Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 69: Leave None Behind!

Outside the police station, the crowd was growing larger.

The journalists, in particular, were becoming increasingly restless due to the long wait.

"What’s going on? The Swallow Lane murder case isn’t just any case. The police have caught the culprit, so why aren’t they coming out to explain to the public!"

"Yeah, Swallow Lane’s earlier demolition already caught the public’s attention, and now such a terrible incident has happened. Even if the police don’t want to face us, they should at least issue a statement, right?"

"Exactly. I heard the case was cracked by a Mr. Chen, and he also solved the Red Cotton Trousers case and the Riverside Headless case! Mr. Chen isn’t even a cop, so why not let him come out!"

The journalists seemed to be gossiping, but their voices were quite loud.

They were shouting while gathering outside the entrance, neither crossing the line nor blocking traffic.

This made the policemen guarding the door look extremely displeased yet helpless.

Just then, a few police officers suddenly rushed out, carrying a young girl.

Su Jing had fainted for some unknown reason in the police station’s lounge, and Su Ting followed in the chaos.

Seeing this, a journalist shouted, "Look, aren’t those two girls the daughters of the deceased, Su Haidong?"

"That’s them; they live in my neighborhood. They are Su Haidong’s daughters," a bystander identified them.

At that instant, the reporters with a story to catch suddenly swarmed forward.

Liang Yan directly blocked all the reporters, but they didn’t care: "Su, has the case been solved? Has the killer of your father been found?"

Without much hesitation, Su Ting replied, "Yes, he’s been caught. A man surnamed Chen caught him, and the murderer has admitted to killing my father!"

"Then Su, who exactly is the killer?"

"I can’t say; my sister has already fainted from being unable to accept it. Please, let us through; the police need to take my sister to the hospital!"

Su Ting spoke methodically while Liang Yan coldly glanced at the subordinate behind her.

The look seemed to say: It’s just one person fainting; why is no one watching Su Ting!

Understanding, the subordinate immediately stayed by Su Ting’s side. After seemingly perceiving this, Su Ting continued, "Dear journalist uncles and aunts, please move aside swiftly. The killer of my father has truly been caught. My sister and I will not let him off; we will plead with the judge in court to sentence that demon... to death!"

After Su Ting finished speaking, Su Jing, being carried, opened her eyes weakly, looking at her sister in disbelief.

But just then, a figure walked directly to Su Ting’s side.

With a "click" sound!

Su Jing also saw that Su Ting’s hands were inexplicably handcuffed!

Su Ting turned her head in astonishment to look at Lin Xi beside her and asked, "Officer, what... what are you doing?"

Another "click" sound!

The hands of another officer’s handcuffs locked onto Su Jing’s hands.

After controlling the two, Chen Xiao’s voice came from behind the police officers:

"I’m Chen Xiao, the one you’ve been waiting for. The murderer just confessed an accomplice who participated in the murder with him."

Following Chen Xiao’s words, Lin Xi coldly said to Su Ting, "Su Ting, Su Jing, according to the testimony of the apprehended suspect, you are suspected of being involved in the murder of Su Haidong. We are now arresting you according to the law, please cooperate with our investigation!"

As he spoke, Chen Xiao walked up to Su Ting.

Looking directly at the young girl who was four to five years younger than him, he said, "Did you think you were safe?"

Fear already shimmered in Su Ting’s eyes, being desperately suppressed, yet the more it was suppressed, the more it surged.

She opened her mouth trying to question Chen Xiao, but he already stepped beside Su Jing, whispering something to her.

Su Jing heard and asked in disbelief, "Xiao Ting, Aunt Si Ying’s death has nothing to do with you, right? Tell me, it wasn’t you who betrayed Aunt Si Ying, right!"

Su Ting’s face turned completely bloodless, still staring fearfully at Chen Xiao, as if filled with endless questions.

Chen Xiao finally responded to her but only said one thing, "Do you remember the essay ’Tree’ you wrote? That’s your evidence!"

