Solving the case: Combining the police dog's olfactory genes at the beginning

Just as Chen Xuanran opened the package, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and Luo Fei walked out, drying his hair.

Good morning! What good stuff did you receive?

"For massaging the cervical spine!"

Chen Xuanran hurriedly hid the stun gun behind his back and dashed into the bedroom.

Luo Fei scratched his head and glanced at the words "High Voltage Self-Defense" on the packaging box.

"Holy crap. Could it be one of those vibrating dildos?"

This misunderstanding made him restless all morning, constantly stealing glances at Chen Xuanran's bedroom door.

At noon, Chen Xuanran finally came out, looking energetic and asking.

"What's the next plan?"

Luo Fei stared at her radiant face, hesitating to speak.

"how are you feeling?"

"Great."

Chen Xuanran was baffled.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing."

Luo Fei coughed twice.

"Want to come pick up my two brothers from prison this afternoon?"

"Is this the brother you mentioned whose wife ran off with someone else?"

Luo Fei's expression darkened.

"Yeah, Dapeng. He promised to take care of his girlfriend, but..."

He rubbed his face and resumed his playful grin.

"This time we need to find him a new one. Do you have any single best friends?"

"Don't even think about it!"

Chen Xuanran grabbed a cushion and threw it at them.

……

Luo Fei stared intently at the prison gate. In the rearview mirror, Chen Xuanran was touching up her lipstick in front of a small mirror.

"Are you sure you want this?"

Chen Xuanran put away her lipstick and glanced at him in the mirror.

"You're kidding me, bro, I'm your girlfriend?"

"if not?"

Luo Fei twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Tell them you're my creditor? Or a policeman?"

Chen Xuanran rolled his eyes.

"Suit yourself. But don't expect me to play along with your act."

The prison gates opened, and two figures with buzz cuts and carrying worn-out bags walked out.

Luo Fei's heart clenched. Two years had passed, and Zeng Jian and Zhou Xuan, his best brothers, had finally regained their freedom.

"coming!"

Luo Fei pushed open the car door and rushed over in three steps.

Zeng Jianxian saw him, and the bag in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

"Brother Fei?!"

His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.

The three of them hugged each other tightly. Luo Fei could feel Zeng Jian trembling, while Zhou Xuan gripped his back tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh.

"Damn, I thought you weren't coming."

Zhou Xuan's voice muffled on Luo Fei's shoulder.

"The lawyer said you sold the house for our sake."

Luo Fei pushed them aside and grinned.

"Bullshit, I'm doing really well now."

He turned and pointed to the gleaming Maserati.

"See this? It's the latest model."

Zeng Jian's eyes widened like copper bells.

"This...this is yours?"

"if not?"

Luo Fei put his arms around their shoulders.

"Come on, let me show you what a new life is like."

Zhou Xuan suddenly remembered something and looked around.

"Where's your sister-in-law? Didn't you say you had a super hot girlfriend?"

Luo Fei's smile froze for a moment.

He forgot the boast he had made earlier.

"Ah, she's in the car."

He gave vague answers and quickly changed the subject.

"Were you bullied inside?"

Zeng Jian patted his chest.

"Who dares? Xuanzi and I can take on ten of them each!"

He made a punching motion, but stumbled because he used too much force, clearly showing that prison life had weakened his physical fitness.

The three walked toward the car. Chen Xuanran had already gotten out of the car and was leaning against the car door with his arms crossed.

Zeng Jian and Zhou Xuan both gasped in shock.

"Fuck."

Zeng Jian murmured.

"Brother Fei, what the hell kind of luck did you get?"

Luo Fei chuckled twice and forced himself to introduce the topic.

"This is your sister-in-law, Xi Ruyi."

He secretly pinched Chen Xuanran, who reluctantly forced a smile.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

Zhou Xuan immediately bowed, his exaggerated movements resembling those in a Japanese gangster movie.

Zeng Jian froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, his eyes fixed on Chen Xuanran.

"Sister-in-law, you've grown so much!"

Luo Fei felt a chill run down his spine. What the hell was this nonsense?
Zhou Xuan slapped Zeng Jian on the back of the head.

"Have you gone stupid from being in jail? Can't you speak properly?"

Zeng Jian then seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, no! I mean, your sister-in-law is much more mature and beautiful than she looks in the photos!"

He stammered as he explained.

"Brother Fei showed us the photos before."

Chen Xuanran raised an eyebrow at Luo Fei, whose forehead was already beaded with cold sweat.

"Alright, alright."

Luo Fei quickly interrupted.

"Let's talk about it after we get in the car."

He snatched their bags and tossed them into a roadside trash can.

"Hey! My stuff!"

Zhou Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

"Throw it all away."

Luo Fei opened the back door of the car.

"I'll take you guys to buy new ones. You've been wronged these past two years, so starting today, I'll show you how to vent your frustrations!"

Zeng Jian was still stealing glances at Chen Xuanran when Luo Fei slapped him on the back, bringing him back to his senses.

