Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 80: Why Must Everything Revolve Around You?

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Why Must Everything Revolve Around You?

If you have wealth like Guo Zhengchang, you usually have a family doctor.

Chen Xiao led the maid directly to the doctor.

The maid was timid and hesitant, but Chen Xiao didn’t want to delay treatment time. He saw that the maid’s reaction was genuinely concerning, fearing there might be a risk of a heart attack.

The doctor, seeing that she was brought by Chen Xiao, immediately examined the maid.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao had noticed in time, and the maid wasn’t in a dangerous state yet.

After some initial treatment, the doctor said seriously, "You should thank Mr. Chen, otherwise if this had been delayed further, a heart attack would have been a certainty. However, I still suggest going to the hospital, as my presence here is only to handle emergencies."

The maid was scared and quickly got up to express her gratitude.

Chen Xiao shook his head, "No need, sister. Listen to the doctor and go to the hospital. No matter how important money is, losing health is meaningless."

Just after he spoke, Guo Zhengchang’s voice came from outside the door, "The car is ready, hurry to the hospital. Don’t worry, you’ll still receive your salary, but that’s purely out of respect for Mr. Chen."

The maid was genuinely grateful now, nearly moved to tears.

Once the maid had left, Chen Xiao immediately said to Guo Zhengchang, "Mr. Guo, let’s talk in the study."

Hearing this, Guo Zhengchang instantly understood the meaning, nodded silently, and headed straight to the study.

Back in the study, Guo Zhengchang couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Chen, have you discovered something?"

"It’s not really a discovery, but the maid gave me a reminder just now."

Guo Zhengchang: "What do you mean?"

Chen Xiao looked at Guo Zhengchang and said, "Perhaps, like the previous special investigation team, I have been too focused on your Guo family."

Guo Zhengchang suddenly froze.

He understood what Chen Xiao meant.

At his age, he couldn’t be so stubborn as to not accept what Chen Xiao was suggesting with one sentence.

The reason he was startled was that despite meeting many detectives, it was the first time he heard something like this.

This made him question himself.

Yes, why must everything revolve around our Guo family and Guo Ning?

Just because she’s my granddaughter, everyone investigates her during the case.

But after all that investigation, what have they found?

Nothing?

So, is it possible that this case happened because of someone else?

Was it Ye Wei? Qin Zhao? Song Zhen? Or Jin Meng?

Wrong!

It could be anyone!

This series of thoughts led Guo Zhengchang to bow deeply to Chen Xiao.

This gesture left Chen Xiao a little puzzled, "Mr. Guo, what are you doing?"

"Only at this moment has Mr. Chen really earned my respect, and I finally understand the capability of a detective involved in the three major cases in three days!"

"With this bow, I am asking you. Please, I want to entrust my granddaughter’s case entirely to you!"

Guo Zhengchang spoke from the heart, while Chen Xiao simply nodded, "For Ye Wei, Qin Zhao, Jin Meng, and Song Zhen, I hope you can gather their detailed information soon, Mr. Guo."

"Okay, I’ll have someone collect it right away."

Chen Xiao said no more, opened the computer in the study again, and prepared to re-examine the videos of the victims’ appearances.

He checked frame by frame!

Once he started, time seemed to slip away for Chen Xiao.

His notebook in front of him was filled with more and more notes.

At some unknown time, Lin Xi’s call interrupted Chen Xiao’s work.

Chen Xiao answered, smiling, "Wife, off work yet?"

"Not yet leaving the police station. How’s your time in the Provincial City? I heard from Dali that you made a big business deal for his family, didn’t you?"

"Sort of, but Uncle Luo said I should take a large share of that deal." Chen Xiao replied truthfully.

"I really didn’t expect my husband to have a business mind. Tell me what you experienced today, how did you come up with such a good idea?"

Lin Xi was full of curiosity.

Chen Xiao put his work aside and recounted the day’s experiences to his wife.

After listening to Chen Xiao’s narration, Lin Xi was indeed most interested in the case.

As for how much reward the business deal would bring, she didn’t ask about it at all.

"Husband, did you tell Captain Zhang about the idea you just came up with?" Lin Xi asked.

"No, aside from you, I didn’t want to discuss this case’s progress with anyone who is no longer involved. After all, we still can’t be sure who caused it."

Lin Xi responded, "I agree that it’s better not to tell anyone, considering the case involves unusual people. However, I have a suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"

"Of course I’d like to hear your suggestion, go ahead."

"Once your proposed trial is finalized, you can investigate. But I think the first thing to do is find Jin Meng and Qin Zhao. Only by finding them can you determine if the murderer is indeed killing according to the so-called Five Elements scenario."

"Moreover, only by finding them can it be determined whether the murders based on the Five Elements were really a Five Elements Sacrifice."

Chen Xiao quietly listened and then smiled, "Do you have any other suggestions?"

"Of course I do, like when you go to the test site to start distributing household appliances to the countryside. But how will you appear at Yu Gui’s house in the most reasonable scene in the fastest time?"

Chen Xiao frowned slightly; he hadn’t thought about this yet. After a brief consideration, he replied, "Yu Gui’s household status certainly qualifies as impoverished. At that time, we’ll use the method of donating appliances to impoverished households to pave the way for the investigation."

"That’s a good idea, and we don’t have to pay for giving appliances. But what do you think is appropriate to give?"

"It’s August, and the weather is quite hot, maybe an air conditioner?"

"Fool, do you think, given Yu Gui’s family condition, they would afford the electricity bill for the air conditioner? As investigators, whatever we do must be reasonable!"

Chen Xiao chuckled, "Okay, okay, we need to focus on reasonableness! However, what I give should at least create some time for me to reasonably stay at Yu Gui’s house."

"Then organize an activity that could delay time, like having a raffle on the spot, for items like a rice cooker, pressure cooker, frying pan. I think those villagers will definitely be interested. Of course, the prize for Yu Gui’s family has to be customized. Isn’t he suffering from stomach cancer? Eating must be difficult, and his daily diet will mainly be liquid food, so provide their home with a juicer or something."

"A juicer doesn’t need to be expensive, just need operations that aren’t immediately obvious, so you can conduct on-site teaching at their home."

Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up, "You’re the thoughtful one, my dear."

"It’s not that I’m thoughtful, but you mentioned that Yu Gui had quite good grades, indicating his intelligence level might be high. If you just give them an expensive air conditioner directly, do you think given his intelligence, he would not be suspicious?"

"With the previous special investigations as a lesson, I think Yu Gui’s heart is also on guard. Of course, we’re thinking optimistically. If he is still clinging to life with no improvement, it may be hard even to remain conscious."

After a brief ponder, Chen Xiao replied, "Let’s do as you suggest. I estimate that Dali will go over there tomorrow. I can wait, but Guo Zhengchang probably can’t, so by the third day at most, the trial site and promotions will be synchronized."

"Hmm, during these two days, just enjoy yourself in the Provincial City. Solving a case requires urgency, but such a case can’t be rushed, perhaps you’ll discover something unexpected when you get there!"

Listening to Lin Xi’s words, Chen Xiao teased, "You have such faith in me?"

"Of course, my intuition tells me, the Goddess of Fortune will surely favor you!"
