Chapter 189: Very Good, The Case They Are Investigating Can Actually Coincidence?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Going to Chuanyang’s hometown was quite convenient. Ignoring the people monitoring him, Su Xuan took a car to a county in Haicheng. Haicheng was a relatively large place, and the countryside was divided into several areas. Chuanyang’s hometown was in one of the poorest counties.

Of course, this poverty was compared to ten years ago. In the past decade, China’s development had drastically reduced the number of impoverished counties. However, when compared to other counties, Chuanyang’s hometown was undeniably at the bottom, and the rural area where he lived was even worse.

“No wonder Chuanyang chose to stay in the city after finishing college, rather than returning to his hometown.”

Su Xuan found a hotel in the town, then stepped out with his phone in hand. He quickly followed the leads, investigating step by step.

The police officers trailing behind him didn’t look pleased, especially Ma Zhiyuan. In fact, Ma Zhiyuan didn’t leave at all. After leaving Su Xuan’s sight, he had taken off his police uniform, left it in the car, and then turned to tail Su Xuan.

They weren’t following Su Xuan’s lead because they wanted to; it was just that the arrival of Su Xuan and his partner was too coincidental. They had only recently discovered a local underground gambling den and were following leads related to it. Now, visitors from another province had appeared.

If the other party had come in a normal way, they could have accepted it, but they chose this particular approach…

They couldn’t help but be suspicious. However…

As they watched Su Xuan rush to this small, rundown town after leaving the county, Ma Zhiyuan couldn’t help but feel a hint of doubt. Could they have misunderstood?

“I’ve already checked, and their identities do indeed belong to police officers from Hong Kong.”

“They came here this time for a different case, and it just happened to coincide with our situation.”

“I think this might just be a misunderstanding on our part.”

Just then, his companion’s voice suddenly rang in Ma Zhiyuan’s ear. His serious expression froze instantly.

“If it’s a misunderstanding…”

“Then what we did earlier… would be quite impolite…”

Ma Zhiyuan thought about the locator he had placed on Zhou Qiang’s shoulder earlier that morning, and the veins on his forehead popped out. The room bugs could be overlooked, pretending not to see them…

And considering that both of them had been so tired and drunk last night, they probably wouldn’t have noticed the bugs. But the locator had definitely been discovered.

“We’re all police officers.”

“If we just explain it to them, it shouldn’t be a big deal…”

“But if you think about it, it’s really too coincidental!”

“I had just found a lead, and then police officers from another province happened to show up…”

“If they didn’t come for this matter, I wouldn’t believe it…”

The officers tailing Su Xuan, who was conducting his inquiries, took a deep breath.

This was truly a first for them!

Su Xuan didn’t pay any attention to what those officers tailing him were thinking.

He only had a limited amount of time, and if he wasted it on the officers following him…

Then when would he have time to find what he was looking for?

In the perplexed gaze of the only officer, Ma Zhiyuan, who had remained to tail them, Su Xuan spent a few days in the village where Chuanyang’s family lived.

He didn’t go anywhere else, just roamed around the village.

During this time, Zhou Qiang had been keeping an eye on Chuanyang in the city.

As time passed, the officers who had been tailing them all left.

Once their own case made progress, they realized that there might be something wrong with their surveillance of Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang. Naturally, they wanted to apologize to the two of them.

After all, it had been many days, and they were all police officers.

Seeing that the locator that Ma Zhiyuan had placed on Zhou Qiang had lost its function… they knew that Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang were probably aware of their actions now.

But right now, one of them was busy tailing, and the other was busy searching for something in the county town.

And Ma Zhiyuan and the others also needed to seize every moment to catch the criminals.

They thought they would apologize to Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang after they had resolved this matter.

However, they didn’t expect that both parties would end up searching in different directions.

In the end, they ended up in the same place…

When they met at the household registration office in the county town, both Su Xuan and Ma Zhiyuan were stunned.

“Officer Ma?”

Su Xuan took the initiative, looking shocked at Ma Zhiyuan, who was standing in front of him, holding a household registration document. “How did you end up here?”

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that?”

Ma Zhiyuan took a sharp breath.

At the same time, a smile appeared on Ma Zhiyuan’s face as he looked at Su Xuan and said, “Officer Su, I think I should be the one asking you that question.”

“How come you’re here?”

Both of them stared at each other, neither willing to yield.

“I came here to investigate something.”

“Well, I also have something I’d like Officer Ma’s help with.”

“I was actually planning to look for you later, and since you’re here, can you take me to the county hospital to access records from thirty-six years ago?” After a long mutual gaze, Su Xuan finally spoke to Ma Zhiyuan.

Ma Zhiyuan heard this and his heart skipped a beat.

He looked up and saw Su Xuan holding documents. “We need those records for our investigation.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhiyuan’s expression turned serious.

Even though they now knew that Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang were likely unrelated to the case they were investigating, Ma Zhiyuan couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling that arose upon hearing Su Xuan’s words.

However, Su Xuan, as an out-of-town law enforcement officer, had come here for the case. How could they not cooperate?

Ma Zhiyuan took a deep breath. “Of course, I can.”

“I actually need to go to the county hospital as well.”

“Shall we go together?”

“The hospital’s records from so many years ago might be hard to find, you know. Back then, electronic records weren’t widely used nationwide. Even when they eventually became popular, there were still many things that weren’t digitized.”

Su Xuan was well aware of this matter.

Upon hearing Ma Zhiyuan’s words, he immediately smiled confidently. After all, he had a system with him!

Forget about paper records, you could throw him into a library, and he could replicate an entire library’s worth of books in no time!

“Thank you for your help.”

“Officer Ma…”

“I really need to access those records over there.”

“It’s related to the case I’m currently investigating.”

Su Xuan had already made his request clear. Could Ma Zhiyuan refuse? Moreover, he needed to check the hospital’s records as well. So, the two of them arrived at the county hospital together.

With their police uniforms and badges, Ma Zhiyuan successfully led them into the records room.

However, when the person in charge of the records asked them what they wanted to access, both of them were dumbfounded.

Because…

They both wanted to access the same records!

“I’m sorry, but I’d like to check the birth records from thirty-six years ago at the hospital!”
