Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 196 196: Colluding Together!

Song Ru saw that Chen Xiao had said this, so naturally he gave up on continuing to seek connections.

Driving silently, it wasn't long before the group first arrived at the Song Family.

After entering the Song Family's residence, Chen Xiao immediately noticed Song Zhen's memorial photo placed in the living room.

Song Ru noticed this and couldn't control a trace of sadness from appearing on his face.

Chen Xiao walked to the memorial photo, saw incense placed beside it, and also offered a stick of incense.

Song Ru was very grateful, with reddened eyes he said, "Mr. Chen, thank you for your consideration."

Chen Xiao shook his head: "The deceased is gone, Mr. Song must still live well."

Song Ru didn't say much, soon Song Zhen's mother also came out, and upon seeing Chen Xiao paying respects to Song Zhen, her tears uncontrollably flowed.

"Stop wiping your tears, is the meal ready? Mr. Chen and his friends have had a tiring journey, let's eat first."

Song Zhen's mother wiped her eyes, nodded and said, "Everything's ready, but I don't know if Mr. Chen is accustomed to our food here. I couldn't quickly learn the dishes from Dongzhou, so…"

"As the guest is adaptable, but I'm disturbing you all!"

Chen Xiao courteously replied, and Song Ru hastily waved his hand.

Afterward, the group headed to the dining room.

Liu Dayou was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, his eyes wandering everywhere.

Xiaoji tugged at him, saying, "Daoist priest, you came with Brother Chen as a guest, don't act like a thief, it's embarrassing, you know?"

"Can you blame me? I've lived thirty years and truly haven't seen such a luxurious house."

Xiaoji was speechless: "Then you've never been to Elder Guo's villa on the top of the mountain, once you visit you'll know what real wealth is."

Liu Dayou's eyes widened: "Exactly what kind of person is Brother Chen? I see the car he drives isn't a luxury car, and his attire doesn't resemble a rich man."

"What do you know, this is called being low-key!"

Liu Dayou nodded earnestly and said softly, "It seems in this life I've truly met a benefactor!"

Everyone entered the dining room for a meal.

After the meal, Chen Xiao had to officially work.

He came all the way from Dongzhou to Shencheng City for Lin Yao.

Currently, Lin Yao is being questioned at the criminal police team, and he couldn't just do nothing.

Especially since several hours have passed, there's not a single piece of news from Lin Yao's side, it's clear the car thieves haven't been caught.

If the car thief is never found, the matter will be quite troublesome.

After obtaining a city map from Song Ru, Chen Xiao summoned Xiaoji Knife Man and Liu Dayou.

"Xiaoji Knife Man, later you two take Dayou to the wholesale market where Lin Yao was robbed and look around."

Chen Xiao arranged the plan, Xiaoji immediately understood Chen Xiao's intention and nodded:

"Alright, Brother Chen, we may not be able to pinpoint which car thief, but we've all mixed on the streets before and know that car thieves have strong territorial awareness. However, what I'm worried about is the two car thieves who robbed Sister Lin Yao were just passing by."

"Hmm, from the city map, the likelihood of them passing by is high. After all, from the wholesale market to the river ditch where the police found the body, they're about twenty or thirty kilometers apart. If they were members of the biker gang, they wouldn't throw the bag so far away."

Xiaoji became solemn: "That could be challenging."

"Not impossible, Lin Yao mentioned she was just getting out of the car when two biker gangs immediately came over…."

As he spoke, Chen Xiao suddenly paused: "Hey, something isn't right here."

Knife Man and Liu Dayou hadn't understood yet, Xiaoji's eyes brightened: "Yes, yes, this seems wrong, and it was broad daylight in a bustling area!"

Knife Man also reacted: "That's true, although car thieves do commit crimes during the day, in broad daylight in a bustling area, the audacity is quite big. Also, Sister Lin Yao said she was carrying fifty thousand yuan to purchase goods, she certainly wouldn't carry fifty thousand yuan with her every day, she must have just withdrawn it and then took a taxi to the wholesale market!"

"So what car did Sister Lin Yao take then?"

Chen Xiao replied: "Taxi!"

"Then go find that taxi driver, maybe they're conspiring together!"

Chen Xiao nodded, Xiaoji also quickly said: "Then directly find the criminal police team, surely they'll let us see Sister Lin Yao now!"

"Alright, but still split into two groups. Xiaoji Knife Man Dayou, you three go check around the wholesale market area, there's no need for so many people at the criminal police team."

"Alright, Brother Chen." The three of them left the Song Family first.

Seeing this, Song Ru also said: "Mr. Chen, I'll take you to the criminal police team!"

"Okay."

Chen Xiao did not refuse, sitting in Song Ru's car heading to the criminal police team.

Once there, Song Ru used the local dialect to negotiate with a criminal police officer and then immediately headed to an office.

In less than two minutes, a person walked out from the office.

The person approached Chen Xiao and spoke: "I'm Xie Wensheng, you said there's a clue to provide?"

"Hello, Captain Xie, to be precise, I don't know much about the case you're investigating so I don't have any clues to provide. But my sister-in-law Lin Yao is currently detained at the criminal police team because of the case you're investigating. I suppose she must have told you that her bag was snatched by car thieves yesterday already, so I'm here to provide clues about the car thieves."

Xie Wensheng originally had a somewhat bad look on his face, but upon hearing Chen Xiao had clues about the car thief, his expression changed with some surprise:

"Let's hear it."

"I need to see Lin Yao and ask her some questions to confirm." Chen Xiao tentatively said first.

Xie Wensheng hesitated not and shook his head: "Sorry, the case is very serious and we can't let her come into contact with anyone at the moment. You can tell me what you want to ask her, then I'll go and question her."

"It seems the case is really tricky, Captain Xie, but I just want to ask, have you gone to find the car thieves? Have you found the car thieves? Or are you still highly suspecting Lin Yao? After bringing Lin Yao in for questioning, did she tell you about the detailed process of being robbed?"

"In her detailed description, did she say her itinerary that day was to first go to the bank to withdraw money, and then take a taxi to the wholesale market to purchase goods? Right after she got out of the taxi, two car thieves immediately snatched her satchel containing fifty thousand yuan in cash?"

Chen Xiao's words were full of rhetorical questions.

Xie Wensheng wasn't angered by the rhetorical questions, instead, he thought for a moment.

And he only needed the time of a few breaths to suddenly lift his head.

Chen Xiao knew he understood, so he continued: "Lin Yao's sister is also a police officer in Dongzhou. When Lin Yao came to Shencheng City alone to start a business, her sister had once reminded her to be careful about everything when outside, whether taking transportation or visiting unfamiliar places, to remember the vehicles and locally distinctive markers."

"So I came to ask Captain Xie if she remembered the license plate number or the operating company of the taxi she took!"

"I suppose you didn't consider the possibility of a taxi driver conspiring with car thieves during your inquiry!"
