Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 662 - 325 The 3rd Appearance_2

At this moment, only after smelling the fresh air outside did they let out a long breath.

Luo Fei inadvertently glanced back, all the colored smoke from the beacon had disappeared...

But in the corner, he saw some crushed bone fragments!

Judging by the appearance, they seemed to have been trampled and touched by the Mountain Badger pack recently, but just one look told him that those were human bones!

Combining this with Ai Jinghua's previous act of hiding people here to let the Mountain Badger feed on them, Luo Fei instantly considered a possibility.

Perhaps the decayed corpse was the woman Ai Jinghua personally laid to rest.

The woman he loved most.

"Officer Luo, shall we just leave first..."

"No, we can't leave any further."

Luo Fei took out his last beacon and launched it into the sky; the rest was up to Zhou Fan and the others.

It wasn't about not daring to continue the journey, but there were five wounded people with them, and no matter how extraordinary his skills were, he couldn't get them all out safely… hence, asking for rescue was the best solution!

"Do you understand now?"

Luo Fei explained his reasoning to them, and everyone nodded repeatedly upon hearing his words.

After settling them down, Luo Fei looked around but couldn't find Ai Jinghua, whom he had cuffed.

Even with her hands bound, it's natural for this lunatic to escape.

Luo Fei's face turned grave, he let out a long sigh - it's troublesome if she got away.

There's no help but to wait for people to come and escort them to safety; at this moment, the safety of these hikers was the top priority.

As long as their safety could be ensured, they could chase her later.

Even if it's in the mountains, Ai Jinghua must be dug out even if the ground is searched three feet deep.

Luo Fei sat quietly waiting.

At this moment, his heart inexplicably calmed down.

For some reason, since entering the mountains, whether rescuing people or pursuing, he always felt a special presence following.

Now that presence disappeared, no matter how he sensed, there was no trace anymore.

Bam—

A gunshot pierced the night sky.

In the valley under the deep night, although many birds and beasts were startled, it still caused new unrest, marking a destined restless night.

"Something's wrong, could it be Zhou Fan and the others encountered the Mountain Badger?"

"But if they fired a gun, how could they fire just one shot? A lone Mountain Badger? It shouldn't be, they should scatter all around when alarmed."

"The sound was loud, with little echo, and after the gunshot, there seemed to be feedback from the bullet's disappearance. Judging by the distance, the target should be around here."

Luo Fei suddenly stood up, warily looking around.

Sniper rifle!

Aim from a high point!

One shot kills, no scent of blood.

Due to height issues, the smell isn't drifting upwards yet, but similarly vanished were the killing intent and the underhanded poised aura.

"Wait, wait a bit more..."

Even though Luo Fei's blood was boiling at this moment and he wanted to search around, he knew better that the five people behind him mattered more, especially since one girl started to run a high fever due to her gunshot wound.

He could only protect her first and use his clothes to keep her warm.

The night wind grew stronger at this moment... besides the rustling of plants, there was no other movement.

Luo Fei was anxiously counting time in his heart.

The colored smoke from the beacon he released earlier was long gone, but as long as Zhou Fan and the others saw it, they would surely rush in.

His radio earpiece had been lost during the fight, something unavoidable.

He could only hope they would hurry up!

After some ten minutes, suddenly familiar shouts and beams of flashlight came from afar.

Li Jun led the way, closely followed by Liao Xingyu and Zhou Fan, and the rest of the officers also headed over, with armed police, firefighters, and medical personnel following them.

Luo Fei's beacon wasn't released without reason, so those waiting outside were all ready to provide support.

"Old Luo!"

Hearing Li Jun's call, Luo Fei immediately perked up.

Qu Ruobo also came over, and seeing Luo Fei standing at the cave entrance, he sighed in relief.

"Brother Fei!"

"Xiaoqu, you came..."

Seeing them all arrive, Luo Fei felt a weight lifted from his heart.

After handing over the people behind him to his colleagues, Luo Fei immediately grabbed a flashlight and ran around; he could already smell the faint scent of blood.

Though it was thin and lingering, his sense of smell allowed him to precisely capture and track it.

After leaping down several meters around a small slope, Luo Fei found Ai Jinghua in the mess of weeds, hands cuffed, with a shotgun discarded to the side.

Her eyes wide with horror and disbelief, under her head was a large bloody hole, already cold as ice.

"Hiss—"

Seeing her death state, Luo Fei drew in a cold breath.

Following the ballistic trajectory, he walked to the side and found a bullet identical to the one on him in a deeply indented spot in the dirt.

Intricately engraved patterns, a solid copper bullet fitted for the M200.

The same familiar method of killing, the familiar aura; sure enough, that sniper had appeared again.

Though not seen for a while, he'd become increasingly familiar with the opponent's crime style.

This guy fired shots wherever he turned up!

The target was either himself or his target, but fundamentally he was on to him.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Luo Fei shook his head helplessly, his eyes becoming serious.

Then he looked at Zhou Fan and the others coming up; they also noticed the dead person on the ground, and all stopped in their tracks.

Ai Jinghua's identity had been confirmed, so everyone knew the reason behind it.

Plus, Qu Ruobo had explained the analysis results to them, so everyone had a basic understanding of the so-called Mountain Martyr legends and subsequent murder happenings.

"Ah, truly a tragedy, it seems even surpassing time can't stop hatred."

"Old Luo, nice shooting." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Liao Xingyu gave a thumbs up.

"I didn't kill her."

"It was done by the owner of this bullet."

Seeing the bullet in Luo Fei's hand, everyone instantly understood what he meant.

A short while ago, Zhao Donglai had explained to them about someone targeting Luo Fei, so everyone kept silent knowing the inside story.

After a brief pause, Liao Xingyu directed others to start arranging Ai Jinghua's body on the ground.

Thus all thirty-three hikers were found, with six dead and the remaining twenty-seven rescued. This adventure ended at the cost of blood.

After handling all affairs, Luo Fei finally saw Qu Ruobo.

"Brother Fei, thank you."

"Thank you for helping me wrap up this case, this experience will stay with me, thank you."

He said, bowing deeply to him; seeing the reverent young man, Luo Fei smiled and patted his shoulder.

As they say, each generation has its heritage. He had unique methods, and Qu Ruobo had extraordinary talent.

His analytical ability and high-level thinking were anomalies within the police force.

If it weren't for him opening his mind timely and researching related cases that inspired him, Ai Jinghua's identity might have remained sealed until her death with no one able to uncover it.

This opportunity tied up the old case from many years ago, allowing both of them to consider this trip accomplished.

"You're pretty good too, Xiaoqu."

"Until we meet again!"

After saying goodbye, Luo Fei signaled everyone to return together.

The case took some time to handle, but ultimately they saved the others in the most extreme way.

On the road, Liao Xingyu and the others were amazed by the issue of dual personalities.

In over ten years, the two personalities had birthed such a demon. A hiker's rescue mission had solved a perverse murder case, and revealed the rumors of the so-called corpse hunter!
