Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 64: Murdered just after inheriting Yiqing Farm (3)

There were probably a dozen or so small goals in the card that her original great-grandfather left for her, so she definitely didn't need to worry about money for the time being. Naturally, there was no need to dwell on this aspect and she could simply express her desire to expedite the process.

"Okay, I'll give you some ID numbers.

Just give them those ID numbers and buy each of them a round-trip expedited airship ticket to your location. The total ticket price is about 300,000. Once you've purchased it, we'll arrange for the relevant staff to go there and investigate the case."

While Qian Yin was speaking, she had already retrieved the identity information of her colleague, packaged it and sent it to Ding Shui.

There was no way around it. This operation was definitely not legal, so it was impossible to transfer the money to a company account. If it were transferred to a personal account, it would be difficult to explain if investigated. Furthermore, they had no intention of making any money through this method; they simply wanted a more comfortable round trip and a couple of free meals. After all, according to normal procedures, they were only allowed to take budget flights, which didn't offer meals.

The seats were so crowded that they almost had to sell standing tickets.

Therefore, the best and safest solution is to directly ask the person who reported the case to help purchase round-trip expedited shuttle tickets.

Ding Shui had no objection to this. He quickly placed an order for spaceship tickets for them based on the personal information and round-trip addresses provided by Qian Yin. He also ordered a private luxury lunch for each of them. After all, he had already bought the round-trip spaceship tickets for 300,000 yuan, so there was no need to be stingy with this.

Immediately afterwards, Ding Shui used the instrument in front of him to completely seal off the entire farm management center, and moved the bodyguard robot to the vicinity of the farm management center for uninterrupted patrols, and then he felt more at ease to study the instrument.

Check past operation records, current status, etc.

……

On the other side, Qian Yin hung up the phone in a very good mood and ran excitedly to the next office:

"My friends, I've got a great job for you!

"Expedite it! They not only bought us round-trip spaceship tickets, but also ordered us a luxurious lunch. Hurry up and pack up, report and leave. The tickets have been bought, and we can just head straight to the spaceship takeoff hall."

"Expedite it, what case is it?"

"Is there any trouble on that mining planet?"

If it is a case within this planet, there is obviously no need for a spacecraft. However, there are only a few mining planets under the jurisdiction of their planet where accidents happen occasionally. At the same time, they are the only ones willing to speed up the process, so it is quite normal to ask this question.

Some people asked curiously, some had already started packing, and some were checking the case summary and on-site video that Qian Yin had just sent them. After all, some investigators only needed to go there in person, while others had to bring various equipment and instruments, so the preparation process was naturally different.

About half an hour later, they were ready and set off with a series of necessary instruments. It was not until they had their tickets checked and sat in the box specially booked for them by Ding Shui that they finished reading the case summary and the video.

And started to discuss actively.

Originally, they were planning to discuss the case within their group, as it would be inappropriate to sit with other guests to discuss the case. However, Ding Shui booked a private room for them, which only contained members of their team and no outsiders.

There are also sound insulation measures.

Naturally, there is no need to discuss it in the group. Direct face-to-face communication is more convenient and freer.

"This case seems quite simple. Let's go there and test the deceased's genetic sequence, then examine the brain injury and perform a simulated restoration.

The general facts of the case should be revealed."

After all, these days aren't the ancient times of hundreds or thousands of years ago. Most criminal methods are impervious to cutting-edge technology. The most troublesome cases for them are actually missing persons, the kind where no one is alive or dead, while cases with bodies are really easy to find.

It would be a rare thing if it couldn't be broken.

So everyone is not anxious at all.

However, Hao Hua thought about it for a while and couldn't help but said:

"It looks simple, but the issues behind it are probably not small. You see, this little girl just inherited a farm of more than 30 billion mu of land, and now, less than a week later, this happened.

I absolutely don't believe that the Zhang family has nothing to do with this matter. We shouldn't get too deeply involved. Just do a quick investigation and then report the situation."

"Don't worry, we're not stupid. We're only responsible for investigating the homicide and the cause of death. What does the rest have to do with us? Even if the deceased was really sent by the Zhang family to assassinate the girl, she didn't succeed. Now the assassin is dead."

Xu Jing smiled indifferently with his hands spread out.

