Chapter 711: Are the Eyes Deceiving Me?

Looking at Gao Zhun’s reaction.

This guy had already carried out crisis preemption and implemented crisis avoidance measures before the task force approached him.

Without crisis avoidance, how could a father lose track of his son’s whereabouts?

Especially where the whereabouts of the only child are concerned!

So, Gao Zhun definitely has issues.

The only distinction is whether his issues are related to the case Chen Xiao and the others are investigating.

Gao Zhun looked up with a seemingly meaningful glance at Chen Xiao, then said with a bitter smile:

"Advisor Chen, as the deputy director of Xiaozhuang South Town Police Station, I’ve always been enthusiastic about your arrival. Usually, I’m not like this at all. I’ve treated you with courtesy, but I really don’t understand why you have prejudices against me?"

"No one has any prejudice against you because Ye Changhuai is also being interviewed next door." Chen Xiao directly responded to Gao Zhun.

The latter was instantly contemplative and then somewhat skeptically asked, "Director Ye has also been brought here for questioning?"

"If you think we are lying, you’ll naturally see the scene of them being interviewed when you go out later."

Upon hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Gao Zhun inexplicably asked, "Why is this happening?"

Actually, with Gao Zhun’s response, it’s basically confirmed that this deputy director of Xiaozhuang South Town Police Station definitely has issues.

However, Chen Xiao didn’t respond to him but spoke earnestly:

"You know Dayou, you have issues; Dayou told us. He can read palms and faces; at your first handshake, your hand bones alarmed his heart."

"So in Qin Fei and my mind, the moment we knew of you, you were already marked with a big question mark. Today we summoned you and your son to the police station, but you had your child escape. Gao Zhun, do you think a task force from the provincial department can come to investigate the case and reach you, and you can really send your child away?"

Once Chen Xiao finished speaking, Gao Zhun subconsciously pondered.

The period of contemplation was short, and Gao Zhun immediately returned to his normal state.

Just as he was about to speak, Chen Xiao interrupted, "Dayou already found your son’s whereabouts; judging by the timeline, you should be able to calculate that he is still in Fengshan County, right?"

"Impossible, I already had him..."

Speaking of Gao Zhun’s son’s whereabouts, Gao Zhun was no longer as composed as before.

The meaning behind his unrestrained words needed no further explanation.

Chen Xiao looked at him, and he looked at Chen Xiao.

"You’ve had him leave long ago, right? But he hasn’t gone; perhaps it’s because ever since childhood, as long as he’s within Xiaozhuang South Town, regardless of what trouble he gets into, you as a father will always cover for him."

"People tend to unconsciously choose what they perceive as the safest way when faced with situations, which is known as the comfort zone. However, when I heard he really wanted to go, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed. He probably isn’t the person I’m looking for. The person I’m searching for would make a choice that astonishes everyone at this moment."

Chen Xiao spoke while pondering.

Listening to his words, Gao Zhun’s mind was already a bit of a mess.

"Advisor Chen, I think you must have misunderstood my son and me. I’m a policeman, despite only being an officer at the police station, I’ve always remembered my duty as a policeman, and my child has been meticulously educated from a young age; he understands and abides by the law."

Chen Xiao had no intention of dealing with Gao Zhun.

Because with Gao Zhun’s reactions, Chen Xiao could be sure that the suspect in Yuan Keyu’s case was unlikely to be Gao Yao.

Gao Zhun arranged for his son to leave Xiaozhuang South Town after the task force arrived, purely because of other cases.

But if Gao Yao is ruled out.

Then, could the suspicion be directed at someone else?

The son of Xiaozhuang South Town Police Station Director Ye Changhuai, Ye Jun!

With this thought, Chen Xiao frowned as he got up, preparing to leave the interrogation room.

Seeing him about to leave, Gao Zhun couldn’t help but call out emotionally, "Advisor Chen, please tell me clearly what you plan to do! You are controlling me and arresting my child; is there no rule or law in a police station where a policeman works?"

"Do you intend to convict me just based on the words of some so-called fortune teller?"

Gao Zhun became increasingly agitated as he spoke.

Chen Xiao glanced back at him without saying anything extra.

He didn’t want to waste any more time on Gao Zhun.

Indeed, dismissing the suspicion surrounding Gao Zhun’s father-son duo was entirely based on Chen Xiao’s intuition.

Intuition can never be used as strong evidence.

Yet a detective must follow his intuition.

Upon leaving the interrogation room, Sun Zhou and Qin Fei wanted to have a word with him.

But Chen Xiao gestured for them not to inquire and walked straight to another interrogation room.

Standing by the window, Chen Xiao saw Ye Changhuai and his child, Ye Jun.

Like Gao Yao, Ye Jun was over nineteen but not yet twenty.

However, in terms of academics, Gao Yao seemed to be more earnest than Ye Changhuai.

After the June exams, Ye Jun, due to unsatisfactory grades, directly enrolled in Zhushan City’s teacher training college.

In the future, he would likely pursue a career in teaching.

Gao Yao, of similar age to Ye Jun, also completed the most important college entrance exams in June.

Gao Yao’s scores were slightly better than Ye Jun’s, but he missed the cutoff for Tier 1 schools, so he chose to repeat his studies.

Based on obtained information, it’s clear that Gao Zhun hopes his child can get into a good school, preferably at least a 211 institution.

As for Ye Jun, Ye Changhuai seems more accepting.

Given the child’s scores are still some distance from Tier 2, just hoping for his health and safety is enough.

Such a decision fits Ye Changhuai’s character well.

After all, as the director of the police station, he never competes or argues.

He takes care of what he’s supposed to and never meddles in what he shouldn’t.

Could the child of such a police station director be like those depicted in the movies?

Chen Xiao felt that possibility was slim.

Unless there are unknown circumstances involved!

Chen Xiao looked through the window at Ye Jun inside wearing glasses.

With a crew cut, he appeared overly honest, and somewhat dull.

His palms clasped together, making him look a bit awkward and uneasy.

When Cao Xiuyuan questioned Ye Jun, he responded, but after a few words, would look at his father.

He looked nothing like a young man capable of orchestrating a massive crime.

But Chen Xiao knew that some people become adept at disguising themselves with life experiences, and that sometimes eyes can deceive.

But were his eyes deceiving him at this moment?
