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

"Didn't Captain Wan tell you to run laps on the track?"

Luo Fei shrugged.

"I'm going to have some tea."

"Tsk tsk, the Municipal Bureau's coveted employees are truly exceptional."

Xiao Zhang patted him on the shoulder.

“If we’re late once, Captain Wan will nag us for half a month. But you, on the other hand, get no punishment at all.”

Several colleagues nearby joined in the commotion.

"Exactly! Luo Fei, with this kind of treatment, you're bound to become the public enemy of the Jiangcheng police force sooner or later!"

Luo Fei shook his head helplessly and strode towards his office.

As he pushed open the door, a rich aroma of milk tea wafted out. He stood there, stunned. On his table were seven or eight cups of milk tea from different brands, with water droplets still clinging to the sides of the cups.

"What's going on?"

Luo Fei turned to look at Chen Xuanran, who was organizing documents.

Chen Xuanran didn't even look up.

"Don't ask me, I didn't buy it. It was probably a gift from your 'little fans'."

"Where did I get this little fangirl from?"

Luo Fei walked to the table, picked up a cup of milk tea and looked at it; there was a label on it.

Three-tenths sugar, no ice, and coconut jelly—it's exactly his usual flavor.

Before he could think it through, there was another knock on the office door.

A deliveryman stood at the door holding four or five cups of coffee.

"Is Officer Luo Fei here? Your coffee."

Luo Fei took the coffee in disbelief and found that each cup had a different note on it.

Americano without sugar, latte with double espresso, and caramel macchiato are all flavors he usually drinks.

"What's going on"

Before he could finish speaking, another deliveryman walked in carrying a large bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket.

For the next half hour, Luo Fei's office entrance became a veritable delivery hub. Flowers, fruit, plush toys, and even a limited-edition detective novel piled high on the reception desk.

"Oh My God"

Sister Li from the next office peeked out.

"Xiao Luo, are you opening a general store?"

Chen Xuanran finally put down the documents, walked over to Luo Fei, and picked up a small bear dressed in a police uniform to look at it.

"It seems someone cares about you a lot, they even know exactly what you like."

Luo Fei scratched his head.

"Could it be a mistake?"

"Can't be wrong."

Chen Xuanran pointed to a small box.

“This box of chocolates is your favorite Belgian brand. You kept talking about it the whole way when I went on my last business trip.”

More and more colleagues gathered, and they started teasing each other.

"Luo Fei, your luck with women is just too good!"

"Tell me honestly, did you secretly participate in any dating shows?"

"I think these gifts came from at least five different people. How many people is Detective Luo juggling?"

Luo Fei could only give an awkward laugh.

Being too handsome can also be a problem.

Inside the office of the Director of the National Security Division of Kyoto City.

Lei Wanting was playing with an exquisite metal lighter.

"Director, Luo Fei's performance this time was truly amazing."

Zhou Wenqi, the head of the intelligence section, stood in front of his desk, a detailed report on the drug manufacturing case he had just cracked displayed on his tablet computer.

"In just half a month, they dismantled a drug manufacturing den that had been operating for three years, and they also followed the clues to uncover the protective umbrella behind it."

Lei Wanting turned around, his eyes filled with admiration.

"That kid's got some skills. How's the situation with the special operations team?"

"There is a severe shortage of manpower, especially for compound talents like Luo Fei who have both criminal investigation experience and knowledge of criminal psychology."

Zhou Wenqi's eyes were shrewd.

"Director, I think it's time to officially transfer Luo Fei over here."

Lei Wanting walked to his office chair and sat down, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

"Is he still employed by the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau?"

“Nominally it’s a temporary posting, but in reality we’ve already been using him to handle some tricky cases.”

Zhou Wenqi lowered his voice.

"Moreover, according to our assessment, Luo Fei's grasp of criminal psychology and his on-site intuition are even more accurate than those of the agents we have trained for many years."

A glint flashed in Lei Wanting's eyes as he picked up the red landline phone on the table.

"Then now."

As soon as the call was connected, Lei Wanting's expression immediately became amiable.

"Luo Fei, this is Lei Wanting. First of all, congratulations on solving this major case, well done!"

Luo Fei's slightly tired but still steady voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Thank you, Director Lei. This is all thanks to the teamwork."

"that's humble."

Lei Wanting laughed heartily.

"I've read the report, and you discovered all the key clues. How about it, are you interested in joining the National Security Bureau? The Special Operations Group is in dire need of elites like you."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

"Director Lei, I am honored, but..."

Luo Fei's voice was somewhat hesitant.

"I still have a few cases to close, and the Lunar New Year is just around the corner. My family is looking forward to a reunion. Could we discuss this again next year?"

