Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Luo Fei appeared somewhat perplexed.

Inspector Situ also expressed helplessness.

"Mr. Luo, you may not be aware. Initially, we thought we were going to capture a group of young girls selling softcore content through livestreams. However, upon arrival at the scene, I discovered it was actually a group of men."

After Inspector Situ’s explanation.

Luo Fei finally understood.

It turned out that the dozen or so individuals currently being held and interrogated at the detention center.

Were all chat hosts for a livestream company.

They were posing as those online streamers, chatting with the top contributor on the leaderboard, even actively asking them for gifts.

Thereby earning more revenue.

And then sharing it with the livestream company.

But fundamentally, because they were not the actual livestream hosts, they were committing fraud.

Moreover, due to the large amount involved.

That’s why they were arrested.

"I understand now, Inspector Situ. So, it turns out the investigation of this case required your invaluable assistance."

Upon hearing this news.

Although Loo Fei appeared calm and composed, expressing gratitude proactively.

Inspector Situ felt a bit embarrassed.

"It’s nothing, Mr. Luo. We also initially suspected there might be a significant conspiracy behind this case. But based on the current investigation, these people are unaware of Ruan Shaomei’s death. They were merely following company orders, borrowing the image of popular streamers to seek personal gains."

"Moreover, I just found out that the company they work for is not a legitimate business but a shell corporation. So, they are likely exploited as cheap labor."

This news made Luo Fei frown slightly.

"Inspector Situ, I understand your point of view. Thank you for your willingness to cooperate and for providing us with such valuable clues."

Although this case has reached a temporary conclusion.

Ji Bing, however, felt.

Things were not that simple.

"Mr. Luo, are you sure this case is truly closed now?"

At that moment.

Ji Bing was genuinely surprised.

Her tone carried a hint of unexpectedness.

Observing her confusion, seemingly puzzled and at a loss.

Luo Fei responded with a smile.

"Of course not, it’s just based on the current clues and evidence."

"Ruan Shaomei’s death was indeed an accident."

While Luo Fei explained.

Inspector Situ suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, Mr. Luo, just two days ago, after we learned of Ruan Shaomei’s death, we began drafting a wanted notice and releasing it. We hope to catch the culprit through this opportunity."

"And who knows, in a few days, we might find some clues or someone might come forward to report."

Upon hearing this information.

Luo Fei felt slightly astonished inside.

However, outwardly, he remained composed.

He promptly expressed gratitude.

"Inspector Situ, I really must thank you then."

Luo Fei stated this.

His tone was full of appreciation.

Inspector Situ also smiled.

"No problem at all, Mr. Luo. This is our duty."

While they were conversing.

A nearby officer suddenly approached briskly.

Speaking excitedly.

"Inspector Situ, we’ve just received the latest news. Someone has voluntarily called us, offering to assist the police in solving the case. Additionally, they suspect that the deceased they discovered might be Ruan Shaomei, though they’re not entirely sure."

Upon hearing this.

Luo Fei was immediately a bit excited.

"In that case, why not invite her to the police station so we can talk face-to-face?"

However, while Luo Fei eagerly proposed this.

The officer at that moment said.

"Mr. Luo, we also hoped they could come. However, this person said they were unsure of the circumstances at the time, so they might need to revisit the scene to reconstruct the case. They said they hoped Mr. Luo could act secretly, not to attract attention. They too want to remain low-key."

Hearing such a request.

It piqued Luo Fei’s curiosity.

After all, under normal circumstances.

If someone wanted to report a case.

They would most likely be happy, or even excited.

However, considering this perspective, it makes sense, because some people might not want to stir up trouble. Hence, this suggestion.

So Luo Fei didn’t overthink it.

"Mr. Luo, you’re finally here. Truth be told, I’ve been unable to sleep for a long time. Every time I woke up, I felt as if that scene was vividly before me. Like a dream."

After some time.

As Luo Fei and Ji Bing arrived at the destination.

From afar, they saw a middle-aged woman waiting there.

Her face was full of unsettled anxiety and bewilderment.

Her expression clearly showed her lingering fear about the past events.

Everyone else couldn’t help but exchange glances.

"Madam, if you knew something was off, why didn’t you come forward right away? Why wait until now to appear?"

Seeing the puzzled and somewhat disoriented look from others.

The woman nervously replied.

"Officer, it was night when I was riding my electric scooter past here. Who would have thought, in such a remote forest area and next to an abandoned small stone bridge, a murder would occur?"

"Besides, what if it was you, passing through alone in the dead of night, hearing someone scream for help, and shout nonstop? You would have run away, right?"

The woman was pale as if the scene was vividly in her mind.

Upon reflection, it seemed reasonable.

After all, in a nearly deserted place, hearing someone scream would lead most people to flee, as they’d be frightened. That’s a logical reaction.

So even if she acted that way, it couldn’t be faulted.

"I understand, madam; thank you this time for providing us with a clue."

"This actually further suggests from certain angles that Ruan Shaomei’s death was not a suicide but a homicide."

Luo Fei clearly understood the time was late, and the area lacked lighting.

Even if others passed by like the woman, they likely wouldn’t linger long.

From this point of view, Luo Fei’s speculation was reasonable.

Upon hearing the analysis, the woman couldn’t help but admire.

"Mr. Luo, it turns out you have remarkable foresight and intelligence. Truly impressive."

"When I was passing, it was also dark, although I turned on my scooter’s light. Yet I vaguely noticed a car seemed parked inside the woods. A sports car, even though I couldn’t tell the brand, it looked quite stylish."

However, the woman’s description raised worries for Ji Bing.

"Madam, while we know your intentions are good, such a broad description isn’t very useful. Even if we want to investigate, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Truly a challenge to find."

In contrast, Luo Fei remained calm.

"Madam, the clue you’ve provided is indeed important. It might serve as a pivotal turning point in our case."

But upon hearing his intent.

The woman felt puzzled.

"Mr. Luo, honestly, I was hesitant to report due to fears the police wouldn’t believe me, given how vague my information is. It’s not significant evidence."

The woman hesitantly explained.

Yet Luo Fei smiled.

"Madam, you’re mistaken. In my view, it is quite sufficient."

"Indeed, it can be considered incredibly critical information."

Such words left the woman surprised.

"Mr. Luo, what exactly do you mean by that? I feel confused."

At this moment.

Ji Bing and others were also puzzled.

Luo Fei remained nonchalant.

"Ji Bing, do you remember when we consulted the game support about IPs and the transaction history?"
