Luo Fei watched Li Qihong being taken away without any change in expression.

He turned to Zhao Chuan and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Director Zhao, for making this trip in person."

Zhao Chuan's serious expression suddenly softened, revealing a rare smile.

"Old Lei specifically instructed me to come and support you in person."

He lowered his voice.

"You little rascal, you've been hiding this well, even from me for so long."

Luo Fei chuckled softly.

"Work required."

He paused.

"Please thank Mr. Lei for me. I will personally visit him after the case is closed."

Although their conversation was not loud, it was still clearly audible in the silent conference room.

Huang Yong's brow twitched. Old Master Lei? Could it be Lei Zhentian, the legendary figure in the National Security system?

"Team Leader Luo Luo."

Huang Yong stood up, trying to make his voice sound less dry.

"Regarding the handover of the case, our Qingyang branch will fully cooperate. Would you like us to send some personnel to join the special task force?"

Luo Fei turned to Zhao Chuan, who shrugged.

"You're the head of the special task force, so you're in charge."

"Thank you, Director Huang."

Luo Fei smiled and glanced at everyone in the conference room.

“I propose that Captain Wang Hong and forensic doctor Huang Xiao join the special case team, as they are most familiar with the case.”

Wang Hong looked up abruptly, unable to believe his ears.

Huang Xiao bit his lower lip hard, his cheeks flushed with complex emotions.

"of course can."

Huang Yong immediately agreed.

"Political Commissar Lu, please arrange the handover."

Luo Fei nodded, then walked to the projector and retrieved the case files again.

He was a completely different person now than he had been just a few minutes ago. Although he was still wearing that simple black suit, his every move exuded an unquestionable sense of authority.

"Captain Luo, everyone is here."

Huang Xiao pushed open the conference room door, holding a thick stack of documents in his hands.

She had styled her hair into a neat ponytail today, and her black uniform made her skin look exceptionally fair.

Luo Fei stood in front of the projector, his slender fingers adjusting the equipment.

He was wearing a full uniform today, which was unusual for him. His epaulets gleamed coldly under the lights, and he exuded an aura that was not to be trifled with.

"Okay, close the door."

Luo Fei said without looking up, his voice deep and powerful.

Huang Xiao was taken aback.

Where did Luo Fei, who usually joked around in the office and would often slump in his chair eating instant noodles, go? The serious and earnest man in front of her made her heart beat faster involuntarily.

The conference room is already full of people.

Wang Hongzheng was talking quietly with the survey team leader, while two capable officers transferred from the National Security Bureau sat in a corner, their eyes sharp as eagles.

Everyone could feel the difference in the atmosphere today.

"Snapped"

Luo Fei turned off the lights in the conference room, and the projector beam shone on the screen, displaying the words "1211 Intestine Dissection Case" in large, blood-red characters.

"Everyone, let's get straight to the point."

Luo Fei's voice was exceptionally clear in the darkness.

"From this moment forward, the Special Task Force is officially established, with only one objective: to solve this serial murder case."

He pressed the remote control, and photos of the Liu brothers appeared on the screen.

"Liu Shao Cong and Liu Shao Ming are the largest real estate developers in Qingyang District. On the surface, they do legitimate business, but everyone knows what kind of shady things they do behind the scenes."

Luo Fei's gaze swept over everyone present.

"I want you to keep a 24-hour watch on these two brothers. If you find any signs that they're packing their bags or transferring assets..."

He paused, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.

"Arrest them directly. The National Security Bureau doesn't need a reason to arrest people."

Wang Hong gasped and exchanged a surprised look with his colleague beside him.

They all knew Luo Fei had a powerful background, but they didn't expect him to be so assertive.

"Captain Luo."

Huang Xiao raised his hand and asked.

“We have a video of Xiaohua identifying Liu Shaocong as the murderer. Can’t this be used as direct evidence?”

Luo Fei shook his head.

“Zhang Xiaohua is dead. Whether she was coerced or misled in the video is impossible to verify. In court, the defense lawyer will tear it to shreds.”

He knocked on the table.

"We need stronger evidence."

Where to begin?

"A senior official from the National Security Bureau asked."

"Two directions."

Luo Fei held up two fingers.

"First, the evidence that Liu Shao Cong hired someone to commit murder; second, the Li Shang lead."

"Li Shang?"

Wang Hong frowned.

"Isn't he a henchman of the Liu family?"

"According to intelligence, Li Shang has recently fallen out with the Liu family."

Luo Fei's eyes gleamed.

"Wang Hong, take some men to keep an eye on him. I need to know who he meets every day, where he goes, and even how many rolls of toilet paper he uses."

"understand!"

Wang Hong straightened his back.

"Survey team".

Luo Fei turned to the other side.

