Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

"Officer, actually, before I first arrived in Shenchuan, Qiu Wanyu actively contacted me."

Just hearing the other person's answer.

Qiu Zhigang was almost blowing up with anger.

"What, you guys actually had contact before this, why didn't you tell me? Do you think seeing me worried makes you happy??"

"It was Wanyu who said it. She didn't want you to know she was in Shenchuan. And she also mentioned she encountered significant trouble at work, which ruined her reputation and forced her to leave home. She was also afraid you'd be angry with her."

It turns out that despite Qiu Zhigang thinking he loved his daughter dearly and always treating her well,

he never acknowledged that

he was actually overly anxious about his daughter.

Especially every time he saw his daughter possibly interacting with the opposite sex,

Qiu Zhigang would worry excessively.

Let alone, from childhood to adulthood,

to prevent his daughter from "turning bad,"

Qiu Zhigang was extremely strict with her, sometimes not just scolding but even resorting to physical punishment.

This excessive control made his daughter constantly tense.

This time, the reason she chose to run away from home instead of discussing tactics with her father

was actually closely tied to her father's overly aggressive parenting methods.

So at this moment, upon hearing from his ex-wife, or rather his daughter, expressing distress to others,

pointing out his flaws,

the old father was somewhat bewildered.

"What, was I wrong in doing this?"

"I did it all for my daughter. To educate her!"

"That's not the point." At this moment,

as Luo Fei reminded him,

Qiu Zhigang quickly asked,

"Right, so Cuihua, did my daughter mention to you where she went or what job she took? Any clues?"

"Telling you for what? So you can find your daughter and subject her to aggressive parenting again?"

Buzz buzz!

Just then, a burst of static noise came from the phone.

It was clearly signal interference.

"Hold on, Qiu Zhigang, I'll take this call and get back to you shortly."

"What do you mean, Wang Cuihua, trying to dodge takes the focus off the issue? You're not planning to tell me what's going on with my daughter, are you?"

"No, it's the police calling!"

As the call was disconnected,

Qiu Zhigang's heart raced wildly.

And shortly thereafter,

the other party called again.

Qiu Zhigang was somewhat impatient.

"What's going on, Wang Cuihua?"

"..."

But the person on the other end didn't respond.

Instead, there was a long silence.

This made Qiu Zhigang feel uneasy.

He asked again, with a blank face.

"Wang Cuihua, speak up, what's really going on?"

Hearing the unease in his voice,

Wang Cuihua took a deep breath and cautiously said,

"Mr. Luo, it's bad, something happened to my daughter."

Hearing her say that,

with a tone full of apprehension,

Luo Fei's expression became very serious.

"What's going on, Madam Wang, what happened exactly?"

Upon being asked by Luo Fei,

Wang Cuihua took a deep breath.

"Mr. Luo, just now the police proactively contacted us."

"They said my daughter swallowed pills earlier at home attempting suicide, luckily a coworker discovered it in time, which is why she was rescued. She has been sent to the hospital for emergency care now."

Just hearing this news,

Qiu Zhigang was no longer able to keep calm.

"Wang Cuihua, you wait there, I'll buy a train ticket and come over."

"I must see my daughter right now!"

But before he could move.

Luo Fei had already handcuffed him.

"Officer, what are you doing? Don't you want me to see my daughter?"

At that moment,

Qiu Zhigang was truly astounded.

And seeing his disbelief,

Luo Fei quickly explained,

"Mr. Qiu, please don't misunderstand, I mean no harm, I simply hope you can calm down."

"Additionally, we police will actively investigate the case to ensure justice for you. However, it's best for you to stay local."

Su Jianfan also chimed in.

"I think Mr. Luo is right. After all, it's not absolutely certain that your daughter has encountered trouble."

"The police who informed Madam Wang earlier were just speculating that the girl might be her daughter. It's not guaranteed."

Su Jianfan's words,

also left Luo Fei with some doubt.

"Indeed, so Mr. Qiu, you really don't need to get too worked up."

Realizing Luo Fei's intent,

was to strongly comfort himself,

Qiu Zhigang knew that his anxiety wouldn't help right now.

Moreover, if Luo Fei and his team contact the local police to investigate, it would be more meticulous.

In which case, he could avoid meeting his ex-wife.

Maybe then he'd calm down.

Thinking along these lines,

Qiu Zhigang had no choice but to take a deep breath.

"Mr. Luo, since you've said this much, I'll follow your advice."

"I truly entrust this matter to you."

Realizing the sincerity in his tone,

a trace of unease appeared on his face.

Luo Fei simply smiled.

"Rest assured, Mr. Qiu, we police will leave no stone unturned and investigate the truth with all our might."

As Luo Fei spoke, he prepared to leave with Su Jianfan.

But Shen Yueling was slightly uneasy.

"Mr. Luo, I didn't expect you to come back here and leave so quickly."

Yet even though Shen Yueling said this,

Luo Fei remained confident.

"Miss Shen, if I were to say, after this incident of someone sneaking into the villa, your father will be very agitated. He might even do something drastic to prevent past good deeds from being exposed. Would you believe me?"

Saying so, his tone was mysterious and somber.

At this moment, Shen Yueling suddenly realized.

"Oh, turns out Mr. Luo was deliberately taking me to stay at the villa overnight just to stir the hornet's nest and create an illusion for my father that we discovered something there and left in a hurry?"

"Yes, Miss Shen, but it'll need your cooperation to make your father more tense."

Luo Fei's analysis,

left Shen Yueling somewhat uncertain.

"Rest assured, Officer, you just need me to act calm in front of my father and create the illusion that I know something but don't want to hurt his pride, hence I didn't expose it?"

Shen Yueling's insight,

instantly made Luo Fei feel overwhelmingly relieved.

"Miss Shen is right. That's exactly what I mean. I just hope you can handle this job."

Understanding Luo Fei's intent,

was somewhat worried she couldn't handle the job,

but Shen Yueling chuckled and shook her head.

"Mr. Luo, you're joking. I've always been used to doing this in front of my father."

"So this matter is a piece of cake for me."

As Shen Yueling agreed,

Luo Fei also slightly relaxed.

"Su Jianfan, let's get ready to set out."

But noticing Luo Fei was about to personally investigate this case,

Su Jianfan couldn't help being surprised.

"Mr. Luo, I'm a little confused."

"Aren't we investigating Miss Shen's father's case? Ignoring that to suddenly investigate another case, won't it trouble Miss Shen?"

But upon hearing this, Luo Fei simply smiled and countered.

"Why would it be? We're still investigating this case, just employing methods to view from a different angle."

Speaking this,

the corner of his mouth slightly lifted, his expression somewhat deeply meaningful.

At that moment,

Su Jianfan suddenly realized.

"Oh, is that it?"

Su Jianfan really didn't expect.

Luo Fei astonishingly opened with startling words.

And seeing him somewhat incredulous,

Luo Fei merely acknowledged ambiguously.

"Su Jianfan, though you may be reluctant to believe it, my intuition tells me this matter isn't as simple as it appears."

Luo Fei's serious demeanor made Su Jianfan nod.

"Mr. Luo, since you've said so, I trust you. I also believe, with our joint efforts, the truth will soon be revealed to the public."
