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

"Don't go."

"what happened?"

Luo Fei looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"You've been acting strange these past few days."

"nothing."

Chen Xuanran forced a smile.

"I still have a report to finish writing."

Luo Fei shrugged and followed Chen Zhiqiang.

The entrance to the Narcotics Control Detachment's general office was crowded with people. Through the gaps in the crowd, Luo Fei saw Zeng Mengxue surrounded by a crowd of admirers.

She wore a well-fitting police uniform, her black hair was tied in a high ponytail, and her eyes curved into crescents when she smiled; she was indeed strikingly beautiful.

"Captain Luo!"

Gao Wei's loud voice came from behind, and a warm hand patted Luo Fei's shoulder.

"What a rare guest! What brings you to our anti-drug squad?"

Luo Fei turned around and met Gao Wei's smiling face.

Gao Wei is in his early forties. He has fine lines around his eyes, but he maintains a good physique and wears his police uniform very neatly.

"I heard we have a new colleague, so I came to check it out."

Luo Fei smiled politely.

Gao Wei put his arm around his shoulder and led him to the captain's office without saying a word.

"Perfect timing, I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

Once the office door is closed, the noise outside is immediately shut out.

Gao Wei's office was much larger than Luo Fei's, and the walls were covered with certificates of merit and banners.

The most eye-catching thing is a yellowed old photo facing the desk, showing more than 20 anti-drug police officers lined up in neat rows, with two young men standing arm in arm in the center of the front row.

Do you recognize them?

Gao Wei pointed to the photo and asked.

Luo Fei seemed to be deep in thought.

The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes on the left was clearly his father when he was young, while the one on the right... He turned to look at Gao Wei and suddenly realized.

"Is this you?"

"Yes."

Gao Wei's voice suddenly turned low.

"Your father, Hao Jianguo, and I were brothers who joined the police force at the same time and went through thick and thin together for more than ten years."

He pointed to a policewoman with braided pigtails in the back row of the photo.

"This is your mother."

Luo Fei felt a tightness in his chest. He was only eight years old when his parents died in the line of duty, and his memories of them were already hazy.

The parents in this photo are so young and full of life, overlapping with the lingering images from his dreams.

"Because of your special circumstances."

Gao Wei carefully considered his words.

"I've never dared to get too close to you, afraid of triggering bad memories for you."

Luo Fei knew that Gao Wei was referring to the kidnapping case he experienced when he was ten years old, which caused him to lose some of his childhood memories.

He observed Gao Wei's expression discreetly, trying to find a flaw in it.

"Now that I see you doing so well in the criminal investigation team, Lao Hao must be very pleased in heaven."

Gao Wei patted Luo Fei on the shoulder, then suddenly changed the subject.

"With your abilities, you will have greater opportunities in the anti-drug squad."

Luo Fei raised an eyebrow.

"What does Captain Gao mean?"

"Come join our anti-drug squad."

Gao Wei looked him straight in the eye.

"We'll keep the vice-captain position for you, with double the benefits."

He lowered his voice.

"Zeng Mengxue can be your assistant, and Chen Xuanran can be brought along as well."

Luo Fei almost choked on his own saliva.

Gao Wei's move was a blatant honey trap! He barely suppressed a laugh.

"Captain Gao, are you suggesting I have women on both sides? I don't have that kind of luck, and I don't want to become the enemy of all the bachelors in the entire bureau."

Gao Wei burst into laughter.

"Young people like us, it won't hurt to get to know each other better. Besides, Team Two is much safer than your Special Case Unit."

Safety? Luo Fei's eyes narrowed.

What did Gao Wei mean by that? Does he know something?
"Thank you for your kindness, Captain Gao."

Luo Fei stood up, polite yet resolute.

"I'm doing well in the criminal investigation team. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Gao Wei's smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

"You are welcome to change your mind at any time."

Luo Fei practically fled the anti-drug squad. In the corridor, he took out his phone and glanced at the message Cheng Yunchuan had just sent.

"Gao Wei has been in frequent contact with three suspicious numbers overseas in the past six months, and his bank statements show that he has a large amount of unexplained income."

He deleted the text message.

The connection between Gao Wei and his father, Han Zixuan's faked death, and suspicious overseas contacts must all be related.

Back in his office, Chen Xuanran was engrossed in writing a report and didn't even look up when he heard the door open.

"Oh, are you still angry?"

Luo Fei leaned closer and teased her on purpose.

"Is she on her period?"

Chen Xuanran slammed the folder shut.

"You're the one who just got your period!"

Luo Fei grinned.

"That means she's jealous. Don't worry, no matter how pretty Zeng Mengxue is, she can't compare to your charm."

"Who is jealous!"

Chen Xuanran's ears turned bright red. He picked up his pen and continued writing the report, but made several mistakes.

