Perhaps they’re among these people but well-hidden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei said with determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go, we should first meet with the security guard, Old Zhao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Lu Chao, the security guard Old Zhao’s home isn’t far from the back street, just a ten-minute drive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu made a quick trip, leaving the other two to watch over the scene and work with the other officers to gather evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there wasn’t much that could provide favorable proof, the scene must not be disturbed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, don’t you think this is quite strange?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Xingyu said as they drove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Logically, the investigation should focus on a key suspect, but everyone in this jewelry store seems off, yet they all have legitimate reasons, which makes it difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s because there’s too much evidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although there are no obvious fingerprints, the dismantling actions, the proficiency in grabbing items, and changes in the crime timing, all these can corroborate their unreasonable aspects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, it’s too messy, let’s first check out the situation with this security guard, Old Zhao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While profiling, I’ve gone over the entire hall. Every trace has been captured, including those dismantling scenes and the grabbing actions, all in my sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the scene is blurred, these details can serve as evidence for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiaoping, who always stayed in the rest area, seemed suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The store manager is alright, mostly of the straightforward kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lili’s confrontational nature and Liu Xia’s companionship all need scrutiny. If one of them lies, the other might inadvertently give false testimony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Mr. Zhao, we’re from the Criminal Investigation Unit. The store you worked at previously...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei knocked and greeted as the door was opened. But the next moment, the elderly man stumbled forward, and his walking stick flew away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu were startled, quickly helping out, one holding the old man and the other catching the walking stick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, officers, please come in, I’m so sorry, getting old.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Zhao grinned, showing a toothless mouth with half a front tooth missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being just sixty, he looked more rugged and aged than even the elderly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, we’re here to understand the situation with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Xingyu, quite embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected the person to be in such a state!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he left a suspicion about this old man, thinking if he did it, it would make sense, considering the store manager’s actions towards regular workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding resentment leading to outrageous behaviors is reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he now firmly believes that the security guard Old Zhao is innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not entirely free of suspicion, at least very minimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a body that’s not even agile, how could he commit robbery and even wreck the whole place like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei continued chatting with the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, are you familiar with the other people at the jewelry store?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? The girls have been fired? Oh dear, when did that happen? That’s too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, I mean, are you familiar with them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Retirement leisure? I’ve been abandoned!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were speechless. If not for their uniforms, Old Zhao might not even know what they were doing here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This old man’s hearing is too poor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hearing being so bad indeed makes him unsuitable for security work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems some things can’t be judged too rashly. The manager considers their personal interest while also weighing objective facts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Xingyu had to raise his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, we want to know how you are with the others at the store?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With those young girls? Oh, they’re good, very sensible. That long-braided Li Xiaoping is a nice kid, just a bit timid, and Xiaoliu often helps me with work too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that Su Lili, quite righteous, often speaks for me, I even considered becoming sworn siblings with her...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Mr. Zhao wobbled as he started to rise, startling Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu, who quickly stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, sir, that’s all we need to know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If anything else comes up, we’ll contact you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, police-community cooperation, it’s a matter of duty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Zhao shakily saw them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the door, Liao Xingyu let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems we can rule out Old Zhao’s situation. At least given his condition, he won’t be our subject or main suspect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His direct involvement is unlikely, but we can’t dismiss the possibility of abetment, inducement, or other potentials. Let’s head back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei stayed serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cautious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Xingyu gave a thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two drove back to the jewelry store, arriving in the afternoon, having spent the whole day here but without any progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei pondered over the appearances of the three girls Old Zhao mentioned during the journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something seemed overlooked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just matched their morning testimonies with Old Zhao’s comments and their everyday demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>",814,"2026-06-05T23:14:57.802Z",1,"novelbin.me","9ad3d334c273af57e592ec7a36a055c4cf28c5a61945ec7ef051da4594ad76a9","gene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-chapter-378","gene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-chapter-376",986,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-cover.jpg"]