"But then again, the Zhang family is too shameless. Although 30 billion mu of farmland is by no means a small amount, they have divided up all the assets of the Zhang family's direct descendants, and they didn't let go of this one farm, and they are so anxious.

That little girl has only taken over the farm for a few days!

So eager to act.

They are not afraid of alerting the government and causing a thorough investigation."

"What's the point of a thorough investigation? They can just pick someone to take the blame. There's no death penalty these days, so the worst he'll get is thirty to fifty years in prison. You have to remember, that's over 30 billion mu of land. Even if land is worthless now, with one mu only selling for 20,000 yuan, it's still a significant number. Not just a significant number, but a terrifying number."

If the Zhang family really succeeds in taking it back.

There are plenty of people willing to go to jail.”

"I really don't know what the old patriarch of the Zhang family was thinking. He left such a large inheritance to his newly adopted great-granddaughter without leaving any security for her.

Putting her in danger like this, maybe she's lucky this time, but next time, I really can't say."

"I also saw the news a while ago. When he recognized his great-granddaughter, he was already in a dying state, relying on some medicine to barely hold on. I guess he didn't have the time or energy to leave any guarantees."

While chatting, Zhu Huaiyong suddenly stood up and said:

“Wait, I have an idea.

I just suddenly thought of this after listening to your discussion. Didn't the information Qian Yin gave us clearly state that the assassin looked like the person who reported the case? We previously suspected that it might be a special bionic robot.

Used to deceive facial recognition and sneak in.

But I now have a more daring idea: the Zhang family wouldn't be secretly cloning humans, illegally. The person who reported the case also mentioned that a stranger who looked exactly like her was trying to seize control of her farm's management center. If it were a bionic robot, seizing control of the farm's management center would be quite difficult.

Because this requires fresh blood, frequent fingerprint recognition, and pupil authentication, which bionic robots cannot do.

Only clones, whose genes have been adjusted during their development to ensure that they are exactly the same in every aspect, can do this. Ordinary people cannot do this.

But the Zhang family definitely has this ability.

So is it possible that what they wanted to do was never to kill people and then seize the farm directly, but to quietly replace the reporter with a clone?

If the reporter hadn't survived by chance.

Then I guess it’s possible.”

After hearing what he said, everyone present reacted for a moment, and then nodded silently. Qian Yin suddenly raised his voice and said, "I was saying that with a head that exploded like that, it doesn't look like a bionic robot, and no bionic robot can do it so well. I even suspect that it may have undergone plastic surgery or a face transplant.

I just didn't dare to think about cloning people, but now that I think about it, it's really possible. Implanting a biochip in the clone's brain stem can not only control the clone, but also turn the biochip into a bomb.

It seems to be mentioned in the professional course on terrorist attacks.

But I never encountered it after I started working, and for a moment I really didn't think about it. The Zhang family is really insidious and bold. These are all things that are strictly prohibited."

"There's nothing those noble families dare to do!"

"Strange! If the Zhang family was so well prepared to seize the farm, how did the reporter survive? And judging by the video, the assassins were almost successful in seizing the farm's management center, and the reporter didn't step forward to stop them. How could they suddenly self-destruct?"

Although they had some guesses, there were still many puzzles. Out of interest in deciphering the mystery, even though they knew that even if they guessed the truth, it would be unlikely for them to bring down the Zhang family, they still pondered over it.

"I've found some supporting evidence. It seems that the assassin is very likely a clone. The Notary Public Office clearly states in its public column that if Zhang Shan, the person who reported the case, dies in an accident before the age of 80, the farm will be directly handed over to the state.

This policy is valid until Zhang Shan turns 80.

In other words, she could decide for herself whether to hand over her assets to the state after her death when she turned 80. If she didn't want to, she could just write a new will, leaving it to her descendants or returning it to the Zhang family. It was up to her.

But she cannot transfer the farm to others or sell it before she turns eighty.

It can be seen that the old head of the Zhang family has also considered his newly adopted great-granddaughter. He probably imagined that the Zhang family would protect his great-granddaughter for the sake of the farm, and even if it was insincere, they would be very good to his great-granddaughter, so that his great-granddaughter would hand over the farm to the Zhang family after she turned eighty years old.

Even if his great-granddaughter doesn't agree at that time.

He should also be able to deal with the Zhang family.

