Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

"Officer, are you saying our son was threatened by someone and that’s why he did this?"

The old man spoke, trembling all over.

They seemed to have thought of something, although it hadn’t been confirmed.

Luo Fei was noncommittal.

"From the clues we’ve gathered so far, there is a certain probability. It is possible."

Luo Fei said this in a serious tone.

This made the old couple’s faces suddenly become extremely serious.

"Have you thought of something? If you have any leads, or know anything, please do tell me."

Upon hearing Luo Fei’s question,

The couple took a deep breath.

Patiently explaining,

"Officer, honestly speaking, we actually suspected before. Our son might have done something, but we didn’t know what."

It turned out that driver Tang Xiaolin behaved oddly before he disappeared.

He even especially left a sum of money for his parents, saying it was for their retirement.

He also said he had been unfilial before and made many mistakes.

So, he hoped they could forgive him, and the like.

"At the time, we were curious.

Why he suddenly acted so strangely, we thought maybe he had grown up, matured, and become more sensible. But now it appears that he was actually arranging his affairs, just without saying it directly to avoid worrying us."

At this moment,

The old couple truly understood their son’s intention.

He knew he was going to do something dangerous.

Maybe he was threatened.

That’s why he chose to proactively set his affairs in order.

And upon realizing this.

The old couple suddenly felt deeply regretful.

"Officer, we really never thought our son would encounter such a thing."

Seeing the old couple hesitating to speak.

With anxious expressions on their faces.

Luo Fei took a deep breath.

"I understand your feelings. But you don’t need to blame yourselves too much. Nor should you regret it."

"After all, you didn’t know this would happen. You were considering things from your son’s perspective, so you don’t need to be too self-critical."

But although Luo Fei offered comfort,

The old couple shook their heads.

"Officer, you really don’t need to comfort us like this, because we know we made a mistake. If we had noticed something was wrong earlier, we would have stopped our son from doing this."

"We would have tried to give him more care."

Luo Fei listened and then curiously asked.

"So, did your son say anything before he disappeared? Or did he explain any details to you?"

Noticing their curiosity,

The couple pondered for a moment before speaking proactively.

"Officer, now that you mention it, there might actually be something about it!"

The old man spoke and went to his son’s room to bring out a box of things he had previously given them.

"To be honest, our son doesn’t have many other hobbies. He just likes board games."

"Even though he’s over thirty, he still collects things like figurines. He specifically left us a box of toys, saying if anything happened to him, we should hand these toys over to the police."

Upon hearing this,

Luo Fei couldn’t help but frown.

Because his intuition told him that these toys were not so simple.

Someone might be deliberately leaving messages through the toys.

"If you two don’t mind, I hope I can keep these toys and help investigate the case clues. Are you both willing to let us do this?"

Hearing this, the two elderly almost agreed without a second thought.

"Officer, that’s absolutely no problem. You know these toys are of no use to us."

"Moreover, all along, we were treated like the murderer’s parents. We’ve had enough of this kind of life."

The old man went on, hesitating.

Luo Fei offered reassurance,

"Elders, rest assured. If your son hasn’t done anything illegal, the police will certainly clear his name and restore your reputation."

"But I also hope you’ll be prepared. You know cases like this, when rumors and news spread, they do so rapidly. But often when clarified, no one pays attention."

Luo Fei’s words were indeed reasonable.

He had experienced similar situations before.

There had been miscarriages of justice where victims were wrongly accused and misunderstood.

Yet for the police to clear their names is not easy.

Because spreading bad news requires only one sensational headline.

But for the victims to restore their reputation sometimes requires endless, unending efforts for justice.

Upon hearing his warning,

The old couple was not surprised at all.

Instead, they calmly responded,

"Officer, we understand your meaning. But it’s only natural, isn’t it? We don’t mind."

"Exactly, since we’ve been misunderstood for so long. It’s like having too many lice, you no longer feel the itch."

Looking at them with expressionless faces.

Ready to accept the worst outcome.

Luo Fei finally left with Su Jianfan from the elderly’s home.

Took the pile of evidence to the meeting room.

Upon seeing these things.

In the meeting room, Han Tiesheng and the others were dumbfounded.

"Mr. Luo, where did you get this pile of toys?"

Seeing their surprise.

Luo Fei simply smiled.

"These are not ordinary toys."

"They are the key evidence in this case investigation."

Luo Fei’s reminder.

Surprised Han Tiesheng and the others.

Though somewhat doubtful,

Still, Han Tiesheng respected Luo Fei’s idea.

Maintained a composed exterior.

"Mr. Luo, how could these toys be the key evidence? Just by looking at them, I can’t associate them with any clues."

Not only Han Tiesheng but also the other officers.

Were exchanging puzzled glances.

Feeling almost at a loss.

Seeing everyone’s silence.

Luo Fei took a deep breath.

"Given the current situation."

"We’ll have to find someone knowledgeable about anime to handle these little toys."

...

"Dad, are you there?"

At this moment, a gentle voice came from outside.

Upon hearing it was Han Tiesheng’s daughter.

Luo Fei was suddenly startled.

"Old Han, maybe your daughter knows about these toys. We should show them to her and let her take a look."

But upon hearing Luo Fei’s suggestion,

Old Han was somewhat embarrassed.

Because he was well aware.

He was quite strict with his daughter’s upbringing.

Rarely letting her watch non-domestic anime.

Believing that she’s young.

Before she becomes an adult, exposure to overly profound, or even some forbidden content in films might affect her worldview.

This news also made Cai Junfeng and the others take notice.

"Old Han, does this mean you’re quite competent at educating your daughter?"

"Looks like we all should learn from you."

Old Han listened, feeling a wave of pride.

But before he could say anything.

His daughter had already entered the meeting room, peering from behind him.

Surprisedly asking,

"Wow, dad, where did you get these toys? These are all limited editions, some costing thousands each!"

Her words made Han Tiesheng’s smile freeze.

For just a moment ago.

He was boasting to others about his excellent guidance.

Claiming his daughter hadn’t watched these anime.

Yet the next moment, she spoke words completely opposite to his expectations.

This result was not what he wanted to see.

Thus Han Tiesheng, at this moment, felt utterly embarrassed.
