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

"Bang bang bang bang bang...!!"

In an instant, gunshots rang out in the passage like popping beans, flashes of light, and billowing smoke! Several pistols unleashed all their bullets in just a few seconds, weaving together a deadly barrage that almost covered the entire space in front of Luo Fei!

However, Luo Fei's figure seemed to stroll leisurely amidst the barrage of comments!
His movements were incredibly fast and incredibly precise! Every dodge was perfectly timed, narrowly escaping death at the last second! All the bullets missed! Some embedded themselves in the wall, some pierced the ceiling, and some struck the iron door of the opposite cell with a clanging sound, but not a single one touched Luo Fei's clothes!
The gunfire stopped abruptly.

Wang Qiang and the three policemen had all emptied their magazines. The corridor was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and was deathly silent.

The four of them stood rooted to the spot like clay sculptures, their eyes wide as they stared at Luo Fei, who was unharmed and whose breathing was perfectly normal, at the other end of the passage. Their faces were filled with extreme horror and disbelief.

Is this...is this even human?! Even superheroes in movies wouldn't dare act like this!
The next second, Luo Fei moved.

His figure vanished like a ghost, leaving only a faint afterimage in the air.

The young policeman only felt a blur before his eyes and a numbness in his wrist before the gun he was holding had vanished.

Before he could react, Luo Fei was already in front of him, holding his sidearm. Luo Fei smiled slightly at him, casually removed the magazine from the gun and tossed it aside, then shoved the empty gun back into his hand—the movements were so fast he couldn't even see them.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Fei's figure flashed again, and he was already in front of Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang was frantically and trembling as he tried to change the magazine when Luo Fei's calm face suddenly appeared before him. Terrified, he screamed, but before he could react, a sharp pain shot through his wrist, and his sidearm had been taken over.

Luo Fei held Wang Qiang's gun in one hand, casually removed the magazine, twirled the empty gun between his fingers, looked at Wang Qiang's face, which was contorted with extreme fear, and said something indifferently.

"you are too slow."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Fei's free left hand, fingers pointing like a knife, swiftly and lightly chopped at Wang Qiang's neck with a speed too fast for the naked eye to detect.

Wang Qiang rolled his eyes, and without even uttering a sound, his obese body slumped to the ground, unconscious.

All of this happened too fast. From Luo Fei's movement to seizing the gun, unloading the magazine, and stunning Wang Qiang, it only took two or three seconds in total.

By the time the other two police officers reacted, the station chief had already fallen to the ground, while Luo Fei was calmly looking at them, holding the station chief's empty gun.

"Don't move! Put down your gun!"

Although the two policemen were terrified, they instinctively raised their blank guns and aimed them at Luo Fei, shouting in a fierce but inwardly cowardly manner.

Luo Fei ignored them and turned to the young policeman who was completely stunned, holding an empty gun in a daze, and revealed his identity.

"Comrade, don't be nervous. I am Luo Fei, the director of the 18th Bureau of the Special Security Bureau of the State Security Department of Great Xia."

His voice was clear and steady, carrying an unquestionable authority.

"National...National Security? The...18th Bureau? The Director?"

The young policeman was completely stunned, his mind blank. He knew about the National Security Bureau, but what was this Special Security Bureau, Bureau 18, and a bureau chief? So young? This… was that even possible? He stared at Luo Fei in disbelief.

Luo Fei continued.

"Your director, Wang Qiang, is suspected of accepting bribes from the Xue family, a criminal gang, and of attempting to hire someone to harm me in the detention center. The evidence is conclusive. I now order you to arrest him immediately, handcuff him, and place him under strict guard."

He pointed to Wang Qiang, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

The young policeman was still incredulous and stammered.

"But...but...how do I know you're telling the truth? What...what proof do you have?"

Luo Fei seemed to have expected this, and said calmly.

"My identification documents and some belongings should still be stored in the temporary storage area of ​​your detention center. You can go and retrieve them now for verification. Alternatively, you can directly call the Ministry of State Security's publicly available verification hotline, provide my name and work unit, and request verification from higher authorities."

If convenient, you can also contact the main leaders of the Provincial Public Security Department or the Municipal Public Security Bureau; they should have already received the relevant notification.

The young policeman was skeptical, but looking at Luo Fei's calm and righteous demeanor, and recalling his incredible skills and the "feat" of attracting five bureau chiefs in one day, he couldn't help but believe him a little more.

