I'm a street kid, but my wife, a policewoman, won't divorce her

Chapter 256 Old bed, scratches!

Chen Xiao took Lin Xi to Changlong Village.

Walking in the village, it didn't take long to arrive outside Lian Yuhong's house.

Looking at the closed door, Lin Xi took Chen Xiao's arm and asked:

"It's easy to tell from your words that the case twelve years ago was extremely difficult. Have you thought about where to start?"

Chen Xiao glanced at the villagers coming and going in Changlong Village, shook his head and said:

"There is no particularly good way now. The only thing we can do is to investigate based on the interpersonal relationships at the time."

“Is there no information available in the case files from that year?”

Chen Xiao thought for a while but did not answer. Instead, he filed another case:

"When I went to Qingxi to investigate the Xiaofeng Village case, I studied the case files over and over again, but in the end I forgot all the contents in the case files. Do you know why I did that?"

Lin Xi was puzzled.

Chen Xiao said with a smile: "I don't know if my feeling is right, but since I came into contact with criminal investigation, I feel that personal opinions and even experience on the case are crucial. The reason why I forget about the Xiaofeng Village case The content of the case file that I have seen is, if nothing else, to forget about Captain Zhang, Captain Yue, and Captain Liu’s views on the case.”

"I feel that once those opinions are deeply remembered by me, they will affect my judgment many times. Of course, solving crimes often requires the advice of many people."

"So when facing the case of the Phantom of Yanghu, I want to forget about Senior Xie's investigation first and only remember the characters in it. Then, I want to change the investigation in a new direction."

Lin Xi understood the meaning: "Mr. Guo seemed to have told me that you were the first one to suggest that Guo Ning should no longer be investigated as a key figure in the case, right?"

"Yes, so I'm thinking about the case of the Phantom of Yanghu. Should I investigate Xie Yan as a key figure?"

Lin Xi's eyes were startled: "Isn't this unreasonable?"

"It's unreasonable. Xie Yan is the investigating police officer. Because the case happened, he entered the investigation as a police officer, so no matter how you think about it, he shouldn't be the key figure in the case, but..."

Chen Xiao changed the topic: "But if my suspicion that Lian Da, Zhu Mao, and Chang Guan are related to Xie Yan is true, then he can be investigated as a key task."

"So what you're saying is that the deaths of Lian Da, Zhu Mao, and Chang Guan are most likely related to a case against Xie Yan? Doesn't that mean that Xie Yan will retire at that time?"

Chen Xiao couldn't explain this problem and said with a smile:

"This is just a direction that no one has tried before. As for the conventional investigation direction, I think Senior Xie has actually done a very good job."

"Although the criminal investigation techniques 12 years ago were limited, I felt from the case file that the veteran had rich criminal investigation experience, which means that there were no mistakes in his investigation. Since there were no mistakes, why was he trapped in the suicide and unable to get out? The reason There is only one thing, and that is to check it without conventional means."

"Can't even use conventional thinking!"

"Have you discussed this idea with Captain Xie Wensheng?" Lin Xi asked.

Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head: "This is what I suddenly thought about when you came."

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Normally, you should be in Dongzhou now. But because of my words, you happened to see that there were tickets to buy, so you came to accompany me abnormally!"

Lin Xi snorted: "It's abnormal for me to accompany you! Huh, and you can still think about the case after seeing me. It seems that I am not that important."

"I admit my mistake!"

"What's wrong?"

"No matter where I go, I'm wrong, but I have to explain that I only thought of it after the fact!"

"You're so big, you don't know that I feel like my whole body is falling apart."

Although he was scolding, Lin Xi, who was holding Chen Xiao's arm, hugged him tighter.

Chen Xiao smiled, looked ahead and said, "Let's get back to the car first, and I'll take you to visit Captain Xie's hometown."

Lin Xi nodded, followed Chen Xiao into the car, and then went to Xie Wensheng's hometown together.

The latter's old house is no longer inhabited, but there are still many people in the village. After arriving at the place, Chen Xiao said, "Do you know why I brought you here?"

Lin Xi thought for a while and replied: "The case happened in this area, the deceased was also from this area, and even the investigators were from this area. If we analyze it from this point alone, my husband... will focus on Xie Yan’s body is very correct!”

As he spoke, Lin Xi looked at the sparkling Yanghu Lake in the distance and said seriously:

"If we could find out whether something big happened in this area twelve years ago, it would be better to investigate!"

Chen Xiao looked at Lin Xi and couldn't help being shocked by her growth.

"No wonder Captain Zhang and Sister Liang said you are a lucky star!"

Lin Xi chuckled: "Are you shocked by your wife and my growth rate?"

Chen Xiao nodded unabashedly, and Lin Xi smiled and scolded: "Idiot, that's because I am your wife. You are so good now, and I don't want to hold you back."

Chen Xiao smiled and did not continue talking about this issue.

Then he took out his cell phone and called Xie Wensheng, asking him to send someone to deliver the keys.

Xie Wensheng did not refuse, and immediately had the key delivered to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao took the key and opened the door. As soon as he entered and looked at the clean old house, Lin Xi couldn't help but say:

"Team Xie's family members must be very clean, right?"

"Yes, I went to see old Mrs. Ye Suzhi. She is also an old lady who loves to be clean."

Lin Xi hummed, but looked at the old house and couldn't help but ask: "This old house is so empty and there is nothing left. What do you want to find?"

"I'm not looking for anything on purpose. After I leave here later, I will go to the nursing home and check the belongings left by Xie Yan."

Lin Xi didn't say anything, and Chen Xiao started observing in the main room.

This is his second time here, but the first time was at night and the light was not good.

After observing during the day, Chen Xiao paid special attention to the walls and the marks on the old furniture that had not been moved.

These traces can make it easier for Chen Xiao to understand Xie Yan's previous life.

After quickly walking around the main room, Chen Xiao went to Xie Yan and Ye Suzhi's bedroom.

Except for a wooden bed, there was no wardrobe in the bedroom, so it was almost empty.

Chen Xiao was still observing everything in the bedroom as before.

Just looking at it, Chen Xiao found some scratches on the left side of the wooden bed!

Seeing him staring at the edge of the bed, Lin Xi couldn't help but walk over. When she saw scratches, she also said strangely:

"The marks look like they were scratched by fingernails, and there are so many marks. Why do you think the person sleeping on this side is suffering?"

As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, Chen Xiao immediately called Xie Wensheng.

"Hey, Captain Xie, was the left side of the wooden bed in the bedroom where your parents slept used to be where the old man slept?"

Xie Wensheng replied: "Yes."

"What's with those scratches on the edge of the bed!"
