Chapter 724: Make Him Draw His Blade!

Chen Xiao’s voice wasn’t loud.

It was almost like a whisper.

Yet his tone wasn’t gentle, and it landed clearly in the ears of Cao Xiuyuan and Qin Fei.

The two looked at Chen Xiao in surprise: "Problem? What problem, whose problem?"

"Ye Jun!"

"Reaction!"

Chen Xiao responded to their doubts.

But Cao Xiuyuan and Qin Fei were still in a fog.

"What’s wrong with Ye Jun’s reaction? His reaction had been normal from the moment he saw Gao Yao."

"No, not when he saw Gao Yao, but when he saw me!" Chen Xiao’s tone was no longer a whisper, but stated the final answer with absolute certainty.

Cao Xiuyuan was also skilled at observation.

But when he heard Chen Xiao say this, his eyebrows were still full of confusion.

Chen Xiao also saw their doubts, so he didn’t beat around the bush and began to explain in detail:

"What kind of person is Ye Jun? Whether he shows it or through our understanding, his image is very introverted and seems to have little attention to external affairs."

"Simply put, he’s a very honest kid!"

"So with this image, would he care about me?" Chen Xiao asked rhetorically.

Liu Dayou was the first to shake his head: "Probably not, you’re not from Zhushan."

Qin Fei thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, if he showed curiosity towards Captain Cao or Captain Sun, it would be normal. But if his attitude is abnormal when facing you, then there’s really a problem."

Cao Xiuyuan kept frowning, as if he understood something, but also seemed a bit baffled.

Chen Xiao didn’t wait for him to speak and said directly:

"When Dayou brought Gao Yao, all his reactions were normal. But why do I say he’s odd at this time? The reason is when Dayou called out!"

"Huh? What did I call out?"

"You called me Brother Chen!"

"Uh, what about it?"

"He was almost the first to look up and accurately look in my direction!"

At that moment, Cao Xiuyuan’s face changed dramatically, exclaiming:

"Was he the first to look up? They looked over at us almost simultaneously."

"No, I can be very sure that under my gaze, he was the first to look up and didn’t even observe what Dayou was looking at; he was the first to look at me!"

"Damn, it really is him!" Cao Xiuyuan said without thinking in a deep voice.

Qin Fei, after mulling it over for a few seconds, said with a look of disbelief:

"His reaction means he already knew we were behind him watching them!"

"Moreover, his reaction indicates he knows Chen Xiao!"

"If Ye Jun was really someone who’s not interested in external affairs as he portrays, how could he instinctively be the first to look towards Chen Xiao?"

"His actions clearly show he had researched Chen Xiao long ago. Moreover, when we were observing them, he suspected someone was behind him!"

"So when he heard Brother Dayou shout out Brother Chen, his body instinctively confirmed that the person watching him from behind was Chen Xiao!"

Chen Xiao nodded: "Right, if he had no issues, he wouldn’t be interested in the name Chen Xiao."

"If he had no issues, he wouldn’t have recognized that Brother Chen was calling you!" Cao Xiuyuan also added.

Chen Xiao smiled and looked at everyone.

Cao Xiuyuan took a deep breath: "Even though his reaction isn’t evidence enough, as detectives, we should react sharply to this. In this instance, Chen Xiao is indeed much better than us."

"So now, based on Chen Xiao’s observation, we must investigate Ye Jun; there’s a high possibility he is the knife."

"Yes, we all suspect he is the knife now, but where do we start to confirm he is the knife?" Chen Xiao countered with a question.

The question is challenging.

Because personal feelings can never become admissible evidence in court.

We can’t just arrest Ye Jun based on Chen Xiao claiming his reaction towards him was abnormal, can we?

That would be considered far-fetched, nonsense in court.

Cao Xiuyuan and Qin Fei seriously pondered, but they really didn’t have any particularly good methods in their minds.

Both of them shook their heads, and Chen Xiao took a deep breath: "There is a way, but it’s not promising."

"Let’s hear it." Cao Xiuyuan was eager to listen once he heard there was a way.

"I have a friend who is extremely skilled in network technology. We have already obtained information about his contact with Professor Yuan on the forum. With this, my friend should be able to track his online activities."

"However, it’s clearly impossible to fully acquire his identity through this, but it can be used to wait for him to take the bait."

Qin Fei understood the implication: "You mean to make him reveal the knife again?"

Chen Xiao’s intention wasn’t exactly this.

But when Qin Fei mentioned waiting for him to take the bait, Chen Xiao’s eyes brightened:

"Are you suggesting he reveal the knife, right?"

"Yes, isn’t your idea to fabricate Professor Yuan being harmed? The difficulty is that we couldn’t possibly find another bait like Professor Yuan." Qin Fei showed a look of helplessness, but Chen Xiao’s eyes brightened even more:

"If Ye Jun is the knife, does he really have the urge to kill someone like Professor Yuan? No, the ones he truly wants to harm are the police!"

"The relationship between him and Ye Changhuai as father and son, or rather their family, isn’t harmonious and happy as we thought. Deep down, Ye Jun probably harbors a dark side he has never revealed."

"So, Captain Qin, Captain Cao, do you know how to reveal the knife?"

There was a slight pause for Cao Xiuyuan and Qin Fei when asked, but soon they understood Chen Xiao’s real intention:

"You... intend to use yourself as bait?"

Chen Xiao nodded with a smile: "Youthful arrogance is an advantage that allows young people to accomplish great things, but often it’s also a glaring flaw! Their arrogance gives them no room for patience in many instances."

"So, I might as well confront him directly, tell him, and provoke him!"

"When I directly tell him that I have uncovered everything about him, his mind will grow rebellious. He will hate me and choose to kill me directly."

"Because he has already succeeded!"

"But what if he repeats his tricks and doesn’t target you, but targets someone else to hit you?" Cao Xiuyuan asked.

Chen Xiao looked directly at Liu Dayou, asking: "Are you afraid?"

Liu Dayou hesitated for a moment, then realized, exclaiming: "Brother, do you want me to use my charm?"

"Seriously, using you as bait, are you scared?!" Chen Xiao’s voice became serious!
