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

"Take your time learning. This money should be used for those who truly need help."

Subsequently, Luo Fei went to Kyoto and took over the important position of director of the 18th Bureau of the Ministry of State Security from Lei Wanting. His credentials also changed from the head of the Special Cases Group of the Ministry of State Security to the director of the Special Cases Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of State Security, and his salary also increased accordingly.

Lei Wanting patted him on the shoulder.

"Luo Fei, this position is not easy to hold. But I believe you can handle it."

After returning to Jiangcheng, Luo Fei kept his promise to everyone and took the members of the special case team to a legitimate foot massage parlor to relax.

However, everyone felt that this way of relaxing wasn't quite right. Wang Feifei muttered to herself.

"This is way too formal!"

Zhou Xiaobei echoed.

"Yeah, Captain Luo, what the brothers want is the kind you know."

Luo Fei understood that with Chen Xuanran around, his brothers would inevitably have some concerns. So he decided to find an opportunity to organize a get-together for members of the National Security and Criminal Investigation departments.

The next day, Luo Fei found Meng Haonan, informed him of his promotion, and proposed the idea of ​​organizing a social gathering.

Meng Haonan was surprised and jealous of Luo Fei's promotion.

"You've been promoted really fast! But the social gathering is no problem, the city bureau will take care of the venue and everything."

Luo Fei also mentioned Meng Shaojun's marriage, which Meng Haonan was very concerned about.

"Young Master has high standards, could you help keep an eye out for a suitable match?"

Three days later, the joint event between the Jiangcheng City Police Department and the Jiangcheng City State Security Bureau officially began. Luo Fei led members of the Special Case Team and other young men and women from the State Security Bureau to participate in the event.

The social gathering was a great success. Although Meng Shaojun was reluctant to participate in such an event, she attended under her father's urging. As a result, she and Su Muchen from the National Security Bureau fell in love at first sight. Both were art enthusiasts and got along very well.

"I never expected to meet a kindred spirit here," Meng Shaojun said with delight.

Su Muchen smiled.

"I was surprised too. What are your thoughts on my recent painting, 'Night Scene of Jiangcheng'?"

The two quickly became engrossed in their art discussion, completely forgetting that it was a social gathering.

Meanwhile, Chen Yifan also won Zeng Mengxue's favor as he had wished. The two chatted enthusiastically in a corner.

"I've always admired the work of your special task force," Zeng Mengxue said admiringly.

Chen Yifan scratched his head sheepishly.

"It's not actually that bad."

Wang Feifei and Zhou Xiaobei also found suitable partners based on their own circumstances. Wang Feifei got along very well with a quiet policewoman, while Zhou Xiaobei chatted amiably with a lively female employee of the National Security Bureau.

Luo Fei and Chen Xuanran stood aside, watching the harmonious scene.

"It seems the social gathering was a great success," Chen Xuanran said with a smile.

Luo Fei nodded.

"Yes, I've finally kept my promise to my brothers."

Chen Xuanran suddenly asked.

"And what about you? Aren't you going to find a dance partner?"

Luo Fei looked at her.

"You are all I need."

Chen Xuanran blushed and lightly punched him.

"Grumpy."

After the social gathering, several couples started dating. Meng Haonan was very satisfied with the progress of his daughter and Su Muchen, and made a special call to thank Luo Fei.

"Luo Fei, Shaojun and Su Muchen are getting along well, thank you!"

Luo Fei smiled.

"Director Meng, you're too kind. They just hit it off on their own."

With the special task force's work temporarily concluded, Luo Fei began to focus on the foundation's management. He and Chen Xuanran were busy every day reviewing charitable projects and allocating funds.

“This money must be used wisely,” Luo Fei told Chen Xuanran, “focusing on helping education and healthcare in impoverished areas.”

Chen Xuanran took careful notes.

"Understood. I will conduct thorough research to ensure that every penny is used effectively."

Despite his busy schedule, Luo Fei still organizes weekly gatherings for members of the special case team to keep up with everyone's situation.

Wang Feifei and Zhou Xiaobei both reported that their relationships were progressing smoothly, while Chen Yifan and Zeng Mengxue were inseparable.

"Captain Luo, thank you for organizing this social event," Chen Yifan said gratefully. "Otherwise, I might never have had the courage to pursue Meng Xue."

Luo Fei patted him on the shoulder.

"Be nice to others."

Yuan Bingyan stood in a corner of the social gathering. Although she was surrounded by many men trying to curry favor with her, she couldn't muster any interest. Watching Chen Yifan and Zeng Mengxue chatting happily, a sense of disappointment welled up inside her.

"Men are all the same," she murmured to herself, recalling her past attraction to Luo Fei and her subsequent disappointment because of his past.

After the social gathering, the members of the special case team were all immersed in their new romances and full of expectations for the future. But this leisurely period didn't last long, as Luo Fei received an urgent call from Lei Wanting.

"Come to Kyoto immediately! It's an important mission!" Lei Wanting's tone was serious.