Lei Wanting's expression remained unchanged, but his tone was still gentle.

"I understand, family reunions are important. But Luo Fei, the doors of the National Security Bureau are always open for you. By the way, when you have time, go and visit the Jiangcheng branch of the National Security Bureau. They've already prepared a private office for you; the environment is quite nice."

After hanging up the phone, Lei Wanting's expression turned cold.

"This kid won't listen to reason, he'll have to suffer the consequences."

Zhou Wenqi asked cautiously.

"He doesn't want to come?"

"I've temporarily declined."

Lei Wanting snorted coldly.

"But it's alright. Since he likes solving cases, we'll give him a few more 'gifts.' We'll have the Jiangcheng branch assign him a few difficult cases so he can taste the sweetness of success."

Meanwhile, inside the Municipal Public Security Bureau building, anti-drug team leader Gao Wei was adjusting his tie in front of Director Meng's office.

He knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Director Meng's deep voice came from inside.

Gao Wei pushed open the door and entered, his face beaming with smiles.

"Director Meng, excuse me. It's still about Luo Fei."

Director Meng put down the documents in his hand, feeling a bit of a headache.

"Gao Wei, this is your third visit this week."

"Director Meng, the anti-drug team really needs someone like Luo Fei!"

Gao Wei excitedly took a step forward.

"His analysis of clues in cracking drug manufacturing cases was simply phenomenal! If only we had him..."

"Captain Gao, are you poaching people again?"

Wan Qiang pushed open the door and entered, holding a stack of documents in his hand, with a half-smile on his face.

Gao Wei's expression was stiff.

"Captain Wan, what are you saying?"

Wan Qiang placed the documents on Director Meng's desk and turned to face Gao Wei.

"Save your breath, Gao Wei. Luo Fei won't go to the anti-drug squad."

"how do you know?"

Gao Wei retorted, unconvinced.

"Drug enforcement needs criminal psychology experts like him even more than criminal investigation!"

Wan Qiang scoffed.

"Because the National Security Bureau has been keeping an eye on him for a long time. Lei Wanting made the call personally. Do you think you can compete with the Director of the National Security Bureau?"

Gao Wei's expression changed, but he quickly regained his resolve.

"How will I know if I don't try? As long as there's a glimmer of hope, I won't give up."

Director Meng sighed.

“Gao Wei, Wan Qiang is right. Luo Fei is under a lot of attention right now, so transferring him won’t be a simple matter.”

Gao Wei clenched his fists in frustration. "Director Meng, give me another chance."

After leaving the director's office, Gao Wei and Wan Qiang walked side by side down the corridor.

"You were like this in college, always insisting on doing things you knew were impossible."

Wan Qiang suddenly spoke, his tone laced with sarcasm.

Gao Wei paused in his steps.

"What do you mean?"

Do you remember Lin Xiaoyu?

Wan Qiang looked directly into Gao Wei's eyes.

"You knew perfectly well that she liked me back then, but you still clung to her relentlessly."

Gao Wei's face turned ugly.

Why bring up old stories? Work is work.

"is it?"

Wan Qiang sneered.

"Then why are you so fixated on Luo Fei? Is it because he's capable? Or because... he's my right-hand man?"

Gao Wei looked flustered, but quickly calmed down.

"Think what you want. But Wan Qiang, I won't give up easily this time."

Back in his office, Gao Wei closed the door and slammed his fist against the wall.

He took out his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and finally stopped at the name "Dai Fazhe".

After the call was connected, a gentle male voice came through.

"Captain Gao? What a rare guest! What brings you to call me?"

"Dean Dai, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Gao Wei lowered his voice.

"Does your college have any pretty female students? Preferably those who are about to graduate and need to do internships."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

"Gao Wei, what do you mean by this?"

"Do not misunderstand."

Gao Wei hurriedly explained.

"Our anti-drug team is looking to recruit an intern, preferably someone who can attract Luo Fei's attention."

"Luo Fei? That genius detective who solved the serial murder case?"

Dai Fazhe's voice suddenly became interested.

"You're planning to use your feminine wiles?"

Gao Wei chuckled twice.

"Don't put it so harshly. I just think it's easier for young people to communicate, and maybe I can persuade Luo Fei to consider joining the anti-drug squad."

Dai Fazhe chuckled softly on the other end of the phone.

"Captain Gao, Captain Gao, you're still the same after all these years. But... I do know someone suitable."

"Who?"

Gao Wei asked eagerly.

"Zeng Mengxue, a senior majoring in criminal investigation, is a recognized campus beauty with excellent grades and is also the Minister of the Arts and Culture Department of the Student Union."