He scrutinized Luo Fei's face closely, and suddenly felt that he looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. In a flash, he remembered! He exclaimed in surprise.

"You...you are Luo Fei?!"

"That...that guy who led our national team to victory in the World Special Police Challenge, breaking records in every individual event...the Chief Captain?! I've seen your interview and competition footage on TV! It's you! Yes, that's right!"

In that instant, all doubts vanished! World SWAT champion! National team captain!
With such a status and honor, coupled with his incredible skills, everything seemed to make sense! As for why someone so young was the director of the National Security Bureau, that probably involved higher-level secrets, beyond his comprehension. The young policeman blushed with excitement, immediately stood at attention, and saluted.

"Director Luo... I'm so sorry! I didn't recognize your greatness! I'll carry out the order immediately!"

Without further hesitation, he quickly took out handcuffs from his waist, stepped forward, cuffed the unconscious Wang Qiang's hands behind his back, and then dragged him to the wall. After doing this, he still couldn't hide his excitement and couldn't help but ask...

"Director Luo, you... how did you get here? And... and you were locked up here?"

This is probably the biggest question in the minds of all those in the know.

At this moment, more noisy footsteps and shouts came from the entrance of the passage. A large number of police officers and auxiliary police officers from the detention center who heard the gunshots and commotion rushed in. When they saw the scene in front of them—the director, Wang Qiang, was handcuffed to the ground unconscious, a strange young man was standing with a gun, and the young police officer was standing next to him—they were immediately shocked and raised their guns to point at Luo Fei, ordering him to put down his weapon.

"Don't move!"

"Put down your gun!"

"What's going on?!"

The atmosphere instantly became tense again.

The young policeman and the deputy director who had arrived with him quickly stepped forward to block Luo Fei. The young policeman shouted loudly.

"Don't shoot! Don't misunderstand!"
"This is Director Luo! He's a leader from the National Security Bureau! He's one of our own!" The deputy director also recognized Luo Fei's face. He was older and paid more attention to the news, and he immediately recognized Luo Fei as the nationally renowned special police hero.

Although he was incredibly shocked by the title "Director of the 18th Bureau of the State Security," given Luo Fei's formidable reputation and the extraordinary scene before him, he chose to believe him. The deputy director quickly stepped forward and waved to the police officers who had gathered around.

"Put down your guns! Put them down now!"

This is Comrade Luo Fei! A national hero! It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!

As he spoke, he warmly extended his hand to shake hands with Luo Fei, his face full of smiles and apologies.

"Director Luo, hello, hello! This is truly a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple! Look at the mess this has made... Wang Qiang... sigh, he only has himself to blame! Are you alright? You must be shaken!"

He completely ignored the fact that Luo Fei had "escaped" and seized the gun, and quickly shifted his stance to Luo Fei's side.

Seeing this, the other police officers, though full of doubt, also lowered their guns, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of what was going on. Inside the passageway, only the unconscious Wang Qiang, a group of bewildered and curious police officers, and Luo Fei, who stood calmly in the center of their group, remained.

In the tense, gunpowder-like atmosphere of the detention center corridor, Luo Fei revealed his identity as the "Director of the 18th Bureau of the Special Security Bureau of the Great Xia State Security Department." With the help of the young police officers and the deputy director, he initially brought the chaotic situation under control. The deputy director reacted quickly, his face filled with a complex expression of awe, fear, and eager obsequiousness. While directing the still bewildered police officers who arrived one after another to put away their weapons and maintain order, and arranging for someone to keep a close watch on the still unconscious former director, Wang Qiang, he personally ran to process the necessary paperwork for Luo Fei and retrieve his confiscated personal belongings.

Not long after, the deputy director respectfully returned a transparent plastic bag to Luo Fei. Inside were his confiscated cell phone, wallet, and the dark blue ID card bearing the national emblem. Luo Fei took it and first took out the ID card. The deputy director and several nearby police officers, including the excited young officer, couldn't help but steal a glance. The photo, name, unit, and prominent rank on the ID card were all clearly visible. Especially the title "Director," which caused everyone present to involuntarily gasp, their gazes towards Luo Fei filled with disbelief and shock.

Such a young director of a bureau directly under the Ministry of State Security? The power and secrets behind this are completely beyond their imagination.

