Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 66: Murdered just after inheriting Yiqing Farm (5)

In the evening, Qian Yin and his team returned to the Public Security Bureau and worked overtime to use more professional equipment to test and analyze all the physical evidence.

Half an hour later, Hao Hua received the test report.

He frowned as he read it, and then he projected the holographic test report and pointed at the data on it and said:
"There's something wrong with this clone. She might not be the kind of clone we normally know and understand. We previously overlooked the fact that a normal clone, even with the use of various drugs, would take at least three years to reach adulthood.

But Zhang Shan only returned to her ancestral home half a month ago.

According to public information, she was found by the Zhang family when her adoptive parents had an accident and they went to identify the bodies for genetic identification. The genetic identification results triggered a gene recorded in the missing persons genetic database.

To be precise, she was taken back by her great-grandfather.

Even if the Zhang family had obtained her blood and cloned her, it would have been impossible to successfully cultivate an adult of her in half a month.

We had overlooked this point before, until we just tested and found no drug residue in the cloned body. Then I suddenly realized that this clone was definitely not cloned through conventional means.

Or there is some new technology that we don't know about.

Or they grow naturally, without any drugs or anything else, and grow naturally in the nutrient chamber."

"It's unlikely to be natural growth." Qian Yin was very direct. "Let's not even mention how much trouble natural growth would take. Even if natural growth suppresses brainwave growth, the brain can't be this new. It seems like some new technology has appeared on the black market, some new cloning technology."

"I didn't expect this case to be so complex, involving both new cloning technology and psychowave weapons, something we've never encountered before. The Zhang family really went to great lengths to kill this little girl. Let's report this quickly. After all, we're a small place, and the pace of technological updates is slow. Perhaps the higher-ups already know about these technologies."

It just hasn’t reached us yet.”

Du Ping sighed thoughtfully.

"That's fine. Our technology is limited, and we can't trace the owner of the biochip in depth. Even if we guess that it was done by the Zhang family, there is no way without evidence."

Hao Hua took over the conversation.

We cannot rely solely on reasoning to handle cases. Ultimately, we must have real evidence, witnesses, physical evidence, and a complete chain of evidence.

Whether it is suspected to involve several of today's most cutting-edge technologies or involves the Zhang family, it is obviously not something they can control, and they are now willing to report the case.

In fact, they have done their best.

Even their eagerness to report the case had a hidden agenda: they were worried about pressure from the Zhang family. After all, if a powerful figure in the Zhang family really put pressure on them before they could report the case, it would be hard to say whether they could actually report it.

But if the case is reported early before the Zhang family puts pressure on us, there will be nothing we can do.

They could have easily shirked responsibility, as they had no idea this matter was related to the Zhang family. Due to technical limitations, they had no way of handling the matter and had reported it long ago.

Driven by this sense of justice, they discussed the matter further and ultimately decided to report the case to Planet A-4. This was because the head of the A-4 Public Security Bureau was a member of the Li family, who had always been at odds with the Zhang family. With leverage over the Zhang family, they would likely be willing to investigate further and seek justice for Zhang Shan.

After the discussion was completed, no one dared to delay.

All the information was immediately packaged and reported, and all the evidence was sealed and sent over urgently.

Then we went home after get off work.

……

Dixing, the ancestral home of the Zhang family.

It wasn't until the next day that they received word of the plan's failure. There was no other way. The distance between Emperor Star and Huaguang Agricultural Planet was simply too great, over 1.3 million light-years away. Most of Huaguang Agricultural Planet's technological artifacts were located on the farm, which was owned by Zhang Shan. Therefore, the resources they could use were limited, and most had only recently been sent over.

Including the mechanical bee and the puppet man.

At the same time, because they never thought about the possibility of the plan failing, they had no follow-up plan at all. After discovering that the grafting plan had failed, they discussed and reported it at all levels. Didn't that result in delays?
"She's crazy, why did she report it to the police?"

"No, how could the plan fail?"

The new head of the family, Zhang Hongyi, saw the bad news as soon as he woke up in the morning, and felt extremely depressed and confused.

In some cases, the logic of aristocratic families and ordinary people differs. When ordinary people encounter problems, their first thought is probably to trust the country and report the crime. However, when aristocratic families fight, if one of them goes to report the crime for no reason, they will be ridiculed. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, no aristocratic family would seek justice from Emperor Li Shimin if they were wronged by others. Instead, they would retaliate or fight privately.

There are more covert fights and fewer head-on confrontations.

So after knowing that Ding Shui had reported the case, Zhang Hongyi's first reaction was to find it difficult to understand, and then he became a little confused. How did the other party escape with such a perfect plan? Logically speaking, there was no way he could have survived!

"Master, that girl grew up outside, and most people's first reaction when encountering such things is basically to report it to the police, so this is probably the reason.

She would choose to report the case directly.

