Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 58: I Almost Believed Your Fake Affection!

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: I Almost Believed Your Fake Affection!

Lin Xi’s answer made Chen Xiao pause, then he slapped his forehead.

"I really was a bit possessed!"

Chen Xiao gave a bitter smile, and Lin Xi pouted, "Yeah, but do you want to show this photo to Dali?"

"Of course, he has to see it, absolutely must see it!"

Chen Xiao said, finally realizing that he had overlooked something very important all along.

That is, a person’s appearance can always be changed!

Luo Dali is definitely not some lovesick fool; that bastard clearly continued to linger around bathhouses, karaoke bars, and nightclubs after meeting his supposed ’fairy’.

So Chen Xiao was wrong; he made an erroneous judgment after hearing Luo Dali’s story.

He mistakenly thought that after encountering this so-called fairy, that guy changed from a playboy to a devoted lover. So he believed Luo Dali couldn’t be mistaken, because regardless of what a beloved one does, you could always catch on to her actions.

But was it really love from Luo Dali?

The dog might simply have been lusting after the body!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao immediately sent the photo to Luo Dali.

Within seconds, Luo Dali called back, "Damn, bro... my good brother, where did you find this photo?"

"So you’re saying there’s a girl in the photo who is the fairy you met?"

"Yeah, it’s her! I could recognize her even if she turned to ash!" Luo Dali vowed confidently.

Chen Xiao almost swore after hearing that and sneered, "Yeah, right, recognize her as ash, but if she changes her hairstyle, you call her a freak! Luo Dali, oh Luo Dali, your fake sentiment almost fooled me too!"

"Uh... Brother Chen, what do you mean by that?" Luo Dali asked, then exclaimed, "Oh no... don’t tell me it’s that afro you showed me before!"

"It’s her!"

"Huh? Impossible, she’s so gentle and soft, how could she dress like that!"

Chen Xiao really didn’t want to hear more from him, directly hung up the call.

Lin Xi, confused beside him, asked, "What did you and Dali talk about?"

"Su Jing is Dali’s dream fairy, but when she changes her hairstyle and outfit, he calls her a freak. But if you think about it, it’s understandable; most guys prefer those quiet, bookish, pale-skinned girls, they have no resistance to such types."

"But when that girl suddenly changes her temperament and style, it’s like a dream shattered."

Explaining Luo Dali’s behavior, Lin Xi grinned, "Is that so? Then what about you?"

"Comrade Lin Xi, please face your duty as a People’s Police Officer, we are currently handling a case," Chen Xiao said with mock seriousness. Lin Xi snorted, "When I rest, I’ll sit under the sun with a book and show you."

"Hmm? Seems he turned around and told you, quite a fanatic, hasn’t changed at all!" Chen Xiao teased.

Lin Xi put on a serious look, "So what should we do next?"

"It’s simple, the girl Dali met in Room 506 was Su Jing, so the person pretending to be a ghost last night in Room 506 could very well have been her too. If that’s the case, then she has the biggest suspicion!"

After Chen Xiao finished, Lin Xi responded seriously, "Then I have to go back and ask her properly."

"No, it’s not time for questioning yet; we need to confirm one more thing first. Let’s go, bring this album and find the owner of that beverage shop, see if the missing photo on his wall has anything to do with Su Jing!"

After Chen Xiao said this, he didn’t feel like staying at the Su Family any longer.

He and Lin Xi hurried to the beverage shop as fast as possible; fortunately, the shop owner was still there.

On seeing Chen Xiao, the shop owner came up and said, "Mr. Chen, the police just left, but when I asked if they found anything, nobody would tell me."

"It’s a homicide case after all; even if they found clues, they wouldn’t disclose them easily. But boss, I need you to recognize two people, see if Ms. Si met them before."

The shop owner nodded, and Chen Xiao took out the album, revealing the front photos of Su Ting and Su Jing.

"These two girls, have you seen them before?"

Chen Xiao inquired, the shop owner glanced, then nodded, "I know them. They seemed to like Si Ying a lot, and Si Ying also liked them, often having heart-to-heart talks with them, teaching them some truths. But weren’t their photos with Si Ying on the wall?"

If they were on the wall, Chen Xiao would have noticed a long time ago, no need to wait until now!

"No, the missing photo on the wall is the one of them with Si Ying!"

The shop owner was utterly shocked, although he also carefully examined the group photo on the wall. But there were too many people in the picture for the photographer to remember them all, unless there was something particularly striking!

Coming to his senses now, the shop owner got very excited, "Mr. Chen, do you mean Si Ying’s disappearance is related to these two? No way, how could they harm Si Ying!"

"I can’t say whether they are related, but you now need to keep this confidential, under no conditions should this be spread!"

Chen Xiao reminded him, and the shop owner nodded emphatically, "Understood, you can count on me!"

"Alright, I need to continue my investigation, just wait for my news."

Leaving those words, Chen Xiao and Lin Xi got back in the car. Once in the driver’s seat, Lin Xi asked:

"Honey, I can’t think of any reason. Even now, with the facts right in front of me, Su Jing and Su Ting are both suspects, I still can’t figure out a motive."

"The motive for the crime is indeed perplexing, Su Haidong is their father. Even if he can’t have children, and Su Jing and Su Ting were adopted, the kindness of raising them surpasses the grace of giving birth; years of upbringing can’t be replaced by much, let alone by Si Ying who is not related by blood."

"So how should we investigate?"

Chen Xiao didn’t answer immediately, after some thought, he asked, "What is Su Haidong’s wife’s name?"

"I think it’s Li Ruomei, she passed away several years ago, do you think you can find anything from her?"

"Passing away years ago means Li Ruomei died in her thirties, dying at that age is something worth investigating, though it’s uncertain how much can be preserved. But as long as we find a little, it will be enough for us to dig till the bottom."

Lin Xi nodded, "If I remember correctly, Su Jing and Su Ting said their mother died of illness, in which case there should be hospital records or medical files. Oh right, their mother wasn’t buried in the city either, but taken back to their hometown for an earth burial."

Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up, "Thank you, my dear, for the reminder, I guess I’ll have to visit Li Ruomei’s burial site, maybe someone from Su Haidong’s hometown can reveal some information."

"Alright, then let’s split up, you go early and come back soon, stay safe!"

"Okay, I’ll take Dali’s car!"
