When Chen Xiao and Shen Shuming returned to the lounge,

Lin Xi had also finished interviewing Su Qiu and Su He, the mother and daughter.

She even politely sent them off.

As she watched them leave, Lin Xi said:

"Su Qiu’s attitude towards Gao Qinfang is very vague. But I think she must know of Gao Qinfang’s presence, she just didn’t admit it immediately for certain reasons."

Chen Xiao had already anticipated this outcome.

He patted Lin Xi’s shoulder and said with a smile, "It’s getting late, let’s go eat first."

Lin Xi smiled and nodded.

From the relaxed expression on her face, Chen Xiao could tell that their trip to Hai City concerning the Jingguang Tomb case had been quite fruitful.

Pan Huiping, upon learning that they had gone to the police station’s cafeteria, immediately followed and paid for their meal.

After they sat down together, having understood the case, Pan Huiping couldn’t help but ask:

"So, did you find anything?"

"In the Marquis Jinguang’s Tomb case, we found footprints of thirteen people in total. The footprints of six people overlap with the six deceased, which means there were seven other people in the tomb at that time."

"Based on the current information, the Lin Family is highly suspicious. Additionally, the Deng Family also has people who are highly suspicious."

As Chen Xiao spoke, Lin Xi’s eyes lit up:

"Are you sure?"

"Shen Shuming told me that Deng Shuhui’s brother, Deng Xiang, is very skilled in Leg Skills, a characteristic that matches what we found in our previous investigation!"

Lin Xi nodded firmly: "So that means, out of the seven people, we have now identified two, leaving five more. To break through, we must find one of these five people and reveal the rest one by one!"

Chen Xiao took a sip of his drink and, after some thought, said:

"Whether we can catch one of the suspects depends on Shen Shuming. But for some reason, after talking to Shen Shuming, I have this strange feeling."

"What strange feeling?" Lin Xi instinctively asked.

Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "For some reason, I always find Lin Zumeng very unsettling."

Pan Huiping looked puzzled by this comment.

Even Lin Xi couldn’t help but say, "Is it because he’s already deceased?"

Chen Xiao paused and then said:

"Perhaps. Looking at it now, he seemed to be behind many things back then. It’s hard to feel at ease when a primary suspect in a case is no longer alive."

Chen Xiao spoke with a tone of caution.

He referred to Lin Zumeng as a suspect rather than the perpetrator.

Because based on the current information, Lin Zumeng is indeed the main suspect.

Lin Xi understood what Chen Xiao meant and said, "I suppose Shen Shuming will cooperate soon?"

"This matter can’t be rushed. Being too hasty might alert the guilty party," Chen Xiao said, not forgetting to remind Lin Xi:

"Remind Liao Group to stop arranging for people to go overseas and contact Deng Hu and Deng Xiang for now."

Lin Xi agreed and was about to make a call when Chen Xiao added:

"Also, have him summon Ye Jiadong’s daughter to have a video chat with us. Although suspects have appeared, and we can infer the details of the case back then to some extent."

"Still, we should prepare more for what’s to come, and it would be best to find out why Ye Jiadong got involved!"

"Okay, I’ll get in touch with Liao Group."

Lin Xi immediately called Liao Cheng without hiding it from Pan Huiping.

Soon, Lin Xi finished her call.

Pan Huiping put down her chopsticks and said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going. If you need any help, just let me know."

Chen Xiao wasn’t polite and said okay, after which Pan Huiping left.

Chen Xiao and Lin Xi also left the cafeteria and went to the lounge with their computers to wait.

During the waiting time, Chen Xiao sat in a chair and sorted out the case details.

As he said, the case has now reached a point where it can be roughly deduced.

The Jingguang Tomb robbery most likely originated from the Lin Family’s curse.

Lin Zumeng formed a team.

This team would have had Ye Jiadong as the head in professional matters.

Lin Zumeng’s people primarily had the responsibility to protect him and to eliminate threats.

Thinking about eliminating threats,

Chen Xiao suddenly felt that the Wu Family Sisters had no reason to be at the ancient tomb.

The sisters were just small shop owners selling miscellaneous goods on the street.

First, they had no relation to tomb raiding.

Second, they couldn’t possibly come into contact with someone like Lin Zumeng.

Third, they were in Hai City, making it even harder to connect them with Ye Jiadong, Jiang Pinggui, and the Wang Brothers in Jiang Province.

Chen Xiao’s train of thought was once again stuck on the Wu Family Sisters.

The existence of these sisters seemed extremely out of place with the entire incident.

And the more he thought about it, the more complicated the case seemed, causing Chen Xiao to have to shake his head, trying to remove the sisters from his mind for now.

Yet, with the case details all gathered, everyone involved should be considered.

Missing even one person could lead to errors in future investigations.

Lin Xi was also quietly thinking by his side.

When she saw Chen Xiao frowning, she couldn’t help but ask:

"Honey, are you troubled by Wu Qing and Wu Xue, the sisters?"

Chen Xiao couldn’t help but look at Lin Xi; "Looks like we’re thinking along the same lines."

"Yes, in the case, many people have a plausible reason for being involved. For example, Jiang Pinggui works for Ye Jiadong. The Wang Brothers, we can think they might have had contact with Ye Jiadong or even Jiang Pinggui."

"After all, they’re all from the Provincial City!"

"But the Wu Family Sisters? Even though they’re from Hai City and Ye Zumeng is also from Hai City. Realistically, there’s no way they have intersecting paths!"

Chen Xiao nodded emphatically but couldn’t add to Lin Xi’s words because both were stuck on the same issue.

The lounge fell silent once more.

But as they thought, the couple suddenly looked up in sync.

Yet, Lin Xi was the first to exclaim:

"Honey, we overlooked something!"

Although Lin Xi didn’t specify what it was, Chen Xiao was delighted and asked:

"Who was the first to know about the Jingguang Tomb, right?"

"Right!"

Lin Xi confirmed: "The Jingguang Tomb is an ancient tomb on Jingguang Mountain that has been there for who knows how many years, and by the time we knew about it, it had already been archaeologically excavated, causing us to overlook the inherent secrecy of the Jingguang Tomb itself!"

"So who first discovered this hidden ancient tomb? It’s unlikely to be Ye Jiadong!"

Chen Xiao already had a smile on his face and said word by word: "Someone said that on Jingguang Mountain there’s a large tomb, and when it’s opened, rivers of blood will flow!"
