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

“On this bottle, we only detected the fingerprints of three people: Heiwa, Li Shang, and Liu Shaocong.”

Luo Fei's fingers tapped lightly on the table, each tap feeling like a blow to Liu Haotian's heart.

"Your brother Liu Haotian's fingerprints are not found, which means that if you submit this evidence, Liu Shao Cong, you can take the blame and protect your brother."

Liu Shao Cong suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with panic.

"Officer Luo, what do you mean by this?"

Luo Fei smirked and glanced back and forth between the two brothers.

"The meaning is simple: the person who hires the hitman could be Liu Haotian or Liu Shaocong. Now it depends on you two brothers, who is willing to sacrifice for the other?"

Liu Haotian suddenly remembered that Luo Fei had asked him about his relationship with his brother before, and at that time he had confidently said that there would be no conflict of interest between the brothers.

Looking back now, it was a complete trap!
"Luo Fei!"

Liu Haotian slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly, his face turning ashen.

"Are you fucking messing with us?"

Luo Fei leaned back in his chair without any panic.

"I'm just stating the facts. Li Shang is dead, and Heiwa can't prove who gave him the money. You two brothers are in the same boat now; either save one, or you both perish."

Huang Xiao, who was standing to the side, was completely confused and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Captain Luo, why should we give them advice?"

Luo Fei did not answer, but gave Huang Xiao a meaningful look.

That look made Liu Haotian's heart sink. This policeman was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

A deathly silence fell over the interrogation room.

Liu Haotian could hear his own heart pounding. He secretly glanced at his younger brother and found that Liu Shao Cong was also staring at him, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Shaocong".

Liu Haotian finally spoke, his voice dry and hoarse, like sandpaper scraping.

"I helped my father build the Wuzhou Group from scratch. Without me, the group would have fallen apart very quickly."

Liu Shao Cong's face turned pale instantly.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"I've always protected you since you were little."

Liu Haotian avoided his younger brother's gaze.

"Why don't you help your older brother this time?"

Liu Shao Cong suddenly stood up, the chair scraping against the floor with a screeching sound.

"You want me to take the blame?!"

"Didn't you cry and shout that you wanted to kill that adulterous couple?"

Liu Haotian suddenly raised his voice, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

"I didn't force you to do any of those things later!"

"I was just saying that!"

Liu Shao Cong slammed his fist on the table, his knuckles turning white.

"I didn't ask you to kill anyone! Why should I take the blame now that something's happened?"

Enraged by his brother's rebuttal, Liu Haotian grabbed Liu Shaocong by the collar.

"Liu Shao Cong! You've been a burden since you were a child! Do you know what Dad said to me before he died? He said that if it weren't for the fact that you're my younger brother, he would have kicked you out of the house long ago!"

These words acted as a fuse, instantly igniting Liu Shao Cong's long-suppressed anger.

He suddenly broke free from his brother's hand and slapped him across the face.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the interrogation room.

Liu Haotian was knocked to the side by the blow, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

He touched his burning cheek in disbelief, his eyes blazing with fury.

"You dare to hit me?"

Liu Haotian's voice was frighteningly low.

"From childhood to adulthood, when have I not been the one to clean up your messes? When you raped a female classmate at thirteen, I paid to settle it! When you were arrested for drug use at eighteen, I got you out of jail! And now you dare to hit me?"

Liu Shao Cong's eyes showed panic, but it was quickly replaced by anger.

"You were involved in all of those things! You were the one who first set your sights on the female classmate, and you were the one who introduced me to the drugs! Now you're putting all the blame on me?"

The brothers' argument grew increasingly heated, and they completely forgot where they were.

Luo Fei and Huang Xiao watched coldly, as if observing a wonderful performance.

"Liu Haotian! You're a fucking hypocrite!"

Liu Shao Cong roared hysterically.

"You put on a respectable facade, but you're dirtier than anyone else behind the scenes! Do you think I don't know how many female employees you've slept with? Some of them were even minors!"

This statement completely enraged Liu Haotian.

He roared and pounced on his brother like an enraged lion.

The two instantly began to wrestle, the sounds of fists colliding with flesh filling the air.

"Captain Luo, should we separate them?"

Huang Xiao asked nervously.

Luo Fei shook his head, his eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of his scheme succeeding.

"No rush, let them fight. Remember why I didn't handcuff them?"

Huang Xiao suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Luo Fei with admiration.

Luo Fei tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, the rhythm slow and heavy.

