Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 562 - 277 Racing Against Time

"Old Luo, we have news, we have news!"

Liao Xingyu’s voice suddenly came from outside the laboratory, and then he rushed in with two printed sheets, his eyes bloodshot from exhaustion.

It was clear that he had been staring at the data for three hours straight.

Luo Fei and Zhao Donglai hurried over. On the sheets were two similar totems.

He brought them for Luo Fei to compare. Just from the outline and structure, they were identical to the tattoos left on that mysterious person.

"It seems your investigation direction is correct. These totems indeed originate from two counties in Jiangzhou City, but these counties are quite far apart, one in the northeast, the other in the southwest."

"No rush."

Luo Fei looked at the materials in his hand, clearly marked, showing two totems: one symbolizing loyalty and heroism, the Black Tiger mark, and the other symbolizing steadiness, the Lying Tiger totem.

The general design of these two markings was basically the same as the mysterious person’s tattoo. It was indeed an uncommon situation.

"Both are possible, but the distance is indeed a bit far."

One is in Wengu County, the other in Fengyun County.

However, narrowing it down to these two counties was already quite sufficient.

Even if they were to split up and investigate now, there were still plenty of opportunities, but Luo Fei sat there silently, arousing some curiosity from others.

Zhao Donglai asked what he was waiting for. Luo Fei calmly raised his head and tapped the table.

"Waiting for news; it should be soon, just wait a bit more..."

Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang, and Luo Fei received a message, verifying the identity of that mysterious person.

The moment he saw the document was in place, he quickly sent it to the work group, notifying everyone about the information of that previous deceased person.

One of the six in the explosion group, the abandoned one.

"Zhao Jie, male, twenty-five years old, from Tongxiang County, Jiangzhou City, Taian Province, middle school graduate?"

"It’s incredible that someone with such an education could create such sophisticated bombs. Isn’t it a bit exaggerated, or could he really be a genius?"

Liao Xingyu was a bit puzzled.

"It’s just one possibility."

Zhao Donglai was also earnestly reviewing the materials on him.

"Education doesn’t determine everything. He might have talents and abilities in these areas, discovered later, and followed others onto the wrong path. The people in the explosion group are not easy to deal with, definitely not to be judged by common logic."

"Well, it is indeed one explanation."

Liao Xingyu nodded.

"But his background doesn’t belong to the chosen range we identified; neither Wengu County nor Fengyun County matches, and Tongxiang County doesn’t have any of the totems I found."

"Old Luo, do you think...?"

"Old Luo?"

Liao Xingyu and Zhao Donglai both looked towards Luo Fei, who was deep in thought, causing them to quiet down and continue waiting.

Luo Fei was engaged in an internal struggle in his mind, a battle between heaven and man.

The place of Tongxiang County didn’t belong to those two alternative options in his knowledge, but what did that signify?

If all six people had this tattoo, then it very likely represented the place of their bond.

Acting together, moving together.

All evidence pointed to the significance of that tattoo. Being distracted by personal data would almost ruin everything.

Suddenly, he thought of something and called, but the line was busy.

He was trying to reach Li Jun and Zhou Fan, but no one picked up, so he had to wait. This was the last step of his layout, just waiting for this moment.

"Hello, Old Luo, what is it?"

Finally, Zhou Fan called back.

"How’s it going on your side? Have you identified any results?"

"We were just about to let you know, they scattered in different directions, we almost caught those guys."

"What?"

Since Luo Fei had turned on speakerphone, they all heard it, but everyone was surprised.

"Tell us more, what’s the situation on your side?"

Despite some noise, Zhou Fan found a more suitable place to talk and explained the inspection situation on-site.

At that time, everyone focused on inspecting hotels and guest houses along the route, not paying attention to other locations.

As Luo Fei put it, the main goal was to startle the snake out of its hole.

As long as it forced these people to move temporarily, it could delay their actions, and the following explosion plans would also be postponed.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.

While inspecting outside one of the housing complexes, Zhou Fan surprisingly discovered a mysterious man purchasing supplies outside.

The man was still wearing a black windbreaker with a hood, but after bumping into Zhou Fan, he instantly bolted, such behavior was tantamount to an admission.

If he hadn’t acted this way, he might have slipped by unnoticed, but due to fear and anxiety, Zhou Fan captured this detail and pursued with others.

This pursuit unexpectedly blew their entire hideout wide open.

No one expected these people to have entered a housing complex on South Ring Road and kidnapped one of the residents, where the six of them were temporarily staying...

Now, due to exposure, they had to evacuate.

However, these people moved extremely fast, climbing from the rooftop, using grappling hooks to escape, much like the parkour experts seen on television.
