Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 88: Setting the Stage, the Rat Deserves the Best Actor Award!

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Setting the Stage, the Rat Deserves the Best Actor Award!

Looking at the calendar stamped with the words "Killing," Chen Xiao was puzzled.

The meaning of "killing" is so easy to understand, the most common interpretation is murder.

But he’s a detective?

A detective was actually rewarded with the skill of killing.

This is no longer a reverse skill like sophistry but rather anti-human.

But upon further thought, Chen Xiao seemed to grasp the true meaning of the calendar’s reward.

The so-called day of struggle between heaven and earth, since there is a struggle, there may be killing.

Therefore, rewarding "killing" is not unreasonable!

And the skill of "killing," can it only be used to kill people?

Definitely not!

Perhaps it is meant to make Chen Xiao understand killing, to master it!

The killer in the Xiaofeng Village murder case might have already completed five murders, and since he can kill so easily, so boldly, with such skill,

then Chen Xiao receiving "killing" at this time becomes entirely reasonable.

He didn’t even need to think much to realize that this reward had hidden benefits.

His physical qualities would improve with each reward, and now with the "killing" boost, he felt if he used it, the Xiaoji Knife Man would admire him even more.

Understanding the true meaning of "killing," Chen Xiao was completely at ease.

Just as Zhang Xian said when he gave him that "Killing Notes," an absolute demon technique will only manifest harmfulness in the hands of someone with malicious intent. If the heart is clear, then a demon technique will become a divine skill!

Chen Xiao closed his eyes, and the calendar in his mind was slowly dissipating.

Not long afterward, he let go of all thoughts and rested peacefully.

The night was getting deeper.

It was unclear how many hours had passed, but after a police siren whizzed past, Chen Xiao immediately opened his eyes.

The town’s police station had moved out!

That meant someone had reported to the police!

Chen Xiao glanced at the time, it was five twenty-four in the morning.

He got out of bed, went to knock on the doors of Ye Xiu, Luo Dali, and Xiaoji Knife Man one by one.

"Everyone up."

Chen Xiao called out, and soon Ye Xiu came out of her room, rubbing her eyes, and asked, "Brother Chen Xiao, did a police car just pass by?"

"Yeah, Xiaofeng Village probably called the police. Let’s prepare and wait for people from the town to head to Xiaofeng Village, then we’ll go to see what’s going on."

"Okay!" Ye Xiu perked up and went to wash her face right away.

Luo Dali and Xiaoji Knife Man didn’t dare to dawdle either, and Chen Xiao was the first to get ready and wait by the test site’s door.

When he saw a group of people riding motorcycles in a hurry, Chen Xiao deliberately stopped them and asked, "Bro, why the rush?"

"There’s another dead person found in Xiaofeng Village. They say the city police will arrive soon!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao exclaimed, "Another dead college student?"

"Don’t know yet, but that place in Xiaofeng Village is truly haunted this year!"

The guy was eager to see the excitement; before finishing his sentence, he was already off on his motorcycle.

Chen Xiao called into the house, "Xiaoji, drive, we’re going to Xiaofeng Village."

A group of five headed towards Xiaofeng Village, catching up with the larger crowd going to see the spectacle.

When they reached Xiaofeng Village, looking at the crowd not far away, it was as if the assembly of Nanqiao Town had moved to Xiaofeng Village.

Following the flow of people, Chen Xiao entered the village, and Ye Xiu cleverly separated from them immediately.

When Chen Xiao and Luo Dali squeezed to the front of the crowd, they also found Ye Xiu already standing with Yu Gui’s mother.

At that moment, a police officer waved at Yu Gui’s mother. Ye Xiu helped her towards the corpse covered in a golden soup-like substance, and after identifying it, Yu Gui’s mother nodded.

With her nod, the crowd naturally erupted in exclamations:

"It’s really the missing college student! But how did he end up in Old San’s sewage pit?"

"Who knows, this morning when Old San’s wife got up to make breakfast, she smelled something. When she went out, she saw the wall splattered with filth, and then discovered a person in the sewage pit!"

"So the one who splattered the filth is the murderer!"

Someone shouted, and Xiaoji instinctively shrank his head in the crowd.

But as soon as that was said, another voice countered, "Are you stupid? This is obviously a coincidence. If the one who splattered the filth was the murderer, wouldn’t this be self-incrimination?"

"True, Old San, that bastard, has been swaggering around after making some money these couple of years. It’s only a matter of time before someone threw filth at him!"

As people talked, the police were recording the victim’s characteristics and collecting some personal items.

With Yu Gui’s mother’s identification, they could confirm it was Qin Zhao from the clothes.

But the corpse in the sewage pit had decomposed, and the face was almost unrecognizable.

Soon, Ye Xiu helped Yu Gui’s mother out of the restricted area, while Chen Xiao stood in the first row, scanning every person at the scene with his eyes.

He felt the killer was likely in this dense crowd unless he had already left Xiaofeng Village.

Otherwise, with such a commotion, he would definitely come to watch!

Unfortunately, there were too many people, too many for Chen Xiao to analyze every expression using the Power of Capture.

A few more minutes passed, and the criminal investigation team from the Qingxi City Bureau finally arrived.

Leading them was a man in his forties, who, after entering the restricted area, was briefed by the local police station director who had arrived earlier.

"Captain Hu, Yu Gui’s mother just identified the body. From the clothes and some personal items, it should be one of the missing college students—Qin Zhao."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yue solemnly said, "Finally turned up, and now there’s only one left."

"Yeah, judging by this one, he was probably thrown into that sewage pit from the beginning."

Hu Yue nodded, "Alright, leave the investigation to us. Your station help maintain the area. There’re too many onlookers; get them to leave quickly, or the scene might get contaminated."

The police station director immediately led his men to persuade the crowd to leave.

Just at that moment, someone slipped something into Chen Xiao’s hands.

The thing wriggled in Chen Xiao’s hand, and when he looked down, it was a mouse.

Remaining expressionless, Chen Xiao tossed it into a young girl’s pocket.

The girl, feeling the movement, reached into her pocket and screamed in fright.

"Ah, oh my gosh!"

Panicking, the girl ran frantically without noticing the police tape ahead, screaming while darting towards the policemen.

The mouse thrown out was stepped on by the policeman at the front.

While shielding the girl, the officer glanced at the trampled mouse and said with a straight face, "Why are you scared of just a mouse?"

The girl, red-faced, stayed silent, while Hu Yue came over, directly grabbing the mouse.

The officer, surprised, exclaimed, "Captain Hu, look, there’s something in that mouse’s mouth!"

Hu Yue pulled a small piece of meat from the mouse’s mouth, and the officer, eyes wide, shouted, "Holy crap, there’s an earlobe... Is this a human... a human earlobe?"

As the officer’s exclamation echoed, Chen Xiao’s eyes swiftly scanned everyone he could possibly catch in this brief moment!
