Chapter 493 Strange Things
Bai Mengfei gently pushed open the door and entered the room, where she immediately saw Xiang Yuntian tidying up the bedding.
"What were you thinking about while you were eating?" Bai Mengfei asked softly as she slowly walked towards Xiang Yuntian.
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's question, Xiang Yuntian turned to look at her. He blinked secretly, then took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "It's nothing."
"Really nothing?" Bai Mengfei asked suspiciously.
Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly and said, "Of course it's true. If I'm lying to you, may I sleep on the floor tonight."
Bai Mengfei also laughed, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile.
After a faint laugh, Bai Mengfei said, "It seems you already knew your 'fate,' because you were supposed to sleep on the floor tonight. Tell me, what are you thinking? Are you trying to lie to me?"
Seeing Bai Mengfei's expression suddenly turn serious, Xiang Yuntian dared not joke anymore and honestly said, "Okay, actually I wasn't thinking about the case just now, but about the two of us."
"Us? What could possibly happen between us?" Bai Mengfei asked疑惑地.
Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath and then said, "Actually, I'm planning to go into business. You know, I've had this idea for a while now. There are many reasons for this, and I believe you can understand them. My biggest wish is that you can join me."
After saying that, Xiang Yuntian stared intently into Bai Mengfei's eyes with pleading eyes, hoping that she would agree to his request.
However, Bai Mengfei secretly turned her head away and whispered, "I don't want to, because you know I have my own considerations."
"What aspects were considered?" Xiang Yuntian pressed.
Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment and said, "Have you forgotten how I died in my past life? I must catch that murderer, not only for myself, but also to avenge those innocent people who died unjustly. Also, I love the profession of forensic medicine. I think these two reasons alone are enough to keep me going."
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian was speechless for a moment, not knowing what else to say, so he could only lower his head and fall silent.
Realizing that the two disagreed, Xiang Yuntian decided to put the matter aside for the time being. He turned around, obediently picked up the mattress, and prepared to sleep on the floor.
Just then, Bai Mengfei stepped forward and stopped him, saying, "There's no need to do that."
"Hmm?" Xiang Yuntian looked puzzled.
Bai Mengfei shifted her gaze to the bed and then said, "You can sleep in the bed tonight."
Xiang Yuntian asked, somewhat bewildered, "Then where will you sleep?"
"I...I'll sleep in the bed too." Bai Mengfei's voice trailed off at the end. The reason she made this decision was because she knew Xiang Yuntian was a gentleman.
Xiang Yuntian was overjoyed to hear Bai Mengfei's decision. In his view, it meant that Bai Mengfei had accepted him from the bottom of her heart.
However, after lying down, Xiang Yuntian remained obedient and dared not make any big movements.
Bai Mengfei also fell asleep quickly because of Xiang Yuntian's quietness.
The next day, for some unknown reason, perhaps due to the fatigue of the journey, all three of them slept until noon.
However, they did go to bed very early last night.
At noon, Bai Mengfei was the first to wake up.
As soon as she got up, she subconsciously checked the time and found that it was already 12:01 pm.
She immediately nudged Xiang Yuntian, who was lying next to her.
All that could be heard was Xiang Yuntian muttering to himself, "Don't make a sound, I'm so sleepy."
"Wake up!" Bai Mengfei shouted. "It's already midday, and we're here to work."
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian quickly sat up in bed. However, he still felt his eyelids were heavy and he could hardly open them.
Looking at the sky outside and checking the time, Xiang Yuntian realized that it was indeed noon.
He couldn't help but ask, "How long have we been sleeping?"
“It’s been more than twelve hours,” Bai Mengfei replied.
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian quickly got out of bed and ran to wash up, trying to rouse himself.
After they had finished getting ready, they went to the dormitory next door and woke up Wang Tian.
When Wang Tian woke up, she couldn't believe she had slept for so long. After discussing it, the three decided to put the strange incident aside for now and go find Uncle Shi to start investigating the case.
However, before they could even go downstairs, Uncle Shi came up and said to them, "I was just about to call you guys for dinner! You must have gone to bed very late last night? Why do you three have such dark circles under your eyes?"
Upon hearing Uncle Shi's words, Wang Tian immediately retorted, "No, we went to bed quite early last night."
Bai Mengfei turned her head, glanced at Wang Tian, and secretly gave her a wink.
Uncle Shi immediately sensed something was wrong, frowned, and asked, "Are you all alright?"
"It's nothing." After saying that, Bai Mengfei said, "Uncle Shi, shall we go and see those three corpses? I want to start the investigation from the corpses."
Uncle Shi said, "It's already noon. You didn't eat breakfast, so you have to eat lunch."
Wang Tian also felt a bit hungry, so she agreed with Uncle Shi's suggestion, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's go eat with Uncle Shi first."
Since Wang Tian and Uncle Shi had both said so, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian didn't say anything more. So, the three of them followed Uncle Shi to the cafeteria for lunch.
While they were eating, they overheard police officers discussing the three cases, with some even speculating that the three young women might have been friends and had offended someone.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.
Bai Mengfei felt that their analysis made some sense and was quite imaginative, but it lacked the courage to put it into practice, take the initiative to investigate, and work hard to find evidence.
After the meal, Bai Mengfei arrived at the morgue as she had wished.
Led by the local forensic doctor, she and Xiang Yuntian finally saw the three bodies.
"How do you know they were violated before they died? Weren't there any traces of semen or anything like that left on their bodies?" Xiang Yuntian asked.
The forensic doctor shook his head and said, "No. As for why they were found to have been assaulted, it's because they... well, you'll see for yourselves."
Upon hearing the forensic doctor's words, Bai Mengfei lifted the covering and took a look, immediately understanding. The swelling marks on the body were very obvious.
After reading it, Bai Mengfei commented, "However, it is not very accurate to conclude that they were assaulted by men based solely on this."
The forensic doctor said, "I never said they were assaulted by men, I only said they were indeed assaulted, that's a fact. Oh, and one more thing, look at their necks. I feel the killer wore gloves when he killed them, but I can't be completely sure."
