Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 486: Chapter 486: Entering the Game, the Whole Village’s False Testimonies!

Lin Xi and the others were discussing the evidence that could pin the murder charge on Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao sat alone in the interrogation room, contemplating the same issue.

Undoubtedly, Chen Xiao was also considering the implications of that severed head.

The mere presence of the head within Chen Xiao’s sphere of life was quite damning against him.

However, with Chen Xiao’s skills, finding other evidence to prove that the head was planted to frame him didn’t seem overly difficult.

Of course, this wasn’t self-flattery.

If the murderer targeted him, then they must understand him.

As long as they understood him, they should know that any overly simplistic tactics were mere folly.

Chen Xiao asked himself, "If I were the murderer, how would I ensure the murder charge against me was irrefutable?"

As he pondered, another question emerged in Chen Xiao’s mind:

In a criminal investigation, what kind of evidence can be called ironclad?

Fingerprints found at the crime scene and the absence of any other possible DNA on the victim!

That’s one type.

Additionally, the murder weapon.

However, whether it’s fingerprints or DNA, or the murder weapon, they all need to have relevance, legality, objectivity, and exclusivity.

Of course, if someone saw Chen Xiao carrying something resembling a head into the hiding place of the head.

And if Chen Xiao’s hair was found on the victim’s clothes, and it was ultimately identified as Chen Xiao’s.

And if there was evidence related to Chen Xiao on the head, it would largely confirm that Chen Xiao was the murderer.

But such connections also require a basic condition: Chen Xiao must not be able to provide an alibi.

Once Chen Xiao provides an alibi and proves it wasn’t fabricated, the murder charge against him would still not stand.

Chen Xiao suddenly felt that proving he committed murder seemed to be a rather difficult problem.

This feeling made him chuckle silently.

But after contemplating, Chen Xiao decided it would be easier to make an issue out of the head.

Chen Xiao drew with his hand on the table; although the drawings couldn’t form with his fingers, Lin Xi’s image was in his mind.

After sketching out the shape of Lin Xi’s head, Chen Xiao tapped lightly on the table with his fingers.

But no one knew that as he tapped, he was actually using an ability.

That ability was the Power of Slaughter!

Chen Xiao gained the Power of Slaughter on the day when heaven and earth were vying.

This ability was always used by Chen Xiao to examine how victims were killed.

But Chen Xiao was very aware that this ability’s usage might not have even shown the tip of the iceberg before.

Now, he wanted to try whether the Power of Slaughter could be used in the case of Lin Xi’s murder.

Soon, when the body of Lin Xi began to materialize in his mind, Chen Xiao quietly activated the Power of Construction.

And at the moment of activation, he felt he became the third person in the vehicle.

Lin Xi sat in the driver’s seat, and the murderer sat beside him, or rather, behind him!

The two seemed to be talking about something, but in such a scene, Chen Xiao naturally didn’t know what they were saying.

But being able to get in Lin Xi’s car, and decapitate him while alive, this person must have been known to Lin Xi.

Although Lin Xi had already drunk more than two pounds of liquor by then, Chen Xiao was certain he was fine when he left.

At that time, Chen Xiao and Lin Xi were already at odds, and it was impossible for him to kindly remind him not to drive after drinking.

Therefore, after using the Power of Slaughter, Chen Xiao felt that person not only needed to know Lin Xi.

The most crucial point was that a person of ordinary mind and ability couldn’t have decapitated Lin Xi, who had not lost mental or physical acuity.

So that person needed to be physically stronger than Lin Xi.

Of course, Chen Xiao also happened to have this strength.

Because the villagers saw him, he had kicked Lin Xi several meters away.

Lin Xi came to seek a favor, and when he failed, he left in shame and anger.

But at that moment, Chen Xiao suddenly remembered something very important.

It was the vehicle’s operational status!

When this issue surfaced in his mind, Chen Xiao immediately recalled the crime scene.

When the scene’s original state replayed in his mind, Chen Xiao’s eyes widened instantly.

"How could this be?"

"If the killer acted suddenly, why weren’t there any brake marks at the scene? What about chaotic skid marks from panic driving?"

"Is it because the car wasn’t moving at the time? But the road at the foot of Niu Shou Mountain leads to the county town and then onto the highway."

"Did he come to Dongzhou alone? After drinking, he might have worried about the dangers of drunk driving, but in Songtan Town, there are no hotels, and he had no check-in record there."

"Could it be that Lin Xi wasn’t murdered? Was he waiting there for the killer to arrive intentionally?"

"He was seeking death! The purpose of seeking death was to frame me with suspicion?"

"But what benefit would that be to Lin Xi? Is it because of that land by Yang Lake? Behind Lin Xi are his wife’s family. I took Yang Lake’s land from Lin Xi’s hands using media and public influence."

"Similarly, once I become a murderer, my public image will crumble! And while Yang Lake seems secure, if I face a major issue, it would still damage Dragon Cauldron significantly!"

With this possibility in mind, Chen Xiao glanced at the interrogation room door.

Four words emerged in his mind: Entering the scene by design!

Lin Xi could very well have entered the scene by design!

That’s why, at the drinking table, taking advantage of the alcohol’s effects, he fell out with him, even forcing Chen Xiao to kick him!

Chen Xiao didn’t hesitate much; he felt it was time to leak some information to the outside, urging them to focus on investigating Lin Xi’s current relationship with his father-in-law!

Understanding this would greatly assist the ongoing investigation!

Chen Xiao raised his head, looked at the camera on the wall, and shouted:

"Could you find Captain Li for me? I have important information to report!"

Chen Xiao knew that someone would definitely be watching this room.

However, he didn’t know that Li Hui was out on a visit.

It was only after a few minutes that Li Hui returned to the Criminal Investigation Team, looking frustrated and weary.

As soon as he got back to the team, even before listening to the subordinate’s report, Gao Bo came over.

"How’s the investigation? Is there evidence to release Chen Xiao?"

Upon hearing this question, Li Hui looked even more sullen:

"No! And the villagers of Songshanping are resisting us!"

Gao Bo asked in confusion, "Resisting? What are they resisting?"

"Mr. Chen mentioned that many villagers witnessed his argument with the deceased last night. But when I went to Songshanping to ask, not a single person in the village admitted it!"

"They’re all making false testimonies for Mr. Chen!"
