Listening to Chen Xiao’s words.
Pan Huiping was briefly taken aback.
"Is he telling the truth? That guy always likes to exaggerate! Every ti sothing happens, it might not originally be that glorious, but when he talks about it, it becos imnsely honorable."
"So, Captain Pan, when Director Zhang told you about this information, you instinctively didn’t believe it, right?"
Chen Xiao grinned.
Pan Huiping instinctively wanted to nod but imdiately a hint of shock appeared in her eyes:
"Is everything he said true this ti?"
Chen Xiao didn’t answer, instead asking another question:
"Whether it’s true isn’t important. What’s important now is whether this information about can restore the trust of that overseas Chinese in you?"
Pan Huiping contemplated for a mont: "It should be possible!"
Saying this, Pan Huiping added, "In terms of the number of cases solved, you definitely can’t compare with Brother Xian and , but in terms of efficiency, your record is truly astonishing."
"Especially for many unsolved cases where other detectives are helpless, you manage to catch the real culprit with great efficiency. If you hadn’t said so, I would have continued to doubt."
Chen Xiao rely smiled and replied, "Sotis solving a case requires a bit of the right ti, place, and people coming together, perhaps leading to a resolution."
As he said this, Chen Xiao thought about Dongzhou, perhaps what Pan Huiping cared about was only related to Zhang Xian, and the only person who truly cared was Zhang Xian himself.
In the car, Xiaoji seed thoughtful.
Liu Dayou’s face naturally showed a sleazy expression.
What does it an to be naturally sleazy?
The reason being, because the thin and small, thick-lipped, yellow-toothed, and dark-skinned Liu Dayou, when he smiles, naturally makes others feel sleazy.
Pan Huiping also noticed him, frowning slightly: "Why do I feel like you three are a bit abnormal?"
"Everyone’s quite normal, Captain Pan, you’ll get used to it once you know us better."
Pan Huiping acknowledged and didn’t say more, driving directly to the residence of the wealthy overseas Chinese.
However, his residence wasn’t in the city center of Hai City, it was actually on the outskirts of the Celestial Valley District.
All these events were instigated by the girl seeking her family, Qiu Tingfang.
According to her mory, her father told her that she was born in a town called Sanshui.
She is a Sanshui native, and coincidentally, her biological father also had the surna Qiu.
It took quite a while to reach Sanshui Town by car.
Pan Huiping parked the car outside a standalone self-built house and said, "Qiu Tingfang returned to search for her family. Her adoptive parents, Qiu Huasheng and Mu Rong, supported her fully. Because Qiu Huasheng went abroad with the elders early on and wanted to return but couldn’t easily."
"So they all hope their adopted daughter can find her relatives and live happily in her holand. They bought this house from soone to give to Qiu Tingfang."
"But unexpectedly, shortly after buying the house, Qiu Tingfang got into trouble, and now even Mu Rong passed away from a heart attack caused by longing for her daughter."
Chen Xiao expressed no opinion, silently following behind Pan Huiping into the house.
The door was open.
Chen Xiao noticed several policen secretly guarding the place.
But inside the house, there were only two young n in suits looking exhausted, standing guard.
Those two were probably the driver and bodyguard who ca with Qiu Huasheng.
Upon entering, one young man, seeing that it was Pan Huiping, imdiately stepped forward, making a blocking gesture.
"Sorry, Captain Pan, Mr. Qiu has instructed us that he does not wish to see you at the mont."
In these tis, overseas Chinese and foreign businessn hold very high status.
Pan Huiping felt helpless, handing over Chen Xiao’s information:
"This is Mr. Chen from Jiang Province, an excellent criminal investigation advisor. In the past two to three months, he has consecutively solved many major and serious cases, even multiple cold cases."
"Please hand this information to Mr. Qiu, we’ll be waiting downstairs."
Pan Huiping was probably reminded by her superiors; otherwise, according to Chen Xiao’s understanding, it’s unlike Pan Huiping to be so polite.
Of course, it might also be that Chen Xiao doesn’t know Pan Huiping well enough.
Thinking for a mont, Chen Xiao withdrew his gaze to look at the bodyguard and driver.
Seeing them holding onto the docunts but taking no action, Chen Xiao frowned:
"Captain Pan, my ti is limited. I imagine your division has more than just this case? I can only wait here for ten minutes. If no response cos in ten minutes, I would rather help you with other cases."
"After all, for a case of normal difficulty, I only give myself a few hours of investigation ti, while challenging ones get 24 hours. So, even ten minutes is extrely precious to ."
These words from Chen Xiao left Pan Huiping dumbfounded.
Because at first glance, they indeed sounded arrogant!
Only Xiaoji and Liu Dayou showed an indifferent expression towards unrelated matters.
Soon enough, Pan Huiping also understood Chen Xiao’s intention, apologetically saying, "Alright, Mr. Chen, if President Qiu doesn’t respond in ten minutes, I’ll take you back to rest first."
"Hmm."
Chen Xiao replied indifferently.
The bodyguard and driver exchanged a look, and finally, one young man quickly took the materials upstairs to find Qiu Huasheng.
In reality, there are too many subordinates who don’t know their place.
Just like that saying goes, the king is easy to et, but the little demons are hard to deal with!
Because the little demons love taking advantage of small situations!
Shortly after the young man went upstairs, a middle-aged man, unfamiliar, finally appeared in sight.
Chen Xiao observed him, quietly asking Pan Huiping, "Is he Qiu Huasheng?"
"Yes."
"In the neighboring country, he is a distinguished businessman. His family has been prominent rchants for generations, and reportedly, the family’s wealth is extrely impressive."
Pan Huiping introduced.
At this point, Qiu Huasheng also approached Chen Xiao.
He appeared very haggard, his eyes seemingly filled with emptiness after despair.
"I need you to be honest, are you truly as impressive as described in that docunt?"
Chen Xiao didn’t think there was anything improper about the way he asked.
Especially after putting himself in their shoes, such an inquiry seed completely reasonable.
"President Qiu can have anyone investigate my work freely."
"Alright, then I trust you, and for the last ti, I trust the Hai City police! Please, Advisor Chen, co with ; my wife’s body is upstairs."
As a successful businessman, Qiu Huasheng wasted no ti.
After speaking, he made a gesture inviting him.
But Chen Xiao didn’t follow his gesture forward. Instead, he grabbed his wrist and calmly said:
"No rush, President Qiu, let’s first have a chat downstairs."
Qiu Huasheng frowned slightly: "Chat about what?"
"Chat about your life, about your relationship with your wife, and more about the changes in your family after you adopted Miss Qiu Tingfang!"
With these words, Chen Xiao shifted the conversation:
"Of course, I also hope to hear so secrets! You are an overseas Chinese, and I assu you know that citizens on this land are obligated to fully cooperate with police inquiries. Thus, President Qiu’s invitation to implies agreent to my involvent in the investigation. Therefore, I hope not to discover during subsequent investigations that the person who commissioned is playing gas with !"
With those words, Qiu Huasheng’s bodyguard and driver imdiately moved a few steps forward.
Chen Xiao looked on indifferently, because he... did it intentionally!
