Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 87: What Kind of Underworld Skill Is This!

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: What Kind of Underworld Skill Is This!

Chen Xiao lay on the bed, glanced at the time, and called Guo Zhengchang.

Tomorrow’s matter still requires Guo Zhengchang to contact the local police to cooperate better with him.

Guo Zhengchang quickly answered the phone.

"Hello, is everything okay over there, Mr. Xiaochen?" Guo Zhengchang asked with concern.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Everything’s fine. I’m calling the old man to ask you to notify the Qingxi police so they’re prepared for a discovery in Xiaofeng Village tomorrow."

"Hmm? You need to involve the Qingxi police already, could it be...?" Guo Zhengchang’s tone became a bit urgent.

Chen Xiao didn’t keep him in suspense: "That’s right, we’ve found a male corpse in a cesspool in Xiaofeng Village. My people dug it up, and it could be the missing Qin Zhao."

Guo Zhengchang exclaimed, "Unbelievable, just how fast are you!"

"Save the compliments for later, old man. My people just pulled the body up from the cesspool for now, so no one knows yet. But by tomorrow morning at the latest, someone will report it, and with a murder case in Xiaofeng Village, the Qingxi City Bureau will surely send the criminal police team over right away."

"Alright, I’ll contact the Qingxi police immediately."

Guo Zhengchang was about to hang up when Chen Xiao quickly said, "Old man, wait a moment... "

"Don’t worry, Mr. Xiaochen, there won’t be any problem with the police there."

"I know, I’m not worried about that. It’s just that I haven’t finished speaking."

Guo Zhengchang coughed awkwardly and said, "Go ahead."

"Jin Meng might also be found tomorrow."

"What? You’ve found Jin Meng’s whereabouts too!"

On the other side, Guo Zhengchang was already in disbelief.

Chen Xiao replied, "It’s thanks to our household appliances campaign in the countryside. Today, from Xiaofeng Village, in a batch of rice cookers we collected, I found a piece of human earlobe tissue. The earlobe has piercings, and I’ve seen in videos that Jin Meng likes to wear earrings, with at least two or three piercings in each ear. So, I suspect that the earlobe piece was bitten off by a mouse from her ear and dropped into the rice cooker."

On the other end, Guo Zhengchang took a deep breath: "Mr. Xiaochen, whether or not you’ve discovered Qin Zhao and Jin Meng today, I must express my sincere admiration. You’re truly amazing, beyond my expectations and imagination!"

"Let’s hope everything goes as we wish, and I also hope you will, as I’ve requested, inform the Qingxi police later, so we might find Jin Meng as well tomorrow!"

"Okay, you put so much effort for the sake of those children, I, Guo Zhengchang, will definitely not drop the ball at this time. Rest assured, leave it to me!"

Chen Xiao didn’t say any more, he hung up after giving instructions.

However, holding the phone, Chen Xiao suddenly missed his wife.

Ever since rebirth, he felt his luck had improved.

Whether it was the Red Cotton Pants case at the beginning, or Zhao Xiaohong’s murder and the fishbone case, Chen Xiao’s investigations were all successful.

Success means luck!

Just like when he came to Qingxi, Lin Xi said over the phone that the Goddess of Fortune would favor him.

Now the Goddess of Fortune had indeed arrived, and quite coincidentally, in the way Lin Xi described.

It was she who suggested the lottery for the villagers, and it was because of the lottery that he saw that broken rice cooker and found the earlobe!

Just as Chen Xiao was about to call, Lin Xi seemed to be in tune with him and sent a message first.

"Hey, you silly goose, are you asleep? Why haven’t you called your wife all day!"

Looking at the message from Lin Xi, Chen Xiao smiled as he dialed the phone.

"Oh, seems like someone’s not asleep." Lin Xi said sarcastically.

Chen Xiao laughed, "Be good, don’t be mad at me, I just got busy and forgot!"

"Yeah, yeah, I, the police officer, can’t be bothered with you. Tell me honestly, what’s progressed on your first day in Qingxi?"

Chen Xiao told Lin Xi everything that happened that day.

When he mentioned the earlobe in the rice cooker, Lin Xi exclaimed, "Huh? Does this count as me hitting the nail on the head!"

Chen Xiao was amused by Lin Xi, "Yes, it must count! But it’s not a hit, it’s my wife speaking into existence!"

"Hehe, seems like things are going well there. But seriously, Dali and his team are gross, going through someone’s cesspool. When you guys get back, they’re not allowed to eat at our place for at least a month."

"Definitely!"

"Hmm... do you have a plan for tomorrow? I think our first step goal should be considered complete at this point."

Listening to Lin Xi’s words, Chen Xiao felt pleased.

He felt Lin Xi had grown, no longer just a female officer from Phoenix Street Police Station.

She had learned to think ahead.

"As long as we confirm the identity of that male body tomorrow, the next step will naturally be catching the mouse, but we need to act and sing in harmony with the police. Of course, it’s just an attempt, and I’m not optimistic about the result. I think the killer who fooled Captain Zhang and the others won’t be that simple."

"Give it a try, since the plan goes step by step, you’re already way ahead. If Captain Zhang finds out you’re about to find Qin Zhao and Jin Meng so quickly, I can’t imagine how surprised he’d be!"

Speaking of which, Lin Xi suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Oh right, hubby, Captain Zhang mentioned there’s a skilled veteran in Qingxi who’s also following the Xiaofeng Village murder case, you might meet him tomorrow."

Chen Xiao asked, "Is he from the Qingxi police?"

"He used to be, but he killed a criminal during interrogation and spent a few years in prison. After that, he couldn’t be a cop anymore. His surname is Lou, and he’s called Lou Xiaodong. The Qingxi police respect him a lot, and he’s an old acquaintance of Yu Gui’s father."

"Got it."

"Now make sure you rest up. Nobody knows when the family will report it, you might have to get up in the middle of the night."

"Okay, goodnight, dear."

After the sweet conversation, Chen Xiao noticed there were only a few minutes left until 0:00.

Without thinking much more, he closed his eyes, waiting for the day of Heaven and Earth’s conflict, which is August 12, 2006, to arrive.

Time ticked by, and soon, 0:00 came quietly.

The calendar, which had not appeared in Chen Xiao’s mind for several days, finally hung on the wall along with mottled light, emanating a faint golden glow.

The calendar spun rapidly before stopping on today’s date.

[2006, August 12.]

[Lunar Calendar: Bingxu Year, July 19 (Day of Heaven and Earth’s Conflict).]

[Suitable for: Sacrifice, Prayer, Seeking, Construction...]

[Avoid: Military expeditions, Warfare, Litigation, Taking office...]

The calendar displayed today’s suitable and unsuitable activities, yet looking at them, Chen Xiao still felt puzzled.

According to the data he found, the Day of Heaven and Earth’s Conflict is said to be a day when a mysterious force exists between heaven and earth, allowing people to more easily contact deities to get guidance and inspiration.

With such an explanation, Chen Xiao didn’t understand why such a good day was unsuitable for military expeditions and warfare.

Upon thinking, perhaps it’s because expeditions and warfare involve conflict, and war has never been one-sided, hence the taboo?

Chen Xiao couldn’t figure it out and didn’t want to delve too deeply. He felt that the reward was about to arrive.

Sure enough, a large seal suddenly appeared on the calendar, just like when the "Sophistry" skill had appeared before, and then the words "Killing" appeared!

Seeing these two words, Chen Xiao’s eyes widened as he thought, "What kind of underworld skill is this!"
