Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 442 - 218: Truth Revealed, Youth Redemption_2
Initially, I was planning to return this afternoon, but suddenly I thought about my Eye of Sin seemingly twitching, so I turned my head sharply.
At the moment of confrontation with the other party, the black mist drifted up slowly.
It was clear that murderous intent and a menacing aura were circulating around him.
This directly confirmed the suspicion I was unwilling to believe!
The reason Luo Fei didn’t confront the other party immediately was because he didn’t want to believe it, so he deliberately returned to the station to review surveillance footage once more.
Later, he realized there was no way to exonerate the teenager even if he wanted to. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
The evidence was irrefutable!
Though the evidence was trivial, facts were facts: Gu Xiaochuan was indeed killed by Yue Jun’s own hands.
"Tell us how you did it, will you?"
"Officer Luo, you’ve already analyzed it all, haven’t you?"
"Yes."
"Indeed, but we need to record a statement. I don’t want to drag you back to the station for investigation. Let’s do it here."
Luo Fei gave his reason, and Zhao Donglai nodded.
They had already discussed this on their way here, considering that although Yue Jun, as a minor, committed a crime and was suspected of intentional murder, he would still face the law.
There were some considerations they took into account, so they chose to keep things discreet whenever possible.
The subsequent sentencing and other matters were for the court to decide.
Their current criminal investigation and arrest processes were their decision.
So, the law stands firm, but humanity remains; this was the last thing they could do for this young kid.
"Thank you."
Yue Jun expressed sincere gratitude and then began recounting the events leading to the incident.
Previously, when Gu Xiaochuan came to their house, he adopted that stance toward him and his mother, asking them to distort his father’s affairs to protect Zhide Group’s reputation.
This behavior deeply affected Yue Jun.
And it broke Yue Jun’s limits!
Since childhood, his father had taught him not to seek hatred or revenge against others casually.
With this incident involving his close family, Yue Jun couldn’t bear it anymore. He could only use his brilliant techniques and full intellectual maneuvers to strike against Gu Xiaojun.
Creating a sensational, unparalleled mystery.
Even making the criminal investigators overcome with difficulty!
This was what Yue Jun personally said; it’s hard to imagine his mental state at the time.
Thus, he first investigated Zhide Company’s maintenance work.
After locating the responsible shop, he managed to get a uniform identical to theirs.
Then, taking advantage of the opportunity after requesting leave from his teacher that morning, he hurried to the company.
Because he wore the maintenance uniform, neither the security guard nor the watchman stopped him.
Then, the maintenance personnel arrived, serving as cover.
Yue Jun chose to blend naturally into the crew, turning eight people into nine, a subtle difference that is hard to detect in the cramped elevator space.
He infiltrated with them onto the top floor.
Even though he hid very discreetly, surveillance was his only concern.
Once on the top floor, everyone began inspecting various parts and running operations while he seized the moment when Master Bai wasn’t looking to head straight to the balcony.
Then, from the skylight above the balcony, he approached the top of the elevator. When the elevator came up for the second time, upon confirming through the vent below that Gu Xiaochuan was the one inside, he started his action.
He acted as soon as Gu Xiaochuan entered the elevator for the second time.
His act of strangling the other with a noose precisely matched what Luo Fei observed at the scene during his initial inspection and Zhao Donglai’s predictive analysis.
The only difference was that indeed, it was Gu Xiaochuan who pressed the elevator button.
After the button was pressed, Yue Jun swiftly lowered the noose, instantly locking it around the other’s neck.
The murderous intent occurred in that moment!
This detail he practiced for several days, ensuring no mistakes.
To confuse future investigators, he specifically twisted the noose twice to create the illusion that Gu Xiaochuan was strangled as soon as he entered the elevator.
The traces of transparent adhesive on the button one were placed by him when he first rode the elevator with the maintenance staff to create a puzzled scenario, challenging the police who would later try to uncover the truth.
He wanted Gu Xiaochuan to be a puzzled soul, dying without clarity.
Even if everyone wanted to solve the truth, they had no opportunity, thus justifying his father’s honor.
"That’s how it happened."
After finishing, Yue Jun felt somewhat relieved and stood up before greeting Luo Fei solemnly and bowing deeply, thanking him for not dragging him directly to the police station.
This was considered a favor to keep a measure of dignity.
Regardless, it was already the most considerative gesture the other party could offer.
Finally, he turned to look at his father and mother.
At this moment, Yue Daguo and his wife were still in disbelief, their eyes brimming with tears, heartbroken beyond words.
The greatest sorrow was their youthful son becoming a murderer, and deliberately so!
"Dad, Mom, I’m sorry."
"I am guilty, I’m wrong, I know what I must do. Anger clouded my mind, I was tormented by my inner thoughts. But if I hadn’t done it, I would never rid myself of cowardice my entire life. This was not only for you, Dad, but for our family’s dignity."
After speaking, Yue Jun approached Luo Fei’s side, extending his hands, signalling to be handcuffed.
But Luo Fei didn’t do it. He knew the night was about redemption.
He looked seriously into Yue Jun’s eyes; although this young man might lie to him, the spirit of youth in his gaze was true.
"If given another chance, would you kill again? I mean, if?"
"No."
Yue Jun shook his head with a smile.
But soon, sadness and heartache surfaced on his face.
"Because I never thought seeing my parents cry like this would cause such pain. Only now I understand what truly matters to me, youthful mistakes must be paid with consequences."
Having said this, Yue Jun turned again to kneel and bowed to his parents.
Upon hearing his answer, Luo Fei nodded in satisfaction.
"Good, if you truly think so, then tonight wasn’t wasted."
"Let’s go; the call for confession came from him personally, tonight we’re all witnesses."
This statement instantly brought tears to Lin Jie and others present, Zhao Donglai also nodded sincerely.
Yue Daguo lifted his wife; the couple just watched as their son was taken, their hearts filled with unspeakable sadness.
In the police car, Luo Fei remained silent.
Soon, Yue Jun was temporarily detained at the team; during the farewell, they exchanged one last look.
This was the third time their eyes met since knowing each other.
The first time was an admiration for the young, the second was recognition of identity, the third was mutual regard.
In the early morning, none of them slept; the same restaurant served hot pot as before, this time invited by Luo Fei.
Sitting at the table, Luo Fei ate his meal seriously without uttering a word.
The others quietly watched him, none moved their chopsticks.
"Chief, why don’t you say something, your silence is unnerving us."
Zhang Wei felt uneasy beside them.
"Don’t lose heart, we solved the case, almost stumbled but no big deal."
Others also offered comfort in succession.
Luo Fei placed his chopsticks down, his gaze calm as he looked at them, to show he was alright, he even smiled.
"It’s unrelated."
"You’re lamenting the child went astray, right?"
Zhao Donglai spoke, breaking Luo Fei’s state’s true reason with one sentence, and Luo Fei laughed lightly.
"Yes, with his character and capability, he could become an excellent detective in the future, but unfortunately, he went astray."
"Though this teenager finally uttered words of regret, that counts as his redemption."
