Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 519: Chapter 519: He Was So Proud!

Zhang Xian originally didn’t know what Chen Xiao was up to.

He wasn’t very familiar with Sister Yan either.

He had only heard her name from Chen Xiao’s stories.

But whether Sister Yan’s place was clean or not, as a policeman he could tell at a glance.

Moreover, when all of Sister Yan’s employees stood neatly in front of him, Zhang Xian couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

He looked deeply at Chen Xiao and lowered his voice, saying:

"Talk to your friend properly, don’t make any mistakes."

"Sister Yan knows what she’s doing."

Seeing Chen Xiao say this, Zhang Xian naturally didn’t insist on this matter.

But in the next second, Chen Xiao took some cash out of his pocket and placed it on the table.

Zhang Xian looked at him in astonishment once more, and even thought:

"He can’t be here for fun, can he? Chen Xiao wouldn’t do something like this!"

Just as Zhang Xian was feeling curious, Chen Xiao ignored him and instead smiled warmly at the slightly uneasy girls.

"Don’t be nervous, everyone. I’m a friend of Sister Yan. I’m not here to wash my feet or take a bath; I just want to chat with you all."

After hearing this, the girls looked at each other even more uncertainly.

Chen Xiao didn’t let them guess blindly.

After glancing at them, he smiled and asked, "I want to know if any of you have been to Shencheng City? If you have, please step forward."

The girls looked at each other, and nearly half of the dozen or so stepped forward.

"Have any of you been to Xiangdu?"

Nearly half of the girls who stepped forward nodded again.

Zhang Xian was listening carefully to Chen Xiao’s questions.

But even though Chen Xiao had asked two questions in a row, his confusion was still not alleviated.

Although Zuo Shu was from Shencheng City.

But now it’s pretty clear.

The place doesn’t really matter at all!

So why did Chen Xiao come to this massage parlor to find girls who had been to Shencheng City and Xiangdu?

Zhang Xian didn’t interrupt and continued listening to Chen Xiao’s conversation with the girls.

"Have any of you interacted with men from Shencheng City?"

Chen Xiao threw out another question.

The girls were stunned again.

What kind of men haven’t they interacted with?

Not to mention men from Shencheng City.

They’ve met men from all over, even big black guys from abroad.

But Sister Yan had already instructed them, so they didn’t hesitate much and said directly:

"Many local men in Shencheng City are quite practical and ambitious!"

"Yes, people over there love doing business, and many have made their businesses really, really big."

"Have you interacted with the police from Shencheng City?"

Chen Xiao asked once more.

This time, the girls all became awkward, stammering and not knowing how to respond.

Sister Yan came over at this point and, seeing her employees being bashful, sternly said:

"There’s nothing to hide in front of my brother, and in our line of work, who hasn’t dealt with the police?"

With Sister Yan saying so, the girls nodded:

"Walking by the river often, you can’t avoid getting wet. We’ve all been caught by the cops here and there."

Using the term "cops" in front of Zhang Xian did seem a bit like not treating Director Zhang as a policeman.

But nowadays, due to the influence of various films and TV shows, many people like to call the police this way in everyday life.

Years later, when people meet again, they probably won’t use that term.

"Among you, or people you know, has anyone ever been caught by the Front Station Police Station?"

Front Station Police Station?

Upon hearing this term, Zhang Xian was taken aback.

Because he seemed to have seen the name of this police station somewhere, but he couldn’t recall where he glanced at it.

It wasn’t until the girls reminisced for a moment that Zhang Xian suddenly understood.

Front Station Police Station, isn’t that where Zuo Shu first worked?!

So Chen Xiao’s purpose was this!

But if he wants to understand Zuo Shu’s past, wouldn’t it be better to ask Qi Wei?

Or is it that different people bring different insights?

Zhang Xian thinks Chen Xiao probably thinks so!

In fact, Chen Xiao is doing this seemingly pointless thing with exactly this purpose in mind!

At this moment, one of the girls who had claimed to have stayed in both Shencheng City and Xiangdu seemed to have thought of something.

"Boss, can I make a phone call?"

Chen Xiao quickly nodded: "Of course, do you remember someone?"

"Yes, I had a good friend in Shencheng City, she was an elder sister, who was detained by the Front Station Police Station a long time ago. Every time I listen to her stories, it’s like reading a novel, they’re so exciting!"

Chen Xiao liked people with stories, so he didn’t stop her, but even urged her to quickly make the call.

After the girl left, Zhang Xian finally spoke, lowering his voice and asking:

"You want to understand Zuo Shu more deeply?"

"Yes."

"What’s the use after understanding? Do you think the breakthrough is still on the already dead Zuo Shu?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Xian furrowed his brows tightly:

"What kind of person is Zuo Shu? He was once a policeman but later thought there was no future in it, so he quit the police force to do business, eventually leveraging his wife’s family’s influence to rise all the way up, becoming the boss of the Li Hai Group."

"In business terms, Zuo Shu is undoubtedly very successful. But if you want to know about his police career, why not ask Qi Wei or another mentor of Zuo Shu’s?"

"Wouldn’t it be better to find them?"

As Zhang Xian analyzed and asked questions.

But Chen Xiao didn’t answer Zhang Xian’s question, instead, he asked back:

"Have you ever guessed why Zuo Shu wanted to go to places I’ve been to?"

"Hmm? Isn’t it just to frame you conveniently?"

"But was it really necessary to travel far to Qingxi?"

"But besides the Swallow Lane Fishbone Case, your fame truly came from the Xiaofeng Village case."

"I know, but Zuo Shu really didn’t need to go there. He went there and only there left the photo of our first meeting and the message of the ’Ten Demon Sons’. It was actually sending me a signal!"

"Sending what signal?"

"He must have known that ’Ten Demon Sons’ was given to me by Lou Xiaodong, who is Lou Yang’s father, closely tied to Chen Yan. So, he wanted me to connect this clue to think of Chen Yan!"

Zhang Xian immediately narrowed his eyes tightly: "You mean to say that, regarding who Chen Yan is, Zuo Shu might have left clues?"

"Yes."

Chen Xiao answered this word again.

But Zhang Xian said a bit irritably: "Why didn’t he just say it outright?"

"He must be very proud internally, in fact, whether in the police world or the business world, he was very successful. Moreover, during my first encounter with him this year, I could sense that Zuo Shu was an extremely confident person."

"Such a person wouldn’t blatantly tell me. So, he left clues for me to discover."

"The prerequisite for discovering his clues is that I have to understand him from every possible angle!"
