Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 500: Chapter 500: An Astonishing Hypothesis—Little Bro, Come Keep Me Company!

Qi Wei walked out of the office.

Zhang Xian’s expression changed once again to another look.

He kept watching the door until Qi Wei left, then stood up and opened the door to the inquiry room where Chen Xiao was.

When Chen Xiao saw Zhang Xian coming, he knew how far the case had progressed.

"Have you met with Qi Wei?"

Chen Xiao asked, and Zhang Xian nodded and sat down:

"Just finished chatting. Can you guess her state of mind?"

After a brief thought, Chen Xiao said:

"She is Zuo Shu’s wife, yet she only came here now after Zuo Shu died, clearly indicating that their marital relationship wasn’t very good."

"But she was captivated by a boy who resembled Zuo Shu in the past, ignoring her own identity, even losing some sense of reason. Clearly, her feelings for Zuo Shu weren’t as devoid of emotion as one might have thought."

"I suspect that over the years, Zuo Shu might have forgotten why he was willing to go all out to marry Qi Wei in the first place. Of course, Qi Wei also forgot."

"She should feel more resentment toward Zuo Shu, but sometimes hate is a form of love, which is why Dao could approach her smoothly."

Zhang Xian nodded approvingly: "You’re in here, but you have a clear grasp of the outside world!"

"After considering the circumstances, it’s not hard to deduce this," Chen Xiao said, looking seriously at Zhang Xian.

Noticing the complex look in those shrewd eyes, Chen Xiao tentatively asked:

"You didn’t break her heart, did you?"

Zhang Xian was a bit embarrassed but spoke firmly:

"I am the head of the special task force on this case, do you think I’d do that?"

Chen Xiao laughed: "When I first got involved in criminal investigation, everyone praised the Police King of Dongzhou to the skies. They said the Police King of Dongzhou was the most innovative in solving cases."

"And now I’ve seen it for myself again!"

Zhang Xian smiled at Chen Xiao’s words: "I haven’t harmed the interests of the victim’s family. With that assurance, I can facilitate certain events to solve the case."

"I don’t see anything wrong with that."

Zhang Xian expressed his thoughts, and Chen Xiao also nodded seriously:

"Honestly, I have to thank you. Your approach indeed accelerates the progress of the case."

"Alright, let’s not talk about topics we shouldn’t discuss. Look closely at the words on the wall: ’Honesty brings leniency, resistance brings severity!’ Where exactly is Zuo Shu’s head?"

Zhang Xian suspected that Chen Xiao might have an idea about the location of Zuo Shu’s head, so he intentionally took on an interrogatory tone.

Regrettably, even Chen Xiao had no idea about the missing head of Zuo Shu.

"No use forcing me to confess. I really have no leads on the whereabouts of Zuo Shu’s missing head," Chen Xiao stated plainly.

Judging by his expression, Zhang Xian saw that he wasn’t joking, so he could only sigh inwardly.

But just when Zhang Xian was about to stand up and leave, Chen Xiao suddenly thought of something, or more specifically, recalled a case he had solved before.

That case had been mentioned multiple times and was committed by Chen Xianzu.

In his youth, Chen Xianzu and his brother Chen Ding murdered Cheng Qing and then killed the witness Wan De to cover up their crime.

To escape the attention of Han Zai, the top detective in Dongzhou at the time, Chen Xianzu faked his death and fled to Xiangdu.

Years later, due to Chen Xiao’s investigation, their crimes were exposed and brought to light.

In that situation, Chen Xianzu made a decision to help Chen Xu, whom he nurtured, to annex Zong Yuanmao’s industry!

Of course, Chen Xiao ultimately uncovered these schemes, leaving Chen Xianzu empty-handed.

At that moment, remembering this, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but ask Zhang Xian:

"Did Shencheng City give any feedback on the Qi Family’s situation?"

"What kind of feedback?"

"Let me put it simply, what is Qi Wei’s position in the Qi Family?"

After a brief thought, Zhang Xian replied, "She is certainly in a high position within the Qi Family, but her focus is still on Zuo Shu’s Li Hai Group! However, whether it’s Li Hai or the Qi Family, information from the Guo Family shows both sides have planted people in each other’s businesses."

"So, this means that Li Hai and the Qi Family are deeply entangled."

Chen Xiao frowned: "Could it be to the extent where they share both glory and downfall?"

"It seems likely. No matter if it’s Li Hai or the Qi Family encountering trouble, it would be a heavy blow to both enterprises."

Chen Xiao nodded heavily: "Alright, let me make an assumption. If the investigation implicates both Qi Wei and me, who would ultimately benefit?"

Zhang Xian’s eyes widened, exclaiming, "Qi Wei’s father and her elder brother!"

"Think again, are you missing anyone?"

Zhang Xian’s mind sank: "Are you referring to Zuo Shu’s parents, who have already come to Lanshan County?"

"Apart from his parents, is there anyone else in Zuo Shu’s family?"

"No! Zuo Shu’s mother is over sixty. His father is nearing seventy. Assuming that your hypothesis is correct, and you and Qi Wei are found guilty, Qi Wei would lose control over Li Hai Group, and it would obviously fall to Zuo Shu’s parents."

"But how could his parents compete with the Qi Family?"

Zhang Xian questioned Chen Xiao.

However, Chen Xiao fell silent at that moment.

His silence rendered the inquiry room unbelievably quiet.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Xian realized his thoughts were in chaos due to Chen Xiao’s hypothesis.

Yet, proving Chen Xiao’s theory was actually quite simple.

Check if Zuo Shu’s head is with Qi Wei!

If it is, then the case would truly be intriguing!

With this thought, Zhang Xian left the inquiry room and immediately had Qi Wei’s actions secretly monitored in Lanshan County.

After checking into the hotel, she stood by the window, drinking with a distant gaze.

It was unclear whether it was the influence of alcohol or her emotions.

She couldn’t control the sourness in her heart nor the tears that threatened to fall now and then.

Eventually, unable to bear it any longer, she picked up her phone and dialed a number:

"Little brother, where are you?"

"Why do you care where I am? Just say what you need!"

"Could you come and keep me company?"

"No."

"Are you coming or not?" Qi Wei’s voice suddenly heightened, and the person on the other end didn’t hesitate:

"Are you still at the police station? Those damn cops bullying you? Damn, just wait there, I’ll be right over!"

"No... I’m at Jingkai Hotel."

"Driver, is Jingkai Hotel far? Ten minutes? I’ll give you five hundred, can you get there in five minutes? If not, I’ll drive myself!"

The voice on the other end stunned Qi Wei.

But the call had already ended.

A few minutes later, she opened the door and saw the silly boy who handed five hundred to the taxi driver for a ride just a few minutes away!
