Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 35: Something Happened After All!

"Brother-in-law, I’m sorry!"

Lin Yao inexplicably apologized, which left Chen Xiao stunned.

What is she doing?

Is she apologizing to me?

Why does she need to apologize to me?

Lin Yao can actually apologize to me?

Even though Chen Xiao has a god-like perspective right now, deliberately involving Lin Yao to help push the case forward, he never expected Lin Yao would apologize to him!

He thought after Lin Yao’s excessive vomiting, she would surely lash out at him, cursing him for having ill intentions, for not being a good person.

But in the end, Lin Yao apologized!

Seeing Lin Yao endure the discomfort and stand up, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but ask, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Lin Yao shook her head, "I’m fine, I just didn’t expect it to be so terrifying."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao seemed to understand everything at once.

Lin Yao’s apology came from the heart!

Because she never believed Chen Xiao was solving cases for Lin Xi’s benefit; she was certain it must be with Lin Xi’s help or sheer luck that he managed to crack the case.

But now, Lin Yao finally witnessed the other side of the homicide - the bloody and terrifying side!

And because she saw this side, a new emotion emerged within Lin Yao.

Chen Xiao was right.

When Lin Yao went upstairs and saw such a horrifying sight, she broke down completely.

She thought she was someone capable of enduring, even felt that in this regard, she had no comparison with Chen Xiao.

But after going upstairs, Lin Yao crumbled instantly, collapsing right there.

She never imagined confronting certain homicides would be so terrifying!

At this moment, she began to acknowledge what Chen Xiao is enduring.

Because Chen Xiao isn’t a police officer, police have to confront cases.

As for others, Lin Yao believed that even if they accidentally encounter a homicide once, they’d definitely never want to face a second time in their future life.

Sister once said, Chen Xiao already faced a headless corpse yesterday.

But now he saw such a bloody scene again!

If the first time was an accident, then this consecutive second time might indeed be genuine.

Chen Xiao genuinely wants to help her sister make a contribution!

He wasn’t lying!

If he was lying, why would he bring her to witness such a terrifying corpse again downstairs?

She believes Chen Xiao is also fearful, also resistant. It’s only for Lin Xi’s sake that he insisted on bringing her upstairs again.

"Maybe Brother-in-law truly has a hard time." Lin Yao thought to herself, but Chen Xiao already spoke again:

"Xiaoyao, I know you’re very scared right now. But I trust some things; bear with it and see if you recognize the deceased."

Lin Yao nodded silently.

Although she thought the supernatural talk Chen Xiao did downstairs was absurd. But, what if she really recognized him?

Lin Yao walked step by step towards the corpse.

Noticing them coming upstairs, Lin Xi also approached.

Just about to speak, Chen Xiao whispered: "It’s okay to recognize."

"It’s not about her having issues, it’s if she truly recognizes, then it becomes your issue," Lin Xi’s words suddenly bewildered Chen Xiao.

He seemed to realize he still underestimated this woman closest to him.

"What are you dazing at? Sister Liang told me, Captain Zhang is a very suspicious person. He’s made comments, particularly about suspects. He said that after a crime occurs, anyone appearing in his view, regardless of gender, old or young, is suspicious!"

"You showed up tonight in this deserted eviction area, claiming to look for Dali. But Dali isn’t here, now you let Xiaoyao identify the body, no matter how reasonable your explanation is, in Captain Zhang’s mind you possess clairvoyant suspect. What kind of person could have clairvoyance about a case? Only..."

The ’only’ part Lin Xi didn’t finish, just gazed at Chen Xiao with a meaning beyond words.

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, yet quickly shifted to a smiling face: "My wife has quite the astute mind, but don’t worry, I’m not the murderer, let him suspect as he wishes."

Lin Xi didn’t say more, walked to Lin Yao grabbing her hand led it to the skeleton.

Lin Yao originally dared not to look, but when the skeleton was within close range, she still raised her head to check.

Seeing it, Lin Yao’s eyes widened abruptly.

Lin Xi was astonished, asked: "You really know him?"

"Yes! Yes!" Lin Yao affirmed twice.

Lin Xi quickly asked again: "Who is he?"

"Su Jing’s father!"

"Su Jing?"

"The girl I used to partner in a clothing store, this person is her father!" Lin Yao revealed the deceased’s identity, where Liang Yan immediately spoke:

"You actually know, then please tell us more information, so we can contact his family."

Liang Yan said pulling Lin Yao aside.

Watching them, Chen Xiao’s gaze tightened.

"The case finally aligns with some past-life information, Xiaoyao is crucial for progress in the case, she’s connected with the relevant person!"

"Only why did this deceased become her friend’s father? Is it because he was kind-hearted like Dali, leading to his misfortune?"

"If that’s the case, did he die for Dali in this life?"

"No! Though I haven’t met that girl’s family in a previous life, someone seemed to say her last name was Su, could it be...?"

"If true, then maybe this case evolving like this, perhaps signifies some people’s redemption!"

Chen Xiao pondered, but suddenly he felt a piercing gaze upon him.

Following that sensation, he found Zhang Xian staring at him. Seeing Chen Xiao’s gaze meet his, Zhang Xian even smiled a little.

Chen Xiao returned the smile, but after retracting his gaze, he felt a chill down his spine!

"Xiaoxi was right, I exhibited too much out-of-place behavior in this case. I shouldn’t be this anxious, otherwise Zhang Xian targeting me, even if the case has nothing to do with me, will ultimately be troublesome."

Chen Xiao thought.

Then Liang Yan, having finished a call, walked over to Zhang Xian’s side and said, "Brother Xian, confirmed. The deceased is named Su Haidong, aged 46, a resident of Lanshan Street in Hongshan District. His wife passed away a few years ago, and now his eldest daughter is on her way."

"Eldest daughter? He has two children?"

"Yes, two daughters, one is currently attending Hongshan Fourth Middle School."

Zhang Xian nodded: "Alright then, first take the deceased for autopsy, the scene investigation must be thorough. Also, collect and preserve footprints from the mandatory path into this building."

After a brief introduction, Zhang Xian went downstairs on his own.

Going downstairs, he didn’t look at Chen Xiao again, and Chen Xiao didn’t focus on him either, all he thought about was Su Haidong’s daughter currently studying in high school!

However, just as Chen Xiao prepared to inquire Lin Yao about more of Su Haidong’s family matters, a phone call came in at this moment. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The caller was Xiaoji!

Chen Xiao immediately answered: "Hello, Xiaoji, did you find Dali?"

"Brother Chen, come to the hospital quickly, Brother Dali has an accident, it’s very serious!"

Chen Xiao, already relieved inwardly, upon hearing this call, tensed up again instantly.

Luo Dali had an accident!

He eventually got into an accident!
