Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 377: Her Video!

The case of Zhao Xiaohong’s murder.

It was the first case Chen Xiao truly participated in investigating.

Xiao Nian was also the first murderer Chen Xiao truly caught.

Xiao Nian owned an apartment.

Wang Hao also owned an apartment.

Both were third parties intruding into other people’s marriages!

In Xiao Nian’s apartment, there was a killing note.

In Wang Hao’s apartment, there was also a killing note.

Xiao Nian’s killing method was simple and direct, a swift decapitation.

In the notes left by the Wang Hao Sisters, there was also information about swift decapitation!

With all these overlapping features, it’s hard for Chen Xiao not to be suspicious!

Moreover, what was the main reason Chen Xiao came to Hai City?

Besides helping Pan Huiping, it was to pursue "Ten Demon Sons."

Although in this case, the importance of "Ten Demon Sons" seems to be decreasing, it remains inseparable.

Because there is a Boss Qiu in the case!

Moreover, "Ten Demon Sons" was sent to Chen Xiao by Lou Xiaodong.

Lou Xiaodong died blocking a fatal blow for Hu Yue in Hai City!

Chen Xiao now feels that everything seems to revolve around him.

Chen Xiao doesn’t want to think that way.

He thinks he’s not at the point where people need to target him so intensely.

Perhaps everything is just coincidentally aligning this way.

With this mindset, Chen Xiao went with Qiu Huasheng to the latter’s residence.

Mu Rong has already been sent for autopsy by the criminal investigation team under Chen Xiao’s intervention.

But the ice coffin she once lay in remains.

However, Chen Xiao’s purpose in coming here isn’t for Mu Rong, but for the jewelry Qiu Tingfang wore before her death.

Thankfully, Qiu Huasheng knew some of his adopted daughter’s habits and preferences.

After searching the room briefly, he quickly found the hairpin Qiu Huasheng mentioned.

The hairpin was exquisite.

It’s shaped like a starfish.

With real diamonds adorning it, it looks quite valuable.

Chen Xiao held the hairpin, gently pinching it with his fingers.

Qiu Huasheng said nearby, "This was a birthday gift Tingfang chose for her twentieth birthday. Originally, the hairpin was a trinket from a street stall. But since she often wore it to attend parties, I thought it was too cheap, so I hired a designer to specifically adorn it with diamonds."

While observing, Chen Xiao kept pinching it with his fingers.

Finally, his movement halted; he really felt something inside the hairpin!

Chen Xiao tried his best to discern the shape of the object, then confidently spoke:

"Bring scissors, there’s something inside! Also, we might need a computer and card reader."

Qiu Huasheng immediately went to comply.

When Chen Xiao used scissors to cut open the fabric wrapping the hairpin, he indeed found a memory card inside quickly!

Looking at the memory card, a hint of excitement flashed in Qiu Huasheng’s eyes:

"I knew Tingfang was so smart, she couldn’t have left nothing behind!"

Chen Xiao remained calm, using a computer to identify the files on the memory card, discovering that it was a video.

Chen Xiao immediately played it, and a young girl’s figure appeared inside.

The girl glanced at the camera and then waved, saying:

"Hi, dear Old Qiu, and the most beautiful Ms. Mu in the world, are you still sad now?"

Upon hearing this, the emotion Qiu Huasheng had been holding back completely erupted at this moment.

Supporting himself on the desk, he cried loudly.

But Qiu Tingfang inside the computer continued speaking:

"Sorry, Old Qiu, there are actually many things I’ve never told you and mom in my heart. I don’t carry the surname Qiu; I bear the surname Wang."

"My name is Wang Mei, and my persistent talk of returning to the country this time wasn’t for finding my original relatives."

"You treated me so well and loved me dearly. So, in my heart, you’ve long been my dearest parents in this world."

"But some things have caused me great pain, leaving me in difficult decisions. I wish I had always been Qiu Tingfang, your Tingfang. However, I can’t forget that the reason I could become Qiu Tingfang was someone else’s sacrifice and fulfillment."

"Without her, I couldn’t have become your daughter. Because at the time, the person you originally intended to adopt was her, but I was her sister; she couldn’t bear seeing me suffer, so she let me secretly sneak into the orphanage, pretending to be her."

"Thus, I left Hai City with you and enjoyed a good life that many don’t. But in my heart, I’ve always been concerned about my sister. Finally, last year, I asked some overseas students from Hai City to find her contact information."

"I finally got in touch with her and learned about her hardships over the past decade or so. I even thought at that time, if we didn’t worry too much, would you have adopted both of us?"

"It’s a pity, so much time has passed, and saying ’if’ no longer holds any meaning!"

"Because my sister had a difficult time over the past decades, but when I said I wanted to compensate her, she refused. She hoped I would return to the country and join her in seeking revenge for our deceased biological parents!"

"Our parents were murdered outside Hai City Railway Station in 1990 when they took us out of the station."

"But when we left the station and were crossing a street, suddenly someone passed by them, and blood started dripping from their necks. At that time, my sister and I were astounded, watching our parents clutching their necks and collapsing."

"This scene later became my nightmare, frequently waking me with fright. But dear Old Qiu, I don’t know if I’m truly heartless or what, as after so many years, there’s actually no hatred inside me."

"Maybe I’m selfish, for at that time, I just wanted to live happily with you. However, my sister didn’t agree; I once told her to come and live with me, then find a way to introduce her to you."

"But my sister was adamant in refusal, harboring unprecedented disappointment towards me. I didn’t want her to be upset, so I first agreed to her return to the country, and following her suggestion, I publicly announced my intention to search for relatives upon returning home."

"Because my sister said, as long as I publicize it, the murderer who killed our parents would definitely come to find us! I did as she said, but after staying here for so many days, that person never appeared."

As she spoke, Qiu Tingfang in the video lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

Only after a few seconds did she lift her head again, saying:

"As time passed, that person still showed no intention of approaching us. So, at that time, I began wondering whether the murderer who killed our parents might have already died."

"Hence, I again persuaded my sister to give up, hoping she would return and live with us. However, when I expressed this wish to her once more, I distinctly felt my sister becoming unusual."

"Her gaze frightened me, questioning whether privileged life had made me lose my conscience. Additionally, she began reminding me repeatedly that my happiness today was due to her sacrifice back then!"

"Of course, I knew it was her sacrifice, and I knew the old director decided to bring her into the orphanage after witnessing her kindness. So I’ve always wanted to repay her; I did whatever she said. But that person really didn’t appear, with only my sister crazily believing he was around us!"

"Today, my sister came looking for me again, but from her eyes, I saw a kind of madness; she said... she found our parents’ burial site at Leigong Mountain and invited me to pay respects together!"

"I was delighted, yet inexplicably, there was unease in my heart. My sister’s gaze terrified me to the extent that if I truly went with her, I might never return!"

"But could I refuse her? I couldn’t, so I agreed with her; I also wanted to know where my parents’ resting place was located. I thought, for a sister who gave up everything for me previously, she shouldn’t harm me!"
