Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 104: A Daoist

Guo Zhengchang, who was asked, remained silent for a long time.

It seemed as if the question was difficult to answer.

Stammering, Guo Zhengchang retorted, "What does my family’s villa have to do with this case?"

"Well, let me tell you, I suspect your granddaughter was used to conduct a ghost marriage for someone. Are you still sure there’s no connection?"

"What!"

Guo Zhengchang exclaimed again on the other end.

Chen Xiao glanced at the time and urged, "Elder Guo, I don’t have time to come to you now. I have a lot to do tonight, so I hope you leave nothing unsaid."

"The villa actually has nothing inside, it’s just an empty house."

Guo Zhengchang spoke out.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and replied, "That villa was the residence of your son and daughter-in-law, Guo Ning’s parents, before the incident. But after the incident, you had someone empty the villa, right?"

"Yes, I didn’t leave anything inside."

"Not only is there nothing left inside, but even in the villa where you and Guo Ning live, there is nothing related to your son and daughter-in-law! I’ve even reviewed all the videos and letters Guo Ning sent you, and none of them mention her parents!"

"What happened to her parents to make a girl like Guo Ning unwilling to mention them?"

Chen Xiao asked question after question.

Guo Zhengchang sighed deeply on the other end of the call, "Her parents didn’t love each other, and her mother didn’t like her either. Their marriage was stealing someone else’s love! So, she never wanted to talk about her parents. After their incident, I cleared away everything related to them and erased traces of them."

"Why would only her parents’ matters relate to her death!"

"Because Guo Ning saw what her mother truly thought in her heart!"

Guo Zhengchang suddenly fell silent, unsure if it was shock or some other reason.

Chen Xiao didn’t speak much more to him, only instructing Guo Zhengchang to send the found information over, then hurriedly hung up the phone.

After getting the information, Chen Xiao drove away from Xiaofeng Village as quickly as possible.

His destination was just one place, Nanqiao Town.

In this town, there was not only the pilot site of their household appliance rural project but also many residents.

Among them was a household with only one person, that was a Daoist!

The Daoist moved here many years ago, appearing as a young lad when he arrived.

But it was unknown where he learned the skills to preside over funerals. He went from initially being ignored to eventually becoming quite a renowned master in the surrounding towns.

However, that old Daoist fell ill and passed away in the first half of the year, and the house seemed unoccupied ever since.

Only on this night, the door of the old Daoist’s house was suddenly opened by someone.

The person entered quietly closed the door, and immediately saw the Daoist’s portrait in the main hall.

Before the portrait was an incense burner, with many incense sticks inside it, indicating that people often came here to pay tribute.

But the person who entered only glanced at it and immediately began searching.

He kept searching throughout the house and suddenly returned to the main hall, staring straight at the shelf where the portrait was placed.

Then, he walked step by step to the shelf, removed the portrait, and as he patted the wall, his eyes widened.

Just when he tried to touch the wall again, there was a knock at the door behind him.

"Knock, knock, knock... ."

"Old Lou, what are you looking for? Do you need my help to find it?"

Lou Yang was standing at the door, calmly looking at Lou Xiaodong.

The latter trembled all over hearing this, "You beast, tell me, what’s hidden in the secret compartment?"

Lou Yang’s expression remained unchanged, as he entered the main hall without closing the door, smiling and asking:

"Do you think what’s inside is important?"

"Of course it’s important. I need to know if it’s really you, this beast, who did it!"

Lou Yang finally furrowed his brow and asked one word at a time, "Then do you know who I am to you?"

"I... ."

Lou Xiaodong was about to speak, but Lou Yang already rushed over and grabbed him by the neck, pressing him hard against the wall.

Lou Xiaodong stared incredulously into Lou Yang’s increasingly reddening eyes, rasping, "You... are you going to kill me too?"

"If you still care about the slightest bit of familial blood relations, then you should know what you need to do." Lou Yang did not let go, but his voice grew even lower.

Lou Xiaodong gasped for breath, "You think if I spare you, Chen Xiao will spare you? He’s figured it out, he guessed it all!"

"Oh... he guessed it huh? But even if he guessed it, what can he do to me?"

"What can he do to you? Can you dare tell me what’s in the secret compartment!"

Lou Yang suddenly grinned, directly opening the secret compartment, then taking out a scroll from inside.

As the scroll was unfolded, Lou Xiaodong’s pupils widened bit by bit.

"So that’s it, so that’s it...!"

Lou Yang grinned, "Old Lou, that Chen Xiao is indeed impressive, but so what? All the skills I have were taught by you! Taught since I was a child!"

Lou Xiaodong shivered, "How did you become like this, how did it come to this!"

"Shut up!" Lou Yang suddenly roared.

"Don’t you really not know why I turned out like this? If it weren’t for your stupidity back then, how could Mom have left? If Mom hadn’t left, how could I have become a homeless orphan!"

"If it weren’t for the teacher giving me a bowl of rice, I would have died long ago, do you know?"

"Yes, you’re a policeman, you’re remarkable, you eliminate harm for the people! But what about me? Did you ever think about me?!"

Lou Yang’s words caused Lou Xiaodong to shed silent tears, but Lou Yang coldly sneered, "Don’t shed those disgusting tears in front of me, do you really think I called you dad to mend our relationship? I just wanted to use you as a stepping stone to get close to Chen Xiao!"

"However, he really surprised me, letting you come to find me first. But if he sent you, doesn’t that mean he has no better solution? Suspicions? Let him suspect, the court isn’t his family’s business."

"Moreover, Old Lou, I didn’t admit anything!

Lou Xiaodong closed his eyes in pain, "Xiao Yang, you’re underestimating him, underestimating police interrogation, underestimating the court trial!"

Lou Yang frowned again, "Stop telling me useless things, I’ll ask you just one question, how do you choose this time!"

"Son, surrender yourself! Whether it’s Chen Xiao or the police investigating before, even if Hu Yue suspects you, it’s useless for you to hide anywhere in this life!"

Lou Yang’s hand suddenly exerted strength.

Lou Xiaodong seemed to have given up struggling and stopped moving.

Lou Yang’s eyes were red, but in the end, he released his grip, rasping, "I really want to strangle you!"

Saying this, Lou Yang, all by himself, ignited the scroll. Lou Xiaodong, leaning against the shelf, breathed heavily.

As the scroll burned, the originally dim room became brighter.

Lou Yang faced away from the door, with indifferent eyes watching as the scroll burned away bit by bit.

In the light of the fire, he suddenly noticed a figure appearing on the glass of the shelf.

The figure just leaned against the doorframe, silently watching him.

Lou Yang turned abruptly, exclaiming in disbelief, "When did you come in!"
