"Li Jindao?!"
Chen Xiao exclaid in disbelief.
But the situation was urgent.
Chen Xiao didn't dwell on it and said, "You all co over right now to keep an eye on Peng Yuanqing. I'll go and see what Li Jindao is up to here!"
"Okay, Brother Chen."
Chen Xiao hung up the phone and imdiately headed out.
Not long after getting in the car, Chen Xiao saw Li Jindao's vehicle.
Chen Xiao rolled down the window and fixed his gaze on Li Jindao in the other car, shouting, "Pull over!"
Li Jindao saw Chen Xiao too, his expression very grim.
After a quick turn, Li Jindao continued to run.
Chen Xiao frowned, caught up with Li Jindao again, and shouted, "Stop the car!"
Li Jindao gave him a cold look and sped up again. The sound of the car whizzing drowned out Chen Xiao's voice amidst the noise.
But with one misstep, Li Jindao crashed directly into a utility pole, forcing the car to stop.
Li Jindao sat in the car, speechless.
Using the front of his car to block the rear of Li Jindao's, Chen Xiao finally got out.
Chen Xiao opened Li Jindao's car door and said with a frown:
"Get out of the car."
Li Jindao's face was sullen: "You planted a spy outside Peng Yuanqing's house?"
"I thought it might be a bit challenging to keep an eye on you, but watching Peng Yuanqing shouldn't be a problem."
Li Jindao: "So you knew everything all along, huh?"
Chen Xiao kept frowning but still pulled Li Jindao down.
"What do you want to tell ?"
Li Jindao said in a deep voice, "Since you know everything, why play dumb?"
"Let's talk about it back at the station. Soone will co to drive your car away later."
Li Jindao suddenly sneered: "You think you can just take
away like that? Let's see if you've got what it takes!"
As soon as he finished talking, Li Jindao tried to exploit his carefully prepared position to catch Chen Xiao off guard.
But as soon as Li Jindao made a move, Chen Xiao had already grabbed his wrist with one hand, and in the blink of an eye pressed Li Jindao's head against the car body with the other.
Li Jindao widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Did you really only use half your strength last ti?" Li Jindao exclaid.
Chen Xiao smirked: "To be exact, I held back a bit, only about thirty percent strength."
Li Jindao was left speechless, eyes wide open.
When Chen Xiao straightened him up again, Li Jindao closed his eyes and said:
"I deliberately tried to test your skills by matching strength with you. I thought you were using full strength, at least seventy to eighty percent, but I didn't expect you to be this good."
"It's aningless to talk about that now, but you've reminded
that I can't take you away alone."
As Chen Xiao spoke, it wasn't long before officers from the local police station arrived.
After showing their badges, the local police personally arranged for two officers to sit in the back and keep Li Jindao under control.
Soon, Chen Xiao took Li Jindao to the criminal investigation team.
Qin Fei approached, glanced at Li Jindao, and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Put him in the interrogation room; I'll co by later to ask so questions."
Qin Fei nodded and had soone take Li Jindao away.
"So what's the situation now? It seems Li Jindao is indeed very suspect, otherwise why did he go to Peng Yuanqing's house, and then run as soon as he saw you?"
Chen Xiao frowned as he looked at Li Jindao's retreating figure: "Given the current situation, he is indeed the suspect."
Qin Fei detected the implication in Chen Xiao's words.
"Quite the coincidence, isn't it? We had just concluded his suspicion was low, and yet he shows himself."
"That's precisely why I think there's sothing off." Chen Xiao said, pausing before continuing: "Anyway, I'll go have a chat with him and see what he's actually thinking."
After saying this, Chen Xiao walked forward, with Qin Fei following.
But after only a few steps, Chen Xiao suddenly stopped and said, "Captain Qin, go and check on Li Jindao's records, especially about the things between him and his wife."
Qin Fei was stunned: "You an there's still a possibility Li Jindao is taking the bla for soone else?"
"I've encountered similar cases. Sotis, among multiple suspects, one would rather sacrifice himself to protect others. Of course, self-sacrifice requires certain conditions, so look into Li Jindao and his wife Gu Rong's matters."
"What about Li Xi?"
"No need to investigate Li Xi. Through and through, Li Jindao might be willing to sacrifice for him, as he's Li Jindao and Gu Rong's only son."
Qin Fei nodded: "Alright, I'll get soone to dig deeper."
Just as Qin Fei was about to leave, Chen Xiao called out: "Wait, Captain Qin, there's sothing else that needs so intentional arrangent!"
Qin Fei stopped, and Chen Xiao whispered a few words into his ear.
Hearing this, Qin Fei was taken aback, then gave a thumbs up and quickly left.
Chen Xiao watched Qin Fei leave and, after thinking to himself for a short while, turned towards the interrogation room.
But as he reached the door of the interrogation room, Chen Xiao couldn't help but think of soone.
Zong Yuanmao!
From Guo Zhengchang, Chen Xiao learned that Zong Yuanmao and Chen Xianzu had been involved in the hotel business in Xiangdu.
In his conversation with Li Jindao, it was ntioned that he also has hotel investnts in Xiangdu.
In that case, would Zong Yuanmao, the veteran in Xiangdu's hotel industry, and Chen Xianzu know anything about Li Jindao?
With this in mind, Chen Xiao dialed Zong Yuanmao's number.
The latter was pleasantly surprised to receive Chen Xiao's call.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, what brings you to call?"
Chen Xiao replied, "President Zong, are you busy right now?"
"Not at all, absolutely not!"
"Well then, I'm calling to inquire about soone. Do you know a shareholder of Lebosi Hotel nad Li Jindao?"
"Lebosi?"
Zong Yuanmao's tone was peculiar, prompting Chen Xiao to ask, "From the sound of it, Chen Xianzu wouldn't be on familiar terms with him, right?"
On the call, Zong Yuanmao's tone wasn't of confusion, but rather a reaction of surprise and slight anger upon hearing the na.
"Well, Xu Zaisen has quite close dealings with Lebosi."
"If that's the case, I'll get in touch with the Dongzhou Police. Thanks, President Zong."
"No need to be formal, Mr. Chen. If you ever need anything from , feel free to ask. And you're always welco to visit Xiangdu!"
After responding, Chen Xiao hung up and then called Lin Xi.
"Hello, hubby, how's the case going?"
"There is a suspect, but I want to dig in further. Can you see Chen Xianzu right now?"
Lin Xi was also puzzled: "How did it involve him?"
Chen Xiao explained the situation, and Lin Xi understood: "I see, then I'll make a trip to the detention center. He's currently held there awaiting further trial."
"Alright."
Without saying much more, Chen Xiao put down the phone and entered the interrogation room.
Li Jindao sat there calmly, only speaking when he saw Chen Xiao arrive:
"I thought you'd leave
hanging for a long ti."
"No need for that. Playing psychological gas with an experienced person like you isn't the best tactic."
Li Jindao chuckled: "Then tell , why did you bring
in?"
"To ask you so questions, of course. But before we start, I'd like to talk about soone."
"Who?"
"Xu Zaisen."
Li Jindao froze, subconsciously saying, "Xu Zaisen? You know him? I thought I heard he committed murder and then got caught... wait, you were the one who caught him?"
Li Jindao finally realized it.
Chen Xiao nodded with a smile, "That's right, I'm the one who caught him. And his real na isn't Xu Zaisen; he's actually Chen Xianzu, my cousin!"
Li Jindao's mouth dropped open in shock.
