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

Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating several sleeping faces, creating an atmosphere of exceptional peace and tranquility.

Chen Weiguo's gaze swept across the entire dormitory like a searchlight. When his eyes landed on the lower bunk by the window, on that familiar face, his body paused almost imperceptibly.

That was his son, Chen Fan! Two years had passed since he last saw him. His son seemed to have lost some weight and gotten a bit darker. He was fast asleep, his chest rising and falling rhythmically with his snores.

A complex mix of emotions welled up in Chen Weiguo's heart, including anger at his son's lack of ambition, heartache, and the humiliation of being thoroughly slapped in the face.
His son was among them! At a time when he should have been training hard and redeeming himself, he was sleeping in like a greenhorn!

The impact of this scene was a hundred times stronger than Ren Hailong's verbal report!
Chen Weiguo's face could no longer be described as just ugly; it was a grimace of extreme suppressed anger.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his turbulent emotions, and shouted sternly at the Snow Leopard team members behind him.

"Get up, all of you!"

"Yes!"

Several Snow Leopard team members, like tigers and wolves among sheep, immediately stepped forward and began pushing and shouting without any politeness.

"Get up! Everyone get up!"

"The commander is on an inspection tour! Get up immediately!"

"Quick! Stand still!"

Like cold water poured into a pot of boiling oil, the dormitory instantly erupted in chaos!

"Huh? Who is it..."

"Damn... what time is it..."

"Stop making noise... I'm so sleepy..."

The team members were groggily awakened, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and staring blankly at the group of menacing officers and soldiers in front of them.

When they saw the general standing at the door, with three gold stars on his shoulder and a gloomy face, all their sleepiness vanished instantly!
"Oh my God!"

"Commander?!"

"Get up quickly!"

A chaotic commotion ensued, with the sounds of clothes rustling, bed boards creaking, and hurried footsteps all mixed together.

Chen Fan was also startled awake. He sat up and looked blankly at the door. When he saw his father's cold face, he froze, his face turned pale, and he subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze.

The team members hurriedly put on their training uniforms, not caring whether they were neat or not. They scrambled and crawled to stand in a row in the open space in the center of the dormitory, heads down, like prisoners awaiting trial, their hearts pounding and barely daring to breathe.

However, amidst this chaos and tension, on the innermost upper bunk, a figure remained covered by a blanket, snoring softer but clearly still fast asleep, completely out of place with his surroundings.

Chen Weiguo's gaze instantly sharpened like two swords, fixing on the only figure still daring to "stay in bed."

He raised his hand, pointed to the bed, and his voice was as cold as the Siberian wind.

"Who is that? Why aren't you getting up?!"

Li Bin, standing in the line, shuddered in fright and quickly answered.

"Reporting...reporting to the commander!"
That's...that's our Captain Luo!

"Captain Luo?"

Chen Weiguo's eyes sharpened.

Li Bin didn't dare to delay, so he quickly ran over and pushed Luo Fei on the bed forcefully, speaking urgently in a low voice.

"Brother Fei! Brother Fei! Wake up! The commander is here! The general is here!"

"Um...don't make a sound...what staff..."

Luo Fei mumbled incoherently, waved his hand impatiently, and pulled the blanket tighter around himself.

Li Bin was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat. He increased his strength and practically dragged Luo Fei out of bed.

"Brother Fei! It's Commander Chen! Commander Chen from the Eastern Theater Command has arrived!!"

"Commander Chen?"

Luo Fei seemed to have finally grasped the key words. He sat up sleepily, rubbed his eyes, and looked blankly at the door.

When his blurry vision focused and he clearly saw the general standing in the center of the crowd, with three gold stars on his shoulders and an imposing presence, he suddenly felt a jolt, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him from head to toe. All his sleepiness vanished instantly! His face turned deathly pale in an instant!
"Fuck me!"

He cursed under his breath and practically tumbled down from the upper bunk. In his panic, he staggered when he landed and almost fell.

He frantically tugged at his wrinkled vest and pajama bottoms, trying to make himself look neat, and then rushed to the front of the line as fast as he could.

With a snap, he stood at attention, straightened his back, and gave a perfectly standard but trembling military salute with all his might, his voice slightly distorted by nervousness.

"Greetings, Commander! This is Luo Fei, Captain of the Ganjiang Special Police Team, reporting for duty!"