"I need all of Heiwa's information, including his family background, bank statements, and call records. This kid has done dirty work for the Liu family more than once; there must be some clues."

The survey team leader nodded.

I will report back to you within three days.

Someone asked quietly from the corner.

"What about Qiao Aiguo? Should we still investigate the money he hid at home?"

Luo Fei's lips curled up slightly.

"No need to investigate, he'll confess on his own."

There was an uproar in the conference room.

Huang Xiao looked at Luo Fei with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he was so certain.

But Luo Fei had already closed the folder, indicating that the meeting was over.

"Huang Xiao, come with me to interrogate Qiao Aiguo."

After Luo Fei finished speaking, he strode out of the conference room.

Huang Xiao hurriedly packed up his documents and followed.

In the corridor, Luo Fei's back was as straight as a pine tree, and his uniform outlined his perfect proportions of broad shoulders and narrow waist.

Huang Xiao's heart beat even faster.

"No, no, no."

She said to herself.

"Captain Luo has a girlfriend; you can't be a mistress."

The interrogation room door was pushed open, and a chilly breeze rushed in.

Qiao Aiguo sat in the interrogation chair, handcuffed, his face sallow and his eyes sunken, but his gaze was unusually bright.

Seeing Luo Fei and Huang Xiao enter, he grinned, revealing his uneven, yellow teeth.

"Oh, Captain Luo has come in person?"

Qiao Aiguo's voice was hoarse and unpleasant.

"He also brought a pretty girl with him."

Huang Xiao frowned and slammed the notebook down on the table.

"Qiao Aiguo, watch your words."

Luo Fei said coldly and sat down opposite Qiao Aiguo.

Qiao Aiguo shrugged dismissively, his gaze roaming unabashedly over Huang Xiao.

"Little sister, how old are you? Do you have a boyfriend?"

Huang Xiao's face flushed instantly, and he subconsciously covered his chest with his hand.

Luo Fei's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Qiao Aiguo, you'd better cooperate with the investigation." Luo Fei tapped the table.

"Tell me honestly, how many people did the Liu brothers order you to kill?"

"Hahaha."

Qiao Aiguo laughed loudly.

"Captain Luo, I've already confessed everything. It's about that Zhang Xiaohua. Anyway, I have terminal cancer and won't live much longer. A death sentence would save me money on medical expenses."

He tilted his head and looked at Luo Fei defiantly.

"What, you want to add more punishment to my sentence?"

Huang Xiao couldn't help but slam his fist on the table.

"Qiao Aiguo! The protector behind the Liu family has been arrested. Don't be so arrogant!"

"is it?"

Qiao Aiguo licked his lips.

"We'll see."

Luo Fei narrowed his eyes.

This seasoned veteran clearly has something to rely on.

On a whim, he brought up the system interface that only he could see.

Current Sin Value Points: 1500

[To redeem the Mind Reading ability (one-time use), 1000 points are required.]

【Redeem? 】

Luo Fei chose "yes" without hesitation.

In an instant, Qiao Aiguo's heartfelt words flooded into Luo Fei's ears like a tidal wave.

"This little chick is really hot. Anyway, I'm going to die soon, so it would be great to have some fun before I die. Hehe, the Liu family promised to take care of my wife and children, so I'm not afraid of anything."

Luo Fei's pupils contracted sharply, and anger instantly engulfed his entire body.

He suddenly stood up, placed his hands on the table, and stared down at Qiao Aiguo.

Qiao Aiguo was startled by this sudden action, but quickly reverted to his roguish demeanor.

"What, Captain Luo, are you going to hit someone?"

Luo Fei suppressed his anger and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Qiao Aiguo, do you really think the Liu family will take care of your wife and children?"

Qiao Aiguo's expression changed slightly, but he quickly smiled again.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

Luo Fei sneered and continued to read his thoughts.

"How did he know it was impossible? Liu Shao Cong agreed himself."

"Liu Shao Cong promised you himself, right?"

Luo Fei suddenly said.

Qiao Aiguo was struck dumb, his face turning deathly pale instantly.

"you you."

Huang Xiao looked at Luo Fei in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned Liu Shao Cong.

Luo Fei slowly sat back down in his chair, his tone eerily calm.

"Qiao Aiguo, I'm giving you one last chance. Confess to all your crimes and identify the Liu brothers, or else..."

He deliberately dragged out his words, watching as cold sweat beaded on Qiao Aiguo's forehead.

"Otherwise what?"

Qiao Aiguo tried to remain calm, but his mind was in turmoil.

"How did he know? Did Liu Shao Cong betray me? That's impossible."

"otherwise."

Luo Fei gave a cold smile.

"Your wife and children will be in danger."

Qiao Aiguo suddenly stood up, his handcuffs rattling loudly.

