Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 536 - 264: Another Master?

The next day Luo Fei and Zhao Donglai acted early.

The two set out early in the morning. Because the weather was not good, they didn’t plan to drive and took the bus directly.

It’s not far from the crime scene, only a half-hour ride away.

Soon they arrived at the first recorded place in the document: East Changling Road!

According to the recorded content in the document, the first missing person, Feng Jianyi, was supposed to return home from North Changling Road, which is a major intersection. After passing the guardhouse ahead, you will see two diverging roads.

The west and south are the two main roads passing through here, while east and north are the directions the vehicles head next.

Even on a foggy day, it’s impossible to get the direction wrong.

The only possibility is that Feng Jianyi was in a confused state at the time and took the wrong road.

He was supposed to go upward, but instead chose the left, unknowingly turning into East Changling Road.

"Luo Fei, the document says he likes gambling and has a bad temper. Such people might encounter revenge."

"Even if it’s not revenge, those who inherently dislike him could cause trouble, and this kind of fate is unavoidable."

Luo Fei nodded with a smile.

That’s quite reasonable. Following this train of thought to explore those game rooms and card friends might really yield something.

"Why aren’t you speaking?"

Zhao Donglai was a bit puzzled since, at this stage, Luo Fei would normally speak his mind, which seemed unusual now.

"Captain Zhao, I have a thought."

Luo Fei suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking very serious.

"Given the current situation, two employees from Wenshan No. 6 Mine have disappeared, so we should handle these two cases together with a unified approach."

"There are no such special coincidences in the world, so the person targeting these two must have some commonality."

"Either the same hatred or similar conflicts, and card friends may not be convincing."

"Because if we follow this reasoning, Liang Deng went drinking socially, but are drink buddies the ones who perpetrated? Such a scope for investigation is too broad."

Zhao Donglai pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and pounded on Luo Fei’s back.

"Hahaha, you kid, so capable yet you played me, you had such analysis long ago and didn’t say earlier, making me feel awkward!"

"Captain Zhao, you’re overthinking, we’re brothers after all."

Hearing the other’s teasing reproach, Luo Fei responded with a mischievous grin.

Zhao Donglai, given his age, immediately understood the underlying meaning in the other’s words, grabbed Luo Fei, and locked his throat while gnashing his teeth in anger.

"You brat, making fun of me!"

"After you get together and marry Yang Mei, you’ll have to call me uncle, and yet now you start calling me brother, who’s your brother!"

"Hahahaha, uncle, my mistake, my mistake."

Only then did Zhao Donglai release the other, but still had a proud look.

"How many times have I told you, use official titles at work."

"Understood, Captain Zhao, I’m just too eager to improve."

The two exchanged a glance and laughed.

Jokes aside, inspections must be conducted.

Today, East Changling Road still didn’t have many people. Although the weather was slightly cool, it did not affect pedestrian traffic, yet the place was surprisingly deserted.

Luo Fei and the others noticed something seemed off.

Why is it that an extension of a main road has so few people and cars? What exactly is going on?

"Hold on, I have a solution."

"Look at this trick!"

Then Zhao Donglai mysteriously took out his phone and started browsing short videos, choosing those of local people.

Sure enough, he found that several nearby zones were undergoing road works, reaching the crucial stage of excavating and laying pipes, with the furthest entrance of East Changling Road already isolated by a barricade.

Some vloggers wanting to shoot video here couldn’t even show up.

Additionally, the cars coming from behind had to turn around, so basically no people or cars would go to this place.

At first, there might be some, but after several days, the nearby residents mostly avoided this route.

"This is really strange, how did this guy come across here?"

Luo Fei looked at the rather desolate surroundings and grew more puzzled.

Anyone with a keen sense of direction wouldn’t misstep to here; why did Feng Jianyi make this mistake? Did he forget the way home?

Beside him, Zhao Donglai thoughtfully started to explain.

"Drunkenness is one reason. I suspect he also lost badly at gambling, a person unlucky both at drinking and playing is likely to be somewhat out of it."

"Have you never been drunk?"

"Honestly, no."

"Do you gamble?"

"I hardly play."

To Luo Fei’s answer, Zhao Donglai showed a look of amusement, then gave him a thumbs-up.

"Well said, definitely an aspiring youth."

Now we’ve figured out why Feng Jianyi came here; the question remains, how did he disappear?

Based on the current known situation, one probability can be analyzed: someone was tailing him all along!

From the moment Feng Jianyi was targeted, someone has been operating in secret, choosing East Changling Road as the final ambush site, which currently seems the only reasonable explanation.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the murderer would have ambushed at North Changling Road.

No one expected Feng Jianyi would take a turn and end up east, meaning the likelihood of him being followed is substantial.
