Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Chapter 863

In Wu Zhicheng's view,

Luo Fei's words were completely alarmist.

After all, thousands of people come and go in his hotel every day.

How could there possibly be a situation where a murder occurred?

If there had been any signs, he would have known long ago.

No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense, and it's almost impossible.

Yet Wu Zhicheng seemed a bit incredulous.

He seemed unable to believe his own words.

But Luo Fei remained extremely serious.

"Mr. Wu, don't worry. I never said a murder happened in this room. I can only faintly smell the stench of a corpse."

"That's why I made such a guess."

However, Luo Fei's words,

essentially made no difference.

This made Wu Zhicheng break into a cold sweat.

"Mr. Luo, whether or not it's this room, I've been running this establishment for over ten years. Never had a murder case."

"Are you sure there isn't a mistake?"

Before Luo Fei could speak,

Li Yu, standing by, said sternly.

"Mr. Wu, you can rest assured of this. Our chief's intuition, observation, and judgment have always been beyond ordinary people."

"So if he's this sure, then there should be a body nearby. It's not just alarmist talk."

Li Yu spoke with absolute certainty.

This left Wu Zhicheng in a state of disbelief and amusement.

After all, the judgment they made isn't a good thing.

Gu Nan, standing beside, suddenly seemed to have thought of something.

She pointed at Wu Zhicheng's nose and began to hurl curses.

"Oh, I get it. Wu Zhicheng, so it's you behind my husband's disappearance!"

"I bet you killed him and hid the corpse in the hotel!"

Gu Nan suddenly spoke, making an unsupported conjecture.

Unbridledly spitting out accusations.

This was completely beyond Wu Zhicheng's expectations.

He, too, asked with a bit of incredulity.

"Sister Gu, what are you saying??"

"I've never harmed anyone!"

"Stop making false accusations!"

Wu Zhicheng's face turned blue and white from the words.

Luo Fei, however, signaled to the arriving Xiaohu and Xiaolin.

"You stay in this room and look for evidence, see if you can find any useful traces. Li Yu and I will go upstairs to take a look."

As Luo Fei spoke, he glanced at the ventilation pipes above.

Intuition told him the problem was upstairs.

Yet, despite this, Wu Zhicheng remained a bit incredulous.

After all, he never thought,

that a murder could occur in his establishment.

"Mr. Luo, you can't go further up!"

But just as Luo Fei reached near the entrance of the sixth floor, the top floor,

Wu Zhicheng blocked his way.

This left Luo Fei somewhat surprised.

"Mr. Wu, what do you mean by this?"

"Do you intend to obstruct my official duties?"

His gaze was deep and cold.

Wu Zhicheng firmly said,

"Mr. Luo, this place has always been the warehouse of our establishment, used to store miscellaneous items."

"Even employees do not enter casually, and the door is always locked. There couldn't possibly be a corpse or anything inside."

Wu Zhicheng's words were firm and convincing.

This, however, aroused Luo Fei's suspicions.

"Mr. Wu, if you don't let me go up, then I can only arrest you for obstructing official duties."

Luo Fei's tone was serious.

Wu Zhicheng wanted to resist.

But he had no choice but to nod to his staff.

"Open it."

As the staff took out the key,

Luo Fei also prepared to open the door and go upstairs.

At the very moment the door opened,

a musty and damp smell, accompanied by a nauseating strange odor, hit them.

"Li Yu, call for backup immediately."

Detecting something off in Luo Fei's tone,

Li Yu also realized,

something major must have happened.

Otherwise, Luo Fei wouldn't appear so stern.

And then, as Luo Fei entered the warehouse,

Wu Zhicheng found it a bit difficult, but behind a pile of clutter, he located the power switch of the warehouse.

Click!

As the lights lit up throughout the warehouse,

At first, Wu Zhicheng didn't notice anything unusual.

Though it was called a warehouse,

It was essentially the top floor of the establishment, an entire floor.

