Chen s.h.i.+ thought about it for a while, turned around, and walked into the housing district. He went to Lin Hui's house and took out the unlocking tools to pry the door open. Lin Dongxue hurried to stop him. “Don't do anything rash. We're investigating a case outside our city right now. Stick to the regulations more!”

”Lin Hui is missing right now, but the gang is still monitoring her house, indicating that there are clues here.”

”But don't pry the door open! I'll call Lin Hui's husband back.”

Chen s.h.i.+ laid down the tools in his hands and pondered, ”We can say that his house might be bugged and need to have a look?”

Lin Dongxue smiled. ”Okay, we'll use this reason. I'll make the call!”

Li Xiang claimed that he could only head back after he got off work and that he would call them when he went back. However, Chen s.h.i.+ insisted on waiting there to prevent Li Xiang from coming back and tidying up the house first. At the moment, he didn't understand the core of the case yet, and he couldn't trust any of the related parties too much.

The waiting process was naturally very boring. Lin Dongxue had long been accustomed to this and took out her phone to read novels. Chen s.h.i.+ had been thinking about something. ”You said that the car was very similar to mine?”

”Ah?” Lin Dongxue looked up from her phone. ”You mean the one parked here last night? It should be Li Xiang's friend!”

Chen s.h.i.+ seemed to have thought of something but kept silent.

At 6:00 in the evening, Li Xiang came back carrying a bag of vegetables in his hand. He said with a smile, ”You two have been waiting for a long time. Would you like to eat together?”

”No, we didn't plan to come to find you. We found suspicious people nearby this afternoon. I was wondering if someone has bugged your house with listening devices, so I want to come in and have a look.” Chen s.h.i.+ said.

”What? Listening device? What can they eavesdrop from this family? I only come back every day to play games and watch movies... Haii, I don't know who my wife has attracted.”

Chen s.h.i.+'s eyes fell on the vegetables in his hands. It was a full bag. It looked like there were a lot, but the leaves weren't very fresh. They looked like they were casually picked up from the supermarket. He said, ”You bought so many vegetables.”

”I place them in the freezer to eat slowly. Please come in!”

Upon entering the house, Li Xiang apologized, ”The house is messy. Please just sit down as you please.”

”The house is quite big. Do you have a toolbox?”

”I'll find it for you.”

Li Xiang entered the bedroom and closed the door, as if he was packing something up. Chen s.h.i.+ whispered to Lin Dongxue, ”He's hiding something!”

Then, Li Xiang came out. ”I remembered it wrong. It's in another room.”

He brought the toolbox out. Chen s.h.i.+ took a screwdriver to remove the electrical panel on the wall and checked areas that weren't noticeable. No wiretapping equipment was found. At this time, there was a garbage truck that came to collect the garbage. Li Xiang packed up two bags of garbage and was ready to throw it out.

Chen s.h.i.+ said, ”Let me do it!”

”No, no, the garbage in the toilet is very dirty. I'll do it myself.” Li Xiang said with a smile on his face.

”I'll do it!”

”No need, you can just take a seat.”

”Open it and show it to me!” Chen s.h.i.+'s eyes became serious.

Li Xiang also retracted his smile. ”Officer, you aren't suspecting me, right? I was at home when my wife disappeared.”

”Let me take a look.”

Li Xiang could only put down the garbage bag. Chen s.h.i.+ put on gloves to check the rubbish. It was full of used toilet paper and the smell was unforgettable. There were several used condoms at the bottom, and Li Xiang explained, ”It was a prost.i.tute I found on WeChat. My wife isn't at home, but I also have normal physiological needs! The reason I didn't let you see is mainly because I also need a little privacy, right?”

”Understood.” When Chen s.h.i.+ stuffed the condoms back, he hid one in his palm, then tied the bag up and gave it to Li Xiang, ”OK, you can go throw it out!”

After Li Xiang went out, Chen s.h.i.+ wrapped the condom in the gloves and was ready to take it back for testing.

Five minutes later, Li Xiang came back and asked, ”Is there anything else you need to ask?”
