Chen Xiao noticed that he had indeed changed recently.
Maybe it's because the feng shui of where he was now wasn't good.
After all, this place had Zhang Xian!
Yes, Zhang Xian must be the reason why the feng shui of the Hongshan Branch's criminal investigation team is bad, otherwise, how could he be like Zhang Xian and keep thinking about the impossible possibilities?
If it was just Chen Yan himself claiming to be Chen Yan, then maybe whether he actually was Chen Yan was still debatable.
But if everyone in Yang Ziping's village knew he was called Chen Yan, is there still any doubt about it?
Chen Xiao felt he was overthinking it.
However, Liu Dayou was more enthusiastic: "How about I go in and bluff him again? You can pay
another five hundred, even with a 20% discount is fine!"
"Are you taking money out of ?"
Chen Xiao's face darkened.
Having been friends for two lifetis, how could Chen Xiao not know what kind of person Liu Dayou was?
The latter had an awkward smile, and after thinking for a bit, Chen Xiao instructed, "Just stay in the criminal investigation team and don't run around. If you run around and get caught by other police officers, I might not know you."
Leaving those words, Chen Xiao went directly to find Zhang Xian.
The latter was very busy, with Liang Yan accompanying him.
However, when he saw Chen Xiao, Zhang Xian still paused his work to ask, "How did the chat with Chen Yan go?"
Chen Xiao didn't cover up and straightforwardly said: "I suddenly had a thought, do you think this Chen Yan we caught could be an imposter?"
Zhang Xian's eyes widened instantly, and even Liang Yan was taken aback.
Chen Xiao wasn't in a hurry and seriously analyzed: "Look, that guy is like soone who has been off the grid since birth, with no birth records or even identification. Previously, the reason we were sure he was Chen Yan was because Yang Ziping's father brought Chen Yan to Sifang Village years ago and told everyone his na."
"Since then, Chen Yan beca the Chen Yan we encountered."
After Chen Xiao finished, Zhang Xian and Liang Yan said in unison: "So, he is Chen Yan then."
Chen Xiao remained calm: "Have you ever done an authentication?"
"What kind of authentication?"
"Handwriting, did we overlook this authentication?"
"Didn't he admit the notes were his writings? And it was actually him who supplented halfway through your speech, ntioning the notes left in the rental house." Zhang Xian replied.
Chen Xiao was montarily stunned, then smiled bitterly: "Seems like I really got influenced by you."
Zhang Xian frowned: "Stop talking nonsense, what does it have to do with ! Quickly, say, why did you say that?"
After hesitating a little, Chen Xiao still revealed the matter of Liu Dayou calculating the birth date and eight characters.
Zhang Xian and Liang Yan exchanged a glance, and Liang Yan even laughed out loud: "You, it seems you've really been influenced by soone deeply. Although our country's culture is profound from ancient tis to now, if it were an ancient person, I might believe it, but in today's world, how many truly have real skills?"
Zhang Xian didn't say anything, and after pondering for a mont, instructed Liang Yan: "When he's not paying attention, have him write so material, and then send it to the authentication departnt for examination."
It's not about checking evidence, so handwriting turns out to be sowhat important at this mont.
Upon hearing this, Liang Yan understood Zhang Xian's intention and nodded with so suspicion before leaving Chen Xiao's office.
After she left, Zhang Xian asked, "What's the story with your friend? It's rare to see you bring friends to the criminal investigation team, isn't it?"
"You ask , why not just check the surveillance yourself? You'll know after watching if my friend is any good."
Perhaps it was because of Chen Xiao, so Zhang Xian didn't mind investing his ti.
Only after watching the surveillance, did Zhang Xian find himself in disbelief.
"Is there really such a magical person in the world? Is there really such magical skills? Don't you dare tell
there is, or else why bother being a cop, I might as well beco his disciple!"
Chen Xiao also found it amusing, laughing as he replied: "Their line of work is really a mix of truth and falsehood, can't take it all seriously, nor all as fake, it can only be a reference."
Zhang Xian rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "That's true, but being able to scare Chen Yan like that is rare."
