Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 715 - 351: Her past? He uncovered it!_2
"Officer Luo was right. The training class was so popular at the time that most people believed in supernatural powers, especially with the support of many scientists and experts."
"At times like that, if anyone stepped forward to say that supernatural powers were fake, they'd likely be crushed by public opinion."
Lin Qingshan didn't know what to do with his hands.
He clearly felt somewhat guilty towards Su Fangfang.
But Luo Fei was quite calm.
"Officer Lin, to be fair. Technology wasn't advanced back in those days. A child as young as Su Fangfang probably didn't even have a beeper. Even if she did, it would likely have been confiscated during a search. Let alone collecting evidence."
"Officer Luo is right. We actually thought about sending someone undercover into the training class at the time, but it all ended in failure. Two of our colleagues were even beaten up for impersonating instructors."
Lin Qingshan knew very well that to make an arrest, solid evidence was needed.
Without enough evidence, they couldn't apply for a search warrant either.
Plus, whenever experts and scholars came to the school to conduct interviews,
they would always get wind of it in advance and respond accordingly.
All the students were angry but didn't dare to speak out and had to obediently pretend as they were taught by their teachers and headmaster.
"Damn it!"
Upon hearing this, Old Han couldn't sit still any longer.
After all, his daughter had just celebrated her seventh birthday.
Just started first grade, very obedient and understanding.
Just imagine, if his own child encountered something similar,
and he knew nothing about it, how devastated he would be!
"Old Luo, considering this man appears in Changli City, it's very likely he's still lurking around nearby. He might still be up to something illegal."
"So we need to find a way to track him down and catch this Yang Mingquan!"
Almost at the same time.
Luo Fei's phone rang.
He signaled everyone to remain quiet and walked to the side to take the call.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Is this the phone of Officer Luo from the Major Crimes Unit?"
He heard a middle-aged woman's voice on the other end.
There was a hint of probing in her tone.
As if she was afraid of making a mistake.
Luo Fei remained neutral.
"Hello, this is Luo Fei, what can I do for you?"
Upon hearing his confirmation,
the person on the other end swallowed and said,
"Hello, Officer Luo, I want to report a training institution."
A training institution?
Since Luo Fei had his phone on speaker,
everyone present could hear the caller.
But they were puzzled.
Who was this person? 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
And how did they know Luo Fei's phone number?
More importantly,
was the training institution she mentioned indeed linked to Yang Mingquan? That seemed unlikely, didn't it?
While others were holding their breath, feeling a bit uneasy,
Luo Fei remained relatively calm.
"Miss, there's no need to be nervous. Take your time and say what you want to say."
"Officer Luo, this training class is very powerful, so I can't just tell you their location outright. How about we meet tomorrow morning?"
"Alright, you choose the place."
Luo Fei's prompt agreement
was unexpected for the caller.
However, she still gave Luo Fei an address.
"Wofuda Supermarket, at the intersection of Wenchang Street and Caiyun Road."
"Alright, I got it."
As the call ended,
Han Tiesheng was a bit worried.
"Old Luo, are you sure this woman isn't setting you up?"
It wasn't unreasonable for him to have such a suspicion.
After all, right after he started investigating this old case,
someone called, offering information.
If solving the case were so easy,
Lin Qingshan wouldn't have had to lie low and wait for so long.
And still, he couldn't bring the bad guys to justice!
"Of course I know this could be a trap."
"But if it really is Yang Mingquan sending someone to test us, it means they're scared. They've realized they're about to be exposed, so they're trying to take the initiative."
Luo Fei's reverse reasoning
impressed Tang Shiyu.
"Officer Luo, it seems I found the right person to investigate this case for me. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, they'd likely cave to the other side's threats and wouldn't be as smart and rational as you."
Tang Shiyu blushed a light pink.
But Luo Fei reminded her,
"Miss Tang, don't be too happy yet. Although you provided the lead, no one can guarantee you're not in cahoots with Yang Mingquan."
"It's also possible your brother was once complicit with them, knowing too much and then, after having a change of heart, was silenced."
Luo Fei's words left Tang Shiyu speechless.
She thought that after working on this case for half a day,
she and Luo Fei had grown closer on some level.
But things didn't go as she hoped.
Perhaps it was this cautiousness that allowed Luo Fei to solve cases decisively.
"So, Miss Tang, tomorrow morning you'll join me in meeting that woman. Let's see what evidence she has to offer us. We might discover some clues related to your brother."
Luo Fei suddenly suggested.
Tang Shiyu's expression froze momentarily.
She was genuinely confused by Luo Fei.
Was he suspicious of her, or did he trust her sufficiently?
Due to the complexity, she decided not to think about it further.
"Everyone, it's getting late. There's no need for us to rush back to the city in the middle of the night. After all, it's quite remote here, and calling for backup isn't convenient. It might even be dangerous."
"Besides, this villa is quite large, with four bedrooms across two floors. Why don't we just stay here for the night?"
Upon hearing Luo Fei's suggestion,
Old Han immediately agreed.
"No problem, I want to share a room with Old Luo."
Luo Fei raised an eyebrow.
"No way, who wants to share a room with you? I think it's better if you share the master bedroom on the first floor with Su Jianfan."
"As for Deng Wen and Tang Shiyu, you two girls can take the secondary bedroom on the second floor."
Luo Fei's arrangement was clear and straightforward.
But soon,
Han Tiesheng noticed something wasn't right.
"Wait a minute, Old Luo. You've arranged for everyone to either stay on the first floor or the secondary bedroom, meaning you're taking the master bedroom on the second floor for yourself?"
"Is there a problem?"
"You and Su Jianfan are next to Lin Qingshan's room, so you can respond immediately to protect them. The two girls, it's obvious, are more comfortable sharing a room."
Luo Fei's reasoning was sound.
Han Tiesheng found no grounds to argue.
"Never mind. It's just one night, and considering your achievements in this case, I'll listen to you this time."
Although Han Tiesheng verbally agreed,
he still felt somewhat unsatisfied inside.
So he devised a plan, a sly grin spreading across his face.
"By the way, Old Han, do you have a copy of the surveillance footage that you and Miss Tang watched? Either on a CD or a tape."
"I plan to go over it again in case I can find any new clues."
Luo Fei's sudden suggestion caught Han Tiesheng off guard.
"I do have copies... But Old Luo, aren't you sleeping? Aren't you tired?"
"It's alright. I usually fall asleep analyzing case studies and listening to the radio. Without the noise, I might not be able to sleep."
"Alright, I'll go grab it from the car and bring it to you upstairs later."
Han Tiesheng's lips twitched slightly.
He hadn't expected Luo Fei to be such a workaholic.
Originally, he intended to make Luo Fei work late, so he wouldn't be too comfortable, enjoying the master bedroom, feeling too pleased with himself.
But things didn't turn out as planned!
"Han, I'll join you to fetch the tape."
"Ah? Alright."
Han Tiesheng agreed and went with Su Jianfan to the patrol car's trunk to retrieve the items.
...
"Who's there? Come out!"
Just as Luo Fei lay reclining on the sofa,
going through the materials provided by Lin Qingshan and straightening his thoughts,
Old Han's loud shout came from outside.
Luo Fei instantly sprang up from the sofa as if jolted by electricity.
"Probably just a rabbit or something. Maybe I was seeing things?"
