Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Xiaoji Knife Man, Left Wife!

"What could be the reason Zuo Shu had to die?"

Inside the interrogation room.

Chen Xiao pondered over this question once more.

He currently had no information from the outside world.

But that didn’t stop Chen Xiao from contemplating this question.

Zuo Shu was once a renowned police officer within the force, and everyone thought that with his abilities, he should have a very bright future.

But unexpectedly, at a critical moment, Zuo Shu abandoned the police force to go into business.

This decision made Xie Wensheng’s father, the old Captain Xie Yan, extremely angry, thinking that Zuo Shu was wasting his talent and future.

However, after leaving the police force, Zuo Shu thrived in the business world.

With the help of his wife’s family, he quickly rose to fame in Shencheng City’s business circle as a real estate mogul in just over a decade, coming from a humble background.

Nobody could be certain whether Zuo Shu’s initial decision was correct or a mistake.

But if we consider Xie Yan’s life and then judge in terms of wealth, Zuo Shu’s choice might have been the right one.

After all, Xie Yan only reached the position of a criminal police captain in the end.

As for wealth, the two were incomparable.

However, all of Zuo Shu’s success came from his wife’s family.

Chen Xiao had never met Zuo Shu’s wife, but he had heard some rumors from Guo Qing before.

Guo Qing had high praise for Zuo Shu’s wife.

He said her abilities were only slightly inferior to Zuo Shu’s.

Moreover, without Zuo Shu’s wife, his rise would have been much slower.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but ponder deeply:

"Just the land at Yang Lake alone wouldn’t be enough for Zuo Shu to be abandoned by his wife’s family, let alone fall to such a tragic end."

"Zuo Shu must have done something else, something that might have touched a raw nerve with his wife’s family. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have ended this way."

"Now Xiaoxi is out there continuously investigating this case. Since Zuo Shu is a local of Shencheng City, Xiaoxi will definitely assign more people to understand the situation. So, if someone is to be sent to Shencheng City, the best choice would be Black Cat."

"She has special abilities, but her safety alone can’t be guaranteed, so Xiaoxi might arrange for Xiaoji to go with her, and finally have Guo Qing responsible for protection."

Thinking about it, Chen Xiao inexplicably thought of Xiaoji Knife Man.

When he envisioned the sunny smile on Xiaoji Knife Man’s face, he was momentarily stunned:

"Why did I think of Xiaoji Knife Man? In this group, he’s the one with no thoughts."

"With Black Cat and Xiaoji in Shencheng City, it should be easy to find some inside information about Zuo Shu’s company once we pinpoint the spot."

Chen Xiao thought, but soon became alert again:

"Wait, Xiaoji has always been by my side. If this matter is targeting me, then Xiaoji will be discovered by someone with intentions as soon as he reaches Shencheng City."

"That’s why I thought of Xiaoji Knife Man!"

Chen Xiao found a reason for thinking of Xiaoji Knife Man himself.

In his view, this reason was quite positive and not at all underhanded.

With this decision, Chen Xiao decided to send out this suggestion.

Some time later, Lin Xi, who was searching around the Lobster Base built by Chen Xiao, received a text message again.

On it were: "Xiaoji Knife Man, Zuo’s wife!"

Seeing these words, Lin Xi was utterly perplexed.

She even looked towards Xiaoji Knife Man and asked, "Do you know Zuo Shu’s wife?"

"I don’t know her, sis. Why do you ask?"

"Now, head over to Shencheng City and use your skills to get close to Zuo Shu’s wife, Qi Wei!"

Xiaoji Knife Man was stunned: "Huh? Why get close to Zuo Shu’s wife?"

"Investigate what exactly happened between Zuo Shu and Qi Wei’s family."

"It’s doable, but hasn’t Xiaoji and Black Cat already gone?"

"We don’t know enough about Zuo Shu, so even after Black Cat arrives, it might not be easy to execute the plan. Besides, I still lack a global perspective, so sending you as well is correct."

Lin Xi understood the content of the text message.

Liu Dayou then asked in confusion, "What about me? Don’t I need to go too?"

"You can’t go. You’re not Xiaodao."

Liu Dayou didn’t get it, but Xiaoji Knife Man seemed to be thoughtful and said:

"First, I need to ask Wensheng Brother before setting off, and also Wensheng Brother’s mother. I need to know more about them; they should know something about Qi Wei. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one approach better."

Lin Xi gave him a thumbs-up: "As expected, when it comes to matters relating to women, your mind sharpens instantly. Looks like Brother Chen wasn’t wrong about you."

Xiaoji Knife Man kept a serious face: "Sis, saying it like that makes me sound bad. I fight for justice!"

Liu Dayou kicked him directly: "Stop yacking and get on with it. Just thinking about Brother Chen not eating or sleeping well, my heart aches, and you’re here joking around."

"Liu Dayou... your flattery is really loud!"

After saying this, Xiaoji Knife Man quickly got out of the car and headed back to Dongzhou first.

Liu Dayou watched his swift figure, and couldn’t help but admire:

"Being young is indeed great."

Lin Xi said nothing.

But on second thought about the people around Chen Xiao, each one was indeed impressive.

Xiaoji: Once a hooligan, now almost Chen Xiao’s protégé.

Xiaoji Knife Man: Also a former hooligan, but now with a good build and ruggedly handsome, he’s like a full-fledged sister killer.

And Liu Dayou: Fortune-telling, feng shui craftsman.

Even Black Cat, a top hacker, was brought under Chen Xiao’s command.

Lin Xi dared not imagine what other kinds of brothers and friends Chen Xiao would meet in the future.

However, the more she thought about it, Lin Xi felt she was missing someone among Chen Xiao’s people.

But after wracking her brains, she couldn’t remember who that person was.

Lin Xi didn’t waste more time on such issues.

After wandering around the Lobster Base without any findings, she decided to call Old Chen.

She wanted Old Chen to lead her to walk through the places Zuo Shu had been.

Old Chen arrived quickly and, without asking too many questions, took Lin Xi around the Lobster Base.

However, every place Zuo Shu had been, Lin Xi observed carefully but found nothing else.

Seeing that twelve hours were about to pass.

Lin Xi reassured Old Chen and let him return home.

As soon as Old Chen left, Liang Yan finally called.

Lin Xi answered immediately, asking, "Sister Liang, how’s the situation?"

"I’ll send you a photo first, then you can see for yourself."

Liang Yan said while sending a photo via her phone.

Lin Xi opened it and saw it was taken by Liang Yan in her kitchen.

And it only showed the knife rack!

The knife rack had a complete set of knives, including chef’s, boning, slicing, and other kitchen knives.

No knife was missing, nor was there an extra one.

However, in the photo Liang Yan took, it was evident one knife was conspicuously clean!

After Lin Xi noticed, she couldn’t help but say solemnly: "Looks like this is the murder weapon!"