"Where you go is none of my business."

Just as Luo Fei was about to continue teasing her, there was a sudden knock on the door.

He turned and opened the door. A girl in a light blue dress stood outside, holding a delicate little cake in her hands.

"Hello, Captain Luo."

The girl's voice was soft.

“I am Ruan Yunting, Wan Qiang’s niece.”

Luo Fei was taken aback. Ruan Yunting was even more exquisite than in the photos, with skin so fair it was almost translucent, and a hint of shyness in her almond-shaped eyes.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

Before Ruan Yunting could speak, Luo Fei's phone rang. It was Wan Qiang.

"Luo Fei."

Wan Qiang's voice carried an unnatural warmth.

"Today is my niece's birthday. She has admired police officers since she was little, so I was thinking, could you have a meal with her? It would be like fulfilling a dream for the little girl."

Luo Fei glanced at Ruan Yunting, who was looking down, and then at Chen Xuanran, who was listening intently in the office. Suddenly, he understood something.

"Okay."

He readily agreed.

"I'm hungry too."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Fei smiled at Ruan Yunting.

"Let me grab a coat."

He turned and winked at Chen Xuanran.

"I'm going out for a bit, can you finish writing this report for me?"

Chen Xuanran watched helplessly as Luo Fei and that pretty girl left together.

The office erupted in chaos.

"Isn't that Ruan Yunting, the school beauty from Longshan Middle School?"

Li Ya was the first to rush over.

"Wan Qiang actually brought up his niece!"

"what's the situation?"

Zhou Xuan jumped up from her seat.

"Is Captain Luo being fought over by Gao Wei and Wan Qiang like a hot commodity?"

Chen Zhiqiang shook his head.

"Tsk tsk, Gao Wei used Zeng Mengxue, and Wan Qiang used his own niece. These methods..."

"Wan Qiang is really pushing himself too hard!"

Li Ya was speechless.

"Even her niece was sacrificed to compete with Gao Wei?"

Luo Fei opened the passenger door and gentlemanly let Ruan Yunting get in first.

The girl sat down quietly, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall, exuding a faint jasmine fragrance.

"fasten your seatbelt."

Luo Fei reminded him, and then went around to the driver's seat.

After starting the car, he glanced at the girl beside him; she was looking down and fiddling with the hem of her skirt.

How is your uncle doing lately?

Luo Fei broke the silence, speaking in a relaxed tone as if he were talking about the weather.

Ruan Yunting paused for a moment, her voice barely audible.

"F-okay."

This girl is terrible at acting. Sending her here is like sending a lamb to the slaughter.

Luo Fei glanced at her tense profile out of the corner of his eye; this "sheep" was surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

"Did those thugs cause you trouble again last time?"

Luo Fei changed the subject.

"Nothing."

This time, Ruan Yunting answered more fluently, and even looked up at him. "They haven't dared to come back since you last visited the school."

Luo Fei nodded.

"What about Long Shaokun? How is he doing at school?"

Ruan Junting's eyes lit up at the mention of this name.

"He's great! He's helped a lot of students who were bullied, and the school atmosphere is much better now."

"That's good."

Luo Fei turned the steering wheel.

"When his sister comes back next time, have him let me know."

Ruan Yunting suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Officer Luo is a lecher."

Luo Fei raised an eyebrow.

"Everyone has a love for beauty."

He added meaningfully.

"It's only natural for your uncle to send you here."

Ruan Yunting's face flushed red, all the way down to her ears.

She didn't expect her mission to be seen through so quickly, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to jump out of the car and run away.

"take it easy."

Luo Fei spoke in a gentle tone.

"All we need to do is complete the task."

He caught a glimpse of her shy demeanor, breathtakingly beautiful in the sunlight.

Luo Fei secretly rejoiced that he was wearing sunglasses, which shielded him from potentially overly intense gazes.

Although there was no one around, he still restrained the urge to use his "Genius Eye" to see through things. There are some boundaries that, even if you have the ability to cross them, you shouldn't try to do so easily.

Around noon, Luo Fei brought Ruan Yunting to the famous "Nine Heavens" restaurant in the city center.

"It's so beautiful here."

Ruan Yunting finally spoke up, her eyes sparkling as she gazed out the window.

Luo Fei poured her a glass of lemonade.

What do you usually like to eat?

"Anything is fine."

She tensed up again, twisting her napkin between her fingers.

Luo Fei sighed inwardly.

Wan Qiang, that old fox, sent such an innocent niece. Is he sure he won't make a move on the young girl?
He took it upon himself to order several signature dishes, all of which were sweet and appealing to girls.

While waiting for the food, Ruan Yunting's phone vibrated.

She glanced at the screen, and her expression subtly changed.

"Your uncle?"

Luo Fei sipped his coffee, his tone resolute.

