Mantis Stalks Cicada, Oriole Lurks Behind (Second Update)
Fan Chengqi's lips even flashed with smiles from time to time, and he even wanted to step forward and shake hands with these important figures in the top noble circles.
In the distant sky, Huo Yushen's Bat-style Fighter Jet was cloaked in the clouds.
He observed the situation on the ground through the virtual display in front of him.
Seeing the Quan Family's formation, he thought Quan Caiwei must have suffered a great loss, and Fan Chengcai was likely in dire straits.
Since even Yun Nvluo, Quan Yuxun's top secretary, had come forward, the Fan Family would definitely be implicated as well.
In this way, his plan to cleanse the entire Governor's Office of Guiyuan Star would be much easier.
Huo Yushen leaned back in the high-backed seat with a cold expression, one hand rhythmically tapping on the armrest.
Perhaps, he could send Quan Yuxun a big gift.
...
In front of the detached villa where Quan Caiwei had lived, Yun Nvluo and Zong Ruoan finished their greetings.
She looked at Fan Bowei, the head of the Fan Family, and said with a smile, "Are you Mr. Fan Bowei, the head of the Fan Family?"
Fan Bowei, who had been feeling uneasy, suddenly calmed down.
He felt that Yun Nvluo's attitude indicated that the Quan Family accepted them.
Quan Caiwei and Fan Chengcai must have succeeded...
With this thought, his attitude became even more calm and composed.
Fan Bowei stepped forward, cupped his fist towards Yun Nvluo, and said, "Secretary Yun, I've heard so much about you!"
Yun Nvluo nodded: "Since you're here, come in with us. There are some things we need to ask Mr. Fan."
Fan Bowei smiled, bowed, and gestured forward with one hand, "Please."
Yun Nvluo did not take the first step, but said, "You go first, I'm not familiar with the place."
This was true, she had just arrived and had not been to any of the Fan Family's villas.
Fan Bowei beamed, half-turned his body, and said, "Alright, come with me."
He first walked towards the steps of the villa.
The Quan Family Security guards at the entrance of the villa were all pale, but they still stood there with their hands behind their backs, like prisoners waiting for their final sentence.
However, to outsiders, it only seemed that the Quan Family, as one of the Four Great Noble Families, was strict in governing their household, almost on par with the Regular Army.
After Fan Bowei went in first, Yun Nvluo followed, followed by one of her attendants.
It was Xia Chujian, wearing a human-face mask.
Then came Fan Chengqi, followed by Quan Yugui, and finally Gu Shanjun.
Other elders of the Fan Family wanted to enter, but they were stopped by the people Yun Nvluo had brought.
They quickly formed a line, not only blocking the Fan Family elders, but also encircling the Quan Family Security guards who were standing guard at the door.
...
The group entered the villa and went up the spiral staircase to the master bedroom on the second floor.
Walking into the reception room, and then pushing open the door of the master bedroom, a bloody smell immediately hit them.
The bedroom was a mess, and the quilt on the bed had been dragged onto the floor.
The window was missing glass, and half of the curtains had been torn down.
And on the floor of the bedroom, blood was flowing everywhere.
Near the window, a naked, headless male corpse was lying on the ground.
"...This, this, this... Who is this?!" Fan Bowei's voice trembled as he stared at the headless corpse on the bedroom floor, feeling his heart beating faster and faster, almost jumping out of his throat.
Fan Chengqi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he almost couldn't breathe.
Could it be... Could it be... Things didn't develop as they had expected?! But how could that be! They had invested so much...
The entire small building had clearly been reinforced with physical shielding.
It was an electromagnetic shielding system based on building materials, capable of blocking the prying eyes of far-infrared thermal imaging night vision technology.
Its main purpose was to make the Quan Family Security personnel on outdoor alert "blind," unable to see what was happening inside the villa.
He had confirmed that morning that the physical shielding was still in effect, and no one should have known what happened in this villa.
But the corpse on the floor left him with no illusions.
Second Brother, so you failed…
But, if Second Brother failed, where did Quan Caiwei go?
Fan Chengqi's mind raced, and he immediately said, "This is my Second Brother! He was murdered, how did he get here?! We talked until very late last night before he returned to his own villa! I need to check the surveillance to see what happened! — By the way, where is the Quan Family Noble Lady? Is she frightened? Or is she missing?"
Yun Nvluo looked at Fan Chengqi, a faint smile still on her lips, and said calmly, "Fan Da Gongzi, are you suggesting that our Quan Family killed Fan Er Shao, and then threw him into our Noble Lady's bedroom? — Do you think the Quan Family is retarded?"
Fan Chengqi waved his hands hurriedly, saying with a hint of panic, "No! Of course not! What I mean is, maybe there was a villain who murdered my Second Brother, and then wanted to frame the Quan Family Noble Lady! My Second Brother is not as important as the Quan Family Noble Lady, I hope the Quan Family Noble Lady is safe and sound, and has not been harmed by the villain!"
"Is that so? In Fan Da Gongzi's heart, your Second Brother is a complete victim?" Yun Nvluo took out a mask and slowly put it on her face, "Excuse me, everyone, the smell is too strong."
Zong Ruoan had been frowning ever since he saw the male corpse on the floor.
