Chapter 334 More Important Than Life
As they spoke, she had already reached the door of the main office. Seeing that she had agreed to take charge of the case, Zhao Fei stopped and waited for her to go in instead of going in himself.
She didn't go in, but stopped and asked Zhao Fei, "Can I see that person alone?"
"Which person?" Zhao Fei asked, looking completely bewildered.
“Cai Qi.” Zhao Fei was clearly surprised when Bai Mengfei said this name. “I have something I want to ask him.”
"He's already confessed, what else could you possibly want from him?" Zhao Fei was utterly puzzled.
After taking a deep breath, Bai Mengfei said, "It's because of a personal matter." In fact, the personal matter she was referring to was something related to Wang Tian.
A woman's intuition told her that Wang Tian seemed to have made a mistake. Out of consideration for their past acquaintance, she still wanted to help Wang Tian.
Although Zhao Fei didn't understand, he trusted her, so he didn't ask any more questions and agreed directly.
That evening, after dinner, Bai Mengfei went to the interrogation room to see Cai Qi.
Cai Qi has now revealed his true colors, becoming somewhat insane, his eyes filled with hatred.
"What do you want from me?" Cai Qi asked coldly.
Bai Mengfei calmly pulled out a chair, sat down in front of him, and said, "I have some questions for you."
Cai Qi misunderstood, and lowered his head with a wry smile, "You've come to see me make a fool of myself, haven't you? Heh, I thought I hid it well enough, but I didn't expect you to find out in the end. But I accept my defeat, I knew this day would come anyway."
“Doing this won’t do you any good. Do you really just want to help the dead?” Bai Mengfei asked.
Cai Qi remained silent, only offering a bitter smile. Bai Mengfei then asked, "If that's truly the case, why did you kill me? And why did you frame Chu Anguo?"
“Chu Anguo, he’s not a good person either. He did some bad things you don’t know about. Anyway, that guy isn’t a good person,” Cai Qi replied. “As for you, I didn’t want to do it either, but someone had evidence of my crimes and forced me to do it. However, I messed up last night, so I got arrested today.”
"Who has the evidence against you?" Bai Mengfei asked suspiciously. "Was it Wang Tian?"
Cai Qi gave a wry smile and remained silent.
“If you tell the truth, I might be able to plead for you in front of the judge,” Bai Mengfei said.
Cai Qi suddenly leaned forward, staring intently into Bai Mengfei's eyes, and said, "Do you know that some things are more important than life itself? They've seized on this weakness to threaten me. I don't care about my life; I care more about my reputation."
Bai Mengfei seemed to understand something, but was not quite sure, and was in a daze for a moment.
At this point, Cai Qi surprisingly offered to leave so he could return and be imprisoned.
Zhao Fei and the others had no choice but to agree, while Bai Mengfei sat alone in the interrogation room, lost in thought.
She increasingly felt that Wang Tian must have someone helping her behind the scenes. That person was like water, capable of both supporting and capsizing a boat.
Today, that person is like fire, giving Wang Tian warmth, but tomorrow he might set her on fire.
For Wang Tian's sake, Bai Mengfei ultimately decided that it was necessary to talk to Wang Tian.
But just as she was leaving the interrogation room, Zhao Fei sent someone to tell her, "The person in charge of that case has arrived, and everyone is waiting for you to come over."
"Okay, I'll go right away." She had no choice but to put her search for Wang Tian on hold for the time being.
Afterwards, she went to the conference room and, together with Zhao Fei and others, met with the person who came to take over the case. The other party attached great importance to the case, saying that the murderer's methods were extremely cruel, and hoped that Zhao Fei and his team would follow up closely.
Zhao Fei agreed and kept saying that he would definitely do a good job.
However, when Bai Mengfei reviewed the slides, she noticed a detail and couldn't help but say, "This case wasn't committed by that murderer, because the cuts are different."
"How so?" the specialist who was giving the explanation asked, somewhat surprised.
Bai Mengfei stood up, walked slowly over, pointed to the photo on the slide, and said to everyone, "Look at the incision in this photo. What do you notice? Besides me, who else here is a forensic doctor?"
One of them raised his hand.
Bai Mengfei helped him stand up and asked, "How do you think this wound was caused? What are its characteristics?"
"This wound was left by the deceased before he died. It was cleaved open by a sharp weapon while the murderer was still alive, which is why the skin around the wound is so tight."
“That’s right, that’s exactly it!” Bai Mengfei affirmed.
Then, she turned to look at Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei immediately understood, tapped the table with his knuckles, and said, "I get it. So, the murderer is indeed not the killer in that serial murder case!"
“Yes!” Bai Mengfei affirmed. “The previous murderer dismembered the body after killing the victim, but this murderer attacked with a knife while the victim was still alive. Therefore, this case cannot be handled together with our case.”
But the other party didn't think so, and even felt that Bai Mengfei and the others were making excuses because they didn't want to investigate the case.
After discussing the matter with Zhao Fei for a long time and finding it useless, the person in charge of the other party said to Zhao Fei in a tough tone: "Anyway, the case has already been handed over, and you have to take it. We will contact your director later. The documents are all prepared, and now you say you won't take it, and the seal is already affixed? What kind of talk is that?"
Zhao Fei had no choice but to bite the bullet and take on the case.
When Zhao Fei handed the case over to Bai Mengfei, she didn't want to take it and explained her difficulties.
"Captain Zhao, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's just that I really can't. The murderer is on their side, how can we investigate?"
Zhao Fei understood this, but he was now in a dilemma. So he pulled out the chair in front of Bai Mengfei, sat down opposite her, and said, "Let's investigate!"
"There's really no way to check."
"But if I don't investigate, how can I explain it to my superiors?" Zhao Fei said with a dilemma.
Hearing Zhao Fei's earnest plea, Bai Mengfei finally made a decision: "Alright, I'll go home after get off work. I'll go check it out in their area tomorrow if I have time, okay?"
