Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 157: When Pigs Sing, You Know It’s Absurd!

Chen Ding was very doubtful whether there was a problem with his ears.

His father was dead.

He was crushed to death yesterday morning.

It's not even forty-eight hours yet, to be precise, not even thirty hours have passed.

As a son, he never considered what inheritance or savings his father might have left him.

But his cousin, at this time, was already thinking about it!

But so what if he's thinking about it?

Even if there's only a dime inside, could it still be given to him?

Chen Ding stared blankly at Chen Xiao, and seeing him pulling his arm, he belatedly responded.

Could it be that there really is something fishy in his old father's account?

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Ding came to his senses and followed Chen Xiao outside.

Out of the questioning room, the two split up.

Chen Ding went home to find the passbook.

Chen Xiao went to the police to get documents, otherwise, they would definitely face a lot of trouble at the bank later.

Thankfully, dealing with such matters wasn't difficult for him now, and he quickly got the documents. With the police's cooperation request, the bank would naturally cooperate actively to thoroughly investigate!

At this time, Chen Ding also returned.

But upon seeing him again, he noticed two slap marks on Chen Ding's face.

Chen Xiao curiously asked, "What happened?"

"Got slapped by my mom. I just asked where dad's passbook and bank card were, and without asking for any reason, she just gave me two slaps."

Chen Ding was very depressed.

Chen Xiao was somewhat embarrassed.

But the matter at hand was urgent, so Chen Xiao didn't say much and drove straight to the town's bank.

At this time, there were only three banking institutions in the town.

One Agricultural Bank, one Postal Savings, and the other a credit union.

Chen Yuan had both a bank card and a passbook, all with the Agricultural Bank.

When they walked into the bank, Li Hui had already contacted his superior and notified the bank.

The bank manager immediately took them to the lounge and then went with the documents to check the transactions.

There wasn't much money in the passbook, and it was a recently changed passbook, so there weren't many transaction records visible on it.

But as long as the bank was willing to check, transactions over the past ten-plus years could be easily traced.

Unlike mobile payments nowadays, if one habitually paid with a bank card, the transactions could be quite overwhelming.

The bank manager took a considerable amount of time, and when he returned, he had already retrieved the transaction records.

Chen Xiao looked at part of them, and Chen Ding was looking at another part.

But it didn't take long before Chen Ding suddenly shouted, "Who is this Lu Yuling, damn it... Why did my dad transfer 200,000 to her in 1995? That emptied out all his savings!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao snatched the paper from Chen Ding's hand.

Indeed, it clearly showed a remittance entry.

It was a record of Chen Yuan transferring 200,000 to a person named Lu Yuling.

1995, 200,000!

This amount of money wasn't trivial even for Chen Yuan's family back then.

Moreover, from Chen Ding's tone, he didn't know who that Lu Yuling was at all.

And the name likely suggested it was a woman.

"Are you sure you don't recall anyone named Lu Yuling?" Chen Xiao asked.

Chen Ding confidently nodded and said, "I'm sure, I've never even heard my dad mention this person. Wait a sec, I'll call my mom to ask."

With that, Chen Ding called his mother.

As expected, Chen Ding's mother, Kong Mei, exploded when she heard about Lu Yuling and the 200,000.

"What 200,000! Lu Yuling? That sounds like a woman's name!"

"So, mom, you don't know either?"

"If I knew, would the 200,000 have been transferred?"

Chen Ding didn't want to say more, so he hung up the phone directly and ignored any subsequent calls from his mom.

"Even my mom doesn't know. This Lu Yuling... She couldn't have had a special relationship with my dad, could she?"

Chen Ding's face looked very unpleasant.

Chen Xiao could almost be sure that if Chen Yuan hadn't just died recently, Chen Ding would have jumped up and cursed the old man.

200,000 from 1995.

The whole family relied on him back then!

That 200,000, how much sweat and blood did he shed for it?

Especially now, as he was starting to decline, every penny seemed invaluable to him.

But his old man actually gave 200,000 to a woman?!

Chen Xiao remained very calm: "As for what relationship your dad had with her, a bit of investigation will make it clear. There's detailed recipient account info and name here, so letting Li Hui look into it wouldn't take long."

As he said this, Chen Xiao called Li Hui.

The latter took it seriously upon hearing it: "This money is important, can you check if there are any more remittance records later?"

"There are, all transferred to Lu Yuling. There was a 20,000 transaction in 1996 and a 10,000 one in 1997. But after 1997, there were no more remittance records."

"Okay, send me the account and personal info to my phone. I'll ask some colleagues from the relevant department to help check that person's household info right away. If nothing goes wrong, we might find it soon."

"Then I'll wait for your call back."

Chen Xiao said and sent all the information to Li Hui's phone, then fell silent, waiting.

Only Chen Ding felt restless, unable to sit or stand calmly in the lounge.

"Chen Xiao, I don't think my dad kept a mistress outside. Look, there're only three transactions, if it was for a mistress there wouldn't just be three payments."

Chen Xiao nodded: "What you say makes sense, but why would he send money to Lu Yuling?"

"How should I know, there were no transactions before, and they stopped by 1997." Chen Ding mumbled, seeing Chen Xiao ignoring him, muttering to himself: "This is as absurd as a sow singing!"

Chen Xiao waited quietly.

No one knew how much time had passed when Li Hui finally called back.

"How is it?" Chen Xiao went straight to the point.

Li Hui replied, "Found her, Lu Yuling is from Hu City, female, 35 years old, currently living in Hua Hai District Building 8, Apartment 801 in Xiangdu City (alias)."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but ponder over the locations of Hu City and Xiangdu City.

Hu City is far from Dongzhou.

Xiangdu City was one of the golden cities for migrant work back then.

These two places are far from Dongzhou, how did Chen Yuan, who'd never left Dongzhou, connect with this person?

As Chen Xiao pondered, Li Hui asked from the other end: "What are you thinking? Do you need to arrange police officers to question Lu Yuling right away?"

Chen Xiao instinctively replied yes.

The emergence of Lu Yuling likely indicated she had significant issues.

It was quite necessary to have officers go across provinces to investigate!

"Alright, I'll make arrangements for this right away, hanging up." Li Hui didn't wish to disturb Chen Xiao further, sensing he was deep in thought.

But just as he was about to hang up, Chen Xiao suddenly said, "Wait, you can't send your people!"

"Why?"

"To prevent... alerting the enemy!"
