Unexpectedly, when Fang Zhiruo heard what Luo Chao said, she surprisingly put on an expression of concern for the intellectually challenged and looked at Luo Chao with sympathy.
Immediately, she flipped through a file in her hand and asked, "Your name is Luo Chao?"
Luo Chao nodded, unsure of what tricks Fang Zhiruo was playing.
"The data says you were a cook in the army?" Fang Zhiruo asked without looking up from the file.
"That's right." Luo Chao continued to nod.
"According to the military doctor's certification, this so-called army cook named Luo Chao suffers from severe paranoid schizophrenia, with the specific symptom of claiming to be the Soldier King of the Dragon Fang Team, which is why he was discharged from the army."
Fang Zhiruo read from the file in her hand, then looked up strangely at Luo Chao, "What team did you just say you were from?"
"Damn it!" Luo Chao knew he was being set up as soon as he heard the words.
It turned out that Commander Liu had discharged Luo Chao from the army and created a fake discharge certificate to maintain the secrecy of the mission and hide the existence of the Dragon Fang Team!
At the same time, Fang Zhiruo had already taken out her phone, "Hello, Huahai City Mental Hospital? We have a patient here with paranoid schizophrenia having an episode..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Luo Chao raised his hands and shouted loudly, then seriously said, "You don't have to believe me, but how do you explain your behavior of breaking into a private home at midnight? I have evidence, and I can report you anytime!"
"Report me? Mr. Luo Chao, do you even know what I do?" Fang Zhiruo probed.
"Aren't you a police officer!" Luo Chao answered without hesitation.
"You're only half right." The interrogation room door suddenly opened, and a sturdy, sharp-eyed middle-aged man walked in.
Luo Chao scrutinized the distinguished middle-aged man in front of him, feeling he had seen him somewhere before.
"Haven't we met somewhere?" Luo Chao asked.
"Hmph." The middle-aged man laughed, then took a bone pendant from around his neck and placed it in Luo Chao's hand.
It was an animal's tooth, indistinguishable from the appearance which animal it belonged to.
But Luo Chao immediately recognized it as a Siberian Snow Wolf King's tooth!
Possessing this tooth meant that the middle-aged man in front of him was a former Soldier King inducted into the Dragon Fang Team's Retired Soldier King Hall!
"You used to be in the Dragon Fang Team too?!" Luo Chao exclaimed.
No wonder Luo Chao felt this middle-aged man looked familiar; he now recalled the photo hanging in the Dragon Fang Team's Retired Soldier King Hall was of this man!
Ouyang Tian, male, 45 years old, ranked third in the Dragon Fang Team's historical Soldier King strength ranking!
Ouyang Tian nodded indifferently, "Young man, recognizing this pendant is proof you are also from the Dragon Fang Team! I wonder how Commander Liu has been doing lately?"
"Good, very good! That guy, old in age but not in spirit!" Luo Chao replied with an awkward smile.
Luo Chao recalled that the day before he left the army, Commander Liu had secretly asked him for a female soldier dormitory strategy.
Luo Chao had randomly written a strategy for Commander Liu, not knowing if he ever entered the female dormitory or got beaten up by the female soldiers...
Fang Zhiruo watched Ouyang Tian and Luo Chao chatting happily and couldn't help but widen her eyes.
She pointed at Luo Chao and asked Ouyang Tian, "Leader, is he really a Soldier King of the Dragon Fang Team? Didn't the file say he was just a cook in the army?"
"What?" Luo Chao raised his head and countered first, "Do you look down upon cooks? Can't a cook be a Soldier King?"
"You... hmph!" Fang Zhiruo couldn't argue with Luo Chao, so she simply turned her head away.
"Hey! Zhiruo, I'm not sure what misunderstanding you guys have, but since Mr. Luo is from the Dragon Fang Team, why don't you remove his handcuffs?" Ouyang Tian said seriously to Fang Zhiruo.
"No need, Senior Ouyang, I'll do it myself."
Having said that, Luo Chao took a pen from the table and slightly twisted it in the handcuff's keyhole, and the handcuffs easily unlocked.
"Not bad, not bad! You are indeed someone from the Dragon Fang Team, reminiscent of my old style!"
Ouyang Tian, seeing Luo Chao casually open the handcuffs with just a pen, finally relaxed his last bit of vigilance and patted Luo Chao's shoulder with satisfaction.
Tossing the handcuffs aside, Luo Chao asked, "Senior Ouyang, you said earlier that I was only half right; what did you mean by that?"
Upon hearing Luo Chao's question, Ouyang Tian's expression suddenly turned serious.
Then he stood up, locked the interrogation room door, and unplugged the power cord of the surveillance camera inside the room.
Seeing Ouyang Tian's actions, Fang Zhiruo also cooperatively drew the blinds of the interrogation room's window.
"Luo Chao, you were present at the crime scene of the young master of the Wu Group, Wu Yunfei, right?" Ouyang Tian asked.
"Yes, I was there and I saw how he died with my own eyes." Facing a retired senior of the Dragon Fang Team, Luo Chao spoke honestly.
Ouyang Tian nodded thoughtfully, "You should also know about the recent case of rich kids being murdered in succession in Huahai City, right?"
"Yes! I read the news in the paper yesterday, and it seems the state even sent a task force." While speaking, Luo Chao glanced suspiciously at Fang Zhiruo.
"Good that you know; considering you are also part of the Dragon Fang Team, I'll tell you. Actually, I'm the head of the task force that the state sent to Huahai City for this case." Ouyang Tian finally revealed his current identity.
"And your suspicion of Officer Fang is completely unnecessary; she is not only an excellent police officer but also a task force member and one of my trusted aides!" Ouyang Tian introduced.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chao felt extremely embarrassed; it turned out Fang Zhiruo was a task force member all along!
Yet he still suspected her of being the perpetrator; what a colossal misunderstanding!
At this time, Fang Zhiruo couldn't help but sarcastically comment, "Tsk, an army cook playing detective! If you became a cop, who knows how many wrongful convictions you'd cause!"
Luo Chao laughed helplessly, then tossed Fang Zhiruo's police badge back to her, saying casually, "You still have a set of police uniforms with me; if you don't want them, I'll let someone use them for cosplay!"
"Hmph!" Fang Zhiruo was too angry to respond and just turned her head away again.
Continuing, Luo Chao asked Ouyang Tian, "Senior, since Miss Fang is a task force member, why did she break into Lin Yun's villa in the middle of the night?"
Ouyang Tian sighed and explained, "According to our task force's intelligence, the residences of the seven murdered rich kids all exploded after their deaths."
"This has been a huge hindrance to our investigation. So far, we only know the perpetrator used devices like wiretaps and spy cameras to monitor all the victims' actions before their deaths."
"However, we have no clue about the specific models and brands of these devices because the previous explosion sites were too severely damaged!"
Luo Chao nodded thoughtfully, "So, after an explosion occurred at Lin Yun's villa that day and you found the villa still intact, you thought it was because the perpetrator's bomb malfunctioned and hence sent Officer Fang to investigate overnight?"
"That's right!" At this point, Fang Zhiruo couldn't help but chime in again, "Who knew I'd run into a pervert like you!"
