Diary of a Criminal Investigator

Chapter 73: Bolt from the Blue


The profession of being an undercover agent was something Lu Chuan only saw in movies before college.

At that time, being undercover felt to Lu Chuan like it was similar to being a spy or an operative.

Either equipped with high-tech gadgets or covered in tattoos and gold chains.

But after entering the Public Security University, Lu Chuan realized that undercover agents are just people.

Ordinary people.

On the eve of their graduation, they had a special class on confidentiality.

The course had a nice name: The Self-Cultivation of a Seed Player.

Initially, Lu Chuan thought such things had nothing to do with him or anyone he knew.

However, Zhao Tianyu's speculation and Wang Feng's expression told him that Wang Feng had indeed been chosen.

"It's really nothing, just learned a few more things."

Wang Feng downed a glass of beer, burped, and neither confirmed nor denied it.

"Next time we meet, there's no need to pretend you don't know me."

With a glass of beer down, Wang Feng's expression relaxed a lot: "Anyway, in a few days, I should be dismissed."

Should be dismissed.

This sentence confirmed Zhao Tianyu's guess.

Who can predict that they will be dismissed?

There must be a special reason.

Yang Lin gave a thumbs-up: "Crazy one, come back safely!"

"We won't ask for details, just come back to us!"

Lu Chuan picked up his glass and downed it.

That night, the four of them drank until late.

Talked about a lot of fun things from their university days.

The main topics… mostly centered around the policewomen.

Actually, during university, these policewomen didn't really have much to do with the four of them.

If anyone had the most say about policewomen, it should be Lu Chuan.

The moniker "Death Duo" was not only famous in the Criminal Investigation Team but also known in the local police stations.

Yang Lin slurred: "Have you two heard of the 'Death Duo' from the Criminal Investigation Team?"

Zhao Tianyu breathed out a puff of alcoholic air: "I don't know, but my police dog has heard of it, Forensic Doctor Shen."

"Old Lu, were you cheating back in school, you weren't that impressive back then."

Lu Chuan looked at Zhao Tianyu with a bit of resentment.

You guessed right, I was indeed cheating.

The four of them with arms over each other, singing loudly and carelessly, bidding farewell to Wang Feng.

What kind of people will the anti-narcotics undercover deal with?

The atmosphere of today's drinking session seemed lively but felt a bit tragic in reality.

In fact, among the four members of Lu Chuan's dormitory, only Yang Lin's family conditions were average; the other three came from well-off families.

Although Wang Feng is not a rich second generation, his parents both work in the oil industry.

The family doesn't lack money.

Wang Feng is also an only child, it's not an exaggeration to say that he was spoiled and pampered.

But some things always need someone to do.

Wang Feng is not a hero; he is just an ordinary newbie in the anti-narcotics police force.

When the work demands it, after the leader talks, he goes and does it.

As a police officer, you do what the orders say.

Otherwise, why swear on the police badge when joining the force?

Next time we meet, I hope it's under sunny skies.

The next morning.

Lu Chuan arrived at the team early as usual.

Unlike summer, in early winter, the weather was cold, and riding a shared bike to work was no longer exercise but rather a torment.

So now, Lu Chuan drives to work every day.

Of course, it's not that flashy limited edition Porsche 911, nor is it the luxurious and extravagant Bentley.

Lu Chuan's fondness for cars is no different from any other man.

The male members of the third generation of the Lu Family all share similar hobbies.

Therefore, there are quite a few stockpiled in each villa's underground garage.

Recently, Lu Chuan chose a Porsche Cayenne as a commuting vehicle.

This matches his identity as the third generation of the Qiangsheng Group and is not as ostentatious as imagined.

Of course, this is compared to a Bentley; compared to the private cars driven by other detectives in the Criminal Investigation Team, it still seems somewhat flashy.

Liu Guodong was not there yet, Yang Sen and Old Bai should be swaying on the bus by this time.

As usual, Lu Chuan cleaned the office, wiping the table, tending to the flamingo-lily.

Speaking of which, with winter coming, the flamingo-lily in the office appears even more vibrant.

The vivid red leaves stretched out, striving to display itself.

Bang!

The violent pushing of the office door startled Lu Chuan, causing his hand pouring water to slightly tremble, splashing three droplets.

It was Liu Guodong, his eyes anxious, revealing a gravity Lu Chuan had never seen before.

"Come with me, something has happened!"

Longjiang Road.

Lu Chuan and Liu Guodong arrived in a professional crime scene investigation vehicle, and by the time they reached the scene, traffic police were already handling the situation.

At this moment, not just the Criminal Investigation Team, but also people from the High-tech Zone Criminal Investigation Team were present.

"Captain Zhang, what's the specific situation?"

Zhang Yongzhi, the captain of the Haizhou City Public Security Bureau's traffic police team, had an extremely solemn expression.

"This section has very little traffic; the perpetrator has already fled after the incident, and our people are investigating the surveillance."

Zhang Yongzhi did not mention the condition of the injured because by the time they received the report, the person was already gone.

"Master..."

On the way there, Lu Chuan already knew who was involved in the incident.

Song Kun, a senior investigator of the High-tech Zone Criminal Investigation Team.

He spent his whole life on the front line, and it was said that he was due to retire in just over three months.

Now, having had a car accident, he died on the spot.

Currently, the body is still laid on the roadside, surrounded by people from the High-tech Zone Criminal Investigation Team.

"Don't ask, get to work first."

Liu Guodong knew Song Kun; although they weren't familiar, they had spoken a few times.

Lu Chuan nodded and began to work.

The entire scene was chaotic, with scattered front bumper fragments and apples littered around.

And crimson blood stains.

Yuan Shaokang's eyes were bloodshot, his face a purplish hue: "What happened, what really happened?"

"Wasn't Old Song investigating fingerprints on the missing Gao Sheng case?"

"What was he doing on Longjiang Road?"

"Li Kai! You were his apprentice, why weren't you with him?"

"I..."

Yuan Shaokang stood before a middle-aged policeman whose eyes were red and wrinkles soaked with tears: "Master comes to this orphanage every week..."

"He came to deliver apples..."

Wailing... wailing...

Since joining the police force, Li Kai had been following Song Kun, who personally trained him, and he is now a squad leader in the Criminal Investigation Team.

Song Kun was in Li Kai's squad.

At this moment, Li Kai cried like a child, the helpless and suppressed sounds making everyone feel tight in their hearts.

Old Song... was about to retire in three months!

"Investigate!"

"All of you, investigate for me!"

"Dig three feet deep, find me that damned hit-and-run driver!"

The situation at the Criminal Investigation Team was visible to everyone, but no one could step forward to comfort them.

Sorrow is useless; what everyone can do now is find the hit-and-run driver.

Bring him to justice.

Forensic Doctor Shen had already examined Song Kun's body, preliminarily determining that the cause of death was a skull fracture and cervical vertebrae fracture.

The injuries on his body were consistent with various high-speed collision characteristics.

Lu Chuan, on the other hand, focused his attention on the tire marks on the road.

The point of impact was confirmed by the traffic police.

Based on the years of experience of the traffic police, the possibility of an accidental traffic accident was high.

The vehicle was traveling at high speed, the brake marks were obvious, but it clearly didn't stop completely, leading to the accident.

Preliminary judgment suggested it was indeed an accident.

However, Lu Chuan's attention was on a street corner a hundred meters away.

"Master, there seems to be something wrong here."
