Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Chapter 972 - 480: Eerie Scene? Ecstasy to Death

"One deceased, male."

"Name: Zhao Ligang"

"Age: 63"

"Chairman of Xinke Group, former top executive..."

"From the scene, it seems he was given sleeping pills, and then his head was shoved into the toilet, causing him to drown."

Deng Wen spoke, her expression becoming increasingly serious.

It was clear from her face that something was amiss.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Luo Fei, however, remained relatively calm.

"Deng Wen, you’ve noticed, haven’t you, that this case is quite unusual?"

"Yes, Mr. Luo, the circumstances of this case are indeed strange. But I can’t quite put my finger on exactly what’s odd about it..."

Deng Wen observed that the deceased exhibited a typical drowning posture, yet there was something indescribably strange.

However, Luo Fei pointed out the issue incisively.

"The man drowned, but there are no obvious signs of force on the back of his neck."

"Additionally, part of the water clearly entered his nose while he was asleep. But even if he took sleeping pills, a person would instinctively resist in a life-threatening situation. This man did not."

Luo Fei’s analysis.

Also gained Deng Wen’s agreement.

"Mr. Luo is correct."

"However, from the medical records we just obtained, this person already had some muscle weakness and other conditions, with his arms often becoming temporarily uncontrollable for some reason."

"This might also be related to his past experiences."

"But as for what kind of poison he was exposed to, or if any toxin was injected into his muscles, I need to perform further autopsy and lab tests. At least from appearance and smell, I haven’t found anything unusual yet..."

After hearing Deng Wen’s analysis.

Luo Fei also took notice.

At this moment, Su Jianfan appeared to be in deep thought.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Upon hearing Luo Fei’s question, Su Jianfan abruptly raised his head.

"Huh? Mr. Luo, nothing, I was just pondering."

"I just checked the surveillance footage and found that this person didn’t enter the restroom alone. Instead, a staff member pushed a cart in. So I was pondering."

"That person could likely be the culprit. He hid the victim in the hollow space under the trash cart. After administering sleeping pills, he transported him here before committing the crime."

Su Jianfan’s analysis.

Made Luo Fei nod in agreement.

"That’s certainly a possibility. However, compared to the manner of this person’s death, I’m more curious about why the perpetrator would commit such a brutal and terrifying act."

As Luo Fei spoke, his expression became extremely serious.

It was clear he had more to say.

Only then did Su Jianfan speak.

"Mr. Luo, I was curious too, so I looked into the victim’s identity."

"If I hadn’t investigated, I wouldn’t have known he had such a background. It really is a rather legendary life."

It was clear the other person was somewhat admiring.

Luo Fei felt slightly surprised internally.

But it was also understandable.

On his way home that evening.

Luo Fei also reviewed the man’s life story.

"Zhao Ligang, head of Xinke Seafood Cold Transport Company. His brand, Ice Gull Frozen Foods, was once a leading national frozen products company."

"The business involved over a dozen types of seafood freezing and transport-related services, with dozens of categories in their frozen ball food series."

"Previously a nationally renowned trademark. Zhao Ligang was also named one of the top ten most inspirational figures in Huaxia that year due to his contributions to orphanages."

However, such a former prominent figure.

Ten years ago, was arrested by the police for tax evasion and embezzlement, using double books to conceal his true financial status.

He was later released due to insufficient evidence.

But back then, such cases were rare.

Coupled with the very positive image he consistently portrayed externally.

He always gave off the perception of being flawless and faultless.

This led to a public uproar at that time.

Many people withdrew their investments as a result.

Choosing to distance themselves from Zhao Ligang.

This caused his reputation to fall dramatically, leading to a complete decline.

Upon realizing this.

Luo Fei couldn’t help but pause in contemplation.

"Business works like this. No one pays attention until you make big money and become the center of attention. But when you do succeed, few people truly cheer for you."

"Most people assume you succeeded only due to good fortune."

"And when there’s a flaw, whether it’s your competitors or those envious of you, they’ll eagerly step in to criticize, saying your success was just speculation and trickery."

As Luo Fei spoke, he shook his head with a slight hint of amusement.

Su Jianfan immediately agreed.

"Mr. Luo is right. So, I think we can start from this angle. See who led Zhao Ligang to his current situation back then and whether someone intentionally exploited the situation."

"Or perhaps someone deliberately framed those who caused his downfall initially."

Su Jianfan’s line of thinking made Luo Fei nod.

"Jianfan, you’re right. I must say, you’ve grown quite a bit recently. Your judgment and intuition regarding cases have definitely improved."

Such high praise made Su Jianfan somewhat embarrassed.
