Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 203 203: The Killer Has Been Guiding You!

Chen Xiao now was more than just suspicious.

He was almost certain that among the three discovered corpses, two young girls were very likely the ones who robbed Zhao Hai.

The only discrepancy was that all three discovered corpses were young girls!

Finding Zhao Hai was not difficult for Chen Xiao.

So he didn't rush to tell Xie Wensheng this.

In his feeling, Zhao Hai shouldn't be a killer, unless… those two pairs who robbed him did something to Zhao Xiaoyu, and Zhao Hai concealed it when facing Chen Xiao!

Of course, after the scene investigation was completed, Chen Xiao felt it necessary to talk to Zhao Hai again.

Because now it's not about whether Zhao Hai wants more trouble, but trouble has already found him.

Chen Xiao stood up without observing the corpses further.

"Are there often people walking around this area?"

Xie Wensheng walked over and replied, "After the corpses were found, I immediately had nearby patrolling officers come over to maintain order, so the scene should not be too bad."

Saying this, Xie Wensheng pointed to a spot: "Look, there are dragging marks on the ground."

Chen Xiao followed the marks that Xie Wensheng pointed out and then asked, "Have you discovered what kind of vehicle was used for transportation?"

"It should be a tricycle, without any surprise. The first-arriving patrol officers already conducted a road investigation as per my request. There are still very obvious tricycle brake marks on the road."

Chen Xiao nodded, and Xie Wensheng continued, "Let me tell you about the relationship between the first two victims."

"Xiong Ruru and Xue Xiangdi both came to Shencheng City last year. Xiong Ruru is currently unemployed, while Xue Xiangdi works as a waitress in a karaoke bar. However, they met at another karaoke bar, where Xue Xiangdi was also a waitress and Xiong Ruru went to hang out."

"Among Xiong Ruru's friends, a guy liked Xue Xiangdi's looks and often teased her. After bullying Xue Xiangdi to tears, Xiong Ruru couldn't stand it and smashed that guy's head with a bottle. Since then, Xue Xiangdi and Xiong Ruru became like sisters."

"Their personalities are vastly different; Xiong Ruru is rather mischievous and hangs out with idle people in society, you could consider her a little gangster."

"Xue Xiangdi, on the other hand, is very introverted and is said to cry easily by her former colleagues. Through Xiong Ruru's boyfriend You You's introduction, she met her current boyfriend Wu Rui. Our investigation into Xue Xiangdi's bank transactions discovered that after meeting Wu Rui, the frequency of withdrawals from her account multiplied."

"Originally, after a year of working, Xue Xiangdi had saved over ten thousand yuan. But after meeting Wu Rui, within a month and a half, more than ten thousand yuan was completely spent."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao sighed long: "Have you contacted their families?"

"Xiong Ruru's family has arrived in Shencheng City, and we also contacted Xue Xiangdi's parents, but honestly, I don't want them to come."

Chen Xiao looked surprised, as Xie Dongsheng pulled out a cigarette: "I informed them over the phone that Xue Xiangdi was murdered, and their biggest concern was compensation. When I said the killer hasn't been caught, they cursed me out and then asked if the officials would compensate if the killer isn't caught... Haha."

At the end, Xie Dongsheng chuckled and then took a deep drag of his cigarette.

Chen Xiao stayed calm: "Just from the name, you could see Xue Xiangdi probably has a younger brother, right?"

"Yes."

"Too naive, jumping out of the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's lair!"

Xie Dongsheng understood what Chen Xiao meant. After taking another deep drag, he said, "Xue Zhaodi and Xiong Ruru have been found, but You You and Wu Rui are still missing. Also, I suspect the girl found today might be a friend of either You You, Wu Rui, or Xiong Ruru."

"Furthermore, through the investigation, there is another male friend of theirs also currently missing."

"Now that the three girls are dead, I don't think the situation will be optimistic for the other three boys either, just waiting to see when the murderer will dispose of their bodies."

Chen Xiao silently nodded, and after thinking for a while, dead victims' clothing emerged in his mind.

Their clothes were disheveled, but without tears or signs of struggle.

Moreover, all three female victims had alcohol detected in their bodies, suggesting that they were intoxicated and then restrained by the killer before being murdered.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao asked, "Did the three female victims suffer any assault?"

"No, in my opinion, the killer was set on killing them from the start. But one thing is odd; they didn't suffer any assault, yet the state of their clothes would make someone subconsciously think they had been."

Chen Xiao nodded.

This was why he recalled the victims' clothing status earlier.

At first glance, he too thought that this involved that kind of crime.

But the results showed otherwise.

"Captain Xie, have you investigated in this direction?"

"When Xiong Ruru was found, I did investigate in that direction and discovered her boyfriend You You was missing, then found out about Xue Zhaodi and Wu Rui also missing."

Chen Xiao spread his hands: "Well, there you go, maybe that was his goal, to waste your efforts. Or perhaps he's leading you, showing that a few people have already fallen into his hands!"

Xie Wensheng's eyes suddenly focused, but Chen Xiao had already spoken:

"Take me to see everything found at the scene when the bodies were discovered. Since he's guiding you, he might be playing a cat-and-mouse game with you, there may be more clues!"

Xie Wensheng's mind tightened, even quietly exclaiming inside:

"Such swift thinking, it's the first time I've encountered someone so responsive in all my years in the force!"

No matter how shocked Xie Wensheng was, Chen Xiao had already started walking forward.

Xie Wensheng quickly followed, his mind flashing back to everything he'd seen on the corpses.

"Xiong Ruru was dumped at a landfill, no… to accurately say it's not a landfill, it's just due to poor waste management in the area, leading people to freely discard things, eventually forming the concept of a landfill!"

"When I got there after Xiong Ruru was found, the place was full of filth. Nothing significant was left on her body, so what is the clue?"

"Wait, there was a tattoo between Xiong Ruru's thumb and forefinger, it was the word '忍' (endure)!"

"And Xue Zhaodi was found by a riverbank, not far from Renxin Bridge! Renxin, blade heart?"

"Damn!"

As Chen Xiao walked ahead, he suddenly heard Xie Wensheng curse, which made him turn around and ask:

"What's wrong?"

Xie Wensheng looked troubled: "You guessed it right, the killer is mocking my intelligence! The disposal site of Xue Zhaodi was already hinted at after Xiong Ruru was found!"

Xie Wensheng had just finished speaking when Liu Dayou, who had been divining, suddenly exclaimed:

"Brother Chen, the sign is revealing!"
