Chapter 311: Perfect Criminal
“ng Chao, you ca at the perfect mont. Co and admire the newest Giant Sandworm we just modified.”
Ever since ng Chao discovered the remains of the super Giant Sandworm under Trash Site 4, Gao Ye beca friendly to him. There was an excited smile on his ugly. “It’s all thanks to you that we found a large amount of industrial wastewater, which can make Giant Sandworms mutate, in the drainage pipe beside Trash Site 4. We extracted the residue and created an original formula. Then, we managed to create a supergene dicine that can make Giant Sandworms evolve further.
“What you see is a Giant Sandworm that has been injected with supergene dicine—an Ultimate Sandworm.
“The efficiency of its rock eating and trash digestion is three tis higher than that of normal Giant Sandworms. Its abilities in the comprehensive utilization of trash is also five tis higher than the average. You can say that it can eat the astronomical amount of trash created by the tens of millions of Dragon Citizens every day, which will make it an existence similar to a perpetual motion machine. It can clean up the environnt and dig tunnels continuously, which will largely increase the speed at which we build the underground subways!”
When ng Chao stared at Gao Ye, who spoke with an excited flush on his face, he felt complicated emotions.
The longing that shone in his single eye convinced ng Chao that he truly wanted to develop Dragon City and do sothing for the tens of millions of comrades he had in the city.
So, how did this biochemical expert who buried his nose in books and experintal equipnt beca connected with a Supernatural Entity that nearly destroyed Dragon City?
ng Chao did not harbor any feelings of hate toward Gao Ye.
Even though so of his thoughts were rather extre, in these difficult tis, when many of their people thought of the future, their viewpoints often turned a little extre.
At the very least, when Gao Ye ntioned that 99% of people in Dragon City were normal humans, ng Chao could clearly sense his pity and discontent.
Unfortunately, all evidence pointed to Gao Ye.
He had the motive to kill Jin Yongqiang.
He could get in contact with Xie Xiaolei’s terminal, and he also had ways to get his hair, blood, and cornea information. He could even use biochemical technology to create a fake eyeball that belonged to Xie Xiaolei, which would allow him to get through the identification system.
As one of the creators of Spirit Creation Creatures, Gao Ye also would know that Xie Xiaolei had hired Drizzle Studio to control public opinion.
And the most important piece of evidence was definitely the Giant Sandworm in front of him.
It was a super Giant Sandworm that was swiftly becoming similar to the Supernatural Entity from ng Chao’s nightmare.
Unfortunately, he was the only one in all of Dragon City who understood the significance behind this piece of evidence.
In fact, even Gao Ye himself might not know as well as ng Chao just how the Ultimate Sandworm would turn out.
The next problem was this: how was he supposed to present the evidence to Lu Siya and the people from the abnormal beast research departnt when they arrived?
Based on the last few tis they talked to each other and the information he obtained from Ning Shewo, ng Chao had a general idea of Gao Ye’s personality.
A thought popped up in his head, and he suddenly realized that he might have been overthinking things.
It was probably worth it for him to take a bet in the current situation. Even if he lost, he would not lose anything.
“Director Gao, could you ask the people to go out for the ti being? I would like to talk to you about sothing,” ng Chao said.
Gao Ye was slightly stunned.
The spark in his eye disappeared.
His lone eye now seed like a burning ball of iron.
He nodded and signalled the people in the lab to leave. Then, he locked the door.
Now, only he and ng Chao were left in the lab. He stared at the Ultimate Sandworm below him through the strengthened glass.
Half a minute later, ng Chao finally spoke. “It’s the end, Director Gao. The police and people from related departnts are on their way here. They’re going to perform a complete investigation of Spirit Creation Creatures. I believe that they will be able to find traces of President Xie.
“You have trouble moving, so it’s difficult for you to use normal thods to destroy President Xie’s body. Your best thod was to throw
him into the Giant Sandworm’s hatching pond so they would eat him.
“But it has only been a while since it happened. Even if President Xie was really eaten by a Giant Sandworm, it would not be able to digest him completely.
“The mont we cut open the Giant Sandworms’ stomachs and search through every inch of the hatching pond, we will definitely find sothing. You should know better than I do just how advanced biochemical investigation technology is nowadays.
“But I’m more inclined toward the fact that you haven’t killed President Xie, or at the very least, you haven’t been able to get rid of his corpse just yet.
“Even though the employees have been taking turns taking leave over the past few days, it’s still early, and many of the employees are still working.
“I heard that you’re a workaholic. You treat the lab as your ho twenty-four hours a day. You spend your ti here every day, so it’s only natural that you understand the work-rest schedule of all the employees here, and you also understand the flaws of the surveillance caras.
“When it’s midnight and the number of employees in the company is the lowest, you would throw President Xie into the hatching pond so that the Giant Sandworms can eat him. After they digest him for twenty-four hours, not a single bone will be left of him.