Luo Fei immediately took a plane to the National Security Department. Pushing open the office door, he saw Lei Wanting having a serious conversation with someone from the Intelligence Section.

"Luo Fei, sit down," Lei Wanting gestured. "I have a difficult task for you."

He looked solemn.

"Although Great Xia has become one of the world's leading superpowers, and its GDP is about to become the world's number one, there are many hidden problems within the country. Other countries are deliberately causing trouble behind the scenes."

The head of the intelligence department added.

"According to our investigation, the Sakura Kingdom has sent no fewer than several thousand spies to Great Xia, infiltrating all walks of life. Many officials are colluding with these spies."

Lei Wanting continued.

"Western medicine has already completed the encirclement and suppression of traditional Chinese medicine in Great Xia, while Japan is developing Kampo medicine on a large scale and registering a large number of patents. What's even more frightening is that they are acquiring a large number of century-old Chinese medicine companies in Great Xia."

"Seventeen century-old pharmaceutical companies have already been acquired." The head of the intelligence department pulled up the data. "These acquisitions involve power and money transactions, espionage, and even the involvement of high-ranking local officials."

Lei Wanting handed a document to Luo Fei.

"Your mission is to investigate [China Pharmaceutical]. This century-old pharmaceutical company has also come under the acquisition scrutiny of Japan's 'Mitsui & Co.'. Find out whether there are any power-money transactions behind the acquisition, and whether there is any collusion between officials and spies."

He said meaningfully.

"The acquisition of the pharmaceutical company may only be the tip of the iceberg. Japan may have a more terrifying plan to split up, and I hope you can find out the truth."

Luo Fei took the document, his expression serious.

"Understood. I will launch an investigation immediately."

Upon returning to Jiangcheng, Luo Fei immediately convened a meeting with the members of the special case team.

"The leisurely days are over." Luo Fei got straight to the point. "We have a new mission, which concerns national security."

"Our destination is Gaoguan'an City in northern Shaanxi," Luo Fei said bluntly. "Our mission is to investigate [China Pharmaceutical] and all those associated with it, especially to find out if there are any power-for-money transactions between the company's executives and spies from Japan."

Wang Feifei was the first to slam her hand on the table and stand up.

"The Japanese are so despicable! How dare they try to steal our traditional Chinese medicine!"

Chen Yifan said indignantly.

"And those traitors, who would sell out their ancestors for a little money!"

Wu Peixiong clenched his fist.

"These traitors must be brought to justice!"

Luo Fei said seriously.

"We must uncover the truth, no matter how high-ranking the officials involved, we must investigate to the end. The ambitions of the Sakura Kingdom may have already succeeded to some extent, and now Great Xia is facing very serious problems. But this is the meaning of our National Security Bureau's existence—to protect the foundation of the nation and thwart the enemy's conspiracies!"

He named the operation "Operation Detoxification" and then led the entire special task force to the ancient capital of Chang'an.

To maintain secrecy, Luo Fei did not contact the local state security department. Instead, he rented a villa in the city as a temporary command center and five cars as transportation.

After settling in, Luo Fei convened his first meeting in Chang'an. Zhou Xiaobei first reported on the information he had found online.

"【Zhonghua Pharmaceutical】was founded in 1902 by Li Zhonghua, a veteran traditional Chinese medicine doctor from Chang'an. It was originally called Zhonghua Medical Hall and later developed into a large pharmaceutical company. It is now state-owned, but due to operational difficulties, the Chang'an Municipal Government is considering selling it."

He continued his report.

"The acquiring party is Mitsui & Co., Ltd., founded in 1876. It has many offices and joint ventures in Osaka, covering multiple industries." Luo Fei began assigning tasks.

"Feifei and Muchen, you are responsible for investigating the chairman and core leaders of China Pharmaceutical Group to see if they have any private power-money transactions with Mitsui."

Wang Feifei nodded.

"Understood! We will investigate their bank statements and social connections."

Su Muchen added.

"The focus should be on investigating whether they have recently received any large amounts of unexplained income."

Luo Fei continued making arrangements.

"Peixiong and Yifan, you are responsible for monitoring the person in charge of Mitsui's acquisition this time, and see if he has any private contact with pharmaceutical companies and local officials."

Wu Peixiong said.

“We will monitor his whereabouts 24 hours a day.”

Chen Yifan added.

"They also monitor his communications."

Finally, Luo Fei said.

“Xiao Bei, Bing Yan, and I, as overseas Chinese from Singapore, got involved in the acquisition and directly contacted senior executives of China Pharmaceutical Group.”

Yuan Bingyan was somewhat worried.

"Will this identity fool them?"

Zhou Xiaobei said confidently.

“I have prepared a complete set of fake identities, including the registration information and creditworthiness documents of the Singapore company.”

Luo Fei emphasized.

"This operation must be swift, accurate, and ruthless. The Sakura Kingdom may have already succeeded in other cities; we must stop their conspiracy in Chang'an."

The next day, the special task force members split up and took action.

