Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Patting His Leg!

Chen Xiao really forgot about Pan Huiping.

The latter is the captain of the criminal police in Hai City Celestial Valley District.

The Wu Family Sisters are also from Hai City Celestial Valley District.

Although no one knows where the woman selling goods is from.

But how many regions have appeared in the whole case?

Only Jiang Province and Hai City, just these two places!

If you can’t find the woman’s information within Jiang Province, then what about Hai City?

Could there be a surprise?

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Xiao immediately called Pan Huiping.

However, when he called, Pan Huiping didn’t answer!

Seeing this, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but think maybe Pan Huiping was busy, and his matter wasn’t urgent.

But unexpectedly, Liu Dayou also picked up his phone at this time and asked:

"Brother Chen, are you calling Captain Pan?"

Chen Xiao nodded: "Yes."

"Then I’ll call her private number; she seems to be resting today and catching up on sleep. If it’s urgent, her leader would call her private number too."

Liu Dayou explained a lot before making the call.

The phone rang for about ten seconds, and Pan Huiping answered:

"Hello, Dayou, what’s up?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao squinted his eyes.

Lin Xi couldn’t help but glance over and asked, "Honey, what’s going on? Does Dayou have Captain Pan’s private number, and you don’t?"

"Well, his name has ’Da’ in it!"

"Oh~~." Lin Xi deliberately elongated the sound, while Liu Dayou hurriedly said:

"Uh, Huiping... Captain Pan, my Brother Chen has something he wants to talk about."

Chen Xiao shot Liu Dayou a threatening look, then took the phone:

"Hello, Captain Pan, sorry to disturb your rest."

"It’s okay. Is there something urgent you need me for?"

"I need your help to find someone on my end; can you see if she’s from Hai City?"

"Alright, send me her details later, and I’ll have someone compare them."

"It’s only a sketch, and it’s just a rough drawing I made myself, not guaranteed to be 100% accurate." Chen Xiao explained, and Pan Huiping fell silent for two seconds but didn’t hesitate:

"Okay, send me the sketch, but due to the lack of information, it might take some time. I’ll try to have someone work overtime tonight."

"Thanks."

"You’re welcome."

The two ended the call like this.

But Chen Xiao didn’t hang up; instead, he handed the phone to Liu Dayou.

After taking it, Liu Dayou moved to the side, slightly complaining: "What’s going on with you? Haven’t eaten since sleeping? I told you before... ."

Listening to Liu Dayou’s voice gradually fade, Lin Xi’s expression became increasingly suspicious.

"Honey, you better not tell me the situation is what I suspect."

"Don’t ask me, I’m stunned too. The only thing I know more than you is, I felt there was something going on between them back in Hai City."

"Can’t be. I don’t mean to belittle your friend, but Dayou is now also my good friend. Still, this doesn’t fit... the main point is that Captain Pan wasn’t she into... into Director Zhang?"

Chen Xiao also smiled wryly: "She let go of that a long time ago; it’s just observers mistakenly thought she hadn’t. Captain Pan, well... what can I say... she’s just a bold woman who dares to love and let go!"

Lin Xi didn’t say anything, just silently gave a thumbs up.

Not long after, Liu Dayou finished his call and returned.

Chen Xiao and Lin Xi didn’t gossip about him and Pan Huiping; they waited silently outside the morgue for Wu Liuxian.

Wu Liuxian stayed inside for a while and then quietly came out.

As soon as Wu Liuxian stepped out, Chen Xiao was about to take him away when suddenly several police officers appeared in front.

"Hello, you must be Officer Lin and Advisor Chen. We are from the Provincial City Longhu District branch criminal police squad. Which one of you is Wu Liuxian?"

Chen Xiao’s eyes squinted immediately.

Wu Liuxian was also stunned and looked at Chen Xiao.

But quickly Chen Xiao gestured not to worry, then negotiated proactively:

"Why are you looking for him?"

"We were notified that the Provincial Archaeology Team found a male corpse during the development of an ancient tomb in 1998. Now we need to bring Mr. Wu back for questioning."

"No need to worry, just routine questioning."

Chen Xiao took a deep breath.

As a police advisor, Chen Xiao knew that in such matters, he couldn’t interfere.

Moreover, interference in these situations would only make things worse.

Besides, they had reasonable grounds!

Especially since Wu Liuxian was suspected to be related to that corpse, the police had every reason to do this.

Chen Xiao exhaled deeply and approached Wu Liuxian.

"Brother, you’re here because I invited you; it’s my responsibility since this happened."

Wu Liuxian was a calm person.

He figured things out clearly in the current situation.

"It seems this series of events happened because of you and that Professor Qu targeting, but if you think about it calmly, maybe it’s not because of targeting but because my six-fingered hand attracted Professor Qu’s attention long ago."

"Also, if I didn’t know you, I’d probably be flustered in such situations. But now that I know you, I don’t need to panic. Being fair, I inherently have a duty to cooperate with police questioning, don’t I?"

Chen Xiao nodded: "Alright, brother, just cooperate. Answer their questions as asked."

Wu Liuxian chuckled, then patted his leg, and Chen Xiao instantly understood his meaning!

Watching Wu Liuxian leave, Chen Xiao said, "Let’s go back to Jingguang Village. Oh, by the way, the archaeology team is stationed in the village, right?"

Lin Xi instantly understood what Chen Xiao meant, while Liu Dayou rolled up his sleeves:

"Okay, bro, they’re in the village. I’ll take you there."

Lin Xi suddenly said sternly: "What are you guys up to? Professor Qu is a civil servant!"

Chen Xiao flashed a grin at Lin Xi, then whispered a few words in her ear.

Hearing this, Lin Xi’s expression changed: "Is that okay?"

"They’re presenting an opportunity. Why not try? Better to make a mistake than miss out."

Lin Xi didn’t say more; Liu Dayou didn’t understand their conversation, but felt upset and said: freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"That Professor Qu still dares to be a professor; isn’t it just asking some improper questions? He dares to use underhanded tactics! He should’ve said everything clearly to our face instead of sending us to the morgue and the criminal police squad, we must get an explanation!"

Liu Dayou was very angry.

He finally met a friend who felt like an old buddy upon meeting.

Yet, he was taken away by the police; how could he not be angry!

Chen Xiao explained nothing, silently driving towards Jingguang Village.

Soon after, returning to the village, Chen Xiao parked the car right at the door of Qu Ruogu’s lodging.

Liu Dayou headed to knock on the door, but Chen Xiao stopped him.

Approaching the doorway, Chen Xiao knocked twice politely and asked:

"Professor Qu, still up?"

"No, I’m waiting for you!"
