Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 40: Chapter 38: 200,000 in Hand

Went to the town police station to make a record.

Then Lu Li drove home to sleep.

Well, it was a bit late when he got home, and his parents scolded him.

The next day, at noon.

Perhaps it was a bit late when he got back last night.

It’s lunchtime now, and Lu Li is still sound asleep.

Suddenly, the phone on the bedside table rang urgently.

Ring ring, ring ring.

Lu Li, woken up, yawned.

He picked up the phone drowsily without checking who was calling.

”Hello, Old Lu, it’s me!”

Wang Yu’s excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lu Li, who was still a bit sleepy, suddenly woke up.

He quickly asked into the phone, ”How is it, any results?”

”Amazing! You’re simply amazing!” Wang Yu couldn’t contain his excitement as he said, ”Last night, I reported to the leader, then followed what you said. I worked overtime to have people test those meat particles, and sure enough, Zhai Million’s DNA was found from them. Then we legally summoned Du Yujun and her husband. After a careful interrogation of Du Yujun, we really got specific information. She indeed had an improper relationship with Zhai Million, and this relationship lasted eleven or twelve years!”

Wow, that woman seems to be in her thirties.

So, she started this improper relationship with Zhai Million when she was seventeen or eighteen?

Lu Li could roughly guess why.

He estimated that the woman used to be quite poor and was attracted to Zhai Million’s wealth, so she developed that kind of relationship with him.

As for why she continued the relationship after getting married, he really couldn’t figure it out.

He asked, ”And then what?”

Wang Yu said, ”Then we interrogated Du Yujun’s husband, Yin Yangguang.”

Lu Li’s eyes lit up as he said, ”Does this mean the case is solved?”

Wang Yu laughed heartily, ”The test results have all come out, and he couldn’t deny it. He admitted that he killed Zhai Million, so yes, the case is solved!”

It’s good that the case is solved!

Lu Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his hard work last night was worth it.

Wang Yu’s tone became serious, ”Old Lu, after what happened last night, I just want to say one thing, you are truly amazing. You solved this case with no clues just by wandering around, amazing!”

Am I really amazing?

Of course, I have unlocked my genes, and in the future, I will become a ’Divine Being’. How could I not be amazing?

Lu Li indulged in a little self-admiration, curiously asking, ”What exactly happened? How could this woman still maintain such an improper relationship with an old man after getting married?”

”You really asked the right question.” Wang Yu explained in detail, ”According to Du Yujun’s confession, she said that she was attracted to Zhai Million’s wealth when she was young, so she developed a relationship with him. However, after getting married, she always wanted to break away from him. Zhai Million’s wife died early, and although he never married Du Yujun, he always regarded her as his wife, holding on and even threatening to reveal their improper relationship to Yin Yangguang if she broke up with him.”

Lu Li was thoughtful; it was indeed as he had guessed.

Wang Yu continued, ”Later, according to Yin Yangguang’s confession, he was more detailed. He said that at the beginning of this year, he heard someone say that his daughter didn’t look like him, which made him suspicious. He secretly did a paternity test, and it was confirmed that the daughter was indeed not his. This made him want to kill Du Yujun. After returning home, he had a big fight with her, and finally, she had no choice but to confess, saying she was threatened by Zhai Million and didn’t dare to break up, which led to this mistake.”

Lu Li asked in amazement, ”So Yin Yangguang killed Zhai Million?”

”No, at that time Yin Yangguang was angry but hadn’t thought of killing yet.”

Wang Yu explained in detail, ”After knowing the truth, he directly asked Du Yujun to find Zhai Million and break up. Du Yujun also told Zhai Million that her husband knew and was not prepared to continue. Zhai Million panicked at that time because it was his only means of threatening Du Yujun. To keep her, he proposed a new threat, saying if they really broke up, he would let the whole town know about the affair. Du Yujun, who cared about her reputation, could only humiliatingly agree again and once more hid it from her husband.”

Lu Li blinked and said, ”Then did Yin Yangguang find out again?”

”Yes! That Zhai Million really deserved to die!”

Wang Yu cursed and said, ”Yin Yangguang, having been cheated once, was jumpy as a startled bird and often followed his wife’s movements. It didn’t take long for him to find out, and then he went home, furious, intending to kill his wife. Du Yujun had no choice but to confess everything, and indeed, her husband then was determined to kill Zhai Million, knowing that if he didn’t, their family’s face would be lost.”

He paused for a moment, ”Yin Yangguang actively arranged to meet Zhai Million, saying he wanted to talk about his wife and suggest a solution. He also hinted on the phone that if Zhai Million was willing to break up with Du Yujun, he would pay a million as a breakup fee. Zhai Million didn’t suspect, went, and then was taken to the slaughterhouse and killed like a chicken. You know the rest, so I won’t say more.”

Oh, so that’s how it is.

Lu Li finally understood what happened in detail.

Indeed, as Wang Yu said, Zhai Million really deserved to die.

But on the other hand, Yin Yangguang handled it quite meticulously, not like it was his first time.

Why do you say that?

The logic is quite simple.