Wang Feifei and Su Muchen, disguised as reporters, arrived at the headquarters of China Pharmaceutical Group. "We are reporters from Caijing Weekly and would like to interview the chairman," Wang Feifei said to the receptionist.

The receptionist responded politely.

"The chairman is very busy lately and it is inconvenient for him to be interviewed."

Su Muchen quietly slipped an envelope to the receptionist.

"Do us a favor, we just have a few questions."

The receptionist hesitated for a moment before accepting the envelope.

"I'll try to arrange it."

Meanwhile, Wu Peixiong and Chen Yifan were waiting outside the hotel where the Mitsui executive was staying.

"The target has been identified," Chen Yifan said in a low voice.

Wu Peixiong started the car.

"Follow him."

The car carrying the Mitsui executive drove towards the Chang'an Municipal Government. Wu Peixiong frowned.

"He went to see the officials."

At the same time, Luo Fei and his two companions arrived at China Pharmaceutical Group under the guise of Singaporean Chinese businessmen.

“We are representatives of the Lee Group in Singapore and are very interested in your company.” Luo Fei handed over his business card.

The deputy general manager of China Pharmaceutical Group received them.

"Welcome, welcome! We are seeking strategic investors."

Zhou Xiaobei asked casually.

"I heard that Mitsui & Co. is also in contact with your company?"

The deputy general manager's expression changed slightly.

"We have indeed been in contact, but nothing has been decided yet."

Yuan Bingyan probed.

"How much is Mitsui asking? We can offer a higher price."

The deputy general manager stammered.

"This needs to be decided by the board of directors."

After the meeting, the three returned to their car. Zhou Xiaobei immediately reported this.

"Director Luo, during the meeting just now, the vice president received a phone call and looked very flustered."

Luo Fei's eyes sharpened.

"Check the call logs."

That evening, the special task force members met at the villa to share their investigation findings.

Wang Feifei spoke first.

"The chairman of Chung Hwa Pharmaceutical recently bought a luxury car, and his daughter has gone to study in Japan. The source of the funds is suspicious."

Su Muchen added.

"Several executives recently bought houses in upscale residential areas, paying in full."

Wu Peixiong reports.

"The Mitsui representative met with the vice mayor and the director of the State Food and Drug Administration today."

Chen Yifan said.

"They talked for two hours at a high-end club, but the content is unclear."

Zhou Xiaobei reports.

"The call that the vice president answered came from a virtual number, and we can't trace its origin."

Luo Fei pondered for a moment.

"It seems there is indeed a problem. Starting tomorrow, we will focus our investigation on the relationship between these officials and Mitsui."

The next day, the investigation made a major breakthrough. Zhou Xiaobei hacked into the deputy mayor's secretary's computer and discovered a confidential document.

"Director Luo! Look at this!" Zhou Xiaobei pulled out a document. "This is the vice mayor's instruction, requiring the acceleration of the restructuring of Zhonghua Pharmaceutical, and specifically designating Mitsui & Co. as a priority partner!"

Luo Fei's eyes were sharp.

"This is clearly a violation of regulations. Investigate the relationship between the vice mayor and Mitsui."

Wang Feifei's side also made discoveries.

"The tuition fees for the daughter of the chairman of Chung Hwa Pharmaceutical in Japan were paid through an anonymous account. The remittance came from Mitsui & Co.!"

Yuan Bingyan discovered this while investigating the director of the State Drug Administration.

"The son of the director of the State Drug Administration works at the Otaka branch of Mitsui & Co., with an annual salary of one million!"

With the evidence becoming increasingly convincing, Luo Fei decided to close the net.

"Report to Director Lei immediately and apply for an arrest warrant!" Luo Fei ordered. "This time, we must wipe out these corrupt officials in one fell swoop!"

Operation Drug Eradication has entered its final stage. The special task force members know that this contest is related to national interests, and they absolutely cannot afford to fail.

Luo Fei instructed Zhou Xiaobei to create a fictitious company online called "Danone Group," whose main business was chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Yuan Bingyan, posing as a secretary, proactively contacted senior executives of China National Pharmaceutical Group, expressing Danone Group's acquisition intentions.

Zhu Jianguo, chairman of China Medicine, quickly replied, agreeing to meet with Luo Fei to discuss the matter in detail. As the acquiring party, Luo Fei took the initiative to invite Zhu Jianguo and factory director Zhou Li to meet at the famous high-end Chinese restaurant "Datang Yeyan" in Chang'an.

Luo Fei, Zhou Xiaobei, and Yuan Bingyan arrived at the restaurant ahead of time. The restaurant was luxuriously decorated and served high-end dishes, but after waiting for more than half an hour, the other party still hadn't shown up.

Zhou Xiaobei was getting impatient.

"Are they not coming?"

Luo Fei said calmly.

“They already made arrangements with Mitsui; their visit to see us is just a formality. Bingyan, go check the entrance.”

Yuan Bingyan encountered Zhu Jianguo and Zhou Li, who had just arrived, at the entrance and warmly welcomed them into the private room. (End of Chapter)
