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

“Xuanran,” Luo Fei looked up at her, his eyes filled with utmost seriousness, “marry me.”

Chen Xuanran's tears instantly burst forth, rolling down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string. She covered her mouth with her hand, too overwhelmed to speak, only nodding frantically.

Luo Fei stood up, put the ring on her finger, and then pulled her into his arms again, explaining in a low voice, "Actually... I had planned to propose to you in a specially decorated romantic place when we arrived at the Miao Village."

"I've secretly notified the brothers in the special task force, and some of your friends. They should have already arrived at the Miao village to help with the arrangements... But things didn't go as planned, and the proposal had to be done in this desolate wilderness..." His tone was tinged with apology and helplessness.

Chen Xuanran looked at the dazzling ring on her finger, feeling the warmth of Luo Fei's embrace, but her heart was filled with immense unease. She suddenly raised her head, tears welling in her eyes, but shook her head with unusual determination, gently pushed Luo Fei away, took off the ring, and placed it back in his hand.

"No... Luo Fei, I can't agree to that right now."

Chen Xuanran's voice was choked with emotion, yet incredibly clear, "You're going to save your first love, you're going to venture into a den of dragons and tigers... If you go and don't come back, what will I do? Won't I become a widow right after our engagement?"

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down: "I agree to let you go save her, I have to agree... because if I don't let you go, you will never have peace of mind for the rest of your life, and this matter will always be between us. But I want you to promise me that you must come back safe and sound! When you come back, I will put this ring back on."

Luo Fei looked at the ring that had been returned to his hand, then at Chen Xuanran, who was struggling to hold back tears yet remained incredibly stubborn and rational. His heart was filled with complex emotions of gratitude and guilt. He nodded solemnly, "Okay, I promise you. I will definitely come back safely."

His original plan was to have Chen Xuanran stay in the relatively safe ancient Miao village to wait, where his brothers from the special case team and the security forces that had been arranged in advance were located.

But Chen Xuanran immediately objected, her worry evident: "The Blueberry Organization isn't an ordinary criminal gang; it's the top assassin group in Great Xia! It's full of ruthless monsters! Even if you're incredibly skilled, you can't fight against so many people alone. It's too dangerous!"

To completely put Chen Xuanran at ease, and also to reveal part of his biggest secret to her, Luo Fei made a decision. He bent down and picked up a sharp shard of glass from the car window caused by the earlier shooting.

"Xuanran, watch closely." Luo Fei said, and without hesitation, he slashed his left arm with a shard of glass! The wound was deep, and blood gushed out instantly, flowing down his arm and dripping onto the ground at his feet.

"Ah! What are you doing!" Chen Xuanran screamed in fright, his face turning pale. He instinctively turned around and ran back to the car to get the first aid kit.

Luo Fei grabbed her arm, his gaze calm: "Don't rush, just watch."

Under Chen Xuanran's horrified and bewildered gaze, Luo Fei concentrated and quietly activated his super self-healing ability. The bleeding from the gruesome wound on his arm visibly slowed and then stopped.

The muscles and tissues at the edge of the wound began to twitch slightly, and the open wound gradually closed and healed... In just one or two minutes, the deep wound completely disappeared, leaving only some bloodstains that had not yet dried to prove that it had once existed!
Chen Xuanran stared dumbfounded at this illogical scene, frozen in place as if under a spell. She suddenly remembered the injuries Luo Fei had sustained before, which seemed to heal unusually quickly. So… so this was the truth!
"This...this..." She pointed at Luo Fei's undamaged arm, too shocked to utter a complete sentence.

Luo Fei gently wiped the blood from his arm and said calmly, "Now you understand, right? This is one of the reasons I have such confidence."

However, that wasn't enough. Luo Fei then pulled out his handgun from his pocket, skillfully disengaged the safety, and cocked the gun.

Then, something happened that made Chen Xuanran's heart almost stop beating—Luo Fei actually turned the gun around and pointed the cold muzzle at his right temple!
"Luo Fei! No!" Chen Xuanran was terrified and screamed as she lunged forward to stop him.

Luo Fei stopped her with a look, his voice unusually calm: "Trust me."

Just as Chen Xuanran was looking on in despair, Luo Fei pulled the trigger!
boom!
Deafening gunfire erupted once again in the valley!