The interrogation room was brightly lit, casting a pale white light on Liu Shao Cong's slightly swollen face, the oil reflecting an unhealthy grayish-white hue.

"Can you say that again."

Luo Fei's voice was deep, and each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Liu Shao Cong shrank his neck, his eyes darting around.

"I said that David and Yan Shishi were both killed by people hired by Liu Haotian. And... and Li Shang too."

"blueberry?"

Luo Fei suddenly interrupted him, his brows furrowed.

"Yes, an organization called 'Blueberry'."

Liu Shao Cong swallowed.

“I don’t know exactly who did it, but Liu Haotian said that he spent three million to hire people from ‘Blueberry’ to deal with Li Shang.”

Luo Fei suddenly stood up, the chair scraping against the floor with a screeching sound.

He turned and walked to the one-way glass, his back to Liu Shao Cong, his shoulders taut.

The scent of perfume on Li Shang's corpse suddenly resurfaced in his memory, sweet yet chilling, like ripe berries mixed with a metallic aroma.

Female killer.

"Han Zixuan"

The name slipped uncontrollably from his lips, so softly it was almost inaudible.

Fifteen years ago, the girl who always loved wearing berry-colored lipstick had this scent.

"Captain Luo?"

A confused voice came from behind.

Luo Fei suppressed his surging emotions.

"Continue. Why did Liu Haotian kill them?"

“David knows too much, Yan Shishi. She threatened to expose some things about Liu Haotian. As for Li Shang…”

Liu Shao Cong's voice grew softer and softer.

"It seems to be related to a project that Li Shang is in charge of."

Meanwhile, in a high-end apartment on the other side of the city, Li Hao threw a stack of documents on the table and let out a sneer.

"These media outlets love to make unfounded accusations."

He said this to Yu Lu during the video call.

"Let them write whatever they want, it won't affect the stock price anyway."

Yu Lu frowned on the other side of the screen.

"But this time the trend is not right, someone is deliberately guiding public opinion. I checked several IPs that posted the articles, and they all pointed to the same proxy server."

Just as Li Hao was about to answer, his phone suddenly vibrated.

He glanced at it and saw it was a notification from Huang Tao about his live stream.

"That's all for now, I have a phone call coming in."

He hung up quickly and opened the live stream.

On the screen, Huang Tao is singing a ballad, and gift notifications are scrolling wildly in the comments section.

A user with the ID "Golden Knight" continuously created twenty spaceships, with special effects worth nearly a million dollars dominating the entire screen.

"Tonight's number one spot must go to Huang Tao!"

"Golden Knight" typed in the public chat.

"I'll fight anyone who tries to take it!"

Li Hao raised an eyebrow and casually recharged 500,000.

He didn't really care about being number one on the list; he was just curious about how much money the "Golden Knight" was willing to spend.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, He Lian'er was fixing her hair while looking at her phone screen.

The filter used in the live stream made her look pitiful, and her big, wet eyes and slightly parted pink lips attracted countless donations.

"Thank you for the gifts, brothers~" she said softly, her voice sweet enough to be cloying.

Suddenly, she felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were being watched by something dangerous.

He Lian'er turned around abruptly, and her phone fell to the ground with a thud.

Outside the window, a pair of golden eyes gleamed in the darkness.

The next second, the sound of shattering glass was accompanied by a beast-like growl, and a jet-black leopard burst through the window! "Ah!"

The scream was cut off in her throat; viewers in the live stream only saw the screen shake violently before going completely black.

"What's wrong with Lian'er?"

"What happened?"

The comment section instantly exploded.

At the police station three kilometers away from He Lian'er's apartment, Luo Fei was completely unaware of all this.

He was staring at Liu Shao Cong, trying to glean more clues from the other man's shifty eyes.

Where is Liu Haotian now?

"I don't know."

Cold sweat beaded on Liu Shaocong's forehead.

“He has rarely shown his face since Li Shang died. Maybe...maybe at ‘Cloud Top’? That’s the club he frequented.”

Luo Fei noted down the name and was about to continue questioning when the interrogation room door was pushed open.

Zhang Yu poked her head in.

"Captain Luo, the forensic team has made a discovery and needs you to come over."

In the forensic lab, Wang Bin was examining a corpse while wearing rubber gloves.

"The deceased had a rare toxin in his body that was exactly the same as the one in the David case three months ago."

He pointed to the microscope.

"This toxin can cause heart failure within twelve hours, but the initial symptoms are just like a common cold."

Luo Fei's heart skipped a beat.

Can you confirm the source?