The three squeezed into the back seat, and the interior of the Maserati amazed the two country bumpkins who had just been released from prison.

"This leather seat...it's like a woman's skin."

Zeng Jian touched the seat, looking completely absorbed.

Zhou Xuan was studying the center console.

"Brother Fei, how much does it cost to rent this car for a day?"

"rent?"

Luo Fei glanced at them smugly in the rearview mirror.

"This is my car."

"fart!"

Zeng Jian laughed loudly.

"Where did you get so much money? Last time the lawyer said you even borrowed money for your legal fees!"

Luo Fei blinked.

"I have to thank your sister-in-law for this; she gave me the car."

Zeng Jian and Zhou Xuan looked extremely shocked.

Chen Xuanran turned and glared at Luo Fei, his eyes capable of killing.

Luo Fei pretended not to see it and started the car while whistling.

"Was this a gift from your sister-in-law?"

Zhou Xuan's voice even changed tone.

"This car must cost two or three million, right?"

"Three million eight hundred thousand, top-of-the-line."

Luo Fei said it casually, while secretly making a pleading gesture to Chen Xuanran.

Chen Xuanran snorted coldly, turned his head to look out the window, which was tantamount to acknowledging this absurd lie.

Zeng Jian suddenly leaned forward and said to Chen Xuanran with a grin.

"Sister-in-law, do you have any single girlfriends? Introduce me to one, please? I'm not getting any younger."

"roll!"

Chen Xuanran and Luo Fei spoke in unison.

Zhou Xuan pulled Zeng Jian back.

"Don't you have Xuanxuan?"

Luo Fei's expression froze.

He exchanged a glance with Zhou Xuan through the rearview mirror, and the latter immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Xuanxuan?"

Zeng Jian was still immersed in excitement.

"Yeah! Where's my wife? Fei-ge, didn't you promise to take care of her for me? Why didn't she come?"

Luo Fei's knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel.

"Brother Fei?"

Zeng Jian's voice began to tremble.

"Where's Xuanxuan?"

Luo Fei took a deep breath.

"Dapeng, there are some things you have to accept."

Zeng Jian's face lost all color.

"What happened to her? Did something happen?"

"No."

Luo Fei gritted his teeth.

"She ran off with someone. It's that Fatty Wang who runs the hardware store next door."

Zeng Jian's expression shifted from shock to confusion, then to twisted rage, all in an instant. "Fuck the hell out of him!!"

He roared and slammed his fist on the seat.

"That fat bastard?! I'm going to kill him!!"

The car braked suddenly and came to a stop on the side of the road.

Luo Fei turned around and held down the enraged Zeng Jian.

"Calm down! You just got out and you want to go back in?"

"I went in because of her!"

Zeng Jian's eyes were bloodshot.

"If it weren't for buying her that lousy bag, would I have robbed a jewelry store?! And now she's run off with someone else?!"

Zhou Xuan held him tightly.

"Dapeng! Don't be impulsive! There are plenty of women out there, we don't need to!"

Zeng Jian struggled for a few moments, then suddenly slumped into his seat like a deflated balloon, tears streaming silently down his face.

This tough guy, who never cried even when he was beaten in prison, now looked like a lost child.

Luo Fei sighed and started the car again.

"Let's not talk about that today. I'll take you to a great place that I guarantee will make you forget about that bitch."

Chen Xuanran remained silent throughout, but Luo Fei noticed the way she looked at Zeng Jian.

The car entered the city.

Zeng Jian and Zhou Xuan leaned against the car window, like country folk visiting the city for the first time.

"Is this Jiangcheng?"

He asked, stammering.

"Why has everything changed?"

Luo Fei smiled.

"A lot can change in two years."

He took the two to the most upscale shopping mall and gave them a complete makeover, inside and out.

Armani suit, Gucci shoes, Rolex watch. Zeng Jian's mood gradually improved, especially when he twirled in front of the dressing mirror.

"Brother Fei, how much does this cost?"

Zhou Xuan touched the fabric of his suit and asked.

"Don't ask, just swipe your sister-in-law's card."

Luo Fei winked at Chen Xuanran, who then stomped on his foot hard.

In the evening, Luo Fei took them to the most luxurious nightclub in Jiangcheng.

"Brother Fei, how much will this cost?"

Zhou Xuan leaned close to Luo Fei's ear and whispered a question.

Luo Fei waved his hand.

"I told you I'd let you have a good time today."

He beckoned the manager over.

"Call all your best girls here."

Chen Xuanran stood up.

"You guys have fun, I'm leaving now."

"No, sister-in-law!"

Zeng Jian hurriedly stood up.

"Let's have a couple of drinks together!"

"I still have something to do."

Chen Xuanran said coldly, then whispered to Luo Fei.

"Don't be late tomorrow morning at 10:00."

Luo Fei nodded and watched her leave.

Zeng Jian watched Chen Xuanran's retreating figure, lost in thought.

"Brother Fei, what does your wife do for a living? She's so rich!"

