Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 195 195: If Kou Can Go There, So Can I!

The sudden change caught Chen Xiao completely off guard.

One phone call, two sentences, two pieces of information.

The bag has been found.

Lin Yao is involved in a murder case.

Linking these two points, Chen Xiao immediately knew that the murder case might be related to the bag.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao quickly asked, "Did the biker gang member who stole the bag die, or was it something else?"

"I'm not really sure, they just said I'm involved in a murder case. Brother-in-law, what should I do when the police come? I'm really scared right now."

Lin Yao once accompanied Chen Xiao to witness a murder scene, specifically where Su Haidong was killed at Swallow Lane.

But seeing it firsthand and becoming a person involved in the case are completely different.

"When the police come, don't resist, just cooperate with what they say. Also, you should only say what you know, don't embellish the details."

"Moreover, since the police are coming for you, it means you definitely have some connection to the case. After being brought in, they might use some questioning techniques. Don't panic, just answer what they ask, do you understand?"

"I understand, brother-in-law. Uncle Song and his wife said they will also wait at the criminal police team later."

"Alright, I'm buying a ticket now. Remember, don't oppose them, got it!"

Chen Xiao reiterated the instruction, then immediately turned to find Lin Xi.

After explaining the situation, Lin Xi's face changed dramatically.

But soon, Lin Xi thought of a possibility: "It might be that the biker thief had a problem, and then they found Xiaoyao's bag, thus connecting her to the case."

"I think the same. Alright, let's not talk more, I'm going to buy tickets now."

Lin Xi thought for a moment: "Why don't you take Xiaoji and Xiaoji Knife Man with you since you are unfamiliar with the place."

"Song Zhen's parents are there, they should provide some convenience. Alright, I'll listen to you, I'll call everyone except Dali."

Lin Xi nodded, adjusted his collar, and said: "Be safe, if Xiaoyao doesn't listen to you, you should scold her. You are both her brother-in-law and her elder brother."

Chen Xiao grinned.

What Lin Xi said is indeed true.

He is the brother-in-law and also the elder brother.

Even though in his past life, he really couldn't stand Lin Yao.

But living again, Chen Xiao could also put himself in her shoes.

If his sister or brother were hurt like that, could he simply separate and let bygones be bygones?

Chen Xiao felt he wasn't that magnanimous.

The main point is, in his past life, his father-in-law and mother-in-law would occasionally support Chen Xiao and Lin Xi, and Lin Yao never fought over it.

The only thing she ever targeted Chen Xiao about was his aimless lifestyle.

Now, in both families, he's the only young man left.

With Lin Xi unable to leave his job, Chen Xiao didn't hesitate; he had to go.

Leaving the criminal police team, Chen Xiao called Xiaoji.

"Where are you and Xiaoji Knife Man? Is Liu Dayou with you?"

"Yes, Brother Chen, all four of us are together."

"Let Dali take care of his own matters, for now, you guys go get plane tickets and go to Shencheng City with me."

Xiaoji became very excited: "Okay, bro."

"Ask Liu Dayou if he wants to come along?"

Xiaoji immediately asked, and Liu Dayou simply asked: "Will there be food, accommodation, and travel covered?"

"Isn't that obvious? Do you have the money to buy plane tickets?"

"Then what else is there to say? When the bandit goes... I'll go too!"

"Get lost, who are you calling a bandit!"

Liu Dayou chuckled, and Xiaoji didn't bother with him any further, quickly opting to drive to buy the tickets.

The group met up at the airport. While waiting, Chen Xiao received a call from Song Zhen's father, Song Ru.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry I can't meet Miss Lin just yet, but I've already found out what's going on. The reason is Miss Lin's bag, which was stolen last night, was tossed not far from a corpse. The police found the bag and discovered Miss Lin's credentials, thus contacting her through her temporary residence permit information."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao had a general understanding of the situation.

"Alright, thank you Mr. Song, but did the police reveal any information about the deceased's identity to you?"

"The police haven't said a word about the case, but I'm already inquiring through my connections, and there should be news soon."

"Alright, thank you, Mr. Song. I am at the airport now, I should arrive in about three hours."

"No need for formality between us, this is what I should be doing. You get on the flight, I'll pick you up when you arrive."

Chen Xiao didn't refuse Song Ru.

Having a local person to help, Chen Xiao could avoid much trouble.

Without contacting anyone else, Chen Xiao got on the plane calmly waiting for landing.

Upon arriving in Shencheng City, Song Ru was already waiting.

This was their second meeting.

The first time was in Xiaofeng Village, when Qin Zhao's parents were seeking trouble for Chen Xiao, among the victim's family members, Song Ru was the most enraged, beating Qin Zhao's father fiercely onto the ground.

Seeing Song Ru again, with matters concerning Lin Yao, he didn't bother with pleasantries and got straight to the point after getting into the car:

"I've already asked my brother-in-law to explore through connections, he works at the precinct though not as a detective, but he can confirm that the deceased is a female, very young, just around twenty years old. Furthermore, the case is highly suspected to be a serial murder!"

Chen Xiao's heart sank.

The police suspecting a serial murder means there have already been multiple victims, similar cases have occurred multiple times!

This is indeed a major case!

Considering the situation, Chen Xiao replied: "Mr. Song, is your brother-in-law able to connect us with the criminal police team leader?"

Song Ru smiled: "I informed him before you arrived, he said he would do his best to facilitate the meeting. I think Captain Xie at the precinct won't refuse, considering you are an outstanding detective."

Chen Xiao wasn't very optimistic.

Though he had some fame, it only reached regions like Dongzhou and Qingxi.

Regarding a place like Shencheng City, if people favored him, there might be some conversation, but if not, Chen Xiao would be powerless.

"Let's go ahead..." Chen Xiao hadn't finished his sentence when Song Ru's phone rang, immediately noting: "It's my brother-in-law calling."

Speaking in the local dialect, Song Ru began questioning.

Chen Xiao couldn't quite understand, but judging by Song Ru's expressions, Chen Xiao thought things were not looking good.

When Song Ru put his phone down, he said with a very grim expression: "Mr. Chen, sorry, my brother-in-law said Captain Xie refused his request, and mentioned if no release happens within twelve hours, the family could inquire about the situation."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly.

This outcome wasn't too surprising for Chen Xiao.

When Chen Xiao first arrived in Qingxi, if it hadn't been for Guo Zhengchang and his old friends having some influence there, Hu Yue likely wouldn't have been so accommodating.

Yet even so, Hu Yue was wary of him at first.

It's human nature, a longstanding rule within the police force.

But the attitude from that Captain Xie signaled something to Chen Xiao.

That is, the case involving Lin Yao isn't minor!

Although all murder cases are serious, if the investigation had gone smoothly, the police wouldn't be acting this way.

Thus, the police likely encountered obstacles while handling the case.

To see Lin Yao, realistically they would likely have to wait for twelve hours!

Unless the police quickly apprehend the two biker thieves who snatched Lin Yao's bag.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao spoke to Song Ru: "Mr. Song, there's no need to seek connections, I suspect it's useless, the case is significant!"

Song Ru paused: "But what about Miss Lin?"

"She's my wife's sister, from a familial standpoint I naturally believe she has no connection to the case. But the police won't think like that, so let's wait for twelve hours, or perhaps we can find the biker thieves ahead of time!"
