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

"Holy crap, the deputy mayor is here in person!"

"Officer Hao's entourage is really something else!"

"This is true hero treatment!"

In the crowd, a man wearing a baseball cap sneered; it was Xiao Dingkun.

He pulled his hat brim down, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Good riddance, a wonderful death. This is what happens when you oppose me."

After finishing the interview, Vice Mayor Xiao waited outside the hall with other officials.

Not long after, another commotion broke out. This time it was a group of middle-aged men in police uniforms, the two at the head of the group with gleaming epaulets and a powerful aura.

"That's Director Zeng from the provincial department!"

A sharp-eyed reporter exclaimed in surprise.

The host quickly stepped forward.

"May I ask the two leaders?"

"I can't believe it," said Huang Yong, director of the Qingyang District Public Security Bureau, in a deep voice.

"Although Comrade Luo Fei was young, his deeds and spirit are worthy of emulation by all of us police officers. Today, on behalf of the Sichuan Provincial Police Department, we come to bid farewell to this comrade-in-arms."

Zeng Shaoyun, the director of the provincial police department, took the microphone.

"Comrade Luo Fei exemplified the oath of 'People's Police for the People' with his life. His sacrifice is a great loss to our police force."

The internet is buzzing again.

"Even bigwigs from the provincial government are here!"

"What major achievements has Officer Hao made at this level?"

"I heard he single-handedly took down an entire transnational drug trafficking syndicate!"

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, the entrance to the funeral home suddenly fell silent.

A group of people in special uniforms walked slowly, the words "National Security" on their chests shining brightly in the sunlight.

Although the elderly man at the head of the group was over seventy years old, he walked with a steady gait, and the olive branches on his epaulets encircling the national emblem highlighted his supreme status.

"The...Superintendent General?!"

Some knowledgeable netizens were so shocked they dropped their phones.

"This guy's on par with the police chief!"

Lei Wanting walked straight to the mourning hall without glancing to the side.

The host was about to step forward when he was politely stopped by state security personnel.

"Sorry, the leader does not accept interviews."

But that was enough to ignite the internet.

"Am I seeing things? The Chief Superintendent of the Ministry of State Security?!"

What was Luo Fei's true identity before his death?

"It's terrifying to think about. Could he be a national security agent?"

Xiao Dingkun's expression shifted between anger and rage as he muttered through gritted teeth.

"Playing tricks! Once someone's dead, they're dead. No amount of pomp and circumstance can bring them back to life!"

At 9:00 a.m. sharp, the doors of the memorial hall slowly opened.

The interior was solemnly decorated, with hundreds of seats neatly arranged. In the center was a coffin draped with the national flag, and Luo Fei's peaceful face was clearly visible through the crystal coffin lid.

Lei Wanting and other leaders were led to sit in the first row.

Meng Haonan, as the chairman of the funeral committee, walked heavily onto the stage to preside over the ceremony.

"Distinguished leaders, honored guests..."

His voice was a little hoarse.

"Today, with extremely heavy hearts, we bid farewell to our good comrade-in-arms, Luo Fei."

Footage of Luo Fei during his lifetime began playing on the large screen.

He bravely fought off criminals, rescued people, and received commendations. Every frame of the video evoked tears.

"Comrade Luo Fei served in the police force for seven years and was awarded the First-Class Merit Citation twice, the Second-Class Merit Citation five times, and the Third-Class Merit Citation nine times."

As Meng Haonan read the eulogy, his voice grew increasingly choked with emotion.

"He set a record for awards in the Jiangcheng police force, but he never became arrogant or complacent because of it."

In the audience, Chen Xuanran's sister, Chen Xue, clutched a tissue tightly, her clothes already soaked with tears.

When she saw the footage of Luo Fei's last mission, she could no longer hold on and fainted.

"sister!"

Chen Xuanran hurriedly helped her up, but his own tears also rolled down uncontrollably.

The colleagues at Xiahegou Police Station stood in a row, and the tough-as-nails Chief Wang Tiezhu was crying like a child.

"Brother Hao, why did you leave like this?"

Meng Haonan continued.

"To protect the hostages, he shielded them from the gunmen's bullets with his own body. Even in his last moments, he was still asking if the hostages were safe."

These words completely shattered the psychological defenses of everyone present.

Luo Fei's ex-girlfriends broke down in tears, and his close female friends covered their faces and wept. The entire hall was overwhelmed by a wave of grief.

"All rise!"

Meng Haonan announced loudly.

"Three bows to the remains of Comrade Luo Fei!"

Hundreds of people stood up in unison and bowed deeply to the coffin.

