Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 439 - 217: The True Culprit Hidden in the Shadows

Chapter 439: Chapter 217: The True Culprit Hidden in the Shadows
"That day, my mom and I were at home cooking for my dad. He had already been in the ICU for three full days and hadn’t come out. I was quite worried. It was at that moment that Mr. Gu arrived."
Yue Jun spoke with a heavy expression on his face.
"After he arrived, he strutted in arrogantly, saying he wanted to discuss compensation with us."
"At first, I thought he genuinely came with sincerity. Later, I realized I was wrong. He just wanted to smooth things over and deceive our family with small favors."
At this point, it was clear the other person still remained calm.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but admire this kid. Despite his young age, he was remarkably composed.
A minor, yet he had a clear mind about the matter. I hadn’t misjudged him that night. It seems he’s not only good at studies but has an outstanding temperament too.
"What exactly did he do?"
"He said he would compensate us three thousand yuan, and asked us not to blow up the matter. He also wanted us to follow his instructions for our next moves, to prevent any impact on the Zhide Group."
This statement made Luo Fei furrow his brows.
If what the other person said was true, then Gu Xiaochuan’s problem would be quite severe.
But what Yue Jun said next truly enraged Luo Fei.
"He said it was entirely my dad’s own mistake, so their humanitarian consolation was already quite generous. The total rescue fee and medical expenses for my dad were nearly a hundred thousand yuan. Even after insurance reimbursement, there’s still a lot left..."
"Now, my dad can only leave the hospital to recuperate at home. Although there’s no way around it, I can’t swallow this anger."
As he spoke, tears streamed down Yue Jun’s face.
It’s said that men don’t cry easily unless truly heartbroken, and Luo Fei understood his feelings.
"He also wanted us to make a public statement saying it was my dad’s own fault, unrelated to the company, and that we ought to bear all the responsibility ourselves in order to get his three thousand."
Dark shadows appeared in Luo Fei’s eyes.
He had his own standards and moral convictions. The so-called rich and ruthless, this was clearly malicious!
But he restrained himself, listening to Yue Jun finish his words.
"At that time, my dad hadn’t come back from the hospital yet. After his proposal, I was furious and questioned him why he would do this. It was clearly because of the contract that my dad couldn’t get his rightful protection, but they claimed it was our fault for not signing the contract properly..."
"So I drove him away."
Upon seeing the last sentence, Yue Jun’s gaze gradually calmed down.
He knew that no matter how angry he felt, it wouldn’t change anything, so it was better to exert some control.
Luo Fei didn’t say much after hearing this. Instead, he patted the other person’s shoulder. It wasn’t easy for a young kid to bear such psychological pressure.
But something like this had to be endured; Gu Xiaochuan was already dead, and that was a fact.
Therefore, what he needed to thoroughly investigate now was the matter of the deceased!
"Alright, I understand. I’ve got a pretty good grasp on the situation. If I need anything else, I’ll notify you immediately."
"Okay, Officer Luo."
After exchanging a few words, Luo Fei stood up and left. Before departing, he gave another serious look at Yue Jun.
"Take care of your father. If you truly are in difficulty, reach out to the police. Trust me."
This young man gave a remarkable impression, there was a brilliance in his eyes, but he expressed himself with clarity.
Suddenly, Luo Fei thought of something and turned back abruptly. The other person just happened to look back too, smiling at Luo Fei.
In that instant when their eyes met, Luo Fei was stunned.
However, he didn’t linger for long and left.
"No way!"
Feeling doubtful, Luo Fei rushed back to the police station as soon as possible. Zhao Donglai and the others were already waiting for him there, with the surveillance materials prepared.
After a day of visits, they should have gathered quite a bit of important information and clues.
Both the maintenance worker and the victim’s family were somewhat suspect.
However, they saw Luo Fei return with a somber expression.
It was rare to see the team leader display such a look. Typically, he handled cases with composure, even managing difficulties with ease.
But now, something seemed off with him!
"Team leader, what happened?"
Zhang Wei approached, along with others who were curiously eyeing their team leader.
Luo Fei shook his head and then collected his thoughts.
"Perhaps my judgment was wrong. Bring up the surveillance footage and let’s first take a look at the recordings from the Zhide Group’s lobby the day they opened."
"Okay."
Xiaocheng from the tech department was here too. After organizing the video materials, he started the playback.
On the screen, the first picture appeared. They began to take their positions, including the front desk and some business managers. Their work cycles were relatively long, and since they needed to prepare things first thing in the morning, they were among the earliest to arrive at the company. In less than half an hour, the maintenance workers arrived. They adjusted their tools outside the elevator, then went up the stairs, disappearing from sight.
After a while, the elevator door opened. The maintenance workers came out from inside.
The middle elevator was the one where Gu Xiaochuan had been hanged.
At that moment, this general manager Gu was still alive, discussing the personnel arrangement issue for that day with several managers.
Suddenly, a large group of ers rushed in from outside to interview them regarding the compensation case. Because of their frenzied behavior, the scene became chaotic, filled with noise.
