Chapter 643: Wife!

When he saw the delivery guy, Chen Xiao felt that his long-lost luck had finally returned once again.

Of course, if he had tried to find this delivery guy, it wouldn’t have been very difficult.

But a detective trusts his own instincts beyond judgment, sometimes intuition is even more unreasonable.

At this moment, he personally encountered that delivery guy.

This makes one wonder if there’s some kind of indication in all of this.

Chen Xiao sat down directly beside the guy with a tray of food in his hands. The latter was stunned for a moment, then politely smiled at Chen Xiao and moved aside a little.

Chen Xiao glanced at the food on the guy’s plate.

The meal was simple, just rice and vegetables.

"Buddy, why are you eating so simply? People need to eat; you shouldn’t save on food." Chen Xiao started the conversation.

The guy shook his head with a smile: "I don’t like meat."

Seeing him say this, Chen Xiao didn’t continue the topic, but said directly:

"Hey buddy, this is the second time we’ve met. There are some things I want to ask you about."

"Second time meeting? Did I deliver food to you?"

The guy was quite surprised.

In these times, food delivery wasn’t prevalent.

Being a delivery person wasn’t a common job, mostly suitable for part-time work.

"No, you delivered food to my friends, look... it’s them."

Chen Xiao took out the photos of Xiaoji and Black Cat.

Once the delivery guy saw them, he suddenly understood: "I thought so, if I’ve delivered to someone, I’d generally remember. So today must definitely be our first meeting. But these two young people, I do remember, they probably live in Shenglan Bay."

"That’s right, you’ve got a good memory."

"Oh, so what do you want to ask me?"

"Those two have disappeared, just less than two hours after you delivered to them this afternoon, they vanished."

Upon hearing this, the delivery guy was shocked: "Gone? How could that be!"

"They truly are missing. I’ve already reported it to the police, but they have no leads either."

The delivery guy didn’t know what to say for a moment and was even a bit worried.

Chen Xiao keenly sensed his emotions and chuckled:

"Don’t worry, it was just a coincidence that I bumped into you at this fast-food place. I don’t think their disappearance has anything to do with you."

The guy was relieved: "That’s good. Honestly, I was worried you might take me to the police station, and nobody knows how long one might stay there. If I can’t go home, my daughter will definitely cry."

"Hmm? Raising your child alone?"

"Yeah, a couple of years ago I had an accident, almost ended up paralyzed for life. Her mother didn’t want to drag me down, so she left with someone else. Now it’s just me and my daughter."

"I see, well, I’ll keep it short. I’ve checked the surveillance at Shenglan Bay, and you’re the last one who delivered food to them. So when you delivered, did they say anything to you?"

The guy replied almost without hesitation:

"They didn’t say anything, just took their food and paid me, and I took the money back to the store."

"Did you notice anything unusual with them?"

Chen Xiao asked again, and the guy shook his head.

Chen Xiao frowned, wondering if he was just assuming too much?

Just as Chen Xiao was puzzled, the delivery guy suddenly said:

"Oh right, they did leave me a tip, the most generous guests I’ve encountered, a total of 66 yuan!"

Xiaoji was really something now.

Ordering delivery and leaving such a tip.

But in the next second, Chen Xiao asked: "Why such a tip?"

"It was quite a coincidence. Their food order plus my delivery fee totaled 134 yuan. When they gave me the tip, the girl was also surprised and mumbled a bit, but the young guy was really generous!"

"I don’t mean to say anything bad about the girl, but even I thought giving 66 yuan was a bit much. Couples, no matter how wealthy, should still save. But since you asked, I thought I’d give you the details."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, saying: "So it was the young guy who insisted on giving you a 66 yuan tip, right?"

"Yes, he initially took out 200 yuan, and I gave him change, but when he saw the 66 yuan, he said it was a lucky number representing smoothness in everything, so he gave the change as a tip."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao finally smiled.

What does 66 yuan mean?

It surely means everything is going smoothly!

Xiaoji had taken the change but gave it back to the delivery guy, wasn’t it clear?

He was sending a message.

He and Black Cat were doing well, well means safe and sound!

"Thanks, buddy, the information you gave me is very important!" Chen Xiao got up and went to the fridge, asking with a smile, "Buddy, let me get you two bottles of cold beer and add a couple of dishes, no rejecting."

Chen Xiao happily provided a rather sumptuous meal for the guy.

The latter seemed a bit embarrassed: "It’s just a small thing, you’re being overly generous."

"No problem, a pity I’m driving, otherwise I would have had a few drinks with you."

"Haha, what a pity, if we meet again in the future, we’ll drink then."

"Sure, but if someone else asks you about this later, just tell the truth, but don’t mention the tip."

"No problem."

They chatted as they ate, and Chen Xiao finished the meal with the delivery guy.

However, the guy was in a hurry to get home to his daughter, so he finished quickly and left.

Afterward, Chen Xiao also left the restaurant, driving towards a hotel to book a place to stay.

Once he got the room at the hotel, after taking a shower, he sent a message to Old Gui, then started chatting with Lin Xi.

As time ticked by,

it wasn’t clear how much time had passed before Old Gui finally responded.

Upon entering the room, he quaffed a bottle of water and then said:

"President Chen, I’ve arranged for people to look for them, but I’m afraid there won’t be any news soon."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Old Gui smiled: "Oh, it’s my duty as I’m on President Guo’s payroll."

Chen Xiao looked at him without saying more or asking further questions.

Before the case is fully resolved, regardless of whether Old Gui is involved with feelings, it’s not wise to stir things up.

Chen Xiao let out a weary sigh, saying: "Let’s call it a day. I’ve been running around all day and am tired. Let’s rest early and continue searching tomorrow."

"Yes, President Chen, don’t worry, everything will be fine."

Old Gui reassured, and Chen Xiao agreed, the room gradually falling into silence.

But just as Old Gui was about to leave for his room, there was a knock on the door.

Both Chen Xiao and Old Gui were surprised.

"Go open the door."

Old Gui replied "Alright" and went to open it.

Upon seeing the person outside, Old Gui was stunned and asked:

"Who are you?"

"Is Chen Xiao still out?"

Upon hearing the voice outside, Chen Xiao jumped up from his bed.

"Wife!"