Chen Xiao nodded, and then Zhang Xian received a phone call.
He had to get back to work.
Chen Xiao didn't want to keep bothering, so after leaving the surveillance room, he went to find Lin Xi.
Once Lin Xi also got busy, Chen Xiao felt a bit aimless in the criminal investigation team.
Ultimately, he found Liu Dayou in the courtyard of the criminal investigation team.
The guy was arranging rows of pebbles on the ground; after watching for a while without understanding, Chen Xiao asked: "What are you doing?"
"Setting up a formation."
"What kind of formation?"
"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Exorcism Demon Array."
"Don't talk nonsense, co on… it's almost noon, I'll take you to scrounge a al."
Chen Xiao also realized he might have gotten sowhat spontaneously familiar with Liu Dayou.
But for him, in both past and present life, Liu Dayou was definitely a talent.
At least, the police uncles in the past life already tested him for Chen Xiao!
So Chen Xiao didn't mind what Liu Dayou might think.
Moreover, Liu Dayou genuinely enjoyed dabbling in business that bends the rules. In the past life, their very close friendship stemd from being hotown fellows and having both spent ti in detention.
Upon hearing about a free al, Liu Dayou kicked the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Exorcism Demon Array into disarray and obediently followed Chen Xiao into the car.
Chen Xiao was heading to Luo Dali's ho.
Not long ago, he received a call from Luo Sifu inviting him over for lunch.
Thinking about it, Chen Xiao had been back for quite a while and hadn't visited, although Luo Sifu occasionally called him proactively about Luo Dali and the ho appliance expansion.
Upon reaching the Luo family, Liu Dayou had a look and imdiately praised: "Whoa, a wealthy family indeed."
Chen Xiao didn't respond, and after entering with him, Luo Sifu imdiately welcod them: "Finally got you, the busy man, here, huh, and this is?"
"Liu Dayou, a buddy I just t." Chen Xiao replied with a laugh, then wrapped an arm around Luo Sifu's shoulder, teasing:
"Uncle Luo, you're distant with
today, especially in the tone you used earlier compared to when you used to scold
in the hospital. So, later, you owe
three drinks as self-punishnt, right?"
Luo Sifu laughed heartily: "Alright, alright, three drinks it is, no problem!"
The three chatted cheerfully as they went inside, and before long, Luo Dali and Xiaoji Knife Man also returned from outside.
Judging by their sweaty appearance, they'd likely been busy with Dongzhou's ho appliance expansion.
Seeing all three of them present, Chen Xiao took the opportunity to introduce Liu Dayou to them.
Liu Dayou wasn't a reserved character, so after chatting for a while, he imdiately hit it off with Luo Dali and his group.
However, not long after, Luo Dali ca over with a knowing look, saying: "Bro, is your friend a Daoist too?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Don't worry, later on, when we clink glasses, once you throw the cup down, Knife Man and I will tie him up. Hah, calling oneself a Daoist in front of us, guessing they don't know what bullets taste like!"
Chen Xiao kicked him directly: "That guy's surna is Liu, not Lou, get it?"
"What's that an? The way he looks, it seems like he's about to do sothing bad any minute, isn't this your trap to catch enemies?"
"You think I'm like you, how could I bring a major criminal in front of your parents?"
Leaving those words, Chen Xiao didn't say more and sat at the table, drinking with Luo Sifu.
Just halfway through the al, an unexpected phone call ca for Chen Xiao.
The call wasn't from anyone else; it was from his sister-in-law, whom he hadn't seen for a long ti—Lin Yao.
Seeing Lin Yao's number, Chen Xiao was a bit surprised.
Because Lin Yao rarely called him, he answered right away.
However, once connected, after Chen Xiao greeted her, Lin Yao didn't speak for a long while.
Chen Xiao frowned: "If you're not talking, I might just hang up, you know?"
"Brother-in-law, please no!"
With that, Lin Yao on the other end of the line burst into tears: "Brother-in-law, all my money was stolen, the money I saved for so long! All taken by those damn bike gangs!"
