Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife
Chapter 460: The Case Is About to Be Solved!
Chen Xiao and the police witnessing the scene don’t know what Black Cat is doing.
Even Xiaoji, who is halfway in, is a bit confused after seeing Black Cat’s series of operations.
After operating for a few minutes, Black Cat suddenly let out a strange cry.
"Wow, this is so thrilling!"
Xiaoji thought she had discovered something and promptly asked:
"Did you find anything?"
"I did, but it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with what you’re investigating."
"How so?"
"Because it’s all some raunchy stuff, want to take a look? It’ll broaden everyone’s knowledge?"
Upon hearing the words "raunchy," those who understood knew.
So, they all gave an awkward smile and politely declined Black Cat’s offer.
Soon, the operation continued.
After tinkering for a while, Black Cat restored some deleted files again.
She couldn’t understand them, so she asked Chen Xiao:
"I’ve restored some, Chen Xiao, do you want to check now or wait until everything is restored?"
"Wait until everything is restored."
"Alright."
Black Cat, with her two hands alone, kept tapping away on the keyboard, just like in movies and TV shows.
The police watching from the side had eyes filled with brightness.
Even when Pan Huiping arrived, seeing Black Cat’s skills, a hint of desire appeared in her eyes.
Nowadays, computer talent is extremely rare.
Such people are hard to come by.
But now is not the time to talk about it, so everyone quietly watched Black Cat’s performance.
For an unknown period, Black Cat, after doing a check, said:
"I’ve used my ability to fully restore all deleted files from these computers, but I don’t know if there’s anything you want."
Chen Xiao nodded: "Thank you, Xiaoji, take Black Cat to eat something, to a nice place."
"Got it, bro!"
Xiaoji immediately took Black Cat and left the detective team.
Seeing this, Pan Huiping was about to follow and chat, but Chen Xiao quickly called out:
"Captain Pan, strength is in numbers, why don’t we check together?"
Pan Huiping stopped and looked at the already distant Black Cat and Xiaoji, feeling a bit frustrated and said:
"So stingy."
Chen Xiao grinned, but Pan Huiping wasn’t bothered, she sat down to check the computer with Chen Xiao.
Finally, Chen Xiao found a clue in an email.
This email was sent to Deng Xiang a few days ago.
According to the date, it was the second day after the Provincial City announced a re-investigation of the Jingguang Tomb case.
The email content was short, just two words: It’s here!
Looking at these two words, Chen Xiao paused.
These words raise alertness.
Chen Xiao now habitually uses email, usually to notify business or receive important information.
But this email with only two words, and the date so close, made Chen Xiao have to suspect the email’s content.
Just then, Xiaoji and Black Cat returned from their meal, and the latter held a cup of fruit tea, sipping happily.
Chen Xiao glanced at Black Cat and said: "Little Cat, can you help me track down the person who sent this email?"
"Tracing? Shouldn’t be hard, I’ll try!"
Chen Xiao stood up as Black Cat operated the computer again.
She appeared calm, but it was clear Black Cat was very meticulous, constantly trying to search for more information.
Soon, Black Cat stood up again and opened a photo, saying:
"The one who sent the email should be him, named Xiang Xian, in his late forties to almost fifty, but he looks really young."
Upon hearing Xiang Xian’s name, Chen Xiao’s eyes narrowed.
He has an impression of this name!
It was a passenger on the same flight with Deng Xiang!
Chen Xiao immediately took out his phone and called Lin Xi.
The latter happened to be on the way back and asked: "What’s up?"
"Did you come into contact with someone named Xiang Xian?"
"Yes, is there a problem with this person?"
"Yes, he sent a suspicious email to Deng Hu. What was his reaction when you approached him?"
"He said he’s back in the country for leisure, we found him while he was at a scenic spot."
"Then get in touch with him again, preferably appear in front of him first and then bring him back."
"Okay."
After informing Lin Xi, Chen Xiao reviewed the information Black Cat traced about Xiang Xian.
Xiang Xian’s immigration timing is not much different from Deng Hu and son.
He is also a small business owner abroad, with cooperation with Deng Family.
But this time returning, Deng Hu and son were in first class, while Xiang Xian was in economy class.
Chen Xiao checked those restored emails again.
Chen Xiao discovered Xiang Xian had other communications with Deng Hu at different times.
The earliest stretches to when both moved abroad, and each communication is very short.
Deng Hu asks: Are you alright?
Xiang Xian replies: All good.
Deng Hu asks: Do you need help?
Xiang Xian replies: No need.
These email exchanges are very suspicious.
But the email contents, in fact, don’t reveal much.
Just when Chen Xiao was contemplating, Pan Huiping suddenly fixed her gaze on a photo in a document.
"Chen Xiao, look quickly!"
Chen Xiao immediately directed his gaze.
It’s still a photo!
Only the photo wasn’t intentionally taken, but accidentally captured.
The photo includes twelve...to be exact, thirteen people!
Because a man is holding a baby!
Among these thirteen, Chen Xiao can recognize several at a glance!
Lin Zumeng!
Deng Hu!
Ye Jiadong, Wang Brothers, Wu Family Sisters!
Jiang Pinggui!
Zhang Du!
As for the one being held, undoubtedly it’s someone Chen Xiao knows - Ah Yu!
And the person holding Ah Yu is Lin Zumeng!
Upon seeing this photo, Chen Xiao already felt seventy percent sure that the case is close to being solved!
Although there are still a few he doesn’t recognize, there’s no doubt, those should be Mr. Ke, Mr. Wan, and another Mr. Zhang!
Chen Xiao also wonders why Deng Xiang would secretly take this photo.
But upon careful speculation, it’s likely Deng Xiang’s means of holding leverage.
Because the Deng Family rises relying on the Lin Family.
If one can grasp Lin Family’s dirty secrets, then the Deng Family would have a chance to save themselves at a critical moment!
Seeing this photo, Chen Xiao thought he should go see Deng Xiang.
Getting up from the computer, Chen Xiao left Xiaoji in charge of further searches and went to see Deng Xiang himself.
Opening the inquiry room door.
Deng Xiang’s expression showed he was holding back a lot of anger.
So upon seeing Chen Xiao, Deng Xiang said in a deep voice:
"What do you police mean? You bring us in without asking a single question or saying when we’ll be released, are you playing with us?"
Chen Xiao didn’t waste words with him, only said:
"Deng Xiang, on the night of July 16, 1995, where were you?"
Deng Xiang’s eyes darkened slightly but still feigned disinterest and replied:
"Too long ago, can’t remember."
"We’ve already retrieved the deleted files from your computer, do you really want me to say we found the photo?"