Almost at the same instant the bullet left the barrel, Luo Fei's head shifted to the left by an almost imperceptible amount of force, with a magnitude and speed that no human could possibly achieve!

The scorching heat of the bullet grazed his temple, singeing a few strands of hair, before finally disappearing into the distant sky.

Luo Fei lowered his gun and stood unharmed in the same spot.

Chen Xuanran froze, her mind completely blank. She finally understood that Luo Fei's unscathed escape from the submachine gun fire in the abandoned factory wasn't just luck, but rather an incredible display of reaction speed and evasive ability that surpassed human limits!
After the initial shock, she felt a slight sense of relief. She finally realized that Luo Fei did indeed possess superpowers that ordinary people did not have.

Luo Fei put away his gun, gently pulled Chen Xuanran into his arms again, and whispered, "Now, can you feel a little more at ease? Be a good girl and wait for me in the Miao village. I promise you, I will definitely come back. After I come back, I will formally propose to you."

Chen Xuanran hugged him tightly, burying his face in his chest, his voice muffled but full of worry: "Even if you have these abilities, you absolutely cannot be careless! The people of Blueberry... are all real monsters, you must not underestimate them!"

"I know," Luo Fei solemnly promised. "I will be careful."

After calming Chen Xuan down, Luo Fei walked towards Li Xue, who had been standing silently watching everything from a short distance away. Li Xue drove up in a rugged Tank 600 SUV.

Luo Fei sat in the passenger seat, the car started, and headed towards the South China Sea Province. The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat somber.

Luo Fei broke the silence first: "Do you Blueberry people really believe you've successfully captured me?"

Li Xue stared intently at the road ahead and replied, "The BOSS's orders to bring back as many people as possible alive; he has other uses for them. I've already sent back the video footage I filmed of you being shot and falling to the ground, as well as the video of your shoulder being grazed by a bullet and bleeding. They don't suspect anything yet." As she spoke, she glanced worriedly at the spot on Luo Fei's shoulder where he had been grazed by a bullet: "Is that penetrating wound on your shoulder... really okay? Once we get to the island, we might face a rigorous inspection."

Luo Fei moved his shoulder, which was still throbbing slightly, but he said calmly, "It's just a minor injury. I have the ability to heal myself. By the time we reach the island where your base is located, the wound should be almost completely healed and won't leave any marks."

Upon hearing this, Li Xue's eyes flashed with surprise and disbelief, but seeing Luo Fei's confident expression, she chose to remain skeptical.

After a moment of silence, Li Xue spoke again, her tone becoming extremely serious: "Luo Fei, I must remind you again, you absolutely, absolutely cannot be careless! The Blueberry Organization became one of the top assassin groups in Great Xia not because of luck. There are recognized 'Top Ten Assassins' in the organization, and Zi Xuan and I... our strength can only barely rank tenth among them, almost at the bottom."

Luo Fei's expression turned serious: "The top ten assassins? Tell me about them."

Li Xue began to introduce them one by one, and with each one she mentioned, Luo Fei's heart sank a little further:
"The ninth one is called 'Tianji Sister'. A red-haired girl from Japan who used to make AVs. She is extremely skilled at seduction and getting close to her targets. Countless people have died in her bed. She has never failed a mission."

"The eighth-ranked one is codenamed 'Android 18.' She's a short-haired girl who loves Android 18 from Dragon Ball so much that she gave herself that codename and deliberately imitates the anime character's appearance. Her strength far surpasses mine and Zixuan's."

"Ranked seventh, codenamed 'Kid.' He's a fighting game fanatic, but his methods of killing are far more formidable than the characters he plays."

"The sixth one is called 'Blood Rose.' A middle-aged witch in her thirties, she is most skilled in hypnosis and mind control. Many people have died under her illusions without even knowing how they died."

"Ranked fifth, codenamed 'Azure Dragon.' His reaction speed is superhuman; it's said... it's said he can dodge bullets. His strength is probably... probably about the same as yours."

Hearing this, Luo Fei was truly shocked. Being able to dodge bullets meant that the opponent likely possessed a similar super-reflex ability!
He quickly followed up, "What about the top four?"

