113: Chapter 113 Your wife didn't run off with someone else, she's right here at your house!

After listening to Qi Xiu's story, the viewers were filled with righteous indignation.

"How despicable! Running off with the money and cuckolding her husband!"

"I support Big Brother in breaking that pretty boy's legs!"

"The money must be recovered! That's Big Brother's hard-earned money from moving bricks!"

"Master Su, quickly use your powers! Root out this pair of scoundrels!"

Su Yun ignored the noisy bullet chat.

Leaning back in his chair, he called up the system panel in his mind.

"System, investigate the information of Qi Xiu and Li Juan."

[Ding! Tianji Divine Calculation has been activated!]

A golden light, visible only to Su Yun, flashed by.

The detailed information of the two appeared directly in Su Yun's field of vision.

[Name: Qi Xiu]

[Age: 42]

[Occupation: Construction Site Foreman]

[Recent Fortune: Great Misfortune (Black aura over the head, family ruined and members dead)]

[Past: Generous and loyal, extremely doted on his wife, Li Juan...]

[Future: ...]

[Sin Value: 5]

[Detailed Crimes: ...]

...

"M-Master Su, have you figured it out?"

"Where did they run off to?"

Su Yun put down his teacup, his tone very flat.

"Qi Xiu, there's no need to look."

"Your wife didn't run away with anyone; she's in your house right now."

...

Qi Xiu stood rooted to the spot.

He raised his rough hand and rubbed his ears vigorously, thinking he must have misheard.

"Master Su, are you joking?" Qi Xiu waved his hands repeatedly, his head shaking like a rattle. "I go home every night! The house is only so big, a two-bedroom apartment. If there was someone there, how could I not know?"

Qi Xiu's face turned red with anxiety, and the veins on his neck bulged.

"I've even looked under the bed and in the wardrobe, there's no one at all! Besides, it's been half a month. A living person would have starved to death long ago without eating, drinking, or using the bathroom!"

The bullet chat in the livestream also exploded.

The viewers completely failed to understand Su Yun's claim.

"Exactly! How could a living person hide in a house for half a month without being noticed?"

"Unless his home is one of those multi-thousand-square-meter villas with a basement or an attic."

"Look at Big Brother's background in the construction site dormitory and his outfit. Does he look like someone who lives in a big villa?"

"Did Master Su get it wrong this time? This completely defies common sense."

"Not showing up for half a month... unless they're hiding above the ceiling."

"Don't talk nonsense, the person before me. No becoming spirits after the founding of the PRC!"

"I think Master Su must have his reasons. We'll know if we keep watching."

Su Yun leaned back in his executive chair.

Ignoring the noisy bullet chat, he picked up the teacup beside him and took a slow sip of water.

He looked at Qi Xiu, who was pacing anxiously on the screen.

"Jiangcheng South District, Xingfu Community, Building 3, Apartment 402." Su Yun recited a string of addresses in a flat tone. "This is your home, right?"

Qi Xiu nodded vigorously, his eyes bulging.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's my home! It's a second-hand house I just bought three months ago."

"Master Su, your calculation is so accurate!"

Qi Xiu was now completely convinced by Su Yun.

Knowing even his apartment number so clearly, this was definitely an expert with real ability.

Su Yun put down his teacup and tapped his finger on the desk.

"Enough talk. Leave the construction site right now, hail a cab by the road, and go home immediately."

Hearing this, Qi Xiu didn't say another word. He grabbed a yellow hard hat nearby, slapped it on his head, and turned to run out.

He rushed out of the temporary dormitory, crossed the construction site piled with steel bars and cement, and ran all the way to the main road.

Qi Xiu waved his hand anxiously by the roadside.

A green taxi stopped in front of him.

"Driver, to Xingfu Community in the South District! Please hurry!"

Qi Xiu pulled open the car door and slid directly into the back seat.

He held his phone up in front of him, his eyes fixed intently on Su Yun on the screen.

The taxi started and sped along the road.

"Master Su, is my wife really at home?" Qi Xiu's voice trembled slightly, his hands gripping the frame of his phone tightly. "Is she angry with me and hiding in some corner on purpose to scare me?"

Qi Xiu swallowed hard, his eyes turning red again.

"As long as she's home, it's fine. Even if she hits me or scolds me, as long as she's safe and sound, I'll do whatever she wants."

Su Yun sighed as he watched the bumpy footage on the screen.

This guy really is a devoted lover; what a pity.

"Don't be in a hurry yet," Su Yun said unhurriedly. "Let me ask you, besides you and your wife, who else usually lives in that house?"

Qi Xiu was stunned for a moment and quickly replied.

"There's also my younger brother, Qi Gang."

"He just graduated from university this year and is preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam."

"I thought it would be quiet at home, so I had him move in with us."

When Qi Xiu mentioned his brother, a proud expression appeared on his face.

"As his older brother, I'm uneducated. I didn't even finish junior high before I started working on construction sites."

"But my brother is a college student! Our Qi family is counting on him to get into grad school and bring honor to our ancestors."

Qi Xiu continued.

"He's been staying in the second bedroom. He usually just reads and reviews in his room and rarely goes out."

"My wife is the one who brings his meals to him."

Su Yun raised his eyebrows.

"So you bought this house, and to let your brother study for the exam, you let him move in?"

Qi Xiu nodded.

"Yes, the house was bought three months ago."

"To give my brother a good learning environment, I specifically spent a large sum of money to renovate the second bedroom."

Qi Xiu scratched his hair.

"I installed soundproof walls and bought a good desk and chair."

"My wife even bickered with me a bit over this, saying I was being reckless with money and throwing it all at my brother."

"But she was just talking; she still served him good food and drink as usual."

Su Yun didn't respond.

He called up the system panel in his mind.

On the panel, behind Qi Gang's name, followed a string of glaring red numbers.

Subsequently, he used his knowledge of chemistry to process the body and bricked it into the gap of the newly renovated "load-bearing wall bookshelf" in the second bedroom, sleeping beside the corpse day and night while claiming to the outside world that his sister-in-law had absconded with the money...]
