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

Luo Fei immediately answered the phone, and after listening to only a few sentences, his expression instantly turned extremely serious! He stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice to the person on the other end of the line, "Okay! I understand! I'll be right back!"

After hanging up the phone, Luo Fei said to the Chen family with an apologetic and anxious expression, "Uncle, Aunt, Sister, Brother-in-law, I'm so sorry! There's been a sudden emergency at my workplace! The situation is very serious, and I have to rush back to deal with it immediately! I can't have dinner with you all! I'm so sorry!"

After saying that, he didn't even have time to wait for everyone's reaction before he hurriedly grabbed his coat, rushed out of the house, and quickly disappeared into the stairwell.

Watching Luo Fei's hurried departure, Chen's father was still somewhat bewildered. He subconsciously sighed, "Oh dear... this kid... he's really dedicated to his work... he just left like that..." Before he could finish speaking, his phone chimed with a notification of a money transfer.

Mr. Chen subconsciously looked down at his phone screen, ready to see how many zeros were in that anticipated "integer"...

However, when he saw the payment information displayed on the screen, the smile on his face froze instantly, and his eyes widened as if he had seen something unbelievable!
"This...this..." He opened his mouth wide, his fingers trembling as he pointed at the phone screen, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Chen's mother, who was standing nearby, noticed something was wrong and snatched the phone away, muttering, "What's wrong? Are you scared out of your wits by the amount?" When she saw the number on the screen, she froze, stunned on the spot!
The payment notification on my phone clearly displayed a line of text:

Luo Fei transferred RMB 8,000.00 to you via QR code.

Chen Hao leaned closer and saw the clearly visible "8,000.00 yuan" on her father's phone screen. Her eyes widened instantly, and she exclaimed in disbelief.

“Eight…eight thousand?! Not six hundred thousand?! Dad! You didn’t see it wrong, did you?! It’s eight thousand yuan?!” She snatched the phone and checked it several times before finally accepting the fact, her face filled with shock and disbelief.

Chen's mother also stood to the side, stunned for a few seconds, then subconsciously murmured, "This...could this be a deposit? There's more to come..."

Looking at her parents' and sister's reactions, Chen Xuanran felt both annoyed and amused. She deliberately blinked and asked innocently, "Eight thousand yuan... isn't that a whole number? Eight thousand, there's no decimal point."

"Uh..." Mr. and Mrs. Chen were speechless, choked by their daughter's words. They opened their mouths, but couldn't utter a word for a long time. Yes, eight thousand was indeed a round number... but it was far from the "round number" they had expected!
Chen Ma's expression changed several times, as if she wanted to get angry, but for some reason, the anger in her heart just wouldn't rise. Instead, she had a feeling that... well... it wasn't unacceptable after all.
She shook her head, trying to suppress the strange feeling, cleared her throat, and attempted to regain some of her elder's authority: "Ahem... well... Xiao Fei is quite shrewd, isn't he? But... it's alright... it's just a formality anyway... he earns 200,000 a month, he definitely won't let our Xiao Ran suffer in the future... life... should be fine..."

As she spoke, she somehow convinced herself, and her tone softened.

Chen Hao was still somewhat unwilling to accept it; she felt that her family had been "outsmarted" by Luo Fei. She pouted and said to Chen Xuanran with a hint of worry, "Xuanran, Luo Fei is so shrewd, will you be able to control him in the future? Don't let him bully you..."

At this moment, Mr. Chen waved his hand and said in an unusually calm tone: "Oh, what's there to worry about? For a couple, living a good life together is more important than anything else. I think Xiaofei is a good kid, capable, and good to Xuanran, that's enough. Money is just an external thing."

Chen Xuanran quietly observed her family's reactions, secretly surprised. She noticed that after Luo Fei deleted the memory of their heated argument the day before, although everyone was somewhat surprised by the amount of the bride price, their attitudes were much more peaceful.

Perhaps because they had already vented their pent-up frustrations through yesterday's argument, the current confrontation wasn't as sharp. Moreover, Luo Fei only gave eight thousand yuan as a bride price, which indirectly reduced the psychological pressure on his brother-in-law Zhang Yong, making him seem less "incompetent."

This result, though somewhat unexpected, seems...not bad?

Over the next few days, Luo Fei and Chen Xuanran began to prepare for the wedding with great enthusiasm, and even made an appointment to go pick out a wedding dress on the weekend.

