Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 74: Murdered just after inheriting Yiqing Farm (13)

In the next few days, apart from slightly adjusting her sleep schedule at the beginning, Ding Shui focused most of her energy on reading the information provided by Su Yuxi. It can only be said that the big family is really deeply rooted.

The total population of the Zhang family is close to 30 million, not including some people with given surnames and outsiders who work for them.

They can be found in almost every industry.

The core industry, or the core development direction, is actually the control of various resources. Each major resource department has its own people, and the mineral resources of major habitable planets, including water resources and other resources.

A large part of it is also controlled by them.

As for the two habitable planets that belong to them, all the resources belong to them. If it were not for the relevant policy restrictions and the fact that the Galaxy Empire itself has no shortage of habitable planets, they would probably charge for air and sunlight.

The core reason why their family has been constantly marrying into major families is that having people from their family in the resource department alone is far from enough to be safe, but it is too late for them to intervene in other departments, or it is difficult for them to enter the core level, so they can only obtain support and complementarity through marriage.

Originally, the Zhang family's plan was perfect, but now there is a flaw, that is, there are no one from their family in the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate, or in other words, their family members have no say and basically have no say.

At most, they rely on taxes and the advantages of the group in their hands.

Put some pressure on the local security bureaus.

If the level is a little higher, or if there is a Li family member backing them up, they will be helpless and can only give up.

The core reason is of course because those two departments are the base of the Li family. The two families broke up thirty years ago and even fought a war, and each suffered losses.

Now they have already torn their relations openly.

Not to mention the secret competition.

While this is the information that can be found publicly, the hidden details are much more numerous and much darker. To say they committed murder, arson, and all sorts of evil might be a bit of an exaggeration, but the Zhang family did employ a group of thugs and assassins who did their dirty work.

Thirty years ago, during the war with the Li family, the Zhang family suffered the most from this shadowy influence. Not only were many of their scandals exposed, leading to public boycotts, but many of their businesses were also shut down. In the years that followed, without the people to do their dirty work, the development of many of their businesses was more difficult than before.

It took nearly twenty years to recover.

But it has not yet recovered to its peak form.

In addition, the Zhang family’s internal strife is also quite serious, and the internal strife is not a recent thing. It started a hundred years ago. The core reason is that the direct lineage has few connections.

A hundred years ago, a major event happened to the Zhang family.

At that time, when the Zhang family was at its peak and even had a tendency to overpower the number one family, the Liu family, some of the direct descendants felt that their ancestral temple was not majestic enough. So after some consultation, the direct descendants decided to buy a planet that was bigger than the Liu family's and completely transform that planet into their Zhang family's ancestral temple.

From now on, all sacrifices will be made to that planet.

At their level, what they often compete for is the ability of their descendants and face.

Their family had no shortage of capable descendants at that time.

As for face, ancestor worship is undoubtedly the biggest thing involving face, so it is understandable and normal for their family to want to work hard in this regard.

But something went wrong.

After their family spent a huge amount of money to build a planet-level ancestral temple, they were bound to go there to offer sacrifices. At that time, the entire Zhang family's direct line could be said to have come out in full force, a total of more than 3,000 people. After 3,000 people went, only the elderly, the weak and the sick were left to guard the ancestral land. Many side branches also went, but their status was not high enough. Only some elders of the clan with relatively high status and prestige were qualified to go with them.

Security measures are also very high.

Even if there are interstellar fleet-level pirates coming to attack, there is no need to be afraid. This is the confidence of the Zhang family.

There were no problems at the beginning, and the ancestor worship ceremony went quite smoothly, and there was even a live broadcast. But just as the ceremony was over and they were about to pack up and go back, an aurora flashed by, and they all died.

Including the planet that was transformed into the ancestral temple.

They all vaporized in an instant.

They encountered a gamma-ray burst.

Gamma-ray bursts are the most powerful explosive phenomena in the known universe. Theoretically, they are caused by the collapse and explosion of a massive star when its fuel is exhausted, or by the merger of two nearby dense stars (black holes or neutron stars).

It can be as short as one thousandth of a second or as long as several hours.

The energy of the explosion exceeds the entire mass-energy of the star.

At that time, the entire Zhang family was stunned, and so were the people from the major families who were watching the live broadcast, and even the Galaxy Empire government. In the beginning, some people had conspiracy theories and suspected that it was the Liu family who did it. Because the Zhang family was challenging the Liu family's status as the number one family, even the imperial government was a little afraid.

After all, if the Liu family really mastered this method.

Above the government.

There is no problem with being the emperor!!!
The Liu family repeatedly denied the rumors, stating they lacked the capability. Subsequent testing confirmed the Liu family's involvement. While they intended to target the Zhang family, they chose a different approach. Officially released testing revealed that the Zhang family had constructed a wormhole near the planet, which had been converted into their ancestral temple, to facilitate ancestral worship. The gamma-ray burst was originally 40 million light-years away, so even if detected at such a distance, there would be no need for an alert. However, it somehow entered a natural wormhole and then, coincidentally, emerged through the Zhang family's wormhole.

Of course, some of this is speculation.

