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

“Poor child… I knew you were a kind and good child, how could you be the ‘jinx’ those people talk about…”

She turned to Luo Fei and Chen Xuanran and explained.

"When Xiao Rui was twelve years old, her parents died in an accident. Her uncle's family was also poor, so they sent her to our orphanage."

During that time, the orphanage was struggling financially and almost had to close down. Fortunately... fortunately, it received assistance from a kind-hearted business owner, which helped it survive and allowed Xiao Rui and the other children to continue their schooling..."

Luo Fei's heart stirred, and he asked.

"Dean He, do you remember the information about that sponsor?"

Dean He tried to recall, and said somewhat uncertainly.

"It's been too long, I can't remember the exact name, but it was something like a corporation... Oh right! It was something like... the Reincarnation Corporation! Yes, that's the Reincarnation Corporation!"

The news that Gong Xiaorui was actually an orphan sponsored by the Samsara Group, as told to Dean He, was like a boulder thrown into calm water, stirring up a storm in their hearts.

"Reincarnation Group... Xie Junshan... Why did he specifically fund Gong Xiaorui?"

Chen Xuanran frowned, completely baffled.

"As Dean He also said, the orphanage and the Samsara Group had no prior connection."

Luo Fei leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed, but his mind was racing, reorganizing and piecing together all the clues.

The words of Xie Junshan's former secretary, Su Qiao, echoed in his ears—that arrogant and conceited Xie Junshan, who looked down on all living beings like ants, was only respectful and cautious in front of a young girl…

Gong Xiaorui, despite knowing about the existence of the Samsara Group, did not mention it at all when questioned by the police! She was the one who guided Guo Mengyun to investigate Hequan Manor, and that strange, prophetic dream was also the first one she dreamed of!

A terrifying thought slithered into Luo Fei's mind like a venomous snake—perhaps from the very beginning, they had been lured into a meticulously designed trap by this seemingly weak and innocent Gong Xiaorui!
They captured Xie Junshan, the "demon king" on the surface, but may have let go of the real mastermind hiding behind the scenes!

Luo Fei suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp, and he spoke to Chen Xuanran in a low voice.

"Things aren't that simple! We might have been fooled by Gong Xiaorui!"

"What do you mean?"

Chen Xuanran's heart skipped a beat.

"Remember what Su Qiao said? Xie Junshan was extremely respectful to a young girl. I suspect that girl isn't the so-called heiress of a reclusive family at all, but Gong Xiaorui herself!"

Luo Fei's voice carried a hint of coldness.

"And there's Wang Taozhen from five hundred years ago!"

"Wang Taozhen?"

"Correct!"

Luo Fei's thoughts became clearer and clearer.

Historical records show that Wang Taozhen had many disciples before her "ascension," among whom the one with whom she had the closest and most devout relationship was a man named Wang Shizhen!
Wang Taozhen once took Wang Shizhen to Junshan to cultivate. Wang Shizhen later wrote "The Biography of Master Tanyang" for her. Even after she "ascended to heaven", he built a "shrine to move her spirit tablet to Tanyang Temple and cut off contact with his family for this!

Wang Shizhen can be considered Wang Taozhen's most fervent follower and successor!

Chen Xuanran instantly understood Luo Fei's implication and gasped.

"You mean... Xie Junshan's name... Junshan... he might be the reincarnation of Wang Shizhen?! And Gong Xiaorui... she is the reincarnation of Wang Taozhen?!"

"Probably!"

Luo Fei nodded solemnly.

"I have a bolder speculation."

Five hundred years ago, Wang Taozhen's "ascension" may not have been successful at all!

She may have used some method unknown to us to achieve reincarnation! And Gong Xiaorui is her reincarnation in this life! Therefore, she may retain memories of her past life, or rather, some kind of obsession!

He continued his reasoning.

"A cultivator who has been reincarnated for five hundred years, after countless failed attempts, has arrived in the modern world with such advanced technology and information. She has discovered a 'shortcut'—the insidious and evil technique implemented by Xie Junshan! Using modern technology, finding thirteen extremely Yin people has become much easier!"

Luo Fei immediately contacted Dean He, who was still at the hospital, again through the communication equipment on the plane.

"Dean He, this is Luo Fei. There's another very important question. Please think carefully: during Gong Xiaorui's time at the orphanage, did she... ever go to the United States? Especially during her high school years?"

Although Dean He on the other end of the phone was puzzled, she tried hard to recall. After a while, she said uncertainly.

