Chapter 484 Satisfaction
Chapter 484 Satisfaction
After saying that, Zhao Fei took out the evidence bag again, his eyes fixed on the photo attached to the bag, examining it carefully.
Then, with a solemn expression, he said to Bai Mengfei, "I should check on the man in the photo first. In any case, my intuition tells me that he has some connection to this case."
“Alright, go ahead.” Bai Mengfei nodded slightly and replied softly.
After Zhao Fei left, Bai Mengfei did not leave immediately, but continued to conduct a detailed investigation at the scene.
She searched every corner with utmost concentration, but unfortunately, she found no new clues.
During this on-site investigation, she only confirmed two key things.
First, this is undoubtedly the scene of the first murder; second, the murderer was a heavy smoker.
As for Wang Tian, she and her colleagues spent a lot of time and energy conducting a thorough search of the scene, but they still came up empty-handed and found not a single valuable clue.
Bai Mengfei realized that continuing the investigation at the scene would likely yield little further progress, so she decided to leave. However, instead of returning directly, she went to the police station.
At the police station, Xiang Yuntian had successfully completed the live examination of the victim. He was sitting at his desk, a cup of coffee in his hand, savoring its aroma while intently writing the examination report.
Bai Mengfei entered the room and saw this scene. A gentle smile appeared on her face. She walked slowly forward and said softly, "Still busy?"
Xiang Yuntian raised his head, his gaze meeting Bai Mengfei's. A gentle smile naturally appeared on his lips as he said, "Yes. Have you finished your investigation of Cai'er's family?"
"Yes, it's over." Bai Mengfei nodded gently and walked slowly to Xiang Yuntian's side.
Xiang Yuntian then asked, "Did you make any new discoveries at the scene?"
“Yes. I’ve confirmed that Cai’er’s house is the primary crime scene, and I’ve also discovered that the murderer is a heavy smoker.” Bai Mengfei paused slightly before continuing, “In addition, Captain Zhao found a rather suspicious photograph at the scene, and he’s currently investigating the owner of the photograph to find out who the man in the photo with Cai’er is.”
"Is that the only group photo taken at the scene?" Xiang Yuntian pressed.
Bai Mengfei nodded slightly, pulled out the chair next to her, sat down slowly, and said calmly, "That's right, there's only that one."
Xiang Yuntian said "Oh," his brows furrowing slightly. After a moment's thought, he said, "In that case, that person is indeed highly suspicious and needs to be thoroughly investigated."
Bai Mengfei gently shook her head, her eyes calm and firm, and analyzed in a steady tone: "I don't think that person is very suspicious. The scene was obviously cleaned up by the murderer, but the photo was left in a very conspicuous place. If he really is the murderer, according to normal human thinking and behavior logic, he would definitely choose to take the photo away or tear it up directly, and would never leave the photo at the scene like this."
“You’re right.” Xiang Yuntian stopped what he was doing, nodded slightly in agreement, and then added, “However, from a psychological point of view, if the other party is a criminal genius with extremely high criminal intelligence, he is very likely to do this on purpose, setting up an empty city tactic to lure us in.”
“That possibility certainly exists.” Bai Mengfei frowned slightly, fell into a brief moment of thought, and then asked, “By the way, how is the forensic work progressing in the case you’re in charge of? Is the current evidence sufficient to prosecute the man who abused his wife? Can it prove that he had the intent to murder?”
Xiang Yuntian sighed deeply, a hint of helplessness and regret on his face, and said, "At present, the evidence is not sufficient. How should I put it, this evidence can at most prove that this man has committed domestic violence against his wife, or it can even be explained as a kind of playful fighting between husband and wife."
"So how do you plan to help that lady?" Bai Mengfei asked with concern.
Xiang Yuntian shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and said, "I really want to help her, but I'm powerless. The situation of the case is right in front of us, as you and I both know. The investigation is too difficult. As long as he refuses to admit it, we really can't do anything about it."
Bai Mengfei nodded in agreement, and after thinking for a moment, suggested, "How about this, let's go home first."
Upon hearing the word "home," Xiang Yuntian's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked up at Bai Mengfei in disbelief and asked in astonishment, "You mean, we're going home together?"
“Yes, let’s go home together.” Bai Mengfei repeated firmly, her eyes full of tenderness.
After confirming that he hadn't misheard, Xiang Yuntian was as excited as a child, his face beaming with a bright smile, and he said eagerly, "Then let's go, let's go back now!"
After saying that, he quickly operated the computer and printed out the test report.
When he left the police station with Bai Mengfei, he placed the test report on Zhao Fei's desk and carefully weighed it down with an ornament on the desk to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
Later, on their way out, Xiang Yuntian explained, "Actually, I really sympathize with that woman's situation. When I was examining her, I even advised her to divorce her husband. But she's too stubborn and absolutely refuses to divorce him. She feels that her husband is doing this so that he can find a mistress after the divorce, so she'd rather die than let him succeed. I really couldn't do anything about it."
After listening, Bai Mengfei agreed and said, "You are right to do this. We must do our job well and not deliberately falsify reports based solely on our feelings or subjective emotions. Otherwise, if our judgment is wrong, it will not only affect the fairness and impartiality of the judiciary, but may also wrong innocent people."
"Mmm!" Xiang Yuntian smiled happily upon receiving Bai Mengfei's approval.
The two returned together to Xiang Yuntian's former residence.
Bai Mengfei walked into the room with ease, as if she were in her own home.
After all, this is where she has lived since her rebirth.
She habitually took out a change of clothes from the wardrobe, preparing to take a shower. Just then, Xiang Yuntian suddenly called out softly, "Mengfei!"
Hearing Xiang Yuntian's gentle call, Bai Mengfei's heart trembled slightly. She slowly turned her head and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Actually, when she first heard Xiang Yuntian call her "Mengfei", she was full of doubts and even doubted her own ears.
The reason is simple: no one has called her that for a long time; people mostly call her "Zhang Ting".
Xiang Yuntian slowly walked up to her, but kept his head down, as if there was something he couldn't say.
Bai Mengfei was filled with curiosity. She raised her head in confusion and carefully examined Xiang Yuntian.
Xiang Yuntian hesitated for a long time before finally mustering his courage. He raised his head, his eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness, and said, "I've been thinking, do I have a chance to marry you? Actually, I've always wanted to ask this question, but I've never had the courage. I know it's presumptuous of me to ask, but I really want to know the answer. Can you tell me?"
Bai Mengfei smiled faintly after hearing this, nodded slightly, and said, "I understand. My answer is that it is indeed possible. Are you satisfied now?"
"Yes! Very satisfied!" Xiang Yuntian's face was beaming with a happy smile, his eyes filled with joy and satisfaction.
