Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 171: So She Is LX!

Li Hui was confused.

Especially since Chen Xiao was holding onto his phone and wouldn’t let go, leaving Li Hui puzzled.

"Chen Xiao, what’s wrong with you?"

"My sister’s name is Li Xue!"

Chen Xiao remembered that Li Hui had mentioned his sister before.

He said that his sister Xiaoxue had just started teaching at Chang Hua Middle School and wanted to ask Teacher Xiao’s daughter, who had become a director at the school, for some guidance!

However, at that time, Chen Xiao hadn’t figured it out.

But now, everything suddenly became clear to him.

Li Hui’s sister is called Xiaoxue!

Their last name is Li!

Isn’t Li just L?

Isn’t Xue just X?!

Seeing Chen Xiao’s expression, even Li Hui was stunned when he mentioned his sister’s name.

Even Lin Xi came over, incredulously saying, "LX, could Captain Li’s sister be LX?"

"That’s impossible!" Before Chen Xiao could respond, Li Hui blurted out instinctively.

But as he spoke, he was more excited than anyone else and shouted directly into the phone:

"Li Xue, be honest with me, do you know someone named Cheng Qing!"

"No, Li Hui... Just tell me whether you’re going to help me or not. If you refuse, I’m going to complain to our parents at their graves!"

"Damn it... Be serious with me, I’m not joking with you, I’m seriously asking you about something related to a criminal case. Tell me, do you or do you not know Cheng Qing!"

Li Hui’s fury made Li Xue on the other end finally take it seriously.

She pondered for a moment, then replied, "I think... I think I remember, he was a high school... classmate?"

"You... So you really are LX, so LX has been right beside me all along!"

"What do you mean, brother?"

"Cut the crap, do you know a person named Chen Xianzu!"

"Huh? Yes... I know him, but what about it? If I remember correctly, one of them disappeared, and the other died a long time ago!"

When Li Xue finished speaking, Li Hui was completely dumbfounded.

If she only knew Cheng Qing, claiming she was LX might still be a stretch.

After all, the initials LX could form many names.

But when she mentioned that she also knew Chen Xianzu, the probability of her being LX skyrocketed!

Chen Xiao looked seriously at Li Hui, who took a deep breath, and asked again, "Xiaoxue, tell me what your relationship with Cheng Qing was when you were in school? And what about with Chen Xianzu?"

"Cheng Qing was my classmate, but at first, we didn’t know each other. It was only through a school activity where we exchanged study feedback that we started interacting. But he was so nerdy that he blushed and couldn’t say a word when we met, so I found him boring, but his study methods seemed useful, so we kept communicating through letters."

"Later, I found his study insights quite useful, and I often praised him when I wrote back."

Hearing this, both Li Hui and Chen Xiao, along with Lin Xi, somewhat guessed the reason.

But Li Hui continued asking, "What about Chen Xianzu?"

"Uh, at that time, I kind of liked him."

When she said this, Li Hui was silent for several seconds before gritting his teeth and saying:

"Li Xue, right now, I really want to slap you. Why have you never mentioned any of this!"

"At that time, how could I dare say anything? Besides, Chen Xianzu was just playing with me. It’s such an embarrassing thing, I won’t mention it!"

Li Hui was struggling to control his emotions, and Chen Xiao patted him on the shoulder, prompting Li Hui to take a deep breath.

"I’m not dealing with you right now. Go to the county criminal police team and wait to cooperate with their investigation. Don’t delay, go now!"

"Understood, but brother... I really have nothing to do with Chen Xianzu! Their issues have nothing to do with me!"

Li Hui said no more and hung up the phone, then seriously told Chen Xiao:

"Chen Xiao, I need to head back first!"

"Mm, go ahead."

Chen Xiao only offered a short response, and Li Hui quickly drove away.

Watching his car gradually disappear, Lin Xi shook his head and said, "The key person was so close to us all along!"

After saying this, Lin Xi looked at Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao blurted out something seemingly unrelated.

"I should have realized what young people of that age most want to prove!"

"Mainly to prove to their family that they can do it, to show their rivals that they can overcome everything, and to prove to the person deep in their hearts that they are better than anyone!"

At this point, Lin Xi finally understood Chen Xiao’s words, but also raised a question:

"If that’s the case, why did he carve words of eternal friendship instead of something about budding love?"

"Because he failed! In terms of grades, he couldn’t rival Chen Xianzu! Cheng Qing exerted all his effort just to secure first place in the class and rank among the top in the grade. But what about Chen Xianzu? It wasn’t that he couldn’t get into Chang Hua; another school directly offered him a scholarship! And when it came time for major exams, he still had the luxury to toy with other girls’ feelings!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi could almost feel Cheng Qing’s inner frustration. Because she also heard from Chen Xiao that Chen Xianzu later got into a prestigious university!

So, thinking back, Cheng Qing must have been really desperate at that time!

He and Li Xue spent three years as study partners supporting each other, yet their relationship never progressed even a little.

He must have known that Li Xue, in her early romantic awakenings, was fond of Chen Xianzu!

So subconsciously, he saw Chen Xianzu as his rival, motivated himself, and wanted to surpass him.

But while he burned the midnight oil studying, Chen Xianzu toyed with Li Xue and always excelled academically.

However, it was ultimately Cheng Qing who died!

What reason would Chen Xianzu have to kill Cheng Qing?

Thinking of this, Lin Xi asked Chen Xiao, "Don’t you feel that, as we investigate further, the case’s outcome seems reversed?"

Chen Xiao nodded, "I have the same feeling too; it’s like the wrong person died. Because once Li Xue is confirmed as LX, the more likely person to have had a psychological imbalance would be Cheng Qing."

"As for Chen Xianzu, although I don’t remember him well, I do remember when he got into a prestigious university. It was such a significant event in our area! And he used to be famously retained in our area, so I think he might be one of those people we all encountered during school who never seemed to study but always scored high!"

"Such people provoke jealousy and can easily unbalance the mindset of those who focus on them, especially considering Li Xue’s involvement!"

Lin Xi frowned tightly, "So why did Cheng Qing end up being the one who died?"

Chen Xiao exhaled a long breath, looking at the azure sky, and said, "Could it be just like what Teacher Han Zai liked to lament: ’The world is full of uncertainties’?"

Lin Xi’s eyes locked intensely, "Are you suggesting that the case might not have been a premeditated murder, but rather an accident or a counterattack?"

Chen Xiao silently closed his eyes, unsure if it was from the blinding sunlight or deep sentiment.

He only said one sentence: "If it truly was an accident or a counterattack, then Uncle Wan De’s involvement really was misplaced!"