"The United States? It seems...it seems like that's true. I remember when she was in her second year of high school, around 2018, she mysteriously disappeared for almost a month! We and the police were extremely worried."

Later she came back on her own, saying she had gone on a trip with an online friend and had spent all of the 5,000 yuan poverty alleviation fund the school had given her... We criticized her severely at the time..."

2018 years!
Luo Fei and Chen Xuanran exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes! Xie Junshan sold his Silicon Valley company in 2018 and returned to China to establish the Reincarnation Group!
The timing was perfect once again!

"I understand……"

Luo Fei hung up the phone, his voice low and cold.

"It wasn't Xie Junshan who orchestrated everything! It was Gong Xiaorui! She went to the United States and found Xie Junshan, who was still in Silicon Valley at the time, was also a genius, and might also have memories and obsessions from his past life!"
She persuaded Xie Junshan, or rather, she "awakened" him, and the two of them returned to China together!

Chen Xuanran continued his analysis along this line of thought.

"So, after returning to China, it was Gong Xiaorui who directed things from behind the scenes, using the financial resources of the Samsara Group and Xie Junshan's execution ability to find the thirteen girls with extremely Yin destinies and cultivate the Demon Fairy Grass... Gong Xiaorui herself used the toxins of the Demon Fairy Grass and its possible hypnotic abilities to remotely control those girls and turn them into so-called 'human demons'!"

At this point, Chen Xuanran suddenly thought of a question.

"But Guo Mengyun was very young when her parents passed away, and Gong Xiaorui was also very young at the time. How did she know that Guo Mengyun was a woman of extreme yin, and how did she control such a young Guo Mengyun to 'kill'?"

Luo Fei pondered for a moment and then spoke.

Xie Junshan once said that his evil magic requires twelve demons plus one extremely Yin child with "five pillars of pure Yin" for the highest success rate. Perhaps, the requirements for extremely Yin children are different?
They don't need Ji Yinzi to bear the karmic burden of "human demon," they only need her soul itself.
So they may have identified Guo Mengyun as a "top-quality material" very early on through some means, but they did not manipulate her to commit murder like they did with other Xiaos. Instead, they secretly observed her and waited for the final moment to reap the rewards.

"All it takes is to find an extremely yin place, a yin month, a yin hour, and a yin moment, and absorb the soul of the Extreme Yin Child to achieve great immortality?"

"Yin month, Yin hour, Yin moment..."

Chen Xuanran unconsciously repeated the word. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her expression changed drastically, and she grabbed Luo Fei's arm, her voice trembling.

"Luo Fei! Today... today is the thirteenth day of the seventh lunar month!"

Luo Fei was taken aback at first, then his pupils suddenly contracted!

He realized it instantly!

He immediately raised his hand to check his watch—it was exactly nine o'clock at night!

"There are less than three hours left until the exact time of day this month is considered inauspicious!!"

Luo Fei's voice was filled with an unprecedented urgency!

If Gong Xiaorui is the real mastermind, and if her target has always been Guo Mengyun, this "ultimate spy," then now that Xie Junshan, the obvious pawn, has been removed, what will she do?
Would she be willing to give up this plan that she had been preparing for for years, even spanning five hundred years?
Absolutely not! She might very well... have the final ceremony ahead of schedule! Tonight at midnight!
We must go back immediately!

Luo Fei suddenly stood up from his seat, his tone resolute.

"Haizhu City is more than 1,000 kilometers away from Jiangcheng. We will get off the plane now and immediately transfer to the fastest flight back to Haizhu City!"

"I'll book the tickets right away!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Xuanran immediately took out his phone and began operating it.

The plane quickly made an emergency landing at the nearest alternate airport.

When Luo Fei summoned all members of the special case team and announced that they would turn around immediately and rush back to Haizhu City as quickly as possible, everyone was completely dumbfounded.

"Brother Fei, what happened? Wasn't the case already closed?"

Wu Peixiong asked, puzzled.

"Yeah, Xie Junshan has been arrested, and the girl has been rescued, so why would we go back?"

Wang Feifei also looked confused.

Luo Fei's gaze swept over the puzzled faces, and he spoke in a deep voice the earth-shattering truth.

"Because we arrested the wrong person! The real mastermind isn't Xie Junshan, it's that seemingly harmless person—Gong Xiaorui!"

"what?!"

"Gong Xiaorui?!"

"She's the mastermind?!"

……

These words struck like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the ears of every member of the special task force! Everyone was stunned, speechless, and could hardly believe their ears!