Normally, after killing someone, a person would be very nervous.

Yin Yangguang not only wasn’t panicked, but instead, he prearranged Zhai Million to be near the slaughterhouse, killed him, and then disposed of all evidence, eventually dumping the body several kilometers away near a graveyard.

The key thing is jumping with the dismembered corpse from a bridge into a river.

Then swimming three or four kilometers before finally dumping the body on the bank.

It’s clearly practiced.

Lu Li reminded, ”Wang Yu, you’d better investigate Yin Yangguang closely, maybe he has killed before.”

Wang Yu’s eyes lit up, ”Did you discover something again?”

Lu Li said with a wry smile, ”I’m just saying, I’ve never even seen Yin Yangguang, how could I know what he did before? It’s a guess, a guess, understand?”

Wang Yu laughed and said, ”Whether it’s a guess or not, I trust your intuition.”

Yes, after experiencing what happened last night, and the case indeed being solved with little difference from what Lu Li said.

Therefore, in Wang Yu’s mind, Lu Li was already no different from a Divine Being.

The case details were almost sorted out, and Lu Li was about to hang up.

He suddenly thought of something, ”By the way, what about the reward for Zhai Million’s two sons?”

Wang Yu said, ”I just wrapped up the case on my end, and I haven’t had the chance to notify the brothers yet. There’s something I need to tell you.”

Lu Li asked, ”What?”

Wang Yu said, ”Because the impact of this case was really severe, and since you provided the breakthrough clue, our superiors said that in addition to a five-thousand-yuan reward, there might be a journalist coming to interview you, so be prepared.”

Lu Li: ”...”

He currently didn’t have the ability to protect himself and didn’t want to be famous at all.

”Can I refuse?”

”No.”

”Damn, I can’t even refuse an interview?”

”Ahem, please help out.”

After a brief negotiation.

Ultimately having no choice, Lu Li reluctantly agreed to the interview.

...

In the evening.

Lu Li was busy cooking in the kitchen.

His mom and dad came home from work one after the other.

As soon as they entered, they began to reprimand him.

”What did you do last night?”

”You came back in the middle of the night. Aren’t you afraid of getting killed? Yesterday, the news about Zhai Million being dismembered was buzzing all over town, and yet you dared to wander outside and come home so late?”

”Do you take this house as a hotel?”

His parents were extremely angry and scolding him with stern faces as soon as they entered.

Lu Li was just about to explain a bit.

Suddenly, the sound of a car was heard outside.

Then, a weary middle-aged man’s voice followed, ”Excuse me, is this Lu Li’s home?”

Lu Li and his parents looked outside.

They saw a Mercedes S600 parked on the roadside.

Two middle-aged men in white shirts got out of the car.

He looked over, puzzled, ”I’m Lu Li, what business do you have with me?”

His parents’ gazes kept shifting between their son and the two middle-aged men, seemingly wanting to figure out what was going on.

They even wondered if their son had gotten into trouble last night and now these people were here looking for him.

The taller middle-aged man spoke first, completely stunning both his mom and dad!

”Oh my, Mr. Lu, thank you, really thank you so much!”

The middle-aged man rushed up, skipping a step in between, and grabbed Lu Li’s hand, his eyes brimming with tears, ”If it weren’t for you providing the clues about my dad’s case, we wouldn’t know when we’d ever find the murderer! Thank you, really thank you so much!”

The slightly shorter middle-aged man even knelt down, crying bitterly, ”Mr. Lu, thank you so much, they’ve finally caught the person who killed my dad!”

Huh?

Judging by their tone, these two are very likely Zhai Million’s sons?

Both his mom and dad were stunned, not understanding how their son had helped find Zhai Million’s killer.

For a moment, they were completely bewildered, looking at each other, eyes wide open.

Lu Li realized from their words that these were Zhai Million’s sons.

He did remember their scent, but his super sense of smell was turned off at the moment, so he didn’t recognize them at first.

As for what they were there for, it was obvious, to give money.

Although Lu Li didn’t like Zhai Million’s character, he wouldn’t turn down money.

He reached out to help the kneeling middle-aged man up.

Lu Li said, ”Just a little help, just a little help, shall we talk inside?”

”Okay, okay, sure.”

”Let’s talk inside.”

Zhai Million’s two sons nodded repeatedly.

Lu Li brought them into the living room.

His parents, being very curious, discreetly followed along.

Inside.

Once inside, the tall one took out two thick stacks of money from his briefcase and handed it over, ”Mr. Lu, yesterday when my brother and I found out that our dad had been murdered, we publicly stated that we would offer a 200,000 yuan reward to anyone who could provide clues to solve the case. Now that your clues helped find the murderer, I have to keep my promise and hand this money to you personally.”

I got it!

The 200,000 is finally in hand!

Lu Li was filled with excitement.

At first, he thought that besides bringing him negative effects, his super sense of smell was useless.

Unexpectedly, this skill turned out to be amazing!

It actually helped him solve a murder and dismemberment case, and he got 200,000 for it!

Clearly, there’s no such thing as a useless skill, it just depends on whether you can apply it in the right way!
