Solving the case: Combining the police dog's olfactory genes at the beginning
Chapter 1132 The Goods Are in the Water
Luo Fei felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart, making his temples throb.
"Is there any evidence?"
He asked in a low voice.
Xu Hanwen took out a pack of cigarettes from the inside pocket of his leather jacket, pulled one out, and lit it.
I've been investigating for six months.
He exhaled a puff of smoke.
“There is a private gas station on the road where the incident occurred. The surveillance cameras captured the Porsche, and the license plate number is clearly visible. However, there is no information about this car in the police records.”
Luo Fei clenched his fist. Jiangtian Group, the largest real estate developer in Jiangcheng, is headed by Wei Tianming, whose only son, Wei Rufeng, is a notorious playboy known for his reckless driving, alcoholism, and numerous scandals.
"He destroyed a family for his own pleasure."
Luo Fei's voice was icy.
"And then they went unpunished."
Xu Hanwen threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with the sole of his shoe.
"I will continue to investigate. Yutong cannot have died in vain."
Looking at his old friend's red eyes, Luo Fei suddenly realized that Xu Hanwen's years of wandering might have been in order to investigate this truth.
He reached out and pressed down on Xu Hanwen's shoulder.
"Together we will."
The cell phone rang suddenly.
Luo Fei took out his phone, and the screen displayed the words "Zeng Jian".
He pressed the answer button.
"explain."
"Boss, we've got a message from President Wei."
Zeng Jian's voice came through the microphone, tinged with nervousness.
"He demanded 100 million in cash first, and then arranged the transaction of two tons of rock sugar."
Luo Fei seemed to be deep in thought.
"One hundred million in cash? Has he gone mad?"
“I also thought it was absurd, but Captain Chen said to do as he asked.”
"understood."
Luo Fei hung up the phone and turned to Xu Hanwen.
"I have an assignment, let's talk another day. Let's keep in touch."
Xu Hanwen nodded and watched Luo Fei walk quickly towards the parking lot.
He didn't know what mission his old classmate was on, but from that tense back, he saw the shadow of the boy who aspired to be a policeman ten years ago.
Luo Fei drove the unassuming gray sedan toward the anti-drug squad's secret hideout.
Along the way, images of Teacher Qin's withered hands, the photo on Yu Tong's tombstone, and Xu Hanwen's angry eyes flashed through his mind.
And then there's Wei Rufeng, the rich second-generation who might take Yu Tong's life, who, along with the drug lord Wei Tianming whom he's about to face, actually belongs to the same family.
Fate can be so ironic sometimes.
The secret hideout is a warehouse disguised as a logistics company.
Luo Fei parked his car and strode into the office.
Zeng Jian was inspecting boxes of cash when he saw him come in and immediately stood up.
"Boss, everything is ready."
Luo Fei glanced at the open box on the table; the neatly stacked hundred-yuan bills inside gleamed pink under the light.
Anbo's money?
"Yes, it came from his three underground banks."
Zeng Jian grinned.
"That old bastard doesn't even know his hideout has been raided."
Luo Fei picked up a wad of banknotes and weighed it in his hand.
He will never have the chance to find out.
He turned to Chen Xuanran and Zhou Xuan, who were standing to the side.
"You follow behind in your Maseratis, but keep your distance."
Chen Xuanran frowned.
"Is it possible that Mr. Wei is suddenly asking for cash? Could it be a trap?"
"He didn't dare."
Luo Fei sneered.
"This batch of goods is key to his opening up the northern market; he won't give up greater profits for 100 million yuan."
"Besides, this money is all Anbo's illegal income. Not only will he not return it, but after I finish dealing with what I'm doing, I'm going to raid his house."
Zeng Jian whistled.
"Boss, are you trying to double-cross us?"
Luo Fei's eyes turned cold.
"Anbo has a murder case on his hands."
He didn't say much, but Zeng Jianli immediately suppressed his smile.
"What happened to the deposit we gave to Brother Shui?"
