Chapter 723: No, He’s Hiding Something—Something Big!

Watching the two young boys meet at the entrance of the police station.

Chen Xiao gradually slowed his pace, and the Power of Capture fully unfolded at this moment.

Everyone stopped instantly seeing him halt.

Cao Sun and Qin Fei both looked in the direction Chen Xiao was staring.

Upon seeing Ye Jun and Gao Yao encounter each other, everyone’s expressions subtly changed.

However, Chen Xiao didn’t pay attention to anyone else. It was as if he constructed a special space in his mind.

In this space, the flow of time seemed to slow significantly.

Regardless of whether it was Ye Jun or Gao Yao, their physical movements and even facial expressions appeared to be dissected by waves.

Chen Xiao could clearly sense that the various abilities he possessed had grown stronger with the increasing number of cases he encountered.

Yet, at this moment, all of Chen Xiao’s attention was focused on the two young boys.

The focus was first on Gao Yao.

As he walked into the police station, despite his efforts to appear calm.

Deep in his pupils lay profound fear.

That fear seemed to say: It’s over, this time it’s really over!

Just from this glance, Chen Xiao could determine that Gao Yao, or rather the Gao father-son duo, must be involved in something!

And inevitably, not a minor matter, but a big case, a serious crime!

Chen Xiao slowly shifted his gaze to Ye Jun.

The latter sported a typical buzz cut.

His face slightly sun-tanned.

His build was rather robust.

Even his face had quite a bit of acne.

In contrast, Gao Yao’s attire was much more fashionable.

Even his ears had a row of piercings!

Chen Xiao continued to observe Ye Jun.

Ye Jun’s eyelids drooped, appearing exhausted as if he had just completed a hard task.

As Gao Yao entered, Ye Changhuai was the first to stop.

His slightly surprised gaze stayed fixed on Gao Yao.

But this didn’t mean there was a problem with Ye Changhuai’s reaction, rather the policeman who helped Liu Dayou capture Gao Yao at this moment should still be angry.

Although Gao Yao wasn’t handcuffed, the actions were not gentle.

Ye Jun glanced at Gao Yao, then, like his father, showed a bit of puzzled expression.

Soon after, Ye Jun’s face was full of sudden realization.

This moment of realization made Chen Xiao’s heart skip a beat.

Why was Ye Changhuai consistently surprised, but Ye Jun was suddenly enlightened?

In a sudden thought, the reactions of this father-son duo were completely opposite.

Ye Changhuai, aware of the situation and understanding the purpose of coming to the police station today, should have realized why Gao Yao was there.

Yet he remained suspicious, while his supposedly naive child was the first to understand!

Unfortunately, that excitement was fleeting.

Chen Xiao quickly figured out the responses of both.

Ye Jun, realizing Gao Yao was brought along, perhaps because he was also brought for questioning.

As for Ye Changhuai’s suspicion, it entirely depended on the attitude of the county police.

He was puzzled about what Gao Yao did to be treated roughly by the police!

This was indeed a reasonable reaction for the father and son!

Chen Xiao sighed inwardly.

At this time, Liu Dayou also noticed him, happily waving:

"Bro, I’m back!"

With Liu Dayou’s shout, "I’m back," Chen Xiao instinctively smiled in response.

Ye Jun and the people outside the station also looked towards Chen Xiao, following Liu Dayou’s direction.

Chen Xiao once again used the Power of Capture to observe Ye Jun and Gao Yao.

Their responses were different once more.

Gao Yao grew increasingly panicked, to the point he lost interest in other people.

While Ye Jun glanced at him, then at his father, and his face remained calm.

All very normal reactions.

Chen Xiao had to withdraw his focused observation, smiling and nodding to Liu Dayou:

"Not hurt, are you?"

"How could I be! But still, I’m grateful to the county police brothers. Without them, today really could have capsized on this young punk!"

As Liu Dayou spoke, Cao Xiuyuan sensibly shook hands with the county colleagues, expressing gratitude.

The county police did not linger at the station; after brief exchanges, they left Xiaozhuang South Town.

Once they left, Cao Xiuyuan and Sun Zhou looked at Qin Fei:

"Qin Fei, this kid’s reaction clearly indicates a problem, how do you plan to handle it?"

Neither Cao Sun nor Chen Xiao and Qin Fei, really hoped Gao Yao would react after being captured, but Gao Yao’s reaction was too large, it didn’t fit the knife image in their minds.

Qin Fei glanced at Chen Xiao, understood the meaning, and smiled: "How about handing him over to Captain Sun’s colleagues for interrogation."

Sun Zhou excelled in interrogation, and the skilled men he brought, aside from Dou Zhihai, included others adept at this craft.

Sun Zhou nodded: "Alright then, leave this kid with me."

Having said that, Sun Zhou pulled Gao Yao towards the interrogation room.

Liu Dayou inquired from Chen Xiao: "Bro, aren’t you personally going to question him? That kid clearly has issues!"

"Undoubtedly, there are problems, but issues have priorities. What he did likely has no relation to the case we’re investigating, so to conserve our forces, Captain Sun won’t be involved in the interrogation process."

"We have more important matters to deal with!"

Liu Dayou was momentarily taken aback but said no more.

At this point, Cao Xiuyuan approached Chen Xiao and asked: "You mentioned having new issues to discuss with us, what are they?"

The sudden change forced Chen Xiao and the others to temporarily abandon researching Ye Jun’s alibi issue.

Now that Cao Xiuyuan brought it back up, Chen Xiao didn’t delay and said:

"I always felt Ye Jun’s second alibi has some problems."

Both Cao Xiuyuan and Qin Fei immediately reacted in unison: "You mean, it’s valid but not quite?"

Chen Xiao nodded: "Indeed, many people seemed to vouch for him, but considering the school’s characteristics and the spontaneous nature of boys his age, the second alibi is entirely meaningless."

"I’ve also considered, in Ye Jun’s dormitory, there were eight boys. Among them, two were quieter, one being Ye Jun."

"The rest, most of the time, are just killing time at school. When bored, they skip class to go online or engage in other activities, and they claimed to have seen Ye Jun in the dormitory, but in reality, the six only found him there the next morning."

"As for the other boy with a similar personality to Ye Jun, based on our understanding, many classmates have consistently rated him especially as a heavy sleeper. Average grades but generally quiet. Besides loving to sleep, no other issues."

"On the night Dou Zhihai was murdered, he went to bed early."

Chen Xiao nodded: "Given this, Ye Jun’s alibi doesn’t count, at least regarding the Dou Zhihai case. We cannot lift our suspicion of him."

Turning the subject, Chen Xiao added: "However, we have no evidence to prove his involvement in the case."

Cao Xiuyuan sighed: "Yes, we seem to have many suspected targets now, but actually no evidence points to anyone."

In the midst of helpless words, Chen Xiao looked at Ye Jun, who had already left the station and sat on his father’s motorcycle.

He appeared quiet, his hands holding onto his father’s clothing for stability.

But seeing the duo front and back, Chen Xiao’s previously furrowed brow suddenly relaxed.

"No, there’s a problem, Ye Jun earlier showed major issues!"
