Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Why Must Everything Revolve Around You?
If you have wealth like Guo Zhengchang, you usually have a family doctor.
Chen Xiao led the maid directly to the doctor.
The maid was timid and hesitant, but Chen Xiao didn’t want to delay treatnt ti. He saw that the maid’s reaction was genuinely concerning, fearing there might be a risk of a heart attack.
The doctor, seeing that she was brought by Chen Xiao, imdiately examined the maid.
Fortunately, Chen Xiao had noticed in ti, and the maid wasn’t in a dangerous state yet.
After so initial treatnt, the doctor said seriously, "You should thank Mr. Chen, otherwise if this had been delayed further, a heart attack would have been a certainty. However, I still suggest going to the hospital, as my presence here is only to handle ergencies."
The maid was scared and quickly got up to express her gratitude.
Chen Xiao shook his head, "No need, sister. Listen to the doctor and go to the hospital. No matter how important money is, losing health is aningless."
Just after he spoke, Guo Zhengchang’s voice ca from outside the door, "The car is ready, hurry to the hospital. Don’t worry, you’ll still receive your salary, but that’s purely out of respect for Mr. Chen."
The maid was genuinely grateful now, nearly moved to tears.
Once the maid had left, Chen Xiao imdiately said to Guo Zhengchang, "Mr. Guo, let’s talk in the study."
Hearing this, Guo Zhengchang instantly understood the aning, nodded silently, and headed straight to the study.
Back in the study, Guo Zhengchang couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Chen, have you discovered sothing?"
"It’s not really a discovery, but the maid gave
a reminder just now."
Guo Zhengchang: "What do you an?"
Chen Xiao looked at Guo Zhengchang and said, "Perhaps, like the previous special investigation team, I have been too focused on your Guo family."
Guo Zhengchang suddenly froze.
He understood what Chen Xiao ant.
At his age, he couldn’t be so stubborn as to not accept what Chen Xiao was suggesting with one sentence.
The reason he was startled was that despite eting many detectives, it was the first ti he heard sothing like this.
This made him question himself.
Yes, why must everything revolve around our Guo family and Guo Ning?
Just because she’s my granddaughter, everyone investigates her during the case.
But after all that investigation, what have they found?
Nothing?
So, is it possible that this case happened because of soone else?
Was it Ye Wei? Qin Zhao? Song Zhen? Or Jin ng?
Wrong!
It could be anyone!
This series of thoughts led Guo Zhengchang to bow deeply to Chen Xiao.
This gesture left Chen Xiao a little puzzled, "Mr. Guo, what are you doing?"
"Only at this mont has Mr. Chen really earned my respect, and I finally understand the capability of a detective involved in the three major cases in three days!"
"With this bow, I am asking you. Please, I want to entrust my granddaughter’s case entirely to you!"
Guo Zhengchang spoke from the heart, while Chen Xiao simply nodded, "For Ye Wei, Qin Zhao, Jin ng, and Song Zhen, I hope you can gather their detailed information soon, Mr. Guo."
"Okay, I’ll have soone collect it right away."
Chen Xiao said no more, opened the computer in the study again, and prepared to re-examine the videos of the victims’ appearances.
He checked fra by fra!
Once he started, ti seed to slip away for Chen Xiao.
His notebook in front of him was filled with more and more notes.
At so unknown ti, Lin Xi’s call interrupted Chen Xiao’s work.
Chen Xiao answered, smiling, "Wife, off work yet?"
"Not yet leaving the police station. How’s your ti in the Provincial City? I heard from Dali that you made a big business deal for his family, didn’t you?"
"Sort of, but Uncle Luo said I should take a large share of that deal." Chen Xiao replied truthfully.
"I really didn’t expect my husband to have a business mind. Tell
what you experienced today, how did you co up with such a good idea?"
Lin Xi was full of curiosity.
Chen Xiao put his work aside and recounted the day’s experiences to his wife.
After listening to Chen Xiao’s narration, Lin Xi was indeed most interested in the case.
As for how much reward the business deal would bring, she didn’t ask about it at all.
"Husband, did you tell Captain Zhang about the idea you just ca up with?" Lin Xi asked.
"No, aside from you, I didn’t want to discuss this case’s progress with anyone who is no longer involved. After all, we still can’t be sure who caused it."
Lin Xi responded, "I agree that it’s better not to tell anyone, considering the case involves unusual people. However, I have a suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"
"Of course I’d like to hear your suggestion, go ahead."
"Once your proposed trial is finalized, you can investigate. But I think the first thing to do is find Jin ng and Qin Zhao. Only by finding them can you determine if the murderer is indeed killing according to the so-called Five Elents scenario."
"Moreover, only by finding them can it be determined whether the murders based on the Five Elents were really a Five Elents Sacrifice."
Chen Xiao quietly listened and then smiled, "Do you have any other suggestions?"
"Of course I do, like when you go to the test site to start distributing household appliances to the countryside. But how will you appear at Yu Gui’s house in the most reasonable scene in the fastest ti?"
Chen Xiao frowned slightly; he hadn’t thought about this yet. After a brief consideration, he replied, "Yu Gui’s household status certainly qualifies as impoverished. At that ti, we’ll use the thod of donating appliances to impoverished households to pave the way for the investigation."
"That’s a good idea, and we don’t have to pay for giving appliances. But what do you think is appropriate to give?"
"It’s August, and the weather is quite hot, maybe an air conditioner?"
"Fool, do you think, given Yu Gui’s family condition, they would afford the electricity bill for the air conditioner? As investigators, whatever we do must be reasonable!"
Chen Xiao chuckled, "Okay, okay, we need to focus on reasonableness! However, what I give should at least create so ti for
to reasonably stay at Yu Gui’s house."
"Then organize an activity that could delay ti, like having a raffle on the spot, for items like a rice cooker, pressure cooker, frying pan. I think those villagers will definitely be interested. Of course, the prize for Yu Gui’s family has to be customized. Isn’t he suffering from stomach cancer? Eating must be difficult, and his daily diet will mainly be liquid food, so provide their ho with a juicer or sothing."
"A juicer doesn’t need to be expensive, just need operations that aren’t imdiately obvious, so you can conduct on-site teaching at their ho."
Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up, "You’re the thoughtful one, my dear."
"It’s not that I’m thoughtful, but you ntioned that Yu Gui had quite good grades, indicating his intelligence level might be high. If you just give them an expensive air conditioner directly, do you think given his intelligence, he would not be suspicious?"
"With the previous special investigations as a lesson, I think Yu Gui’s heart is also on guard. Of course, we’re thinking optimistically. If he is still clinging to life with no improvent, it may be hard even to remain conscious."
After a brief ponder, Chen Xiao replied, "Let’s do as you suggest. I estimate that Dali will go over there tomorrow. I can wait, but Guo Zhengchang probably can’t, so by the third day at most, the trial site and promotions will be synchronized."
"Hmm, during these two days, just enjoy yourself in the Provincial City. Solving a case requires urgency, but such a case can’t be rushed, perhaps you’ll discover sothing unexpected when you get there!"
Listening to Lin Xi’s words, Chen Xiao teased, "You have such faith in ?"
"Of course, my intuition tells , the Goddess of Fortune will surely favor you!"
