Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chen Xiao did not get the answer he particularly wanted to know from Huang Hao.

But there was some gain from the communication with Huang Hao.

However, the gain from Huang Hao made Chen Xiao feel that his preparations were almost complete.

If he continued to prepare, it might end up being overkill.

So he put everything about the case aside and decided to take a trip to Dragon Cauldron while he was still in Shencheng City.

And along the way, say hello to some old friends.

For instance, Song Ru, the father of the deceased in the Xiaofeng Village case, Song Zhen.

Although Song Ru was just an ordinary businessman, he took quite good care of Chen Xiao during his previous visits to Shencheng City.

Chen Xiao visited many places for most of the day, and it wasn’t until late at night that Song Ru reluctantly saw him off.

The night passed idly.

Chen Xiao did not ask Qin Fei about the Yunshan Group matters because Guo Qing had already received a call from Xin Di, the chairman of Yunshan Group.

The cooperation among Dragon Cauldron, the Qi Family, and Yunshan was already a foregone conclusion.

Without worries, early the next morning, Chen Xiao and Qin Fei met up and headed for the Provincial City of East Province together.

They needed to start from the Provincial City and then head to Xiaozhuang South Town.

In the Provincial City, Chen Xiao also quickly met up with Liu Dayou. With Liu Dayou, Qin Fei was happy to hand over the driving duties to him.

It seemed that Liu Dayou had been quite idle during this period.

After all, the matters Chen Xiao left in Dongzhou involved little for Liu Dayou to do other than going to the Lobster Base with Old Chen every day.

Now being able to set off with Chen Xiao again, Liu Dayou chatted non-stop about recent events all the way.

When he finished, Chen Xiao teased, "Haven’t you been to Hai City lately?"

"Of course, I have," Liu Dayou blurted out instinctively, then quickly smiled and said, "Every time I go, it’s with President Dai to discuss business layout with that old boss of Zhaolitong."

Suddenly hearing the names Dai Hong’Er and Huang Zhaozhong of Zhaolitong, Chen Xiao felt he was quite an irresponsible behind-the-scenes boss.

As for the matters of the Dongzhou mobile phone factory, ever since handing it over to Dai Hong’Er and Hong Mei, Chen Xiao never asked a thing.

Now, about the establishment of the factory, Chen Xiao only knew from the meeting reports that the factory has been built and is currently in the stage of recruiting workers and setting up production lines.

However, Dai Hong’Er is full of confidence.

When one is full of confidence, one hopes to do everything efficiently, so she has already visited Hai City to see Huang Zhaozhong no less than three times.

In his spare time, Liu Dayou is tasked with driving for Dai Hong’Er.

Thinking about this, Chen Xiao felt he should find some time to have a heart-to-heart talk with Dai Hong’Er.

After all, Dai Hong’Er is the most important capable officer in Chen Xiao’s business empire.

Chen Xiao quietly arranged the next affairs in his mind and reminded himself to remember.

As the journey progressed, Qin Fei had unknowingly fallen asleep after several hectic days.

Seeing him resting, Chen Xiao and Liu Dayou also refrained from chatting too much.

After driving for over three hours, Liu Dayou finally entered the range of Xiaozhuang South Town.

Chen Xiao woke Qin Fei, and the latter quickly took out his phone to call Cao Xiuyuan.

Soon, Liu Dayou drove to the special task force’s base.

It was right at the town police station of Xiaozhuang South Town.

After the three arrived, Cao Xiuyuan was neither enthusiastic nor cold.

"Have you had lunch? If not, I can have three servings prepared for you?" Cao Xiuyuan asked casually.

Qin Fei shook his head, "No need, Brother Xiuyuan, you’d better arrange what we should do today."

Cao Xiuyuan smiled and said, "The other materials of the case are already in my office. After you guys finish reviewing them, you can carry on with your own work."

Hearing this, Qin Fei was taken aback, "Is there no unified arrangement?"

"You came late; everyone else in the task force already has their tasks, and everyone’s too busy to have repeated meetings for unified arrangements."

Qin Fei understood the point.

Although a bit puzzled, he didn’t ask further.

Chen Xiao also felt this was better, saving time from getting to know people.

The information he wanted had always been about the case details.

Soon, Cao Xiuyuan took them to the office.

After entering the office, Cao Xiuyuan brought out the video materials:

"Here are all the surveillance videos of Professor Yuan Keyu’s residence floor and the building. Please review them carefully. If there are any questions, give me a call."

Cao Xiuyuan led them in and then seemed uninterested in managing anything further.

This made Liu Dayou feel that his Brother Chen was underestimated, as after meeting, it seemed that Cao Xiuyuan didn’t speak much with Chen Xiao.

Once Cao Xiuyuan left, Liu Dayou immediately took out an old tortoise shell from his pocket that Chen Xiao hadn’t seen for a long time.

Hearing the clinking sound coming from the shell, Qin Fei looked surprised, "What’s this for?"

Back when Chen Xiao took Liu Dayou to Shencheng City, they investigated the Yang Lake Phantom Case and the Jiang Anguang murder case together.

However, in these two cases, Qin Fei had a very low presence and rarely interacted with Chen Xiao and the others, so he didn’t know Liu Dayou’s special skill.

"Dayou has a skill not possessed by ordinary people; he... can do divination and predict good or ill." Chen Xiao explained with a smile.

Qin Fei was instantly surprised, "That’s amazing! Then, Brother Dayou, can you help us see if this trip will be smooth?"

Of course, Qin Fei wasn’t superstitious.

It’s just that, since Chen Xiao said so, his curiosity was piqued.

But Liu Dayou shook his head at this moment, then with a sly smile asked, "Brother Chen, Captain Qin, do you know the birthdate and eight characters of that Leader Cao just now?"

Chen Xiao immediately understood what Liu Dayou meant and replied seriously:

"Keep an open mind; our arrival at the task force is different from what you understand."

Liu Dayou seemed to understand, yet still insisted, "Brother, don’t forget that besides divination and bone reading, I’m also good at face reading."

Chen Xiao’s brows instantly furrowed, "What do you mean?"

"Hard to say, can’t be too clear, I just had a not-so-good feeling when I first saw that Captain Cao," Liu Dayou explained the real reason.

Chen Xiao immediately looked at Qin Fei.

He wasn’t very familiar with Cao Xiuyuan, so he didn’t know the latter’s birthdate and eight characters.

Qin Fei was skeptical, asking tentatively, "Chen Xiao, is this really necessary?"

"If it’s too much trouble, forget it. If not, try to find out his birthdate and eight characters," Chen Xiao replied.

Qin Fei nodded slightly, "Most of us have our birthdates calculated according to the lunar calendar, so knowing his year, month, and day shouldn’t be hard, but for the exact hour... I’ll think of a way."

Saying this, Qin Fei walked to the side and made a phone call to someone!