"Those who do investment."

Luo Fei made it up on the spot.

"Come on, come on, drink!"

That night, the three of them got completely drunk, hugging each other and laughing and crying, reminiscing about the foolish things they did in their youth.

Zeng Jian temporarily forgot about Xuanxuan's betrayal, and Zhou Xuan also put aside her worries about the future.

Looking at his two brothers, Luo Fei was filled with mixed emotions. They had finally regained their freedom, but the road ahead was far more difficult to cross than the prison walls.

Three days later, in a teahouse in the old town of Jiangcheng.

Luo Fei frowned as he looked at the "business map" that Zeng Jian had drawn on a napkin. The crooked circles and arrows had the words "South Bay Small Cards" written in large letters in the center.

"Brother Fei, I've made up my mind!"

Zeng Jian said excitedly, poking at the tissue with his finger.

"We'll first take over the small card market in South Bay, and then expand to the five surrounding districts! We'll monopolize the entire city within three years, and then go nationwide in five! By then, we'll even go public on NASDAQ, and we'll call it... we'll call it 'Card Technology'!"

Zhou Xuan nodded in agreement from the side.

"Dapeng thought about it all night, and I think it's a good idea!"

Luo Fei's face darkened.

He slowly folded the napkin, his voice cold.

"You guys came up with this thing while you were in prison?"

Zeng Jian's smile froze.

"W-What's wrong? This is a highly profitable industry!"

"Excessive profits?"

Luo Fei slammed his hand on the table, causing the teacup to bounce.

"You call handing out flyers a career?!"

The other customers in the teahouse all turned to look.

Zhou Xuan quickly lowered his voice.

"Brother Fei, calm down."

"I can't calm down!"

Luo Fei gritted his teeth.

"Do you even know what the situation is like outside? Still playing the same old tricks from twenty years ago? What kind of future can you get by handing out flyers? Dealing with sex workers every day will make you lose face in the underworld!"

He grabbed Zeng Jian's wrist.

"Feel the calluses between your fingers. Are you planning to be squatting in a print shop counting business cards when you're forty?"

The sandalwood scent mixed with the smell of tea stains from the teahouse filled my nostrils.

Zeng Jian pulled his hand away, his eyes bloodshot.

"Then what do you suggest? We just came out."

"listen."

Luo Fei pulled a black card from his wallet and slammed it on the table.

"I've figured out three things over the past two years."

The light reflected off the card danced on his chin.

"First, time waits for no one."

He raised his second finger.

"Secondly, fortune and wealth are found in danger."

The last finger is like a dagger drawn from its sheath.

"third."

He lowered his voice.

"The more dangerous the business, the more money you make."

Zhou Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Zeng Jian licked his chapped lips.

"gambling, prostitution, and drugs?"

"idiot!"

Luo Fei scoffed.

"Go straight for those that will die quickly."

He took out his phone and swiped a few times; the screen showed a blurry screenshot from a surveillance camera.

"The new northerner from Jiangcheng makes his deal at the abandoned chemical plant on the 15th of every month."

He zoomed in on the silver briefcase in the picture.

"This number."

He made an "eight" gesture.

Zeng Jian gasped.

"Eight or eight million?"

Multiply by ten.

Luo Fei put away his phone.

"They didn't dare call the police, so we pretended to be cops and double-crossed them."

He turned the teacup.

"One job and you can retire."

The sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached the window.

Zhou Xuan unconsciously shook her leg.

"Just the three of us?"

"I worked as a police auxiliary officer for six months."

Luo Fei unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt, revealing a police badge tattoo on his shoulder.

"I know everyone at Xiahegou Police Station, from top to bottom."

He pulled out a Type 92 pistol and slammed it on the table.

"Cars, clothes, equipment, as many as you want."

Zeng Jian stared at the gleaming rifling on the gun barrel.

"Then what will you do?"

"He slept with the bureau chief's daughter."

Luo Fei grinned, revealing his canine teeth.

"That old man was so angry that he burned my file."

He suddenly grabbed the two men by the back of their necks and pulled them forward, their three heads almost touching.

"This is your last chance. Will you work for me or not?"

The oil floating on the surface of the tea soup reflected three distorted faces.

Zhou Xuan looked at Zeng Jian, whose Adam's apple bobbed several times before he suddenly grabbed a pistol and weighed it in his hand.

"Damn it, it's a gamble either way!"

Luo Fei laughed and stood up, flipping the black card between his fingers.

"Let's go, let's get the brothers some new clothes first."

When he kicked the chair away, the documents of the man in the suit sitting next to him scattered all over the floor. No one dared to say a word.

The dust in the used car market swirled like golden sand in the sunlight.

Luo Fei kicked the Audi A6 in front of him, kicking up a cloud of dust from the tires.

"It's from 09, and the engine just had a major overhaul."

He tossed a wad of cash to the car dealer.

"Two vehicles, ready for immediate pickup."

Zeng Jian touched the gleaming car emblem. (End of Chapter)