Zeng Jian shifted the topic.
"It's back."
Luo Fei gave a brief answer without explaining any details.
The money is now lying quietly in his apartment safe, serving as funding for investigating the truth behind Yu Tong's death.
That evening, Luo Fei drove a small truck loaded with 100 million yuan in cash toward Nanshan District.
Zeng Jian sat in the passenger seat, occasionally checking the rearview mirror to see if Chen Xuanran's Maserati was following behind.
"Boss, there's a vehicle checkpoint ahead."
Zeng Jian suddenly lowered his voice.
Traffic police ahead are setting up a checkpoint to inspect passing vehicles, and two police motorcycles are parked nearby.
There are no forks in the road.
Luo Fei calmly observed the surrounding environment and slowed down to approach the checkpoint.
"This strict investigation is likely a consequence of the shooting incident on the ship a couple of days ago."
He wasn't worried.
His current identity is Li Shun. The real Li Shun was killed three days ago in Caiyun Province, so there is no issue of him being wanted.
The fake ID and driver's license in his pocket were enough to pass a routine check.
"Slow down and pull over!"
A traffic policeman waved a glow stick to signal.
Luo Fei obediently reduced his speed and pulled over to the side of the road.
When the car window was knocked on, he pressed a button, and the window rolled down.
"ID card, driver's license."
The voice of a traffic policeman could be heard.
Luo Fei handed over his ID, and his eyes inadvertently met the other person's. He was shocked to see that the person standing outside the car was Xiao Dingkun, the former director of Dayang Police Station!
That scoundrel who was filmed soliciting prostitution but is still in the police system!
Xiao Dingkun took the documents, and the beam of his flashlight scanned back and forth between the photo of "Li Shun" and Luo Fei's face.
Luo Fei could feel his heart racing, but he didn't show it on his face.
What goods are we sending to the mountain?
Xiao Dingkun suddenly asked a question.
"Frozen goods, for restaurant use."
Luo Fei deliberately lowered his voice, but Xiao Dingkun still felt something was wrong.
"The voice sounds familiar."
Xiao Dingkun muttered to himself, his gaze shifting suspiciously between Luo Fei and Zeng Jian.
Zeng Jian interjected at the opportune moment.
"Officer, what's wrong? Why are you checking cars so late?"
Xiao Dingkun did not answer, but handed the documents back.
"Routine check, please be careful."
Just as Luo Fei was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Xiao Dingkun suddenly pressed down on the car window.
"Wait, open the carriage and check."
In an instant, Luo Fei's blood seemed to freeze.
The 100 million yuan in cash in the carriage was enough to get them taken away for investigation, and the whole operation would be ruined!
"Officer, they're all frozen goods. They thawed after the meeting."
Zeng Jian attempted to negotiate.
"Enough talk! Get out of the car!"
Xiao Dingkun suddenly raised his voice, his hand already on the holster.
Luo Fei's mind raced. Contact Meng Haonan? Too late! Besides, if Xiao Dingkun knew he was an undercover agent, he might use the opportunity to retaliate.
"I'll say it again, get off the bus! Raise your hand!"
Xiao Dingkun had already drawn his pistol, the dark muzzle pointing directly at the driver's cab.
Luo Fei and Zeng Jian exchanged a glance, then reluctantly opened the car door. A night breeze blew by, but Luo Fei felt no chill; his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Why are the train carriages locked with chains?
Xiao Dingkun keenly noticed the anomaly.
Luo Fei cursed himself for his negligence; ordinary frozen goods didn't need such strict protection.
"key."
Xiao Dingkun ordered that the gun muzzle remain motionless.
Zeng Jian dawdled as he pulled out his keys, his movements as slow as a slow-motion movie.
Luo Fei caught a glimpse of the Maserati behind him out of the corner of his eye; Chen Xuanran and Zhou Xuan must be watching everything.
"hurry up!"
Xiao Dingkun urged impatiently.