After speaking, Chen Xiao turned to face the reporters.

In that moment of turning, he saw the familiar Benz Tiger starting to leave again.

He knew Guo Qing couldn’t wait any longer and would surely park at the next spot waiting for him.

With a thought, Chen Xiao nodded to Liang Yan. The latter understood and said to the reporters, "Everyone, the Swallow Lane murder case has been mostly clarified. Our division will inform the public of the specifics later. Please disperse for now and don’t gather at the police station entrance!"

After saying this, Liang Yan and the police directly took the faintly awakening Su Jing and the still-dazed Su Ting back to the station.

Chen Xiao also slipped away as the reporters surrounded Liang Yan at that moment.

The reacting reporters immediately regretted, "What are we all doing at the station’s entrance? Mr. Chen has left, quickly take a few shots of him!"

"Darn, forgot the main thing, how to take pictures with only a back view?"

"Better a back view than nothing, make sure the caption says: Leaving without a trace after the deed is done!"

Chen Xiao paid no heed to those reporters, and after slipping away, he quickly found Guo Qing’s Benz Tiger.

Guo Qing opened the car door, smiling at Chen Xiao, "Mr. Chen, chat in the car?"

Chen Xiao nodded and got in, but once he sat down, he asked, "How are your brothers?"

"Don’t worry, they won’t be inside for long. And even if they went in, they’re all old hands, so don’t worry."

Chen Xiao made a sound of acknowledgment, asking no more, at which Guo Qing laughed, "Chen Xiao, you’re impressive, but I’m still very curious about how you managed to catch both of Su Haidong’s daughters?"

"There are three victims in the case. Su Haidong’s death is related to his eldest daughter, and the younger daughter is related to another victim’s death. As for the specifics, I suppose with President Guo’s resources, it won’t be hard to find out, right?"

Chen Xiao spoke calmly, and Guo Qing raised his thumb, "Even though I don’t know the specifics, I still have to express my admiration. In Dongzhou, it’s been a long time since there’s been a detective as fierce as Mr. Chen."

"President Guo deliberately arranged today’s event, not just to praise me, right?" Chen Xiao questioned.

Guo Qing gave a bitter smile, "Mr. Chen, don’t misunderstand, today I came to the division after getting the news you were about to crack the case for a legitimate reason."

"What legitimate reason?"

"I want to offer a reward. Swallow Lane is one of my company’s major projects. If someone commits murder there, wouldn’t that be looking down on me, Guo Qing? Therefore, I must state my determination at the division to fight against crime and evil!"

Chen Xiao’s eyes narrowed, and he smiled, "President Guo is indeed a seasoned man of the underworld; I have learned this trick."

"Ha, I’m doing this for Mr. Chen’s good. After all, my reputation in Dongzhou isn’t very good. If I directly gave you a sum of money, there would be trouble later on. At the very least, you’d need to present evidence that you received two million as a reward for helping me solve the case, wouldn’t you? To avoid future troubles, giving it to you as a bounty is the most suitable method."

"Moreover, Mr. Chen’s image should be known to the elder in advance. Only then will he feel at ease handing us matters when we go."

Though Chen Xiao always had his guard up against Guo Qing, he couldn’t deny that Guo Qing was indeed a resourceful person.

He seemed capable of foreseeing all sorts of troubles and aptly avoiding them perfectly.

Perhaps this was why, even though Guo Qing wasn’t a law-abiding character, one could do nothing about him.

"Alright then, since President Guo has gone to such lengths, just let me know when we set off."

Chen Xiao couldn’t refuse the deal with Guo Qing anymore, as he indeed covered all the bases.

Guo Qing smiled broadly, "Alright, Mr. Chen, get some rest for a few days. We’ll depart for the Provincial City then!"

Chen Xiao didn’t speak further and said goodbye to Guo Qing.

After getting off the car, Chen Xiao instinctively took out his phone to check the time.

Yet upon seeing the date on his phone, Chen Xiao suddenly paused in his steps.

Wait... did I miss something?
