Chapter 360: You’re Here Too!
Human trafficker!
This is another very important piece of information for Chen Xiao!
He deeply regarded Wu Kuan’s father.
He truly didn’t expect to hear so many useful clues from the mouth of this old woodcarving master!
Those clues are not only related to his personal connection with the "Ten Demon Sons," but also linked to the Leigong Mountain female corpse case!
Without much thought, Chen Xiao asked Wu Guansheng again:
"What was the scene of the ’Ten Demon Sons’ transaction back then like, can you describe it to me in detail?"
"At that time, it was an exhibition, inviting many people to attend, I was one of them."
"Do you still remember anyone who attended the exhibition?"
Wu Guansheng thought for a moment and said, "It’s been over ten years. If I hadn’t gone with my father back then, I wouldn’t have thought of going, so many attendees were respected elders in the industry."
"Over the years, these elders have almost all passed away, and some people around my age I don’t really know. I clearly remember that my father gave a lot of gifts to attend that exhibition, hoping our products could gain some reputation!"
"Even though I’m wild, otherwise, others wouldn’t care about others’ business, they all wish their own products would receive more attention."
Chen Xiao smiled: "Seeing others’ works more often can also be beneficial to oneself."
Then, Chen Xiao returned to the topic: "Let’s continue talking about Boss Qiu, besides liking to wear sunglasses, what other features does he have on his face or body?"
Wu Guansheng continued to recall.
While recalling, he described Boss Qiu.
As he described, Chen Xiao sketched along.
Soon, when Wu Guansheng stopped, Chen Xiao also stopped.
Looking at the drawing in his hand, Chen Xiao handed it to Wu Guansheng: "Have a look, is it close?"
Wu Guansheng took it, examined it carefully, thought for a moment, and replied:
"Seems like it’s close."
"What do you mean ’seems like it’s close’, either it looks like it or it doesn’t." Liu Dayou interjected somewhat speechlessly.
Wu Guansheng snorted, turning his head to the side.
Chen Xiao understood this reaction very well.
It’s been too long.
They only met once.
Remembering a rough appearance is already quite remarkable.
Chen Xiao put away the sketch: "Where did you hear that Boss Qiu might be a human trafficker from?"
"Heard it from Teacher Huang, who was once a master woodcarver in our area. He told me that Boss Qiu’s intentions were not good, engaging in child trafficking and specifically targeting kids!"
"Is Teacher Huang still alive?"
"No, he passed away last year due to illness."
Cases spanning over long periods often involve the death of key figures.
The separation of birth and death is something uncontrollable by others.
Though regrettable, Chen Xiao couldn’t say much.
Seeing no other topics to discuss, Chen Xiao stood up.
Liu Dayou quickly said: "Brother, if there’s nothing more, let’s leave."
Chen Xiao gave Liu Dayou a look, hinting if he wanted to ask about Liu Xiaoying.
Liu Dayou thought briefly, then with determination in his eyes said: "Brother, let’s go!"
It’s not that Liu Dayou doesn’t care for his sister.
But Liu Dayou is well aware.
His sister, who married into this community years ago, is already integrated here.
If not, their parents wouldn’t be cleaning the house of their in-laws early in the morning.
Even if Chen Xiao said more, his sister wouldn’t listen.
What she cared about was no longer the home where she grew up.
Rather, it’s the home where she nurtured her child.
Seeing Liu Dayou say so, Chen Xiao didn’t interfere further.
As they exited Wu’s house, Liu Dayou couldn’t stop his tears.
Chen Xiao didn’t comfort him, saying: "I understand how you feel, but we have other matters, let’s first get Uncle and Aunt to the hotel."
Liu Dayou wiped away his tears, saying "okay."
After setting up the hotel accommodations, he immediately followed Chen Xiao to Zheng Xiang’s house.
On the way to the Zheng family, Chen Xiao called Pan Huiping.
"Hello, Chen Xiao, have you arrived at Dean Zheng’s house?"
Pan Huiping asked, to which Chen Xiao replied: "We’re on the way, but we had an unexpected surprise."
"What kind of surprise?"
Chen Xiao shared the earlier events at Wu’s house, Pan Huiping exclaimed in surprise:
"These pieces of information are very important!"
"They certainly are important, so I’m calling to hope you’ll quickly go to Sanshui Town to investigate anyone with the surname Qiu. This person may like woodcarving and be involved in human trafficking crimes."
"I suggest not only investigating those currently living in Sanshui Town but also a thorough investigation of those in prison and even those passed away."
"I understand, leave it to me." Pan Huiping responded.
Their conversation ended there.
Chen Xiao continued driving to Dean Zheng’s house.
Once at Zheng’s house, Chen Xiao stood at the door, stunned along with Liu Dayou.
Inside Zheng’s house, a young girl was chatting with an elderly woman.
Not only did Liu Dayou recognize the young girl, but Chen Xiao also knew her.
Seemingly aware of the gaze, the girl inside turned toward them.
Upon seeing Chen Xiao, her face was filled with astonishment.
"Mr. Chen?"
Chen Xiao marveled at the fate’s cleverness, smiled, and after entering, said:
"I truly didn’t expect to meet Miss Dai here!"
"The one surprised should be me. Grandma watched me grow up, my father and Uncle Zheng were life-and-death comrades!"
"I see!"
Chen Xiao said sincerely, then shook hands with Dai Hong’Er.
The elderly woman beside was curious and asked: "Hong’Er, is this your friend?"
Dai Hong’Er nodded with a smile: "Yes, Grandma, his name is Chen Xiao, he’s very talented and... significant!"
Dai Hong’Er originally thought Chen Xiao was a brilliant businessman.
But on second thought, Chen Xiao only showcased his talents in the business world as a side act.
The elderly woman realized: "Since he’s Hong’Er’s friend, young man, come in quickly. Have you had breakfast? If not, I’ll have more prepared!"
"I’ve had it, thank you, Grandma. But Grandma, may I ask, are you Dean Zheng Xiang’s...?"
Upon hearing they were here for Zheng Xiang, the elderly woman responded: "I’m his wife, you came to see him? But he passed away many years ago!"
"I know, I’m here regarding some past matters about Hai City Tian Valley District Welfare Institute."
The elderly woman looked puzzled.
At this moment, Chen Xiao signaled to Dai Hong’Er, who then understood and whispered to the elderly woman, introducing Chen Xiao’s true identity.
