Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 480: Chapter 480: His Head Is Missing!

The phone connected.

Guo Qing seemed very happy.

"Haha, my good brother, why did you think of me? Are you feeling sorry for me fighting alone in Shencheng City and want to come and keep me company?"

Hearing the tone, Chen Xiao knew Guo Qing had probably drunk quite a bit tonight.

"You didn’t just come from a drinking party, did you?"

Chen Xiao asked with a smile, and immediately a sweet voice came from Guo Qing’s end:

"President Guo, I’ve finished washing, do you need me to help you...?"

Before the voice on the other end could finish, there was suddenly silence.

Two seconds later, Guo Qing chuckled awkwardly:

"Cough cough, brother, understand, I’m just a guy. Don’t tell my grandfather, or he’ll scold me again!"

"I understand, I understand, maybe you should focus on your own business. At a time like this, I don’t want to spoil your mood."

Chen Xiao also felt his call wasn’t timed well.

But Guo Qing seriously said, "It’s okay, tell me your business."

"I just wanted to ask you about Zuo Shu’s situation."

"Oh, him? I mentioned him to Grandpa before, but he said you were busy in Hai City, so I didn’t contact you."

"Hmm, Elder Guo already mentioned it. I wanted to ask you, did anything unusual happen to him over there in Shencheng City?"

Guo Qing was surprised and said, "No unusual changes, and haven’t heard any rumors. However, the land at Yang Lake, it’s now certain that Zuo Shu has always been active there."

"Perhaps because of that land, Zuo Shu started having some different thoughts about you."

Listening to Guo Qing’s words, Chen Xiao realized he might not be very clear about Zuo Shu’s situation.

After a pause, Chen Xiao jokingly said:

"As long as there’s no change, that’s fine. Okay... I won’t interrupt your business anymore. But take care, you’re not that young, watch your back!"

"Damn, say anything about me, but if it’s about this, brother, I have to explain to you properly..."

Chen Xiao didn’t wait for Guo Qing to finish and hung up the phone.

Guo Qing didn’t call back either.

After all, his immediate task was to deal with his physical needs.

Putting down the phone, Chen Xiao fell into thought again.

But as the night deepened, Chen Xiao simply brought out a recliner and slept directly in the courtyard.

Perhaps it was the cool night wind soothing his troubled mind.

Even though his heart remained somewhat restless, Chen Xiao still fell asleep.

Upon waking up, Old Chen and his mom had come out, finding Chen Xiao in the courtyard, reproaching him:

"Did you sleep in the courtyard all night?"

"Couldn’t sleep indoors, it’s cooler in the courtyard!"

Chen Xiao smiled, and his mom pulled him up directly: "Hurry back to your room to sleep, yes it’s still a bit hot, but it’s easy to catch a cold when it’s cool at night!"

His parents showing concern, but Chen Xiao wasn’t sleepy anymore, so he decided to get up and move around.

Soon, his mom prepared breakfast, and Chen Xiao decided to return to the city after breakfast.

But just as he was about to pick up his bowl to eat breakfast, Xiaobo from Songshanping came running to Chen Xiao’s house.

"Grandpa Lie, something bad happened!"

Xiaobo ran fast.

This time, his pants didn’t fall off.

Seeing Chen Xiao was at home too, Xiaobo said with surprise: "Uncle Xiao, you’re home too!"

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded: "Xiaobo, what happened?"

"Many police officers went to the foot of Niu Shou Mountain, I heard someone died in a car!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao’s eyebrows furrowed sharply.

"Someone died in a car? Do you know who it is?"

Xiaobo shook his head: "I haven’t had time to check, I came to notify Grandpa Lie first."

Speaking, Xiaobo said: "Grandpa Lie, Uncle Xiao, are you going? If you go, take me with you!"

"Let’s go."

Chen Xiao put down his bowl and chopsticks.

Though not a policeman, he was constantly a police criminal consultant.

If a murder case occurred in the Songshanping area, Chen Xiao felt he should be there as soon as possible.

As for whether the attending officers needed his help, it was yet to be determined.

But when Chen Xiao drove with Old Chen and Xiaobo to the scene, his brows remained tightly furrowed.

For some reason, when Xiaobo mentioned someone died in a car, the irritating feeling in his heart reappeared.

But thinking seriously, Chen Xiao felt it unlikely.

Who is Zuo Shu?

Once a famous figure among the police, now a business tycoon.

Surely not dead!

Chen Xiao drove to the foot of Niu Shou Mountain, three kilometers away.

At this moment, many people were already gathered at the foot of the mountain, and Chen Xiao parked the car, instructing Xiaobo:

"Follow Grandpa, don’t run around recklessly, and stay out of trouble, okay?"

"Okay, Uncle Xiao!"

Xiaobo nodded obediently, and Chen Xiao took out his credentials and headed into the police cordon.

When Chen Xiao approached the cordon, his eyes suddenly widened.

Because the car surrounded by the police at the crime scene looked very familiar!

It was the very car Zuo Shu drove to his house last night!

At that moment, Chen Xiao’s heart began to beat more intensely.

The thought of Zuo Shu being dead firmly occupied his mind.

Then, a familiar voice called out to him:

"Mr. Chen, you’re at your hometown!"

It was Li Hui!

The captain of Lanshan County Bureau’s Criminal Police Team!

They had investigated the Chen Xianzu case together before.

Chen Xiao greeted Li Hui and moved swiftly toward the car.

Upon getting closer, the body and license plate of the car confirmed it was Zuo Shu’s car!

Seeing this, Chen Xiao took a deep breath and asked:

"What’s the situation with the deceased?"

"We don’t know who he is yet, but it’s confirmed he’s a male, in his forties. Based on the license plate, it’s registered in Shencheng."

Chen Xiao nodded: "Let me take a look, I might know him."

Li Hui looked surprised: "You know him?"

"Yes, he had dinner at my house last night!"

"No way!"

"To confirm if it’s him, I’ll just need to take a look."

"But..." Li Hui hesitated.

Chen Xiao looked back at him and asked, "But what?"

Li Hui’s expression grew more serious: "You should see for yourself, once you do, you’ll understand."

Chen Xiao didn’t ask further and quickly walked to the car.

As he walked, he took gloves from the forensic physician.

Once he reached the car, the strong smell of blood hit him.

With all his experience, Chen Xiao was unfazed by the stench and instinctively looked at the deceased’s clothes.

Indeed, it was the same outfit Zuo Shu wore yesterday!

He was sitting in the driver’s seat, still strapped with the seatbelt.

But as Chen Xiao’s gaze moved upward, his eyes widened bit by bit!

No wonder Li Hui said the deceased couldn’t yet be identified!

It turned out, Zuo Shu’s neck was completely empty!

His head... was missing!
