Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

"Because I hate him, I just want to ruin him!"

Guo Peng suddenly became angry, "Everyone has only praised him since we were kids... Just because he can study, just because he got into a college, what's so great about that..."

Through his intermittent narration, everyone finally figured out why he hated Guo Jing so much.

He and Guo Jing were only a year apart, so it's inevitable that the family elders would compare them.

Especially after starting school, Guo Peng's grades were always at the bottom, but Guo Jing had been outstanding in both conduct and academics since childhood, leading to increasingly frequent comparisons.

On top of that, Qiao Guilan and her husband had high expectations for Guo Peng from a young age, so every time he did poorly on an exam, it was unavoidable to be punished by the couple, accompanied by lectures on Guo Jing's achievements.

Over time, Guo Peng became very resentful of Guo Jing, believing that all the beatings and scoldings he received were caused by Guo Jing.

Until later, when he dropped out of middle school, his parents' beatings and scoldings lessened, but the comparisons with Guo Jing never stopped.

Last year, after the college entrance exam results came out, Guo Jing scored over six hundred points, and Guo Tianlai immediately called their family to share the good news.

Hearing that his nephew was so accomplished and seeing Guo Peng lying on the sofa playing games, his father was filled with uncontrollable anger, took out a belt and beat him, while saying many derogatory words.

Guo Peng already disliked Guo Jing, and this beating stirred up all the resentment accumulated from childhood.

At that moment, he happened to be planning another robbery, so he simply decided to frame Guo Jing in the process.

That way, he would never have to live under the shadow of this cousin again.

To achieve this, he made meticulous arrangements and, while visiting Guo Jing's house, casually took Guo Jing's computer receipt to intentionally leave at the scene for the police to discover.

Later, he accidentally killed Xu Jun, but still remembered his plan; leaving Xu Jun's house, he went to stay at Guo Jing's place for a night, then left Guo Jing's fingerprints on the gun while he slept, and hid it under Guo Jing's bed.

Within two days, he heard the news of Guo Jing's arrest.

Everything that followed went as smoothly as he had hoped...

After leaving the interrogation room, it was already past five in the morning.

Zhao Donglai immediately informed everyone of the results of the interrogation.

Learning that Guo Peng was the real culprit left everyone with complex feelings.

There was a sense of relief, yet it was hard to understand.

How had they managed to complicate such a simple case earlier...

"Alright, don't just stand there dumbfounded, hurry up and grab some breakfast, we have a lot of work to do later."

Zhao Donglai said, "Complete the evidence chain as soon as possible; this case can't be dragged on any longer."

Making mistakes on the case was embarrassing enough; only by solving it quickly could they regain their dignity attractively.

After going out, they took a simple breakfast and returned to work.

During this time, Luo Fei received a call from Guo Tianlai.

At first, Luo Fei thought he was asking about the progress of Guo Jing's case, but it turned out he was inquiring about Guo Peng.

Apparently, after Guo Peng was taken away last night, his parents panicked.

Even though they sounded fierce, they were just regular folks without any idea how to deal with such matters.

Since Guo Tianlai had experienced something similar, the couple immediately called him, seeking advice.

After all, it was his own nephew, so Guo Tianlai was understandably anxious.

After comforting the couple and finally making it to daylight, he quickly called Luo Fei to get an update.

"Uncle Guo, I'm temporarily unable to disclose your nephew's situation, but you can come to pick up Guo Jing around eight o'clock. Oh, and remember to bring him a set of clothes."

"Really? I'll prepare right away."

Hearing that his son could return home, Guo Tianlai couldn't contain his joy and hurriedly hung up the phone.

After seven-thirty in the morning, everyone gradually arrived for work.

Soon, everyone learned that the real culprit, Guo Peng, had been apprehended last night.

Suddenly, there was an uproar.

"What! Guo Peng had been to Guo Jing's house before the crime?"

"How did Zhou Lei and Wang Tao miss such crucial evidence, what were they investigating at that time?"

"So we were actually just a step away from the real culprit?"

"I didn't realize it before, but looking at the whole case now, it's shocking how wrong we were earlier!"

"Embarrassing, I feel so embarrassed..."

Everyone was talking heatedly, feeling completely defeated.

If it were a high-intelligence crime like Old Wu's, their mistake might have been understandable.

But the key is this case was really simple, with such obvious evidence, practically standing in front of them, waiting for them to reach out and grasp.

Messing up like this, it's hard for the public to accept, and now they themselves feel like failures.

They couldn't bring themselves to say they were once responsible for this case...

Luo Fei, on the other hand, summarized some of his personal views on the matter.

In fact, he never thought the mistake was due to Wang Tao and Zhou Lei's incompetence.

Conversely, every detective in the city investigation team is undoubtedly excellent.

The real cause of the error was a problem with their attitude.

As law enforcement officers, during their duties, they should always maintain an objective and impartial mindset in addressing every issue, rather than relying on personal assumptions to make subjective guesses.