Dai Fazhe's voice carried a hint of smugness.

"Most importantly, she has always regarded Luo Fei as her idol."

Gao Wei's eyes lit up.

"That's great! Dean Dai, I'm counting on you for this. But... please don't tell her that I arranged it."

"Understood, I would say it was an internship opportunity recommended by the college."

Dai Fazhe paused for a moment.

"But Gao Wei, are you sure this will work? Luo Fei isn't someone who's easily fooled."

Gao Wei smiled confidently.

"If there's a chance, it's worth a try. Men, even heroes, can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman."

……

"Zeng Mengxue, the principal wants to see you."

Zeng Mengxue, who was sweating profusely on the training field, heard her classmate's shout, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked in the direction of the administration building with some confusion.

The principal's office? What could a regular police academy student possibly have that would require the principal to personally summon her?
"I know, go right away."

She dusted off her training uniform and jogged across the playground.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door to the principal's office, Zeng Mengxue saw the principal talking to a middle-aged man in a police uniform.

The police rank on the man's shoulder made her heart skip a beat; he was a third-level police supervisor, at least a leader at the municipal bureau level.

"Reporting! Police academy cadet Zeng Mengxue reporting for duty!"

She stood up straight, her voice clear and crisp.

The principal smiled and waved.

"Come here, Mengxue, this is Captain Gao Wei of the Narcotics Enforcement Division of Jiangcheng City Police Department."

Gao Wei turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping over Zeng Mengxue from head to toe like an X-ray.

He was in his early forties, with dark skin and deep wrinkles around his eyes, exuding an aura of authority without being angry.

"Hello, Zeng."

Gao Wei's voice was deep and powerful.

“I’ve reviewed your file. Your grades are good, especially your close combat and reconnaissance courses, which are both excellent.”

Zeng Mengxue's heart raced, and her fingers unconsciously tightened around the seams of her trousers. The Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau's Narcotics Enforcement Team? That was one of the most elite police forces in the entire province; every year, countless top police academy students would fight tooth and nail to get an internship there.

"Thank you, Captain Gao."

She tried to remain calm, but her voice still trembled.

Gao Wei took a document out of his briefcase and handed it to the principal.

"All the formalities are completed, and I want to take her there as soon as possible."

The principal nodded and turned to Zeng Mengxue.

"Mengxue, Captain Gao specifically requested that you intern at the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau. This is an exceptional arrangement. What are your thoughts?"

Zeng Mengxue was speechless for a moment.

As is customary, police academy students are mostly assigned to county or even township police stations for their internships. Getting into a prefecture-level city police station is considered lucky, let alone the anti-drug squad of a sub-provincial city like Jiangcheng.

"I do!"

She almost shouted it out, then realized her mistake and added, blushing.

"What I mean is, I am very grateful for Captain Gao's and the school's trust, and I will definitely cherish this opportunity!"

Gao Wei's lips curled up in a smile.

"Can we leave tomorrow?"

"can!"

Zeng Mengxue answered without hesitation.

As Zeng Mengxue walked out of the principal's office, her legs were still trembling.

She took out her phone and quickly dialed her home number.

"Mom! I'm going to do my internship at the Jiangcheng City Police Department!"

As soon as the call connected, she couldn't help but shout it out.

A mother's joyful cry came from the other end of the phone, followed by a commotion, as she clearly told the rest of the family the news immediately.

Soon, the father answered the phone, his voice filled with pride.

"Good girl! The first one in the whole village to get into the municipal bureau!"

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Mengxue stood on the tree-lined path on campus, gazing absently at the training field in the distance.

It all felt like a dream.

She pinched her arm and hissed in pain; it wasn't a dream.

The next morning, Zeng Mengxue boarded the high-speed train bound for Jiangcheng with her suitcase.

During the eight-hour drive, she barely slept, constantly imagining the internship that was about to begin.

As the train pulled into Hutouyan Station, Zeng Mengxue's heart raced once again.

She dragged her luggage and followed the flow of people out of the station, looking around at the exit, searching for someone who might come to pick her up.

"Zeng Mengxue?"

A clear, crisp female voice came from the side.

Zeng Mengxue turned her head and saw a policewoman with short, neat hair holding up a sign with her name on it.

The policewoman was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with beautiful features, but her eyes revealed a sharp edge.

"I'm He Min from the Criminal Investigation Team. Captain Gao sent me to pick you up."

The policewoman smiled and extended her hand.

Zeng Mengxue quickly grasped it.

"Hello, Senior Sister He! Thank you for your help."

He Min took her suitcase. (End of Chapter)