Chen Weiguo's cold gaze swept over the captain, who looked far too young and was now in a sorry state, like a scalpel. He didn't return the greeting, but instead asked in a deep voice.

"Luo Fei? What's your position?"

Luo Fei's heart pounded. He swallowed hard, tried to calm himself down, and answered loudly.

"Reporting, sir! I am the current captain of the Ganjiang Special Police Team! And also... the head of the Special Cases Team of the Ministry of State Security! Last month... I was just... just appointed as the acting director of the Special Cases Bureau!"

"The head of the special task force? The director of the special case bureau?!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Weiguo's eyes flashed with extreme shock!
Ren Hailong, Qin Feipeng, and the others behind him were also shocked and looked at Luo Fei in disbelief.

National Security Special Case Unit! Special Case Bureau!

These high-ranking military officers are well aware of the significance of these two departments!
That place is a gathering place for true freaks and elites, with extremely high privileges!

This seemingly carefree young man, who leads the way in sleeping during training, is actually the director of the Special Cases Bureau?!

The stark contrast in their social status left Chen Weiguo momentarily speechless.

But as shocking as it may be, the reality before them could not be changed.

Chen Weiguo forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, his face still cold. He pointed to the training slogans that could be faintly heard from the playground outside the window, and then to the messy bed in the dormitory that had not yet been tidied. His tone was full of undisguised questioning and anger.

"Director Luo! What an impressive display of official power! I would like to ask you, outside, the Hong Kong Flying Tigers and the Shanghai Special Police are undergoing rigorous extreme training under the guidance of Instructor Snow Leopard!"

And you, the Ganjiang Special Police Team, as a team also here for special training and aiming to avenge your defeat, why are you all sleeping in your dormitories?! Please give me a reasonable explanation!

All eyes were on Luo Fei, and the atmosphere in the dormitory was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

Luo Fei took a deep breath; he knew the most crucial moment had arrived.

He forced himself to calm down and met Chen Weiguo's extremely imposing gaze. Although there was still cold sweat on his forehead, his eyes gradually became firm. He straightened his chest and his voice became much more stable.

"Reporting, sir!"
This is a unique training method I devised specifically for our Ganjiang Special Police Team! "A unique training method?"

Chen Weiguo seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and a cold, mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"sleep?
Is this your unique training method, Director Luo? I've never heard of such a thing! Are you going to tell me that you can dream of becoming an international champion?!

Faced with Chen Weiguo's mockery, Luo Fei did not back down, but instead offered further explanation.

"Commander! I believe that the fundamental reason why our three teams failed in international competitions last year was not because the players did not work hard enough, but because the traditional training methods that emphasize overexertion of physical strength are outdated and cannot adapt to the current high-intensity pace of international competitions!"

Inefficient training due to accumulated fatigue is no substitute for high-quality, sufficient rest! I guarantee that with my methods, our Ganjiang team will achieve unprecedented success this year!

"A guarantee? What guarantee do you have?!"

Chen Weiguo shouted sternly.

"Do you think international competitions are child's play? That good results are achieved by sleeping around?!"

"I pledge my life!"

Luo Fei suddenly looked up, his eyes burning, his voice resolute and clear, echoing throughout the entire dormitory!

"A pledge of military order?"

Chen Weiguo's pupils contracted slightly as he stared intently at Luo Fei.

Do you know what a pledge of military discipline means? What kind of pledge of military discipline do you want to make?

Without hesitation, Luo Fei held up three fingers in the air, looked firmly at Chen Weiguo, and said, word by word.

"I, Luo Fei, as the captain of the Ganjiang Special Police Team, hereby pledge my loyalty! In the International Special Police Challenge at the end of the year, I will lead the Ganjiang Special Police Team to the finals and win a top-three ranking! If I fail to achieve this goal, I am willing to accept military law!"

"Top three?!"

Chen Weiguo exclaimed in shock, and even Ren Hailong and the others behind him gasped in surprise!
This goal is simply outrageous! You have to understand, last year the Ganjiang team was only ranked 52nd in international competitions! From 52nd to the top three, there's an insurmountable gap!

This isn't confidence, it's madness!

Chen Weiguo stared intently at Luo Fei, as if trying to see if he was sleepwalking or talking nonsense.

"Luo Fei! Look carefully! I am Chen Weiguo, Commander of the Eastern Theater Command! Making a pledge before me is no joke! Are you sure you know what you're saying? Top three? Do you know what that means?!"

