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

He reached out and closed the suitcase, then picked it up and weighed it in his hand.

"It's quite heavy."

"Luo Fei! You..."

Liu Shao Cong suddenly stood up, but Li Shang pressed down on his shoulder.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Mr. Liu."

Luo Fei stood up.

"However, there is one thing that needs to be made clear: I have taken the money, but Liu Shao Cong should still be arrested."

After saying that, he picked up two suitcases and strode towards the elevator, leaving the three of them looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Hold!"

Liu Shao Cong kicked the chair over.

"Brother, this bastard is playing us!"

The smile on Liu Haotian's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a cold calm.

"Li Shang, did you take a picture?"

Li Shang took a miniature camera out of the inside pocket of his suit.

"The whole process was recorded, including footage of him taking the money."

"very good."

Liu Haotian straightened his cuffs.

"With evidence of bribery in hand, he can't cause any trouble."

At the same time, Luo Fei dialed a number inside the elevator.

"Director Lei, I received two boxes of money, five million."

There was a chuckle on the other end of the phone.

"You little rascal, you've made such a big fuss on your first day back?"

"Liu Haotian set up a trap, and there is a video recording."

Luo Fei watched as the elevator numbers continued to drop.

What should we do with the money?

"Take this and use it first; consider it your activity allowance before you return to the team."

Lei Wanting's voice turned serious.

"You must report to Kyoto before the end of the month; this is an order."

"clear."

After leaving the Twin Towers, Luo Fei hailed a taxi.

Instead of returning to the police station, he had the driver take him to an old residential area on the outskirts of the city.

"Officer Luo? It's so late."

The couple who opened the door were in their sixties, with tear stains on their faces.

Luo Fei opened one of the boxes and took out 2.5 million yuan, placing it on the table.

"This is the compensation, please accept it."

"This is too much."

The old man's hands trembled as he dared not touch the money.

"I will definitely give you an explanation regarding your daughter's matter."

Luo Fei bowed deeply and turned to leave, when he heard suppressed sobs and the dull thud of knees hitting the ground behind him.

The next morning, the atmosphere in the conference room of Jiangcheng Police Station was tense.

"Wang Hong! How long has this case dragged on?"

Deputy Director Lu Wei slammed his fist on the table.

"The higher-ups have ordered the case to be closed as soon as possible!"

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Wang Hong's forehead.

"Director Lu, are there a few more key pieces of evidence?"

"evidence?"

Lu Wei sneered.

"Liu Shao Cong has an alibi, and his DNA wasn't on the murder weapon. On what grounds are you detaining him?"

The conference room door was pushed open, and Luo Fei walked in carrying a black briefcase.

Everyone's eyes were on him.

"Luo Fei, you've come at the perfect time."

Wang Hong felt as if he had seen a savior.

What's your opinion on the case?

Luo Fei placed his briefcase on the table, unzipped it, revealing neatly arranged banknotes inside.

"This is the five million that Liu Haotian gave me last night."

Inside the conference room, the air conditioner whirred, but it couldn't dispel the tense atmosphere that hung in the air.

Luo Fei stood in front of the projector and lightly swiped his finger across the phone screen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to this recording."

The conversation was clearly heard coming from the phone's speaker.

"Captain Luo, this is a small token of my appreciation, five million in cash. Please accept it."

This is Liu Haotian's signature husky voice.

"What does Mr. Liu mean by this?"

In the recording, Luo Fei's voice carried a deliberate hesitation.

"Let's be friends. You know about my son's situation."

The recording stopped abruptly.

The conference room was completely silent. A dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on Luo Fei, some with shock, some with doubt, and most with disbelief.

Zhang Cheng from the Criminal Investigation Team Two was the first to break the silence.

"Captain Luo, is this...is this recording real?"

Luo Fei put his phone back in his pocket, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Three days ago, Liu Haotian personally delivered five million yuan in cash to my home, and it's still in my study."

"You accepted it?"

Deputy Director Wang Hong suddenly stood up from his seat, his face ashen.

"Luo Fei, do you know what this means?"

Luo Fei calmly took a document out of his briefcase and pushed it in front of Wang Hong.

"Director Wang, this is the record of the receipt of funds. I submitted a written explanation to the Discipline Inspection Commission that same day. Five million, not a penny less. Two and a half million of it has already been donated to the families of the victims of the serial murder case. The rest is waiting for you to send someone to collect it."

Wang Hong opened the document, his brows gradually relaxing.

"You planned this all along?"

"According to Article 389 of the Criminal Law, anyone who bribes a state functionary, where the amount is relatively large or there are other serious circumstances, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention."