Gong Xiaorui, who was rescued along with Guo Mengyun and looked weak and pitiful, was actually the culprit behind all of this?!
However, looking at Luo Fei's extremely serious and urgent expression, no one doubted the authenticity of the news.

"There's no time for detailed explanations! Everyone, grab your luggage and come with me immediately! We must get back to Haizhu City Hospital before midnight tonight!"

Luo Fei gave the order without room for argument.

Without asking any further questions, the members of the special task force suppressed the turmoil in their hearts, grabbed their luggage, and followed Luo Fei and Chen Xuanran, rushing off the plane as fast as they could, crossing the jet bridge, and sprinting towards the airport ticketing and check-in area.

As he led the special task force sprinting toward the transfer point, he immediately contacted the Haizhu City Police Department via encrypted phone.

"This is Luo Fei from the National Security Bureau! Immediately send men to the First People's Hospital of the city to detain inpatient Gong Xiaorui! Repeat, detain Gong Xiaorui!"
She is extremely dangerous and may be the real culprit in the series of disappearances!

Luo Fei's voice was urgent and stern.

Although the Haizhu City Public Security Bureau leader on the other end of the phone was extremely puzzled by this sudden order—wasn't Gong Xiaorui a victim who had just been rescued? How could she suddenly become the real culprit?—he still immediately gave the order out of absolute trust in Luo Fei and the National Security Bureau's identities.

"Understood! Director Luo! We'll send someone over immediately!"

Several police cars, sirens blaring, sped toward the hospital.

However, almost at the same time, Luo Fei's phone rang. It was Guo Qian calling, her voice trembling with tears and extreme panic.

"Officer Luo! Something terrible has happened! Mengyun... Mengyun and Xiaorui are both missing! I just fell asleep while lying down, and when I woke up I found their hospital beds empty! I've searched the toilet and the hallway, but they're nowhere to be found!"

Where did they go?! Did something happen to them?!

Upon receiving Guo Qian's call, Luo Fei's last shred of hope vanished.

Gong Xiaorui did indeed take action! And she took away the crucial "material"—Guo Mengyun!

"Ms. Guo, please don't panic. Stay at the hospital; our people will be there soon!"

Luo Fei forced himself to remain calm and reassure Guo Qian, but the anxiety in his heart was like oil being poured on a raging fire.

He looked at the flight information displayed on the airport's big screen; the next flight to Haizhu City wouldn't take off for another half hour!
In just half an hour, too many unpredictable things can happen!
This half hour was the longest wait Luo Fei had ever experienced.

Every minute and every second felt like torture.

Finally, half an hour later, the plane soared into the sky.

During the more than one-hour flight, the atmosphere in the cabin was terrifyingly oppressive. Everyone pursed their lips, knowing that a fierce battle was about to begin.

At midnight, the plane finally landed at Haizhu Airport.

Luo Fei and his group rushed out almost at the exact moment the hatch opened.

Without pausing for a moment, they drove directly to the First People's Hospital of the city. Upon arrival, Luo Fei immediately retrieved the surveillance footage from the inpatient department.

The footage shows that around 11 p.m., Gong Xiaorui and Guo Mengyun walked out of the ward together.

Guo Mengyun's eyes seemed somewhat confused and submissive, as if she were being guided, while Gong Xiaorui's expression was calm, with even a faint, chilling smile on her lips.

The two walked out of the hospital gate side by side and disappeared into the night.

"They've gone back to Hequan Manor!"

Luo Fei said decisively.

"That place is extremely yin, and the underground Taoist temple is a ready-made altar! Gong Xiaorui is going to complete her final ritual there!"

"Attention, everyone! Destination: Crane Spring Manor! Quickly!"

At Luo Fei's command, the special case team's convoy sped off like arrows, once again heading towards the eerie neighborhood.

The car had just entered the gate of Hequan Villa and hadn't even gotten close to the villa area when suddenly...

"boom!!!!!!!"

A deafening explosion came from the direction of the villa area! Immediately followed by the thunderous crash of collapsing buildings! The ground seemed to tremble!
"not good!"

Luo Fei's expression changed drastically.

"accelerate!"

The convoy rushed to Xie Junshan's villa, and the sight before them made everyone gasp!
The villa, which was once in relatively good condition, is now a ruin! Bricks and rubble are piled up like mountains, and thick dust has not yet completely dissipated.

Most importantly, the entrance to the underground passage hidden behind the refrigerator has been completely buried under thick reinforced concrete!

"Gong Xiaorui blew up the passage!"

Wu Peixiong gritted his teeth and said. (End of Chapter)
