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

Luo Fei paused noticeably.

Even through the mask, Chen Xuanran could feel his instant stiffness.

The girl looked up at the sound.

It was a face that was unforgettable. Almond-shaped eyes, cherry lips, and a small beauty mark at the corner of her left eye.

"Are you going to feed them too?"

The girl's voice was clear and bright, tinged with a hint of surprise.

"They've all gotten fat lately; it turns out you've been secretly feeding them extra food."

Luo Fei stood still, the cat food bag making a soft rustling sound in his hand.

Chen Xuanran saw his Adam's apple bob before he answered in a hoarse voice.

"Just passing by occasionally."

The girl tilted her head and looked him up and down.

"Have we met before? Your voice sounds familiar."

"should not."

Luo Fei quickly walked a few steps and squatted on the other side of the pool, deliberately creating distance between them.

He opened the bag of cat food, and several cats immediately abandoned the girl and surrounded him.

"What a realistic little guy."

The girl chuckled and reached out to scratch the chin of the only calico cat that remained by her side.

"My name is Han Zixuan, and I live nearby. What about you?"

"Luo"

Luo Fei suddenly stopped and changed his words.

"Just call me Afei."

Chen Xuanran, hidden behind the bushes, seemed lost in thought. (Using a pseudonym? Something's up.)

"hooligan."

Han Zixuan repeated thoughtfully.

"Have you had your cat for a long time?"

"No, I didn't actually like it when I was little."

Luo Fei's voice suddenly softened.

"Later, because a friend liked it, I fed it to him a few times as well."

Han Zixuan's eyes lit up.

"That friend is a girl, right?"

Luo Fei's finger froze in mid-air, and an orange cat seized the opportunity to grab his wrist.

Chen Xuanran saw the corners of his mouth turn up.

"Yes. It's been many years."

"it's a pity."

Han Zixuan sighed.

"I knew a boy when I was little, and we promised each other when we grew up."

She suddenly stopped and shook her head.

"Never mind, they're just kids talking."

The fountain fell silent for a moment, with only the crunching sound of cats chewing their food.

Chen Xuanran noticed that Luo Fei's shoulders were tense, but he ultimately said nothing.

"I want to adopt this calico cat, but unfortunately my roommate is allergic."

Han Zixuan scratched behind the cat's ear, and it purred contentedly.

"It's good that there are people like you taking care of them."

Luo Fei suddenly stood up.

"I have to go now."

"Ah, wait!"

Han Zixuan also stood up.

"I'm on the night shift tomorrow, could you please feed them a little more?"

Luo Fei nodded, and as he turned around, a gust of wind blew up from the hem of his clothes. Han Zixuan watched his retreating figure and suddenly called out.

"Have we really never seen it before?"

Luo Fei paused almost imperceptibly, but ultimately did not turn around.

After Han Zixuan's figure disappeared on the path on the other side of the park, Chen Xuanran was about to appear when he saw Luo Fei still standing in the same spot.

He took off his mask.

He reached up and pressed his hand to his chest, the spot where Chen Xuanran had just struck him, and his lips moved silently.

Using the lip-reading skills he learned at police academy, Chen Xuanran could barely make out that it was three words.

"I remember"

Luo Fei suddenly turned around.

Chen Xuanran had no time to hide and met his sharp gaze directly.

"Come out."

Luo Fei's voice returned to its usual calm.

"Aren't you tired after following me all this way?"

Chen Xuanran forced himself to emerge from behind the bushes, pretending to brush the leaves off his clothes to hide his embarrassment.

"Who's following you? I was just out for a walk!"

Luo Fei raised an eyebrow.

"Walking in slippers?"

Chen Xuanran looked down at the Hello Kitty slippers on her feet, her ears burning.

"I want you to take care of it!"

She suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up.

"Who was that pretty girl just now? Did she sneak out to chat you up?"

"Just feeding the cat."

Luo Fei put his mask back on, his tone returning to its usual nonchalant manner.

"But you, have you forgotten all the tracking skills you learned at the police academy?"

Just as Chen Xuanran was about to retort, a tortoiseshell cat rubbed against her feet and let out a soft "meow".

Her attention was instantly diverted.

"Oh my god, there's a cat bed here!"

Behind the fountain, in a makeshift cat house made of several cardboard boxes, two kittens were peeking out.

Chen Xuanran excitedly squatted down, took out his phone, and started recording.

"Don't take pictures."

Luo Fei suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Especially when it's posted online."

"Why? Because it's such a kind thing."

Luo Fei's expression turned serious.

"Our identities are special, and any exposure could cause trouble. Delete it."

Chen Xuanran pursed her lips and deleted the video in front of him, but silently memorized the location in her heart.

Two days later, Master Bo's villa was brightly lit, and several black luxury cars were parked in front.

Luo Fei turned to look at Chen Xuanran beside him.

"Remember, we are a loving couple now."