Lei Wanting raised his hand in salute, tears streaming down his face; Director Zeng and Director Huang straightened their backs, tears welling in their eyes; Vice Mayor Xiao bowed his head in silent mourning, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Even the usually aloof Xiao Dingkun had to pretend to lower his head, but secretly raised his eyes when no one was watching, trying to see Luo Fei's "deathly appearance".

"Comrade Luo Fei will live forever!"

Meng Haonan's voice echoed in the hall.

At the very moment when the grief reached its peak, no one noticed that Luo Fei's fingers twitched slightly inside the crystal coffin.

[Ding! Host's vital signs detected as extremely weak. Super self-healing system forcibly activated!]

A mechanical voice rang out in Luo Fei's chaotic consciousness.

Luo Fei felt his consciousness slowly emerge from a state of chaos.

"Where am I?"

His last memory was of the horrific car accident: the blinding headlights, the screech of brakes, and then the violent impact.

His head slammed heavily against the steering wheel, and blood blurred his vision.
"System notification. Host's vital signs are recovering, and the super self-healing ability has been activated."

A mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind, startling Luo Fei.

What was that sound? A super self-healing ability? Before he could think about it, he felt the pain all over his body receding like a tide, especially the tearing pain in his head, which was rapidly disappearing.

In less than ten seconds, Luo Fei was surprised to find that he was fully awake.

He tried to move his fingers, then his arm, and finally opened his eyes.

There was darkness in front of him.

"what happened?"

Luo Fei thought, puzzled.

He reached out and touched his surroundings, finding himself trapped in a long, narrow wooden container, just big enough to hold his body.

As his fingers touched the top plank, a terrible thought flashed through his mind: This shape, this feel, this is clearly a coffin!
Just then, he heard the somber strains of funeral music playing outside, along with the sounds of weeping rising and falling.

"Luo Fei, why did you leave like this?"

A familiar female voice cried out; it was Chen Hao's voice.

"System notification. The host has been declared dead and a memorial service is currently being held."

"what?!"

Luo Fei almost shouted it out.

He's dead? What a joke! He felt perfectly fine, even more energetic than before the accident.

Without thinking twice, Luo Fei forcefully pushed open the coffin lid and sat up abruptly.

At the memorial service, hundreds of mourners dressed in black were immersed in grief.

Meng Haonan stood in the front row with a solemn expression; Lei Wanting, as the director of the National Security Department, stood solemnly to the side; Chen Xuanran's eyes were red from crying, and she tightly clutched a photo of Luo Fei in her hand.

Just as the pastor was about to deliver the eulogy, the coffin suddenly made a loud "bang," the lid was pushed open, and Luo Fei sat up straight!
The entire hall fell into a deathly silence instantly.

Everyone's expression froze, their eyes wide open, and their mouths agape as if they could fit an egg in them.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

"Oh my god! It's come back to life!"

A sharp female voice suddenly shattered the silence.

The scream was like a bomb going off, and the entire memorial hall instantly erupted in chaos.

People screamed, shoved, and surged frantically toward the exit. Chairs were overturned, wreaths were trampled, and the scene was utter chaos.

"Run!"

"Ghost!"

"Help!"

Meng Haonan's face turned ashen, and he staggered back a few steps, almost tripping over himself.

Lei Wanting also showed a rare look of panic and quickly retreated to a safe distance.

In less than half a minute, almost everyone in the hall had left, leaving only a few of Luo Fei's closest people: Chen Xuanran, Zhou Xuan, Zeng Jian, Xu Hanwen, and Chen Hao, who had already fainted from crying.

Luo Fei jumped out of the coffin and dusted himself off.

"Don't be afraid, everyone, I'm not dead!"

He explained loudly, his voice so loud it didn't sound like that of a "dead man".

Chen Xuanran was the first to react.

She took a trembling step forward, then another, and tears welled up again, but this time they were from unbelievable joy.

"Luo Luofei? Is it really you?"

Her voice trembled so much it was almost inaudible.

"It's me, Xuanran."

Luo Fei smiled and opened his arms.

Chen Xuanran could no longer control herself, rushed over and threw herself into Luo Fei's arms, bursting into tears.

"I thought I would never see you again!"

She sobbed, clutching Luo Fei's clothes tightly with both hands, as if afraid he would disappear again.

Zhou Xuan, Zeng Jian, and Xu Hanwen slowly gathered around, their faces filled with shock and joy.

"Old Luo, you scared us to death!"

Zhou Xuan patted Luo Fei on the shoulder, his voice still trembling slightly.

