everyone didn't take it seriously and just joked and teased him.

After being humiliated by Li Qian, not only did he give up the idea of providing clues, but he resolved to commit the crime to seek revenge on the police...

Upon learning of this situation, Zhao Donglai couldn't help but sigh, "The saying that trouble comes from the mouth is indeed reasonable."

"Sometimes everyone should really be mindful of what they say and do. Perhaps you consider it merely a joke, but who knows whether you might unknowingly offend someone? Be cautious in the future."

Meanwhile, the municipal bureau immediately formed an investigation team.

Everyone, except the voluntarily returned Lu Jianfei, Wang Tao, Zhou Lei, and the members of Group One, were called to the municipal bureau for investigation, with Zhou Lei and Wang Tao as the key subjects of the investigation.

Considering the extremely adverse impact of the incident, the investigation team acted quickly, and within about a day, the investigation was nearly complete.

The truth of the matter was indeed much like Luo Fei and his team had previously estimated.

It was indeed Wang Tao and Zhou Lei's selfish motives that led to this wrongful accusation.

Initially, after Guo Jing was arrested, he continued to deny committing murder, so Zhou Lei was somewhat uncertain and wanted to redefine the investigation direction.

Unfortunately, Wang Tao was adamant that he was the murderer and felt that re-examining the direction was not only a waste of time but also increased workload, persuading him to abandon the idea.

At the time, Zhou Lei happened to be competing for the position of captain of the inspection team, eagerly wanting to achieve results to stand out from the candidates' list.

Driven by impulsive decisions, he agreed with Wang Tao's view, and the two adjusted the records to eliminate factors unfavorable to the case, assuming Guo Jing was the murderer.

As for Wang Tao's reasons for doing so, they were even simpler.

He was the most senior member of Group One, and if Zhou Lei's position as group leader was vacated, he would surely take over.

Lu Jianfei, serving as captain, was under tremendous pressure due to Old Wu's case, so he desired to solve the case swiftly to avoid people thinking that Jiangzhou's police were incompetent.

In such an urgent mindset, coupled with Zhou Lei and Wang Tao's intentional misleading, he overlooked those unreasonable details.

Looking back, the most wronged people in the whole incident were He Xin and the other two.

Because they had questioned it but were fooled due to their trust in their colleagues, leading them to shoulder the blame together.

Luo Fei and Zhao Donglai learned of this result on Monday morning.

After reporting the progress of Guo Peng's case, Zheng Changjun brought up the matter proactively.

"…Do you think Zhou Lei was blinded by greed? Lu Jianfei mentioned him to me long ago, even if he didn't succeed in the competition then, I would still prioritize him for suitable positions in the future."

"…Now it's all gone, don't even think about being captain of the inspection team. Whether he can keep a job is still uncertain."

Speaking of this, Zheng Changjun became infuriated.

Zhao Donglai didn't know how to console him and could only ask, "Director Zheng, what about Captain Lu, will he be affected?"

"It's uncertain right now, this incident has such a significant impact that even I have to make a review, and I can only report their issues to the higher-ups. Only after discussion can it be determined how these individuals will be disciplined."

"However, Lu Jianfei has accomplished a lot over the years, plus your timely discovery, I suspect leniency might be extended to him."

"Then I'm relieved… Oh, Director Zheng, can I ask for leniency for Zhang Wei and He Xin and the other three."

"They were unaware of this situation, so perhaps impose some penalty but don't remove them from their positions, otherwise, there'll be no one left in that group."

For the main responsible figures like Lu Jianfei, Zhou Lei, and Wang Tao, Zheng Changjun couldn't make decisions, but for secondary individuals, he certainly had a say.

Thus, he nodded, "I'll report this situation to the higher-ups."

Zhao Donglai hurriedly expressed gratitude.

After stepping outside.

He glanced at Luo Fei, "Well, now you can finally feel reassured."

"Thank you, Captain Zhao, once this issue is resolved, I'll have the three of them treat you to a meal."

"Haha, a meal isn't necessary..."

Zhao Donglai waved his hand, smiling as he made his way toward the elevator.

The moment the elevator arrived, as the doors opened, Pan Hu and Jiang Chuang walked out.

"Director Jiang."

The two quickly greeted.

Pan Hu saw Luo Fei and immediately approached with a smile, "Luo Fei, I heard Director Jiang saying you solved a wrongful case?"

"Impressive, only back for a few days and already made a contribution again... young man has potential!"

"Captain Pan, don't joke, it's just luck on my part."

Luo Fei humbly said a couple of words, "By the way, Captain Pan, how do you have the time to come by today."

"The previous drug trafficking case has been cleared up, I'm here to report the work to Director Jiang and Director Zheng."

Pan Hu said, directly wrapping an arm around Luo Fei's shoulder, "Just right, you're the main contributor in this case, let's report it together. Old Zhao won't mind lending me your man for a while."

Zhao Donglai rolled his eyes at him, "Luo Fei, I'll head back now."

Luo Fei followed Pan Hu and Jiang Chuang back to Zheng Changjun's office.

After briefly reporting the situation, Pan Hu enthusiastically said, "Director Zheng, this case being solved quickly is largely due to Luo Fei."

"You wouldn't believe how exceptional he is, sitting in a car blindfolded, he can smoothly locate the drug-making den. Such talent is truly wasted in the criminal police team; I think only in the anti-drug team can he truly unleash his potential!"

"Pan Hu, shut up!"

Right as Pan Hu finished speaking, an angry voice suddenly echoed from outside the door.

At that moment, Zhao Donglai, whom everyone thought had left, burst in angrily, glaring at him, "What's with saying the criminal police team is wasting talent? Shamelessly trying to poach my man!"

He was incredibly thankful he had the foresight to turn around and come back.

Otherwise, he would have missed this old sly fox scheming away.

Pan Hu was startled, wiping his nose and nervously smiling, "Old Zhao, you—you haven't left yet?"

"If I had left, you would have succeeded, wouldn't you? Let me tell you, Luo Fei belongs to our criminal police team; lending him to help is already a huge favor. You want to poach him, no way!"
