Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

More than an hour later.

As Luo Fei and Su Jianfan arrived at their destination.

They saw from a distance.

Several officers were waiting there at the moment.

Looking at the two of them, faces full of excitement.

"Mr. Luo, the method you suggested to us really works great!"

"Yeah, it's all thanks to you. We've managed to find quite a few victims this time!"

Hearing them say that.

And seeing their faces flushed, practically written all over with admiration for him.

Luo Fei was a bit puzzled.

"You two, what are you talking about? I'm not really following."

Seeing Luo Fei look somewhat at a loss.

The two quickly explained.

"Mr. Luo, didn't you tell Lan Mengzhou before to start livestreaming actively? To use online streams to help more victims of fraud cases?"

"At first she was a bit embarrassed to go live. But then she thought of your urging and encouragement. So she plucked up her courage, started interacting actively with netizens, answering questions for everyone in real time online, explaining relevant laws and regulations. That also helps prevent more people from getting scammed."

Because Lan Mengzhou is knowledgeable, and her attitude is gentle and sincere.

So the people she helped were all very grateful to her.

For that reason, Lan Mengzhou's account, in just a few days, saw her follower count soar all the way up; now it's close to breaking a hundred thousand.

Hearing this.

Luo Fei finally understood.

"So that's what this is about?"

"Sounds like this turned into a good thing then."

Seeing Luo Fei suddenly get it.

They looked relieved as well, and genuinely happy about Lan Mengzhou's remarkable change.

The other officer nodded noncommittally.

"Yes, Mr. Luo, we hadn't expected it at first either—that Lan Mengzhou would actually be able to pull off livestreaming."

"But later, as time went on, she got to know more and more netizens. She became more and more comfortable with it, and even showed a lively side of herself that we don't see in her daily work. Her personality has started to turn more positive and outgoing. That's clearly a good thing."

Seeing the two of them somewhat excited.

Luo Fei just smiled.

"You two, to be honest, I'm actually not here this time for that case..."

"It's that we're investigating another case that's even more important. So we're hoping your local police can actively cooperate."

Hearing what Luo Fei was getting at.

The tone grew a bit hesitant, as if they'd been about to say this themselves.

The two immediately caught on.

"Mr. Luo, we understand what you mean."

"Yes, we know you're investigating the missing-person case of Qiu Wanyu. And just now, she's temporarily out of immediate danger; right now she's resting in the hospital."

"So if you don't mind, Mr. Luo, we'd like to take you over there now so you can talk to her face to face."

Luo Fei nodded.

"Let's go."

After a while.

The group arrived at the inpatient wing of the hospital.

When she saw Luo Fei and Su Jianfan appear together.

Wang Cuihua immediately looked warily behind them.

"Mr. Luo, what about that man? Why don't I see him coming?"

Seeing Wang Cuihua hesitate to speak, her expression somewhat heavy.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked rather worn out.

Clearly she'd been crying out of worry for her daughter, until her eyes were swollen.

Luo Fei raised a hand to calm her.

"Ms. Wang, please try to stay calm. Qiu Zhigang didn't come."

But hearing his answer.

Wang Cuihua looked incredulous.

She was almost laughing from anger.

"Come on, Mr. Luo, didn't that Qiu Zhigang keep saying over and over that he cares so much about his daughter?"

"So how is it that now, at a critical moment, he won't even show up? He won't even bother to come and see for himself whether his daughter's safe. What kind of 'caring about people' is that?"

Wang Cuihua was so angry she had one hand on her hip.

She was starting to suspect that all Qiu Zhigang could do was flap his lips.

In reality he didn't care about his daughter at all.

Luo Fei could only hurry to reassure her.

"Ms. Wang, please don't get worked up just yet. The decision not to let him come—that was made by all of us together."

"We're worried that because Qiu Zhigang is too impulsive, he might do something out of line. So rather than have him come here just to panic, or even make things worse, it's better to let him stay put and wait for instructions."

Luo Fei's analysis.

Made Wang Cuihua ponder for a moment; then she couldn't help but laugh.

"Mr. Luo, you know, when you put it like that, you really do have a point."

"That guy, no matter when, always starts off by yelling at people, dumping all the blame on others, without asking what actually happened. Back then it was exactly because his temper was so explosive that I decided to divorce him."

Wang Cuihua shook her head as she spoke.

Seeing her looking both exasperated and amused.

Luo Fei quickly tried to soothe her.

"Ms. Wang, I know you care about your daughter. But we still need to talk to Qiu Wanyu, to find out where she's been these past few years."

"And why she suddenly took all those pills. What's the story behind that? So we're hoping you can cooperate, and please don't hold it against us."

Noticing Luo Fei's slight hesitation.

As if he was worried she might not let him see her daughter.

Wang Cuihua shook her head.

"Not at all, Mr. Luo. My daughter has a very strong sense of independence."

"And just now, when I explained to her that you officers wanted to see her, she was very willing to ask for your help."

As Wang Cuihua spoke, her expression turned a bit complicated.

The corner of her mouth twitched.

Luo Fei couldn't help being curious.

"Ms. Wang, tell me, has your daughter said anything to you about why she tried to kill herself this time?"