At least there shouldn't be any problem in protecting myself.

Or even if the situation gets worse and he is still no match for the Zhang family, and even his farm is taken away, he can still live to be eighty years old, which is not too much of a loss.

After all, if she died before the age of 80, the farm would become the property of the public. Even if she forged a will, it would be useless because Zhang Shan, before the age of 80, was not qualified to donate or resell her 30 billion mu farm.

But he probably didn't expect the Zhang family to be so ruthless, unwilling to wait so long, or even to pretend to be affectionate towards his great-granddaughter for decades. Instead, they wanted to directly use a drastic move, replacing his real great-granddaughter with a clone of Zhang Shan under their control, and take over the entire farm.

If the body is completely destroyed, there will be no evidence at all, and the people will not report it and the officials will not investigate.

They really managed to fool me."

Hao Hua checked the information and immediately began to analyze it carefully based on the information and known information.

But don't say that, even though the chain of evidence is insufficient.

At least this analysis is in line with human nature and their stereotypes about some aristocratic families. After all, it has been a long time since some children from aristocratic families have behaved like non-human beings.

However, after much discussion, no one still knew how the reporter escaped and survived. No one could guess, so they could only suppress their doubts for the time being and wait until they reached their destination.

……

While waiting for the investigators to arrive, Ding Shui had already inspected the entire farm. While successfully eliminating many hidden dangers, he also found out the real situation of the farm, which can only be said to be quite pessimistic.

This farm has been losing money.

In the original body's impression, the so-called decision-making error of the Zhang family's direct line may very well refer to this farm.

The farm no longer had any reserve funds. The inheritance tax of more than 30 billion had drained all of the farm's reserve funds. Due to insufficient cash, even when the original great-grandfather was still alive a few days ago, he sold off all the crops in stock on the farm at low prices to make up the difference.

In response to this situation, Ding Shui continued to watch advertisements and search for relevant information online. Based on some information on the Internet, he managed to piece together the situation.

The story actually started fifty years ago.

Fifty years ago, my original great-grandfather had just ascended to the throne. Young and full of energy, he wanted to make a difference and lead the Zhang family to new heights. At that time, the Zhang family had fallen behind in the rankings of the ten great families. It was no longer the third or second-best it had been, and its overall strength was roughly fifth.

It probably started from that year.

F-level planets are now available for purchase. Farming is very attractive to many noble families, not to mention hoarding a planet. Although there are many restrictions, having a planet as your own backyard is still quite attractive to many noble families.

So many people bought planets that year.

The original body's great-grandfather also bought the planet where this farm is now located, Huaguang Agricultural Planet. At that time, the original body's great-grandfather bought a total of three planets. After fifty years of hard work, the other two planets have been transformed into D-level habitable planets and are currently owned by the Zhang family.

After all, he used family assets to buy it.

It is normal to belong to the Zhang family.

Originally, the original great-grandfather wanted to transform all three planets into habitable planets. After all, habitable planets can definitely bring the greatest benefits in the future.

Most other families also have the same idea.

However, there is a problem with Huaguang Star. After it was purchased, trillions of dollars were invested in its transformation, and the transformation lasted for a full eight years. Only then did the environmental regulatory authorities discover through the latest physical examination reports of construction workers who entered Huaguang Star to work that there was special cosmic radiation near Huaguang Star.

Long-term residence can cause genetic distortion.

While this long-term duration is over ten years, and living in a radiation-isolating room will not have any impact, it's clearly no longer suitable for terraforming. The standard requirement for a habitable planet is that humans can live normally on the planet's surface without the need for a base or radiation-isolating equipment. If radiation is present in a specific area within the planet, terraforming might be possible, but there's no way to protect against cosmic radiation outside the planet.

Afterwards, the Zhang family paid a large sum of money to the construction workers, while searching everywhere for the source of the special radiation, trying to see if they could solve the problem.

While suing the government.

After all, the government didn't mention this when they sold the planet. If they had, the value would have dropped by tens of trillions. This is because the ultimate value of a planet that can't be transformed into a habitable planet is definitely different from that of a planet that can be transformed into a habitable planet.

In the end, the problem was obviously not solved, and the specific reason could not be found, but it was not solved anyway, otherwise Huaguang Star would not have become an agricultural planet now.