This time, both what we did and the means we used were not so bright. Do you think we should suppress it?"

The branch among the branches, Zhang Zhi, the housekeeper, said considerately:

"The reason for the failure is currently unclear. According to the person who initiated the operation, they had clearly detected that the girl had lost vital signs and were planning to successfully retreat as planned. However, before her artificial clone could successfully seize management of the farm, she suddenly came back to life. Through unknown means, they caused the biochips implanted in the mechanical honey bees and her artificial clone to sense the fatal danger, causing them to self-destruct."

"What a bunch of idiots, all they know how to do is make excuses. How could such a perfectly good plan fail? The biochip self-destruct program has activated. What's the underlying logic behind this? What kind of situation would cause it to self-destruct?
How do you judge a fatal crisis?"

Although Zhang Hongyi was a little angry, his emotions were generally stable. He just continued to ask in confusion.

Even if you fail, at least you have to find out the reason.

This will make it easier to take action next time.

You can't fall into the same ditch twice.

"That... I'm not entirely sure. We don't have any research on biochips. These are the latest experimental products purchased directly from the Institute of Psychic Power. We'll have to ask them."

"I didn't think I would fail, so I didn't ask too many questions."

Butler Zhang's forehead was sweating.

Zhang Hongyi naturally questioned:

“Why buy the latest experimental product?

Since this is a new experimental product that hasn't been officially launched on the market, its stability is bound to be poor. Can't ordinary biochips be used? What are you doing?"

"Master, that mechanical bee is equipped with a mind-wave weapon, and the new biochip also uses mind waves. It's said that the combination of the two can produce an effect greater than the sum of their parts. At the time, in order to ensure a one-shot kill, we bribed the people at the Psychic Power Research Institute and obtained two new biochips.

There was also one that was specifically used for testing. The experimental results were very good and the chip was not damaged, so we didn't buy a new chip. We simply used the new biological chip for both mechanical bees and clones.

Don't worry, I'll send someone to investigate right away."

That's definitely what I'm saying.

As for the actual reason, it is of course because the prices of biochips on the market are transparent and can be found by searching on the Internet. It is not easy to falsify or misreport them. There is not much room for maneuver when it comes to making the latest biochips from research institutes.

Specifically, who can check the accounts of the research institute staff who were bribed with hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars?

Moreover, speaking of this matter, Butler Zhang actually felt quite innocent and confused, because they had done experiments beforehand, and using the latest biochips could indeed increase the attack power of the micro-mental wave weapons carried by the mechanical bees, although the improvement effect was quite limited.

But that is also an improvement!!!
It is definitely not pure deception or funding fraud.

"Forget it, hurry up and find out the reason. Also, send someone to the local Public Security Bureau to put the matter under pressure. They just need to keep this matter private and not handle it. Also, once you figure out the reason, quickly design a new plan for me. Land prices are still falling, so there's no need to continue with the failed Huaguang Agricultural Star project.

Hurry up and get the land back. It will be easier to sell it later.

Even if those 30 billion mu of land cannot be directly sold due to various restrictions and it takes decades to sell, we can still sign a lease agreement first."

As the saying goes, there are always more solutions than problems.

Even if they acquired the 30 billion mu of land through grafting, they couldn't normally buy or sell it. However, many people in the world use more complex methods to circumvent difficulties. For example, instead of buying or selling, they could lease it for 100 years, then add a supplementary agreement to the contract, stating that after the 100-year lease, the ownership would automatically belong to the other party, provided the price was lowered a little.

There must be people willing to buy it.

Zhang Hongyi, who had just taken over, was similar to his original great-grandfather, hoping to achieve something great and lead the Zhang family back to prosperity. However, the Zhang family currently had little available liquidity, only a few hundred billion, and due to previous failed investments.

Many elders are more cautious than before.

According to the agreement, if he can successfully recover and sell these more than 30 billion mu of land, he can use the proceeds from the sales to invest freely.

Failure is already a reality and there is no point in pursuing it, so Zhang Hongyi did not say anything harsh, but just asked Butler Zhang to come up with a new plan and resolve the matter as soon as possible.

"Yes, I'll do it now."

Butler Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately made his promise. He then bowed and withdrew. He sent someone to contact the local police station to inform them not to file a case. He also sent someone to contact the researchers at the research institute he had bribed to secretly obtain two of the latest biochips for him, questioning them about the flaws in their biochips and why they had self-destructed.

Then he kind of lost his mind...

Because the results of both of these things were not good.

Needless to say, as for the former, Qian Yin and his team had already reported the case last night in a tacit understanding. Now that it has been reported, how can it be suppressed?

The latter, he learned from researchers at the institute, was that the new biochip contained the latest mental wave technology, originally designed to help humans activate their mental powers, but so far it hadn't been successful. The self-destruct system within was for confidentiality; if anyone attempted to forcibly decrypt it, or if the biochip detected an attempt to forcibly decrypt it, it would self-destruct.

