Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 217 217: The Fuse

"His wife was killed by his treatment!"

When Huang Zhao said this, Chen Xiao and Xie Wensheng instinctively looked at each other.

After a brief exchange of glances, Chen Xiao and Xie Wensheng silently returned.

"Sir, you said Jiang Anguang's wife was killed by his treatment, how old was his child when his wife passed away?"

Chen Xiao posed the question.

In their investigation, the Young Pioneers salute was always considered an important piece of information.

However, what Chen Xiao and Xie Wensheng didn't expect was that Huang Zhao sighed and shook his head: "The cause of everything lies in this matter."

"Did they not have children?" Chen Xiao was quite surprised.

Huang Zhao nodded: "Yes, Jiang Anguang was already in his thirties or forties and the couple had endured a lot over the years for a child. But the problem was with his wife, she had seen many doctors, whether in traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine. Because of that, Jiang Anguang tried many folk remedies."

"It was precisely because she consumed too many of these remedies, every medicine is three parts poison, that Jiang Anguang's wife's health deteriorated. By last year, her body was already at the end of its rope."

"Did Jiang Anguang ever treat Xiong Ruru and Xue Xiangdi?" Chen Xiao asked again.

Huang Zhao replied immediately, without any hesitation: "In recent years, Jiang Anguang actually earned quite a bit of money, but he spent it all on his wife. Later, when his wife's health failed, Jiang Anguang became somewhat crazed and dared to treat and prescribe for any illness."

"Those two girls were surrounded by a bad crowd, whenever they got into a dispute and got injured, they would go to Jiang Anguang."

"So, he was quite familiar with them!"

"Yes, I remember the particularly well-behaved girl had a troublesome boyfriend. Initially, when something happened, the girl would always bring her boyfriend to see me, but later I was truly angered by their lack of progress, so I refused to treat them anymore. After I stopped treating them, they went to find Jiang Anguang."

Chen Xiao and Xie Wensheng exchanged glances again, and soon the latter asked the most crucial question:

"Doctor, do you know if Jiang Anguang has contracted a garbage processing plant or a recycling station?"

"I'm not sure about that, but I've heard that Jiang Anguang has invested in many industries."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao fell into deep thought.

To him, Jiang Anguang's overall image didn't fit the profile of the murderer he had in mind.

Jiang Anguang was essentially a shady doctor.

The key trait of a shady doctor is greed.

But the murderer never gave Chen Xiao the impression of greed.

Moreover, none of the key points revealed by Huang Zhao matched with the critical points of the case.

After considering, Chen Xiao still didn't label Jiang Anguang as a suspect.

Even Xie Wensheng felt the same way, he looked up at Chen Xiao, signaling that it was about time to leave.

Chen Xiao returned a glance, then stood up ready to speak, but his brows unexpectedly furrowed.

"Captain Xie, what kind of person do we perceive the murderer to be?"

Xie Wensheng was a bit startled: "A person whose exterior and interior are completely opposite."

"Yes, I once felt the murderer. To me, his appearance seems approachable, but his inner self is quite isolated. So, do you think this matches?"

Chen Xiao looked at Xie Wensheng, who first pondered for a moment, then raised his head with a shocked expression:

"It matches well! To a greedy person, everyone's appearance might bring certain value. For that value, they would be more approachable than anyone else!"

"Exactly, just like the half smiling face I drew, smiling so brightly! Unfortunately, that's just a perception." Chen Xiao said calmly.

Xie Wensheng didn't let go of this intuition, and said seriously: "I'll have someone look into it to see if he ever engaged in the waste recycling business."

Chen Xiao nodded silently, seeing Xie Wensheng making a phone call, he then asked Huang Zhao:

"Doctor, has anything happened recently at Jiang Anguang's home? Something crucial to him, but seemingly insignificant to others?"

Huang Zhao shook his head: "Those are his personal matters. How could I, as a colleague, know so much?"

Chen Xiao smiled: "Indeed. Do you know about him and his wife, though?"

"His wife visited me many times in the past, Jiang Anguang accompanied her. From my perspective, the couple seemed very loving."

Chen Xiao was a bit confused: "Jiang Anguang made his wife try all kinds of drugs just to have offspring, can this really be considered love?"

"You misunderstood me; the problem was with his wife. It doesn't mean Jiang Anguang insisted on having a child, it just indicates his wife couldn't conceive. And the person the couple couldn't truly let go of was actually his wife."

"Perhaps it was because Jiang Anguang deeply loved his wife, that she constantly felt guilty, and kept urging Jiang Anguang to try folk remedies. But Jiang Anguang wasn't proficient in medicine, so he didn't understand the extent of those remedies."

"I see…."

Chen Xiao responded, his voice gradually weakening.

But perhaps it was because Chen Xiao triggered Huang Zhao's memories, or Huang Zhao had a deep impression of Jiang Anguang's wife, so he couldn't help but talk more.

"Fate is often too cruel; in my memory, Jiang Anguang's wife Qin Ling was very cheerful, cultured, and not superstitious. Yet it was precisely this kind of woman who developed an obsession to have offspring for Jiang Anguang, eventually paying with her life, alas…."

Chen Xiao listened and subconsciously asked: "What was his wife's occupation?"

"She was a primary school teacher, at Red Maple Lake Primary School. But years ago, Red Maple Lake Primary School relocated, and the old school was left abandoned."

Upon hearing the name Red Maple Lake Primary School.

Chen Xiao's eyes instantly froze.

But he remained silent, as Xie Wensheng had already returned.

And having heard the name Red Maple Lake Primary School, his steps also halted!

He looked seriously at Huang Zhao and asked: "Doctor, you mean Red Maple Lake Primary School, right?"

"Yes."

Huang Zhao nodded, and Xie Wensheng looked at Chen Xiao, who had already stood up.

Red Maple Lake Primary School isn't elsewhere; it's precisely where Wu Rui, You You, and Luo Yan were discovered!

And previously, Jiang Anguang's wife Qin Ling had taught there!

Just this piece of information, combined with the entanglement between Jiang Anguang and Xiong Ruru and others, along with Jiang Anguang's identity as a doctor, puts all suspicion on him at this moment!

However, just this isn't enough, it's still lacking some significance!

In other words, there's still some lack of logic in marking Jiang Anguang as a suspect!

Chen Xiao's mind began to quickly turn.

He recalled Liu Dayou's saying about disaster arising from careless speech.

Remembered the autopsy which revealed Hu Caixia and Wu Rui having smashed mouths and full stomachs.

Also remembered how Xue Xiangdi and Luo Yan had their eyes removed!

And recalled the previous analysis of the case.

Which is that the trigger for this series of murders likely wasn't enmity in many people's eyes!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao asked: "Doctor, did Jiang Anguang's wife Qin Ling leave anything for him?"

Huang Zhao frowned in contemplation, after a long pause he suddenly said:

"Oh, now that you mention it… I haven't seen Duoduo in a while!"
