Chapter 611 Who are you?
The other party kept shouting, which made Chen Xiao subconsciously stunned.

But after the other party finished speaking, Chen Xiao finally reacted.

The wife of the original owner of the old house seemed to be surnamed Chen.

When the old house was demolished, two options were given.

One is to compensate for one house with another, but the geographical locations of the compensated houses are different.

The next step is to compensate them with a smaller house at the original address, as well as financial compensation.

The original owner of the old house chose the second option.

They are an elderly couple who, due to medical conditions and their own physical condition, survived a life-threatening situation when they were young and had a child.

But later the child unfortunately died, and the old couple depended on each other for the rest of their lives.

Later, after the owners of the old house passed away one after another, the house became empty.

It is said that the relatives of the man and the woman competed for the old couple's inheritance for a period of time.

But in the end, the inheritance was given to the old man's nephew.

The reason is that it was their nephew who took care of the old couple during their last years.

The other party's sharp words now clearly showed that he suspected that Chen Xiao was from the old lady's family.

After sorting out all this, Chen Xiao explained: "Didn't the police who notified you tell you that I'm their criminal investigation consultant?"

"Ah? Criminal investigation consultant? They didn't say that! They just said someone was waiting for me in the community. When I heard your last name was Chen, I thought it was your aunt's family who went to the police station to make trouble again."

The man said, and then asked embarrassedly: "Have you arrived at the community now?"

"I've been waiting at the door for a while."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be right there."

The phone hangs up.

Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man riding an electric scooter and wearing flip-flops appeared in front of him.

"Hello, Consultant Chen. I'm sorry for what happened on the phone just now."

Chen Xiao shook his head: "It's okay, but Mr. Hu doesn't live here?"

"I have my own house, and my uncle and aunt's house is only that big, so my family lives in it too crowded."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao asked tentatively: "Mr. Hu is also a demolition household?"

"Yes, we have caught up with a good era. The country is developing, and those of us who live in good locations have enjoyed the benefits. So, when my aunt's family came to my house and cursed us, saying that we were after money, I didn't even want to argue with them."

"I don't need money myself, so why should I keep eyeing on my uncle and aunt's inheritance? It's because some people don't do anything and just want to reap the benefits. So, after my uncle and aunt left the inheritance to me, I kept the house and donated all the money. I didn't leave a penny to those bastards."

Chen Xiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up:
"I fully support what Mr. Hu is doing. I would rather donate it than leave a share for them."

"Haha, that's right! When my uncle and aunt were seriously ill and paralyzed in bed, I took them to the hospital and fed them and gave them water, and took care of their excrement and urine. Those bastards only come once every few months to bring some rotten fruits, and call it filial piety."

"Fuck it, do you really think there is no justice in this world?"

The man vented his anger, but soon returned to the topic:

"But Consultant Chen, as a criminal investigation consultant, why are you suddenly interested in my uncle's small house?"

"To be precise, I'm not interested in this small house, but the old house." Chen Xiao said, and then asked:
“The old house was demolished in 02, but wasn’t it uninhabited for a long time in 00?”

The man thought for a moment, then said, "Yes, yes, yes, my uncle and aunt had an accident in 00. My uncle fell while taking a shower at night, and my aunt found out and went to help him. Unexpectedly, one of them had a stroke and the other had a broken bone." "After my aunt crawled to call me, I rushed over and sent them both to the hospital. They stayed there for more than two months. During this period, almost no one lived in the old house."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "Does the old house have a basement?"

"Yes, it's a cellar. My uncle went to the north when he was young, and when he came back he dug a cellar to store things. Although the climate here is not suitable at all, that's my uncle's lifestyle, and he has the final say over his land, so no one will stop him even if others don't understand what he's doing."

"Is that cellar spacious, and does it have more than one entrance and exit?"

"Yes, sometimes I doubt that it is not a simple cellar. My uncle took me down there. There is a small passage. After reaching the center of the cellar, there is another small passage leading up."

"I also asked my uncle why he dug such a cellar. My uncle said that it was convenient to store things underground, and he also asked me to keep it secret, after all, it would be very troublesome if the authorities found out."

The man's words were undoubtedly telling Chen Xiao that Jin Peng might have really been fooled by the murderer.

Once this speculation is confirmed, the first crime scene will remain a secret.

Such a discovery is not a good thing for Chen Xiao.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xiao asked again: "What happened to the cellar later?"

"Before the demolition began, my uncle asked me to help him fill up the cellar, fearing that the demolition company might get a small cut and try to deduct the compensation."

This answer made Chen Xiao silent for a moment.

But after thinking about it, he took out Zhu Nianying's photo and asked:

"Do you know this woman? Think carefully, have you seen her before or after 00?"

The man took the piece of paper with a puzzled look on his face.

But the more he looked, the weirder the man's expression became, and he muttered:
"Why do I feel like I've seen her before?"

"She is a doctor, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."

"A Chinese medicine practitioner? Oh, it's her! I remember when my aunt broke her bones and was discharged from the hospital for physical therapy, she was invited to come. Yes, she was the one who provided follow-up diagnosis and treatment for my aunt!"

"Is he the doctor from Huang Zhao's Chinese Medicine Clinic?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Doctor Huang Zhao is very famous in our Shenzhen City. Don't be fooled by the small size of his clinic, but the potential power it contains is huge!"

The man praised.

But Chen Xiao did not respond to him, but fell into his own thoughts.

“Who is the murderer?”

"Is there really any relationship between him and Zhu Nianying?"

"Zhu Nianying has been to the old house, which means she is very likely to know that there is a basement in the old house. And if the murderer has some kind of relationship with her, did he know about the existence of the basement that connects both ends from Zhu Nianying?"

"But Zhu Nianying is not the type of person who likes to tell everyone she meets. She would only tell such a meaningless thing to people who are really familiar with her."

"Who is that person? In Shenzhen, apart from Qin Fei's parents, Huang Zhao and his family, who else can make her waste her breath talking about unimportant nonsense?"

Chen Xiao stood there thinking more and more deeply. The man beside him couldn't help but ask, "Advisor Chen, what are you thinking about?"

"Hmm? Nothing much. By the way, Mr. Hu, what's your full name?"

"My name is Hu Xianyou!"