Luo Fei surveyed the conference room, his voice steady and powerful.

"Liu Haotian's five million is enough for him to spend several years in prison."

Xiao Li from the technical department couldn't help but chime in.

"But Captain Luo, about you taking money..."

"Good question."

Luo Fei snapped his fingers.

"Article 385 of the Criminal Law clearly stipulates that bribery is committed when a state functionary takes advantage of his position to illegally accept property from others in exchange for providing benefits to them. I neither took advantage of my position nor promised to provide him with any benefits, so how can I be accused of bribery?"

A chorus of "Oh!"s of sudden realization filled the conference room.

Liu Qiang, the leader of the action group, suddenly stood up.

"Captain Luo, I'll take some men and bring Liu Haotian back right away!"

"Not urgent."

Luo Fei raised his hand, gesturing for him to sit down.

"Team Leader Liu, we still have some preparatory work to do before making the arrest."

He turned to the other side.

"Huang Xiao, investigate Liu Shao Cong's romantic history, focusing on whether he has a homosexual partner. I suspect his motive for violence against women may stem from a desire for revenge due to some form of sexual repression."

Huang Xiao quickly jotted down the key points.

"Understood, I'll contact the social media platform right away to retrieve the data."

"besides."

Luo Fei's gaze swept over his colleagues in the Criminal Investigation Department.

"Liu Haotian must have given Qiao Aiguo a sum of cash as payment for taking the blame. He won't keep this money in a bank; it's most likely hidden somewhere in his house. Take metal detectors and focus on checking the wall crevices and under the floor."

Wang Hong watched Luo Fei meticulously assign tasks, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Luo Fei, it seems you've already figured out the Liu family's methods."

Luo Fei smiled slightly but did not reply.

After everyone had received their tasks and left, he gently closed the conference room door.

"Director Wang, there's something I need to tell you privately."

Luo Fei lowered his voice.

"We have Liu Haotian's informants in our team."

Wang Hong's pupils contracted.

"you sure?"

"The Liu family always managed to get inside information on the previous cases immediately."

Luo Fei retrieved a call log from his phone.

"These are the deleted records recovered by the technical department. Someone sent encrypted messages on the night of the incident."

Wang Hong stared at the number on the screen, his expression growing increasingly grim.

"This number... belongs to Liu Qiang?"

"It may not have been Team Leader Liu himself, but it was definitely sent through his device."

Luo Fei put away his phone.

"I wanted to turn the tables and use this channel to send some 'special' information to the Liu family."

Wang Hong pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded. "What do you plan to do?"

"Arrest Liu Haotian first, then..."

Luo Fei's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost a whisper.

Outside the meeting room, several criminal police officers from the same team gathered in the tea room, discussing the matter animatedly.

"Captain Luo is amazing!"

Young detective Xiao Wang held his thermos cup, his eyes shining.

“Last time, he identified the mastermind’s hiding place just by looking at the surveillance footage of that fraud den.”

Old Detective Li took a sip of tea.

"Even more amazing is the series of robberies last month. Based solely on the vague descriptions of the witnesses, he drew a composite sketch that was nine-tenths similar to the real person."

Do you remember that branch?

"It's the policewoman, Xiao Zhang, who interjected."

"Everyone thought it was garbage, but Captain Luo insisted on testing it, and they actually found the killer's DNA!"

As the group was engrossed in their conversation, a commotion suddenly arose at the end of the corridor.

Liu Qiang led several criminal police officers in, escorting Liu Haotian inside.

The once imposing chairman of the Liu Group is now handcuffed, his suit is wrinkled, and he has an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Why are you arresting me?"

Liu Haotian struggled.

"I want to see my lawyer!"

Liu Qiang sneered.

"Mr. Liu, bribing a state official, isn't that a clear enough charge?"

Liu Haotian suddenly saw Luo Fei standing at the door of the interrogation room, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

"Luo Fei! You took my money, and now you're turning around and blaming me?"

Luo Fei slowly took out a USB flash drive.

"Mr. Liu, the entire process of you delivering the money, including every word you said, is recorded on this USB drive. By the way, the person you arranged to take the photos wasn't very skilled; the lens reflection is too obvious."

Liu Haotian's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Inside the interrogation room, the incandescent light made Liu Haotian's face appear deathly pale.

Luo Fei sat opposite him, his fingers lightly tapping the table.

"Liu Haotian, do you know why you're being arrested?"

Liu Haotian tried to remain calm.

"It's just five million, right? I admit defeat. But don't get cocky, I'll only get five years at most, and then..."