Luo Fei lowered his voice and naturally put his arm around Chen Xuanran's waist.

“Your father is in the jade business, and I own a nightclub and a logistics company in Caiyun.”

Chen Xuanran nodded, a sweet smile on her face.

She took Luo Fei's arm, and the two walked towards the villa gate.

"Mr. Li! I've heard so much about you!"

Bo Ye, with his beer belly, came up to greet us, his face full of fat, and a warm smile on his face. His gold chain was faintly visible at his collar.

His gaze lingered on Chen Xuanran for a few seconds, then he patted Luo Fei on the shoulder meaningfully.

"What a lucky person!"

Luo Fei laughed and deliberately replied in Mandarin with a Caiyun accent.

"You're too kind, Mr. Bo. This is my wife, Xi Ruyi. Ruyi, this is Mr. Bo, whom I often mention to you."

"Hello, Mr. Bo."

Chen Xuanran bowed slightly, his voice soft yet dignified.

"I've often heard Brother Shun mention you, saying you're a generous and forthright person. Meeting you today, I can confirm that he truly lives up to his reputation."

Master Bo was pleased by the flattery and laughed as he led them inside.

"Come on, come on, we've been waiting for you to start the feast!"

Five or six people were already seated in the restaurant, all of them Bo Ye's trusted confidants. Under the crystal chandelier, the table was laden with delicacies, emitting an enticing aroma.

Luo Fei glanced at them and secretly memorized the physical characteristics of each person.

"What kind of business does Mr. Li do in Caiyun?"

After a few rounds of drinks, one of Master Bo's men tentatively asked...

Luo Fei picked up his wine glass, deliberately showing a hint of smugness.

"It's somewhat related to nightclubs and logistics. But recently..."

He lowered his voice and looked around.

"I recently discovered a new way to make money, with profits more than ten times higher than those of nightclubs."

Bo raised his glass.

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details!"

Luo Fei and Chen Xuanran exchanged a glance, and the latter coughed knowingly.

"Brother Shun, about this matter..."

"Oh, what can't I say in front of Master Bo!"

Luo Fei pretended to have spoken out of turn while drunk and put his arm around Chen Xuanran's shoulder.

"Brother Bo, to be honest, I've opened several 'pilot clubs' in Caiyun."

Bo's men all smiled knowingly upon hearing this.

Bo Ye burst into laughter.

"Boss Li is indeed a kindred spirit! Come on, let's have a drink!" Amidst the clinking of glasses, Luo Fei and Master Bo's relationship quickly warmed up.

Chen Xuanran then cleverly struck up a conversation with Madam Bo, discussing everything from jewelry to overseas travel, inadvertently revealing the "family's" "business dealings" in Southeast Asia.

By the end of the banquet, Master Bo had already patted his chest and made a guarantee.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, funding is not a problem! Just let me know if you need anything in the future!"

On the way back, Luo Fei quickly regained his composure.

"Bo Ye's funding sources are indeed questionable; his subordinates all have suspicious eyes."

Chen Xuanran took off his earrings and rubbed his reddened earlobes.

"His wife mentioned that there have been several large cash deposits recently, the source of which is unknown."

"Keep staring."

Luo Fei stepped on the gas.

"I'm meeting Brother Shui tomorrow, so I need to be prepared."

The private room of the business KTV was dimly lit, and amidst deafening music, three hostesses were swaying their bodies to the rhythm.

When Luo Fei pushed the door open, Scarface was embracing a girl and pouring her drinks. He quickly stood up when he came in.

"Brother Li! I've been waiting for you for ages!"

The hideous scar on Scarface looked even more terrifying under the colored lights as he pointed at the tall, thin man beside him.

"This is Brother Shui, whom I often mention."

Brother Shui was around forty years old, with a slicked-back hairstyle and a gold watch on his wrist that gleamed under the light.

He squinted at Luo Fei, then reached out his hand.

"I have long admired Mr. Li's name."

Luo Fei warmly shook his hand.

"Brother Shui, you're too kind! We'll drink until we drop tonight!"

He snapped his fingers toward the door, and the waiter immediately brought in several bottles of high-end foreign liquor.

Chen Xuanran didn't come with us tonight, and Luo Fei's solo trip made Brother Shui lower his guard.

After three cups of wine, Brother Shui started talking more.

"Boss Li has a lot of connections in Caiyun."

"Brother Shui poured Luo Fei a full glass of wine."

"I heard that the last batch of 'goods' was sold out in just two days?"

Luo Fei laughed loudly, deliberately speaking in a drunken tone.

"That little bit of stuff isn't enough! My 'pilots' are calling me every day, they're practically ringing my phone off the hook!"

Scarface leaned closer.

"Brother Li, Brother Shui is one of the top 'pilots' in Jiangcheng, we can have as many as you want!"

"captain?"

Luo Fei pretended to be hearing the word for the first time and asked curiously.

"What kind of slang is this?"

Brother Shui smugly swirled his wine glass.

