CS: K9 GF | Chapter 1 – Police Dog Gene Fusion

Ningjiang County, 3:00 PM.Building 10, Apartment 808, Xingfu Residential Community, Songxin Town.

Luo Fei, a probationary police officer who had only been on the job for three days, was accompanying his mentor, Zhang Haiyang, as they investigated a case.

Earlier that afternoon, the Songxin Town Police Station had received a report from a resident named Zhang Lan. Her purebred cat, Huahua—a valuable and expensive pedigree breed—had been missing for over twenty-four hours. Hoping the police could help locate her beloved pet, she filed a report.

With no pressing cases on hand, Zhang Haiyang decided to bring his new apprentice along.

“Ms. Zhang, when was the last time you saw your cat?” Zhang Haiyang asked.

Standing before them was a well-built woman with smooth, fair skin. Anxiety was clearly written across her face.

“Yesterday around eleven in the morning, before I left the house. Huahua was still inside the apartment at the time. I got home very late last night and was exhausted, so I went straight to bed without paying attention to whether she was around. When I woke up this morning, I realized she was gone.”

She spoke hurriedly, unable to hide her concern.

Zhang Haiyang noticed that Luo Fei had immediately pulled out a notebook and pen to record every detail. Secretly, he felt fairly satisfied with his new apprentice.

To be honest, when the station chief assigned him to mentor Luo Fei two days earlier, he had been reluctant. Training rookies was troublesome enough, and in his experience, many young people nowadays couldn't endure hardship and often came with plenty of bad habits. On top of that, Luo Fei hadn't graduated from a proper police academy.

Naturally, Zhang Haiyang hadn't been thrilled.

Unfortunately, four new recruits had joined the station this year, and all the senior officers had been assigned trainees. Whether he liked it or not, he had no choice.

Thankfully, after spending a couple of days together, his impression of Luo Fei had improved considerably. The young man was quick-witted, hardworking, respectful, and free of the spoiled habits that many newcomers possessed.

As the interview continued, Zhang Haiyang asked more detailed questions while Luo Fei carefully recorded everything.

However, Luo Fei's attention wasn't entirely focused on the missing cat.

Compared to finding a pet, he was far more interested in the golden finger inside his mind.

Gene Fusion System.

Six months ago, Luo Fei had been a third-rate mystery novelist struggling to make ends meet. After staying up for an entire week writing nonstop, he suddenly died from overwork and awakened in this parallel world with a new identity.

His new family consisted of four people.

His mother worked in a junior high school cafeteria. His younger brother and sister were still students. As for him, he was a graduate from an ordinary third-rate university who had spent four years accomplishing virtually nothing. After graduation, he had remained unemployed and living off his family.

As a transmigrator, he naturally awakened a cheat ability.

Unfortunately, before he could celebrate, the system informed him that he could only activate it after becoming a People's Police officer.

The problem was that the only path to becoming a police officer was passing the civil service examination.

Before transmigration, Luo Fei had been out of school for many years. Asking him to prepare for such an exam was hardly realistic.

But who could resist the temptation of a system?

Without hesitation, he bought nearly every civil service exam guidebook and practice paper he could find.

Then he studied.

Relentlessly.

He spent at least eighteen hours a day buried in books, reviewing material until he nearly collapsed.

Hard work paid off.

During the provincial civil service examination in April, Luo Fei applied for a position at the Songxin Town Police Station and successfully passed.

It hadn't been easy.

The police profession required extensive specialized training, so most recruits were selected through the Public Security Joint Examination for police academy students.

Positions offered through the standard civil service exam were extremely limited, and most were administrative roles. Many public security departments didn't recruit through the civil service examination at all.

Fortunately, for reasons unknown, Songxin Town Police Station had opened a single recruitment slot that year.

Luo Fei seized the opportunity.

He ranked second in the written examination, first in the interview, and first overall, securing the lone precious position and officially becoming a proud police officer.

And just moments ago—

He had finally bound the system.

Luo Fei was already familiar with the system's functions.

Ding! Congratulations! You have received a Beginner's Gift Pack: Police Dog Olfactory Gene.

Recommended: Fuse immediately.

The system notification sounded in his mind.

"Fuse."

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Fei chose to fuse the gene.

The system's advice was sacred.

A second later, his nose began to itch.

Moments afterward, the system announced that the fusion was complete.

Then everything changed.

An overwhelming flood of scents rushed into his nostrils.

Women's perfume.

Body odor.

The pungent smell of snail rice noodles.

The musky scent of cats.

And hundreds of others.

For a moment, Luo Fei felt utterly miserable.

Thankfully, the discomfort faded as quickly as it appeared. Within minutes, he had adapted to the barrage of smells filling the air around him.

Whether it was because of the system or something else, he didn't know.

But his nose had become unimaginably sensitive.

"Ms. Zhang, would it be alright if we looked around inside?" Zhang Haiyang asked.

"Uh… yes, of course. Please come in."

After a brief hesitation, Zhang Lan stepped aside.

Zhang Haiyang entered first, while Luo Fei followed closely behind, struggling to suppress his excitement.

The apartment was spacious—four bedrooms and two living rooms, easily over 150 square meters.

Everything was elegantly decorated and impeccably clean.

The only exception was a bowl of half-finished snail rice noodles sitting on the coffee table in the center of the living room, its powerful aroma dominating the air.

Embarrassed, Zhang Lan quickly covered it and threw it into the trash.

After receiving permission, Zhang Haiyang began inspecting the apartment.

As a trainee officer, Luo Fei followed behind him attentively, acting like a diligent student.

They checked the bedrooms and then moved on to the bathroom, mainly looking for possible escape routes a cat might have used.

The moment Luo Fei reached the bathroom doorway, he caught a faint foul odor.

"Master, don't you smell something unpleasant?" he asked.

"A bad smell?"

Zhang Haiyang shook his head before stepping back out.

Luo Fei didn't think much of it.

Bathrooms occasionally smelled bad.

Instead, he felt delighted that his enhanced sense of smell had been confirmed.

He followed his mentor back toward the living room.

"Ms. Zhang, are you sure you didn't close any windows after returning home yesterday?" Zhang Haiyang asked.

"Yes. I got home very late."

Luo Fei was about to continue walking when he suddenly stopped.

A thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

That smell… Why does it seem familiar?

A moment later, realization struck.

A corpse!

That's the smell of a decomposing animal carcass!

His eyes widened.

Now he remembered.

The odor had been so faint in the bathroom that he hadn't recognized it immediately.

Luo Fei quickly returned.

As soon as he entered, the foul scent reached his nose once more.

This time, he discovered something important.

The smell wasn't coming from inside the bathroom.

It was drifting in through the window.

The closer he moved toward the window, the stronger it became.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Fei carefully traced its source.

The smell was coming from the balcony of the neighboring apartment.

Back in the living room, Zhang Haiyang was still questioning Zhang Lan.

Luo Fei stepped out of the bathroom.

"Master, I'll check next door and ask whether they've seen the cat."

Without waiting for a response, he left Apartment 808 and walked directly to Apartment 828.

The odor had originated there.

He didn't know exactly what kind of corpse was decomposing.

But perhaps because he had spent years writing mystery novels in his previous life, his instincts were screaming that something was wrong.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

He rapped on the door.

No response.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

He knocked again.

"Coming! Who is it?!"

An irritated voice sounded from inside.

Then came the slap of approaching slippers.

The door opened slightly.

A fierce-looking face appeared through the gap.

The man had a thick beard, bloodshot eyes, and an intimidating expression.

Glowering at Luo Fei, he asked impatiently,

"What do you want?"
