Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 511: Chapter 511: He Really Acts Like a Resentful Woman!

"A woman named Xiao He transferred more than three million yuan over time."

"Although this amount wasn’t a huge sum for our family back then, it was not insignificant either."

"I arranged for someone to investigate Xiao He, mistakenly believing she had some unspeakable relationship with Zuo Shu. But eventually, I discovered that the woman was already in her forties at that time, and she had been living abroad for a long time without returning."

"Moreover, your mother and I were entirely focused on you. Thinking that you suddenly recovered afterward, we considered that money well spent for peace of mind."

Father Qi’s words starkly highlighted the gap between the rich and the poor.

Throwing away three million in the 1990s just like that.

Not to mention back then, even today, or in the future.

Unless you’re rich, who wouldn’t consider three million an astronomical figure?

However, when Chen Xiao heard Father Qi mention a completely unfamiliar name, he consulted with Qi Wei and answered the phone:

"Hello, Mr. Qi, may I ask if the information you checked about Xiao He was thorough?"

"We did our best; all we knew was her ancestral home was in Haojiang, and she had already gone abroad in the 1980s."

"Anything else? Like her family?"

"No, I had people investigate locally, and everyone who knew her told me the whole family had moved abroad. Moreover, according to locals, that woman named Xiao He had quite an impressive family background."

"Also, Weiwei had some incidents in Haojiang, did she ever mention them to you?" Father Qi said, then Qi Wei continued:

"When I was young, I enjoyed gambling and lost a million in one night around Haojiang."

"Yes, we learned from the area that Miss Xiao used to work in casinos, so we also wondered if it related to Weiwei’s gambling debts."

"Moreover, we really didn’t dare to ask too much given her state back then. Seeing her recover, we just let it go."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Qi, you probably don’t have her information anymore, do you?"

"No, after Weiwei recovered for a while, I had all of that woman’s information destroyed."

Listening to her father’s words, Qi Wei also looked over.

After thanking via phone, Chen Xiao returned the phone to Qi Wei.

Soon after, as the call ended, Qi Wei asked:

"Mr. Chen, did you notice any issues?"

"The money you transferred is the problem, but it’s hard to find answers now."

After saying this, Chen Xiao paused and continued, "President Qi, I need you to stay here for a while. Zhang Xian and I will investigate further."

Qi Wei agreed, and Chen Xiao and Zhang Xian got up to leave.

At the door, Chen Xiao remembered something the Xiaoji Knife Man said, and he smiled:

"President Qi, Xiaodao asked me to tell you that he’ll be waiting for you outside."

Qi Wei was momentarily stunned, then a smile appeared on her lips, and she responded with a soft hmm without saying more.

Shortly after, Chen Xiao and Zhang Xian returned to the office.

As they sat down, neither spoke, each organizing the information they had just gathered.

But after a brief moment of thought, Zhang Xian immediately had someone investigate Xiao He.

Even though there’s uncertainty in finding her, not investigating would mean having no information at all.

Chen Xiao didn’t interfere with Zhang Xian’s actions; his mind was full of the motives behind this case.

Every case involves someone who benefits.

Even in revenge killings, it’s the same!

The avenger achieves their main benefit after revenge.

However, Zuo Shu’s death was clearly not a revenge killing.

The possibility of a crime of passion is nearly nonexistent.

The most credible benefit from Zuo Shu’s perspective would be the Li Hai Group and the Qi Family at large.

Yet, this situation also implicates Chen Xiao.

From the whole case, their main target seems to be Chen Xiao himself.

Thinking over and over, Chen Xiao realized that the only unresolved conflict he had was with Chen Yan.

With this in mind, Chen Xiao wrote down the words "Chen Yan," "Sacred Heart Church," "Ten Demon Sons" on paper.

While writing, when a figure entered the office, a sudden flash of insight struck Chen Xiao.

He looked up to the empty chair where Zhang Xian had been sitting and thought:

"Damn, could Chen Yan be from the Sacred Heart Church?"

Just as this thought crossed his mind, Lin Xi’s voice came from behind:

"What did you realize? You seem excited!"

Saying this, Lin Xi walked closer.

Chen Xiao didn’t hide anything and said, "Honey, do you think Chen Yan might be part of the Sacred Heart Church? Like being one of the twelve high-ranking members, or even higher!"

Hearing this, Lin Xi was stunned and stayed silent, pondering how likely it was!

After a while, Lin Xi, with a wary expression, said:

"Seems like we must go back to the city."

"Right, let’s find that fake Chen Yan directly!"

Lin Xi nodded, picked up the car keys, and headed out.

But after remembering someone, Chen Xiao said, "Let’s pick up Dayou first and take him with us to see Chen Yan."

"Okay."

Lin Xi agreed, and Chen Xiao briefed Zhang Xian, then the couple picked up Liu Dayou and headed to Dongzhou City.

Currently, Chen Yan is still detained in Dongzhou’s detention center and won’t be released until his case is clarified!

Two hours later, Chen Xiao, along with Lin Xi and Liu Dayou, arrived at the Dongzhou City detention center.

After chatting with the officer in charge of Chen Yan’s area, Chen Yan was brought in front of Chen Xiao and the others.

Facing Chen Xiao and Lin Xi, Chen Yan’s face remained calm.

But at the sight of Liu Dayou, Chen Yan’s face showed discomfort.

It must be that Liu Dayou’s presence reminded Chen Yan of the past bone-touching encounters.

"Hmph," Chen Yan snorted coldly, impatiently asking:

"Mr. Chen missed me again? Too bad, life here is quite comfortable; if it weren’t for you, I almost forgot you existed."

"I wish you would forget me sooner, but our entanglement runs deep; it’s too hard to forget."

Chen Xiao said this while observing Chen Yan.

But before they could say more, Liu Dayou, also observing Chen Yan, suddenly spoke:

"Brother Chen, it seems like something’s off with this dog’s state of mind. Look at his eyes, trying to appear indifferent, but if you look closely..."

"His eyes resemble those of a neglected, long-scorned woman!"