But the government did pay compensation.

Lost one hundred trillion.

This is equivalent to returning a full one hundred trillion yuan of the more than three hundred trillion yuan that the Zhang family originally paid to purchase the planet.

Later, the original great-grandfather had to change the plan and transform Huaguang Star into an agricultural planet. The radiation was actually very weak and would not cause hereditary gene distortion, and the impact on plants was even more negligible.

The impact on animals is slightly greater.

But it is impossible to keep most animals for ten years.

Therefore, there was no problem in transforming it into an agricultural planet, and it had been approved by relevant agencies. The next step was, of course, to continue to spend huge amounts of money to slowly transform it. It took nearly forty years to transform these more than 30 billion mu of land.

Everything was going well, although the profit was a bit low.

But at least it can maintain growth.

But two years ago, an accident occurred, or it could be said that it encountered a dimensionality reduction attack. The largest nutrition and food manufacturing group in the Galaxy Empire, Wanwu Group, successfully developed and launched the Wanwu Manufacturing Machine. All it needed was a complete gene sequence, sufficient energy supply and a small amount of additives.

It can produce most of the food in the world.

Although it is an artificial food, it tastes better than natural food and has no hidden dangers.

The most important thing is that the price is lower than natural food.

A lot lower.

After all, energy is no longer a problem nowadays.

Once this everything-making machine was launched, the entire natural food industry, or we could also say the entire agricultural and animal husbandry industry, suffered a devastating blow.

Nowadays, many ordinary people who are busy with work or lazy and have low dietary requirements generally rely on nutritional supplements to save time. Only when they have occasional meals together, or when they have free time, or when they have family gatherings or dates, will they either go out to eat or buy various ingredients at home and cook some delicious food to enjoy.

Therefore, the sales volume of various natural foods is not very high, and some can only be used to make high-end nutritional supplements. Only natural foods of particularly high quality that have obtained various organic certifications from various institutions can be sold at high prices.

Only the sales of fruits are barely acceptable.

Many people don’t buy groceries or cook, and only take nutritional supplements. However, they are still happy to buy some fruits that can be eaten by simply washing or peeling them and keep them at home.

But with the launch of the Everything Manufacturing Machine.

Everyone's diet has changed.

Because of this thing, the prices of many foods have dropped to an unimaginable level. For example, the lowest-grade frozen beef is 20 yuan per pound, but fresh beef made by the All-Things Manufacturing Machine, which is comparable to top-grade beef, also sells for 21 pounds.

Natural top-grade beef of the same grade.

It costs about 20,000 yuan per kilogram.

The texture and taste may be slightly inferior to artificial top-grade beef. After all, artificial beef can certainly be made more perfect, unlike natural beef, which mostly has defects.

The artificial beef here is not fake beef, nor is it soy protein. It is real beef. The extracted cells can even clone the beef of a living cow.

For example, the top-quality golden cherries, the natural ones are sold for about 8,000 yuan per pound, while the artificial ones are only 8 yuan per pound. They are even bigger in size, and their appearance and color are more perfect, without any flaws. The taste is not inferior at all, but is even more perfectly adjusted.

Moreover, according to official sources, the cost of producing golden cherries is about the same as that of producing ordinary apples.

For a time, the market was flooded with top-quality ingredients that were originally so expensive that ordinary people could not afford them. In this situation, even people who were accustomed to taking nutritional supplements would find it hard not to be tempted.

And change your habits and diet.

In this case, what can other farms, ranches, agricultural groups and fresh food groups use to compete with them? Only some cutting-edge food suppliers that were particularly famous in the past can barely survive by relying on the banner of natural food. The others have basically failed miserably and lost all their money.

It’s just that because the relevant technology has just matured, the promotion speed is not that fast. At present, it has only been fully promoted on the imperial star and the first and second level planets, that is, the AB level planets.

Class C and Class D planets are just beginning.

Having never left her homeland before, and with no internet connection between planets, her original self didn't know much about these situations, nor would she actively research them. Her most intuitive feeling was that prices had dropped significantly over the past year, and the cost of living had plummeted. The reason was simple: a large number of agricultural and animal husbandry groups and fresh food companies were selling off their natural food stocks, and many who were preparing to switch industries were also selling off. They had been relatively restrained and hadn't engaged in panic selling.

