Chapter 620: Dog Interrogation!

In the office.

Chen Xiao was deep in thought.

Qin Fei was the same.

He didn't think he had considered everything thoroughly enough to be complacent.

He knew very well that Chen Xiao's previous reasoning was not flawed.

The reason he thought of it and Chen Xiao didn't include it was simply because Chen Xiao had been dealing with this case all along.

He went to West Origin City.

Huang Zhao was the one he suspected.

And Qin Fei felt like he was picking at Chen Xiao's issues.

Soon, Chen Xiao's furrowed brows relaxed, and Qin Fei quickly asked, "Did you think of what might be the cause?"

Chen Xiao shook his head, "No. And if this issue can't be explained, then all my previous reasoning is wrong."

Qin Fei opened his mouth, but Chen Xiao was very clear, saying, "Investigating a case is inherently a process of finding and solving problems. Since this issue has arisen, it must be resolved."

Qin Fei nodded.

At this point, Chen Xiao also stood up, and Qin Fei couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a clearer guess about Zhu Nianying's whereabouts, Mr. Chen?"

"To put it vaguely, she might be with someone we all can't imagine. To put it crazily, could Zhu Nianying be with Chang Quezi?"

When Chen Xiao said this, Qin Fei was struck like by lightning.

Could Zhu Nianying be with Chang Quezi?

Indeed!

Chang Quezi is living more and more comfortably now, with a beautiful young wife accompanying him in his later years.

If he's not living well, who is?

But he offended a very fearsome gang leader, yet he's doing better, does that mean they are two of a kind?

Only this could usually explain Chang Quezi's problem.

Seeing Qin Fei's completely shocked expression, Chen Xiao laughed, saying:

"Don't be so surprised, they say anything is possible, but also everything is impossible. I'm just saying it casually, it doesn't mean I really think it's possible."

"But the Sacred Heart Church is so mysterious, many people could be one of those three."

"Let's investigate step by step, everything exists for a reason. For now, the most important thing in front of us is still what we decided before."

Qin Fei said, "That's right, solving cases is also about elimination, bit by bit, filtering and resolving."

Chen Xiao didn't say anything more.

As for Zhu Nianying's whereabouts, Chen Xiao didn't tell Qin Fei, he internally leaned toward the possibility that she was near Huang Zhao.

Because he felt the key to this problem might lie in psychology.

If the murderer had a soft spot for Zhu Nianying, he wouldn't be at ease handing her over to anyone else.

There was also the story of Zhu Nianying that Chen Xiao had heard.

Those stories, whether debunked or not, a mix of false and true, who can really know?

After greeting Qin Fei, Chen Xiao left the city bureau.

He didn't go back to his residence, instead driving alone to the street with the clinic.

He was observing the surroundings, also selecting the best location to keep Huang Zhao under surveillance.

Because he was focused, Chen Xiao was almost oblivious to everything else.

But just then, a very fierce dog bark suddenly startled him.

"Woof woof!"

"Woof woof woof woof!"

Following the bark, Chen Xiao looked over, and a smile appeared on his face.

It was Duoduo, the dog involved in a multiple murder case.

However, this dog really does hold grudges.

No matter how many times Chen Xiao ran into it, it always bared its teeth and looked like it wanted to tear Chen Xiao to shreds.

But this dog was also very cunning, it knew very well it wasn't a match for Chen Xiao, so it would usually attack with sound waves, never daring to take actual action.

Coincidentally, Chen Xiao was pondering something and felt a bit headache.

Amused, he decided to walk towards Duoduo.

"Woof woof... whimper!"

Duoduo's throat occasionally let out a growl like it was about to launch an attack.

Chen Xiao directly reached out to press its head.

"Little guy, you're being a bit much. It's true I caught your owner, but if I hadn't, someone else would've."

"It's better to resolve enmities than add to them, how about we make peace today?"

Duoduo was pinned to the ground, its four legs kicking continuously.

Chen Xiao laughed, although he let go of his hand, he still grabbed it by the scruff.

If he didn't hold it, the dog would surely bolt and continue plotting how to get back at Chen Xiao.

Unfortunately, Chen Xiao simply didn't care.

He just glanced at the dog's bowl next to him.

It was filled with some dog food, and sausage among other things.

But those foods remained untouched, yet quite a bit of leftover scraps on the ground had been eaten.

Chen Xiao sighed:

"A good, principled dog, would rather eat leftover scraps than touch police-fed sausage. Surely those police officers must be quite troubled?"

"But how do you recognize them? Do you remember their uniforms, or can you recognize people? Logically, they shouldn't wear uniforms to feed you, and even if one person fed you, you'd not eat, another would come."

"Yet you won't touch it… alright, I'll just assume you're a dog who can recognize people."

Chen Xiao muttered and then, under Duoduo's extremely humiliated gaze, he made it sit.

"Sit properly, now I have a few questions to ask you, you better answer honestly!"

Acting fierce, Chen Xiao then took out a photo of Zhu Nianying:

"Take a good look at the girl in the picture? She's a doctor at Huang Zhao's traditional Chinese medicine clinic, and she worked on this very street a few years ago, do you know her?"

Chen Xiao inquired.

Duoduo turned its head away, not sparing even a glance.

Chen Xiao found it amusing, questioning whether he was too idle to be arguing with a dog.

But the more Duoduo resisted him, the more Chen Xiao wanted to interrogate.

After forcing its head to turn back around, Chen Xiao asked again, "Do you know her?"

Duoduo, being compelled, glanced at the photo.

Though his original intention was just to amuse himself with Duoduo, unexpectedly, upon seeing the photo, Duoduo's tail wagged instinctively.

The instinctually wagging tail and Duoduo's body fluttering suddenly changed Chen Xiao's expression.

"No way?"

"This is impossible, right?"

"Good dog, your tail, your demeanor totally gave you away!"

"You know her? And you're close with her, aren't you?"

Chen Xiao continued asking.

But Duoduo couldn't answer him, remaining stubborn enough to turn its head away again, baring its teeth.

Chen Xiao patted its head, "Good dog, I apologize to you. Do you know her? And the memory of her in your dog… oh no, in your mind should be recent, right?"

Just when Chen Xiao relaxed his guard, rubbing Duoduo's head, Duoduo suddenly twisted and darted away with a 'whoosh'.

Watching the dog run for its life, Chen Xiao instinctively took chase, eyes full of hope!