"A type of poison dart frog from South America, which is very difficult to obtain in China."

Wang Bin pushed up his glasses.

"Unless there are special channels."

"Like 'blueberry'?"

Luo Fei muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, Ni Lehui stood in the hospital corridor and dialed Xiaoxiao's number for the third time.

After ringing three times, the call was disconnected.

She put away her phone with a wry smile, and almost bumped into Lin Yu who was walking by in a hurry as she turned around.

"Dr. Ni?"

Lin Yu helped her up.

"You look terrible, are you alright?"

Ni Lehui shook her head.

"It's just...some personal matters."

She looked at the medical record in Lin Yu's hand.

"How is Xuan Yue doing?"

"Too normal."

Lin Yu frowned.

“Everything is perfect, but it’s just too perfect. It doesn’t look like someone who has just been in a serious car accident.”

Ni Lehui seemed to be deep in thought.

Just then, her phone vibrated; it was a text message from an unknown number.

"Want to know why Xiaoxiao is avoiding you? Meet me at the old pier tonight at 8 PM. Don't tell anyone."

Ni Lehui's fingers trembled slightly.

When she looked up, she found Lin Yu looking at her with a strange expression.

"what happened?"

Lin Yu asked.

"nothing."

Ni Lehui forced a smile.

"It was just a group notification from the hospital."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Jinghong and Yunqi were standing by a secluded pool.

The pool was deep and dark, shimmering with an eerie five-colored light.

"right here."

Jinghong pointed to the faint, door-shaped phantom at the bottom of the pool.

"The six hours of searching were not in vain."

Yun Qi took off his coat.

"I'll go down and take a look."

"Be careful."

Jinghong grabbed him.

"These spatial nodes are very unstable."

Yun Qi nodded and plunged into the water.

Jinghong stood on the shore and suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation.

She turned around abruptly, but only saw a dark shadow flash by in the woods.

"Who?"

She shouted sharply, her hand already on the short sword at her waist.

There was no response, only the rustling of the wind through the leaves.

Luo Fei stood at the door of the detention cell, his fingertips lightly tapping the iron door, producing a crisp metallic sound.

A faint smile played on his lips, but his eyes were as cold as ice.

"Officer Luo, are you here to interrogate me again?"

Liu Shao Cong lazily stood up from the corner of the detention cell, a disdainful sneer on his face.

His designer shirt was wrinkled, but his innate arrogance remained undiminished.

The other burly men in the detention cell who had been arrested for soliciting prostitution immediately made way for him, fawningly calling him "Young Master Liu."

Luo Fei noticed that in just one day, Liu Shao Cong had already established his authority in this temporary little society.

"It's not an interrogation, I just came to see you."

Luo Fei's voice was eerily calm.

"After all, your brother is very anxious out there."

Liu Shao Cong chuckled and walked up to Luo Fei, the two separated only by an iron fence.

"What's the rush? Our legal team is no pushover. Hiring someone to commit murder? At most, they'll be out in a decade or so."

He leaned closer to the iron fence and lowered his voice.

"But you, Officer Luo, you're really good at this. You've got us brothers completely outmaneuvered."

Luo Fei narrowed his eyes slightly.

"If brotherhood can't withstand the test, who can be blamed?"

"Heh, wait until I get out."

Liu Shao Cong's eyes were filled with malice.

"I heard your wife is quite pretty?"

Luo Fei's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

He took a step back and turned to the other burly men in the detention cell.

"Gentlemen, what brings you here?"

It's just prostitution.

A burly man with a face full of scars scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Oh?"

Luo Fei's gaze swept across their faces one by one.

Do you know who this Young Master Liu is?

The burly men looked at each other, and one of them said ingratiatingly.

"The heir of the Wuzhou Group!"

Luo Fei shook his head slightly, his voice suddenly becoming deep and magnetic.

"No, he is the murderer who killed your loved ones."

In an instant, the air in the detention cell seemed to freeze.

Luo Fei's eyes gleamed strangely in the dim light, and there seemed to be swirling vortexes deep within his pupils.

"Think about it."

Luo Fei's voice penetrated everyone's ears like a spell.

"Your most beloved daughter, or your dearest sister, was killed by him."

Luo Fei pointed at Liu Shao Cong.

"Killed in the most brutal way."

Liu Shao Cong's expression changed drastically.

"Luo Fei! What the hell are you spouting!"

But it's too late.

The burly men's eyes began to look blank, then gradually replaced by anger.

Luo Fei continued speaking in that peculiar tone. (End of Chapter)
