Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 503: Chapter 503: It Was a Joke from Beginning to End!

Songshanping has always been under the jurisdiction of Songtan Town.

Starting from more than a decade ago, Songtan Town developed a pillar industry known as Songtan dog meat.

The emergence of this industry caused Songtan Town to suddenly become devoid of dogs for a long time during those years.

Whether they opened dog meat shops or not.

Whenever a dog appeared on the street, it would disappear without a trace within minutes.

There was a saying back then in Songtan Town: No dog could walk out of Songtan Town alive.

However, with the changes of the times, improved living standards, and increased awareness.

Dogs began to appear in Songtan Town.

Of course, dog thieves were still numerous.

It’s just that it was no longer as rampant as it was back then.

After all, if someone was caught stealing a dog now, they would truly be tied to a lamppost, stripped naked, and beaten to death.

This was why Zhang Xian could see a dog running out from that open window.

But the dog’s eyes and its condition made Zhang Xian faintly worried.

"Send two people to catch that dog, it’s probably eaten something it shouldn’t have."

Two people received the order and went.

At this time, Zhang Xian also pushed open the door to the main hall.

As soon as the door opened, one could see a large, round object on the ground.

"Oh!"

Zhang Xian sighed, and after putting on his gloves and shoe covers, he called the forensic team.

"Be thorough in the examination of the scene, don’t miss a single corner."

With that said, Zhang Xian squatted in front of that head.

Unfortunately, even at such a close distance, it was still impossible to clearly see what he really looked like.

But everyone knew.

It was Zuo Shu.

A Zuo Shu whose death still remains a mystery to everyone.

The forensic team and trace examiners began their work at the scene.

At this time, Zhang Xian dialed Lin Xi’s number.

"The head has been found at Chen Yuan’s house."

As soon as Lin Xi received the call, she rushed over.

But when she saw Zuo Shu’s head, she couldn’t help but be stunned.

"It’s been gnawed by wild dogs, so it’s unrecognizable. Chen Xiao and I have deduced that the nature of this case might not be what we initially thought. The perpetrator’s goal wasn’t just to target Chen Xiao, they might also be going after the Qi Family."

Lin Xi frowned.

She had also suspected this in her heart, always feeling that the perpetrator’s motives might not be that simple.

"So you’re saying, this might have been aimed at Qi Wei?"

"Yes, Xiaodao should have called you, right?" Zhang Xian looked over.

Lin Xi nodded: "He called me first, then notified you. Qi Wei has been here, she was at Songshanping, so with a detective’s logic, she could very likely have had contact with Chen Xiao, since this is Chen Xiao’s hometown and his parents also live here."

"Correct, so in this house, it’s most likely possible to find Qi Wei’s evidence, just like it was with Chen Xiao."

As Zhang Xian was speaking, the trace examiner had already picked up a long hair with tweezers.

Lin Xi and Zhang Xian saw this and didn’t speak.

The appearance of the hair actually didn’t appear to involve any particular method.

However, it’s also the simplest and most convenient way to fabricate evidence.

Like the hair found on Zuo Shu’s body, it was identified to belong to Chen Xiao.

Where did the hair come from?

It’s not particularly difficult when even Chen Xiao’s clothes could be stolen, to find a hair with follicles from his bedroom.

The same applies to Qi Wei.

And this hair, if Chen Xiao and Qi Wei couldn’t provide absolute alibis, they would become criminal suspects in a criminal investigation sense!

Zhang Xian watched as the forensic team bagged Zuo Shu’s head before standing up straight:

"I don’t know what exactly you and your husband are hiding, but the facts are clear now, it’s time to reveal your trump card, isn’t it?"

"It seems that Director Zhang hasn’t really seriously thought about the trump card Chen Xiao left behind." Lin Xi replied.

Zhang Xian was still quite perplexed, so Lin Xi could only ask:

"How did Chen Xiao find out about Zuo Shu?"

"The Yang Lake Phantom Case,"

"Who assigned Chen Xiao to investigate the case?"

"Xie Wensheng."

"What does Xie Wensheng do now?"

"Didn’t Chen Xiao hand over Dong’an to him...?" At this point, Zhang Xian’s words stopped abruptly, and he exclaimed:

"Dong’an has nearly all of Phoenix Street under surveillance, and it’s even started spreading across the entire Hongshan District! And Chen Xiao cares most about you and his family, which means Songshanping too!"

Lin Xi nodded: "Yes, before setting up Phoenix Street, Chen Xiao had someone set up surveillance here. I just don’t know what Chen Xiao was thinking at the time, why he kept it a secret from everyone."

"I think, maybe it was because of Chen Xu’s appearance. In his heart, Chen Xu has always been a time bomb, which is why he secretly installed surveillance at my home and his parents’ home."

For people in later generations.

Surveillance cameras are no longer anything uncommon.

But in 2006, even in cities, surveillance cameras weren’t something you’d find everywhere, let alone in rural areas.

Therefore, at this time, the surveillance seemed particularly special.

Understanding the situation, Zhang Xian had a wry smile.

"So that’s how it was, I really had a moment of brain fog. I thought all of Dong’an’s setups were within the city, I didn’t expect Chen Xiao to have laid such a trap, his vigilance is indeed remarkable."

Lin Xi said bitterly: "Yes, even I hadn’t thought of this."

"In that case, we can’t wait any longer, Chen Xiao should come out and let those people know they were a joke from beginning to end!"

Zhang Xian said as he stepped out of Chen Yuan’s house.

He had little interest in this scene.

The only reason he came was to see if the head was indeed there.

Now that the head was found, it was time to leave.

As soon as he returned to the detective team, Zhang Xian again found Chen Xiao and informed him about the discoveries at Chen Yuan’s house.

After listening, Chen Xiao began to ponder.

The reason he stayed in the detective team without leaving was just one.

To figure out what the opponent’s real objective was.

Now, with evidence possibly pointing towards Qi Wei, there was indeed a chance that his bold hypothesis had hit the mark on the opponent’s aims.

"So, the perpetrator’s motive might really be targeting me and the Qi Family. And if so, what’s their reason for targeting me and the Qi Family?"

Chen Xiao asked Zhang Xian.

The latter thought for a moment and said: "If it’s targeting the Qi Family, it’s definitely going for the industry. But if we set aside everything being a plan by the Qi Family, targeting you isn’t about the Yang Lake land anymore."

"Given that, the reason for targeting you really does seem quite peculiar."

Chen Xiao stood up and said: "Looks like we really can’t wait any longer, I have a feeling that waiting further is meaningless, it’s time to find out who they really are!"
