After Tang Ying finished explaining, Zhang Meng no longer concealed it and admitted that he and Tang Ying had planned the matter together.
Now, the Wang Fu murder case has finally been completely revealed.
After the interrogation ended, Luo Fei returned to the office of Team One, with a somewhat solemn expression on his face.
Just as he got back to his position, his consciousness immediately entered the system.
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for spending 10,000 Gold Coins in the system shop. Novice period: ended. The Host has received a novice period reward, a rare and precious Secret Technique: Eye of Sin, which has been fused with the Host."
"Ding, congratulations to the Host for solving the Wang Fu murder case and earning 400 Gold Coins (Note: As the Host has spent 10,000 Gold Coins in the system shop, the Host will no longer enjoy the fivefold Gold Coins novice benefit in subsequent case solutions)"
Looking at the two messages, Luo Fei’s expression was somewhat serious.
Luo Fei did not know what the Eye of Sin was or what function it had for now, but he knew that it would be significantly harder for him to earn Gold Coins in the future, so Luo Fei was not in a good mood at the moment.
After calming himself down a bit, Luo Fei began to explore the newly acquired skill, which the system had evaluated as a rare and precious Secret Technique: Eye of Sin. However, after exploring for a long time, Luo Fei felt that his eyes hadn’t changed at all.
He inquired with the system, but the system had no response whatsoever.
"Eye of Sin, Eye of Sin, what is its purpose exactly?" Luo Fei was quietly guessing at his desk when suddenly a thought struck him. The Eye of Sin, as the name implies, might only react when seeing sinister deeds.
The more he thought about it, the more likely Luo Fei felt this was. To test his idea, Luo Fei could no longer sit still and went straight to the detention center.
Many criminal prisoners were held at the detention center, including Zhang Meng and Tang Ying, who had just been arrested.
In the first cell, Luo Fei saw Tang Ying, who was quietly sitting in the corner.
From the first glance at Tang Ying, Luo Fei stopped. He finally understood what the Eye of Sin meant.
In Luo Fei’s eyes, Tang Ying’s head was shrouded in a black mist, with a human-like figure at the center. It looked like a baby, and it seemed to be asleep.
Luo Fei moved to the second cell, where Zhang Meng was held. Immediately, he noticed a similar black mist over Zhang Meng’s head, with a central figure larger and more realistic compared to Tang Ying’s.
Half an hour later, Luo Fei finally understood the ability of the Eye of Sin.
Simply put, any criminal would have black mist over their head, with denser mist indicating more serious crimes, potentially forming a figure, which the Eye of Sin could see.
Although Luo Fei was previously frustrated by the difficulty of earning Gold Coins, the exciting feeling of discovering the amazing ability of the Eye of Sin overshadowed that. The difficulty of earning Gold Coins seemed trivial in comparison.
With this skill, Luo Fei felt his future was bright.
"Luo Fei, you really steal the limelight again this time. I never thought there was such a hidden truth behind the Wang Fu case. If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid the hidden truth would follow Zhang Meng straight into prison and never be known," Wang Lei said with admiration to Luo Fei as he and Xia Zheng entered from outside.
Xia Zheng continued, "I’m only concerned about how much bonus we’ll get this month; it affects my monthly living standard. Wang Lei, don’t you think solving the Wang Fu case is mostly thanks to our team? Shouldn’t we get the biggest share of the bonus?"
Wang Lei nodded, "Of course. Luo Fei found the clues to both the victim and the suspect, the suspect was captured by our team in Zijiang Province, and Tang Ying was also uncovered by Luo Fei—this case’s credit is ninety percent ours. Among this ninety percent, fifty percent credit goes to Luo Fei, thirty percent to the captain, and the remaining ten percent belongs to you, Zhong Jun, and me."
"I know, but why tell me that now? I just want to know how much bonus I’ll get for this case."
Luo Fei didn’t comment and just watched them joke around. However, if you paid attention, you’d notice Luo Fei’s mind was elsewhere.
At five, Luo Fei went home on time. Wu Yan prepared a table full of dishes, claiming to want to give Luo Fei a good treat as he hardly had time to eat at home due to being busy with the Wang Fu case.
"You’ve been so busy lately; you’ve lost weight," Wu Yan said, feeling concerned as she watched Luo Fei eat.
"Xiaoxiao, did your brother lose weight?" Luo Fei asked Luo Xiaoxiao.
Luo Xiaoxiao shook her head, "No."
"See, Mom!" Luo Fei said with a laugh.
Wu Yan gave Luo Xiaoxiao a glare and retorted indignantly, "What does Xiaoxiao know! You’ve been working so hard; how could you not lose weight? Eat more so you won’t exhaust yourself."
Luo Fei nodded, "Don’t worry, Mom. We’ve just been particularly busy recently; it won’t be later."
The next morning, Yang Su was again the first to arrive at the Team One office, followed by Luo Fei.
At eight, Zhao Donglai called everyone to the meeting room for a summary meeting. Every team had to speak to summarize their gains and reflections regarding the case.
At eight, the summary meeting on the Wang Fu murder case began.
Zhao Donglai was the first to speak.
"As the team captain, I will speak first. I want to say that in the Wang Fu murder case, my performance as a captain was unsatisfactory, but fortunately, many members of our team are outstanding, allowing us to solve the case so swiftly."
"Since cross-province murder cases aren’t common, we focused our investigations on local missing persons when identifying the victim, not thoroughly exploring outsiders, which delayed the breakthrough in identifying the victim. I didn’t consider this adequately, and that’s my responsibility as team captain."
"Conversely, Luo Fei performed well on this point. He fully utilized his initiative, considered thoroughly, and worked tirelessly without fear of hardship to investigate. Due to his efforts, we identified both the victim and the suspect and successfully captured Zhang Meng."
"Additionally, as captain, once Zhang Meng confessed, I became complacent, failing to analyze and verify the obvious loopholes in his confession, almost missing another suspect hidden in this case. This was also my mistake," Zhao Donglai spoke sincerely.
Then Zhao Donglai continued, "Similarly, Luo Fei excelled in this aspect. This is my second time to praise Luo Fei. He was transferred to our criminal investigation team from the police station not long ago, so he hasn’t been here for long. Yet, his work capabilities and attitude demonstrated in this case are commendable, not only for all of you but also for myself to learn from."
Sitting, Luo Fei felt a bit embarrassed hearing Zhao Donglai’s praises and noticing colleagues glancing at him.