It’s the confidentiality mechanism of their institute.

Then the researcher questioned why Butler Zhang went back on his word. When he bought the chip, he clearly said that he would only use it for experiments and would never force it to be cracked.

“Impossible, we didn’t force it at all.

Did you intentionally give me a defective biochip? Those two biochips clearly self-destructed during use. Just wait..."

Butler Zhang truly felt that he had been cheated.

Because he didn't force the crack at all.

Isn't this simply a false accusation against him?

"You're the first to complain. Luckily, our chip has a self-destruct function. Otherwise, if you guys really cracked it, what would I do with the hundreds of thousands of dollars you gave me?"

The researcher was both angry and scared.

If the chip lacked a self-destruct function and was successfully cracked and copied, the institute would undoubtedly investigate the matter. While it wouldn't be considered espionage, leaking confidential information, especially regarding high-value-added product secrets, would carry a minimum sentence of ten years in prison. How could he not be terrified?

The two sides soon fell into a heated argument over the matter.

After the argument, both sides realized the other's attitude wasn't fake, and they began to carefully reconcile their accounts. The researchers asked Butler Zhang to tell them the truth about what they had done with the biochips from their institute, and Butler Zhang explained the situation in a relatively cryptic way.

"According to that, there is only one possibility. A strong mental wave attack, or using mental waves to spy on the biochip, will make the biochip think it is being cracked.

If the person you are talking about does not have a mental wave weapon, or has no access to a mental wave weapon, then there is only one possibility left, even if it is no longer possible, there is only one possibility left, that person must have awakened his mental power!

Oh my god, we haven’t succeeded in our research yet.

No one was able to activate their mental power.

Who is that person? Can you tell me his identity?

After listening to Butler Zhang's cryptic description, Researcher Vikas immediately became excited. Although he himself found it a little unbelievable, he really couldn't think of any other possibility besides this one.

Activating human mental power is the ultimate goal of their research institute. They even developed this biochip to help achieve this goal.

So it was really hard for him not to get excited.

"Activated the mental power?" There is no doubt that Butler Zhang's mentality is really a little broken. Even if he is not a professional researcher, he knows how difficult it is to activate mental power.

As far as he knew, there were only less than ten people in the entire empire who had clearly activated their mental powers. Most of them were born with strong mental powers, and later underwent professional training or special stimulation to successfully activate their mental powers. They were absolutely national treasures.

A lot of the latest technology involves this.

There are also rumors that human mental power is related to the soul, involving a series of issues such as the limit of lifespan. If there is a breakthrough and transfer is achieved, then it is entirely possible to continuously clone new bodies and transfer mental power, achieving another kind of immortality.

Some people have tried brain transplants before, but the brain is still a flesh and blood organ with a lifespan. Many problems also arise after the transplant, and the brain becomes unlike itself.

Some people have also tried brain wave transplantation, but it also had no effect. There was a flaw, which was that it felt like it was not completely transplanted. Countless experiments ultimately proved that human brain waves are not actually equal to the soul.

Mental power is a technology that is currently at the forefront of the trend.

If that girl really awakens her spiritual power and the higher-ups find out, they will try to deal with her.

The difficulty level will definitely increase tenfold or even a hundredfold.

"Hey, can you hear me? Can you tell me who that person is? This is very important!"

Researcher Vikas continued to ask excitedly.

Butler Zhang finally came to his senses, rolled his eyes at him, hung up the phone, and blocked him.

Then he pondered for a long time, and finally felt that this matter could not be concealed. The more he concealed it, the more trouble it might cause, so he had to hurry back to find the head of the family, and nervously told him the information he had just investigated, and then waited anxiously for the next instructions.

Zhang Hongyi also had a headache.

How could such a small matter go so wrong?

"Do you still need to ask me what to do next?
Quickly clean up the mess, destroy all evidence, and pay attention to controlling public opinion. Even if this matter cannot be suppressed, it must not be made known to the public.

Also, send someone to visit that girl.

See if we can reconcile. We can't make a big deal out of this and make a fool of ourselves. Also, talk to that girl about how ridiculously low land prices have become. We'll try to convince her to work together to sell the entire Huaguang Agricultural Planet through a lease with additional clauses. She can't afford to run the farm anyway.

Every day of operation is a loss.

It would be better to sell it for hundreds of trillions.”

It seems that the plan of grafting flowers and trees is completely impossible to continue, so we have to change the plan.

As long as the girl agreed, even if I gave her a little more money, it would be fine. Even if I didn't kill her, there were still many ways to get the money. The main reason I didn't implement this plan before was that I didn't want to have any contact with the girl, nor did I want to persuade her to agree to cooperate.

But there is no other way now, I can only change the routine.

After all, hundreds of trillions of assets are involved. Even if the price is reduced, there are still hundreds of trillions of assets, which is worth paying attention to.
