Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 204 204: Endurance and Love, Zhao Xiaoyu Waves Hello!

Suddenly, he heard Liu Dayou's shout.

Chen Xiao decided not to bother with Xie Wensheng for now and ran over to Liu Dayou to ask:

"What do you mean by 'revealed hexagram'?"

"A revealed hexagram means the hexagram sign has manifested. Based on the birth dates provided by Captain Xie, I deduced that these two girls violated a taboo!"

"The meaning of taboo involves catastrophe from spoken words and catastrophe from ingestion. The hexagram seems to indicate ingestion!"

Chen Xiao brought Liu Dayou to Shencheng City due to prior reasons, holding high expectations for him.

But now he's saying ingestion is the source of catastrophe, isn't this a waste of effort?

The stomachs of the previous victims showed many food residues and high concentrations of alcohol.

This is clearly catastrophe from ingestion!

Xie Wensheng listened, then laughed embarrassedly, giving a thumbs up: "Regardless, your friend is indeed skilled, even managing to deduce that from the hexagram."

Though Liu Dayou was a bit late.

Both Chen Xiao and Xie Wensheng understood that Liu Dayou was unaware of this information, so being able to deduce it from the hexagram was amazing, albeit less surprising.

Not being stingy with compliments, Chen Xiao said, "Nicely done, can you see anything else?"

"No, why do I feel like you two are reluctant? Did I make a mistake?"

"You didn't make a mistake, just a bit late, and the forensic analysis had already determined ingestion as the cause."

Liu Dayou felt somewhat disappointed: "Alright, but I need to ponder further on other things."

With that, Liu Dayou collected the copper coins, and Chen Xiao asked in surprise, "You're not going to continue looking?"

Liu Dayou shook his head: "The hexagram is in my mind."

Chen Xiao nodded without saying more, then turned to Xie Wensheng: "Captain Xie, what do you mean by saying there was an early hint?"

"On Xiong Ruru's right hand, there's a tattoo of the word 'endure'. With your reminder, tearing it apart, it's knife-heart, and not far from where Xue Zhaodi was found, there's Renxin Bridge!"

Chen Xiao was astonished, while Xie Wensheng said with a troubled expression:

"I saw the tattoo at the scene, but many people have such tattoos. I wanted to justify myself, but without you mentioning the possibility of the perpetrator guiding, I wouldn't have linked it until now."

Xie Wensheng was regretful.

But Chen Xiao understood him.

Tattoos are becoming popular these days.

Most do not choose full-arm tattoos, and the words are not 'king' or 'wealth'.

These days, two words lead the tattoo trend: endure and love.

No one would think of the 'endure' tattoo as a hint from the perpetrator!

Thinking about this, Chen Xiao intentionally ignored Xiong Ruru's hint to Xue Zhaodi, and instead asked how Xue Zhaodi's body hinted at the third body.

Xie Wensheng calmed down, pointed around him: "This area used to be called Yaoxi, renamed for ten years now."

Upon hearing Yaoxi, Liu Dayou exclaimed: "Huh, I think I saw these words in the information provided on Xue Zhaodi's ID!"

Xie Wensheng nodded: "That's right, when Xue Zhaodi was found, she had a wallet in her pocket with her ID indicating her hometown village name was Yaoxi Village!"

"Then it's basically confirmed, the perpetrator seeks clues from the victims. These clues are obscure but all point to locations, so let's hope by the third body, he hasn't changed his thinking."

While speaking, Chen Xiao decided not to visit the Criminal Police Team to see the victims' belongings.

Now, the crucial task is to uncover the next likely disposal site from clues on the victim's body.

Chen Xiao and Xie Wensheng returned to examine the third body together.

However, in such matters, Chen Xiao could only assist, being unfamiliar with Shencheng City and its locations.

If the perpetrator has geographical hints, Chen Xiao would be hard-pressed to make connections, relying solely on Xie Wensheng.

As Xie Wensheng carefully surveyed, Chen Xiao approached and asked: "Do you have photos of when the victim was first discovered?"

"Yes."

"When you took the photos, the eyewitnesses didn't move the victim, right?"

"They didn't move him. Mr. Chen, let me show you."

With that said, the officer handed a few photos of the crime scene to Chen Xiao.

Taking them, Chen Xiao sat down to study the police's various photos of the victim.

From the photos, the girl's posture was clearly deliberately arranged.

With this intentional signal flooding in, Chen Xiao immediately grew alert.

Why did the perpetrator need to deliberately pose the disposed victim?

There might be significant meaning behind this!

Chen Xiao, for now, refrained from thinking further, focusing on pondering the victim's posture.

Her legs were together.

The left arm was placed vertically, closely against her pants.

But the right wrist was resting on her forehead!

Studying the photo, Chen Xiao couldn't help but mimic the posture.

Yet, no matter how he tried, it seemed like a gesture of hitting the forehead with the wrist!

In this posture, Chen Xiao struggled to glean any meaning.

While deep in thought, Lin Xi's call came through.

Pausing the contemplation, Chen Xiao answered the call.

"Honey, I heard from Yaoyao that you stayed at the crime scene, have you decided to take my suggestion?" Lin Xi asked.

Chen Xiao smiled: "I'm being grilled by Guo Qing."

"Huh? What's up?"

"He had the same idea as you, but he's too aggressive, directly inviting reporters over, trying to elevate me and undermine Xie Wensheng, aiming to quickly establish me as the Guo Family's Company brand."

Lin Xi understood immediately: "I don't know why he's in such a hurry; things can go gradually."

"It's natural and matches his personality. All his thoughts now revolve around succeeding the Guo Family. Today, he was asked to start business in Shencheng City, naturally eager. The baffling part is not consulting me beforehand."

"Yeah, setting him aside, what about your case, is it tricky?"

"Intuitively rather tricky, the perpetrator clearly taunts the police, but I can't grasp his thoughts yet." Chen Xiao responded.

Lin Xi: "Why don't you tell me, and I'll see if I can offer advice!"

"I'll share later, let me first send you photos by MMS, could you see if the victim's posture holds any meaning?"

Chen Xiao quickly found a well-lit spot, snapped the photos, and sent them to Lin Xi via MMS.

A while later, Lin Xi's voice came over the phone: "This posture looks deliberately posed, but if deliberately posed, what could hitting the head with the wrist signify?"

After viewing the photos, both Lin Xi and Chen Xiao agreed it appeared as a gesture hitting the forehead.

Chen Xiao mulled over it once more, and finally said with a hint of resignation: "Indeed, the perpetrator positioned her hand as if hitting her crown..."

While speaking, he suddenly paused mid-sentence.

His gaze drifted to the perimeter, spotting two familiar figures romping outside the police cordon.

In the arms was Zhao Xiaoyu, waving his right hand above his head greeting him!
