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

Just then, Su Cai appeared out of nowhere again, approached Luo Fei, and asked with a grin.

"Brother, did you really come here specifically for tourism?"
What's so fun about this lousy place?

"Suchai! You have no manners! Go back to your room!"

Su Damao's eyes widened.

Su Cai shrank his neck but didn't move, his eyes still darting around Luo Fei.

Luo Fei had a sudden thought: this seemingly delinquent boy might be able to provide some useful information.

He waved his hand, indicating that Su Damao was alright, then looked at Su Cai and asked with a smile.

"Young man, judging from your tone, you seem to know that area across the river quite well?"

Upon hearing this, Su Cai immediately perked up, puffed out his chest, and said in a somewhat boastful tone.

"Of course I know it well! My uncle is in charge of that industrial park across the street! Nobody dares to stop me from coming and going!"

"Uncle?"

Luo Fei feigned surprise.

"That's right! Su Qidu!"

Su said it was perfectly reasonable.

"Although we're not closely related, we still share the same surname, Su, so we can still talk to each other during holidays!"

He leaned closer, lowered his voice, as if sharing a secret.

"Bro, let me tell you, things are really something across the street right now! There are dozens of industrial parks of all sizes, like Asia-Pacific City and Yulong Bay!"

"Dozens?"

Luo Fei was genuinely surprised this time; the scale far exceeded his expectations.

"you do not say!"

Seeing Luo Fei's surprise, Su Cai became even more smug and gestured the number "eight" with his hand.

"The number of Great Xia people imprisoned inside, conservatively estimated, is 80,000!"

He explained.

"Because the situation in the Great Xia was so bad before, the four major families in the north collapsed, and many people were transferred here."

And my cousin's K2 industrial park is still expanding! People from Daxia are in high demand now; a healthy "piglet" sold there is worth at least that much!

He held up three fingers.

Luo Fei cooperated by feigning a shocked expression.

"Three hundred thousand?!"

"Yup!"

Su Cai gave him a knowing look.

“Things are valued for their rarity! But don’t worry, brother,” he patted his chest, his tone unusually serious.

“I may be a scoundrel, but I won’t do something like this! My ancestors were from the Great Xia, we share the same blood! I would never betray my own fellow countrymen!”

As he spoke, Luo Fei quietly activated the mind-reading ability within [Super Perception], capturing Su Cai's thought fluctuations.

To his surprise, although the boy was full of empty talk and had the slickness of a hoodlum, when he said "we can't sell out our fellow villagers," his true feelings were genuine and without a trace of falsehood.

"This guy actually has pretty sound values."

Luo Fei thought to himself that his impression of Su Cai had changed considerably.

He also understood why Su Damao had told them not to wander around and not to reveal their identities as people from the Great Xia Dynasty.

In this chaotic border region, a lone Great Xia person might very well be sold off as a "walking 300,000."

"Suchai is right."

Luo Fei nodded and said to Su Damao.

"Uncle, thank you for reminding us. We will be more careful."

Seeing that Luo Fei agreed with him, Su Cai became even more enthusiastic and continued speaking.

"Brother, I think you made the right choice staying at my dad's guesthouse! If you stayed at those hotels run by locals, you might get kidnapped and sold off at night!"

He stared at Luo Fei's consistently calm expression, his eyes darting around, and suddenly lowered his voice, asking mysteriously.

"Brother, you guys don't seem like you're here for tourism. What are you really doing here? Tell me the truth, maybe I can help!"

As Luo Fei looked at Su Cai's curious and inquisitive eyes, pondering how to respond, the satellite phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

He took it out and saw that the screen displayed an encrypted number—from Lei Wanting.

"Wait a moment, I need to take this call."

Luo Fei gestured to Su Cai and Su Damao, then walked to a relatively quiet corner and pressed the answer button.

Lei Wanting's calm and clear voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Luo Fei, the situation has changed, or rather, it's good news. The Yunnan Provincial Police Department planted an important piece in Mae Sot three years ago, codenamed 'Snapdragon'."

He had been working undercover for a long time, primarily monitoring the activities of the Miaowadi scam park, and had also recently been secretly investigating the whereabouts of the missing children. He should have some crucial leads.