However, plans don't always go as expected. Just as they were envisioning their future wedding, Luo Fei received a encrypted phone call from Lei Wanting, the highest-ranking official in the National Security Bureau, ordering him to immediately drop everything and rush to Kyoto as quickly as possible!

Luo Fei dared not delay and immediately took the next available flight to Kyoto, arriving at the headquarters of the National Security Department as soon as possible.

In a heavily guarded conference room, Lei Wanting and Deputy Minister Zhou Wenqi had been waiting for a long time.

"Greetings, Commander!" Luo Fei stood at attention and saluted.

Lei Wanting waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down: "Alright, stop being so polite. I know you recently destroyed the Blueberry Organization's hideout, which is a great achievement. The Special Case Team's commendation order will be issued soon."

Luo Fei was about to say a few words of modesty and say that the credit belonged to everyone, but Lei Wanting interrupted him directly: "We'll talk about those things later. The reason I urgently summoned you here is that I have a more important task for you."

Luo Fei's expression hardened: "Please give your instructions, Commander!"

Lei Wanting asked with a serious expression, "You know about the World Special Police Challenge, right?"

Luo Fei nodded: "I know. This is the most influential and authoritative special police skills competition in the world. It is held every year, and countries send their top special police teams to participate."

Zhou Wenqi added from the side, "Our Great Xia achieved excellent results in the first two international competitions—the Andrew International Special Forces Competition and the Sharp Blade International Sniper Shooting Competition—and even won the championship. But because our results were too good, the Andrew Competition later changed its rules, effectively banning us from participating."

He then changed the subject, his tone becoming serious: "However, at last year's World Special Police Challenge held in Dubai, the three teams we sent—the Hong Kong Island Flying Tigers, the Shanghai Special Police Team, and the Jiangxi Special Police Team—did very poorly, ranking only 25th, 38th, and 52nd respectively. This result... even drew ridicule and skepticism from some netizens in China."

Lei Wanting continued, his voice deep and powerful: "This year, the organizers of the event have once again extended an 'invitation' to us. But this invitation is more out of a desire to see us make a fool of ourselves! Especially the special police teams from the United States and Japan, who openly insulted and mocked our team members on the field last year!"

This year, Japan has declared they will send their strongest team, vowing to utterly defeat us on the field and avenge their previous defeat! Therefore, this year's competition is not only about participation, but also about winning! Especially, we must defeat the United States and Japan! This concerns the honor and dignity of our nation!

Luo Fei frowned as he listened, his fists clenching involuntarily.

Lei Wanting looked at Luo Fei, his gaze sharp: "After evaluation, three veteran members of the original participating Ganjiang Special Police Team are no longer suitable for this high-intensity international competition due to age and physical condition. After organizational deliberation, it has been decided that you, Luo Fei, will personally lead the team! You will be added to the Ganjiang Special Police Team as a core member and tactical advisor! Together with the other two participating teams, you will travel to the Eastern Theater Command for a month-long intensive closed-door training camp! We must ensure the team's overall strength is raised to its highest level before the competition! Do you have the confidence to complete the mission?!"

Luo Fei stood up abruptly, straightened his back, gave a crisp military salute, and said in a strong, clear voice, "I guarantee to complete the mission! Please rest assured, sir! If I fail to surpass the US and Japanese special police teams on the field, I, Luo Fei, am willing to accept any severe punishment!"

"Good! That's exactly what I wanted to hear!" Lei Wanting nodded in satisfaction. "Without further ado, go back and prepare immediately. You'll be heading to the war zone to report for duty tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Leaving the headquarters of the National Security Bureau, on the plane back to Jiangcheng, Luo Fei looked out at the churning sea of ​​clouds, his feelings a mix of emotions. It seemed the wedding preparations and sweet moments he had planned would have to be put on hold for the time being.

A month of grueling training, plus the competition time, would take at least two months in total. He could only helplessly send Chen Xuanran a message, briefly explaining the situation.

Upon returning to Jiangcheng, Luo Fei immediately sought out Chen Xuanran and explained in detail the urgency and importance of the mission.

Although Chen Xuanran was somewhat disappointed by the wedding postponement, she was understanding and expressed her support without hesitation: "It's okay! The competition is important! Winning glory for the country is the most important thing! I'll wait for you to come back! You can focus on training, don't worry about things at home!"