"Five years?"

Luo Fei chuckled softly.

"I'm afraid it's more than that."

He opened the folder.

"He evaded 23 million in taxes, organized prostitution, hired thugs to assault people, and committed illegal detention."

Liu Haotian suddenly looked up.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Luo Fei's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Your father, Liu Jianye, is currently being held in the basement of your suburban villa, is that right?"

These words struck Liu Haotian like a heavy hammer, making him tremble.

His hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

"How could you possibly know?"

“I know more.”

Luo Fei leaned forward, his voice extremely low.

"For example, was that 'accident' at the construction site three years ago really an accident?"

Large beads of sweat appeared on Liu Haotian's forehead, and his lips trembled but he couldn't utter a word.

The interrogation room was brightly lit and glaringly white. Liu Haotian sat on an iron chair, his fingers unconsciously tapping the table.

His gaze would occasionally drift toward the one-way glass, as if he could see the people outside through that special material.

"Mr. Liu, you should be familiar with the term 'hired killer,' right?"

Luo Fei pushed open the door and entered, holding a document in his hand. His voice, neither too loud nor too soft, struck Liu Haotian's heart.

Liu Haotian's fingers suddenly stopped, and his pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

He forced a smile.

"Captain Luo, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Luo Fei pulled out a chair and sat down, slowly flipping through the documents.

"Three days ago, two bodies were found in an abandoned factory in the east of the city. One was a man named David, and the other was a woman named Yan Shishi. Coincidentally, they both had intimate relationships with your son, Liu Shao Cong."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Liu Haotian's voice turned cold.

"Don't worry."

Luo Fei pulled a photo out of the folder and pushed it in front of Liu Haotian.

"This is David's autopsy report. He suffered severe abuse before his death, especially in his lower body."

The photo shows David's body in a gruesome state.

Liu Haotian glanced at it once and then turned his face away, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Luo Fei observed his reaction and continued.

"Even more coincidentally, we discovered that David and Yan Shishi both received calls from the same number before they disappeared. And this number..."

He paused deliberately.

"It was processed using the ID card of your company employee, Li Shang."

Liu Haotian suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

"Li Shang?"

"What, Mr. Liu doesn't know?"

Luo Fei feigned surprise.

"I thought you two were really close. After all..."

He lowered his voice.

"He knows quite a few of your secrets."

Outside the interrogation room, Wang Hong looked inside through the one-way glass and couldn't help but ask his colleague beside him a question.

"What tricks is Captain Luo playing? Li Shang is clearly one of ours."

My colleague gave a mysterious smile.

"A divisive tactic. Captain Luo wants to throw Liu Haotian into disarray."

Sure enough, Liu Haotian's expression had changed in the interrogation room.

He tried to appear calm, but the fine beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed him.

"Captain Luo, accusations without evidence are defamation."

"The evidence will come."

Luo Fei closed the document and said meaningfully.

"Just like Qiao Aiguo's money, it will be found sooner or later."

Liu Haotian's face stiffened.

Luo Fei stood up.

"That's all for today. Mr. Liu, you can go back and think carefully about who you can truly trust by your side."

He walked to the door, then turned back to add to the story.

"By the way, there's good news from the hospital: the second victim has woken up."

Liu Haotian suddenly stood up.

"what?"

"Don't get excited."

Luo Fei smiled.

"The doctor said she is still very weak and cannot be questioned for the time being. However..."

He deliberately dragged out the tone.

"Once she recovers, she should be able to recognize the person who hurt her."

After the door closed, Liu Haotian slammed his fist on the table, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

In the criminal investigation team office, Wang Hong caught up with Luo Fei.

"Captain Luo, has he really woken up at the hospital?"

Luo Fei shook his head.

"It's fake. I spread false information."

"Then why."

"fishing."

Luo Fei turned on his computer and pulled up a surveillance video.

“Liu Shao Cong is impulsive. If he hears that the victim may identify him, he will definitely take action.”

Wang Hong suddenly realized.

So you're trying to lure the snake out of its hole!

Luo Fei nodded, his gaze falling on Liu Shao Cong's information on the screen.

"According to the investigation, Liu Shao Cong, David, and Yan Shi Shi were in a love triangle. David was gay, but also maintained a relationship with Yan Shi Shi. After Liu Shao Cong discovered this, his love turned to hatred."

So those cases of disembowelment...

"It's a twisted form of revenge."

Luo Fei's voice was cold and stern.

“He vented his hatred for David and Yan Shishi on innocent girls.”

Wang Hong gasped. (End of Chapter)
