Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Director Gao Covered in Sweat!

Chen Xiao was brought to the county bureau police team just like that.

Sitting in the chair for those being questioned at the county bureau police team, Chen Xiao’s expression was somewhat playful.

In the past, he always sat in the chair opposite, but today he was being questioned for the first time.

As for the earlier times he was detained, it was almost like he wasn’t even questioned upon arrival at the local police station; he was directly given the detention package.

As for his parents and wife Lin Xi, at that time they all chose to turn a blind eye.

As if what the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve over.

Now, as he sat in this chair, many thoughts surfaced in his mind.

Zuo Shu should be dead.

Chen Xiao thought there was at least a 90% possibility.

The reason for leaving 10% was because the head hadn’t been seen, and the victim’s identity verification results hadn’t been issued.

Chen Xiao felt he should be more rigorous.

But his thinking could proceed with the assumption that Zuo Shu was indeed dead.

After dinner last night, the relationship between Chen Xiao and Zuo Shu broke down, and Zuo Shu was kicked flying by Chen Xiao.

Afterwards, Zuo Shu angrily left.

As for where he went, Chen Xiao did not ask.

And during the conversation with Zuo Shu, whether going to Qingxi or later to Dongzhou, Zuo Shu never had anyone with him.

Which means, he was traveling alone along the way.

From Shencheng City to Qingxi, and from Qingxi to Dongzhou, Zuo Shu drove the vehicle from the scene of the crime all the way.

So his journey lasted a good ten or twenty days.

In such a long time, Chen Xiao didn’t think the person who wanted to kill Zuo Shu couldn’t find an opportunity.

But Zuo Shu died after meeting him.

What does that signify?

It signifies that the person who killed Zuo Shu should clearly understand the relationship between Chen Xiao and him.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen to act at such a coincidental time!

As for the hair found on Zuo Shu, Chen Xiao also deemed it was his own.

But it didn’t really matter for him.

He and Zuo Shu were sitting side by side while eating.

During the false gestures and shoulder-to-shoulder camaraderie, where they raised glasses and clinked glasses, shedding hair was quite normal.

So now Chen Xiao was more curious, if Zuo Shu’s death was truly orchestrated against him.

Then to pin him down as a criminal suspect, it certainly wouldn’t rely solely on a single hair!

He was quite interested in what the other party would throw out next.

The act of the murderer brazenly cutting off Zuo Shu’s head also hinted that there might be a substantial enmity between them.

That enmity must be greater than Chen Xiao’s, as Chen Xiao felt even if they were at loggerheads, he wouldn’t resort to such cold-blooded cruel means.

So, who is that person?

To find that person, one must know clearly what changes happened in Zuo Shu’s life!

Unfortunately, Chen Xiao couldn’t investigate the matter temporarily; he was also not free by his own will.

While Chen Xiao was struggling in his thoughts, finally someone came to take his statement.

The ones taking the record were just two junior policemen.

Seeing them, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but smile and ask: "Where’s your Captain Li?"

"Captain Li is busy, he asked us to question Mr. Chen."

"Don’t stand on ceremony, now I’m a suspect, let’s go by the book." Chen Xiao said with a smile, then began to save them from the initial inquiries himself:

"Chen Xiao, male, from Songshanping Village, Songtan Town, Lanshan County, 23 years old."

The two policemen exchanged glances and nodded, then one asked:

"What is your relationship with the deceased?"

"Currently, it should be no particular relationship, but previously on a project in Shencheng City, I was a rival to him."

"What project?"

"The development project of Yanghu Bay in Shencheng City."

The policemen took notes and then asked, "Why did the suspected deceased Zuo Shu appear at your house last night?"

"I’m not quite sure, but he said that after the failure in the struggle over Yanghu Bay, he wanted to see my business trajectory. So, he went to Qingxi, later came to Dongzhou and visited our Lobster Base in Lanshan County."

Chen Xiao began to slowly articulate the reason for Zuo Shu’s visit to Dongzhou, and detailed his activities after arriving in Dongzhou.

The policemen didn’t ask much more, they were nearly entirely noting things down.

Once they finished recording and closed the notebook, they said:

"Please continue waiting here patiently, we’ll inform you if there’s any news."

"Alright, thank you both."

The policemen smiled slightly, preparing to leave. But just as they opened the door, someone happened to open it from the outside.

The visitor was exactly the Director of Lanshan County Bureau — Gao Bo.

At this moment, Gao Bo, without exaggeration, was really sweating profusely.

In the time before he arrived at the interrogation room, the phone in his office and his mobile phone were completely overwhelmed.

Whether county leaders or city leaders, almost all called simultaneously.

Gao Bo had no choice but to answer according to the size of the position.

And the content of the entire phone conversations was surprisingly unanimous.

It’s that they already knew Chen Xiao was brought to the county criminal police team!

Currently, Chen Xiao is involved in the largest investment solicitation Eastzhou has ever seen!

Therefore, the case involving Chen Xiao must be treated seriously!

Not even a slight oversight should occur in handling the case!

Although the leaders didn’t explicitly say anything in the calls, Gao Bo understood!

He understood very well!

Currently, Chen Xiao is not just a celebrity in the detective field in Dongzhou.

His appearance not only boosted the county’s economy but also brought in the largest investment since the establishment of the city.

If such a person is checked by their county bureau as a murderer, imagine the huge losses the whole of Lanshan County and Dongzhou would suffer!

However, despite his sweaty head, Gao Bo wasn’t flustered.

Whether from his profession or instinct, both told him Chen Xiao might be involved but couldn’t be the murderer.

Chen Xiao was so good at solving cases, a direct involvement pointed at him, and it’s 99.99% not related to Chen Xiao.

Because Chen Xiao wouldn’t be that stupid!

The two policemen at the door greeted "Director Gao", while Gao Bo just nodded and walked straight in, shutting the door behind him.

Seeing no one else around, Gao Bo didn’t sit down but directly asked:

"Mr. Chen... Chen Xiao, regarding such cases you’re more professional than me, so you must have ways to prove your innocence, right?"

Chen Xiao smiled wryly: "Director Gao, I really don’t have a way now!"

"I don’t know what you’re thinking, but some feeling tells me your calmness means you have confidence. You don’t say, and I won’t press, but we’re both Lanshan people, and given your current special status, you should understand my pressure, right?"

Listening to Gao Bo’s words, Chen Xiao still smiled wryly:

"If I could get some information, I might find a breakthrough. Currently, I’m involved in the case, not only me; even my wife can’t investigate this case."

"Director Gao, wait for the higher-ups’ arrangements. This case, the city will surely set up a task force for! By then, it might not have much to do with Lanshan County."

Chen Xiao didn’t directly tell Gao Bo he could prove his innocence; it’s not just a matter of trust, but he himself now didn’t know exactly why Zuo Shu died!

So unless Lin Xi or others he trusts enough stood before him, he wasn’t willing to reveal his backup plan.

After all, he and Gao Bo really weren’t familiar!
