Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 518 - 255 Prisoner in the Wine Cellar_2

Chapter 518: Chapter 255 Prisoner in the Wine Cellar_2
Since someone is already monitoring here, Luo Fei wasn’t planning on continuing to tangle with them.
The longer he stays, the more likely he is to arouse their suspicion.
Although he didn’t know what other secrets the wine estate still concealed, he faintly felt that the missing people were likely connected to this place.
If that’s the case, then special actions must be taken...
"Mr. Xue, sorry, where is the restroom?"
Luo Fei looked towards the direction of the door and asked.
Sure enough, Xue Dongchuan came over immediately; although this living room was large, appearing so quickly here was enough to indicate something.
"Uh, the restroom... Butler, lead the way, take Officer Luo there."
"Okay."
A middle-aged man jogged over, taking Luo Fei in another direction.
Everything was as Luo Fei anticipated; within the wine estate, anywhere could be close—dining room, bedroom no problem—but the restroom area must be special.
Because even if one wants to create a rational layout design, the restroom area has to be moved aside.
Luo Fei thought of this as soon as he returned to the manor.
Below is the wine cellar; the floor drain and sewer pipes must be avoided, so the restroom position surely can’t be central.
As expected, they circled twice before entering the restroom from behind.
Judging by the distance, they should be almost dozens of meters beyond the living room’s outer area.
"Officer Luo, if you need anything, just let me know."
"Alright."
Watching the other stand in the nearby courtyard, Luo Fei also turned in, surprised by the internal restroom environment, with slightly high walls that seemed peculiar.
Roughly estimating the position, Luo Fei stepped forward, bracing the window with one hand, supporting himself to move his body upward.
At the moment he got close to the top, his gaze changed.
The scene outside gave him a shock for the first time.
No wonder the restroom’s height had to be unique; it turned out to be to block the view, for in the walled area outside were four cars parked, appearing like a separately designed garage.
Staring at the four vehicles, half of the mysteries in Luo Fei’s mind were immediately solved.
These four cars were precisely Wang Xiao and their vehicles: one SUV, two black luxury sedans, and one white car.
Moreover, these four cars looked exactly as he previously predicted.
The SUV was intact, while the two black sedans were battered, signs of scrapes and bumps everywhere, one windshield half shattered, and the other had two tires blown...
This fit the area they traversed; it seems they had indeed forcefully driven through.
To avoid attracting attention, they didn’t return the same way, so despite encountering all kinds of knocks and scrapes, they had to drive the cars back.
Looks like those four indeed ended up in Xue Dongchuan’s hands.
And they were likely in this wine estate, otherwise, there was no need to leave the cars here and raise suspicion.
"Officer Luo... how’s it going?"
From outside came the butler’s voice; it’s clear this was directed at him, a sly old fox who never took his eyes off here.
Next moment, the butler actually walked directly in.
Luo Fei was washing hands at the sink, not turning back.
"I’m all done."
The butler nodded with a smile, subsequently retreating, but the next moment Luo Fei heard whispers from outside.
Not very clear, but certainly the butler was communicating with Xue Dongchuan.
Composing his emotions, Luo Fei, calm and collected, walked out.
The final move to alarm was to lure the tiger for the hunt—the only chance to find flaws.
"Mr. Xue, something seems burnt behind the restroom. The smell is peculiar; would you like to take a look..."
"What?"
Outside the door, Xue Dongchuan and the butler’s faces showed surprise upon hearing this; they seemed to have thought of something and prepared to investigate, suddenly realizing Luo Fei was standing there too.
"Officer Luo, it seems there’s been an accident behind; we need to inspect it."
"Out the courtyard, right to the side door, so I won’t be seeing you off."
Luo Fei nodded.
"Alright, don’t trouble yourselves."
Following that, Luo Fei walked outside, and the pair quickly rushed to the garage.
Luo Fei smiled faintly; it seems his guess was correct.
Those four cars were like timed bombs; they feared exposure following any incident, and now it’s his time.
Just when they turned away, Luo Fei spun abruptly, executing a sudden return strike.
If he could catch them in the act, then this case would be virtually solved.
Moving along the wall carefully, Luo Fei slowly approached.
The restroom’s behind garage was a closed area; entering it, one must go from the garage door’s location, so Luo Fei concluded they were there checking.
Slowly approaching, lowering his body, holding his breath...
Everything must be done cautiously; otherwise, if he exposed himself first, all would be in vain.
Now’s the time!
Luo Fei suddenly thrust his body forward to appear right in front of the garage, but in sight was only Xue Dongchuan.
The butler had vanished.
"Officer Luo, why have you returned?"
The opponent turned slowly, shrouded in sinister intent, gazing with hidden malice.
But the sudden intense crisis around was what surprised Luo Fei most; when had someone already circled behind him!
The wind noise howled; a metal rod skimmed overhead.
That was an ambush from behind!
Feeling the impending danger in next instant, Luo Fei’s body reacted, raising a leg in midair, executing a spinning kick to send the attacker aside.
Boom—
Looking towards the sound, he saw the butler leaning aside, grimacing in pain, unable to move.
This brief glance let Xue Dongchuan grasp the opportunity.
The opponent dashed forward fiercely, wielding a folded shovel, delivering a powerful downward chop towards Luo Fei’s forehead.
Swoosh—
In less than a second, Luo Fei responded, raising his hands to intercept, and directly knocked the weapon from the opponent’s grip.
"You..."
But immediately the butler rushed from the side; their coordination was evident, showing great teamwork.
One in front, one at the side, clearly attempting to trap him.
In such circumstances, Luo Fei quickly withdrew, flipping backward and landing stably.
But suddenly, a mechanism activation sound came from beneath; swiftly transmitted along below him.
Nearing three-seconds of response time, it’s sufficient!
Yet Luo Fei wasn’t planning to flee...
This is an opportunity!
As the saying goes, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained"; risking himself was to expose the opponent’s true identity.
Since Xue Dongchuan set up a mechanism within his wine estate, there must be special spaces below, either independently from the wine cellar or within... he must investigate thoroughly.
As the ground opened, Luo Fei’s body lightened, and he descended straight down.
Apart from the whistling wind and the sudden turbulent upsurge, he perceived nothing around him.
With no leverage around, Luo Fei could only rely on himself.
First turning over, bending the waist, lowering the stance while reaching down, and finally landing stably.
Above, the space still allowed some light; he found himself in a dim area, at least five meters from the exit.
At the exit, witnessing everything below, Xue Dongchuan sneered.
"Officer Luo, why did you decide to return?"
"Since you’ve arrived and seen what I don’t want you to see, you can’t easily leave anymore."
Saying this, the opponent rose and triggered the mechanism; the ground closed once more.
Standing in complete darkness, Luo Fei first took a deep breath, then earnestly perceived his surroundings.
Truly now trapped in a confined space with no airflow.
Now with roles reversed, he too became a prisoner.
To have set up such means within his wine estate, Xue Dongchuan was truly tricky.
However, venturing alone was a gamble; being skillful and brave, this situation might indeed be an opportunity!
