Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 507 - 250: Twisted Humanity Beneath Humility

Chapter 507: Chapter 250: Twisted Humanity Beneath Humility
Upon arriving at the security office, only the security captain was there.
Since it was still the weekend, only the captain was on duty. Since he was getting older and his surname was Fang, people generally called him Captain Fang.
"Officer, I’m Fang Lei. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Hello, Captain Fang. We’d like to understand the situation."
Liao Xingyu took out two photographs.
"These are homeowners living in the community. Do you have any impression of these two people?"
"This is Xiaomeng and her boyfriend."
Upon hearing what Captain Fang said, Luo Fei and the others were a bit speechless, not expecting that subtle details could tell apart a young couple.
Meng Ling could be recognized immediately... It shows she’s quite the focal person ordinarily.
With so many property owners in a neighborhood, it’s indeed remarkable for the security captain to remember her like this.
However, Hua Guoyu, mentioned as her boyfriend, lacked a strong presence.
"Officer, I heard from other passing homeowners discussing something happened at their place?"
"Yes."
Luo Fei briefly explained the situation and fixed his eyes on the captain.
Though Captain Fang was aging and didn’t seem like the kind of person to commit an offense, any suspicious target couldn’t be ignored.
Thus Luo Fei was particularly observing his micro-expressions!
"Huh? What’s going on here?"
Captain Fang’s face showed a look of horror, glancing around in surprise.
Luo Fei immediately deduced that such behavior clearly didn’t match a killer.
If he were the killer, he would have anticipated it, and his reaction wouldn’t have been so natural and smooth. Even if he tried to feign surprise, he wouldn’t glance around.
Because the only threat was the police in front of him.
If he had something to hide, he wouldn’t react like Captain Fang, there would be a difference.
Luo Fei mentally ruled out the captain’s suspicion.
Next, it was only necessary to gather information.
This visit was mainly to inquire about the security guard Xiaoliu.
According to the information gathered earlier, Xiaoliu’s real name is Liu Yang, 25 years old, and has been working here for three years.
Usually, he rents a place in a distant village within the city since there aren’t suitable residences around Jingui Garden, so he lives in a remote area.
"Xiaoliu, oh, he’s a good kid."
Captain Fang immediately finalized his judgment in the first sentence.
No matter how a security guard regarded as a good man in the eyes of outsiders, his reputation seems without issues. This coincides with the neighbors’ previous perceptions.
"Captain Fang, please tell us more about Xiaoliu."
"From the information we’ve collected, it seems there was a conflict between him and the deceased Meng Ling. The relationship between the parties was not good at that time. We suspect there may be a dispute between them..."
When he said this, Luo Fei paused because he noticed Captain Fang began shaking his head.
While shaking his head, he waved his hand, firm and certain.
"Impossible!"
"Officer, I can’t speak for other matters, but in terms of Xiaoliu’s personality, there’s absolutely no way he could be involved in this."
"Xiaoliu has had a hard life, working previously in a small county. This time, coming to the city for work, he had to pull some strings to get a job here. He’s diligent and warm-hearted..."
"Officer, is there any other evidence?"
It’s evident Captain Fang trusts Xiaoliu greatly, making it difficult to continue openly questioning.
When someone’s testimony is clouded by colored glasses and cognitive filters, it can no longer be taken as a reference.
Luo Fei approached the side blackboard to quietly observe the roster.
Suddenly, he noticed Xiaoliu was scheduled for tonight’s night shift.
The security team consisted of fourteen people, and over the seven days of the week, they rotated their shifts. Sunday during the day was Captain Fang’s shift, while Liu Yang was scheduled for the night shift.
Suddenly Luo Fei recalled the time of the crime...
Carry out the crime in the morning, and by the time the police investigated the follow-up matters, it happened to coincide with the shift change.
This way, Captain Fang could provide an alibi for Liu Yang.
Though somewhat far-fetched, it undeniably affects judgment...
No one would believe a murderer would show up in their work area a few hours before their shift to commit murder. It’s somewhat against common sense. At least half the people would avoid such sensitive timing.
Thus, the well-respected Captain Fang would help by speaking up, inadvertently giving false testimony.
"I see now, I know it all..."
Luo Fei exited the security room. Night had fallen, and in over an hour, the shift change would occur.
"Captain Zhao, I have a plan."
"Speak."
Zhao Donglai and the others gathered around him.
Nearing the end of the year, nightfall came earlier. Many people rushed back as soon as they finished work.
Outside Jingui Garden, people came and went, and many homeowners hurried home.
A figure poked its head from the side of the wall, with greenery behind him.
Besides the outer wall of the community, there was nothing else, but due to pruning issues, the bushes in the green area were over a meter high.
No police cars were around, and those officers who had been here earlier had left, appearing to have withdrawn entirely.
Suddenly, the door to the security office opened.