"What do you mean?!"

Luo Fei said slowly and deliberately.

"Do you think the Liu family will keep their promises? They're capable of silencing even their own trusted confidants, let alone a nobody like you?"

Qiao Aiguo's mind was in complete turmoil.

"It's all over, it's all over. If anything happens to my wife and kids, that bastard Liu Shao Cong..."

Huang Xiao couldn't keep up with the pace at all, but he keenly sensed that Luo Fei seemed to have grasped some key information.

She glanced at Luo Fei and noticed that his profile was strong and his eyes were sharp as knives; he was so handsome that it was impossible to look away.

Luo Fei tapped his fingers lightly on the table in the interrogation room, his rhythm neither too fast nor too slow, yet it caused a fine layer of sweat to appear on Qiao Aiguo's forehead.

Despite the air conditioning being blasted in the interrogation room, Qiao Aiguo felt like he was sitting in a sauna, constantly wiping the sweat from his face with the back of his hand.

"Qiao Aiguo, don't be nervous."

Luo Fei grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth.

"We're just having a casual chat."

[Damn it, how does this kid know everything?] Qiao Aiguo's thoughts clearly reached Luo Fei's ears. [Could there be a mole in the police station? Impossible, only Liu Haotian and I know about this.]

Luo Fei was secretly delighted; this mind-reading technique was more effective than any interrogation method.

He pretended to casually flip through the documents on the table, but kept a close eye on Qiao Aiguo's expression.

"Captain Luo, shouldn't we..."

Huang Xiao whispered a reminder, but Luo Fei raised his hand to stop him.

"No rush, let Mr. Qiao think about it some more."

Luo Fei turned to Qiao Aiguo, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp.

"Twenty million in cash is no small sum. Liu Haotian is being so generous; the thing you did for him must have been quite something, right?"

Qiao Aiguo's pupils contracted sharply. [How does he even know Liu Haotian's name?!] He coughed, trying to appear calm.

"Officer, I really don't know what you're talking about. I'm just an ordinary accountant, how would I know anyone like Liu Haotian or Zhang Haotian?"

"Oh?"

Luo Fei leaned forward and placed his hands on the table, crossed.

"Then why did your bank account suddenly receive a transfer of 500,000 last month? The note was 'construction payment'?"

Qiao Aiguo's face turned deathly pale instantly, his lips trembled but he couldn't utter a word.

Luo Fei could clearly hear the panic in his heart.

[Oh no, they even found this out. Wait, that money clearly went through an overseas account.]

"Stop wasting your time coming up with excuses."

Luo Fei sneered.

"You think you can't be tracked just because you use an overseas account? The current anti-money laundering system is much more advanced than you think."

Huang Xiao, who was listening nearby, was dumbfounded and quietly wrote down the words "Check Qiao Aiguo's overseas accounts" in his notebook.

He had absolutely no idea how Luo Fei had suddenly acquired so much information.

Qiao Aiguo's hands began to tremble uncontrollably. He subconsciously reached into his pocket, seemingly looking for cigarettes, but found nothing. All his personal belongings had been taken away before he entered the interrogation room.

Want a cigarette?

Luo Fei took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, and tapped it lightly on the table.

Answer my question, and this pack of cigarettes is yours.

Qiao Aiguo's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, his eyes unconsciously following the cigarette.

[Damn, how does this kid even know I want to smoke?] He swallowed hard.

"I really don't know anything."

"do not know?"

Luo Fei suddenly raised his voice, startling Qiao Aiguo.

"Then tell me, why did you make a special trip back to your hometown the day before you turned yourself in? More than 300 kilometers, just to see your elderly mother?"

"me."

Qiao Aiguo stammered and couldn't speak a complete sentence.

Luo Fei could hear the struggle in his heart.

[Damn it, they even found this out. No, we absolutely can't admit it. The latrine is so well hidden, there's no way they could have found it.]

"Shit pit?"

Luo Fei suddenly spoke.

These two words exploded like a bomb in the interrogation room.

Qiao Aiguo suddenly jumped up from the chair, but fell back down heavily due to the handcuffs. His face turned from white to green, and then from green to purple.

"What? A cesspool?"

His voice was barely audible, almost as if it were being squeezed out from between his teeth.

Huang Xiao looked at Luo Fei with a blank expression.

"Captain Luo, what cesspool?"

Luo Fei didn't answer his partner's question, but stared intently at Qiao Aiguo.

"Wrapping them in oil paper and throwing them all into the latrine in our hometown is a good idea. It's discreet and won't smell. Who would bother rummaging through a dry toilet in the countryside?"

Qiao Aiguo slumped in his chair as if all his bones had been removed, his lips trembling even more violently. (End of Chapter)
