Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 37: You’d Better Find More People, or It Won’t Be Enough for Brother Chen to Fight!

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: You’d Better Find More People, or It Won’t Be Enough for Brother Chen to Fight!

Chen Xiao was puzzled by Zhang Xian’s appearance.

But since he was already there, Chen Xiao had no reason not to meet him.

After all, Zhang Xian was his wife Lin Xi’s direct superior.

Chen Xiao walked up to Zhang Xian, just about to greet him, when Zhang Xian asked with a playful look:

"Chen Xiao, are you two going off to chop someone up?"

Chen Xiao was momentarily stunned, before he had a chance to speak, Xiaoji stepped in front of him, face full of displeasure, and asked: "Who the hell are you?"

"Zhang with a bow, single name Xian. Those familiar call me Brother Xian, those less so usually call me Captain Zhang."

"Xian, you motherf..." Xiaoji didn’t react, hearing Brother Xian he thought he was one of them.

Luckily Chen Xiao quickly covered his mouth: "Sorry Captain Zhang, this little brother of mine has a bit of a dense mind, didn’t understand your words."

Zhang Xian smiled, waved his hand and said: "No worries, he didn’t finish his words, and I’m not a petty person. Of course, if he had finished his words, tonight wouldn’t have gone well."

Xiaoji came to his senses at this point.

In Zhang Xian’s self-introduction, other than Brother Xian, was the title Captain Zhang.

Someone walking with Brother Chen and calling himself Captain, where else could he be from?

Definitely the police!

He just insulted a police captain?

Thinking of this possibility, Xiaoji felt dizzy and dazed.

But thankfully Zhang Xian didn’t mind, Xiaoji quickly apologized: "Captain Zhang, I’m sorry, I didn’t come to my senses for a moment."

"Alright, go play on the side, I need to chat with your Brother Chen."

"Got it!"

Feeling relieved, Xiaoji scurried away.

Chen Xiao smiled wryly and shook his head, then asked Zhang Xian: "Captain Zhang, can you now tell me why you’re here to find me?"

"Actually it’s nothing important, just a bit curious about you. But looking at this, you’re not planning to chop anyone, huh? Your brother was beaten up like that, aren’t you taking revenge?" Zhang Xian asked, Chen Xiao’s gaze narrowed.

As a policeman, Chen Xiao believed Zhang Xian had many information channels.

He had only learned recently, and now Zhang Xian had come so quickly, showing how terrifying Zhang Xian’s information channels were.

"Don’t overthink, a hospital director here is my relative, Xiaoxi just told me your friend is here, so I made a call to check." Zhang Xian explained.

Chen Xiao nodded, smiled and said: "Then Captain Zhang, want to join in chopping people?"

"I’ll pass, how can a policeman break the law knowingly? But I have something to give you, if you accept my goodwill, then you’ll have to help me with something too."

Chen Xiao didn’t respond immediately, Zhang Xian didn’t seem to be in a hurry, leisurely took a file bag from the car, then handed it over.

Opening the file bag, Chen Xiao looked at the contents inside, eyes widening in surprise.

"Captain Zhang, what does this mean?"

"Helping you save time, your good friend Luo Dali was beaten, looks just like a plotted revenge. In Dongzhou, you and Luo Dali have a few enemies who don’t see eye to eye, but it wouldn’t escalate so much. Only yesterday did you two put Qiao Ye’s trusty aide Jiang Bo in lockup, so I guess this was Qiao Ye’s doing."

Zhang Xian spoke lightly, while Chen Xiao couldn’t help but glance at the file again: "Since you police have so much criminal evidence against Qiao Ye, why not catch that guy sooner?"

"Each department has its own matters, priorities differ too. Qiao Ye, just a small fish, dealing with him is just a matter of time."

What Zhang Xian said left Chen Xiao speechless, after packing the file back up, he asked:

"Then Captain Zhang, what do you want me to do?"

"Help me investigate the case in Swallow Lane!"

Zhang Xian expressed his real intention, yet this straightforward answer left Chen Xiao perplexed.

Given his recent assistance to the Hongshan Branch’s criminal police team, Zhang Xian should think he’d be eager to help.

But why would he say this now?

Chen Xiao stared at Zhang Xian, unable to understand his intentions.

Zhang Xian seemed impatient, rubbed his face and said: "Don’t waste time figuring out my thoughts. When Swallow Lane was split, I felt like you’d noticed something. Whatever it was made you instantly lose interest in that case. If I hadn’t come, and given Xiaoxi’s fresh entry into the criminal police team with merits already, you wouldn’t want to go the extra mile to help her gain more, would you?"

Listening to Zhang Xian’s words, Chen Xiao’s heart was uncontrollably shocked.

Yes, his feelings weren’t just simple surprise, but an inexpressible fright!

How sharp were Zhang Xian’s instincts?

Even guessed his thoughts so accurately!

Such a detective, isn’t merely terrifying!

Unfortunately, facing someone like Zhang Xian, Chen Xiao couldn’t speak the truth.

He surely couldn’t tell Zhang Xian that he knew about the possible fishbone case in Swallow Lane before it happened?

As for his reluctance to investigate, it was his suspicion of Su Haidong!

If it overlapped with the past life, Chen Xiao had no pity for Su Haidong’s cruel death.

Since there was no pity, and no significant benefit to Chen Xiao, naturally his interest in solving the fishbone case waned.

Yet now Chen Xiao harbored new thoughts, why couldn’t a strong detective like Zhang Xian catch the fishbone case’s real culprit in the past life?

Was Zhang Xian passive, or was the fishbone culprit incredibly formidable?

Chen Xiao thought the former unlikely, making the fishbone culprit likely capable of matching wits with Zhang Xian.

In this moment, Chen Xiao admitted to himself he was intrigued. However, Chen Xiao didn’t immediately express his intention, but probingly asked:

"Captain Zhang, aren’t you confident in catching that guy as the criminal police captain?"

"Isn’t that nonsense? If I could be this captain, naturally I’d have confidence facing any case. I came to find you, not wanting to waste time. If there’s a shortcut, why make things difficult for myself?"

Chen Xiao gave a thumbs-up, laughed and said: "Captain Zhang is truly candid."

"Since I’ve been candid with you, shouldn’t you also give a response? If you agree, we can go stir things up right now. After that, come back to the criminal police team and help me save face."

Chen Xiao felt Zhang Xian’s words had reached this point, seeming as if he had no reason to refuse.

Though he didn’t fully want to investigate Su Haidong’s death, it seemed harmless to look into it.

"Alright, Captain Zhang, I’ll give you face no matter what." Chen Xiao made his decision, Zhang Xian snapped his fingers:

"Good, get in my car, I’ll take you to find Qiao Ye."

Chen Xiao nodded, called out to Xiaoji before following onto Zhang Xian’s car.

Only after getting in the car, did Zhang Xian pull out his phone and dial a number, putting it on speaker.

"Hello, who’s this?"

On the other side came Qiao Ye’s voice, Chen Xiao puzzledly looked at Zhang Xian.

"You must be Qiao Ye, listen up, I’m coming to settle scores for Brother Dali now. Let’s mark a place to compare strengths, but I advise you to bring more people or it won’t be enough for Brother Chen to beat, understand?"

"F*** your mother, let Chen Xiao just wait for me, if he doesn’t cry for help soon, I’ll write Qiao Ye’s name backward!"

"Then you better write Qiao Ye’s name backward now, if Brother Xiao and I inspect and aren’t satisfied, it’ll be ugly for you!"

With that, Zhang Xian "slapped" the phone shut.
