Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 91: There Must Be a Story Between Them!
When Chen Xiao finished speaking, Hu Yue paused for a second, then his face was full of shock.
He knew too well the significance of what Chen Xiao had said.
Once it’s confirmed that the murderer wanted Qin Zhao to see who was killing him before he died.
Then, nearly eighty percent of the previous investigation of this case could be overturned!
The key person in the whole case would no longer be Guo Ning, but Qin Zhao!
If it wasn’t him, then why would the murderer bother to make sure he saw who killed him?
Hu Yue was so shocked that he couldn’t speak; he had received a call from Guo Zhengchang.
He also knew what inferences Chen Xiao had made!
One of them was overturning the previous investigation centered around Guo Ning!
Although Hu Yue felt a refreshing sense when he heard it, the uniqueness of Guo Ning made him feel the case might still be deeply connected with her.
But now, he was wavering.
Especially after recalling the demonstration Chen Xiao had just shown, Hu Yue began to lean toward Chen Xiao’s theory.
But he didn’t know what Chen Xiao was thinking at the moment.
Because even with such speculation, he couldn’t be one hundred percent sure. But if he had a test subject, he could come to a foolproof conclusion!
But could such an experiment be conducted?
It couldn’t be done!
He can’t learn from the murderer and break someone’s neck, can he?
Chen Xiao took a deep breath, constantly reminding himself: "What you have gained is the understanding of the power of killing, not the actual power to kill, control yourself!"
With this warning to himself, Chen Xiao dismissed all those chaotic thoughts from his mind.
Clearing his thoughts, Chen Xiao took a flashlight from a police officer and approached the jar containing Jin Meng’s body.
After putting on a pair of gloves, Chen Xiao’s hand rested on Jin Meng’s neck.
She was killed by being stabbed through the neck with a knife.
The murder weapon had long been extracted, but when Chen Xiao’s fingers touched the terrifying wound, a scene seemed to play out in his mind at that moment.
In a silent mountain forest, Jin Meng, clad in casual clothes, was alone.
Her gaze wandered around in confusion, as if she was calling out to her companions.
Yet, nearby, a pair of cold eyes were fixedly staring at her.
When she approached those eyes, the person suddenly lunged and pinned her to the ground.
Before Jin Meng could resist, the cold sharp knife had already pierced through her neck.
At that moment, Jin Meng definitely wasn’t dead.
Her body seemed to struggle a bit, but unfortunately, she couldn’t struggle for long before her vision rapidly blurred.
The scene vanished.
Chen Xiao withdrew his hand from Jin Meng’s neck.
The scene just now was entirely constructed under the power of construction.
He wouldn’t tell anyone about the content of the vision because it could only be considered imagination.
Chen Xiao bent down and whispered something into Hu Yue’s ear before turning to leave the cellar.
A curious detective from Qingxi asked, "Captain Hu, what did Chen Xiao just say?"
"Nothing, he’s gone to find Yu Gui."
The curious policemen nodded and didn’t ask further.
Soon, Chen Xiao appeared at Yu Gui’s house.
Yu Gui’s parents were sitting in the living room, both in a daze.
The only difference was, while in a daze, Yu Gui’s mother was also shedding tears.
Chen Xiao knocked on the door, and Yu Gui’s parents turned their heads simultaneously.
Seeing it was Chen Xiao, Yu Gui’s mother immediately stood up.
Yesterday in the room, his mother had also seen Chen Xiao’s gestures, and thus had heard what Yu Gui said afterward.
"Boss Chen, you’ve come."
His mother didn’t ask why he had come, evidently thinking that with the appearance of Jin Meng and Qin Zhao, Chen Xiao would eventually come to their house.
Chen Xiao slightly nodded, "Hmm, how is Yu Gui doing now?"
"He was not doing well today, but after hearing that Jin Meng and Qin Zhao were found, he seemed to recover a bit. But he’s still lying in bed, not speaking and just shedding tears."
Chen Xiao knew what Yu Gui was sad about.
An old saying goes, one must see people alive or see their corpse when dead.
When Jin Meng and Qin Zhao were missing, no matter how cruelly reality implied their deaths, as long as their bodies weren’t found, those who cared about them would harbor some hope.
Now that the bodies were found, Jin Meng and Qin Zhao could never come back to life.
This was another heavy blow for Yu Gui.
Chen Xiao walked into the room where Ye Xiu was whispering something to Yu Gui by the bed.
Seeing Chen Xiao, Ye Xiu looked relieved and said, "Brother Chen Xiao, you’re finally here. Talk to Brother Gui. He’s been silent since the news about Brother Qin Zhao came."
Chen Xiao sat by the bed, looking at the very distressed Yu Gui: "Has every last hope been shattered, leaving you in despair?"
Yu Gui, with some effort, turned his head and looked over.
Chen Xiao didn’t respond, just pointed to the two blood-written words on the pillow: "Alive."
Yu Gui’s eyes seemed to regain some focus, and Chen Xiao continued, "If what you wrote still stands, I have a few questions. If you can speak, do so; if not, respond by blinking or closing your eyes."
"Okay." Yu Gui opened his mouth, his voice accompanied by a phlegm-laden gurgle.
"Did Qin Zhao have any conflicts with anyone after coming to Xiaofeng Village? Although I don’t know him, I heard from Guo Ning’s grandfather that his conduct wasn’t very good."
Yu Gui: "No."
"Did he have none, or did everyone have no conflicts with anyone?"
"No one did." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Second question, who do you think could have overheard the night’s conversation between your mother and Guo Ning?"
Yu Gui: "I... I can’t answer that. Anyone could have, but how could they kill someone?"
"Give me a name."
"My cousins, my uncles, any of them could have. They... they were curious about Guo Ning and her family, so... it’s possible."
Yu Gui spoke in fragments, but Chen Xiao didn’t get the answers he needed from these two questions.
After pondering, Chen Xiao asked again: "Did you know Qin Zhao wanted to pursue Guo Ning?"
Yu Gui blinked to show that he knew.
"Then do you think it’s possible that Qin Zhao was the one eavesdropping outside?"
Yu Gui’s eyes widened suddenly, about to retort when Chen Xiao called toward the door: "Yu Gui’s father, could you please fetch your elder brother, or take me to his house?"
Yu Gui’s father replied, "I’ll go get him."
Chen Xiao nodded, then turned back to Yu Gui: "Actually, Qin Zhao might have eavesdropped. That day, he and Song Zhen drank too much and were sent to your uncle’s house."
"But is it possible that Qin Zhao woke up in the middle of the night? If he did, he might have wandered back to find Guo Ning, half-dazed."
After Chen Xiao finished speaking, Ye Xiu chimed in: "But Brother Qin Zhao is also dead."
Ye Xiu’s point was simple: when Guo Ning was found dead, she had a red veil on her head, corresponding precisely to the conversation between her and Mrs. Yu.
If Qin Zhao had overheard it and executed it, then Qin Zhao would be the murderer.
But Qin Zhao is also dead now!
Surely, he couldn’t have shared that information with someone else, right?
Chen Xiao didn’t respond to Ye Xiu, but continued to ask: "Last question, did Qin Zhao know or make new acquaintances in Xiaofeng Village or Nanqiao Town?"
"No, why do you ask?"
Chen Xiao replied: "Because when the killer murdered Qin Zhao, they wanted him to see who they were! So there has to be a story between Qin Zhao and the murderer!"
