Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 134: He Wants to Challenge the Two of Us Alone!
After receiving a phone call, Chen Xiao left Liu Jialing with Luo Dali.
Along the way, Chen Xiao did not further explain anything to Luo Dali.
Luo Dali was well aware of the current situation; Chen Xiao actually wanted to take a gamble.
The case itself is not a major one.
Even those involved in Xiao Diandian’s murder, except for Zhou Zhiyu, won’t face heavy sentences.
Chen Xiao is clear about this, and now Luo Dali understands too, and the police including Hu Yue are even more aware.
Even though there’s a sense of unwillingness, if indeed they could lure out Chen Yan.
Perhaps that would balance everything.
Once Chen Yan is found, it would be difficult for him to escape others’ sight again.
These cases are minor.
Things narrowly considered aren’t significant events.
But for some reason, the closer Chen Xiao got to Xiaofeng Village, the more excited he felt.
He felt that whether it was Zhao Xiaohong being killed, or the Swallow Lane fish bone case, or the Xiaofeng Village college student murder case, they all paled in comparison to the momentum of Xiao Diandian’s disappearance.
Because the whole incident is filled with the scent of "You plot against me, I plot against you. You must become my knife, but I will never be the wielder!"
Finally, Xiaofeng Village arrived.
The villagers were all awakened by the commotion that night.
The village was filled with flashing police lights and officers searching everywhere.
There was also an ambulance parked right in front of Yu Gui’s house.
Seeing the ambulance, Luo Dali’s expression tightened involuntarily.
Chen Xiao said in a deep voice, "Why panic? Everything is within the plan. Few know, and those who don’t know panic, understand?"
Luo Dali nodded, Xiaoji and the Xiaoji Knife Man had already run over by that time.
Xiaoji: "Brother Chen, why are you only here now? Something big has happened!"
Chen Xiao acknowledged: "I know, Lou Yang escaped from prison. He came to seek revenge on Yu Gui’s parents, right? Uncle Yu and Auntie, how are they?"
"The police have sealed off the area, and no one knows what happened inside, only that there was a lot of blood in the house. Yu Gui’s parents should be on the ambulance."
The words were barely spoken when the ambulance drove away from Xiaofeng Village with urgency.
Luo Dali glanced at Chen Xiao in confusion, as if asking, "Brother Chen, aren’t we taking action yet?"
Chen Xiao returned with a glance: "Are you stupid? Do you think Chen Yan is foolish enough to watch Lou Yang commit a crime here?"
"Where should he go then?" Luo Dali once again cast an uncomprehending look.
However, Chen Xiao didn’t offer any explanation but walked into Yu Gui’s house.
The crowd around noticed Chen Xiao’s presence and a cheer arose:
"Look, Mr. Chen has finally arrived!"
"That’s great! As long as Mr. Chen is here, he can certainly catch Lou Yang, that murderer, once again!"
"Yes, Hu Yue and his team really don’t know what they are doing. They sent a criminal to prison and still managed to let him escape. After this incident, they definitely have to be stripped of their positions!"
Listening to the villagers cursing Hu Yue, Chen Xiao walked into the house.
Hu Yue had already arrived ahead, and upon seeing Chen Xiao, he smiled bitterly, "I’m wrongly blamed for this mess."
Chen Xiao was also somewhat embarrassed: "Captain Hu will have his innocence proven. But is everything proceeding as we planned on site?"
"Yes, Lou Yang wouldn’t mess up on this matter. Plus, your understanding of his psychology is precise. He was initially resistant, believing that even if he made great contributions, he’d be doomed. But as soon as you mentioned Xiao Diandian, he resonated."
"So without hesitating for more than three seconds, he took on this task."
"Was there any loophole in the escape process?"
"The entire escape process was as per your plan and had my teacher involved. Only he could make people believe Lou Yang truly escaped."
"That’s good." Chen Xiao replied, but shortly after, a flicker of concern appeared in Hu Yue’s eyes.
