America, starting as a trainee police officer

"Triphasic Medical. According to information provided by the biosynthesis technology company, the head of this division is Dr. Lawrence Melik."

"A renowned neurosurgeon, 68 years old this year."

Li Wei looked at the information provided by the investigation department and introduced Zoe to the people they were about to meet.

"Well, hopefully this PhD student will give us some surprises."

Zoe, holding her belt, led Levi toward a building owned by a biosynthetic technology company.

...

"Officers, this is Melik. What can I do for you?"

As the voice came, an old man wearing a white coat, with gray hair and a small mustache, came out.

Unlike other old men, Dr. Melik was in very good spirits.

They don't look like elderly people at all.

"Hello, Dr. Melik, I'm Zoe Andrew, the commander of the Wilshire Division of the LAPD. I have a few questions for you. Do you have a moment?"

At this stage, there is insufficient evidence for a judge to issue a search warrant. Similarly, it is impossible to classify Mellick as a suspect.

Even if they forcibly take him back to the police station, he must be released after 24 hours.

There's no need to wait 24 hours; Merrick's lawyer will post the bail, release Merrick immediately, and take the LAPD to court.

This is not the outcome Zoe wanted.

On the other hand, in Li Wei's eyes, there was no need for him to investigate this Melik.

[Criminal detected: Lawrence Melik]

Criminal acts: kidnapping, unlawful detention, murder, destruction of evidence, forgery, framing, bribery, harboring a criminal.

[Arrest Reward: All-Round Physical Enhancement Agent x1]

[Comprehensive Physical Enhancement Agent: Increases all basic attributes by 20 points.]

To be honest, this is the biggest fish Li Wei has ever seen since he transmigrated here.

Unfortunately, there is insufficient evidence at present, so arresting them would be pointless.

With Zoe watching from the side, she wouldn't let herself do anything reckless.

"That's no problem at all. This way, please. Let's talk in my office."

With a smile on his face, Mellick looked like a kind medical scholar, not at all like a vicious criminal.

Strictly speaking, he wasn't really a vicious criminal.

Melik is the kind of ideal criminal.

He genuinely believed he was creating a better world, and that the crimes he committed were merely necessary means and sacrifices to achieve that better.

It is perfectly reasonable.

It can only be said that these kinds of madmen are the most difficult to deal with.

What they want is neither money nor power.

It's pure idealism; you can't negotiate with this kind of madman at all.

...

Thirty minutes later, just as Li Wei had expected, he and Zoe hadn't gotten anything out of each other.

Melik only admitted that he had met Guy Lusen once at a party where he received an academic honor not long ago.

On the surface, Sanxiang Medical is just an ordinary research institution, and there's nothing suspicious about it.

The investigation suddenly hit a dead end.

"The investigation has reached a stalemate. Any thoughts, Officer Li?"

Back in the police car, Zoe sat in the passenger seat, looking at Levi beside her.

"I think we should start the investigation with Eric. He's one of ours, and we'll definitely have the most information to gather."

Right now, Zoe doesn't know that Eric is a corrupt cop. If she pulls on his bank account statements, she might be able to find Lawrence's inside man.

Li Wei could only steer the investigation in that direction.

"A good starting point, let's do it this way."

But in reality, Li Wei had other clues. When he was in Lawrence's office, he spent a lot of mana to use the [Reconnaissance] skill on him.

Lawrence Melik

[Current state: Anxious, worried. Guy Luther is now under his control in the hospital room, injected with anesthesia to make him believe he is paralyzed. Lawrence, who admires Guy, hoped he would join his cause. Unfortunately, the kid didn't know what was good for him and had to be killed to silence him; he knew too much.]

...

Back at the police station, with Li Wei's deliberate intention, the detectives quickly discovered that Eric was a corrupt cop.

The investigation is proceeding in an orderly manner.

It was time to leave work, and Zoe didn't ask Levi to work overtime.

"Well done today, Officer Lee."

Zoe looked at Levi. Although the case wasn't solved today, Levi had provided a lot of ideas for the main progress.

This greatly increased her points in Zoe's eyes.

Li Wei is a young man who is methodical and thorough in his work.

He was born to be a policeman.

The only downside is that he sometimes hits without restraint, and he might hit someone's limbs without warning.

Fortunately, he knew his limits and only did that to the most vicious criminals.

Otherwise, he might be burdened with a mountain of civil lawsuits.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Keep up the good work, I believe in you." Zoe patted Levi on the shoulder.

After Zoe left, Levi watched her retreating figure and stroked his chin.

I clocked out and left work.

...

Outside the door of Triphasic Medical.

Levi sat in Bianca's GLC.

Now that I have a rich woman's car to drive, my legs are finally free.

Touching the leather steering wheel, Li Wei parked the car on the road opposite Sanxiang Medical.

He had a feeling that Melik would most likely make his move tonight.

The police came to question him during the day.

He has clearly been placed on the suspect list.

Such pressure would throw Mellick off balance.

All I have to do is wait here until Melik disposes of Lusen's body, catch him red-handed, and then I can get the [All-Round Physical Enhancement Agent].

After investigation, it was found that there were two entrances and exits to the Sanxiang Medical building.

One way is through the reception hall at the main entrance.

Second, the entrance to the underground parking lot.

Both doors are on the same side.

The other three sides are sealed off.

This design is quite normal for a laboratory.

Li Wei put down the binoculars and reached into a brown paper bag next to him to take out a donut.

took a bite.

"Emmm...why is this jerk so sweet? It's sickeningly sweet!"

Slightly disgusted, Li Wei rolled down the car window and tossed the donut out.

"Even a dog wouldn't eat this filthy stuff."

"Holy crap! Donuts!"

From an angle that Li Wei couldn't see, a man wearing a Stars and Stripes cap exclaimed in fluent Mandarin.

Li Wei looked over upon hearing the sound.

A dirty homeless man sitting at the same table as Frank suddenly lunged forward.

He pounced on the donut he had just thrown on the ground, wanting to take a bite.

We can't let him get away with this!

This is America, after all. If this bastard takes a bite and then complains of a stomachache, and then sues me, I'll have to pay him a lot of money.

Without a second thought, Li Wei quickly got out of the car.

"Holy crap! What are you doing!?"