Luo Fei's spirits lifted; this was like a pillow for someone who was sleepy!

Lei Wanting continued.

"I have sent your contact information along with his to your encrypted channel. You should contact him immediately; his number is XXXXXXX."

He will do everything in his power to help you complete this mission. Remember, the code word is—"Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake."

Upon hearing this rather wicked code, Luo Fei's lips twitched slightly, but he still responded.

"clear."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Fei immediately dialed back the number he had received.

The phone rang a few times before being answered, and a clear, melodious, and slightly languid girl's voice came through.

"Hello? Who is it?"

Luo Fei was taken aback. Had he dialed the wrong number? Or was "Snapdragon" a female?
He composed himself and gave the coded message as agreed.

"Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake".

The girl on the other end of the phone seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then chuckled softly in response.

"This servant is Rong Momo."

"The code is correct!" Luo Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice.

"This is Luo Fei, and I have arrived in Mae Sot. My superiors have ordered me to meet you. I am currently at a guesthouse called 'Su Family Courtyard,' about five kilometers from the airport."

"The Su family courtyard? I know where that is."

The girl's voice returned to normal.

"Okay, add me on WeChat with this number, and I'll send you my location. We can talk in detail when we meet."

Soon, Luo Fei received a friend request on WeChat. After accepting it, the other party sent a cute smiley face emoji, followed by a location message with only five simple words in the message.

【Loyas Hair Salon】

After hanging up the phone, Luo Fei had already made up his mind. He walked back to the small living room and spoke to the Ghost Commando members who were resting.

"Everyone, get ready, we're going out for a bit."

"Brother, are you going out?"

Upon hearing this, Su Cai immediately came closer, his face showing concern and a hint of worry.

"I'm not trying to scare you, but things are really chaotic outside in Mae Sot! Don't easily trust any 'friends,' many of them are pimps or informants for the park! Unless it's something important, it's best not to wander around!"

He patted his chest.

"How about I drive you there? I know this area well, and with me around, most thugs won't dare to mess with you."

Luo Fei looked at this seemingly rascal-like but actually kind-hearted and somewhat passionate young man, smiled, and asked.

"Su Chai, do you know 'Loyas Hair Salon'?"

"Loyas Hair Salon?"

Su Cai's eyes lit up instantly, and his voice rose eight octaves.

"I know! I know it perfectly! I'm very familiar with the landlady there!"

He gave a knowing, ambiguous smile that only men would understand, and said with a wink.

"Brother, are you going to see Sister Loyas? You should have said so earlier!"
That's a rare beauty in Mae Sog! Come on, I'll take you there!

Without waiting for Luo Fei's reply, he excitedly ran out the door and jumped onto a slightly dilapidated but still drivable sightseeing electric vehicle parked in the yard.

Although Blood Rose, Tianji Sister, and the others were somewhat puzzled that Luo Fei already had "friends" upon arriving, they trusted him and didn't ask any further questions, silently following him into the car.

As the car wound its way through the narrow streets of Mae Sot district, Suchai skillfully drove while enthusiastically introducing the area.

"Brother, let me tell you, Sister Loyas is a wonderful person! I was her first customer when she first opened this hair salon in Maesogol three years ago!"
At the time, I thought she was just an ordinary migrant worker from Daxia, but I didn't expect her to be so skilled and easygoing. We became friends after a while.

He praised it highly.

"I'm not bragging, but Sister Loyas's looks and figure are absolutely top-notch in Mae Sot... no, in the entire Thai-Myanmar border area! Many big bosses who sneaked out of the park have tried to make a move on her, but none of them have succeeded! Hehe, only I can talk to her for a few minutes..."

Amidst Suchai's incessant praise, the sightseeing bus soon stopped in front of a shop facing the street.

Luo Fei looked up and saw that the shop was not large and the decoration was ordinary. The transparent glass door had a sign that read "Loyas Hair Salon" in Chinese and Thai.

Through the glass door, you can see three old-fashioned barber chairs inside. On one of the chairs sits a little boy who looks only seven or eight years old. A young woman dressed in a simple white T-shirt and tight jeans is facing away from the door, holding scissors and intently trimming the little boy's hair.

