Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

"The company's CEO was found hanged in the elevator, and everyone present witnessed that he died alone inside?"

"A confession note was found in his email, mentioning his misdeeds, thus it was concluded as suicide due to guilt?"

"There were no traces of anyone else's attack in the elevator, so the case was officially classified as a suspicious death?"

Luo Fei looked at the report Zhang Wei handed over, full of confusion. He went to bed early last night, and such a big incident happened after he woke up today!

Moreover, the incident occurred in the morning, and by the afternoon, things had already escalated to a boiling point.

But there was no help for it, after all, that day many reporters were there trying to get a statement, unexpectedly stumbling upon a murder scene.

Thus, they exaggerated the whole affair.

Now, the difficulty of solving the case has increased because of the media's proactive involvement, escalating the issue. If the case can't be solved quickly, it will affect the company's current state.

Not only that, the most outrageous thing is the wild speculations that have emerged.

"Group leader, if you ask me, it's because Gu Xiaochuan was a ruthless plutocrat, and the CEO's reputation in the industry wasn't good, working in human resources, but in reality, his actions were disgraceful."

Lin Jie had strong opinions on this matter, and He Xin echoed these sentiments.

They all expressed their thoughts, and the others responded in agreement.

Although, as criminal police, they weren't particularly interested in these economic and sociological issues, public opinion always influences people's thinking.

Luo Fei said nothing in response, as he was more concerned about how the man ended up hanged in the elevator?

"Luo Fei, it's time to act."

Zhao Donglai appeared outside the room.

"This case is significant, as it involves the interests of ordinary grassroots people, so we must solve it quickly. Currently, society still mostly believes Gu Xiaochuan was murdered, but this is clearly a case of murder."

Luo Fei nodded, agreeing with what Captain Zhao said.

Anyone with eyes could see that if Gu Xiaochuan really wanted to end his life, he would have chosen to do it in his office or some less conspicuous place.

Being found hanged in the elevator was because someone wanted to make a statement, apologize to the public,

while also achieving some unspeakable goals.

Such a shocking display in a public setting was partly to confuse the audience, like previous cases where the murder scene was altered to mislead and distract.

No matter what the murderer did, they must be found immediately.

If delayed further, it could lead to the public losing interest in the outcome, instead taking sides, so clarity is needed before the direction of public opinion affects the entire case.

Once the public accepts the possibility of him committing guilt-driven suicide, pursuing the killer later becomes troublesome.

"Captain Zhao, has all the information on Gu Xiaochuan been gathered?"

"Yes, what Zhang Wei gave you is everything currently available. He was a businessman, and we can't access other data as it's too scattered."

"Understood."

Luo Fei's eyes flashed with a hunter's instinct. This businessman seemed to have been at the center of a storm for a while.

Soon, the group arrived at the Zhide Group's office building.

Walking along, Zhang Wei and Lin Jie discussed the situation, as this so-called hanging case must identify a murderer to prove it was a homicide.

Unfortunately, from the intelligence gathered, it's hard to determine who killed Gu Xiaochuan.

First, there's hardly any contact with anyone.

According to the submitted intelligence, neither assistants, secretaries, nor department managers went to the CEO's office on the top floor that day.

This essentially ruled out all potential suspects.

Secondly, the place of death was bizarrely unusual.

If it was in the office, surveillance could help investigate, but currently, the situation shows the surveillance cameras couldn't capture inside the elevator.

Because some repair workers went up that day for maintenance.

And when they left, there were no other incidents.

No one was hiding inside the elevator, and outside were all reporters, so what happened to Gu Xiaochuan after he went upstairs?

"Stop guessing. Regardless of what evidence or clues are given, you can only be certain after going there. Evidence can be forged, and clues could be deliberately left by someone else, so it's easy to be misled. Therefore, you must dive deeper."

"The essence of solving the case lies within!"

These words earned Luo Fei immediate applause.

The other three were already impressed with their team leader, and the personal lesson made it even more admirable.

"You guys should learn well, don't just follow the leader around, remember what he says."

Zhao Donglai would occasionally give them pointers as he walked ahead.

"Captain Zhao, didn't you also follow the leader? Why aren't you listening..."

Zhang Wei murmured on the side but fell silent quickly as Zhao Donglai turned back with a stern face.

"Shut it, kid, say less!"

"Oh..."

Upon entering the lobby, which was sealed as a crime scene, other employees were not allowed to stay. Except for a few in charge, the entire building was quiet.
