Chapter 41: She Wuyou


[She Wuyou Detained by Police?]——Changxin Morning News

[Lingquan City's Second Richest Tycoon Jailed!]——Flower Field Daily

[A Look Back at She Wuyou's Wrongdoings Over the Years!]——Jili News

Spiritual Spring Daily, the most authoritative news source in Lingquan City, has yet to publish any news regarding She Wuyou, while various tabloids have begun to stir up a storm.

Many people have seen She Wuyou's weakness and want to take the opportunity to bite him.

She Wuyou is, after all, the second richest tycoon in Lingquan City; if they can take a bite out of him, they are sure to profit greatly.

The higher a tycoon's rank, the larger the gap between them and the ones behind.

Capital inherently has a centripetal nature, and every capitalist wants to hold all the wealth in their hands.

The wealth of the richest tycoon in Lingquan City exceeds the total wealth of the city's nine wealthiest people below him, while She Wuyou's wealth exceeds the total wealth of the next eight tycoons behind him.

This distorted structure caused the moment She Wuyou's "health bar" appeared, many adventurers charged to start the battle.

They are certain that this time, even if She Wuyou doesn't die, he'll be stripped to the bone.

The trial speed of this era is extremely fast. She Wuyou was arrested as a suspect in the morning, and by the afternoon, he was in court facing trial.

She Wuyou, dressed in a suit, sat in the defendant's seat without a trace of fear, his expression calm, occasionally scanning the audience seats with flickering eyes.

In the audience, he saw several old rivals; they weren't here to watch him fail, but to take a share of his market.

Foolish!

She Wuyou thought to himself.

He wasn't worried about what might happen to him, because he never personally got involved in things, always using intermediaries to interfere.

Yan Luo and Chen Shan sat together in the audience, watching the calm and composed She Wuyou without a hint of worry.

Just then, Chen Shan couldn't help but ask the veteran hunter Du Guqing beside him, "Senior, is there really no problem?"

Du Guqing gave a cold snort, "What could be the problem? Don't be fooled by that old fox looking indifferent. If he knew what was coming next, he'd be utterly terrified!"

They were fully prepared, confident that She Wuyou could not break through the siege.

This time, they were determined to put She Wuyou behind bars!

Once She Wuyou is imprisoned, his assets will be divided, and in order to get a larger portion, the Abyssal Believers are sure to ensure his death in prison.

Like it's been said, the members of the Abyssal Believers aren't a monolith; many among them are rivals, although their antagonism is typically kept within a certain set of rules, never stepping beyond.

This is to ensure everyone's safety; if anyone acts outside the rules, they'll be under siege from others.

After saying this, Du Guqing looked at Yan Luo on Chen Shan's other side and whispered, "Kid, did you inherit Wen Chongwu's legacy?"

It was clear that Wen Chongwu had contact with these retired hunters.

Yan Luo nodded, "Yes."

Du Guqing further asked, "Can you tell this old man what exactly Wen Chongwu stole from right under the Abyssal Believers' noses? They went crazy trying to get it back, their fanfare was enough to make one tremble."

"A metal plate and a piece of jade," Yan Luo didn't hide anything and told Du Guqing directly.

Upon hearing this, Du Guqing murmured "Oh," then fell into thought and stopped talking to Yan Luo.

At that moment, the trial began.

"Defendant She Wuyou, do you know why you have become a suspect?"

The judge, dressed in a black robe with a Xiezhi emblem across his chest, asked She Wuyou.

She Wuyou smiled helplessly and shook his head, "Sorry, Your Honor, I don't know why I've become a suspect."

As long as he refused to admit guilt, no one could convict him.

The judge opened the evidence submitted by the police and announced, "In 2102, you raped a young girl, brutally killed her, dismembered her body, and dissolved her flesh and bones to flush them into the sewer. Your actions seemed flawless, with not even surveillance cameras capturing your crimes, but fourteen years ago, an abnormal reading was detected by the wastewater monitoring system. Huang Feipeng, the wastewater treatment plant employee responsible for overseeing the system at the time, ignored it.

"Half a year later, you repeated your old tricks, abducting another girl and taking her home to rape her. Again, Huang Feipeng was the supervising employee, and the similar abnormal reading aroused his suspicion. He then tested the wastewater and discovered 'human tissue' in it. Greed took over him, and he chose to delete the instrument's results and used this matter to blackmail you. For ten years, you were blackmailed by Huang Feipeng, harbored rage, and seized the chance to have him killed when he let his guard down.

"The victim Huang Feipeng was vicious and often shirked his duties at work. After finding he could extort money from you, he became even more excessive, and by 2110, he was fired from the wastewater plant, thereafter frequenting underground gambling houses. But this was all your plot against him. The more he lost at these gambling houses, the more he extorted you. Each time, you tacitly endured it, allowing his guard to drop against you. This enabled you to retrieve the evidence from him and subsequently find an opportunity to have him killed.

"Huang Feipeng's death became a cold case, because he had also made quite a few enemies at the underground gambling houses, and no one knew of your relation with him. He kept it tightly under wraps. Fortunately, not long ago, the police finally found decisive evidence, proving your connection to Huang Feipeng's death and to the deaths of the two young girls fourteen years ago: She Wuyou, this is why you are a suspect! Now, do you confess?"

Upon hearing this, She Wuyou sighed.

He knew that the 'decisive evidence' must be lethal enough to get him jailed; to break the deadlock, he could only employ a backup plan.

"Your Honor, pardon my presumption, I cannot confess."

She Wuyou sighed with a complex expression, "Because it wasn't me who committed these crimes but my twin brother."

These words caused an uproar in the court.

Though She Wuyou had several brothers, he definitely didn't have a 'twin brother'!

"Order!"

The judge brought down the gavel, then angrily looked at She Wuyou, shouting, "She Wuyou, do you know the crime of deceiving the court?"

She Wuyou nodded, helplessly saying, "Your Honor, I know you're very angry now, thinking I'm spouting lies, but... I truly haven't lied; I do indeed have a twin brother."

"Is this a farce?" Chen Shan, looking at She Wuyou trying to explain, muttered.

However, Yan Luo's expression turned serious, "No, it's possible!"

"What?" Chen Shan and Du Guqing both looked at Yan Luo in surprise.

Yan Luo explained to them, "Twenty-three years ago, there was a defect with artificial insemination and artificial wombs—during artificial insemination, there was a 0.002% chance of producing identical twins. If an artificial womb was used from the start to nurture the fertilized egg, then when twins started to differentiate, removing one would cause the other to die too. In such twin births, only one could have identification, while the other didn't legally exist."

Chen Shan wondered aloud, "How do you know all this?"

"With my current constitution, normal reproductive activity is difficult, so I looked into artificial insemination and artificial womb reproduction guidelines," Yan Luo admitted without reservation.

Chen Shan nearly lost his composure, his eye twitching uncontrollably.

It sounded just like something Yan Luo would say!

Du Guqing focused his attention back on She Wuyou, clenching his right hand tightly.

After much difficulty, they finally found evidence against She Wuyou, and managed to persuade the police to act against him, only for this result to finally come around…

In the defendant's seat, She Wuyou was recounting to the judge the events surrounding him and his twin brother.

She Wuyou was forty-four years old this year; when he was born, the hazards of artificial insemination and artificial wombs hadn't been resolved. He received an ID at birth, but his brother unfortunately became undocumented.

After that, She Wulu frequently acted in She Wuyou's identity, and so far, all the crimes attributed to She Wuyou were committed by She Wulu... Is this possible?