Because there is nothing left at the original place, even the planet has been vaporized, not to mention the wormhole that has been opened.

The relevant departments can only make decisions based on the existing situation.

Make reasonable and bold guesses.

Nowadays, all wormholes are equipped with various early warning systems and self-destruct systems, fearing a recurrence of the situation similar to the Zhang family's. If a similar situation were to occur again, the wormhole would simply self-destruct. While this would result in the loss of a wormhole, and possibly even the destruction of some ships currently traveling through it, the ultimate losses and casualties would certainly be less than a gamma-ray burst.

It can be said that the Zhang family took a risk for everyone.

After this incident, the entire Zhang family suffered heavy losses and was seriously injured. It would be an exaggeration to say that the entire direct line was wiped out, but it was true that only two or three cats and kittens were left. My great-grandfather was the oldest at that time.

Of course, this refers to the younger generation.

With the support of the only remaining direct lineage, clan rules and some clan members who still supported the direct lineage, the original body's great-grandfather successfully inherited the position of head of the Zhang family, and began to recuperate and encourage childbirth, mainly encouraging direct lineage to have children.

But it's no use.

After all, the current law stipulates that monogamy does not allow concubines, and secondly, their family does not support the artificial synthesis of embryos. Most importantly, even if the law stipulates that illegitimate children have inheritance rights, the Zhang family will not recognize it.

At most, they give some money, nothing else.

It is even more impossible to let an illegitimate child be the head of the family.

As a result, the more anxious the original great-grandfather was, the worse the effect became, and in the end he only had Zhang Ai.

The direct lineage has declined to such an extent that the old and the young can't even make up to twenty people. How can those side branches with a population of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands not be tempted and want to shake the direct lineage and become the direct line themselves?

It can be said that after so many people in the direct lineage died.

Internal strife within the Zhang family is inevitable.

Unless the direct descendant voluntarily abdicates.

Moreover, even if the direct lineage voluntarily proposes to abdicate, many of the remaining branches are of similar strength. No matter which branch comes to power, it will probably be difficult to convince the people and there will also be internal strife.

Therefore, internal strife within the Zhang family is actually inevitable.

From these materials, we can see that the hundred-year history of the Zhang family can be summarized as the last dying struggle of the direct line of the Zhang family. As the saying goes, a centipede is dead but its legs are still stiff. The direct line of the Zhang family is equivalent to the centipede that is dead but its legs are still stiff. In fact, it died a hundred years ago.

It just took another hundred years for it to completely freeze.

Even without any evidence, Ding Shui was almost certain that the events that had occurred in her family were the work of a branch of the Zhang family. Furthermore, given the principle that the one who profited the most was most likely the murderer, the branch of the family, formerly ranked fourth and now the direct descendant of the Zhang family, was the most likely culprit.

In addition, the most important thing is.

The fourth-ranked branch was originally responsible for the assassin business, the dirtiest of all the Zhang family's dirty work personnel. The sixth-ranked branch was responsible for the thugs, who only threatened, coerced and bribed. The assassin business was the real and most shameful side!

Of course, these are just speculations. Ding Shui currently has no concrete evidence.

After reading so many things at once, Ding Shui felt her head was a little swollen, and she was too lazy to read other irrelevant or minor information.

Afterwards, I specially bought a deep sleeping pill and slept for a full 24 hours, specifically to relax my mood, empty my mind, and restore my original state.

Only then did he recover from the Zhang family's century-long history.

The next step was to quickly pack up and go collect the body from her adoptive parents. After a few days of negotiations, both the insurance company and the relevant departments had successfully settled the matter, so Ding Shui could naturally take the body back.

The process was quite smooth and without any obstacles.

Just sign your signature when you get there.

Looking at the two corpses, Ding Shui suddenly looked at the contact person who came with her. Zhao Ya asked:

"Sister Zhao, do you provide genetic identification and tracing services? That is, you can find all relatives who may be related to this gene. I want to identify my adoptive parents' genes to see if I can find their relatives and find out their true identity."

That’s right, if the original body wanted to take back the remains of his adoptive parents, the most important purpose was to let them rest in peace.

Dingshui has another purpose besides this one.

Another purpose is to find out the true identity of her adoptive parents. The identity and experience of her adoptive parents definitely contain important clues. Otherwise, the Wanshuiyuan Group controlled by the Zhang family would not have to spend such a huge price to destroy all traces of her adoptive parents.

Although I don't know why they didn't move the body.

The body didn't disappear quietly.

Dante Shui decided to start with the bodies and look for their true identities from a genetic perspective.

“Provide services, but you can’t.

The dead naturally have no privacy at all. In addition, since you are a relative of the deceased, it is appropriate and legal for you to check their genetic sequences. However, the genetic sequences of other living people undoubtedly still have a certain degree of privacy.

No official permission was obtained.

We cannot make a random comparison.

There are only two possibilities to achieve what you said. One is your previous situation, where someone puts a gene sequence that is highly correlated with your gene sequence into the missing persons gene bank, making it free for everyone to compare at any time. But obviously, there is no one in the gene bank who has a close blood relationship with your adoptive parents to do this.

