Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 206 206: Becoming More and More of a Match!

Chen Xiao performed the salute he mentioned in front of Xie Wensheng.

Xie Wensheng initially couldn't understand it, but as Chen Xiao's movements froze, his eyes gradually widened.

He even forgot to exhale the smoke in his mouth!

"Someone, come!"

"Someone, come!"

Xie Wensheng immediately shouted to his subordinates.

All the police officers at the scene gathered around, puzzled, and asked, "Captain Xie, what's wrong?"

"It's a holiday now, all schools are on vacation, so besides the teachers or security guards on duty, they're all empty!"

"Pass the order to search all the primary schools in the district. Don't worry about showing ID first, just go in and look. I'll go ask the leaders to approve a note!"

Xie Wensheng already understood Chen Xiao's meaning.

That wasn't any other kind of salute.

It was the salute of the Pioneer Team, present at the primary school level!

Beads of sweat were already covering Xie Wensheng's forehead, yet Chen Xiao calmly said to him:

"Don't rush. If the murderer displays such a salute on an adult, can't you see it as a hint about the dumping site of the body?"

Xie Wensheng raised his head, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Chen Xiao spoke again: "Based on your current investigation, how many people can't be found?"

"Six! Xiong Ruru, You You, Xue Xiangdi, Wu Rui, and then there are two friends missing!"

"How many have been found now?"

"Three, the three women in their social circle have all been found!"

"Then when handling the last female victim and displaying such a salute, does the murderer have another hint?"

Chen Xiao's words were very clear.

Xie Wensheng's gaze tightened: "You're saying this is not only a hint about the location but also includes the murderer's inner hint!"

Chen Xiao nodded: "A search is still necessary, but have you noticed a characteristic of the murderer's body dumping?"

"Please tell!"

Xie Wensheng became exceptionally humble.

This wasn't an act; at this moment, Xie Wensheng was genuinely feeling it.

"Xiong Ruru hinted that Xue Xiangdi would be dumped at Renxin Bridge, but Xue Xiangdi wasn't found under Renxin Bridge but some distance away. Similarly, Xue Xiangdi hinted this third female victim at Yaoxi, but Yaoxi is no longer called Yaoxi, so the fourth dumping site hinted by this third victim probably isn't in the center either."

"After all, it's a corpse. If you don't use the main entrance, you must climb over the wall. Once you climb over the wall, many uncertain factors arise. Hence, I suggest focusing on searching the surroundings of the school. Especially places suitable for dumping bodies, such as whether there are hills or forests behind the school!"

"And back to the point I considered about the murderer's inner hint. Captain Xie, think about why he makes such an indication on the last female victim?"

Xie Wensheng frowned: "The sequence may not be worth investigating, right? There must be a first, then a second and third body dumped."

"That's the idea, but what if... this last victim is found, equivalent to the release of half of what is inside of the victim? Don't forget, when dealing with serial homicide cases involving multiple people, another case is highly likely to exist behind it!"

Even ordinary people can understand these words.

Why does someone go to great lengths to kill several others?

Let's bypass the notion that they are a mad killer because such a possibility is relatively rare in murder cases.

Moreover, the six missing people are all connected!

So, the serial murder case with clear relational characteristics among victims generally has a motive, meaning they might have done something together.

That action is the murderer's motive!

Xie Wensheng already understood, exhaled deeply, and said: "The last female, Pioneer Team salute... Did Xiong Ruru and the others do something to a little girl?"

Though asking, Xie Wensheng already showed an apologetic look and quickly left the scene.

He needs to search.

He most hopes there's an existing case related to this!

Only if such a case exists will the murderer become clear!

However, Chen Xiao wasn't sure whether Xie Wensheng was optimistic about the upcoming progress; he wasn't optimistic.

Because this is only half of the murderer's hint!

There are still three males, what will happen to them?

Xie Wensheng left, and most of the police officers did too.

Only two or three officers remained to assist the forensic experts.

Zhao Hai looked dazedly and asked: "Chen Xiao, what do I do?"

Chen Xiao turned to look at him and laughed, "No worries, go back to the criminal investigation team with those police officers later, make do for tonight, I'll keep an eye on Xiaoyu. Tonight, I'll arrange for her to sleep with Lin Yao."

Zhao Hai nodded and got into the police car with the officers.

Chen Xiao watched his back silently.

Liu Dayou approached, speaking coldly: "Brother Chen, give me his birthdate, and I'll do a reading!"

"You can perform without a limit all day long?"

"I don't know. They say peeking into the heavens too much shortens one's lifespan, but I haven't felt that. So who cares, life without excitement is dull even if you live to a hundred!"

"You take it lightly, but why the reading for Zhao Hai?"

"I noticed your gaze on him has changed."

Chen Xiao regained calmness: "You've said peeking too much shortens life, so it's unnecessary to do a reading for everyone."

"Alright then, where are we headed?"

"Let's head back to the hotel."

Saying this, Chen Xiao walked to the car, and as he opened the door, Zhao Xiaoyu asked: "Uncle, where's my dad?"

"Xiaoyu, let's discuss something. Suppose the police need your dad's help to catch bad guys, would you agree to let him help them first?"

Zhao Xiaoyu's eyes brightened: "My dad can catch bad guys too?"

"Absolutely."

Zhao Xiaoyu nodded: "But dad won't be in danger, right!"

"No, he's very safe. But tonight, he won't be able to accompany you, you'll stay with uncle first."

"Okay, uncle, I'm really sleepy. Can I sleep now?"

"Yes, I'll take you to find a pretty lady to stay with tonight."

Chen Xiao reassured Zhao Xiaoyu and then got into the car to head to the hotel.

Upon reaching the hotel, Chen Xiao handed Zhao Xiaoyu over to Lin Yao.

Originally, Lin Yao's gaze turned sharp as she saw Zhao Xiaoyu, but after counting on her fingers, she shook her head.

Chen Xiao knew what she was calculating, laughed, and scolded: "She's the daughter of an old friend who went to assist with police work tonight, help take care of her for tonight."

"Cough... Got it, little sister, I'll take you to the room."

Watching them enter the room, Chen Xiao turned away.

But as he turned, the current investigation's clues involuntarily surfaced in his mind again.

"This matches Zhao Hai more and more!"