"The doctors declared you brain dead, how could you..."

Luo Fei scratched his head and gave an awkward smile.

"It might be a state of suspended animation, like in the movies."

"suspended animation?"

Xu Hanwen pushed up his glasses.

"Dude, if you had woken up ten minutes later, the funeral would have ended and you'd be sent straight to the crematorium. If you had woken up then, you would have been roasted alive!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, which eased the tense atmosphere considerably.

At this moment, Luo Fei noticed Chen Hao lying on the ground.

"What happened to her? Did she faint from fright?"

Chen Xuanran wiped away her tears.

"She fainted from crying. She's been crying nonstop ever since she heard the news about you."

Luo Fei walked over and carefully picked up Chen Hao.

Just then, Chen Hao slowly opened her eyes.

Am I in heaven?

She asked weakly, then saw clearly who was holding her.

"Ah! Luo Fei!"

After letting out a scream, she fainted again.

"It seems that it will take some time for everyone to digest the news of my resurrection."

Luo Fei shook his head with a wry smile.

Suddenly, he realized a problem. His resurrection was too bizarre and would definitely arouse suspicion.

He needs to come up with a reasonable explanation.

"Uh, I feel a little dizzy."

Luo Fei pretended to sway a few times, then "weakly" collapsed to the ground.

"Luo Fei!"

Zeng Jianli shouted loudly.

"Call an ambulance quickly! He needs further examination!"

Half an hour later, in the emergency room of Jiangcheng First People's Hospital, a group of doctors in white coats surrounded Luo Fei's bedside, their faces filled with disbelief.

"This is simply a medical miracle!"

The head of the neurology department, with his gray hair, said excitedly.

"The CT scan showed that his brain damage had completely healed, which is simply impossible!"

"The phenomenon of apparent death is indeed recorded in medical history."

The dean adjusted his glasses.

"But this is the first time I've seen a case like Officer Luo's, who has fully recovered from such a severe head injury."

Standing in the corner, Lei Wanting narrowed his eyes, looking at Luo Fei thoughtfully.

"Luo Fei's physique is indeed special."

He said in a low voice.

"This tenacious vitality is a good thing for our National Security Special Operations Team."

Luo Fei lay in bed, pretending to be weak as he underwent various examinations, but in his mind he was thinking about the mysterious "system" voice and the so-called "super self-healing ability".

He quietly moved his fingers to confirm that he felt better than ever before, and could even feel a strange power surging within him.

"Officer Luo, can you tell us what you remember?"

A doctor asked.

Luo Fei had already prepared his explanation.

"I only remember the moment of the car accident, and then everything went dark. When I woke up, I was at the memorial service. I have no recollection of what happened in between."

This explanation sounded reasonable, and the doctors nodded and took notes.

That very evening, the news of Luo Fei's miraculous recovery became a trending topic.

Someone filmed him climbing out of the coffin, and the video quickly went viral, garnering over 100 million views.

Although the national security authorities quickly deleted the video, the topic had already caused a huge uproar online.

"A miracle in the history of life!"

"A phenomenon that science cannot explain!"

"The heroes of the Jiangcheng police force have come back from the dead!"

Various headlines flooded the internet, and experts offered a wide range of explanations, but ultimately everyone accepted that it was a rare case of apparent death combined with an astonishing ability to recover.

In the ward, Chen Xuanran sat by Luo Fei's bedside, holding his hand tightly, as if he would disappear if she let go.

"I really can't believe it."

She said softly, her eyes still red and swollen.

"When I saw you lying there, not breathing, not having a heartbeat, I thought..."

Her voice choked.

Luo Fei gently squeezed her hand.

"I'm back, Xuanran. No matter what happened, I'm fine now."

"The doctor said you can be discharged after two more days of observation."

Chen Xuanran forced a smile.

"Director Meng said he's giving you two weeks off, so take a good rest."

Luo Fei nodded, but his gaze unconsciously drifted out the window.

He knew that what had happened to him was not as simple as the doctors had explained.

The mysterious "system," the sudden self-healing ability, and the unfamiliar power within the body all point to an even greater secret.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the ward door.

Lei Wanting's tall figure appeared at the door.

"Officer Chen, can I speak with Luo Fei alone?"

His voice brooked no refusal.

Chen Xuanran glanced at Luo Fei, and after receiving an affirmative look, he got up and left the ward.

Lei Wanting closed the door, walked to the bedside, and stared sharply into Luo Fei's eyes.

Luo Fei, do you know what happened to you?

Luo Fei's heart raced slightly, but he remained calm on the surface. (End of Chapter)
