Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

When Luo Fei got out of the car.

The manager of this company quickly walked over with a fawning smile.

"Officer, you’re finally here."

"It’s been a long time since our Mr. Tao’s incident. All of us were worried that if the truth hadn’t been uncovered, Mr. Tao’s death would remain a mystery."

"And the company’s affairs would be unmanaged."

The manager said this with a bit of embarrassment.

Luo Fei couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Manager, so it seems Mr. Tao was quite respected in your company?"

"Of course. Although Mr. Tao’s private life might have been a bit messy, he was very dedicated to his work."

After the manager explained, Luo Fei learned.

Actually, pretty much everyone in the company knew about Tao Guolin’s fondness for young women.

However, most people thought.

If others work seriously, what harm is there in liking young women?

So most people acted as if they were unaware.

Or simply didn’t mind.

"So officer, we really don’t mind him dating someone he likes, even if she’s much younger. Because we don’t care. It’s his personal matter, and we have no right to interfere."

Mr. Wu’s words made Luo Fei nod.

"Then, Mr. Wu, based on your perspective, what kind of woman do you think Cheng Li is?"

Originally, Mr. Wu was somewhat respectful towards Luo Fei.

But as the topic turned to this matter,

he took a deep breath.

"Mr. Luo, some things aren’t really for me to say. If I speak too much, it could be bad."

Seeing that Mr. Wu was hesitant to speak further,

Luo Fei couldn’t help but be puzzled.

"Mr. Wu, do you perhaps know something that others don’t?"

Luo Fei’s question made Mr. Wu take a deep breath.

"Mr. Luo, I can share some details with you, but you must promise not to tell anyone it came from me. I don’t want trouble from that woman."

Hearing this, Mr. Wu broke out in a cold sweat.

He seemed to have some difficult matters to conceal.

And Luo Fei readily agreed.

"No problem, Mr. Wu, feel free to share whatever you know. We’ll handle it confidentially."

Seeing Luo Fei’s assurance,

Mr. Wu finally relaxed a bit.

"Mr. Luo, actually, someone in our company once gossiped secretly."

"This Cheng Li used to be bisexual and even dated a girl."

???

This news.

Made Luo Fei brighten up.

"Really?"

"Yes, Mr. Luo, and the girl even came to the company back then, demanding to know why Cheng Li suddenly changed her mind."

"Although Mr. Tao knew about it, he didn’t mind. He said everyone has a past. As long as Cheng Li didn’t mind, it didn’t matter. Besides, Cheng Li’s relationship with that girl was seven or eight years ago."

After hearing this news,

Luo Fei finally understood.

Cheng Li wasn’t as simple as she appeared.

Especially after seeing some old social media photos she posted.

With short hair, tattoos, and earrings, she looked particularly rebellious.

Beside her was a young girl, who appeared innocent, and their intimate poses were bold, even unconventional, since they were sticker photos.

She looked completely different from her current long-haired self.

"So it seems, Cheng Li did have a girlfriend in the past?"

"Yes, officer, though as outsiders, it’s not our place to meddle in others’ relationships. But in this relationship, Mr. Tao gave a lot. Despite his temper, he never mistreated Cheng Li, and even paid for her brother’s overseas studies."

After Mr. Wu’s explanation,

Luo Fei learned.

Mr. Tao wasn’t always an honest man.

But as he aged, in a way,

he developed genuine feelings for Cheng Li and intended to settle down.

This was why he wanted to get along and hoped her family would accept him.

"So Mr. Wu, did Mr. Tao and Cheng Li’s family ever have conflicts?"

Hearing Luo Fei’s question,

Mr. Wu replied.

"Mr. Luo, to be honest, there really weren’t any."

"After all, these elders probably couldn’t wait for their daughter to find a wealthy son-in-law for a secure future."

Mr. Wu’s analysis made Luo Fei nod.

"You’re right."

Luo Fei then asked some questions about Tao Guolin’s work.

He got specific about the day when Tao Guolin disappeared.

"Additionally, Mr. Wu, I’m really curious if Tao Guolin mentioned to you that he was working overtime or had other plans on the day he went missing."

Hearing this, Mr. Wu quickly shook his head.

"Mr. Luo, there’s no such thing."

"That day, Mr. Tao had specifically taken time off in advance, postponed all his work, and even turned off his work phone. He said that this meeting was very important. No matter how big a deal it was on that day, he wanted his assistant to postpone it to the next day."

After hearing this,

Su Jianfan couldn’t help but conclude.

"Mr. Luo, do you think it’s possible that Cheng Li might be lying?"

"Maybe Tao Guolin never got a call, it’s just her fabrication?"

Detecting Su Jianfan’s intention,

with a hint of hesitation in his voice,

Luo Fei shook his head and said.

"That’s not necessarily true, Tao Guolin did have a history of being unfaithful, so it’s possible an old flame came back around, dragging him into a big mess."

Luo Fei’s analysis left Su Jianfan speechless.

Seeing his hesitation,

Luo Fei continued.

"Of course, I’m not saying this woman isn’t suspicious. But I believe we should be more thorough, rather than jumping to conclusions. Wouldn’t you agree?"

Luo Fei’s words made Su Jianfan nod.

"Yes, Mr. Luo is right, it’s better to be cautious with some things."

Just then,

Lan Mengzhou called.

She had shocking news for Luo Fei.

"Mr. Luo, just now, Cheng Li’s mother told us."

"She said that Cheng Li had been in touch with her ex, despite her warnings to focus on staying with Tao Guolin, but her daughter wouldn’t listen."

"Really?"

Originally, Luo Fei thought.

This case might contain other variables.

However, it now seemed.

The focus was shifting to Cheng Li’s former girlfriend.

But.

Almost simultaneously,

Su Jianfan had already pulled the bank’s surveillance footage.

"Mr. Luo, we retrieved the ATM surveillance from the bank. We found that Cheng Li, along with another woman, withdrew a large sum of money the day after Tao Guolin left."

"We’ve also checked the surveillance footage from that time."

Su Jianfan said, showing Luo Fei the photos.

Upon seeing the contents,

Luo Fei immediately decided to send someone to arrest them.

...

After a while.

Inside the detention center.

Seeing Luo Fei appear,

Cheng Li and her mother were somewhat incredulous.

"Officer, why are you arresting us? What did my mother and I do to deserve this?"

Seeing their surprise,

Evidently not expecting to be taken in,

Luo Fei replied earnestly.

"You two know very well what you’ve done. Even if you don’t confess, it won’t change anything."

Luo Fei’s tone was serious, and he then showed them the photos.

Seeing themselves caught on film withdrawing money from the bank,

The mother and daughter still tried to argue.

"Mr. Luo, it’s not what you think, we really didn’t kill anyone."
