Zhang Xian's smile was eerie.

But the scene he described was even more terrifying.

A dog appeared in sight, carrying a head, and just imagining it was already frightening.

Just as Zhang Xian finished speaking, Han Zai unceremoniously kicked him.

"Talk properly, why put on such a ghostly act? Haven't I told you that as a people's policeman, you must always maintain your image?"

Zhang Xian shrank back, quickly grinning and scratching his head.

Chen Xiao cleverly morized this rare scene in silence.

However, Han Zai soon spoke: "On the way here, I had a feeling. I was thinking, if the perpetrator was soone else, hiding Cheng Qing's skull in the stone lion would make sense."

"But until you found that twenty-thousand remittance clue, I felt this was completely illogical."

"The perpetrator of a murder case might be mad, but killing an outsider while implicating their own family is rare. Although Feng Shui seems mysterious, I always feel that the fact this discipline has been passed down through the ages holds so truth."

"Nowadays, most people don't believe in it, yet many hold it in reverence. So hiding a head in the stone lion at one's own door is completely unreasonable."

"Now that you've actively and passively ntioned it, all my doubts are resolved. Not a wasted trip!"

Han Zai said as he stood up, Zhang Xian seeing this remarked; "I and the teacher have so other business to attend to in the neighboring county, so we have to leave now."

Chen Xiao was surprised: "Teacher Han can't stay for a al? After chatting with you today, I've benefited greatly!"

"I'll skip the al, it's just that I'm old now, otherwise I really should settle the old scores of almost ruining my plans years ago. You know the fugitive in the mountains back then was extrely vicious. If you had fallen into his hands, there wouldn't be such an excellent Chen Xiao now!"

Speaking of which, Han Zai expressed more sentintality: "Ti truly flies like a fleeting horse. That little King back then has grown to be this outstanding!"

Chen Xiao grinned slightly: "Teacher Han, let's not bring up old stories, I... will see you off."

"Alright."

With Chen Xiao seeing him off, Han Zai left the Chen Family, waved goodbye after getting in the car.

Once they left, Lin Xi couldn't contain her joy, saying: "Looks like Teacher Han really appreciates Chen Xiao!"

Old Chen was a bit confused: "That Teacher Han had a big position...?"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xi shook her head: "No, Teacher Han was only a captain in the end. But years ago, Teacher Han dared to confront Mr. Guo, his energy can't be judged by his personal office."

Old Chen nodded, seemingly in understanding, finally pulling his wife back into the house.

Lin Xi waited for Chen Xiao to return and asked: "Did Teacher Han's arrival clear up your muddled thoughts?"

"Yes."

"Since they have cleared up, why do you still look so worried?"

"I'm thinking about Chen Ding." Chen Xiao replied.

But the next second, Chen Xiao slapped his pocket.

He didn't have his cellphone with him!

Realizing this, Chen Xiao imdiately dashed towards his room.

His appearance even startled Lin Xi.

Chasing into the room, they saw Chen Xiao hurriedly pick up his phone to return the call.

At this mont, Lin Xi understood why Chen Xiao was suddenly so anxious, her heart unconsciously began to pray.

Please answer the phone!

Please let nothing go wrong!

"Hello, Brother Chen... what's wrong?"

"Are you alright? Where's Xiaoji Knife Man?" Chen Xiao asked.

Xiaoji replied: "Just ca back to my room to sleep, he's sleeping so deeply like a pig."

Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, not caring what happened last night, quickly said: "You must imdiately go and follow Lu Yuling, rember not to let her notice you're tailing her. And I'll have soone contact Xiangdu Police right away, they'll secretly help monitor Lu Yuling."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoji suddenly sobered up.

"Brother, why has it suddenly beco so serious!"

"It's precaution as usual, I'm worried you won't just go to Xiangdu, soone else might target Lu Yuling to kill her as a witness!" Chen Xiao said.

Xiaoji's expression tightened: "Is the situation really this tense now? Besides monitoring Lu Yuling, what else should we do?"

"You must find out who Lu Yuling's boss back then really was!"

"Understood, we'll act now."

After hanging up, Chen Xiao finally relaxed after setting the phone down.

"Fortunately, they're both fine. I was really shocked when I realized it earlier, Chen Ding was equally aware of Lu Yuling's existence with , and it was even him who saw the bill first!" Chen Xiao said relieved.

Lin Xi was equally relieved: "Yes, I was a bit panicked when I figured it out too. Luckily they didn't get in trouble, otherwise, we wouldn't know how to make up for it as a couple."

Speaking of this, Lin Xi changed the subject: "But speaking of which, if they're safe could it an Chen Ding really doesn't have suspicion of leaking information? Or Chen Ding really has no connection to the case?"

"Impossible, as long as the perpetrator is from the Chen Family, then Chen Ding must have so connection to the case! Without his financial support, how could Songtan Town develop the Songtan Dog at brand!"

Chen Xiao directly dismissed that possibility.

Lin Xi thought for a mont, her expression also beca serious: "What's going on with Lu Yuling then? Can't the boss behind her actually be Chen Ding? But although Chen Ding's business has been declining these years, in '95 it wasn't to the extent Chen Yuan gave him twenty-thousand right?"

Chen Xiao also frowned: "Can't be certain, sothing still seems obscure and unclear. And now I have a hunch, I feel the boss behind Lu Yuling likely has big issues!"

"I even suspect he's from the Chen Family! But the Chen Family has nobody left. Chen Yuan is dead, his four sons—two dead, one is in custody, and another is right under my nose, could it be Chen Yuan indeed has an illegitimate child?"

"If so, he surely sired too many sons!"

As Chen Xiao was muttering, Old Chen brought out large bags from the room.

All of them were gifts sent previously as apologies by Chen Ding.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask: "Dad, why are you taking out all these cigarettes and liquor?"

"How can I drink so much good liquor? I've kept so of these cigarettes too, Xiaoxi needs to return to Dongzhou today, you guys can take them for Dali and the others to enjoy."

Old Chen said, placing bottle after bottle of liquor and carton after carton of cigarettes into his car.

Looking at those bottles, Chen Xiao's scalp tingled, his hand instinctively grabbed Lin Xi's wrist.

Lin Xi was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, seriously saying: "Honey, do you think soone could be faking their death!"
