Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 49: Do You Mean the "Ying" in "Shadow"?

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Do You Mean the "Ying" in "Shadow"?

Luo Dali clearly heard what Chen Xiao said to Lin Xi.

So when Chen Xiao hung up the call, Luo Dali hurriedly asked.

"Brother Chen, did you find that fairy-like silhouette?"

Chen Xiao turned his head, speechless: "Just trying to identify, that’s all."

"Alright, when sis-in-law sends it to me, I’ll surely take a good look. I’m telling you, she has long hair, black and straight. As long as she doesn’t change her head, I could recognize her at a glance."

Chen Xiao just gave him a smile, too lazy to reply.

Since Su Jing and Su Ting, the two sisters, had been called to the criminal police squad again today, it wasn’t hard for Lin Xi to take their photos.

Soon, Chen Xiao received a message from Lin Xi on his phone.

Chen Xiao immediately handed it over to Luo Dali. The latter took one glance and said, "Don’t recognize, never seen them."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, neither of these two women matches the image I just described. And what’s with this explosion hairstyle? Like a gangster girl!"

The explosion hairstyle Luo Dali referred to was Su Haidong’s elder daughter, Su Jing.

Su Jing’s age was about the same as her little aunt Lin Yao’s, in her early twenties.

But from Lin Yao, it could be confirmed that Su Jing wasn’t some gangster girl, she just changed to a trendy hairstyle of this era.

Chen Xiao took his phone back, annoyed, and said, "You better just lie down in bed honestly, I’ve got things to do and am leaving first."

"Don’t, Brother Chen, if you leave, how boring will it be for me here?"

Chen Xiao did not respond, leaving the hospital directly.

Riding his motorcycle, Chen Xiao found a secluded spot in a park to sit down.

Once quiet, Chen Xiao began to think about what he should do next.

At present, Zhang Xian must be investigating the whereabouts of Si Ying, as well as the relationship between Su Haidong’s and Si Ying’s families.

After all, Si Ying went missing, and such an unusual event must have something strange going on.

Imagining himself in Zhang Xian’s shoes, Chen Xiao felt that if he were Zhang Xian, he would focus on investigating the relationship between the two families.

As for the original owner of building 314, it didn’t seem so important at the moment.

But what relationship could there be between Si Ying’s family and Su Haidong’s family?

Su Haidong, resident of Lanshan Street.

Si Ying, resident of Swallow Lane.

There was a street between Lanshan Street and Swallow Lane.

This street, in the city, was like a chasm, almost completely isolating the people of the two streets.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the distance of one street could lead to people from the two streets never meeting in their whole lives.

So if these two families had some ancestral relationship, it would be easy to check. But what if there’s no apparent relationship?

With this thought, Chen Xiao already inclined towards the latter in his heart.

His intuition told him the case wouldn’t be that simple.

This hurdle regarding the relationship might trap Zhang Xian, and once trapped, what should be done next?

Si Ying was definitely not something he could crack in a short time; since there was no way to break through from Si Ying, it could only be from Su Jing and Su Ting.

But now, both Su Jing and Su Ting were in the criminal police squad, and Chen Xiao couldn’t reach them.

Chen Xiao was in distress when suddenly a lightbulb flashed, and he slapped his forehead: "Damn, I’m so stupid. I’m the one most able to exploit this proximity advantage!"

Chuckling and cursing, Chen Xiao immediately called Lin Yao.

"Hey, brother-in-law, what’s up?" Lin Yao answered the call.

Chen Xiao chuckled, "Treat you to a drink, want to come?"

"Hmm? I can sense your ulterior motives, so I’m not going!"

"Come on, I want to understand something about Su Jing from you, it’s related to the case."

"Really talking at a drink place?"

"Yeah."

"Then wait for me!" Lin Yao readily agreed.

Not long after, the two met at a drink spot, Chen Xiao kept his word, letting Lin Yao order whatever she wanted.

Once the drinks were served, Chen Xiao began to inquire, "Xiaoyao, what kind of girl is Su Jing in your eyes?"

"In what aspect? Character? Personality? I’m telling you, don’t ask about her private life!"

Chen Xiao smiled wryly, "Then just ask about her personality."

"Her personality is mostly gentle, but... but I think she’s a bit weird." Lin Yao stammered slightly, Chen Xiao quickly asked, "In what way?"

"She likes to zone out."

"Zoning out? Does that relate to personality?"

"She doesn’t just mindlessly zone out; sometimes she’d sit alone and become quite scary. If she weren’t really a good partner, I would’ve nearly run away when opening a clothing store back then."

As Lin Yao spoke, Chen Xiao became more intrigued, "Can you demonstrate her scary look?"

"Are you nuts? In public, if I demonstrate, others would think I’m crazy?" Lin Yao said, speechless.

Chen Xiao immediately asked the boss by the bar, "Boss, do you have private rooms here?"

The boss paused and smiled apologetically, "Sorry sir, we don’t have private rooms here."

Chen Xiao shrugged his shoulders, helplessly said, "You’ve heard it, anyway there aren’t many people here, and your seat is turned away, just hurry and demonstrate for me."

"Is it important?" Lin Yao asked.

Chen Xiao nodded without hesitation, Lin Yao gritted her teeth and then started to mimic.

First appeared to be zoning out, then both of Lin Yao’s hands were placed on the table.

Chen Xiao immediately frowned because Lin Yao’s expression had started becoming somewhat hideous, indeed looking quite scary.

But Chen Xiao didn’t dare to interrupt Lin Yao, staring intently, seeing Lin Yao’s fingers were clawing at the tabletop.

While making this action, Lin Yao resumed her expression: "I can’t continue, otherwise I’d have to pay for the boss’s table."

"You mean she would claw the tabletop hard, right?"

"Yes, she’s generally an easy-going person, very gentle to everyone. And she seldom refutes or retaliates, swallowing lots of grievances. Perhaps because of this, her internal pressure is huge, trapping her inside."

Listening, Chen Xiao’s gaze grew serious, Lin Yao’s words could be summed up into a term often mentioned in later generations.

That is, mental exhaustion!

Clearly, Su Jing is a girl severely suffering from mental exhaustion!

Severe mental pressure, once not released, could easily break a person.

And there are many ways it could break, some become lethargic, others become hysterical.

Chen Xiao didn’t know which way Su Jing might evolve, and Lin Yao probably hadn’t seen Su Jing’s side during true pressure release.

This wasn’t easy to verify!

Chen Xiao thought about it for a while, then finally asked, "Have you ever heard her mention a woman named Si Ying?"

Lin Yao recalled, then shook her head, "Haven’t heard of it, and that surname is so rare!"

Chen Xiao sighed, "Indeed, not common, seems you here..."

Before Chen Xiao finished his sentence, suddenly a voice sounded from behind: "Sir, the Si Ying you mentioned, is it ’Si’ like in commander, and ’Ying’ like shadow?"

Turning around at the sound, standing behind was the owner of this drink shop!
