Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 665 - 327: Feelings Within the Gap

Sitting down slowly beside the sofa, Luo Fei propped his hands on his forehead and began to contemplate, while his mind opened up.

In the entire space of consciousness, only he and the pool beside him remained. Even at this moment, the bloody scent pervading the depths of his mind started to overwhelm his perception.

All the imaginations and speculations whirled rapidly at this moment.

In an individual's closed room and unvisited environment, such a gruesome incident could occur—anyone's first reaction would be suicide.

But various signs suggest it's not a suicide.

Then there must be some force driving the death!

This force originated from outside but left no trace.

What was the reason? Was it instigated by someone or due to some sort of agreement? This seems unlikely, after all, with Deng Kaiwen's background and Deng Chao's influence, it couldn't have come to this.

Could it be due to the circumstances of those around him? Firstly, since Deng Kaiwen is an only child, he is destined to inherit his father's business, so there are no blood relative competitors.

Secondly, the data on the other party doesn't reveal any particular target that poses a threat.

If we exclude these factors, then it must involve a love affair, that is, emotional entanglement between men and women.

Although this line of thought cannot be the first conjecture, it can fill the gaps.

Since all other issues have been temporarily ruled out, we should start from Deng Kaiwen's personal romantic issues.

Although Jiangzhou City's gossip columns often mention the other party, it is said that the main rumors focus on his extravagance and flaunting wealth.

The public knows little about his romantic liaisons or scandals, and no one even knows who his legitimate girlfriend is.

"This trust fund kid is indeed quite interesting."

"It seems there are indeed some deep matters worth digging into here."

As Luo Fei pondered the reasons behind the death, suddenly Zhang Wei and the others shouted, as if they had made a new discovery.

So he quickly went over to see three people surrounding a spot near the edge of the pool.

There lay an empty cup, but the water marks inside suggested it had previously contained red wine, and surprisingly, this type of red wine contained some sediment, leaving a light red mark on the cup's inner wall.

Although none of them were connoisseurs of high-end red wine, from the situation at the scene, it could be inferred that this wine was not particularly top-notch.

At least the residue was enough to prove the presence of certain inferior components.

"Turns out, even the rich trust fund kids can't appreciate wine, hahaha."

He Xin first laughed and teased.

The others also laughed; indeed, this matter could be regarded as an amusing anecdote.

But Luo Fei was already leaning over the cup, for he had already detected a peculiar scent coming from it.

This scent had almost completely dissipated with the evaporation of the wine aroma.

With the house ventilated over these two days, the scene had been somewhat disturbed, making it impossible for him to discern the components of the scent.

However, the remaining hint of it paralyzed his nerves slightly, followed by a feeling of dizziness.

Something feels off, very off.

Either it's a harmful stimulant or drugs that block mental perception; this initial conclusion could be drawn from his olfactory analysis.

It is known that it's the scent of drugs, and the reason the wine was turbid is due to the addition of other substances.

Although the specific components are temporarily unknown, it can be determined that whatever Deng Kaiwen consumed had definitely been spiked, and this spiking person must be Deng Kaiwen himself.

"Listen to me..."

Luo Fei recounted his findings, leaving the others dumbfounded—could such a subtle scent be detected?

Incredible! Simply incredible.

"Team leader, you're incredible."

"We should take this cup back for examination; we didn't notice it before. Looks like we should bring a police dog for such closed-room cases in the future; it seems to be quite useful."

While speaking, Luo Fei's face looked grim.

At this point, everyone realized their words were somewhat inappropriate and awkwardly laughed. Luo Fei naturally didn't pay much mind to it.

The following tasks became much easier; all they needed to do was test what was in the cup when they returned.

If there was indeed an effect from drugs, then this provided an opportunity to trace and uncover the truth about the other's death.

As they took the cup away, Luo Fei unexpectedly noticed a finely crafted ashtray on the coffee table next to it.

Such ashtrays were common in clubs.

However, the ashes inside didn't seem like the residue from burnt cigarettes; the scattered, incomplete white-gray remnants seemed rather special.

Of course, it was just a hurried glance; after all, it's common for such trust fund kids to burn incense in certain places.

Moreover, an open pack of Qingwenhong incense sticks and a lighter were soon found in the corner.

This is a product used for adjusting the room's ambiance, albeit expensive.

Pursuing quality enjoyment is what they do; there's no need to be overly concerned.

Overreacting is also a cardinal mistake when investigating and solving cases.

When Luo Fei and the others stepped out of the room, there was an elderly white-haired gentleman beside Manager Li.

Everyone recognized him at once—he was the city's renowned entrepreneur, and one of the top billionaires, Deng Chao, Deng Kaiwen's biological father.
