Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Chapter 1139 - 563: Undercurrents Rising? Setting Out Again_2

It seems like we need to slow down a bit.

Luo Fei also agreed noncommittally.

"Miss Shen, please feel free."

Just as Shen Yueling left.

Luo Fei also looked at Ji Bing on the side.

"Ji Bing, I noticed you didn’t say much earlier and kept your head down, busy eating."

At this moment, Ji Bing had stuffed her cheeks full.

Her small mouth was pouting, and she spoke somewhat unclearly.

"Mr. Luo, I haven’t eaten anything almost all day. Besides, you and Miss Shen were listening to the recording earlier. If I talked randomly, wouldn’t it affect your listening?"

Noticing that the other person was a bit curious.

She sighed a little helplessly.

Luo Fei shook his head with a slight amusement.

"I admit defeat to you. You’re right."

Just then, Luo Fei’s email notification lit up.

Taking a closer look, Luo Fei suddenly discovered.

It was a message from Tang Bingyao.

However, after seeing the content.

Luo Fei rubbed his temples.

"What’s wrong, Mr. Luo? Did something happen?"

Hearing Ji Bing ask this.

Luo Fei patiently explained.

"Nothing much, it’s just that Tang Bingyao just sent a message. She said she just learned that that woman has been missing for quite some time."

The woman Luo Fei referred to.

Was, of course, Shen Liufeng’s former mistress: Wu Meilian.

Upon hearing this news.

Ji Bing couldn’t help but become cautious.

"Mr. Luo, if that’s the case, isn’t there a possibility that Wu Meilian might no longer be alive?"

Ji Bing’s implication was obvious without saying.

But Luo Fei listened and shook his head seriously.

"That shouldn’t be the case."

Having dealt with him several times.

Luo Fei knew all too well what kind of person Shen Liufeng was.

He’s the type who would kill without getting his hands dirty.

At the very least, he wouldn’t act personally.

As Shen Yueling returned to the room.

She, too, with a bit of caution said.

"Mr. Luo, I heard all your conversations. Do you think that my father might be a murderer?"

Shen Yueling was somewhat anxious and restless.

She never imagined her father could get to this point.

Luo Fei listened and quickly explained.

"Miss Shen, this is just a hypothesis. As for the specifics, we still need further verification from the police. So before that, please try to stay calm and await the results of the police investigation."

But hearing this, Shen Yueling hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said.

"Mr. Luo, you don’t need to comfort me. Since things have developed to this point. No matter what happens next, I won’t be unable to accept it. I just think there must be some deeper reason behind it, or that it’s justifiable."

Catching onto Shen Yueling’s intention.

Luo Fei also slightly relaxed.

"Miss Shen, it’s great that you think that way."

"But next, Officer Ji and I might need to find a place to settle down, rest a bit. We have to return to the Major Crimes Unit tomorrow morning for further investigation."

Luo Fei’s reminder made Shen Yueling quickly agree.

"Mr. Luo, how about this: since you need to find a place to rest tonight, let me arrange accommodations for you."

Hearing Shen Yueling’s invitation.

Luo Fei did not immediately agree.

"Miss Shen, I appreciate your kindness, but for Officer Ji’s and my safety, it’s best if we find a hotel outside, preferably not one under your father’s name."

Hearing this.

Shen Yueling was silent for a while, but she quickly understood Luo Fei’s intention.

"I understand, Mr. Luo. Leave it to me."

As Shen Yueling left.

Ji Bing hesitantly asked.

"Mr. Luo, do you think Miss Shen misunderstood something?"

Noticing Ji Bing’s hesitation.

Luo Fei grew even more curious.

"Ji Bing, what misunderstanding? What could she misunderstand?"

Seeing the bewildered look on his face.

Clearly, he didn’t get the hint.

Ji Bing turned her head aside.

"Nothing, Mr. Luo."

Luo Fei didn’t press further.

Instead, he smiled and said.

"By the way, Ji Bing. Actually, your contribution to successfully resolving this case should not be underestimated. It’s all thanks to you."

Luo Fei’s praise.

Left Ji Bing a bit flustered.

"Mr. Luo, you flatter me."

But seeing her evasive eyes, with a hint of complexity flashing through her beautiful eyes.

Clearly, she didn’t want to be overly praised.

Luo Fei, however, sincerely said.

"Ji Bing, I mean it. I believe that the reason we solved the case so smoothly this time is inseparable from our seamless cooperation. If we had been careless back then, and if Wang Erdan had noticed anything suspicious, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Luo Fei’s tone was calm and composed.

Ji Bing became embarrassed.

"Oh, Officer Ji, why is your face red?"

As luck would have it, Shen Yueling happened to return from outside at this moment.

But seeing Ji Bing with her head down, a bit embarrassed and shy.

She couldn’t help but murmur.

If I had known, I would’ve booked a single king-size bed room instead of a double suite.

Frankly speaking.

Shen Yueling had suspected there might be something intimate between Luo Fei and Ji Bing.

But she couldn’t directly ask.

"Boss Shen, what did you just say?"

Almost simultaneously.

Luo Fei also asked.

Seeing his curiosity.

A hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

Shen Yueling quickly shook her head.

"Nothing, nothing, Mr. Luo."

Noticing her hesitation and slight reluctance to speak.

Luo Fei didn’t dwell on it, but Ji Bing quickly caught onto her thoughts.

Clearly, their earlier interaction had caused her to misunderstand.

Early the next morning.

As soon as Luo Fei got up, he heard a knock on the door.

"Mr. Luo, Mr. Luo, are you there?"

When Luo Fei reached the door.

Ji Bing had already washed up.

And had come over to open the door proactively.

"Li Yu, why are you here so early?"

"Why do you ask? Sister Yang Mei made a whole table of dishes last night and invited Old Cai and Lin Qingshan over for dinner. She thought you’d return, but you didn’t."

Hearing Li Yu’s reminder.

Luo Fei suddenly snapped back to reality.

"Oh, I was too busy last night. Completely forgot about it. I really apologize."

Seeing Luo Fei’s slight embarrassment.

Li Yu shrugged, not intending to hold a grudge.

"It’s no problem. Last night, Sister Yang Mei already guessed it. She was also worried, thinking if you were on duty, calling might disrupt your investigation."

"So she waited until morning to send me over to find you."

The later situation, Luo Fei also understood.

Li Yu first called Luo Fei’s phone, but couldn’t get through.

The battery was dead.

Then, instead, called Ji Bing.

This was how he learned they were discussing the case progress with Shen Yueling last night.

And didn’t spend the night investigating.

This left Li Yu somewhat frustrated.

Noticing his hesitation.

It seemed a bit awkward.

Luo Fei apologized quickly.

"Li Yu, this situation isn’t really my fault."

"We did talk late into the night, and we all had a bit to drink, so driving wasn’t an option. As the head of the Major Crimes Unit, I can’t be the one breaking the law by drinking and driving."

Luo Fei’s tone was serious.

Li Yu, still somewhat unconvinced.

Though his expression remained unchanged.

"Mr. Luo, what are your plans for today? Are you reporting back to the bureau?"

"No need. Just call He Jiayun over. I have something to discuss with her. Later, we may have to travel to Hong Kong Island together."

But as soon as Luo Fei finished speaking.

Li Yu suddenly felt a bit dizzy.

"Wait, Mr. Luo, didn’t you just return from Shenchuan yesterday? Why are you planning to go to Hong Kong Island today?"

Li Yu was genuinely surprised.

He never imagined Luo Fei would decide so quickly to travel again.
