The final words of Zuo Shu.
They consist of his fragnted mories over the years and the integration of the scattered doubts regarding the death of Xie Yan.
But the conclusion he reached is very close to the results of Chen Xiao's investigation.
Cao Chan is the daughter of the deceased couple Li Qian from the Luming Ridge case years ago.
And the Luming Ridge case was probably orchestrated by the three from Lian Da.
The deaths of the three from Lian Da might also be a sequel to the Luming Ridge case.
Xie Yan's death was to cover up Cao Chan's cris.
Just as Zuo Shu said, only by his death could he avoid the relentless questioning of his principles and duties!
All of this finally starts to seem reasonable and logical.
However, there is still one thing that doesn't make sense.
Why was Cao Chan able to drive the three from Lian Da to death?
Is it because she was a survivor and could identify them as the true culprits?
If so, why didn't Cao Chan report them directly?
Instead, she chose a way that was most unfavorable to her for revenge?
Her father-in-law is a police officer, and not just a low-level one!
Zuo Shu shares the sa doubts as him.
"The doubts I couldn't understand before could suddenly connect together from a clever perspective when I received President Guo's call. Because I was thinking, why would you contact ? Is there a possibility it's about a case rather than just business?"
"Setting aside business, if it's about the case, what would you want to ask
about? There's nothing else but the Luming Ridge case."
"Based on this reasoning, I began to suspect Wensheng's wife. However, President Chen, I still don't get if it's truly a case of an eye for an eye, why use such a foolish thod that results in such a ss?"
Zuo Shu looked at Chen Xiao.
But Chen Xiao did not answer because he did not have an answer either.
Everything seems reasonable, but there are still many areas that need explanation.
Chen Xiao shook his head, "I ca to you today to confirm one thing, whether Cao Chan could possibly be the survivor of Luming Ridge. Now the answer is clear, but as for the rest, I'm also at a loss."
Zuo Shu chuckled, and Guo Qing said, "Chen Xiao, how about letting the restaurant serve the food? You and Xiaoxi are both still hungry."
Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, "Yes, let's have a al first."
Guo Qing then instructed the restaurant staff to start serving the food.
However, at this mont, Chen Xiao received a call from Liu Dayou.
Chen Xiao stood up and left the private room to take the call.
"How's the divination?"
"The old lady's first divination was neither good nor bad. She probably had a decent life when she was young, but she's lonely in her old age."
Chen Xiao hadn't told Liu Dayou about the elderly Ye Suzhi.
So Liu Dayou's divination was indeed quite impressive.
But currently, the focus is not on Ye Suzhi, but on Cao Chan.
"What about the other one?"
"I can't see through it!"
Liu Dayou sighed helplessly.
Chen Xiao frowned, "What do you an by saying you can't see through it?"
"I don't understand, the divination is so chaotic, it's just... it feels like everything is fake."
Chen Xiao was startled.
Cao Chan's na is fake.
Therefore, her birth date and eight characters have likely been completely altered.
So, when Liu Dayou says it's fake, he isn't wrong at all!
"Perhaps the birth date and eight characters aren't real."
"No, no, no. I think saying the birth date and eight characters you gave
are fake is too simplistic. The divination is profoundly unfathomable!"
"Speak in more understandable terms." Chen Xiao was a bit speechless, Liu Dayou replied:
"It just feels like not everything is fake. For example, her birth year might be correct, but the month isn't right, the month might be correct, but the date isn't. If possible, Brother Chen, can I examine her bones by touch?"
Chen Xiao thought for a mont and replied, "Later, I'll let you know. By the way, are you still in the police station looking at the case files?"
"Yes, Xiaoji said reading more can broaden one's knowledge. I think it makes sense, but seeing so many cases makes
a bit worried, Brother Chen."
"Worried about what?"
"I'm afraid my mind will be severely impacted. Damn, so cases are really ssed up; soone could do so many dark things, I can't take it... "
Chen Xiao hung up before Liu Dayou could finish.
Returning to the private room, Chen Xiao chatted with Zuo Shu while serving food to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi whispered, "Aren't you tempted by President Zuo's earlier words? His thod could indeed bring significant benefits to Dragon Cauldron."
"I understand, and it could indeed be highly profitable. But such thods equate to stepping on official toes to gain benefits for oneself. I find it unwise because even if the current mont isn't counted, there's always the risk of repercussions later."
Lin Xi nodded in agreent, "True, but back to the point, how can all your previous discussions be made to make sense?"
Chen Xiao shook his head, "I don't know. I feel like this is the first ti I've encountered such an unexplainable case."
"Then don't think about it, let's enjoy our al."
"Yes, oh right... Dayou did manage to divine the reading, but he said Cao Chan's is ambiguous, with a mix of truths and lies that are hard to grasp."
After discussing this, Chen Xiao and Lin Xi didn't talk about the case further.
Before long, Zuo Shu smartly said, "Thank you for the dinner, President Chen."
"No need for thanks, President Zuo."
"I'm not just being courteous. You know, after tonight, we might beco adversaries."
Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, "Regarding Li Hai, both Guo Qing and I are taking it very seriously."
"Haha, then let's each play our part like the Eight Immortals, crossing the sea, showcasing our respective talents."
"Alright, I'll respond to every move you make."
Zuo Shu laughed heartily and then got into the car and left.
Watching Zuo Shu's car drive away, Guo Qing couldn't help but sigh:
"This President Zuo is indeed extraordinary. From its founding to now, Li Hai has only been around for ten years, but its scale and the fields it covers leave many companies far behind."
"He undoubtedly has experts supporting him, right?"
"Certainly, otherwise how could a forr low-ranked police officer achieve such great success? However, because he has soone backing him, he's becoming sowhat impatient for quick success. I heard that in his father-in-law's family, his influence is gradually waning. His father-in-law's family seems to treat him like a puppet on strings."
As Guo Qing spoke, Chen Xiao suddenly furrowed his brow.
Noticing this, Lin Xi asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xiao gestured to indicate not to interrupt his thoughts for the mont.
"A puppet on strings?"
"Why did hearing Guo Qing say this make my heart involuntarily tremble?"
"Did those four words trigger so deep-seated thoughts within ?"
"But what in my mind is related to the words 'puppet on strings'?"
As he pondered, Chen Xiao suddenly looked up and said:
"Could it be that soone has masterfully manipulated everything, using Cao Chan and Xie Yan as two puppets, while he is the puppeteer!"
