Chapter 2085: Some Results
Chen Xuyao sat down and glanced at the dumplings in Jiang Yao’s bowl. Then, he said, “They look delicious. Ever since Zhou Weiqi started working seriously, I have rarely eaten home-cooked food.”
Chen Xuyao’s parents were busy working, and Chen Xuyao lived alone. Most of the time, he ordered takeout. It was not because he did not know how to cook but because he was too lazy to do it.
How could Chu Sheng not know that Chen Xuyao deliberately told her about it? That guy was afraid that she did not know. After that, he stared at her for a few seconds with a burning gaze. She did not raise her head to look at him before he looked away.
“Chu Sheng and I went to Sergeant Hu’s house just now. We went around the neighborhood of Sergeant Hu’s house and got some results.”. Chen Xuyao sighed. “Chu Sheng can confirm that Sergeant Hu’s actions were aimed at Jiang Yao.”
Chu Sheng laid the spoon down on the table after observing that Chen Xuyao had raised serious issues. “We asked the children of Sergeant Hu’s neighbors. The two kids claimed that when Sergeant Hu arrived, he bought them drinks.
He also questioned them extensively regarding Colonel Lu and his wife. According to one of the kids, Sergeant Hu reportedly sighed for no apparent reason.
“Later, Chu Sheng asked me to ask Sergeant Hu some things about his father.
Sergeant Hu recalled that his father had asked to see family photos. Sergeant
Hu showed him some pictures. Sergeant Hu said his father had also mentioned Lu Xingzhi. He said that he had heard about your fame in the major military bases and that his old comrades had also mentioned you. So, he asked Sergeant Hu if you were in those photos. Sergeant Hu really did have a photo of you, although only half of your face was revealed.”
Chen Xuyao paused and looked at Jiang Yao. He said, “That night, Sergeant Hu showed his father Lu Xingzhi’s face in the photo. Then, he took the opportunity to ask about Jiang Yao. For example, what was Jiang Yao like? How many months was she pregnant? Where did Jiang Yao come from? At that time, Sergeant Hu thought his father was just curious about Jiang Yao because of you.”
“He must have been trymg to gather information.”
Jiang Yao’s gaze was grave. The man even gathered information from his own son. Had Sergeant Hu been suffering that whole time?
“Sergeant Hu’s father should not have met Jiang Yao.”
Chen Xuyao looked at Chu Sheng. After obtaining her permission, he said confidently, “Sergeant Hu’s father left the house after dinner that night. He said he was going for a walk, but someone saw him going to the family area. It was also a coincidence. He met you and Jiang Yao while he was there. However, he didn’t approach you. Instead, he got someone to confirm your identity casually. Then, he heard someone say they were short of water, so he took the opportunity to say that he could help deliver water.”
Chu Sheng had gotten all that information from the man who had chatted with Sergeant Hu’s father. As long as she confirmed that there was something wrong with Sergeant Hu’s father, she would look for the people with whom the man might have met and interacted. Some problems would naturally reveal some clues.
Chu Sheng had guessed that Sergeant Hu’s father had never met Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao. She had also heard that the man had gone out alone after dinner that day. She dragged Chen Xuyao around to investigate what Sergeant Hu’s father must have done that day..