“An adult who can take care of himself will only be determined as having gone missing after soone loses contact with them for over forty-eight hours. Then, the police will look into the case. At that ti, forget about President Xie, even the blood-stained earth in the hatching pond would have been eaten by the Giant Sandworms, and no one will be able to find a single piece of evidence. That’s your plan, right?
“Unfortunately, your plan won’t work. Everything has co to an end, Director Gao.”
Gao Ye listened to him quietly.
His face was invaded by viruses, bacteria, and all sorts of drugs, so it was covered in scars. His expression did not change.
“ng Chao, I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said calmly.
“It’s useless, Director Gao.” ng Chao sighed. “Perhaps my guess is wrong, and you have an even better thod to hide President Xie or his corpse. You also know the law very well. You know that without crucial evidence, it will be very difficult for the police to perform a complete search in Spirit Creation Creatures.
“But this struggle is aningless, because I am 100% certain that it’s you, and I also decided to use all my resources and everything at my disposal to prove that you’re a criminal.
“I believe that you aren’t afraid of death.
“I saw your pictures from university days. You were tall, mighty, handso, and elegant. You looked even more popular among girls than President Xie.
“Despite those looks, you were willing to face all sorts of dangers and stay in the lab every day, which ant you were infected by viruses and bacteria, and you ended up like this.
“I believe that life and death are nothing to you. You have decided to offer your life to biochemical modification technology and to your cause.
“In other words, your cause is your life.
“But I’ve already decided to prove that you’re a criminal, and President Xie has mysteriously disappeared during this mont. Even if I don’t have evidence that you’re the one who did it, once I make the accusation and you co in control of Spirit Creation Creatures, the company will no longer be trusted by the public, the governnt, and its own employees.
“I don’t know why you want to kill President Xie, but it’s definitely because you want to be in complete control of Spirit Creation Creatures to fulfill so sort of goal.
“Once I pin Spirit Creation Creatures with murder and President Xie goes missing with his corpse nowhere to be found, the rumors will soon spread through the city, and it’ll be impossible for you to get the resources you want to fulfill your goals.
“Then, even if the law can’t punish you, your cause and your life will co to an end. This is what I ant when I said that it’s all over.
“Of course, I might be paranoid and running my mouth off. You can chase away. Then, we can wait for forty-eight hours and see whether President Xie will appear.
“But here’s a word of advice, don’t even think about killing . I ran to Spirit Creation Creatures. There were a lot of surveillance caras that caught running here. I have also told my friend where I am, and the security guard, receptionist, and a lot of the employees saw just now. It’s aningless for to go missing. Your plan will still... No, your plan has already failed.”
ng Chao’s words sparked a light in Gao Ye’s eye, and that light could not be described with words.
He looked at the Ultimate Sandworm like a child staring at a toy he could not touch.
No, it should be said that he was a warrior who was staring at a weapon that was just within his grasp, but which he could not reach.
He heaved a long sigh as if he was removing so sort of disguise and seed to shed away all his fighting spirit as well. But most of all, he looked like he had thrown away a heavy burden.
“I’m simply not a perfect criminal, am I?” he asked ng Chao.
“No, your performance was very perfect.”
ng Chao was not praising Gao Ye.
In truth, if it were not for his status as soone who returned from the future and if he did not have the ability to “predict”, which allowed him to lock down on the existence of Supernatural Entities, there would have been no reason for him to suspect Gao Ye.
If it were not for him persevering and insisting on not letting go of a single piece of evidence that could not even be considered as evidence, Gao Ye’s plan would have worked.
No one would have paid attention to Jin Yongqiang’s death.
And no one would have paid any heed if Xie Xiaolei disappeared one day.
Once Gao Ye gained full power over Spirit Creation Creatures and obtained a lot of deals, he would have ten tis the resources compared to the past, and he would be able to create a perfect Ultimate Sandworm.
That Ultimate Sandworm would then turn into a terrifying Supernatural Entity.
But ng Chao could not understand it. “In the beginning, why did you wish for to participate in the investigation of murderous pets in Blessed Paradise? You ‘unintentionally’ ntioned to Elder Ning because you wanted him to bring along, right?”
“... I was worried that they would be unable to find the needle-shaped holes in the biochemical pets’ ear canals.” Gao Ye was stunned for a long while before he explained himself slowly. “Ning Shewo and Sun Yufeng are both old harvesters. They have experience and skill, but their thoughts are stuck in old channels. If they act according to normal procedures, it’s unlikely that they would discover that soone might have done sothing to the deepest part of the biochemical pets’ ear canals.
“But you’re different.
“I’ve seen a few of your harvesting videos, and I’ve heard so rumors about you. You have great imagination and often display harvesting skills that might not be fully developed yet, but are very creative. These skills that you show all symbolize the future developnt of harvesting.
“Since I knew that you have a close relationship with Ning Shewo, I decided to ntion your na. If he brought you along and you showed a stroke of brilliance, which led to you discovering the needle-shaped hole, I wouldn’t need to ntion its existence later, since if I was the one to speak of it, it would appear unnatural.”
