Chapter 139: Su Xuan Fury For The First Time! Please apologize to me!

A day later, beneath Building 3 in the Shuying residential estate.

A discreet Volkswagen was parked in the designated spot under Building 3.

“See that?”

“The chubby lady coming over to throw out the garbage, she’s Tang Jiajia’s landlady.”

“Ever since Tang Jiajia rented this place, she doesn’t even have to take out the trash herself. This lady lives right across from them, and every time she throws out the garbage, she helps take it downstairs.”

“Tang Jiajia seems to be planning to stay at home for a month. After a month, she’ll probably leave our city.”

Tian Yuan was sitting in the driver’s seat, speaking to Su Xuan, who was in the passenger seat.

“All we can do for now is keep watch.”

“If the other side makes a move, we’ll move in immediately!”

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan looked at the landlady not far away, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He took out his phone and opened an interface.

On it were the materials that Hao Shui had sent him, documenting the places Tang Jiajia had visited after coming to their city.

He couldn’t help but feel that something was off.

But he couldn’t quite put his finger on what was wrong.

“Su Xuan, what are you thinking?”

In the back seat, a female detective with a ponytail and delicate features looked at Su Xuan with confusion as he had a serious expression.

“Sis Zhou, do you have a pen?”

As Zhou Tiaotiao inquired, Su Xuan had already pulled out a tissue from the tissue box.

At the same time, he searched the car for a pen.

Hearing this, the female officer immediately handed over her own pen.

“Su Xuan, I’ve got one here, use mine.”

“Are you going to write something?”

“Using tissue might be inconvenient. 1 also have paper here…”

While speaking, Zhou Tiaotiao even offered her own paper and pen.

Since there was paper available, Su Xuan didn’t need the tissue.

He immediately thanked her and then brought the materials closer, uncapped the pen, and began drawing on it.

“If I remember correctly, you previously told me that she was born in Xiangxi, which is actually quite far from here.”

“But if she was causing trouble and committing crimes in Xiangxi, why would she think of settling down here?”

“This, in itself, is a paradox.”

“Furthermore, isn’t it quite a coincidence that after she came out, she was able to find Yue Fan as the first thing? Isn’t that a bit too fast?”

“So, can we boldly speculate that before she found Yue Fan, they had already located each other’s positions through chat apps?”

“That’s not impossible.”

“After all, when we were tracking them before, we could determine their prior acquaintance through their chat history. In the information you provided, Tang Jiajia’s sister, Tang Xin, was even Yue Fan’s ex…”

“So, they still had contact after Tang Jiajia’s sister, Tang Xin, passed away.”

“So, what could be the reason for them to maintain contact over such a long distance?”

After Su Xuan spoke up to this point, the rough outline of the relationship chart had already been drawn.

“That can only mean one thing: there’s something they both know, something that’s their secret.”

“This is what Tang Jiajia told Yue Fan before.”

“Look—”

Su Xuan tore off the paper he had just drawn and stuck it on the windshield in front, making it clear for Zhou Tiaotiao, who was sitting in the back, to see the relationship chart he had drawn.

“Hiss!”

Tian Yuan was suddenly baffled.

Then he became furious.

“Su Xuan, what on earth is this mess you’ve drawn?”

“This relationship chart is so chaotic…”

“And how could Yue Fan possibly be related to Tang Jiajia’s landlady?”

“Did you just randomly draw this?”

Tian Yuan had never held a high opinion of Su Xuan, and now, seeing him casually glance at the group of suspects, then connect the dots, he thought Su Xuan might be playing around.

His face turned extremely unpleasant.

“I’m not randomly drawing.”

Before Tian Yuan could finish speaking, Su Xuan interrupted him.

“I believe you’ve already sent someone to investigate Tang Jiajia in Xiangxi, right?”

“But before you proceed, 1 hope you can be clear about one thing…”

“Yue Fan is not from Xiangxi, he only went there for school.”

“This is also written in your information…”

Su Xuan’s words were cut off by Tian Yuan.

“We are aware of this matter.”

“But what’s the point of saying this now?”

“What does it have to do with the landlady?”

This question puzzled not only Tian Yuan but also Zhou Tiaotiao.

Su Xuan remained composed but adopted a more serious tone.

“Officer Tian Yuan, if I’m not mistaken, it was you who personally came to my workplace to invite me here.”

“Since you’ve voluntarily invited me, does that mean you have some confidence in me?”

“If I don’t even have the right to make assumptions, then I apologize, and I’ll head back to the station right away.”

“After all, it seems you don’t believe a word I say, do you?”

Tian Yuan:…

Under Su Xuan’s stern gaze, Tian Yuan took a deep breath…

Under Zhou Tiaotiao’s watchful eyes, Tian Yuan, who had intended to say something, found his words stuck in his throat.

“Officer Tian.”

Su Xuan, however, had no intention of letting him off. “Please apologize to me.”

Usually, Su Xuan was forgiving in most situations.

But this time was different.

Tian Yuan’s words weren’t just insulting to Su Xuan, they also disrespected his own department.

If he let it slide, would he even have any self-respect left?

“You!”

Tian Yuan didn’t expect Su Xuan to be so determined this time.

The words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat under their intense gaze.

He had to swallow hard, feeling uncertain.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and apologized.

“I’m sorry!”

“We’re both police officers, and I shouldn’t look down on you because of your department.”

After the apology, the inside of the Volkswagen became quiet.

Even Zhou Tiaotiao didn’t dare to speak up.

In truth, she didn’t understand.

Su Xuan was clearly so capable, so why did Tian Ge feel that he shouldn’t join their department?

Now they found themselves in this awkward situation.

How embarrassing!

“Now, you should be able to tell us why you think this woman is related to Yue Fan, right?”

After apologizing, Tian Yuan didn’t get a response from Su Xuan.

It was a bit awkward, to say the least.

But he quickly overcame that slight discomfort.

Rather than focusing on this matter, he was more eager to learn something else.

“First, tell us, what’s the basis for drawing this diagram?”

Hearing this, Su Xuan didn’t hide anything.

“I’ve reviewed the records.”

“Although Yue Fan only had one father, his grandfather’s generation actually had many brothers.”

“There was once a sister who was sent away, which is Yue Fan’s paternal aunt…”

“Coincidentally, this paternal aunt was brought to Hong Kong back then and married an old scavenger.”

“Later, that old man came into some unexpected wealth, bought several properties, and over a decade or so, the area got redeveloped…”

“The other party received compensation for several houses and has been living off the rent ever since…”

“These compensated houses are located in the Shuying Residential Complex..”
