Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 444 - 219: Madness in Broad Daylight_2

Previously, I was risking my life fighting against the gang in Binhai, engaging in battles, rescuing hostages, getting involved in hospital shootouts, and even storming into their headquarters for gunfights, only to end up with just ten thousand Gold Coins.

Now merely upgrading the store costs thirty thousand? That’s outrageous.

However, for me at the moment, these so-called upgrades aren’t necessary. The talents I possess and the unpurchased ones are sufficient to meet my current needs.

"Purchase the Mind Nexus talent at max level!"

Click!

With a crisp sound of Gold Coins disappearing, the payment went through successfully. I now have a balance of 2,000 Gold Coins but acquired a new skill, the Mind Nexus talent.

According to the system’s explanation, this Mind Nexus helps stabilize my mind in chaotic environments and confines my thought inspirations within a fixed space.

Reasoning and thinking are unaffected by any external factors.

It’s like having someone next to me relay information which can be effectively filtered out, enabling me to devise precise plans in the shortest time possible.

In short, it’s a mental boost, with no side effects.

"Not bad."

This new talent is particularly useful for me in organizing the case when dealing with ordinary investigations.

Unaffected by external disturbances, and able to consolidate all clues in the shortest time, paired with profiling, this is simply a super powerful method.

Just then, Yang Mei came back and saw Luo Fei smiling foolishly here, looking curious.

"What’s so good?"

"Uh, I was saying the desserts in this store are quite good. How about we take a stroll down the nearby pedestrian street?"

"Sure."

Yang Mei smiled as she wrapped her arm around his, cherishing this rare alone time; it truly felt nice.

Soon, they arrived at the nearest pedestrian street, where preparations for the year’s end decorations had begun. Red lanterns, large gift boxes, and various festive red decorations lined the way.

"This is our first year together, really nice."

"I didn’t know you could be so sentimental; I can’t mock you as a straightforward guy anymore, you’ve improved considerably."

Listening to Yang Mei teasing him, Luo Fei chuckled wryly.

He really couldn’t rebut her remark; his past confessions and declarations of love were somewhat embarrassing, straightforward to a fault, a bit clumsy and silly.

While the two enjoyed their stroll, suddenly a cry was heard not far away, as a woman stumbled out from the corner of the street, running toward them.

A man was sprinting away with a child in his arms ahead.

The two of them were in pursuit, with the woman frantically shouting behind, looking somewhat out of her mind.

Only when one’s child is taken does one exhibit such a state!

"Give me back my child! Ah, ah, quick, give them back!"

What’s happening?

Someone’s snatching a child in broad daylight, is there no law? Luo Fei suddenly dashed in the man’s escape direction.

The man also shouted as he ran, continually shooing away anyone in his path, but his voice seemed rushed.

"Please block that crazy woman, she’s delusional, she wants to take my son, and keeps pestering me, please help me call the police."

The central area of the pedestrian street was suddenly in chaos.

Many pedestrians stopped to watch the commotion.

And some were caught in the middle of the pursuit, causing further disorder.

Yang Mei and Luo Fei hurried to check, but by now, Luo Fei’s eyes were firmly locked on the man.

The man was highly suspicious.

This wasn’t conjecture; it’s based on the investigative judgment and instinctive reactions I’ve honed from handling so many cases.

If this man truly was the child’s father, with his physique and strength, he could easily stay and confront the woman he called crazy.

There was no need for such a panicked escape, like a guilty person!

His action of shooing away pedestrians further betrayed his guilty conscience.

The justification he gave was just to muddy the waters, attracting curious bystanders to delay for himself.

"Stop right there!"

Luo Fei couldn’t care less about anything else; what’s crucial now is to stop this person.

After all, I’m still a cop.

Anything, he can pause and speak, so he kicked high and aimed directly at the man’s back; even in a crowd, his speed was extraordinarily swift.

The man, taken by surprise, was kicked over almost instantly, as if struck by a cannonball.

"Ah—"

With a scream, the child in the man’s arms was flung into the air.

Luo Fei reacted quickly, dashing forward to catch the child.

The child appeared to be only about three years old, small in arms.

After ensuring the child’s safety, Luo Fei spun around, a fierce intimidating aura emanating from his gaze like a beast staring down its prey.

The overwhelming aura held the man frozen in place.

The woman from behind rushed in to grab the child, then began kowtowing in gratitude, crying uncontrollably.

Only then did people snap out of the intense situation that had just occurred.

Unaware of what just happened, Luo Fei took out his ID from his pocket and presented it to the crowd with a serious tone.

"I’m a police officer!"

"The situation was urgent just now; this man is suspicious, his attitude towards women and children is inappropriate, his escape indicates a guilty conscience. My actions were to control the scene and resolve the dispute. Anyone insisting on taking photos must bear all consequences!"

His words were crisp and compelling, and the surrounding crowd, intending to capture on their phones, put them away compliantly.

Swayed by Luo Fei’s succinct explanation, they began to praise and cheer.

Because they also noticed something was wrong here.

At first, everything happened so quickly; they were all confused, struggling to discern right from wrong.

But now, with Luo Fei’s analysis, the situation became instantly clear.

Holding the frightened child, the woman expressed gratitude, bowing to Luo Fei and Yang Mei who had rushed over, while recounting the earlier event.

Just now, she had merely turned to buy a snack; when she looked back, her child in the stroller had been taken by a man.

Fortunately, she reacted swiftly and chased immediately, otherwise, the child would have been long gone and impossible to catch.

The man restrained by Luo Fei was already in great panic.

He wanted to flee but dared not; being kicked felt like being hit by a bullet, now in pain, and he dared not move rashly.

Suddenly, a van sped toward them from a distance.

No matter what, this is a crowded downtown district. Driving so recklessly poses significant safety risks. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

However, the van plowed through without any concern, cutting lanes and swerving wildly, intentionally causing chaos rather than any vehicle mishap.

Luo Fei looked towards the approaching van, feeling a deep sense of unease.

The surrounding crowd also descended into panic, leading to a stampede accident.

The van came to a stop not far from the man, and Luo Fei cast a glance to the driver; a ferocious-looking individual sat behind the wheel, not seeming like a good person.

The man on the ground raised his arm for aid.

"Third Brother, save me!"

Just as I suspected, they indeed were accomplices.

In the midst of his anguished cries, a head suddenly poked out from the car window; it was a man in the passenger seat.

The man wore sunglasses, masking his face, and raised his hand.

This action instantly frightened everyone around into shrieks of terror, Luo Fei was also taken aback; black light traced the outline, and the cold, black aperture hinted at lethal intent.

It was a gun!

Chaos erupted in the crowd; the sight of a firearm triggered an innate, primal fear.

Luo Fei swiftly turned to shield Yang Mei.

In that very moment—

the gun fired.
