Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 382: You Really Are Your Father’s Favorite Son!

Wu Kuan stared blankly at Chen Xiao.

As if he had been immobilized.

His reaction further confirmed Chen Xiao’s suspicions.

So he didn’t bother to ask Wu Kuan if his guess was correct, instead he said seriously:

"That is the crucial evidence you used to extort money from your father, so you kept it, right? Hand it over to me, and we’ll talk about the money!"

At this moment, Liu Dayou also realized what was happening.

He glanced at his sister’s hair, then recalled the deceased Wang Hao’s hair.

His eyes widened in an instant.

In terms of hair length, the two seemed similar!

As for the hair color, they were naturally black.

Though it’s likely his sister’s hair fell on Wu Guansheng.

After all, the clothes of the Wu Family were washed and folded by his sister.

And during daily interactions, it was possible for her hair to end up on Wu Guansheng.

But, could there be another possibility?

That Wu Guansheng, while committing murder, didn’t notice the deceased’s hair falling on him?

Although the possibility was slim.

But you couldn’t say it didn’t exist!

Thinking of this, Liu Dayou, without saying a word, grabbed Wu Kuan’s wrist.

"Wu Kuan, you know Brother Chen, I was just driving for him, I could borrow tens of thousands from him anytime. If you really help with this, then money is no problem!"

It wasn’t that Chen Xiao had too much money to spend.

But dealing with a gambler like Wu Kuan, money would simplify matters.

Of course, deceiving a gambler like Wu Kuan was a tacit understanding between Chen Xiao and Liu Dayou.

But at this moment, Wu Kuan turned quite filial.

He looked at Chen Xiao warily and said in a deep voice, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, what hair? I don’t know!"

These words clearly revealed Wu Kuan’s meaning.

If Wu Guansheng could hear this, he might feel that this wasteful son of his wasn’t completely useless.

Liu Dayou was momentarily frustrated, speaking more seriously:

"Wu Kuan, we are representing the police now. If you don’t cooperate, then we’ll have to take you to the police station."

Liu Dayou threatened.

Chen Xiao looked into Wu Kuan’s eyes, then patted away Liu Dayou’s tight grip on Wu Kuan’s wrist.

"Let him go!"

"Whether there’s hair or not, he knows better than us. If later we’ve confirmed that hair is problematic, we’ll arrest them both."

"Only it’s uncertain if those two women will be able to hold onto Wu Guansheng’s lifetime savings once both are arrested."

Upon hearing this, Wu Kuan’s expression changed drastically.

He still had some brains.

He knew that if Chen Xiao went back on his word, he would gain nothing.

But from Chen Xiao’s serious tone, he realized the situation was severe!

"My dad... what exactly did he do?"

"Murder!"

Chen Xiao didn’t hold back, bluntly uttering the two words.

Wu Kuan’s eyes widened instantly: "That’s impossible, I’m with him every day, and he was doing business in Hai City, how could he kill someone!"

"We came from Hai City ourselves! And if you were really always with him, how could you absurdly suspect your wife and father had issues?"

Wu Kuan opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word.

Chen Xiao patted Wu Kuan: "We’re all adults here, and your father’s fortune will be yours someday. Whether he hands it to you now or after a hundred years, what’s the difference?"

"Moreover, he’s in trouble now, and though he’s your father, a smart person would know how to choose. You still have a mountain of debt to pay, and surely you have a conscience, an old mother to support, and two daughters to raise, right?"

While surviving on Phoenix Street, Chen Xiao had met far too many gamblers.

Did those gamblers see themselves as heartless?

No!

Genuinely mad gamblers wouldn’t even consider themselves heartless.

They self-hypnotize in countless ways.

Because they have one goal, to recover their losses.

They possess a mysterious self-confidence, believing that once they recoup their losses, they’ll turn over a new leaf and be good to their parents and children.

At this moment, Chen Xiao was playing on Wu Kuan’s psychology.

After he finished speaking, Wu Kuan finally began to waver.

"That’s Xiaoying’s hair, I’m quite sure!"

"Then tell us what exactly happened that day."

"Because of a losing streak, Xiaoying found out I lost some money, and she wouldn’t stop nagging. I lost my temper and hit her, then she packed her things and went back to Xiuzhou."

"But when I called home, my mom said she wasn’t there! Then my dad vanished weirdly after Xiaoying left!"

"But I didn’t suspect anything, just felt uneasy thinking about how my dad secretly gave Xiaoying money. Until that night, dad came back looking exhausted and carelessly threw his clothes on a chair."

"I originally just wanted to tidy up for him but found a long hair on them. Still, I didn’t suspect Xiaoying, just wondered if my dad was keeping a mistress, so I kept that hair to expose him for my mom."

"Who knew, today someone said they saw Xiaoying and my dad entering this hotel one after the other!"

Wu Kuan explained everything.

Chen Xiao nodded with a smile: "I see, so where’s that hair?"

"It’s at my home, I’ve hidden it," Wu Kuan said.

Liu Dayou couldn’t help but sigh: "You’re truly a good son to your father."

Chen Xiao didn’t say more, and Liu Dayou knew what to do next.

He directly opened the door and led Wu Kuan out.

On the way to the Wu Family, Wu Kuan’s eyes were wandering, lost in thought.

Chen Xiao was also pondering Wu Kuan’s words.

Initially, the possibility that the hair was evidence seemed low, but now it had skyrocketed.

Because Liu Xiaoying had already left that day.

While the returning Wu Guansheng appeared exhausted!

Of course, that doesn’t definitively say the hair could be the victim’s.

The possibility of it being Liu Xiaoying’s is still high!

Chen Xiao mused along the way and soon reached the Wu Family.

Liu Dayou was somewhat excited, opening the car door before stopping completely.

On the contrary, Chen Xiao didn’t rush, checking his phone to see a message reply before getting out of the car and entering the Wu Family.

Shortly after, Wu Kuan returned with a transparent bag from his bedroom.

Inside the bag was a long strand of hair.

Looking at the hair, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.

The hair follicle appeared intact to the naked eye!

It didn’t look like it had fallen accidentally, but was pulled out deliberately!

If so, the likelihood of it being Liu Xiaoying’s hair decreased again!

Just then, as Chen Xiao was about to take the hair, Wu Kuan suddenly asked:

"Officer Chen, does this count as a contribution? Will the police reward me for this?"
