Chapter 19

"Why?" Dai Yan asked.

Xie Yixin, standing beside him, also showed a look of concern.

"Because Inspector Fei started with his bare hands, then grabbed a gun, and finally successfully killed all the armed robbers. Don't you think that's impressive?" Shi Yiran said with a look of admiration. "Now I announce that Inspector Fei is my idol, absolutely my idol!" At the same time, his ambition to pursue Xie had diminished somewhat.

Of course, if there were no romantic feelings between Fei Lun and Xie, Shi Yiran wouldn't mind being a substitute.

"Bare hands?!" Xie Yixin and the other two widened their eyes, almost unable to believe it.

Shi Yiran nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Otherwise, why would I make Inspector Fei my idol? The most impressive thing is that Inspector Fei used an incredibly skillful shooting technique while killing the robbers..."

Li Lidong seemed skeptical and said, "Incredibly skillful!? At most, he shot two people with one bullet. How impressive could that be?"

"One bullet through two people? That's nothing. Inspector Fei used a 'flick shot'!" Shi Yiran said proudly, as if he had used the flick shot himself.

Xie was surprised, "Flick shot?!"

"Yes, madam, a flick shot!" Shi Yiran nodded. "The bullet can go around obstacles and hit the target behind them."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yixin and the other two's expressions froze, even more shocked than before.

Dai Yan was the first to recover, stammering, "So, so the bullet's trajectory is... curved?"

Shi Yiran nodded proudly and said, "Exactly. If you don't believe me, you can ask the other colleagues."

Dai Yan was a bit skeptical. He immediately followed Shi Yiran's example, holding his tray and going elsewhere. He returned shortly, sat down in a daze, and said to Xie and Li, "It's true, a flick shot!"

Xie Yixin, after confirming this from Dai Yan, was slightly surprised again, but secretly gritted her teeth.

You, Fei Lun, no wonder you don't want to take on apprentices. You're hiding such an incredible skill! No, I have to think of a way, a good way, to learn this 'flick shot' skill.

At this moment, Fei Lun entered the cafeteria. Just as he was about to buy a meal, a junior officer who had seen his photo immediately approached and greeted him, "Good day, Inspector Fei!"

"Good day, Inspector Fei!" "Good day, Inspector Fei!"

Fei Lun was a bit puzzled but still responded to each of them. After a long wait, he finally reached the counter, "I'll have the special lunch!" Just as he was about to pay, the fat man behind the counter smiled and said, "Inspector Fei, no need. This meal is on me, Fan Rong!"

"Fan Rong, right? We seem to be meeting for the first time, don't we?"

"Yes, it's our first meeting, but your name is already famous throughout the entire Hong Kong Island Police District. I, Fan Rong, want to bask in your glory, so this meal is on me!"

Fei Lun nodded and said, "Alright, I'll return the favor when I have the chance!"

Fan Rong handed over the tray of food and grinned, "Sure thing!"

Fei Lun took the tray, turned around, and with a quick glance, spotted Xie Yixin and the others. He walked over directly.

Dai Yan and Li Lidong said in unison, "Good day, Inspector Fei!"

Shi Yiran hurriedly stood up to offer his seat, "Inspector Fei, sit here."

Unexpectedly, just as Fei Lun sat down, Xie slammed down her utensils, "I'm full!" She then got up and turned to leave.

Fei Lun was puzzled, "What's going on?"

Dai Yan said, "Inspector Fei, have you offended Madam Xie?"

"No!" Fei Lun shook his head.

"Really?"

Fei Lun hesitated for a moment and said, "If there was, it must have been back in the police academy. It's been so long, she shouldn't still be holding a grudge, right?"

Dai Yan and the others immediately showed a "I get it" expression. Shi Yiran sat in Xie's place and sighed, "Inspector Fei, you really don't understand women. If a woman holds a grudge, she can hold it for a lifetime!"

Fei Lun and the others looked at him as if he were crazy.

"Why are you looking at me? Am I wrong? Madam is a woman, and she's not immune to such things!" Shi Yiran continued to talk confidently.

At this moment, Xie's voice came from behind him, "Shi Yiran, who are you saying is 'not immune to such things'?"

"Ah?!" Shi Yiran was terrified, his heart pounding, "Madam, how did you...?"

"How did I come back?" Xie grabbed his shoulder and said forcefully, "Come with me, we need to check some files!"

"But, but I haven't finished my meal yet!" Shi Yiran tried to wriggle out and looked to Fei and the others for help.

Unfortunately, Fei and the others had a "let the others suffer" attitude and did not come to his aid.

After Shi Yiran was half-dragged away by Xie, Fei asked, "Dai Yan, what did you find out about the Shanma Village case this morning?"