He couldn't help but say, "How can you two be so sure that this is Fan Er Shao? — He doesn't even have a head."
Moreover, his upper body was naked, and his lower body was only wearing a half-removed jumpsuit.
In this state, both sides recognized him as Fan Chengcai, their eyesight is truly extraordinary.
Yun Nvluo smiled and said, "Colonel Zong, I didn't say for sure that this is Fan Er Gongzi, it was this Fan Family Da Shao who said for sure that this is his Second Brother. — So Fan Da Shao, why can you recognize him?"
Fan Chengqi didn't expect the fire to burn him, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said, "I am very familiar with my Second Brother. Although this corpse has no head, he has a scar on his shoulder, from a previous assassination attempt, a gunshot wound."
There was indeed such a slightly rounded old scar on the corpse's left shoulder.
Fan Bowei said with a gloomy face, "Since there has been a murder here, and the Quan Family Noble Lady is missing, we must call the police! Our Fan Family will definitely investigate this matter to the end!"
Quan Yugui could hardly believe his ears.
He thought he was scoundrel enough, but he didn't expect this Fan Family father and son to come up with such a method to escape! In the blink of an eye, they turned an abuser into a victim! And they kept dragging Quan Caiwei into it, actually using a threat of mutual destruction against the Quan Family…
Yun Nvluo also realized this.
At this moment, she still admired the Fan Family father and son a little, their minds were quick, and they could drag the Quan Family's reputation, especially the Quan Family Noble Lady's reputation, down with them.
The Fan Family father and son's plan was, if you want to pursue our responsibility, we will make the Quan Family's only Noble Lady of this generation completely discredited!
And everyone knew that the Fan Family, this kind of third-rate small Nobles, could not be compared with the Noble Lady of the Quan Family's main family, one of the Four Great Noble Families!
Fan Bowei and Fan Chengqi looked at Yun Nvluo with red eyes.
Yun Nvluo turned to look at Zong Ruoan, changed the subject, and asked in a low voice, "Colonel Zong, what are you doing here? You didn't answer me when you were outside."
Zong Ruoan sighed and said, "I'm here to persuade Mr. Fan to undergo Scraping Poison from the Bones, and hand over Fan Chengcai."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"Because Fan Er Gongzi has committed so many evils that even the Nobles' exemption from criminal law is no longer effective."
Zong Ruoan looked at Fan Bowei with his hands behind his back and said, "Mr. Fan, you promised me yesterday that after the Quan Family Noble Lady leaves, you would hand Fan Chengcai over to me, now, where is he?"
Yun Nvluo had now completely figured it out.
Previously, Quan Yuxun had told her that the Fan Family dared to go all the way and offend the powerful, it must be because they had encountered a life-and-death situation, and they were making a desperate gamble.
Now she knew that Quan Yuxun's guess was completely correct.
The predicament Fan Chengcai encountered was that he was being targeted by the Special Security Bureau, and not just any targeting, according to Zong Ruoan, the matter Fan Chengcai committed was so serious that even the Nobles' criminal immunity under the criminal law was ineffective.
Yun Nvluo was also a legal expert, and of course she knew which aspects the Nobles' criminal immunity included.
If even this was ineffective, then it was basically a death sentence.
It seemed that Fan Chengcai, in order to get rid of the Special Security Bureau's pursuit, had set his sights on Quan Caiwei.
Although Quan Caiwei was only the eldest daughter of the Quan Family's Third Branch, she was also the only daughter of the Quan Family in this generation.
The entire Quan Family doted on her.
The Fan Family thought Quan Caiwei was an easy target, but they miscalculated.
Yun Nvluo's expression was slightly cold as she said sternly, "What's the point of arguing here? Someone, take DNA samples on the spot and do an identity verification."
The Beichen Empire's gene sequencing technology is already very advanced. Portable gene sequencers can be bought as long as you want to buy them.
Quan Yugui's large Flying Vehicle happened to have such a sequencer.
Quan Yugui sent a message using the Quantum Optical Brain on his wrist.
Soon, two people in Quan Family staff uniforms came in carrying a matte black suitcase.
The two put on white isolation gloves, opened the suitcase, took out equipment and a syringe, then took a sample from the headless male corpse on the ground, and put it into the instrument for sequencing.
Five minutes later, the sequencing results were out.
The leading staff member announced the results, saying, "Secretary Yun, Quan Er Shao, according to the preliminary comparison results of the sequencing, the identity of this male corpse is Fan Chengcai. If further verification is needed, blood can be drawn from the Fan Family Patriarch for further sequencing and comparison."
Yun Nvluo nodded and asked the Fan Family father and son, "Do you need further comparison?"
Fan Bowei burst into tears, "What else is there to compare?! I believe the results Secretary Yun measured! I only pity my son! My second son! My second son! How could you... die so tragically?! Who killed you! I must find out! I will tear him to pieces! I must avenge you!"
Xia Chujian, standing behind Yun Nvluo, was simply dazzled.
The shamelessness of this Fan Family father and son had exceeded her imagination.
She never expected that they could portray themselves as victims! You ran to someone's daughter's bedroom in the middle of the night, and you still have the nerve to say that?!
This is the second update. There will be a new update at 12:05 tonight.
