Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 107: A Catastrophically Massive Disaster
Exiting the main hall.
Chen Xiao saw the forlorn Lou Xiaodong.
However, Chen Xiao didn’t approach, just watched quietly.
Before long, Hu Yue’s men brought out Lou Yang in custody.
As they passed by Chen Xiao, Lou Yang stopped.
"Your drawing looks just like me, you’ve really opened my eyes. I never thought someone could solve a case with a portrait!"
With that, Lou Yang sighed again: "It’s just a pity that the only portrait given to me can’t be kept with me forever."
Chen Xiao glanced at Hu Yue at the back of the team, naturally understanding Lou Yang’s meaning.
About to serve his sentence, Lou Yang couldn’t carry any belongings, not even a piece of paper.
Presumably, the portrait would finally be taken by the police, and unless intentionally, no one would see it again.
Chen Xiao didn’t mind, looked at Lou Yang, and asked, "So, have you made your choice?"
Lou Yang nodded silently, and when he saw Lou Xiaodong trembling towards him, he turned his head aside.
Even until this moment, Lou Yang had no intention of forgiving Lou Xiaodong.
This was very harsh for Lou Xiaodong.
As an onlooker, Chen Xiao also thought father and son shouldn’t be like this.
But an onlooker is just an onlooker, no one has experienced what Lou Yang has, so naturally, they cannot empathize.
Lou Xiaodong wanted to say a few words, but Lou Yang disgustedly looked at Hu Yue: "Captain Hu, how long are you going to drag this out? You’re so slow at solving the case and arresting people?"
Hu Yue’s face immediately turned green with anger and stuffed Lou Yang into the car.
The police car sped away, and Lou Xiaodong just silently followed behind.
Chen Xiao didn’t go back to Qingxi; he took out his phone and called Guo Zhengchang.
"Old gentleman, Lou Yang has decided to plead guilty. I’ve completed the commission from you and Guo Qing."
On the phone, Guo Zhengchang was overjoyed and said chokingly, "Good, thank you, Mr. Xiaochen!"
"It’s my duty. If you want to know what happened, you can go to the Qingxi City Bureau. I’ll take a break now."
"Alright."
The call was hurriedly hung up, but Chen Xiao didn’t put down his phone.
Walking towards the base point, he called Lin Xi.
"Hi, my dear man, did you miss me?"
Lin Xi was always particularly happy to receive his call.
Chen Xiao chuckled: "Yes, dear, I just want to hug you and sleep soundly."
"Come on, just sleep, don’t use words like ’soundly.’ But from your tone, you sound relaxed, let me guess... ."
"The case... ."
"Ah, you’re so annoying, I told you to let me guess, don’t say it out loud!"
Chen Xiao gave a wry smile, and Lin Xi giggled: "The case must be solved, right?"
"Yes, dear, you’re amazing!"
"Hehe... stop it, just a pity... ."
Chen Xiao was puzzled: "Pity what?"
"It’s a pity that I’ve already gone home after work. If I were at the office now, I would definitely run to Captain Zhang and tell him you solved the case!"
Lin Xi might have imagined the scene and laughed heartily.
"Captain Zhang has helped me a lot, you can’t do that. After all, he is your boss."
"Oh, actually, Captain Zhang is very concerned about the case. Every time he sees me, he wants to ask about your progress, but then he doesn’t say anything."
"Well, I’ll give him a call then. He gave me a book of his insights from his investigation, which helped me a lot."
"Then you should call him, and when you come back, we’ll treat him to a nice meal."
Chen Xiao acknowledged, then called Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian answered almost instantly.
"You’ve been gone so many days and suddenly call, the case is solved?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Just caught the culprit, and he has confessed."
"Damn... I knew you could do it! Indeed, you really solved it, and it only took a few days!"
Chen Xiao replied: "I’ve been in Nanqiao Town for about three days."
"Damn... you really have no awareness. Originally, I and the task force were there for over half a month and only found a little. Now you tell me three days, ah... do you even know my position? Do you know your wife works under me!"
Zhang Xian laughed and joked, while Chen Xiao earnestly said, "That notebook of yours was a big help to me."
"That’s more like it, finally acknowledging some credit for me. By the way, did you use that ’Killing Notes’?"
If Zhang Xian hadn’t mentioned it, Chen Xiao might have really forgotten about the ’Killing Notes.’
"I’ve been busy investigating since I arrived; I think I forgot about it," Chen Xiao replied.
Zhang Xian said, "Do you want to keep that notebook, or bring it back to the team?"
"Leave it at the team; I’ve read a lot of the content, all are cases. Each step is closely linked, really impressive, and it can help investigators understand more about murderers. However, the content on the notebook might just be fictional."
As Chen Xiao said this, Zhang Xian responded, "Do you also think it’s fictional?"
"If it weren’t, you wouldn’t have let any of the cases in it go, right? Even if he was that perfect, after so long, something would have surfaced."
"You’re right, let’s not talk about that notebook. Tell me, how did you crack the case?"
Zhang Xian anticipated, so Chen Xiao recounted the investigation process.
After listening, Zhang Xian thought for a moment, then praised: "Remarkable! If you hadn’t chosen to converse with Lou Yang and gradually broke down his psychological defenses, even if the police caught the suspect, they would have had to wrangle with him for a long time."
"His initial plan was just that, relying on not exposing any evidence, thus wrangling with the police. But the corresponding deposit records with Qin Zhao, as well as his, Guo Ning’s, the old Daoist’s, and Guo Ning’s mother’s relationships, those two points are enough to stop him cold."
"His father was a policeman, and he learned some investigation knowledge from him since he was young. So actually, he understood the police’s tactics for dealing with suspects better than anyone. All resistance would eventually be crushed, just a futile struggle."
Zhang Xian responded, "Speaking of which, in our line of work, whether someone learns the detective skills or has a natural talent, once they use the weapon meant to uphold the law to fight against it, it’s a disaster, a massively huge disaster."
Chen Xiao agreed with Zhang Xian’s words.
If Lou Yang hadn’t had Lou Xiaodong, a father who used to be a policeman, perhaps he couldn’t have committed such a crime.
But now, those words were in the past, Chen Xiao talked a bit more with Zhang Xian before going back to the base point.
After they said goodbye, Chen Xiao finally put away his phone and opened the door.
The sound of the door opening startled the people inside. Luo Dali and Xiaoji Knife Man immediately rushed out of the room.
Seeing it was Chen Xiao, Luo Dali sighed in relief: "Brother Chen, weren’t you on night duty? Why are you back now?"
"I went with the police to capture the suspect, just finished now."
Upon hearing this, all three of Luo Dali exclaimed "ah."
"Wow, the suspect was caught? Brother Chen, tell us, who is it?" Luo Dali asked.
Chen Xiao looked at him and replied, "Your newly made good brother, the super cool Lou Yang in your eyes."
