Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

"You can't just focus on work and neglect the girl. You're working for the people's welfare, but don't forget you're also one of the people."

"Don't worry about spending money. Xiaohao and Xiaoxiao aren't short on cash. Our family's life is basically without problems now, so don't worry. Just do your job well and get along with Yang Mei..."

Listening to his mother's repeated reminders, Luo Fei smiled and shook his head, feeling there was indeed no way around it.

However, since she is the closest person to him right now, he listened intently till the end.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wei and others sent messages again.

These kids hit the jackpot this time, holding quite a bit of bonus, all clamoring to eat something good.

Of course, when organizing the dinner, they wouldn't neglect the team leader who supported them, so the group invited Luo Fei out.

As tomorrow was the weekend, if nothing urgent came up, they could drink tonight, so Luo Fei gladly went along.

Although everyone was happy, they exercised moderation.

With the end of the year approaching, they were cautious of any accidents, so they only ate and drank symbolically, not indulging recklessly.

"Everyone, you've worked hard recently. Go home and rest early."

"Okay!"

The group left one after another, leaving Luo Fei strolling alone along the street.

Ever since gaining his status and system, he had been caught up in investigation activities, rarely stopping to let himself pause.

While crossing a pedestrian bridge, he encountered a student running towards him at great speed.

As the student was about to collide with him, Luo Fei dodged aside, deftly helping the student avoid an awkward situation.

The student turned around, solemnly bowed to Luo Fei to express his thanks, and then ran off again.

Seeing someone remain courteous even in haste, Luo Fei felt good.

"I didn't expect such a good student."

Just a moment before they passed by each other, Luo Fei, almost reflexively, entered his most sensitive profiling state, seeing right through the student in an instant.

On the student's elbow sleeves were marks of smoothness and imprints from rubbing against a desk, along with stains from water-based ink.

These were marks from writing for long periods at a desk...

The movement of the backpack revealed the sound of books inside.

The clothing was simple and plain, indicating either family circumstances or personal habits, making the student stand out as a refreshing presence among their peers.

The clothes looked even more ordinary than a school uniform, more like uniforms of some social group.

No other smells were present, just a fragrance of books, truly a scholar of the era, a talented youth.

Returning to the team, Luo Fei went to sleep.

The next day.

In a skyscraper located in the CBD area of Jiangzhou City's city center, a group of maintenance workers headed towards the elevator together.

It was already bustling outside, with people arriving in groups, all eager to make it to work on time.

The reception desks around, the security guards on the ground floor, the coming and going employees, managers from various departments clocking in—all adding to the lively atmosphere.

The middle elevator was relatively empty, while the side elevators were more crowded with other employees. Thankfully, there were three elevators operating simultaneously, greatly reducing delays and time-wasting during the commute.

This was the headquarters of Jiangzhou City's well-known enterprise, Zhide Human Resources Co., Ltd.

The strong work environment left people completely unaware of what was about to happen next.

At this moment, a large group of reporters rushed in from outside.

"Hello, President Gu. We would like to ask you about the recent customer fraud scandals that have been exposed. Please look at the camera."

"President Gu, we are reporters from Urban Finance. We would like to ask you why you would publicly engage in activities that provoke public anger in the current economic context of protecting customer rights?"

"President Gu, a victim was recently injured at home due to labor dispatch. Yet, according to the reports at that time, Zhide Group did not respond promptly. What is the reason for this?"

The questions were increasingly tricky, and the words spoken were increasingly harsh. Before anyone could clarify the situation, assumptions had already been made.

But this is the nature of their jobs as reporters and investigators.

Everyone's attention focused on a man who had just entered the company—well-dressed and wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

He appeared refined and courteous. This was Gu Xiaochuan, currently the head of the entire company and the highest authority in this office building!

General Manager, Gu Xiaochuan!

Having just been laughing and talking with several department managers, Gu Xiaochuan saw so many people swarming towards him and immediately called for security and other staff to drive them away.

He, the key figure, hurriedly ran towards the elevator.

When he reached the middle elevator, he coincidentally encountered those maintenance workers coming down, rushed in, and pressed the button for the elevator.

Just like that, the reporters had no way to pursue him.

The General Manager's office was on the top floor, and once Gu Xiaochuan got there, he wouldn't be troubled, at least not for the time being; the public relations team could handle the rest, whitewashing wasn't a difficult task.

Spending a bit of money was not a problem for him.

Inside the elevator, he let out a long sigh; he finally got rid of them for now.

Work had been tough lately, and he used some special methods to manage some of the collected job information and job seekers from the community.

He made unilateral adjustments to some of the face-to-face signed labor contracts interfaced with outside the province.

While calling it an adjustment, it was actually under-the-table manipulations—switching the contracts behind the scenes and only explaining to the naïve individuals at the end of their terms.

Squeezing them was an effort; they just needed to play tricks to easily manipulate those people around.

They redesigned the previously face-signed labor contracts into labor dispatch agreements, where he presumptuously played with the wording. He received money from the opposite side while also sending his subordinates over.

Even though there was no advance notice, since the coordinators were also from their HR company, it didn't cause a big uproar.

There were some who noticed and were just angry because the money wasn't much, and with the thresholds for filing investigations, they probably couldn't win against a big company anyway.

They were just ordinary people, unlike the family-dominated Zhide Group.

But even the smartest people make mistakes once in a while, and they ran into trouble because of labor dispatch.

A man nearing fifty was working in an electronics factory in the south when he was severely burnt by an electric heater due to an accident. He suffered third-degree burns with severe aftereffects and was under close observation in the ICU not long ago.

Faced with such a situation, it was time to test the goodwill of the two companies.

Unfortunately, this man had a tough life, and both sides started passing the buck.

One said that the accident was due to inadequate factory facilities, and the employer should compensate. The other said there was no labor contract signed, and it was merely a unilateral HR movement, or labor dispatch, so workers couldn't enjoy injury compensation and reimbursement as regular employees.

Thus, the issue blew up, nearly trending on social media.

To calm things down, Zhide had no choice but to pay for a PR team to settle the issue, but people simply wouldn't accept it.

What kind of explanation is this?

Under normal circumstances, he might have accepted it, but Gu Xiaochuan knew this issue couldn't be exposed too much. Once settled privately, the things he did would be seriously exposed.

Now, some public accounts began to write about this matter, so he could only lay low for the time being.

After more than ten minutes, the middle elevator came back down.

The reporters were about to leave, but when they turned around, they suddenly saw what was inside the elevator.

In the elevator space, someone was hanging in mid-air, neck caught in a noose tied with a dead knot.

The person's head drooped, and the body slightly swayed with the motion of the elevator.

Seeing this scene, the people behind screamed in shock.

"Ah—"

A shrill cry completely ignited everyone.

General Manager Gu Xiaochuan was found hanging in the elevator at this very moment. Except for him, there was no one else inside, and this eerie scene was completely exposed in front of the cameras.

The elevator hanging incident spread from this moment...
