Chapter 338 Shyness
"Yes, didn't I just tell you that on the phone?" Xiang Yuntian asked with a smile.
Bai Mengfei gave a soft "hmm" and then said, "Let me tell you about this case first?"
"Okay, but it's already noon. Shouldn't we find a place to eat something and also think about where to stay?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei suddenly realized the importance of Xiang Yuntian.
It turns out that all along, Xiang Yuntian had been playing a seemingly insignificant but crucial role—carefully taking care of her daily life.
But she herself always focused all her attention on the case.
So she agreed to Xiang Yuntian's request.
After the two left the police station, she immediately apologized to Xiang Yuntian: "I'm sorry, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiang Yuntian asked with a puzzled look, "Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?" Xiang Yuntian seemed both surprised and confused.
Bai Mengfei knew that Xiang Yuntian might be overthinking things, so she quickly explained, "I've always overlooked you before. Actually, you're really very important to me."
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's sudden and heartfelt confession, Xiang Yuntian smiled faintly. His smile held a hint of panic and shyness. "Why did you suddenly bring this up?"
"Because you weren't by my side these past few days, I've experienced a lot on my own and come to understand a lot," Bai Mengfei said solemnly.
It was somewhat inconvenient for the two to talk in front of the police station. Xiang Yuntian noticed this and, feeling a bit hesitant, said to Bai Mengfei, "Let's go eat instead, and talk while we eat, okay?"
"Okay, that's fine." Bai Mengfei nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, the two went to a restaurant for a meal.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Bai Mengfei brought up the previous topic again, but Xiang Yuntian seemed evasive and began ordering from the waiter. Holding the menu, he said to the waiter, "This, and this..."
Bai Mengfei stared intently at Xiang Yuntian's handsome face, a sudden feeling of anxiety welling up inside her. She worried that Xiang Yuntian would change his mind about her, that he would leave her and be with another girl.
So, after the waiter left, Bai Mengfei mustered her courage and made a bold move. She reached out her right hand and gently grasped Xiang Yuntian's hand.
Xiang Yuntian turned his head, looked into Bai Mengfei's eyes, frowned slightly, and asked gently, "What's wrong with you today?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to look at you like this, quietly looking at you." Bai Mengfei said, while carefully observing the expression in Xiang Yuntian's eyes, a hint of reluctance showing in her eyes.
Xiang Yuntian smiled and said to Bai Mengfei, "Then watch. I also like being watched by you like this. It makes me feel very special to you."
"You are irreplaceable to me, and you are the one who understands me best, so I hope you will never leave me!"
"Don't worry, I won't leave you," Xiang Yuntian assured him firmly.
Bai Mengfei nodded and said, "That's good."
After dinner, the two went to find temporary accommodations together. Xiang Yuntian wanted to stay in a hotel with Bai Mengfei, but Bai Mengfei felt that a guesthouse would be sufficient.
Ultimately, the two rented a hotel for a week.
Just after they settled into their accommodations, Zhao Fei called and asked Bai Mengfei, "What are your thoughts on this case? Have you found any clues?"
"I went to the crime scene this morning to check it out myself, but I didn't find anything special. I just felt that some places were suspicious."
Before Bai Mengfei could finish speaking, Zhao Fei said, "Okay, then you'll be in charge of following up on this case! I have other things to take care of. By the way, I called you to tell you that Xiang Yuntian has gone there. Did you see him?"
“Yes, he’s right next to me right now!” Bai Mengfei turned her head and glanced at Xiang Yuntian. “I already know about this.”
"Okay, that's good. That's what I wanted to say. Forensic Doctor Xiang will assist you in the investigation. You two must find out the truth about the case as soon as possible, understand?" Zhao Fei instructed.
Bai Mengfei hummed in agreement and nodded, then said, "We'll find out as soon as possible." As for what Gu Ling had told her, she didn't tell Zhao Fei.
Because she knew that if Zhao Fei heard those words, he would be furious!
After hanging up the phone, Bai Mengfei heard Xiang Yuntian ask, "What did Captain Zhao say on the phone?"
Bai Mengfei truthfully replied, "He told us to keep a close eye on this case and close it as soon as possible so we can go back and help."
Xiang Yuntian laughed heartily and said, "I knew it, you'd be talking about this. Alright, let's go back first."
"Okay, let's go back to the police station first," Bai Mengfei said, recalling. "We'll see then! I was just about to ask Gu Ling some questions, but I was so happy because you came that I forgot about it."
Hearing Bai Mengfei say that, Xiang Yuntian was also very happy. He immediately nodded and said confidently, "Then I'll drive faster, we'll be there soon."
Back at the police station, Bai Mengfei found Gu Ling and asked, "Do you have any information about the deceased before his death?"
"No, but our director definitely has it. I remember investigating it before and confirming the deceased's identity. I was just too busy and forgot."
Hearing the end, Bai Mengfei lowered her head and saw Gu Ling's phone on the table, the screen displaying the login interface for "Honor of Kings".
"You're really busy!" Bai Mengfei said, rolling her eyes at him before turning to Xiang Yuntian standing behind her. "Let's go ask the director for the deceased's information!"
"Ok!"
The two then went to the director's office and obtained the female victim's information.
The deceased woman was named Mingjing. She lost both her parents at a young age and lived with her older sister, Mingyue.
However, her older sister, Mingyue, is blind. Fortunately, she married a programmer and is now living a good life.
"Have you investigated the deceased's home?" Bai Mengfei asked the director.
The director immediately replied affirmatively, "Yes, I asked, but I didn't get any results. I only know that Mingjing is rather withdrawn and doesn't have many friends."
"Oh, I see!" Bai Mengfei nodded and said softly, "In other words, it's very unlikely that she has any enemies, which makes the case even more difficult to investigate."
The director suggested a possibility: "She was quite beautiful when she was alive, so the murderer may have killed her because of her beauty. The forensic examination showed that she had been abused before her death."
