Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 502: Chapter 502: The Head!

Lanshan County Criminal Investigation Team.

Zhang Xian pushed open the door to the interrogation room where Chen Xiao was again.

He held a file in his hand and said seriously:

"Chen Xiao, we just found out that Qi Wei also came to Dongzhou during the time Zuo Shu went to Qingxi!"

"Where did she go in Dongzhou?"

"That’s still unclear. We only found from travel records that she was in Dongzhou during that period. Where she visited or where she stayed, only she can tell us."

Chen Xiao frowned, "She might not tell the truth."

"Yes, I’m aware of that."

As Zhang Xian was speaking, a call came in.

Seeing the caller ID, Zhang Xian exclaimed, "It’s the Xiaoji Knife Man calling!"

Chen Xiao squinted, "Quick, answer it. Although I don’t think progress would be this fast, who knows, there might be a surprise!"

Even though he said that, Chen Xiao was also worried about something else.

He was worried that the Xiaoji Knife Man might have been exposed and could be in danger!

"Hey, Xiaodao, what’s up?"

"I just had a heartfelt chat with Sister Weiwei. She told me she came to Dongzhou when Zuo Shu went to Qingxi!"

Just that one sentence.

And that one address of Sister Weiwei.

Chen Xiao suddenly had the urge to call out Brother Dao!

Zhang Xian was also dumbfounded but knew what was more important at the moment, so he asked seriously:

"Did she say where she went?"

"Songshanping! A place deeply connected with Brother Chen of mine!"

After the Xiaoji Knife Man finished speaking, Chen Xiao’s heart moved, and he asked:

"Is it Chen Xianzu’s house?"

"Yes, his house! Zuo Shu was very curious about your matters, and because of the land near Yang Lake, Sister Weiwei also became very interested in you. She also found out about the connection between Chen Xianzu and Xu Zaisen. So, after coming to Songshanping, she went to Chen Xianzu’s house."

"Of course, she also visited the Lobster Base. The person in charge there took us around for a long time, so I was wondering if there might be something at Chen Yuan’s house too?"

The Xiaoji Knife Man was naturally unaware that Chen Xiao and Zhang Xian had previously speculated about Zuo Shu’s head.

He only knew that before going to Shencheng City, Lin Xi was always leading them to make various discoveries.

At this moment, after listening, Chen Xiao only took a few seconds to think, then said:

"Chen Xianzu’s house has been empty for a long time. But since Qi Wei lingered there, it should be checked out."

Zhang Xian nodded, "Okay, I’ll take some people there immediately."

Saying this, Zhang Xian was about to hang up the phone, but Chen Xiao, looking at the phone in Zhang Xian’s hand, said:

"Let me talk to the Xiaoji Knife Man a bit longer."

After a brief hesitation, Zhang Xian handed the phone to Chen Xiao.

However, the person Chen Xiao truly wanted to contact was not the Xiaoji Knife Man, but Qi Wei.

After informing the Xiaoji Knife Man, Qi Wei proactively said:

"President Chen, is there something you want to tell me?"

"I’m sorry, Ms. Qi, that we are meeting this way. But from what Xiaodao said, it seems you both have been quite candid with each other. So, can I assume you were also surprised by Zuo Shu’s death?"

"Yes, whether you believe it or not, I can only say that I was just as unprepared for his death."

"Alright, I want to know, apart from you, who were the people Zuo Shu trusted in the Li Hai Group? And are any of his family members working within the group?"

"Besides our couple, there are a few from my Qi Family. As for the others, they are all hired professionals. His parents, at their age, held no positions in the group."

Qi Wei answered truthfully.

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Xiao continued to ask:

"Does Zuo Shu’s family only have him?"

"Yes, he’s an only child, the sole member of the Zuo Family."

"Alright, I understand. Thank you for your help, Ms. Qi." Chen Xiao expressed his gratitude, to which Qi Wei replied:

"You’re welcome. Ever since knowing about his incident, I’ve had a vague feeling that it might not just be targeting you."

"So Ms. Qi never suspected me at all?"

"Indeed, but I still tested your wife once. Frankly, I can’t imagine why you’d want to kill Zuo Shu. As for the land at Yang Lake, would the authorities really not grant it to Dragon Cauldron because of something you did?"

"The authorities won’t be that capricious! Moreover, the matter didn’t occur in Shencheng, so Dragon Cauldron still holds the development rights to that land."

Qi Wei shared her insight, while Chen Xiao asked another question:

"What about the public opinion in Shencheng?"

"I admit, that was orchestrated by our Qi Family. But it’s not because of the land at Yang Lake, rather, it’s about future plots! Dragon Cauldron is at its peak, and seeing such a good opportunity to hit you, our Qi Family naturally wouldn’t let it slip."

Chen Xiao couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, "What you said makes sense."

"Regardless of Zuo Shu’s death being related to you or not, the rivalry between Dragon Cauldron and the Qi Family has long existed, so it’s separate from this matter, right?"

"Indeed, but Ms. Qi, I have one more question for you: have you heard of the Sacred Heart Church?"

"What’s that? I’ve never heard of it."

"It’s an organization, symbolized by a totem—a point from which countless lines extend."

Qi Wei immediately replied, "I’ve neither seen nor heard of it. What does this organization have to do with Zuo Shu’s death?"

"I can’t tell you for now. But eventually, after such a frank conversation today, Dragon Cauldron and the Qi Family might not always have to be adversaries, right?"

Chen Xiao said with a smile, Qi Wei sighed, "In business, it’s just business. Honestly, we don’t want to be your rivals either. But last time you rejected Zuo Shu so bluntly that everyone thought you weren’t an easy-to-deal-with person."

"In that case, let’s discuss this in detail after I’m out."

"Alright."

Qi Wei agreed readily.

After hanging up the call, Chen Xiao returned the phone to Zhang Xian:

"Go check Chen Yuan’s house properly. If Zuo Shu’s head is found, then this is targeting both me and the Qi Family. As to why he would do this, we’ll have to delve deeper later."

Zhang Xian nodded, took back the phone, and left the interrogation room directly.

He then gathered his team, and several police cars rushed towards Songshanping once more.

Dozens of minutes later.

Songshanping, Chen Yuan’s house.

Zhang Xian had the already locked gate of Chen Yuan’s home opened.

However, after opening the gate, the main door was still shut tightly.

Step by step, Zhang Xian walked towards the main hall’s door, but his gaze fell on a window next to it that was open.

Moreover, his ears seemed to catch some sort of sound coming from inside.

The sounds prompted Zhang Xian to break open the main hall door without hesitation, whereupon a shadow swiftly leaped out from the open window!
