The cooperation between the police and the public is truly commendable here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, we came here to investigate and didn’t expect Mr. Xue was already so prepared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the smiles on their faces, Luo Fei gave a slight cough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reminded by the team leader, the three of them immediately became serious. They had been somewhat bewildered by the other’s actions and indeed had lost their composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Dongchuan’s face carried a smile, appearing quite amiable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment, in Luo Fei’s eyes, the other party was already exposed, with a shroud of black aura over his head, not very obvious, but irrefutable evidence nonetheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the Eye of Sin, no matter how he tries to evade, it’s useless. Meticulous disguises are ultimately futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei sneered inwardly. Even if the other party wasn’t directly orchestrating, he was definitely not unrelated to the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer, are you here to gather some information, or do you need my staff to assist with the investigation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was apparent that such composed behavior was a conditioned response formed after encountering many such situations, rather than an intentional act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing much, just wanted to learn a bit about your banquet, Mr. Xue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Xue Dongchuan seemed to suddenly remember something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have some video materials here that I’m sure you’ll be interested in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could get up to fetch the computer, Luo Fei pressed his shoulder, and they both sat back on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not necessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was firm, and a cold gleam flashed in Luo Fei’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We just need to ask you here; no need to trouble ourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the side, Zhang Wei and the others were a bit puzzled but didn’t say anything. In such moments, no matter how bizarre, they chose to trust and stand by their team leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, okay, no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer, please go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After attending your banquet, they should have left directly, but it seems they encountered accidents outside afterward. Haven’t you noticed this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An accident? Wasn’t it said that they disappeared! Why would there be an accident?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Dongchuan responded with composure and quickly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer, didn’t the news online recently say that they’re merely missing, their fate is still uncertain? Making such conclusions so early seems a bit premature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei smiled slightly upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s true, indeed I was a bit hasty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the side, Zhang Wei and the others were quite perplexed, very surprised at Luo Fei’s performance today. Usually, the team leader never makes such errors, wouldn’t speak without concrete evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stern and meticulous, especially regarding those perplexing cases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How come today, during the interrogation, such a mishap occurred? Could it be intentional?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with significant doubts, the three didn’t speak up but kept a close watch instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Xue, your winery is quite impressive. It seems like you indeed deserve the position of the city’s liquor industry leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the unexpected praise, Xue Dongchuan was initially taken aback, then burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, Officer, you must be joking. It’s all thanks to my friends’ support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are all those guests at the banquet friends of Mr. Xue’s? Among them, some have special relations with you, while a few might even be competitors. Was this arrangement deliberately set by Mr. Xue?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly shifting the topic, Luo Fei went straight to the point, stabbing into the heart of the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he aimed for was an unexpected offense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a casual conversation and praise, then suddenly the topic became so serious. Not to mention Zhang Wei and the others, even a seasoned player like Xue Dongchuan was momentarily caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, ah... hahaha, after all, we’re in the same trade, attending my event is just showing me face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although we still have some unfinished business in our cooperation currently, taking this opportunity to resolve past misunderstandings would be ideal. At the very least, we can leave a good impression on each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s no surprise he’s a seasoned player, managing to smooth it over like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei stood up and started pacing around, but his eyes weren’t idle, the winery’s environment was quite special, offering a perfect opportunity for observation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer, is there anything else you’d like to ask? I’ve prepared some water and snacks for everyone here; I hope you can oblige us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei naturally ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three nearby also didn’t respond, everyone sat quietly, none daring to act without Luo Fei’s command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One more thing, Mr. Xue, the design of this winery is really nice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long has it been here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, two years ago, business was booming, so to entertain guests conveniently and to showcase the grandeur of our Huabang Spirits, I specifically built this winery here, with cellars and some temperature-controlled storage rooms underground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, so it’s been two years already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Luo Fei finally displayed a smile, then slowly walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, I just wanted to meet you, Mr. Xue. For further development of the case, we’ll certainly need to investigate further. I hope it won’t trouble an outstanding entrepreneur like Mr. Xue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Xue Dongchuan exhibited a surprised look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, what are you saying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer, you’re too kind. Cooperation between the police and civilians is our duty. Without your painstaking efforts to safeguard the people’s happiness and well-being, how would we have the safe times we do today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, they exchanged a few rounds of Tai Chi, and Luo Fei left with the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, the other party showed a very serious and solemn demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>",933,"2026-06-05T23:15:08.731Z",1,"novelbin.me","b2e22dec21d3a070c48abd5a8d6649fca284c03752ab92658dd9d546a9cebfff","gene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-chapter-516","gene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-chapter-514",986,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-cover.jpg"]