"We're here! This is it!"

Su Cai parked the car, pointed to the woman's back in the store, and said to Luo Fei in a low voice, his face still showing exaggerated admiration.

"You could tell he's a real gem just by looking at his back, right? I wasn't lying, bro!"

It must be admitted that Suchai has a good eye for talent.

Even just seeing her from behind, that woman was captivating enough.

The tight jeans perfectly outlined her long, straight legs and round, perky hips, while the simple T-shirt couldn't hide her full, proud bust and slender waist, creating a breathtaking S-curve.

Although he hasn't seen the face yet, Luo Fei already has high expectations for this inside player codenamed "Snapdragon" just from his physique and temperament.

"You all wait outside, I'll go in first."

Luo Fei gave a brief instruction to the members of the Ghost Commando Team, straightened his clothes, and pushed open the glass door of the hair salon before walking in.

The wind chimes on the door made a crisp "ding-a-ling" sound.

The woman who was getting her hair cut turned around when she heard the sound.

The moment Luo Fei saw her face clearly, he instantly understood why Su Cai was so lavish in his praise.

This is a highly recognizable and charming face.

Her skin was a healthy wheat color, her features were delicate and three-dimensional, with a hint of mixed-race charm, and her big eyes were like black gems immersed in spring water, lively and spirited, with an indescribable charm in every glance.

She looked young, around twenty-three or twenty-four, but her brows revealed a composure and competence beyond her years.

"Welcome, sir. Would you like a haircut or...?"

The woman gave a professional smile, her gaze fixed on Luo Fei, and her voice was gentle.

Following the coded message, Luo Fei smiled and spoke.

"Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake".

The woman's smile paused slightly, then blossomed into an even more genuine, slightly playful smile as she continued.

"This servant is Rong Momo."

The code is correct!

Luo Fei stepped forward and extended his hand.

"Luo Fei. He's from China. My superiors ordered me to meet you."

"Hello, Comrade Luo Fei."

The woman put down the scissors in her hand, extended her fair and slender hand, and gently grasped Luo Fei's hand. They touched and then parted, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

"I'm a little busy here. Why don't you sit down for a bit? It'll be ready soon."

Her voice was clear and melodious, with a comfortable and approachable quality.

Luo Fei nodded and sat down on a small sofa near the entrance for customers to wait, his gaze subtly surveying the small hair salon. It was very clean, the tools were neatly arranged, and some simple hairstyle pictures hung on the wall.

"Has the proprietress's shop been open for quite a while?"

Luo Fei casually started a conversation.

"Yes, it's been about three years."

The woman answered with a touch of emotion as she skillfully trimmed the last few strands of the little boy's hair.

Time flies.

"You don't look like a local. What made you think of opening a shop in a place like this?"

Luo Fei continued to ask questions, wanting to learn more about this inside man.

The woman's hand movements paused almost imperceptibly for half a second, then resumed their smooth flow.

She sighed softly, a hint of sadness in her voice.

"To find my sister."

She turned her head and glanced at Luo Fei, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

“Four years ago, my sister was lured into a scam group in Myanmar under the guise of a high-paying job, and then she disappeared completely. My family and I searched for her for more than half a year, and finally got news from a boy who had managed to escape back from Myanmar, saying that he had seen my sister in Myawai.”

“At that time, I had just started working. After hearing the news, I took the initiative to apply to my superiors and was transferred to Mae Sot.”

Her tone was calm, yet it conveyed a firm strength.

"Because my mother used to be a hairdresser, and I learned some skills from her when I was young, I opened this hair salon."

While searching for his sister's whereabouts, he also hoped for a chance to rescue her from that hellhole...

After the little boy finished his haircut, he obediently jumped off the chair, smiled shyly at the woman called "Xiaolong," and then ran out of the hair salon without mentioning paying.

The woman watched the boy run away, a gentle smile on her face, and explained to Luo Fei.

“This child comes from a poor family. His mother ran away, and his father works as a thug in the industrial park. They rely on the neighbors for help. I'm cutting his hair as a way to practice my skills.” (End of Chapter)
