Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 387: A Woman? Sacred Heart Church?

Wu Guansheng furrowed his brow tightly.

His eyes full of annoyance as he looked at Chen Xiao.

But his annoyance wasn’t directed at Chen Xiao, rather at his own choices.

He instinctively reached into the pocket of his clothing.

Pan Huiping immediately grew alert and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

Chen Xiao shook his head, signaling Pan Huiping not to be so tense.

At this moment Wu Guansheng took out a phone from his pocket and opened a call record.

"The reason I dug so many holes actually has to do with this phone call."

"Whose call?"

"I don’t know her."

"Which her?"

"A woman! She told me many operations over the phone, and I ultimately chose to trust her and exchanged Zheng Xiang’s remains, bringing them back home to prepare to make them into dominoes."

On hearing this, Chen Xiao’s eyes couldn’t help but show surprise.

After pondering for a few seconds, Chen Xiao pursued, "Was it after the family tracing report?"

"Yes, it should have been around the fifth or sixth day. I also had suspicions about her. I think she probably noticed my tracking while observing Wang Hao Sisters, so she made this call to me."

"During the call, she also proposed the notes. But now, you’re telling me this, I feel like I’m the one who fell into a trap!"

Wu Guansheng annoyedly clenched his fist and slammed it against the table.

But soon, he noticed Chen Xiao looking at him with disbelief:

"A woman, how could it be a woman?"

As Chen Xiao spoke, he redialed the number.

But obviously, it must be unable to connect now.

Listening to the message indicating the number is unavailable, Chen Xiao’s eyes grew somber as he asked Wu Guansheng:

"Did she only make this one call to you?"

"Yes."

"Then, for someone as cautious as you, why did you trust her? Were you not afraid she might have evidence against you...?"

Before finishing his sentence, Chen Xiao pulled back.

There was no need to say this because when Wu Guansheng was discovered, someone had already had evidence against him.

But who had evidence against him?

Why were they so knowledgeable about the cases Chen Xiao solved?

Who knew about both Zhao Xiaohong’s murder case and Chen Xianzu’s case?

Chen Xiao thought seriously for a moment, the only ones who would pay such close attention to him besides those around him were members of one group.

Chen Yan!

But since when was Chen Yan a woman?

It’s not that Chen Xiao insisted Chen Yan must be a man.

He already believed Chen Yan might no longer be an individual but more of an organization.

Through multiple encounters, Chen Xiao roughly grasped the characteristics of "Chen Yan."

They seem particularly keen on murderers.

The Qingxi Chen Yan who appeared for Lou Yang previously.

And now a female Chen Yan contacting Wu Guansheng!

But even focusing on him, Chen Yan couldn’t possibly know so many details, right?

Especially the detail about Chen Xianzu taking Wan De’s bones to make dominoes!

Could it be someone leaked the case details?

Chen Xiao couldn’t help but think of one person.

Chen Xiao’s hometown, Lanshan County Bureau Criminal Investigation Team Leader—Li Hui.

When Chen Xianzu’s father, Chen Yuan, was crushed to death by a stone lion, and the skull was later discovered within the stone lion, it was Li Hui who investigated with him.

Afterward, it was also Li Hui who personally went to Xiangdu to escort Chen Xianzu back to Dongzhou.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao took out his phone and said to Pan Huiping:

"I’m going to make a call."

Pan Huiping nodded, and just as Chen Xiao was about to dial Li Hui’s number, he ended up calling Zhang Xian at the last moment.

"Hello, Director Zhang busy?"

Chen Xiao’s tone was very formal, prompting Zhang Xian to respond seriously:

"Not busy, what’s the matter? Surely nothing happened!"

"The case has been solved."

"Ah? Then why are you so serious, did something happen to Xiaopan?"

Director Zhang was very concerned.

After Chen Xiao said no, he told him everything about the case.

After listening, Director Zhang was astonished and said, "A woman? You suspect it’s Chen Yan?"

"Yes, besides Chen Yan, I don’t know anyone else who pays such close attention to murderers and even uses details from my previous cases to trip up the police. The key is that those details were already planned before I arrived."

"So now I suspect, when Chen Xianzu and Chen Ding’s murder case happened, was there already a leak of the case details? Or is it that within Lanshan County, even the details are known to many people?"

Director Zhang didn’t reply immediately.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I understand what you mean, you want to find me to inquire about Li Hui, who was in charge of handling the case afterward, right?"

"Yes!"

"Hmm, I am somewhat familiar with Li Hui. He has a decent ability, and throughout his policing career, he has maintained his principles. Logically, he shouldn’t be doing such things. Of course, that case is still being talked about in Lanshan County, so it’s possible those details have become publicly known."

Director Zhang made a good point.

Many cases, especially major ones, tend to have rumors spread among the public.

And, a case that has been successfully solved and doesn’t involve any confidential information that can’t be disclosed.

If people know the details, it doesn’t seem to matter much.

After Director Zhang said this, Chen Xiao’s mood lightened quite a bit.

Director Zhang then spoke, "I’ve never given up on investigating Chen Yan, rest assured on this. Moreover, we should be quite clear by now, it must be an organization either hidden very well or not widely known."

"Once they actively commit crimes, then within the Dongzhou scope, they will inevitably be exposed immediately! Once they’re exposed, I will seize them by the roots!"

Director Zhang also remembered Chen Yan deeply, so he, like Chen Xiao, wanted to find the real Chen Yan.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "That’s it, with your assurance I don’t need to worry too much."

"I don’t think you’re worried, rather you seem quite expectant." Director Zhang said with meaningful intention.

Chen Xiao chuckled noncommittally: "To be precise, the expectation is mostly driven by curiosity."

Then, Chen Xiao changed the subject: "Alright, let’s not talk more about it. The case is solved; you have to ask your wife to prepare, last night we said we’d come to your house for dinner."

"Haha, I’ll make sure there’s a big table for you guys, ensuring you eat well and drink well!"

The call finished with laughter from both sides.

But after the call ended, the smile on Chen Xiao’s face gradually faded.

He quietly watched the sky, mind unknowingly wandering.

Until Pan Huiping came over and asked, "Didn’t you finish the call? Why are you still daydreaming here?"

"I’m thinking about a strange organization that appeared in the Leigong Mountain case."

Pan Huiping frowned, then squinted and said: "You mean the Sacred Heart Church?"
