Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Three Times, No Divination!

The whole village is helping Chen Xiao make false testimonies?

Upon hearing this news.

Gao Bo, the director of Lanshan County Bureau, was stunned.

He was, of course, aware of Chen Xiao’s reputation in Songshanping and even the entire Songtan Town.

Because the Lobster Base is within the boundaries of Songtan Town.

This base not only solved the dilemma of many people’s unemployment but also provided many favorable conditions for support.

Many people were grateful for Chen Xiao’s help.

So much so that someone even proposed the idea of erecting a monument for Chen Xiao.

But even Chen Xiao himself probably didn’t expect that the villagers would unanimously provide false testimonies for him at this time.

Gao Bo opened Li Hui’s external visit records in Songshanping.

Almost everyone was saying the same thing.

Police: "Did you see Chen Xiao have a conflict with someone last night?"

Villager 1: "What? Did Chen Xiao come back last night? I haven’t heard about it!"

Police: "Did you hear anything when Chen Xiao had a conflict with someone?"

Villager 2: "Didn’t hear a thing, I was born with poor hearing, my wife always likes to scold me as a deaf man for no reason!"

Police: "You’re Chen Xiao’s neighbor, you knew he returned last night, right?"

Neighbor: "Yes, I did. He even greeted me and gave me some cigarettes."

"Then when he had a conflict with someone last night, did you see him kick that person?"

"Didn’t see or hear about it. After Chen Xiao gave me a cigarette, I went home happily and enjoyed it. I must say, good smoke is really satisfying, after a couple of puffs I fell asleep!"

Li Hui and Chen Xiao were also acquaintances.

Deep down, he admired Chen Xiao even more.

But seeing Gao Bo looking at those records, he could only smile wryly and say:

"Director Gao, you saw it, didn’t you? It’s beyond absurdity, absurdity to the max!"

Gao Bo closed the records:

"Destroy these records; they don’t help and only cause trouble."

Li Hui also put on a serious face, nodding: "I understand, but Director Gao, how should we proceed with this case?"

"First collect traces and keep them well. The city has already called me, they have set up a special task force, led by Vice Director Zhang from Hongshan Branch to investigate this case."

"Vice Director Zhang? Isn’t he in Songshanping? And his relationship with Mr. Chen..."

"Maybe it’s precisely because of their relationship that this case was assigned to Zhang Xian."

As Gao Bo spoke, Li Hui said no more.

Regarding Chen Xiao’s case, for Li Hui, it was simply a hot potato.

So now with Zhang Xian taking over the investigation, he was happy to be relieved.

Meanwhile, at Chen Xiao’s home in Songshanping.

Zhang Xian also left as soon as he received a call from his superiors.

Once he left, Lin Xi also asked Xie Wensheng and Wu Liuxian to return to Dongzhou.

As for Songshanping, with her, Xiaoji Knife Man, and Liu Dayou here, there shouldn’t be any major issues.

Just when everyone had gone, Lin Xi looked at Liu Dayou and said;

"Dayou, your Brother Chen always said your divination skills are impressive. I’ve never seen it before, why don’t you do a divination for him?"

Liu Dayou nodded: "Sure!"

Saying this, Liu Dayou first went to cleanse his hands.

After drying his hands thoroughly, Liu Dayou took out his old turtle shell that he carried with him.

Lin Xi and Xiaoji Knife Man watched earnestly as Liu Dayou muttered and shook, listening to the clatter of copper coins inside the turtle shell.

Soon, the copper coins inside the turtle shell fell out.

Lin Xi instinctively grew anxious and asked, "What divination?"

Liu Dayou didn’t reply, but quietly observed the hexagram.

Realizing her impatience, Lin Xi could only wait quietly by the side.

Finally, after studying for a few minutes, Liu Dayou frowned tightly.

Seeing this, Xiaoji Knife Man couldn’t help but grow anxious too: "It’s been so long, why don’t you say something!"

Liu Dayou, frowning, said: "No hexagram."

"What does it mean?" Lin Xi asked.

Liu Dayou thought for a moment and said: "My skills are limited, I’ll try again!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi understood what Liu Dayou meant.

So-called no hexagram meant that the few copper coins that fell out didn’t form any hexagram.

Chen Xiao had also mentioned to Lin Xi that Liu Dayou’s level was sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes right, sometimes wrong.

So she wasn’t anxious, waiting for Liu Dayou to perform another divination.

But when the copper coins fell again, even Lin Xi couldn’t help but say:

"This looks exactly the same as before, right?"

Liu Dayou awkwardly scratched his head: "Sister-in-law, even you can tell, let me try again!"

Saying this, Liu Dayou’s face showed some defiance.

But when he shook out the copper coins again, he was shocked to find that the result was still the same as before!

Liu Dayou was dumbfounded!

"How can this be! I’ve done divinations for Brother Chen before, and I’ve never had three consecutive times with no hexagram like today!"

Lin Xi did not blame Liu Dayou; instead, she said to him:

"Alright, since the hexagram doesn’t show anything, let’s do our best instead of looking at fate."

Liu Dayou, frustrated, collected the copper coins one by one.

Xiaoji Knife Man didn’t say anything to Liu Dayou, but instead looked at Lin Xi with slight apology:

"Sister-in-law, you know my mind doesn’t work fast, but if there’s anything you need me to do, just let me know immediately."

"Alright, you all must be tired too, take a rest first."

At this moment, Lin Xi actually didn’t have many thoughts.

She quietly went to the room of Chen Xiao’s parents and started a conversation with them.

Time passed second by second.

Until then, Lin Xi received a message from an unfamiliar number on her phone:

"Pay attention to car traces, pay attention to the environment!"

Seeing these four words, Lin Xi immediately became energized.

Knowing very well whose number it was, after quietly putting away her phone, she said to Mr. and Mrs. Chen:

"Mom, Dad, I need to go out, you don’t need to worry too much at home."

"Go ahead, we won’t be able to help even if we worry, don’t mind us, focus on the case!"

Mr. and Mrs. Chen were very sensible about this.

They didn’t rush their daughter-in-law nor did they go to the police to add trouble for Chen Xiao.

They just quietly stayed at home, waiting for news.

Lin Xi took Xiaoji Knife Man and Liu Dayou and drove to Niu Shou Mountain, less than three kilometers away.

At the foot of Niu Shou Mountain was a cement road leading to Songtan Town and Lanshan County.

For almost everyone in Songshanping, this was the route to the county town.

As they neared the crime scene, Lin Xi paid attention to the brake marks on the road.

But all the way to the crime scene, there were no obvious brake marks.

Such a discovery made Lin Xi couldn’t help but be surprised.

As an excellent detective, this kind of anomaly made it easy for Lin Xi to connect the dots.

She couldn’t help but glance at the surrounding geographical location, then opened the car door and got out.

Seeing this, Liu Dayou and Xiaoji Knife Man couldn’t help but ask: "Sister-in-law, where are you going?"

But Lin Xi did not answer, just walked towards a path up Niu Shou Mountain!
