Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 66: During an Avalanche, Not a Single Snowflake Is Innocent!

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: During an Avalanche, Not a Single Snowflake Is Innocent!

Xi Yian confessed all he felt he should confess.

After Xi Yian’s confession, Liang Yan led the team to locate the pieces of Su Haidong’s body that had been mutilated.

Chen Xiao did not remain by Xi Yian’s side, instead sitting alone beneath a tree in the courtyard of the police department.

He gazed at the bright moon hanging in the sky, his mood not light.

Because he was faced with a choice.

There was no doubt, Su Haidong deserved to die.

His twisted life caused many people’s lives to be tragic.

Especially his family, who all lived in darkness. Even someone who was originally unrelated, Si Ying, paid with her life.

Was it Si Ying’s meddling that cost her?

Chen Xiao felt one shouldn’t think of a kind-hearted woman that way, nor did he think it was Si Ying’s holy compassion at work.

Because any normal person, upon learning Su Haidong’s true nature, would be outraged and worried for the futures of Su Jing and Su Ting, who were still alive.

Si Ying was different from most people, she truly wanted to save Su Jing and Su Ting’s futures.

That’s why Si Ying was murdered by Su Haidong.

Xi Yian, upon realizing Si Ying’s disappearance was related to Su Haidong, and after making sufficient preparations, avenged Si Ying.

It all seemed reasonable, but all his actions were illegal.

Therefore, Xi Yian will pay for all he has done.

But is Xi Yian really the only killer in the Fishbone case?

I fear not.

If he were the only one, then why did Su Jing act mysteriously in Swallow Lane?

Wasn’t it to lure Su Haidong to his death?

After meeting Su Jing, Xi Yian chose to surrender.

That was because he thought of Si Ying and sensed that Si Ying might have considered Su Jing and Su Ting as her daughters in her heart.

He loved Si Ying, naturally extending his protection to them.

To protect Su Jing, he willingly took all the blame.

Otherwise, why would he surrender?

Most surrender for one reason: truly recognizing one’s mistakes and hoping to lessen punishment.

But if Xi Yian admits guilt, his punishment won’t be reduced because his method of murder can be characterized as extremely brutal and has an extremely negative impact.

Xi Yian will hardly escape death.

While Chen Xiao was deep in thought, a graceful figure sat beside him.

Chen Xiao knew who it was, smiled at the hands clasping his arm, and said, "Officer Lin has returned post haste to find her dear husband?"

Lin Xi made a face, resting her head on his shoulder, "Yes, yes, Officer Lin really missed her man, who is so smart and charming!"

"Did Sister Liang tell you about Xi Yian surrendering?" Chen Xiao asked, and Lin Xi nodded, "Mm, Sister Liang already called me and Captain Zhang while I was still on the way."

Chen Xiao made an "oh" sound and instinctively glanced at the moon, Lin Xi squeezed his arm, "What are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about what Xi Yian said when he surrendered," Chen Xiao replied.

"I only heard from Sister Liang that Xi Yian confessed guilt, but I don’t know exactly what he said yet, please tell me again."

Chen Xiao agreed, then patiently began to recount what Xi Yian said during his surrender to his wife.

However, as Chen Xiao recounted those words again, he didn’t finish, falling into silence once more.

Lin Xi glanced at him, nudged his arm, "Why did you stop talking?"

"Sorry dear, I suddenly thought of something."

"What is it?"

"When an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent! Xi Yian has been protecting Su Jing and Su Ting, but when I recount Xi Yian’s words, I feel those sisters aren’t as simple as I imagined."

Lin Xi was curious, "Do they have any issues? Xi Yian confessed everything clearly."

"He didn’t confess Dali’s matters, nor did I ask him about Su pretending to be supernatural. I know if I asked, he’d have a reasonable explanation. But now I suddenly thought of one crucial problem, that is how did Su Haidong know Si Ying was going to expose him? This matter Si Ying surely intended to do without Su Haidong knowing, and besides Si Ying, the only ones who knew were Xi Yian, Su Jing, and Su Ting."

"Xi Yian can’t be the one who leaked it, so who did?"

Lin Xi widened her eyes, "Su Jing and Su Ting?"

"Yeah."

"But why would they leak it?"

"Maybe it wasn’t both of them who leaked it, but one of them did. You know, under the upbringing of someone as twisted as Su Haidong, it’s easy for people to develop psychological flaws or even dark minds!"

Lin Xi frowned, sensing the seriousness of the problem, but she still didn’t know how to address it.

"Hubby, do you have any idea how to find out who leaked it? You know, Su Haidong is dead, this is equivalent to having no witness for proof," Lin Xi replied.

Chen Xiao didn’t ponder long, replying, "We can only use elimination!"

Lin Xi was still puzzled, smiled wryly, "Can you not be so deep and mysterious in front of me?"

Chen Xiao chuckled, "One of the sisters is quite special, the one who writes well and won awards, right?"

"Indeed."

"Then do you think she ever wrote an essay like ’My Dad’ or ’My Mom’ from when she started writing till now?"

Lin Xi’s eyes lit up, "Certainly, during studying phases, one always faces such essay topics. If they slightly favor their dad, they choose ’My Dad’, if they’re closer to their mom, they’d naturally write ’My Mom.’ Strictly speaking, if there’s no strict requirement, such an essay topic leads students to write about who they think is best for them or who they yearn for most!"

Chen Xiao snapped his fingers, "Exactly, and this isn’t hard to investigate. We only need to find out which language teachers taught Su Ting from elementary to now, and roughly gather the information. So, we start elimination with Su Ting!"

Lin Xi nodded, "I’ll go look right away."

"Let’s go together!"

Chen Xiao currently didn’t want to stay alone, as he was eager to make sense of all this.

He admitted after hearing Xi Yian’s account, he felt some sympathy for Su Jing.

But deep in Chen Xiao’s heart, he always remembered everything from the previous life, where the one who died was Luo Dali!

And Su Ting stood up a year after the case, saying Luo Dali was killed while saving her.

So in Chen Xiao’s heart, Su Ting was always his emotional knot. Moreover, he never forgot a fact presented by the case: the killer was already experienced before killing Su Haidong!

If the killer was just Xi Yian, how did he master such brutal skills?

Was he experimenting on humans, or was there another reason?