Chen Xiao asked, "Is there any other issue?"
"I’m a bit worried about Lou Yang. After hearing your entire plan, he became very excited," Hu Yue said.
Chen Xiao was not surprised: "An inner demon resides within him; now you’re letting him lure out possibly another demon. How could he not be excited?"
"It’s not just that; after my teacher rescued him, he said there was an aggression in Lou Yang’s gaze, along with his excitement. Plus, before he left, he left you a message."
Chen Xiao got interested: "What message?"
"He said for you to be prepared."
Chen Xiao’s eyes narrowed: "Wow, seems like he wants a solo challenge with us two Chens."
Hu Yue grew more worried: "He won’t create any incidents, will he?"
"There will be incidents, but he wouldn’t be stupid enough to cause casualties. Right now, casualties hold no meaning for him. He is the only one in control."
Hu Yue was confused: "What control?"
"Simple, he’s running, escaping, and is crazy. But wherever he flees, he has choices. For Chen Yan, who’s interested in him, he must deduce Lou Yang’s whereabouts."
Hu Yue understood: "Then why didn’t you plan the location beforehand?"
"This location can’t be planned. Once set, it’ll give an overly smooth feeling, much like when I investigated Xiao Diandian’s disappearance. If Chen Yan indeed wrote that notebook, he’d immediately flee, leaving us no chance to pursue him."
Hu Yue realized: "So you don’t know where Lou Yang would go?"
"I don’t."
Chen Xiao replied straightforwardly, but that comment worried Hu Yue.
Luckily he was now genuinely stimulated and, unlike before, began to seriously ponder.
"Chen Yan is contemplating Lou Yang’s location, as are we, and Lou Yang needs to choose a place you and Chen Yan might think of. But that place can’t be easily found, so the clues must be hidden."
Listening to Hu Yue’s analysis, Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up: "Well done, Captain Hu! Please continue analyzing the hidden clues!"
"Don’t kid me; you must have already thought about it."
Chen Xiao seriously shook his head: "I haven’t, I’m serious now."
Hu Yue was amazed: "Really?"
"Truly haven’t thought about it."
"Then, I’ll share my thoughts; your plan essentially sets a trap for two people: Yang Ziping and Chen Yan. You want to lure them both. But Yang Ziping is now guarded by county comrades; escaping and smoothly maneuvering is as hard as reaching the sky!"
"So I think you intentionally crafted the illusion of Xiao Diandian being taken by Lou Yang, to enable Lou Yang to take her to see her mom. Lou Yang could likely do this, as his tragic childhood drives him to spare Xiao Diandian from suffering. Thus, Chen Yan could possibly bet on his mindset!"
Chen Xiao squinted his eyes, held his thumb up: "Captain Hu, you got it!"
Hu Yue rejoiced, but before he could continue, Chen Xiao immediately followed: "But you’re also wrong."
"Eh, wrong?"
"Let me ask you, overlooking Lou Yang’s criminal identity, what’s his characteristic?"
"He divides grievances sharply, too extremely. The old Daoist gave him a bowl of rice; he repaid in full as an adult. Ultimately, with Guo Ning’s sudden appearance, he learned of the old Daoist’s ancient grievances and, driven by imbalance and the old Daoist’s death, became utterly crazed and a murderous demon."
"Indeed, extremely distinct grievances; anyone learning the truth should know this about Lou Yang. But I’ll ask again, what’s his current state?"
"Fugitive state."
"Since fleeing, will he sympathetically take Xiao Diandian to Yang Ziping?"
"That... ."
Before Hu Yue could process, Chen Xiao assertively said, "He wouldn’t. His urgent matter now is to leave Qingxi. But his excessively distinct grievances mean he’s most likely to go to bid farewell to a deceased person before leaving Qingxi!"
"His hidden clue is his entire being! He wants to challenge me and Chen Yan, to see if we thoroughly understand him!"
Finishing, Chen Xiao quickly walked out of Yu Gui’s house, then drove away swiftly.
