Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 547 - 269: Wax Figures Running in the Fog_2

Chapter 547: Chapter 269: Wax Figures Running in the Fog_2
However, it’s clear that Luo Fei isn’t interested in their explanation.
This foggy weather may be caused by the recent climate, although rare, it’s not impossible.
The temperature around Changyan Road is also quite unusual, as long as there is no heavy haze, it’s fine.
But the so-called wax figures running around in people’s sight is a bit bizarre. Although the situation here cannot be seen clearly, it’s ultimately improper, affecting traffic, and certainly posing a safety hazard.
"Old Luo, look, there’s a new video."
Li Jun came over with his phone, and this time it’s quite serious.
"It seems there’s a group of thrill-seekers riding motorcycles around the area every day, and the so-called wax figure incident has also started appearing in the urban village on Changyan Road."
Luo Fei frowned when he heard this, took the phone, and saw a video with over a hundred thousand likes.
It was some bikers riding their motorcycles around the urban village. Since it was already afternoon, the fog was thin, but suddenly a figure entered the camera from a distance.
It didn’t look like a normal person running but rather moving and floating.
Stiff, unable to move its limbs, yet dashing like the wind, giving an extremely eerie feeling... something was increasingly wrong.
"Old Li, didn’t you notice, this thing runs too fast."
"Even if it’s a remote-controlled robot, it shouldn’t be crossing the road at such a speed. The surrounding environment isn’t exactly deserted; there are still people. Isn’t there any witness at all?"
Li Jun shook his head.
He had searched a lot of videos online, and indeed, there was not a single witness who could confirm where these life-like wax statues that looked like people went.
All that is known is that when this thing runs back and forth, it is extremely fast, only a vague outline can be seen.
"Strange, could it really be a marketing tactic by the wax museum’s director? This is too dangerous, car accidents and mishaps can easily occur on motorways."
"This is a typical problem; don’t people realize it?"
Listening to Luo Fei’s lamentation, Li Jun also turned off his phone, and their police instincts told them there’s something suspicious going on.
"Shall we go take a look?"
"Sure!"
"There’s no urgent case that requires our attention right now, so it’s a good time to go over and have a look, maybe conduct a simple investigation."
As the two were discussing this, Zhang Wei and Lin Jie had already approached, listening with scheming smiles on their faces.
As soon as Luo Fei and Li Jun finished discussing, they turned and saw these two smiling at them.
Since they had already heard everything, they had no choice but to include them.
But someone still needs to be on duty for now.
Otherwise, if the dispatch center and alarm center receive a , and there’s no one available to promptly respond, it would be troublesome.
Ten minutes later, Liao Xingyu, who was sending documents to Zhao Donglai, returned, and immediately saw a note on his desk.
"Team leader Liao, our team plus the second team have headed out to investigate the mysterious wax museum incident. If there’s anything, call us immediately. Duty is yours, our brother, it’s in your heart."
Seeing their message, Liao Xingyu couldn’t help but chuckle wryly, shaking his head helplessly.
When they arrived at the wax museum on Changyan Road, everyone sighed in relief.
The road was indeed difficult!
Because the temperature was still low and the warming thaw seemed delayed this year, the surface was particularly slippery, combined with surrounding snow and light fog in sight...
"What’s with this damn weather, how annoying."
Zhang Wei directly complained, his previous good mood from the undercover operation halved due to the unpleasant drive along the way.
Upon arriving at the wax museum, just as they pushed the door open...
"Oh my god, is this... a market?"
Lin Jie was the first to complain after seeing the scene, and He Xin, Zhang Wei, and Li Jun beside him all looked shocked.
If it weren’t for the fact that the statues on the platform could barely be distinguished from the passing pedestrians on the road, they might have been confused.
The crowd was unbelievably large, as if at a market fair.
"Shouldn’t it have been a few days already? Why is it that under the influence of that weird gimmick, more and more people are coming, those smart folks on the phone who see through the truth? "
"Just talk, curiosity drives action, as long as one person wants to come, a group of friends will be brought along; it’s how social groups are. "
Luo Fei couldn’t help but marvel at the many wax statues around him, it’s truly not simple.
Some lifelike models were displayed before them, if not for their unblinking eyes and somewhat stiff bodies, one might mistake them for real people.
The effect of these wax figures was indeed remarkable, nearby onlookers were clicking their tongues in admiration.
From the skin texture to the mold creation, to the final touch-ups and configurations, the level was extremely high, the ticket money was well spent.
Zhang Wei and others continuously wove among the various statues, some taking group photos, others snapping pictures, making for quite a lively scene.
"Come, look at this, simply beautiful, if it were a real person, I’d propose immediately."
"Don’t worry, if this disguise were a real person, they’d start a career, wouldn’t fancy you."
"If you can’t speak nicely, say less... wow, look at that large anime sculpture, a life-size wax figure replica."
"That’s impressive, must have taken a lot of effort, it’s truly stunning."
While some team members were engrossed, Luo Fei suddenly caught a very distinctive whiff.
Blood!
The scent of fresh blood, unmistakable! His sense of smell couldn’t be wrong, why was there a scent of blood here?
The nearby guide saw Luo Fei a bit stunned, thinking he encountered some trouble, approached to check on him.
"Sir? Do you need any help?"
"Uh, nothing, where’s the restroom here?"
"It’s over there, let me take you."
"Uh, no need."
Luo Fei declined the offer, he could go by himself.
Because he could sense that the bloody smell mixed with a bit of disinfectant odor, along with diluted scent from water, it was probably a mixed odor from the restroom.
The wax museum had various smells, like metal, thick glue material smells, pine wax filling, and some raw materials’ melting mixed odor...
But the bloody smell was entirely different, that’s why he could distinguish it.
Upon entering the restroom, Luo Fei instantly felt a pervasive odor hit him.
An overwhelming sense of blood, heavy enough to almost envelop him.
Even though the smell had concentrated due to the surrounding environment, he had just magnified his sense of smell multiple times, fully isolating it.
The washbasin, trash can, restroom door handles, even the gaps next to the floor tiles.
He seriously suspected it was the scene of a homicide and burial case.
Something was amiss, seriously amiss.
Luo Fei was about to start profiling the situation when suddenly his phone rang, it was Li Jun.
"Old Luo, there’s an accident at the street corner on Changyan Road, let’s go take a look, seems like a car crash."
"On the way."
Such incidents usually involved traffic police, but Luo Fei’s instincts told him that situations on Changyan Road couldn’t be generalized, maybe it was something special.
Li Jun probably shared the same instinctive sensitivity and concern, which was why he called him over.
After meeting in the hall, the two rushed to the accident scene.
Luo Fei hadn’t told Li Jun about the blood smell he detected in the restroom as the situation was still unclear.
The details of what was happening required further investigation.
For now, tackling the immediate issue was the right move.
If conditions allowed, he could return later for a solo investigation, since the wax museum was entirely open to the public.
When they arrived at the incident site, the area was already cordoned off with police tape, and the traffic police were quick to respond.
The accident occurred by the roadside, a car had crashed into a nearby pillar, and two figures lay a short distance away.
However, the figures looked quite stiff, despite being on the ground, there was no change to the limbs or body.
Li Jun walked over for a closer look, his eyes reflecting confusion.
"These are two... wax figures?"