"You're new to the business, aren't you? The 'captain' is in charge of the 'pilots.' In Jiangcheng, most of the 'pilots' get their 'fuel' from me."

Luo Fei looked enlightened and refilled Shui Ge's cup.

"I see! Brother Shui is really amazing! Come on, let's have another drink!"

As the alcohol took effect, Brother Shui's tongue became increasingly loose.

Luo Fei took the opportunity to elicit information.

"Brother Shui, I heard there's a big 'factory' in Jiangcheng, is that true?"

Shui Ge's expression became alert, but the alcohol had already numbed his judgment.

He lowered his voice.

"Brother, you're quite well-informed, but even I don't know the exact location of that place."

Luo Fei pretended not to believe it.

"Brother Shui doesn't treat me like a brother! I'm already planning a long-term collaboration, and he's still hiding things from me?"

Shui Ge hesitated for a moment, then pulled Luo Fei to a corner.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I really don't know. All I know is that the goods were obtained from a man named General Manager Wei, who is the owner of the factory."

"President Wei?"

Luo Fei wrote down the name.

"Where does Brother Shui rank in Jiangcheng?"

Brother Shui looked somewhat displeased, but still answered.

"There are three big 'pilots' in Jiangcheng, and I'm one of them. General Manager Wei distributes goods all over the country through us, even..."

He winked mysteriously.

"It is also exported to Western Europe."

Luo Fei was startled, but remained outwardly calm.

"Impressive! But I heard that last month a foreign 'pilot' named Major wanted to make a deal directly with President Wei?"

Shui Ge's expression changed drastically.

How did you know about this?

He turned sharply towards Scarface.

"You told him?"

Scarface hurriedly waved his hand.

"I didn't say that!"

Luo Fei quickly tried to smooth things over.

"It's all over the place that the major wanted the quantity by the ton, so the deal fell through."

Brother Shui breathed a sigh of relief and took another swig of wine.

"Don't even mention it, that incident caused quite a stir. The major wanted to bypass us and go directly to General Manager Wei, but..."

He made a motion of wiping his neck.

"President Wei hates people who don't follow the rules the most."

Luo Fei seized the opportunity to make a suggestion.

"Brother Shui, to be honest, I'm here to discuss a big business deal."

He leaned close to Shui Ge's ear.

"I need one ton."

"what?"

Water Brother and Scarface exclaimed in surprise at the same time, their astonishment barely masked by the music.

Luo Fei calmly took out his phone and showed them his bank balance.

“Money is not a problem. I have already established transportation routes, and the market in Caiyun is huge.”

Shui Ge stared at the long string of numbers, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"One ton. That's no small amount."

"If Brother Shui is having trouble, I can find someone else."

Luo Fei made a move to get up.

"and many more!"

Shui Ge grabbed him.

"Give me three days to prepare, one ton it is!"

Luo Fei smiled with satisfaction and raised his glass.

"Then it's a deal! I'll transfer ten million as a deposit when I get back!"

Scarface stood to the side, his expression shifting between anger and displeasure, clearly dissatisfied that Brother Shui had so easily agreed to such a large deal.

Luo Fei saw this and deliberately spoke to Scarface.

"Don't worry, Scarface, you won't be shortchanged."

When he left the nightclub, Chen Xuanran was waiting in a black car parked by the roadside.

Seeing him come out, she immediately started the car.

"How about it?"

Only after the car drove away from the street did Xi Ruyi ask the question.

Luo Fei loosened his tie, his eyes sharp.

"He's taken the bait. Transfer ten million to his account tomorrow."

Xi Ruyi tightened her grip on the steering wheel.

"This is almost all the funds we have at our disposal."

"I'm reluctant to let the child catch the wolf."

Luo Fei looked out the window at the street scene rushing by.

"The people behind Brother Shui are worth the price."

Back at the upscale apartment he was temporarily renting, Luo Fei immediately transferred ten million to Brother Shui.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the dazzling night view of Jiangcheng, Xi Ruyi finally understood the real purpose of Luo Fei asking "Timely Rain" for money.

"So you had planned to catch a big fish all along."

She turned around and said.

Luo Fei was looking at information on his computer and didn't even look up when he heard this.

"Fan Wensheng and Li Chunlin cannot have died in vain."

After receiving the deposit, Brother Shui was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

He paced back and forth in the bedroom of the luxury villa, calculating that he could earn 1750 million from this deal.

But after the initial excitement, real-world problems came to the fore.

His supplier, Mr. Wei, only provides him with 300 to 500 kilograms of goods each year.

The next morning, Brother Shui called Boss Wei.

"One ton? Are you crazy?"

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Wei's voice was cold.

"The supply of international routes is already stretched thin, where am I going to get so much stock for you?"

Shui Ge's facial muscles twitched.

"Mr. Wei, this buyer is very powerful; they've already paid the deposit."

"That's your business."

President Wei interrupted him directly. (End of Chapter)