The chains rattled, and Zeng Jian finally unlocked the lock.
Just as Xiao Dingkun reached out to open the car door...
A loud bang came from behind, followed by the ear-piercing sound of metal twisting.
Xiao Dingkun turned around abruptly and saw a Maserati crash into a police motorcycle parked on the side of the road, sending debris flying everywhere!
"what happened?!"
Xiao Dingkun shouted, disregarding the carriage, and turned to run towards the accident scene.
Luo Fei understood Chen Xuanran's intention and quickly closed the carriage door.
"go!"
He gave a low shout and he and Zeng Jian quickly jumped back into the car.
With a roar of the engine, the small truck shot off like an arrow.
In the rearview mirror, Luo Fei saw Xiao Dingkun angrily pointing in the direction they had fled, but he was held back by the accident scene and unable to give chase.
"Miss Xi is so clever!"
Zeng Jian slapped his thigh and laughed.
Luo Fei's lips curled into a slight smile, but he quickly regained his serious expression. "Focus, it's not over yet."
The winding mountain road led them uphill, and after half an hour, they finally arrived at an abandoned viewing platform at the top of Nanshan Mountain.
Three dark figures were standing next to a car.
Luo Fei parked the car and got out with Zeng Jian. The leader of the group was a lean man with a hideous scar on his face.
"Mr. Li is punctual."
The scarred man grinned, revealing his uneven, yellow teeth.
Luo Fei nodded, signaling Zeng Jian to open the carriage.
Stacks of neatly bundled cash came into view.
Where is General Manager Wei?
Luo Fei asked.
"The boss never shows up."
The scarred man gave a signal, and his two henchmen began moving the cash.
"Two tons of goods tomorrow, are you ready?"
"The ship has been arranged."
Luo Fei answered.
"Delivery at the Han River?"
The scarred man smiled meaningfully.
"Smart. The goods will be packaged in waterproof cloth, and if there are any problems, just press the switch and let them disappear with the river water."
He made a downward gesture.
"After delivery, Mr. Wei will personally give you the switch."
Luo Fei seemed to be deep in thought.
"President Wei personally escorted the goods?"
"The boss values this transaction."
The scarred man patted the Jinbei van filled with cash.
"Wait for our notification tomorrow, don't try anything funny."
On the way back, Xi Ruyi dropped her pretense and let out a long sigh of relief.
"They believed it."
"It went too smoothly."
Zeng Jian peered out from the back seat, his glasses reflecting the light from the streetlights.
"Why is Old Fox Wei, who never shows his face, personally delivering the goods this time?"
Luo Fei tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
He's testing the waters.
"What are you testing?"
Xi Ruyi frowned.
"Let's see if we're really buyers."
Luo Fei glanced at the rearview mirror and confirmed that there was no tail.
"Two tons of cargo, enough to execute a hundred times over. He needs to make sure we're not cops."
Xi Ruyi gave a soft hum.
"For someone who gets a perfect score in criminal investigation at the police academy, impersonating a drug dealer is a piece of cake, right?"
Luo Fei's lips curled up slightly.
This girl never forgets to mention her police academy grades, as proud as a little peacock.
He originally planned to have the city police cooperate in the operation, but Director Wei was too cunning and would only inform them of the location at the last minute. Without support, the four men's actions were like walking a tightrope.
"Is the boat chartered?"
He asked Zeng Jian.
"As you requested, add two tons of cement to the cargo ship."
Zeng Jian pushed up his glasses.
Even real drug dealers can't tell the difference.
Zhou Xuan, the team's combat expert, suddenly looked up from his phone screen.
"Boss, Director Meng asked if we need reinforcements."
Luo Fei shook his head.
"It's too late. General Manager Wei is issuing the notification at the last minute. By the time the reinforcements arrive, it will be too late."
He glanced at Xi Ruyi's tense profile.
"Scared?"
Xi Ruyi glared at him.
"I'm afraid you'll hold me back!"
The four of them burst out laughing.
