Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 132: Even If She’s Crazy, It’s Still Dissociative Identity!
When saying the words "double kill," Chen Xiao was watching Liu Guai’s eyes.
It was not beyond Chen Xiao’s expectation.
Sure enough, Liu Guai showed a look of horror.
However, aside from horror, Liu Guai also had a strong sense of confusion.
Chen Xiao couldn’t help but ask, "What are you confused about?"
Liu Guai also knew he was doomed, so he simply walked up to Chen Xiao and the others.
"I don’t understand what you mean by double kill. Double kill means there would be two people, but where are those two people from?"
Chen Xiao immediately looked at Liu Guai in astonishment.
Hu Yue and Luo Dali noticed Chen Xiao’s genuine shock and were about to ask why he was so surprised when Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up:
"I get it now, it’s like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"
Luo Dali was bewildered and said with some exasperation, "Brother Chen, this guy is already a sitting duck, there’s no need for us to speak in riddles, right?"
"The situation is definitely complicated, so I summed it up in one sentence."
Chen Xiao said, then looked at Liu Guai: "You just told Zhou Zhiyu you wanted revenge. I think the revenge you’re talking about is for the broken leg. So what you did was to draw out Chen Yan!"
"Yes." Liu Guai didn’t hide it anymore.
However, as he responded, his eyes were filled with hatred.
Chen Xiao had long been certain that Liu Guai’s earlier words to him were all lies, and that there was a deeper grudge between him and Chen Yan.
But Liu Guai really did have only one crippled leg.
Therefore, the lies should have been that Chen Yan took advantage of the Liu Family’s weaknesses.
But if he didn’t have a hold over them, why could Chen Yan walk away after breaking Liu Guai’s leg?
For someone like Liu Guai, a local tyrant, he often acts without regard for the law.
In a moment, many things had crossed Chen Xiao’s mind.
Until Zhou Zhiyu came down from upstairs, Chen Xiao suddenly remembered something she said.
Three years’ time.
Liu Guai hadn’t even touched her!
Not even willing to give Zhou Zhiyu a child!
Previously, this didn’t seem like a problem, but now connected with the broken leg, Chen Xiao suddenly understood.
He looked at Liu Guai and said, "By now, you should surely tell us everything you know, right?"
Liu Guai, with a stern face, also glanced at Zhou Zhiyu and said, "Ask away, but I also want to know, are you planning to fish for Chen Yan with a long line?"
"Yes."
"Good, then ask."
"It’s not just a simple broken leg grudge between you and Chen Yan, is it?" Chen Xiao asked.
Liu Guai’s face changed suddenly, and he roared angrily, "What are you talking about? I warn you not to speak nonsense, or you won’t leave Liu Jialing!"
With just a few words, Liu Guai lost his mind.
Hu Yue snorted coldly, "To speak like that in front of me, a police officer, do you really not take me seriously?"
"I’m already doomed, but there are some words..."
Before Liu Guai could finish, Chen Xiao pressed him onto the coffee table with one hand: "I’ve been giving you face by not making it clear, what... do you really think I can’t deal with you?"
Liu Guai’s head felt like it was about to explode under the pressure.
Chen Xiao didn’t let go, nor did he continue the previous topic, but instead asked, "Second question, why are you so sure that Chen Yan will show up? Three years have passed, you must have noticed something, which is why you kept provoking Zhou Zhiyu and imprisoning Diandian, right?"
Zhou Zhiyu asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Xiao ignored Zhou Zhiyu and continued to question Liu Guai.
The latter sneered, "You truly have eyes that see into people’s hearts. Yes... I indeed noticed something, and that’s why I provoked Zhiyu at this time. I thought about it repeatedly before deciding to let her do this on my behalf."
"After all, I’m well aware of her personality. She had the motive to do this and lacked the wisdom to realize it was me behind it all. More importantly, unless I spoke up, it would be hard for anyone to know I was the one behind the scenes."
"It’s a pity that Ah Ping went to find you. You managed to unravel the murder case in Xiaofeng Village so thoroughly, how could these small tricks deceive you."
There was a touch of unwillingness in Liu Guai’s tone.
But as he spoke, he noticed Chen Xiao was laughing.
And after he spoke, Chen Xiao was still looking at him with a smile.
That smile, in Liu Guai’s eyes, seemed like blatant mockery.
"What are you laughing at me for? Victory and defeat are commonplace in war. Since I’m willing to gamble, I’m willing to accept the loss." Liu Guai said in a deep voice.
Chen Xiao shook his head, "Then carefully reconsider your words."
"Is there something wrong with my words?"
"It seems you can’t turn your head around either... If we ranked the participants in this case, Zhou Zhiyu would undoubtedly be at the bottom, followed by you, but have you considered that Liu Hua, you yourself might also be a pawn pushed by someone else?"
Liu Guai’s eyes widened, Chen Xiao paused and continued: "Hmm... let me spell it out for you, why did Yang Ziping manage to find me so conveniently?"
"Boom!"
The heavens played along perfectly.
In the lunar calendar’s seventh month, sudden thunderstorms are normal.
Chen Xiao glanced at the sudden downpour outside and then looked back at the people in the living room.
Their faces were all filled with shock, as if the idea of Yang Ziping being a suspect was an astonishing revelation to them.
But less than two minutes of silence passed before Hu Yue’s expression changed again.
He looked over in surprise, and Chen Xiao knew Hu Yue had been enlightened.
Soon after, Liu Guai also realized, shaking his head repeatedly and muttering to himself:
"How could it be? How could Ah Ping also be pushing everything? She’s gone mad!"
Chen Xiao sneered, "Then let’s assume she’s truly mad, and her madness manifests as—dissociative identity disorder!"
"Dissociative identity disorder? Brother, that’s a bit terrifying!" Luo Dali blurted out instinctively.
Chen Xiao smiled, "Yes... dissociative identity disorder. Her primary identity is a gentle, fragile single mother. But the identity split off from her primary personality is extremely intelligent and possesses a strong ability to plan."
Speaking of this, Chen Xiao directly asked Luo Dali: "Where did we first meet Yang Ziping?"
"On our way back to Nanqiao Town, oh... and that day, just like this, there was a sudden rainstorm."
Chen Xiao nodded, "Yes, there was rain that day too, but do you really think she didn’t notice us?"
Luo Dali’s eyes suddenly widened, exclaiming, "Brother Chen, are you saying she actually recognized us long ago!"
Before Chen Xiao could respond, Luo Dali slapped his thigh, "I get it now, no wonder she wouldn’t interact with anyone that day. She didn’t dare to look up, afraid that if she made eye contact with us, she wouldn’t be able to ’accidentally’ find you the next day!"
Chen Xiao gave him a thumbs up, "Exactly, but the next day at the Criminal Police Team entrance, amazingly, Yang Ziping brushed past me and asked, ’Are you Chen Xiao?’"
Hu Yue also remembered the scene at the time and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, now that you mention it, it really was suspicious. In such a noisy environment that day, even if we were talking with you, if she wasn’t intentionally listening, how could she have just walked past you and directly asked if you were Chen Xiao?"
"So everything seems coincidental but is, in fact, premeditated! She was waiting all along for the Xiaofeng Village case to be solved. As soon as it was solved, it was time for her to leverage the public opinion to achieve her goal!"
"But why leverage public opinion? By stirring up things, Chen Yan would show up?" Chen Xiao muttered, frowning suddenly.
Soon, inspiration hit Chen Xiao, and he was overjoyed as he looked straight at Liu Guai:
"I know why you’re all so sure Chen Yan will show up this time!"