Ruan Yunting bit her lower lip and nodded.

He asked about the progress of the mission.

Luo Fei smiled.

"Tell him that we get along well."

He deliberately moved closer and lowered his voice.

"By the way, I really admire your professionalism."

Ruan Yunting's ears turned red again, and her fingers trembled as she typed with her head down.

Luo Fei leaned back in his chair, feeling inexplicably pleased. Teasing this shy "little spy" had unexpectedly become a bright spot in his monotonous work.

The Shibatidi commercial street was bustling with people in the afternoon.

Ruan Yunting walked beside Luo Fei, maintaining a just-right distance—not too close to appear intimate, nor too far to appear distant.

"What do you want to buy?"

Luo Fei asked.

Ruan Yunting shook her head.

"No need, I don't need anything."

Luo Fei saw through her politeness and went straight into a boutique, pointing to a starry blue dress in the window.

"Want to try this?"

"too expensive!"

Ruan Junting exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the label.

Luo Fei had already taken out his wallet.

"Mission funding".

He blinked.

"Your uncle will reimburse you."

Twenty minutes later, Ruan Yunting walked out wearing a new dress, its hem cascading like a silver river as she twirled. Passing boys couldn't help but turn their heads, and Luo Fei suddenly regretted his decision.

"Does it look good?"

Ruan Yunting asked softly, her smile this time seeming more genuine.

Luo Fei's Adam's apple bobbed.

"suitable for you."

He looked away.

"Let's go, I'll take you to a better place."

At night, a cool breeze wafts from the viewing platform. The night view of Jiangcheng unfolds below, with thousands of lights like stars fallen to earth.

"I've never seen Jiangcheng from this angle before."

Ruan Yunting leaned on the railing, the night wind blowing through her long hair.

Luo Fei stood beside her, maintaining a gentlemanly distance.

"Do you know about your uncle's plan?"

Ruan Yunting's body stiffened.

He said he wanted to make you tired of beautiful women.

Luo Fei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"So he thinks that if I see too many beautiful women, I'll lose interest in other women?"

Ruan Yunting nodded, her voice growing softer and softer.

"Especially for Officer Zeng."

Luo Fei's smile faded. So that's how it is.

Has the power struggle between Wan Qiang and Gao Wei reached this extent? He turned to look at Ruan Junting.

Do you know why your uncle chose you instead of someone else?

The girl shook her head in confusion.

"Because you are the least likely to truly move me."

Luo Fei spoke calmly.

"You are too young and naive; you are not from our world."

"But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy my time today."

Luo Fei added gently.

"You're cute, but you're not suited for this mission."

On the way back, Ruan Junting kept looking out the window.

She only spoke softly after Luo Fei escorted her to her doorstep.

"Thank you for taking care of me today. I will tell Uncle that the mission is accomplished."

Luo Fei nodded.

Goodnight, school beauty.

Watching the girl walk through the villa gate, Luo Fei breathed a sigh of relief. In the rearview mirror, he noticed a smile still lingering on his lips.

Although Wan Qiang's plan was absurd, it did allow him to temporarily forget the disputes within the police station, including Chen Xuanran, who was causing him distress.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuanran was lying on his sofa, holding his phone up to his face, staring blankly at Luo Fei's chat window. The last message on the screen was a work discussion from three days ago.

"what should I do?"

She asked Zhu Ke'er on the other end of the phone.

"Honey, isn't it obvious?"

Zhu Ke'er's voice came through the microphone, carrying a sense of disappointment and frustration.

"Luo Fei is definitely interested in you, but he's a cunning old fox and is deliberately keeping you hanging!"

Chen Xuanran rolled over and buried his face in the pillow.

"But he was with that school beauty today."

"Listen to me, give him a sense of crisis!"

Zhu Ke'er interrupted her.

"Men are all like this; they don't know how to cherish something until they lose it."

That evening, Chen Xuanran was lost in thought when his phone rang abruptly. He hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Xuanran, are you free tonight?"

The mother's voice was filled with unusual excitement.

"Your Aunt Wang and her family have returned from abroad, with her son Shen Lang. Do you remember? You used to play together a lot when you were little."

Chen Xuanran's fingers unconsciously twirled around the ends of his hair.

"Shen Lang?"

The name seemed to drift from a distant memory, so vague that it was almost impossible to grasp.

"Yes! That kid is really successful now, he's a senior executive at IDG."

The mother's voice rose eight octaves.

"They specifically asked to see you; they've been talking about you ever since they saw your photo."

Chen Xuanran felt a wave of discomfort in his chest.

"Mom, I'm working overtime today."

"Come on this!"

Her mother immediately saw through her excuse.

"Seven o'clock, Emperor Hotel. If you don't come, I'm coming to your police station!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuanran let out a long sigh. (End of Chapter)