Otherwise, when their genes are compared with yours, it could trigger a missing persons gene pool alert.

The second is involvement in a crime. If someone with similar genes to your adoptive parents is involved in the case, but their identity is uncertain, the relevant departments have the right to access the gene bank of all citizens of the Galaxy Empire for comparison, in order to determine the identity of the person involved and arrest them.

Zhao Ya had said so much, but it was actually quite simple to summarize. First, if the authorities wanted to find someone, they could do so. Second, if a direct blood relative wanted to find someone, they could also do so. But the key point was that Ding Shui wasn't a direct blood relative, so there was no solution.

But seeing Ding Shui was very disappointed, Zhao Ya said:

"Of course, I'm talking about us. After all, we're an official agency, so we're definitely more strict. Some private institutions can also do it, but their databases aren't as complete as ours, so the accuracy isn't as high.

At the same time, they also have channels to avoid risks.”

Now that I’ve reminded you of this, how could Ding Shui not understand?

Their official agencies have no choice but to follow regulations and cannot do these things. However, some small private institutions have no problem, but they cannot guarantee things like accuracy and the comprehensiveness of the gene bank.

There is nothing perfect in this world.

In response, Ding Shui gave hundreds of thousands of shopping cards to express his gratitude, and then hurriedly left with the bodies of his adoptive parents. He also contacted Su Yuxi and asked him to recommend a reliable non-official organization that could do this.

Su Yuxi is still very reliable in this regard.

Ding Shui quickly recommended three companies: the closest, the most cost-effective, and the most expensive with the best service and the most reliable. After weighing the pros and cons, Ding Shui decided to go with the most reliable one. Since she had to spend money anyway, why not spend it all at once?

If it's close and cost-effective, I can't get it.

Not only a waste of money but also a waste of time.

Aside from a minor setback when Ding Shui wanted to take the two bodies on a spaceship, forcing her to charter a ship, everything else went smoothly. In less than six hours, Ding Shui arrived at her destination. Because she had made an appointment in advance, she was quickly taken inside for a thorough examination of the two bodies she had brought.

An autopsy service is also provided.

Half an hour later, the autopsy results came out.

Ding Shui didn't care much about the autopsy results at first. He was mainly concerned about the upcoming genetic testing and genetic comparison, because the cause of death had already been officially determined.

No one questioned it.

However, Ding Shui discovered a big problem just by flipping through it, and quickly called the staff:

"Take a look at this. What does it mean to find signs of embryo implantation? Are you sure this so-called embryo implantation was found in my adoptive mother's womb?"

“The test results say so, and the test data here shows that there is no problem with the test results.

Do you have any questions? Although their bone age is not young, it is not uncommon for them to get pregnant at this age.

The staff member was a little puzzled, but quickly told the truth.

"Do you have the technology to detect whether the embryo implantation is the result of artificial intervention or something else?" Based on the currently known information, her adoptive parents are simply unable to get pregnant. Even if they are pregnant, it should be the result of artificial intervention, but their surname is Zhang.

There is a high probability that it is a member of the Zhang family.

But the Zhang family should not do this. In short, this is very strange. It doesn't make sense that they didn't do this for the past 20 years, didn't get pregnant, and suddenly got pregnant before dying.

For some reason, she felt a little confused.

I have an idea but I don’t dare to think about it!!
Hearing this, the staff member laughed directly:

"No testing is needed, there was definitely no artificial intervention, it was a natural pregnancy. Nowadays, the technology for in vitro fertilization of embryos is quite advanced and the price is not expensive. If there was artificial intervention, they would have been directly placed in vitro for fertilization.

If artificial intervention is required, autologous fertilization is also required.

There's no way you'd be in such a hurry to get on a spaceship.

Under normal circumstances, people who do this must wait in the hospital for three to five days, and after confirming that the embryo has implanted, they must take careful care of themselves for half a month before they can be treated like normal pregnant women.

According to the autopsy results, the embryo should have officially implanted after they boarded the spacecraft. If it was really artificial intervention, the hospital would not let them go at all, or even if they left, they would have to sign a series of waivers in the hospital. I have experience in this regard.

If you don't believe it, you don't need to retest. Just check if there are any relevant medical records."

There was no need to check for relevant medical records; there definitely weren't any. Ding Shui had checked them earlier when he'd tried to retrieve their genetic sequences, and there was no record of any artificial pregnancy, let alone any infertility treatment. More accurately, there wasn't even any record of any medical examinations.

"Do you have any further questions? If you insist on being retested, we can help you."

The staff member continued in a gentle tone.

It doesn't take much to do it once anyway.

If the customer insists, then do it!

"No, thank you for your help!" Ding Shui was really confused now. After refusing, he started to search for relevant information online, but no matter how he checked, there was nothing wrong with what the staff said. That was the fact.

Even if they are not done in a regular hospital.

Made in a small private workshop!
If they valued the child, they would not have boarded the spaceship so early. Besides, their annual leave had not yet ended, and they had enough time to play outside for another ten days or half a month. There was no need to rush back.

Taking all these circumstances into consideration, Ding Shui now even has some doubts that the people who died were not her adoptive parents at all.