Luo Fei hugged her, feeling touched.

Subsequently, Luo Fei immediately convened a meeting of all members of the special case team to convey the instructions and tasks from his superiors.

When they heard that there were three vacancies in the Ganjiang Special Police Team and that Luo Fei would personally lead the team, Chen Yifan and Wu Peixiong became excited!
"Director Luo! Take me with you!" Chen Yifan was the first to stand up and volunteer, his eyes burning with enthusiasm. "I've been wanting to go head-to-head with those elite foreign special police officers for a long time!"

"Me too! Director Luo!" Wu Peixiong excitedly waved his fist. "I'll use all my strength on the field to show those foreigners what I'm made of! I promise I won't let them down!"

The other group members also showed expressions of eagerness.

Looking at his spirited team members, Luo Fei smiled with satisfaction. With these capable members joining him, he was full of confidence for the challenges ahead!

"Director Luo! Take me there!"

Chen Yifan was the first to stand up, his eyes burning with passion and his tone firm, "I just won the national police shooting competition last year! My physical fitness and combat skills have never slacked off either, so I absolutely meet the selection criteria for the special police team! I've been wanting to test my skills against those elite special police officers from abroad for a long time!"

"Me too! Director Luo!"

Wu Peixiong excitedly pumped his fist, eagerly volunteering, "I was a sharpshooter at the police academy! I even won the 75kg championship in the Daxia Police Combat Competition! My strength and fighting skills are perfect for showing those foreigners on the field! I guarantee I won't let our National Security down!"

Looking at the two capable officers who had volunteered for the mission, Luo Fei felt both gratified and somewhat worried. He was gratified by their courage and ability, but worried because they had not yet experienced systematic training and real-world combat experience within a SWAT team.

But then he thought again that Chen Yifan's marksmanship and tactical skills, and Wu Peixiong's fighting ability and physical fitness were all top-notch. Moreover, both of them were young and highly malleable, and their overall strength was indeed sufficient to handle this mission.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Alright! Since you have the determination and the ability, I will take you with me! But,"

His tone became unusually serious, "You must remember, this competition represents not only our individual achievements, but also the honor and reputation of our entire Great Xia! Especially against the teams from the United States and Japan, we can only win, we cannot lose! We must go all out, understand?!"

"Understood! We guarantee to complete the mission!" Chen Yifan and Wu Peixiong shouted in unison, their faces filled with excitement and fighting spirit.

Zhou Xiaobei pushed up his glasses and asked with some concern, "Director Luo, now that you, Brother Chen, and Brother Xiong have all left, what are the plans for the rest of our special case team?"

Luo Fei had already considered this issue. He replied, "While I'm away, Bingyan will temporarily be in charge of the Special Case Team's daily work. You will stay in Jiangcheng and fully assist Director Jiang in handling the backlog of espionage cases and the subsequent investigation of leads. This is also a rare opportunity for independent training, and I hope you will make the most of it."

He paused, then added, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "If I come back and find that the case hasn't made any progress... you'll be punished!"

After he finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Yuan Bingyan and saw that her expression seemed to have changed. He immediately realized that his words might have reminded her of the punishment last time, so he quickly added, "Of course, the punishment will be shared by others, so Bingyan doesn't need to."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bingyan's expression softened slightly, and she nodded gently.

After arranging the follow-up work for the special case team, Luo Fei, along with Chen Yifan and Wu Peixiong, rushed to the destination of this training session—the Eastern Theater Command Headquarters in Nanjing.

It was the first time for all three of them to enter a real military base. Looking at the heavily armed sentries along the way, the neat and uniform barracks, and the training slogans coming from afar, they couldn't help but feel excited and curious.

After disembarking from the plane, military vehicles sent by the Eastern Theater Command were already waiting. They were greeted by a battalion commander surnamed Wang, who had dark skin, a lean build, and was clearly a veteran who had led troops for many years.

On the way to the camp, Battalion Commander Wang gave them a brief introduction: "Comrades, welcome to the Eastern Theater Command. The instructors in charge of your special police team's training this time are elites from the Snow Leopard Commando Unit, specially invited from Beijing. You should have heard of the Snow Leopard Commando Unit, right?"

That's one of the most elite special forces units in our Great Xia! They're formidable fighters who have won eight championships in the International Andrew Special Forces Competition! With them training you, you'll definitely be transformed this time! (End of Chapter)
