Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Chapter 967 - 477: Clearing Suspicions? Considering Old Ties

"Yes, if I’m not mistaken, this person is Zhou Tianming. He’s a local from Changli City."

"But years ago, because he was a small-time thug on his street, running rampant, he was arrested by the police multiple times. Later, because of smuggling phones to avoid customs checks and pocketing the price differences, he was sentenced."

"However, due to his speculative business, he became quite a figure among them. He even managed to buy a house for his mother with his skills. Plus, the judicial system was not sound back then, so even though his crimes were significant, he was only sentenced to seven years."

After hearing the other’s explanation.

Luo Fei spoke seriously.

"Director Lan, did you notice any unusual behavior when he was released?"

"Could this possibly be the motive for murder?"

Upon hearing Luo Fei’s question.

Lan Gang was noncommittal as well.

"Mr. Luo, initially, I didn’t think about it."

"But thinking back now, when he was released, he said he had been a bad person but from now on intended to be a good person and act as an avenger."

"Though that was months ago, I thought he was just kidding, wanting to turn over a new leaf. But I didn’t expect him to begin anew by enforcing justice in such a manner."

In the next second.

With the photo presented by the senior lady.

Lan Gang’s statement was confirmed.

"Mr. Luo, it’s indeed Zhou Tianming."

Despite Lan Gang’s confidence.

Luo Fei’s expression turned exceptionally grave.

"Director Lan, if you’re not mistaken, can I understand that knowing he might do something outrageous, you were still careless, leading to today’s outcome?"

Moreover.

If he insists on continuing his quest for justice.

The next victim might appear quickly...

"Mr. Luo, don’t you find this person familiar?"

"Even with the sunglasses!"

Almost simultaneously.

As Su Jianfan pointed out.

When he compared the surveillance footage from two places.

Luo Fei noticed.

The person responsible for Yang Mingquan’s death and Chen Shufen’s was the same.

Even their silhouette was identical.

"Director Lan, quickly call the local traffic police brigade!"

...

"Hello? Mr. Luo, why the sudden call?"

Before long.

With Luo Fei’s orders.

Xu Mengzhou received the call.

As soon as the call was connected.

Luo Fei asked somewhat urgently.

"Captain Xu, has the traffic brigade detained the drunk driver who injured Chen Shufen?"

Detecting the other’s overly excited tone.

As if something big had happened.

Xu Mengzhou had to answer truthfully.

"Mr. Luo, we intended to detain him initially, but that young man was drunk, wobbling everywhere. So we sent him to the hospital first. But when we came to, looking for him in the restroom, he had already escaped over the wall."

"Strangely, that was the eighth floor..."

Hearing Xu Mengzhou say this.

Luo Fei rubbed his temples.

"Captain Xu, thank you for providing us some leads."

"However, given the current situation, it seems we’ll have to watch him leave..."

Detecting Luo Fei’s helplessness.

He seemed hesitant.

Xu Mengzhou couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.

"Mr. Luo, do you mean this young man has other crimes?"

Upon hearing Xu Mengzhou’s words, Luo Fei was noncommittal.

"That’s right. Based on our investigations, that’s the case."

Hearing Luo Fei’s explanation.

Xu Mengzhou almost held his breath, his expression growing more grave.

"Mr. Luo, what do you need us to do?"

"Block the main roads, have someone tail him?"

To Xu Mengzhou, this was the usual thinking.

The standard procedure upon discovering a major suspect.

But Luo Fei shook his head and said.

"No need. Thanks, Captain Xu, but instead of searching aimlessly, we should lay in wait for him."

Understanding Luo Fei’s intent.

Xu Mengzhou was a bit surprised.

"Mr. Luo, what do you mean? I’m a bit confused."

Xu Mengzhou was slightly bewildered.

Luo Fei patiently explained.

"Captain Xu, I mean we should try a different approach."

After all, this person usually targets serious crime suspects. So we can follow this idea and protect those recently released or potential serious crime suspects who haven’t been caught."

Luo Fei’s reasoning impressed Xu Mengzhou.

"Mr. Luo, you’re clever and thorough in your thinking."

Yet even after Luo Fei planned the action.

Lan Gang still had his doubts.

"Mr. Luo, although you’re preemptive, based on what I know, Chen Shufen is just an ordinary housewife, what did she do wrong to face this?"

Lan Gang’s question resonated with Luo Fei’s thoughts.

However, there was no concrete evidence so far.

Thus, Luo Fei hesitated to make conclusions lightly.

So he merely told Lan Gang.

"Director Lan, though it’s not 100% certain, I believe he’s doing this for a reason. What we need to do is anticipate and prepare for various possibilities before his next move."

Luo Fei’s words caused Director Lan to nod firmly.

"Mr. Luo, why not leave his capture to me as I’m familiar with him and his style."

Seeing Lan Gang’s eager spirit.

Luo Fei spoke sternly.

"Director Lan, you should avoid involvement. It’s best if you don’t engage in this case."

"Given your familiarity with him, past experiences might cloud your judgment."

Originally, Lan Gang was ready to investigate the suspect.

But Luo Fei’s words poured cold water on him.

Despite his reluctance.

He understood.

Luo Fei was right.

"Mr. Luo, what you said makes sense."

"After all, I’m too familiar with him. I’ve seen him grow, from defiant to compliant, positive in prison."

"I might misjudge him, leading to bad outcomes."

Understanding the other’s intent.

His tone hesitant.

Luo Fei nodded and said.

"Director Lan, understanding my thoughts is ideal. I genuinely hope you won’t be involved. Your familiarity might bias your judgment."

Luo Fei spoke and informed Su Jianfan.

"Jianfan, based on the surveillance footage, the suspect showed no hesitation in killing Chen Shufen and acted similarly with Yang Mingquan."

"Therefore, if I’m right, he’s very dangerous. Also, Chen Shufen and Yang Mingquan must share a common trait that triggered their murder. I hope you can compare some of their information for any overlap or unique similarity."

"But this might be a major task, so you may need to work overtime."