"I'm absolutely certain, sir!"

Luo Fei stood ramrod straight, like an unyielding spear, his eyes showing no wavering whatsoever, but rather a resolute determination to burn his bridges.

"If I, Luo Fei, cannot lead the Ganjiang Special Police Team to a top-three finish in the international competition, I am willing to offer my head before you and atone for my sins with my death!"

I will atone with my death!

Four words, like four heavy hammer blows, slammed into everyone's hearts! The dormitory was deathly silent; even breathing could be heard clearly.

All the Ganjiang team members stared in shock at their captain's retreating figure. Chen Fan, in particular, suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief and worry.

Chen Weiguo was also shocked by Luo Fei's ruthless and decisive approach, which involved risking his life without any hesitation.

The anger on his face gradually subsided, replaced by an extreme solemnity and scrutiny.

He remained silent, his gaze scanning Luo Fei again and again like the most sophisticated instrument, as if trying to find even the slightest bit of bluff or madness in his firm eyes and upright posture.

However, he did not find it.

What he saw was only an almost obsessive confidence and a do-or-die spirit.

After a long pause, Chen Weiguo slowly spoke, his voice low and serious, carrying a final warning.

"Luo Fei, this is a military order, written in black and white, with military and legal force! Once signed, there's no going back! Have you thought this through?!"

Luo Fei immediately stood at attention again, saluted, and spoke in a loud and clear voice.

"Reporting to the commander! I have thought it through very clearly! If I, Luo Fei, cannot win back the honor of a top-three finish for the Ganjiang Special Police Team and for Great Xia in the international competition, I will personally come before you and commit suicide to atone for my sins!"

Luo Fei's vow to "atone with his death" was like a thunderclap, echoing for a long time in the silent dormitory, making everyone's eardrums buzz and their hearts tremble.

Commander Chen Weiguo's facial muscles twitched slightly. He looked at Luo Fei deeply, with a complex expression that included shock, scrutiny, incomprehension, and a faint hint of expectation that even he himself was unwilling to admit.

He had spent half his life in the military and had seen countless ruthless and madmen, but Luo Fei was definitely the first person who dared to risk his life for a seemingly impossible goal at such a young age and high position!
After a long pause, Chen Weiguo said nothing, only letting out a soft, ambiguous snort from his nose. He then turned abruptly, carrying a lingering anger and deep suspicion, and strode away from the dormitory.

The heavy footsteps seemed to pound on everyone's hearts.

Ren Hailong, Qin Feipeng, and other Snow Leopard officers quickly followed, and the guards filed out as well. Inside the dormitory, only a group of shaken Ganjiang team members remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

The oppressive silence lasted for more than ten seconds.

"I... I didn't hear that right, did I? Fei-ge... he made a pledge? Top three? If he doesn't finish... he'll kill himself?"

One of the team members' voices trembled, and his face was pale.

"This is insane...absolutely insane! Last year we were ranked fifty-second! Top three?"
How many strong European and American teams would that take down?

How is this possible?!

"That's right! I heard that the Flying Tigers' internal goal this year is just to break into the top ten! Top three... this..."

"Brother Fei is driving himself to his death! With our strength, how could we possibly succeed!"

"It's over, it's really over... If Fei-ge..."

The team members discussed amongst themselves, their faces filled with panic and despair, all feeling that Luo Fei was courting death.

Wu Peixiong's honest face was scrunched up in a bitter expression as he sighed repeatedly.

"Sigh... I told you not to mess with high-ranking officials... Now I've really stirred up a hornet's nest..."

Chen Fan stood in the crowd, his expression shifting. He suddenly stomped his foot, pushed through the crowd, rushed to Luo Fei who had just lowered his salute, grabbed his arm, and spoke in a hurried and low voice.

"Brother Fei! Come out with me for a second!"

Without giving him a chance to speak, he pulled Luo Fei to a corner of the corridor outside the dormitory. After confirming that no one was around, he lowered his voice and said, both anxious and angry.

"Brother Fei! Do you know who that Commander Chen was just now?!"

Luo Fei saw Chen Fan's extremely anxious expression and knew exactly what was going on, but he pretended to be clueless.

"Who is it? Isn't it the commander of the Eastern Theater Command? He's a pretty high-ranking officer..."

"He's my dad!"

Chen Fan almost roared, his eyes turning red. (End of Chapter)