But Luo Fei knew that the real test would come tomorrow.
The next morning, the cargo ship quietly anchored on a tributary of the Han River.
Luo Fei inspected the disguise of the cement bags, while Xi Ruyi was adjusting the communication equipment in the cabin.
Time ticked by, but Mr. Wei's call was still nowhere to be seen.
"It's already 3 PM!"
Xi Ruyi kicked the metal bulkhead of the cabin.
Are you kidding us?
Luo Fei, however, lay calmly on the sofa, playing online games with Zhou Xuan and Zeng Jian.
"you."
Xi Ruyi stomped her feet in anger.
"Can you be serious for once?!"
"No hurries."
Luo Fei didn't even look up.
"Old fox Wei is testing our patience."
He deliberately let his game character get shot.
"See, impulsiveness leads to death."
Xi Ruyi rolled her eyes and ordered takeout.
As the four of them were eating their boxed lunches around the folding table, Luo Fei suddenly put down his chopsticks.
"He'll choose midnight."
"why?"
Zeng Jian asked.
"A dark and windy night makes it easy to silence witnesses."
Luo Fei spoke casually, glancing out of the corner of his eye to observe Xi Ruyi's reaction.
Sure enough, her chopsticks paused for a moment, but she quickly resumed normal. A promising talent, he thought.
At 8 PM, fog rolled in on the river.
Luo Fei stood on the deck, the damp mist licking his cheeks like the tongue of a venomous snake.
He took out his encrypted phone and sent the location prediction to Director Meng.
At 10:25, the phone finally rang. An unfamiliar number, a voice altered by a voice changer.
"Peach Blossom Island in Wooden Cave, under the unfinished bridge. One hour."
Luo Fei immediately notified Director Meng.
Anti-drug squad leader Gao Wei led the team to set off, but Peach Blossom Island had a complex terrain, so they had to park their car five kilometers away and approach on foot.
Meanwhile, Luo Fei's cargo ship had already set sail.
"Check the equipment."
The four acted swiftly, carrying bulletproof vests, earpieces, and pistols. Xi Ruyi even stuffed a butterfly knife into her boot.
Luo Fei pretended not to see it; police academies don't teach this.
The cargo ship broke through the dark water, and the outline of Peach Blossom Island gradually emerged.
It was a deserted island abandoned by developers, with an unfinished bridge standing on the water like a broken arm.
There were no lights, no human voices, only the chirping of insects and the sound of waves lapping against the hull.
"Something's wrong."
Zeng Jian stared at the thermal imager.
No human heat source was found.
Luo Fei's heart tightened, and he dialed General Manager Wei's number.
"Here we are."
"I've arrived too."
Mr. Wei's voice suddenly came from behind.
The four of them turned around abruptly. Searchlights shone from the unfinished bridge, blinding them.
A man in a military overcoat stood at the bow of the ship, half of his face hidden in shadow.
"Mr. Li, I've heard so much about you."
Mr. Wei extended his hand.
Luo Fei noticed that he was wearing gloves, even in the height of summer.
When they shook hands, Luo Fei felt hard calluses on the other person's palm, marks from years of gun use.
"It is my honor that President Wei came in person."
Mr. Wei smiled, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
"The goods are in the water."
"what?"
Xi Ruyi was speechless.
"The waterproof container sank under the bridge pier."
Mr. Wei pointed to the dark water.
"Diving equipment is needed."
He pulled out a small remote control.
"This is the switch. The goods are fine, it's yours."
The plan changed. What was originally thought to be a normal dock handover turned out to be a surprise by General Manager Wei.
Luo Fei winked at Chen Xuanran.
"You go."
Chen Xuanran nodded and took out portable diving equipment from his backpack.
A subordinate of General Manager Wei handed her a diving suit, and her fingers trembled as she took it.
This isn't acting; it's genuine fear.
Luo Fei knew she had received diving training at the police academy, but the current here was rapid, and underwater visibility was almost zero. (End of Chapter)
