The desk opposite was even wider, grand and imposing, making one marvel just by looking at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this the general manager’s office? It’s more lavish than some CEOs’ private residences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, hehe, officer, our CEO’s tastes are a bit cultured, so the setup is somewhat exaggerated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this excuse, Luo Fei didn’t bother to respond and walked straight in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beautiful secretary, luxurious office, this guy sure enjoyed life while he was alive, but his work methods were constantly criticized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at it this way, the title of a ruthless rich man wasn’t undeserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How often does your CEO come to the company?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About half of the time here, the other half spent negotiating business outside, helping us with project connections, and sometimes traveling to other places for personnel recruitment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lot of note paper was used on the desk, but the teacups and kettles seemed largely idle, indicating a focus on working, making him a diligent wealthy man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regarding the rumor that your CEO committed suicide out of guilt, leaving a confession letter stored in his draft mailbox, what’s all this about? And who discovered it first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was me and the CEO’s assistant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secretary Chen answered softly from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just after the CEO’s incident, we went to his office to check things, but found his computer on, with a self-assessment letter about altering labor contracts, internal job adjustments for kickbacks, and not wanting to fulfill duties.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of the email alert, we checked it out, thinking it might be related to the CEO’s suicide, and reported it together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Secretary Chen finished speaking, she timidly glanced outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xiaochuan’s death had a considerable impact on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than just work implications, it left psychological scars. The CEO had cared for her daily, and now suddenly he was found hanged in the elevator, and in such a bizarre manner, so she felt extremely uneasy inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she hadn’t done anything, that eerie feeling hit her deep inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be afraid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei suddenly said without preamble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know what you’re worried about, but I’ve already said very clearly, your CEO absolutely didn’t commit suicide, even if there is a so-called confession letter, someone is orchestrating this from behind, trying to steer us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This was a murder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have any other knowledge, you must tell me, because it can help us solve the case sooner, and if it has nothing to do with you, don’t worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Secretary Chen calmed down a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she seemed to remember something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer, there is something our CEO never mentioned externally, always misunderstood by others, but it’s true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei and Zhao Donglai, who were observing, were immediately drawn over. This clue could be crucial and directly affect Gu Xiaochuan’s death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, after that dispatch worker had an accident, our CEO went to their home immediately, but nothing more was heard afterward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for what they talked about, we’re not sure, we only knew at the time that he told me and the assistant not to mention it outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei instantly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a vital clue could open a door for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If prior to this there was no communication or interaction between Gu Xiaochuan and the deceased’s family, then there was a gap, making it impossible to link the two sides together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the incident, the two sides met, which doesn’t rule out the possibility of the victim’s family seeking revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it can’t be concluded openly yet, it is the most plausible theory so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, after we finish here today, we’ll go check the injured worker’s situation and investigate from there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei and Zhao Donglai headed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, there were no useful clues in the entire office, and their thoughts and leads were blocked on the rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To find the key reason for the elevator death, they must dig out some clues from here, otherwise this trip would be futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Donglai looked around the surveillance and suddenly pointed towards the rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luo Fei, I think the secret is up there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei, who was still examining the elevator, was drawn over by this hint, realizing this was something he had overlooked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, this is the surveillance blind spot, meaning if the killer didn’t enter Gu Xiaochuan’s office, they must have gone to the rooftop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Makes sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, the two walked up together, and after crossing the rooftop fence, saw the elevator shaft cover at the top, and both thought of the issue at hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two approached and were stunned right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just as expected, someone had opened the lid, the bolts below were loosened, and the edge was pried open. It should’ve been someone forcefully dismantling it. I remember that before Gu Xiaochuan entered the elevator, there was a group of repair workers here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, indeed, next we should investigate them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",874,"2026-06-05T23:14:57.802Z",1,"novelbin.me","640de96885af6c40482e4c43ab7f713667fab96c3c88b9fc2a9f309eb6eee63e","gene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-chapter-436","gene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-chapter-434",986,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgene-fusion-system-crime-hunter-cover.jpg"]