Ignoring the stares of those around him, Luo Fei deftly removed the orange vest he had worn for days in the detention center—a symbol of inmate status—and casually handed it to the deputy warden beside him. The deputy warden hurriedly accepted it with both hands, as if receiving a sacred relic. Then, Luo Fei took his cell phone from his bag.

Pressing the power button resulted in a completely black screen with no response, clearly indicating that the battery had been depleted and the device had shut down automatically.

He's been detained for the past few days, so naturally no one has been charging his phone.

"Director Luo, use mine! Use my power bank!"

Upon seeing this, the deputy director hurriedly took out a power bank and a data cable from his pocket and handed them over with both hands.

Luo Fei nodded, thanked him, took the power bank and data cable, and plugged his phone into the power source.

During the tens of seconds of waiting for the phone to boot up, the corridor was unusually quiet, with only the suppressed breathing of the crowd. Finally, the phone screen lit up, displaying the boot animation, and then entered the system desktop.

Almost simultaneously, the phone began to vibrate violently, and the screen instantly displayed a dense barrage of missed call notifications and text message previews, like a waterfall. The buzzing vibration lasted for a full half minute before gradually subsiding.

Luo Fei frowned slightly and swiped the screen to check. The missed call count icon showed an astonishing number: "99+". The caller names were varied, but the most frequent one was "Chen Yifan". In addition, there were some landline numbers from the capital, as well as several special numbers marked with codes. The text message inbox was also overflowing, mostly from Chen Yifan, starting with inquiries like, "Boss, where are you? Can't reach you."

It gradually turned into "Director Luo, call back immediately if you see this!"

Then, his tone became increasingly anxious as he asked, "What happened? The last known location was near the Xishan Detention Center!"

And the latest messages include: "We have coordinated with the local police and are conducting a full-scale search. Please ensure your safety!"

.

Luo Fei then realized that during the few days he had "voluntarily disappeared" in order to conduct an in-depth investigation, the outside world had probably been thrown into chaos because of his sudden "disappearance".

A warm feeling welled up in his heart, along with a touch of apology; he hadn't expected his brothers to go to such lengths.

Without hesitation, he immediately found Chen Yifan's number and dialed it back.

The call was answered almost instantly, as if the other person had been holding the phone in their hand the whole time.

Chen Yifan's familiar voice immediately came through, filled with extreme anxiety and a hoarseness that was almost breaking.

"Hello?! Boss?! Is that you?! Where are you?! Are you safe?!"

A barrage of questions, like a machine gun, revealed the immense pressure he had been under these past few days.

"Yifan, it's me. I'm fine, I'm safe."

Luo Fei's voice was steady and clear, transmitted through the radio waves.

A long, relieved sigh came clearly from the other end of the phone, followed by Chen Yifan's excited, somewhat incoherent voice.

"Good heavens...you finally have news! Do you know how we've been these past few days? The location signal completely disappeared after you went into that Xishan Detention Center! We contacted the detention center, and at first they were evasive, then they simply said they couldn't find any such person! The provincial and municipal bureaus coordinated for ages, but they still couldn't figure out the situation. The Xue family has too deep a presence in the local area, and we can't get through to many of them! We're almost going crazy! All the brothers in the special case team have been mobilized and rushed to Dongguan City overnight. When Team Leader Lin of the Ghost Team received the news, he also brought his men over without saying a word! Now everyone is on standby at the Dongguan City Criminal Investigation Center. We're practically digging up the entire city!"

Luo Fei listened quietly, his heart filled with even greater warmth. The Special Case Team was his direct elite force, so their deployment was expected; but the Ghost Team, a top-tier special operations team from another department that had fought alongside him, had also rushed to the scene upon hearing the news. This camaraderie and speed of response truly moved him.

He could imagine Chen Yifan, Captain Lin, and their group of tough guys, anxious and sleepless all night because they couldn't find him.

"Thank you all for your hard work."

Luo Fei said in a deep voice.

"Tell the brothers I'm fine."

This time the situation is special, and we need to go deep inside to find out what's going on, so we cut off external contact.

I'm sorry to have worried everyone.

"I'm so glad you're alright! I'm so glad you're alright!"

Chen Yifan's voice finally regained some of its usual composure, but it still revealed excitement.

"Where are you located right now? We'll come pick you up immediately!"

"I'm at Xishan Detention Center. I just finished dealing with things here." (End of Chapter)