Li Xue took a deep breath and continued, "The fourth-ranked one is codenamed 'Po Jun'. He used to be the king of soldiers in Great Xia, but later, for some reason, he joined a foreign mercenary and terrorist organization. His marksmanship and close combat skills are abnormally strong. It is said that the fifth-ranked Qing Long could not last more than ten moves against him."

"The third-ranked one is an ordinary-looking old man, whom we all call 'Teacher Huang'. It is said that he was known as the 'King of Assassins' many years ago. He is now semi-retired, but even the BOSS has to respectfully call him 'Teacher' when he sees him."

"The second-ranked one is codenamed 'Nameless'. He is the number one wanted criminal of the Great Xia Police and is semi-retired, but no less than a hundred experts from all walks of life have died at his hands, and he is listed as one of the 'most dangerous people'."

“The number one ranked one…” Li Xue’s voice even carried a hint of fear, “codename ‘Frieza.’ It is said that he is nearly two meters tall, with immense strength, like a giant. Some people have personally witnessed him breaking a tree with a diameter of twenty centimeters with one punch! There are also rumors that he once knocked out the boxing champion Tyson in his prime with one punch! Moreover… he and number 18, who is ranked eighth, are in a relationship.”

Upon hearing this horrifying list, Luo Fei broke out in a cold sweat. He realized that he might have indeed been overconfident; the Blueberry Organization's resources and the assassins' abilities far exceeded his initial expectations.

Li Xue added one last sentence, her tone heavy: "And above these ten people... there is a real, all-powerful, elusive big boss—the Commander. He... is more powerful and terrifying than all of them combined."

The vehicle sped along the highway, but the atmosphere inside was oppressively suffocating. The road to rescuing Han Zixuan was destined to be fraught with unimaginable difficulties and dangers.

Hearing Li Xue's description of the mysterious "commander," Luo Fei's expression grew even more solemn. The leader of this organization was clearly more cautious and terrifying than he had imagined.

“Commander…” Luo Fei repeated the code name, “Is this just a respectful way you address him? We don’t have a single clue about his real name?”

Li Xue shook her head, a hint of instinctive fear in her eyes: "No. No one has ever known his real name. He rarely shows himself and is extremely mysterious. As far as I know, no more than three people in the entire Blueberry Organization have ever seen his true face."

Furthermore, no one knows what special abilities or methods he possesses… yet everyone who dared to defy his will has died without exception. I speculate that his strength is definitely above the top ten assassins, and may even far surpass them.”

She looked at Luo Fei again, her tone extremely serious: "Luo Fei, you should understand now that rescuing Zi Xuan from such a dangerous place is far more difficult than you imagine. It's not too late to regret it now."

Luo Fei's gaze was fixed on the scenery rushing past the car window, but his eyes remained unwavering, filled only with an unyielding determination: "No matter how dangerous or difficult, I must go. This is what I owe her, and it is what I must do."

After driving for more than ten hours almost non-stop, the vehicle finally arrived at a remote coastline in the South China Sea Province. Before them stretched an endless expanse of azure sea.

Li Xue parked the car at the end of a desolate cape and turned off the engine. "According to the organization's regulations, the exact coordinates of the base can only be obtained via satellite phone at the last minute to prevent leakage."

She explained, "That island is called 'Devil's Island,' and it can't be found on any map, including the most detailed official map of Great Xia. That's where Blueberry's headquarters are located, and it's the base for training assassins."

While Li Xue was getting out of the car to contact the island, she briefly explained the situation of Devil's Island to Luo Fei: "The organization searches for orphans from all over the world, or creates orphans through various means, and then brings them to the island. On the island, they not only undergo brutal assassin combat training, but also learn cultural knowledge, reading, writing, driving, and even humanities and history..."

The goal is to ensure that when they grow up, they can seamlessly integrate into Daxia society as ordinary people—perhaps as company employees, chefs, or delivery drivers… lurking in various industries, ready to transform into cold-blooded killers the moment they receive a mission.

Her voice carried a barely perceptible hint of sorrow: "Moreover, Blueberry has no way to leave. Once you join, you're a member for life. Anyone who tries to resist or escape suffers an extremely tragic fate. The organization profits over a billion dollars annually through murder, the vast majority of which goes to that mysterious commander." (End of Chapter)