It was just that business had been bad in the past couple of years,

And coupled with the excess tables, chairs, benches, and bedding,

Wu Zhicheng chose to stack the clutter here.

Only a few aisles were left in the middle to allow people to pass through.

"Found it."

A moment later.

As Luo Fei approached the pile of bedding stacked together.

He pointed at the mass of quilts with a serious expression.

"The smell of decay is emanating from here."

Luo Fei's speculation was logical.

Because this spot is right by the ventilation duct.

Perhaps that's why the pungent smell was drifting downstairs through the vent.

It's just that the smell itself is rather faint.

So only someone with a keen sense of smell like Luo Fei could detect it.

But looking at that heap of discarded old quilts, probably twenty or thirty in total.

Wu Zhicheng couldn't help but doubt.

"Mr. Luo, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

To him, it was just a pile of quilts.

Nothing else.

But Luo Fei, taking advantage of wearing gloves, spoke very seriously.

"Wu Zhicheng, whether you believe it or not, there's something wrong underneath. If you don't believe it, have your staff move these quilts and see."

Wu Zhicheng had no choice but to pick up the walkie-talkie and call the lounge manager to bring a few people upstairs.

After all, this concerned the hotel's reputation.

A moment later.

With several staff members in place.

Luo Fei instructed.

"Everyone, I need you to clear these items as much as possible."

"Because I don't want the scene to be disturbed."

Luo Fei spoke earnestly.

Giving the impression that he was certain this was the crime scene.

But Wu Zhicheng couldn't help but mumble to himself internally.

"Isn't Officer Luo making a fuss about nothing?"

But to prove himself a good citizen.

Wu Zhicheng had no choice but to instruct his staff.

"You all heard Officer Luo, right? Quickly do as he says."

With the boss's instructions.

The staff began moving the tables, chairs, and quilts stored here.

But as it was since the entire club opened.

The first time to undertake such a massive operation.

The workload was considerable.

So everyone expended quite some effort.

Nearly filled two trucks before the stuff was all hauled away.

...

More than an hour later.

With most of the items in the warehouse cleared.

The air carried a noticeable sour, foul odor.

Yet at this moment, Boss Wu was still speaking confidently.

"Officer Luo, don't worry, my hotel is absolutely legitimate."

"As for the smell, it's probably because the drain here on the top floor is clogged, and no one has come up to clear it, so there's a bit of a strange odor."

But as more and more quilts were moved aside.

A wave of a stronger, more pungent odor hit.

Which made Wu Zhicheng, who had been looking nonchalant, suddenly lose control of his facial expression.

"This can't be?"

"What's that smell?"

"It's so awful..."

As the crowd watched in bewilderment.

Luo Fei noticed.

In the middle of the bottom layer of quilts, there was a large patch of black and red bloodstains.

Such a scene.

Made Luo Fei's expression turn somber instantly.

Wu Zhicheng's heart raced even more.

Especially at the moment Luo Fei lifted the sheet.

Upon seeing underneath was a large area of bloodstains.

The quilts were already stuck together with blood and animal fur.

The bloodstains had long since dried.

Underneath the shriveled animal corpses, exposed stark white bones.

Many staff felt a wave of nausea.

"Oh my god! Call the police immediately!"

"Sorry, I need to use the restroom!"

"Ahhh! Why are there so many animal corpses here?"

...

Upon seeing the gruesome scene that was hard to look at.

Wu Zhicheng was also scared, his legs felt weak.

"How could this be? Why are these animal corpses here??"

But Wu Zhicheng found it hard to believe.

Gu Nan beside him couldn't help but sneer.

"Boss Wu, weren't you just speaking with confidence, sure of your words?"

"What's the result now?"

"The fact is, you're not as honest and straightforward as you claimed."

This time, even Bai Rongjun couldn't help but click his tongue and say.

"Boss Wu, such perverted things, ordinary people probably can't do at all."
