Chapter 339 Suspect
Chapter 339 Suspect
"Yes, I understand." Bai Mengfei didn't need to know too many details; she already had a general idea.
After reviewing the information, she secretly resolved to solve the case in her own unique way, without being bound by convention.
After all, the body is no longer there, and the autopsy report has been reviewed, providing information such as the cause of death and the victim's identity. Therefore, relying solely on forensic methods to solve the case is unlikely to yield any breakthroughs; it is necessary to try cross-disciplinary investigative approaches.
After leaving the director's office, Bai Mengfei planned to leave the police station.
Seeing that she seemed to be leaving, Xiang Yuntian asked, "Where are you going?"
"Get out." Her mind was completely focused on the case, and her tone naturally became serious.
“But we’re working here right now,” Xiang Yuntian reminded him.
She didn't stop walking and replied, "Even outside the police station, you can still carry out your work. Essentially, there's no difference, is there?"
"So what are you planning to do now?" Xiang Yuntian pressed.
After a moment's thought, Bai Mengfei said, "Right now, I'm only thinking about finding out the truth of the case as soon as possible and giving the deceased justice."
“Yes, I understand,” Xiang Yuntian replied.
Following this, the two went to find Mingjing's older sister, Mingyue, based on the information in Bai Mengfei's memory.
Mingyue's husband's family wasn't particularly wealthy; they were just comfortably well-off. They lived in the same neighborhood, and perhaps because of Mingyue's poor eyesight, their home wasn't kept very tidy.
It was not Mingyue herself who opened the door, but her husband Dou Lian.
Dou Lian introduced his family situation and Mingyue's situation. After he finished speaking, he expressed some doubt about the two men's identities: "I have never seen you two before. Are you really police officers?"
Bai Mengfei had to clarify again: "We are not police officers, but forensic doctors."
"Oh, so you're forensic doctors!" Dou Lian nodded slightly, a look of sudden realization on his face. "I understand now. Actually, judging from your demeanor, I guessed you must be forensic doctors."
Upon hearing Dou Lian's praise, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian exchanged a glance. Then, they both turned to look at Dou Lian.
Dou Lian smiled faintly and said, "Alright, it's getting late, you see, it's almost dusk. How about this, I'll go buy some groceries first, you two can wait for me at home, and we can have dinner together later. My wife should be waking up soon!"
Bai Mengfei felt it wasn't right to bother others like this, so she said to Dou Lian, "No need, thank you."
"Oh, that's fine then," Dou Lian said with a smile. "So, are you two planning to leave now?"
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian immediately stood up and nodded in unison.
When the two left, it was indeed nearing dusk. They hadn't gained much valuable information from the trip, feeling it was somewhat of a waste of time.
Xiang Yuntian looked up at the setting sun and said somewhat dejectedly, "What a pity, I've wasted the whole afternoon."
"It's not a complete loss, at least we learned something," Bai Mengfei said.
Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but turn to look at Bai Mengfei, and said with a smile, "What? Can't you see all these details in the documents?"
"Okay, let's think about where to eat, right now," Bai Mengfei suggested.
Without hesitation, Xiang Yuntian said, "Okay, you eat whatever I eat, how about that?"
“That’s right!” Bai Mengfei said with a smile, “Of course, I’ll eat whatever you want to eat.”
"Well, that's good." Xiang Yuntian said with a smile.
The two then prepared to head to the restaurant together, but after taking only a few steps, they heard someone calling from behind. So they both stopped and turned around.
Dou Lian rushed over in a hurry.
Dou Lian said breathlessly, "You two haven't left yet? That's great!"
"What's wrong? Why are you running so fast? Is something the matter?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Dou Lian nodded seriously and said, "Yes, there's something I need to tell you. Regarding this case, there is actually someone who is very likely the murderer."
"Who?" Bai Mengfei immediately asked anxiously.
Xiang Yuntian naturally showed a look of surprise as he stared at Dou Lian.
Dou Lian pondered for a moment before saying to the two men, "Zhen Liang."
Just who is Zhen Liang?
In an instant, Bai Mengfei turned her head to look at Xiang Yuntian, who also frowned and looked back at her, both of them showing surprise.
Dou Lian hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Zhen Liang was Xiao Jing's boyfriend. However, it's said that they broke up shortly before Xiao Jing was murdered. After that, Xiao Jing disappeared for a while, so I think this Zhen Liang is very suspicious."
"Yes, thank you for the clue," Bai Mengfei said.
Dou Lian quickly shook his head and said, "You're welcome. I just suddenly remembered it. I hope this clue can help you solve the case."
Bai Mengfei smiled and nodded, saying, "I think so."
The two then left. In the car, Bai Mengfei began to discuss with Xiang Yuntian whether they should go and find Zhen Liang.
Xiang Yuntian said, "We definitely need to look for them, but not today. This case has been shelved for so long, we can't rush it, you understand?"
“Yes, I know. But speed is of the essence, and I think this case should be handled as soon as possible,” Bai Mengfei said.
Xiang Yuntian agreed, nodding slightly and saying, "Then we'll go first thing tomorrow morning."
"this is okay too."
That evening, after the two returned to the hotel, a coincidence occurred.
Just as they were about to go upstairs, they heard the landlord shout to a resident on the second floor: "Zhen Liang, you really need to pay your rent right away."
Upon hearing the boss call out this name, Bai Mengfei immediately turned to look at Xiang Yuntian.
Xiang Yuntian also frowned slightly, wondering whether he should go over and take a look.
"He just called out Zhen Liang, right?" Bai Mengfei asked in a low voice.
Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly and said, "That's right, it was indeed Zhen Liang who was called just now. Shall we go and take a look?"
“Okay,” Bai Mengfei replied.
Then, the two of them went over to check the situation.
When they arrived at the door, they saw the landlord and the tenant inside struggling and arguing fiercely, almost to the point of physical violence.