Otherwise, the price will probably fall to the bottom.

In this case, the agricultural planet created by the original great-grandfather and the more than 30 billion acres of farmland that had been transformed naturally became low-quality assets.

There are many complaints and accusations from the family.

It cost 378 trillion to buy the Huaguang planet, and later returned 100 trillion, which is equivalent to spending 278 trillion. Then the early transformation into a habitable planet failed, resulting in a loss of 100 trillion. Later, it cost more than 40 trillion to transform it into an agricultural planet. Although some profits were made afterwards, all the profits were invested in continuing to transform more land. Finally, the family calculated that a total of nearly 800 trillion was invested.

Agricultural development is originally good and land prices are relatively high. Overall, it is definitely worth it, at least there is no loss.

But now land prices have been cut in half.

Even if the land farms that have been transformed are included.

Huaguangxing can only be sold for 500 trillion at most.

The loss is close to 300 trillion yuan, and if the situation continues to deteriorate, the loss may be even greater.

Not only did it make the original great-grandfather fall ill, it also caused a certain amount of turmoil in the entire family. For a time, it could be said that he was the target of public criticism. Later, in order to stabilize the situation, the original great-grandfather had to sell off a large part of the direct line's assets, spending 400 trillion to fill this hole.

Of course, he couldn't give this money for free.

What was finally agreed upon was that the more than 30 billion mu of land that had been transformed would be allocated to him and become his own private assets, while the remaining land and mountains and rivers of Huaguang Star that had not yet been transformed would still belong to the Zhang family.

The reason it was so easily approved was that over 400 trillion yuan was indeed a significant amount. It had almost completely drained the direct line's working capital and also involved the sale of a significant amount of fixed assets. Furthermore, while the direct line's head of family was the decision-maker, the other branches also agreed. Otherwise, the family funds would have been completely unavailable. If they had simply accepted over 400 trillion yuan without any compensation, it would have been a disaster.

Which head of the family would dare to make decisions in the future?

Secondly, in the eyes of other branches of the Zhang family at that time, the direct line had become extinct, so the more than 30 billion mu of land was allocated to him. He would not live for many more years anyway, and when he died, the land would have to be returned to the family.

By then, the ownership of Huaguang Star will still be intact.

The entire Huaguang Star still belongs to the Zhang family.

If agriculture continues to decline, we can sell them all together and we can always get four or five hundred trillion yuan.

Of course, this means that the ownership of more than 30 billion mu of land is still in the hands of the Zhang family. In fact, the most valuable thing in the entire Huaguang Star is the more than 30 billion mu of land. In order to transform those lands, the Zhang family has invested a total of more than 40 trillion yuan. If they didn’t have those lands.

Only sell the remaining partial ownership of Huaguangxing.

Two hundred trillion is enough.

The value of developed and renovated farmland is definitely far greater than that of wasteland, especially wasteland that is not suitable for growing anything if it is not renovated.

Originally, the Zhang family branch had planned everything well.

But who knew that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway.

That is to say, kill out the original body.

In the end, the original great-grandfather was unwilling to give up and had to give up more than 30 billion mu of land and farms that had been transferred to his name and belonged to his personal assets.

It was handed over to the original body as a legacy.

As for the inheritance tax, her great-grandfather was well aware that the original owner couldn't possibly pay it. However, at the time, he didn't have that much cash flow, and the remaining ten or so small savings had already been given to the original owner. So, in the end, he had no choice but to harvest all the farm's inventory and what could be harvested, selling it to the Wanwu Group at a low price, generating 40 billion yuan to pay the inheritance tax.

How low is it?

All the money was lost, with a loss of 700 to 800 million yuan.

There is no other way. If the price is not lowered to a level lower than the cost of the synthetic food produced by the Wanwu Group using the Wanwu Manufacturing Machine, it will not be sold at all. This is the only way to do it when the money is urgently needed and there is no other cash flow.

And those things are not for sale.

Huge amounts of money have to be spent every day to keep it fresh.

In the end, those things will most likely be used by Wanwu Group to make low-level nutrients and continue to be sold outside.

So now there are more than 30 billion acres of farms.

Alas, it is really quite useless.

Or in other words, it's just a huge encumbrance! A huge burden!
