Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 489: Chapter 489: The Reason He Had to Die!

"Hello, this is Hu Yue?"

"Hello Captain Hu, my name is Lin Xi, I’m Chen Xiao’s wife."

When Hu Yue received the call and saw it was from an unfamiliar number, he became a bit suspicious.

But seeing it was coming from Dongzhou, Hu Yue hesitated no more.

However, finding out it was Lin Xi, Hu Yue was somewhat surprised.

"Ah, it’s Ms. Lin... oh no, Chen Xiao seems to have mentioned, you are a police officer too, right?"

Hu Yue’s tone softened a bit.

"Captain Hu has a good memory, I am indeed a police officer."

"Alright, so what can I do for Officer Lin?"

Lin Xi replied: "There’s something I need to ask Captain Hu. Could you visit Yu Gui’s house in Xiaofeng Village? If possible, I’d also like to ask you to visit the site where the five victims of the Xiaofeng Village case were found."

"Hmm? What’s going on?"

Lin Xi contacting Hu Yue was already strange enough for Hu Yue.

But now asking him to visit the Xiaofeng Village crime scene was even more perplexing for him.

Lin Xi briefly explained the situation Chen Xiao was currently facing.

Hu Yue, upon hearing this, said incredulously:

"Is there still someone who’s so desperate to frame Chen Xiao? Don’t they know who he is?"

Hu Yue’s words made Lin Xi smile wryly.

"It’s just a precaution. Being too well informed can often lead to targeted troubles for the person, the more capable they are, the bigger the problem."

"Alright, I’ll head out to Xiaofeng Village in a bit. However, is there anything specific I should be aware of?"

"No, because I also don’t know if there’s anything or what it might be. I can only ask Captain Hu to find out with a detective’s eye."

"No problem, if you get to see Chen Xiao, please say hello for me. I think once the questioning time passes, he should be able to come out. But whether he can come out or not depends on whether he wants to."

After Lin Xi thanked him with a smile, she hung up the phone first.

She could feel the admiration and trust people who’ve been in contact with Chen Xiao had for him.

In those people’s hearts, no one was capable of framing Chen Xiao.

She believed so too!

No one could truly threaten her husband!

After contacting Hu Yue, Lin Xi also made a call to Liang Yan.

Similarly, she asked her to visit her and Chen Xiao’s home from a detective’s perspective.

After finishing Liang Yan’s call, Lin Xi put down her phone and looked at the foot of the mountain, silently thinking:

"Hubby, what exactly is your backup plan? You mentioned being prepared on the phone, but where is your preparation?"

"You are a detective, a creator of the Songshanping Lobster Base and the Dongzhou Food Street. Also one of the executives of Shencheng City Dragon Cauldron Group, now Dai Hong’Er is studying abroad according to your request, Dongzhou’s factory is also under construction."

"Moreover, the household appliance initiative was your strategy that sparked a nationwide trend. Zuo Shu was targeting your business, but what preparations could you have in these areas?"

Thinking, Lin Xi felt a little puzzled.

But all of a sudden, she thought of something:

"No, only Dong’an truly belongs to you alone! You regard me and our parents as more important than yourself, so after Dong’an was founded, the first thing was to implement security and protection for our wedding house and our parents’ residence!"

"I understand now!"

At this moment, a smile finally appeared on Lin Xi’s face.

Liu Dayou and Xiaoji Knife Man saw this and couldn’t help but ask:

"Sister-in-law, is there good news?"

Lin Xi replied: "I thought of some of your Brother Chen’s strategies, now I feel a bit more at ease."

"Saying that, but how should we handle this piece of fabric?" Liu Dayou asked.

Without hesitation, Lin Xi replied: "Xiaoji Knife Man, report to the police, let the task force come and retrieve this piece of fabric personally."

"What? Wouldn’t this directly impact Brother Chen?"

"Would you rather have us, knowing the law, destroy evidence?" Lin Xi retorted.

Xiaoji Knife Man chuckled awkwardly: "I was just saying, if we destroy this kind of ploy, it would just make things more troublesome for Brother Chen."

Lin Xi nodded, and Xiaoji Knife Man went to make a call to report to the police.

But at this moment, Liu Dayou suddenly asked:

"Sister-in-law, if this is evidence posing a deadly threat to Brother Chen, would we still do this?"

This was simply a question from the soul, no... not just a question from the soul, but a probing of Lin Xi’s profession and principles.

After asking, Liu Dayou also felt a bit guilty for bringing it up.

How could he ask such a question at this time?

But to his surprise, Lin Xi wasn’t concerned and answered:

"I am also human, a woman who greatly depends on her husband."

Speaking, Lin Xi took a breath and said:

"Ever since your Brother Chen returned to the state I yearned for, I firmly believed all the world’s darkness and evil had nothing to do with him. If there had to be a connection, then your Brother Chen is absolutely the one to break that darkness and evil!"

At this moment, Liu Dayou admitted he was envious.

Envious that Chen Xiao could have such an unshakable wife.

Unconsciously, a figure also appeared in his mind, and he grinned.

Lin Xi noticed his change, and calmly asked:

"Did Captain Pan say she wanted to come along?"

"She insisted on coming, but luckily I held her back!"

Liu Dayou blurted out instinctively, and Lin Xi couldn’t help but laugh:

"Wow, progress seems quick on this front."

Liu Dayou’s face turned red immediately: "What progress? Quick in what? Sister-in-law and Brother Chen are both too smart, your words are always indecipherable!"

Lin Xi was also too lazy to expose him.

Before long, Zhang Xian arrived to collect the evidence.

He and Lin Xi didn’t talk much, exchanging only a few brief words, then Lin Xi left with Liu Dayou and Xiaoji Knife Man.

After getting away from Niu Shou Mountain, Xiaoji Knife Man curiously asked:

"Sister-in-law, what do you think Brother Chen is doing now?"

"He should be thinking about Zuo Shu’s matter."

"Then if Brother Chen comes out, will he be able to catch the culprit?"

"If he comes out by evening, it means he hasn’t come up with a plan. But if he stays inside, it means he’s figured something out!"

Xiaoji Knife Man listened, somewhat confused, shook his head, then said:

"So what do we do now?"

"Just follow your Brother Chen’s instructions, and carry on as planned."

Lin Xi replied, then glanced at her phone and said quietly:

"By the looks of it, there should be news from Shencheng City soon, and the victims’ identities should also be confirmed."

"Could it be the dead person isn’t Zuo Shu?" Liu Dayou asked.

Lin Xi shook her head: "If this plan is aimed at your Brother Chen, then Zuo Shu must die. Only by his death can Chen Xiao be driven into the current predicament!"

"And if that’s the case, then Zuo Shu certainly had an unavoidable reason to die within his circle!"
