"Mr. Luo, just now, Ah Kun called, but his breathing was very weak. I kept calling him, but he didn't respond. Do you think he was following that villain and got discovered?"

Cai Junfeng's voice clearly carried some fear.

He seemed terrified that something might happen to the other party.

Luo Fei immediately realized the severity of the issue.

"Old Cai, don't get too worked up."

"I'll ask Su Jianfan to locate Ah Kun's current position right away. Maybe that will tell us where he is."

Ding!

Almost simultaneously.

Luo Fei received a call in the duty room from Ma Liguo.

"Mr. Luo, Lin Zimo just came to the police station again. She said she wants to talk to you alone."

"I asked her what the matter was, but she won't say. Do you think this little girl might be in trouble and urgently needs help?"

Ma Liguo seemed a bit uncertain.

His tone carried some unease.

Having kids himself, he was genuinely worried this young girl might be in big trouble.

Luo Fei, hearing Ma Liguo's intent, reassured.

"Old Ma, don't worry. I think this girl might not be in too much trouble. It's possible she just wants to inquire indirectly about Boss Jin."

Luo Fei had already decided.

Once he was not too busy for a while.

To chat with Lin Zimo alone.

This might assist Luo Fei in finding some clues.

To better understand the little girl's inner world.

If he could offer her some help.

Then his efforts wouldn't have been in vain.

Ring, ring!

A while later.

As Luo Fei returned to the major crime unit.

Su Jianfan had already sent the address.

"Mr. Luo, we just locked onto Ah Kun's car through surveillance. He's currently at a Fast Bar hotel in the outskirts."

"Old Cai and I are heading there. We can meet there shortly!"

"Alright."

Luo Fei's expression was calm.

His tone indifferent.

Which made Li Yu beside him hesitate a bit.

"Mr. Luo, do you think Ah Kun is alright?"

Luo Fei didn't answer but said two words.

"Let's go."

Of course, Luo Fei wouldn't say he was also uncertain inside.

But he had previously told Ah Kun to be careful and not act on his own.

However, unfortunately, Ah Kun wouldn't listen.

Which led to today's situation.

A while later.

Changli City, Ludong County.

Inside room 304 of the Fast Bar Hotel.

Old Cai and some nurses bandaged Ah Kun.

Then sent him onto the ambulance.

"Patient Xu Haikun, age 34."

"Multiple knife wounds on the body, signs of a sneak attack on the back of his head."

"The culprit used a utility knife or similar small tool. Though the wounds aren't deep, they're on vital organs."

"Luckily, hotel staff discovered him promptly and called the police. Otherwise, the consequences would've been unimaginable."

Saying this.

Cai Junfeng's voice choked.

"Sorry Mr. Luo, I can't report anymore..."

Seeing Cai Junfeng turn his head aside.

Eyes red.

Face full of anger and guilt.

Luo Fei could only quickly comfort.

"Old Cai, this is not your fault. It's not you who told him to act alone. So you don't need to blame yourself too much."

Hearing Luo Fei's reassurance.

Old Cai shook his head repeatedly.

"Mr. Luo, you don't need to say more. I know it's my inadequacy."

"If I had realized earlier that Ah Kun planned to act alone, he wouldn't be so seriously injured now."

But seeing Old Cai so emotional.

Wei Xiaochen couldn't help but frown.

"Old Cai, you can't blame this on yourself, right? You had previously warned him not to act on his own, but he wouldn't listen. So even if something happened now, no one else is to blame."

Wei Xiaochen said this.

Cai Junfeng pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Mr. Luo, we must find a way to bring that murderous guy to justice. Not only did he commit a crime, but he also harmed our police officers, which is utterly despicable."

Luo Fei nodded repeatedly.

"Rest assured, Su Jianfan just went with the trace unit to retrieve surveillance and gather hotel staff testimonies. Through their descriptions, we should roughly determine the suspect's appearance, further assessing his identity."

"... Mr. Luo, we've found out."

Almost simultaneously.

Su Jianfan walked over quickly.

His expression heavy as he informed Luo Fei.

"Your previous judgment was correct. It's the work of that murderer. From the retrieved footage, it seems Ah Kun was following him and got discovered. He deliberately left the TV on and the door slightly ajar."

"Letting Ah Kun into the room, then quickly shutting the door to attack him from behind."

"Judging by the methods used, he might be a habitual offender, possibly a retired member of an overseas organization, definitely a seasoned professional."

Upon hearing this information.

And watching the surveillance footage.

Luo Fei and his team could basically confirm.

Su Jianfan's reasoning was accurate. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But knowing the suspect's astonishing skills, far beyond an ordinary person.

Luo Fei couldn't help but frown.

"In this case, it'll be quite difficult for us to find him."

"And given his rapid offense method, always elusive, if we continue the investigation in Changli City, the result might be hard to achieve..."

But before Luo Fei finished.

Cai Junfeng furiously punched the nearby wardrobe.

Only hearing a thump, the wardrobe door shattered accordingly.

It was the first time Luo Fei saw Old Cai this angry.

So he could only quickly comfort.

"Old Cai, don't get worked up."

Cai Junfeng still pinched his philtrum, his face full of complex emotions.

"Mr. Luo, I know nobody wanted this to happen."

"But I watched Ah Kun grow up step by step, knowing the difficulties he faced to turn over a new leaf and become a new person."

Cai Junfeng genuinely couldn't imagine.

If Ah Kun doesn't pull through this time.

What kind of mood he'd be in?

Just thinking about it.

He couldn't help but feel his nose tingle.

Luo Fei could only finish briefing the nearby hotel attendants.

And confirmed compensation for the hotel's losses.

Only then did he prepare to leave with Cai Junfeng and the others.

That evening.

Ma Liguo found a barbecue stall.

Although gathered here.

Everyone present was in a complex mood.

Internally filled with mixed emotions.

No longer the pleasant atmosphere from earlier.

"Folks, I genuinely apologize, seems I shouldn't have come to see Mr. Luo today, making everyone upset."

"My timing was wrong, shouldn't have appeared in this setting. So I will self-punish with three glasses."

With Li Jiazhen speaking first.

Breaking the silence.

Luo Fei quickly comforted.

"Mr. Li, you don't need to be too concerned. I also believe this has nothing to do with you; it's not necessarily your fault. So you don't need to shoulder all the responsibility."

Luo Fei invited Li Jiazhen over originally to verify his previous suspicions.

Indeed, as he expected.

After Li Jiazhen entered the prison.

Wei Mingjun proactively approached, as a friend, hoping he would stop defaming Liao Yongwen.

"That President Wei, although usually laughing and joking, outwardly having good relations with everyone, internally, we all understand his motives. He is unwaveringly siding with Liao Yongwen while also playing the peacemaker. That's all."

Seeing a hint of self-mockery in Li Jiazhen.

Laughing at himself for once being blind.

Willing to be friends with Wei Mingjun and Liao Yongwen.

Now, instead, stabbed in the back by previous friends.

First pushed forward facing trouble.

Feeling a mix of emotions internally.

Luo Fei found it difficult to say more.

"Li Jiazhen, after this detention ends, your situation might be risky. So please be extra careful."
