Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 94: Why Was the Red Bridal Veil Used?

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Why Was the Red Bridal Veil Used?

Chen Xiao suddenly felt like he was about to become a skeptic.

Especially after learning about the story between Lou Xiaodong and Yu Gui’s father, Chen Xiao found himself somewhat suspicious of Lou Xiaodong. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Because Lou Xiaodong had the qualities of the target he was suspicious of.

After a brief silence, Chen Xiao continued to speak nonchalantly, "I’ve now been involved in a few cases and understand that some criminals truly make you want to beat them to death. For example, the child abuse resulting in death case that the elder encountered; if it were me, I might not have controlled myself either."

"That’s true, but if I had controlled myself back then, that guy would’ve gotten the death penalty eventually. Anyway, it was reckless of me. It was just a punch, I didn’t expect it would really kill him."

Chen Xiao picked up the conversation, "The elder Lou was part of the police force, you must have been quite skilled, right?"

"When I was in the police team, I was like this." Lou Xiaodong raised his thumb, implying he was top-notch in the police force back then.

Chen Xiao nodded in agreement, but Lou Xiaodong kept sighing, "What a pity, things have changed now."

"The elder is still a role model for us. Even though you’re no longer a police officer, you’re still shining brightly."

Although Lou Xiaodong smiled, he couldn’t hide the sadness in his eyes.

Chen Xiao didn’t ask more, and the car steadily drove towards Qingxi City.

When they finally arrived, Lou Xiaodong didn’t enter the police station but said to Chen Xiao, "You go in by yourself, Hu Yue is waiting for you inside."

"Okay, I’ll go in then."

"Yeah, see you tonight."

Chen Xiao was a bit surprised, and Lou Xiaodong explained, "After getting out of prison, I opened a night stall in the city. Hu Yue said you were of great help, and I must treat you to a meal tonight."

"Oh? So tonight I can taste the elder’s cooking."

"Haha, don’t call me elder, just call me Brother Lou since I’m a bit older than you."

"Alright, Brother Lou, see you tonight!"

Lou Xiaodong waved with a smile and then drove away.

Not long after, Hu Yue also came out of the police station and said to Chen Xiao as they walked, "All five victims are in the forensic department. I’ve already notified them. You can come with me to take a look."

Chen Xiao paused, "Does this arrangement break any of your team’s rules?"

"No, I’ve discussed it with the higher-ups. They want to solve the case even more than we do due to the significant pressure."

After changing into their gowns, Chen Xiao followed Hu Yue into the forensic department.

In the examination room, Chen Xiao saw five bodies, including Guo Ning.

This was the first time Chen Xiao had entered a forensic examination room and the first time he had seen so many bodies together.

He admitted that he was emotionally touched.

Although these deceased people could no longer move,

looking at their cold shells, his heart still felt heavy.

Chen Xiao took a deep breath and put on the gloves handed to him by the forensic scientist.

At this time, Hu Yue interjected, "After returning, I had a call with Zhang Xian."

Chen Xiao looked at him unexpectedly and asked, "Did you tell him about the case?"

Hu Yue shook his head, "No, I only talked about you, which is why I decided to bring my mentor to meet you. On the phone, Zhang Xian said your skills are impressive, and that you seem to have a strong resonance ability."

The term "resonance ability" seemed to be a name given by Zhang Xian.

In Chen Xiao’s words, it would be the Power of Construction.

Hu Yue had seen Chen Xiao’s simulations, so he also viewed it as Chen Xiao’s resonance ability with the case.

Chen Xiao didn’t bother to explain, and he began examining the victims’ wounds in turn.

First was Ye Wei, then Song Zhen, Guo Ning, and finally Qin Zhao.

Hu Yue quietly followed behind, and after Chen Xiao finished checking Qin Zhao’s neck again, Hu Yue asked, "Any thoughts?"

"Qin Zhao did indeed suffer from multiple neck twists."

As he spoke, Chen Xiao asked a female forensic scientist, "Forensic colleague, do you have any dolls here?"

"In the forensic department, you won’t find a girl who likes playing with dolls," the female forensic scientist joked.

Chen Xiao chuckled bitterly and nodded, "Alright then, I’ll just have to describe it."

"When the culprit first broke his neck, Qin Zhao was already dead. But the culprit kept twisting his neck, which seemed redundant but perhaps expressed their mindset—just my personal opinion."

"The culprit wanted Qin Zhao to keep looking at him, even if Qin Zhao’s head fell powerless to the ground, they still lifted it up to let him look again. I suspect Qin Zhao treated the culprit similarly in the past."

To make it more vivid, Chen Xiao looked at Hu Yue, "It’s like me and Captain Hu. I am Qin Zhao, targeting Captain Hu. Might Captain Hu feel defiant, but I want you to look at me repeatedly to recognize who you are facing!"

With this explanation, the other forensic scientists understood the meaning.

The female head of the forensic department couldn’t help but walk over to Guo Ning’s body.

"Actually, Guo Ning’s death is quite special too."

After the female head spoke, Chen Xiao nodded, "Yes, Jin Meng was pierced through the neck, making survival impossible. Song Zhen was straightforward—his head was cut off, also ensuring no chance of survival. Ye Wei was pierced through the heart, the same."

"Only Guo Ning had an attack that might not have been immediately fatal, although it ultimately was."

The female head nodded subconsciously, "That’s right. I even suspect the culprit observed her for a while after hitting her skull. If this guess is correct, could it relate to Qin Zhao?"

Chen Xiao raised his thumb but did not say much more.

He was already very familiar with the forensic records of when they were found.

He was merely there to see it with his own eyes.

After viewing for a while, Hu Yue, seeing the time was late, smiled, "That’s it for now, Chen Xiao. This is your first time at our team. Why don’t we go to my mentor’s for a simple meal?"

"Alright, Brother Lou mentioned it. But is now convenient for Captain Hu?"

"We all need to eat, no matter how busy. I can spare some time," Hu Yue replied with a smile.

Seeing him say so, Chen Xiao started to walk out.

But after walking a bit, Chen Xiao suddenly stopped.

Hu Yue asked, "What’s wrong?"

Chen Xiao: "Since we’re here, let’s do everything. Is the red cover in the evidence department?"

"Yes."

"Could we bring it over? I’d like to cover Guo Ning with it."

Hu Yue didn’t refuse, "Alright, I’ll have someone bring it over."

Chen Xiao went back into the examination room again. After the red cover was brought over, he carefully covered Guo Ning’s head with it.

Once covered, Chen Xiao’s brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn’t help but say:

"It’s not right. Why give Guo Ning a red cover? Why? Just because Qin Zhao heard Guo Ning and Yu Gui’s mother talk about wanting a simple wedding ceremony? But they didn’t mention a traditional red-covered wedding, did they?"
