Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Found It!

“Knock, knock, knock!”

The moment Chen Xiao heard the knocking, he immediately pinched the rotten piece of flesh into the bag and then went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a figure slipped in.

Chen Xiao looked at the visitor, not surprised.

It was Ye Wei’s sister—Ye Xiu.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly at her, but Ye Xiu asked in surprise, “You knew I would come?”

“I not only knew you would come, but I also knew it was Yu Gui who advised you when to come and when not to.”

Ye Xiu slightly widened her eyes, glanced at the nearby scattered appliances, and asked:

“Are you really a police officer?”

Chen Xiao shook his head; Ye Xiu became instantly alert, “If you’re not a police officer, then what are you here for!”

“Although I’m not a police officer, my wife is a subordinate of a police officer who came here before. This time, I’m entrusted by Mr. Guo Zhengchang to investigate the case of your sister and others being murdered.”

Ye Xiu seemed to have a deep sense of trust in Guo Zhengchang, and the alertness on her face slowly dissipated.

“As long as someone is here to investigate, it’s good. Ever since the last task force left, I was desperate, thinking no one would ever look into this case again!”

Listening to Ye Xiu’s words, Chen Xiao still smiled.

After bringing over a chair, Chen Xiao motioned Ye Xiu to sit down, “Did Yu Gui ask you to come to tell me something?”

Ye Xiu nodded, “Yes, Brother Gui asked me to come over and tell you about the case in detail. He’s worried that since you’re new here, you might not know enough about the case.”

Chen Xiao had a certain understanding of the case, but there could be as many interpretations as there are people.

Everyone’s focus on things often varies greatly.

He wanted to hear what different perspective he might get from Ye Xiu’s words.

Ye Xiu didn’t hesitate; she spoke quickly, “I’ll skip the earlier events and just talk about what happened after my sister and Sister Guo Ning arrived.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

“When my sister and the others arrived in Xiaofeng Village, Mrs. Yu and Mr. Yu were very happy. They knew my sister and others were Brother Gui’s best friends, so they had been preparing for several days before they arrived.”

“On the day they arrived, Mr. Yu invited his cousins over and prepared several tables of dishes. During that meal, Brother Qin Zhao, Brother Song Zhen, drank too much. My sister and Sister Guo Ning didn’t drink, but Sister Jin Meng could hold her liquor, so three people ended up drinking too much.”

Chen Xiao listened silently, noting the information about the three people who drank too much in his mind.

He thought this might be the information Yu Gui wanted to convey to him.

“The meal lasted from noon until the late afternoon, but after Brother Qin Zhao, Brother Song Zhen, and Sister Jin Meng drank too much, they needed a place to rest. So, Brothers Qin Zhao and Song Zhen were sent to Brother Gui’s uncle’s house, and Sister Jin Meng stayed at Brother Gui’s little uncle’s house. Because his little uncle only had two daughters, the rooms in the house were suitable for girls.”

“Yes, my sister also stayed with Sister Jin Meng.”

Chen Xiao noted their accommodation information and signaled Ye Xiu to continue.

“The only one who stayed at Brother Gui’s house was Sister Guo Ning, and she slept with Mrs. Yu. They had known each other for a long time, so they weren’t strangers. But there’s something about this that Brother Gui’s family never told anyone, not even Grandpa Guo before.”

Chen Xiao became more serious, “What is it?”

“Sister Guo Ning liked Brother Gui, but Brother Gui kept his distance from Sister Guo Ning for some reasons. As for those reasons, I think you can probably guess.”

Chen Xiao quietly squinted his eyes.

What Ye Xiu said was surprising to Chen Xiao, but when he recalled the scene when they first met, it seemed less shocking.

Setting aside family background, Yu Gui was definitely an attractive boy on the university campus.

He was smart, handsome, completely unlike his ordinary name.

Chen Xiao also knew he was good at singing!

Such a boy was charming in many ways!

Especially for someone like Guo Ning, who was used to seeing rich second generations; Yu Gui’s fresh and gentle appearance, combined with his shining achievements, naturally had a strong appeal.

If Guo Ning didn’t have feelings for Yu Gui, she wouldn’t have knelt before Guo Zhengchang when Yu Gui fell ill, begging him to save Yu Gui.

So, after thinking about it, this matter might not be a secret; it’s just not openly talked about.

Because those in the know are well aware that the gap between Yu Gui and Guo Ning is a chasm that the Yu family may never bridge.

“On the first night, Sister Guo Ning herself requested to sleep with Mrs. Yu. Mrs. Yu liked Sister Guo Ning, and seeing that Brother Gui didn’t have much time left, they chatted openly all night. During the conversation, Sister Guo Ning hoped Mrs. Yu would agree to one thing: to witness her marriage with Brother Gui when the others weren’t around.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao’s expression changed.

He hadn’t forgotten that when Guo Ning was found dead, she was wearing a red veil on her head!

Ye Xiu noticed his change in expression and said solemnly, “No one expected that when Sister Guo Ning was found, she had a red veil on her head. Mrs. Yu hadn’t said this at first because she didn’t agree to it. Even when Sister Guo Ning said she just wanted to go through the process with Brother Gui, Mrs. Yu firmly refused.”

“Later when Sister Guo Ning was found, it was already several days after, and Mrs. Yu originally wanted to say it, but was stopped by Brother Gui.”

Chen Xiao picked up the thread of conversation, “So at that time, Yu Gui already suspected the killer might always be around him, right?”

“Yes, but Brother Gui couldn’t determine who it was. Because throughout the process, many people were in contact, including the task force police officers and us family members, especially Sister Guo Ning’s family who had several members come over. They would fly into a rage and put pressure on the task force.”

“Brother Gui always suspected it was Sister Guo Ning’s family who sent someone to do this, so he kept this secret.”

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and asked, “What’s Yu Gui’s current thinking? Does he still think the case might have been done by the Guo Family?”

Ye Xiu shook her head, “He suspects that someone overheard the conversation between Mrs. Yu and Sister Guo Ning that night and decided to kill.”

“The reason?”

Ye Xiu shook her head again, “Brother Gui doesn’t know; he can’t understand why someone would kill, even when overhearing, and why so many people were killed!”

Chen Xiao pondered.

What Ye Xiu told him, after mulling over, seemed neither here nor there.

Even now, there’s no truly useful information!

Far less than the small piece of earlobe he just found in the rice cooker.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao was about to confirm some questions when suddenly the door was opened again.

The people returning were Luo Dali and Xiaoji Knife Man.

Seeing their faces, Chen Xiao immediately stood up.

“How’s it? Did you find it?”