Dai Yan immediately introduced Fengjie Wei Danhong.

Li Lidong added, "This woman has likely been missing for two days. She is the most likely victim."

"Don't jump to conclusions!" Fei said while eating. "I carefully examined the body parts at the morgue. Among them were some top-grade horse meat pieces. I suspect the killer is wealthy, or even very influential, or at least has some connection to such people."

"Inspector Fei, why do you say that? Could the horse meat be...?"

"Dai Yan, you're right. The horse meat in the body parts is from a purebred horse." Fei had not revealed this at the morgue. He also didn't mention that most of the body parts were cut from the victims while they were still alive, with only a few pieces taken after they had died.

"So, a racehorse was butchered?" Li Lidong realized the severity of the case.

"And it was cut while still alive. More importantly, the horse meat showed no signs of disease." Fei said, surprising everyone.

Dai Yan slapped the table, "That's simple then. If it's not a diseased horse, it must be an active or retired purebred horse. If any have suddenly gone missing or died, we should be able to find out!"

Li Lidong stood up, "Let's start the investigation right away!"

Fei waved his hand to signal him to sit down, "No rush. The morgue is already testing the horse meat. We'll wait for the detailed report before we start the investigation."

According to the rules, Li Lidong sat back down and asked curiously, "Inspector Fei, how did you know about the horse meat analysis before the report came out?"

Fei took a sip of soup and pointed to his eyes with two fingers, "I saw it with my own eyes. What's the problem?"

Dai Yan and Li Lidong were both stunned.

"Don't worry, my analysis is absolutely reliable!"

In Fanling, at the PTU headquarters, which also houses the Special Duties Unit (SDU).

In the screening room, a very blurry video clip of a gunfight was playing. The short clip, less than half a minute long, ended quickly.

"What are your thoughts on this clip?" asked the commander of Action Team A, Li Feng.

The team's sniper, Gu Hou, sneered, "Sir Li, the picture is so blurry, what can we think?"

"Exactly, all we can see is a person holding an AK, swinging it with both hands. Is that supposed to be fun?" another muscular team member, Lei Qiang, chimed in.

With these two leading the way, the other team members started to murmur. Li Feng interrupted, "Lei Qiang is right. The person in the clip did swing the AK, but not randomly. He successfully hit the target using the flick shot technique."

The room fell silent. Gu Hou raised his finger, "Oh, I get it. This clip must be from the big robbery on Guangjing Street this morning. The person in the clip must be Probationary Inspector Fei Lun."

Lei Qiang was skeptical, "Flick shot? Is it really that impressive?"

"Absolutely!" A, the team's strategist, Ji Moxiao, who had been silent, said, "If you look closely at the current still frame, especially the arm that performs the flick shot."

Many team members immediately grabbed binoculars to look at the screen. Some shouted, "I don't see anything. The gun, the body, wait, where is the person's arm? Why can I see the wall behind?"

Ji Moxiao continued, "That's the key. I don't think Fei Lun's arm disappeared; it's just that he moved his arm so fast that it created a residual image. If you look closely at the wall, it's blurrier than the rest."

Gu Hou examined it carefully and said, "You're right!"

"I think none of us can match Fei Lun's arm speed. If this clip is real, he is much stronger in arm strength than any of us!" Ji Moxiao concluded.

This statement left the entire Team A silent. They all knew what incredible arm strength meant for a marksman.

At this moment, Li Feng clapped his hands to get everyone's attention and said, "As Ji Moxiao speculated, this clip has not been edited. I've confirmed with the higher-ups that the flick shot is real, and Fei Lun used it to successfully kill three armed robbers. Quite impressive!"

Ji Moxiao was moved, "Why don't we invite Inspector Fei Lun to give us a class?"

Li Feng smiled, "Good idea, I was thinking the same. However, the Hong Kong Island Police District's Major Crime Unit is currently handling a big case, so the class will have to be postponed."

Despite this, many SDU members still didn't believe in the flick shot and were waiting to see Fei Lun in person.

After finishing his meal, Fei Lun stretched his arms and found that the strain from the morning's flick shot had mostly healed. He rinsed his mouth with the remaining soup in his bowl, took a mint, and said, "Dai Yan, Li Dong, there are two things to do for the Shanma Village case: one, confirm the victim's identity; two, find the source of the horse meat."

"SIR, which should we do first?" Dai Yan asked.

"Of course, we should first find out about Fengjie Wei Danhong's whereabouts," Fei Lun said with a smirk. "As for the horse meat, we'll have a clearer direction once the morgue's report comes out."

Dai Yan and Li Dong both nodded in agreement.

"Alright, Dai Yan, you and Li Dong go and find out which pimp Wei Danhong is associated with."

"Understood!"
