Chapter 521 Affectionate
"Sigh! It's not that easy to find clues to clear Captain Zhao's name."
Zhao Fei looked worried and sighed.
"How can we know if it will work if we don't try?" Bai Mengfei lowered her eyes and pondered to herself. "And where exactly is the first crime scene? The deceased might be able to give us some clues."
Zhao Fei immediately turned to look at her and asked, "There's a saying circulating online that before a person dies, their eyes reflect the last world they saw and can preserve images of that environment. Is that true?"
“It’s fake!” Bai Mengfei denied firmly. “But her stomach might tell us some key information.”
"What does this mean?" Zhao Fei asked, his face full of confusion.
“The things she ate before she died might reveal where she went. We can follow this clue and start an investigation. Or we can start with some traces left on her body, which might also uncover the truth. We must believe that hope lies ahead!” Bai Mengfei said resolutely.
Zhao Fei was truly at his wit's end and could only place his hopes on Bai Mengfei, so he nodded secretly and said, "Alright then! I'll do whatever you say."
"Okay!" Bai Mengfei responded softly, then said, "So you should get some rest now! Don't think about it too much for now, because thinking about it won't help now."
"Okay! I will." After saying that, Zhao Fei let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Bai Mengfei returned to her room first, but Zhao Fei's case remained lingering in her mind, and she couldn't let it go.
After entering the room, she looked up at the ceiling, pondering how to find the primary crime scene from the existing clues.
Currently, without the assistance of others, finding the primary crime scene is virtually impossible.
And then there's the woman who deliberately lured Zhao Fei; she's undoubtedly the key figure in solving the case. Because once we find her, she might reveal the mastermind behind it all, thus bringing the truth to light.
Just as she was engrossed in her thoughts, the phone rang suddenly. She picked it up and saw that it was Xiang Yuntian calling.
In Bai Mengfei's heart, Xiang Yuntian still held an important place, so she answered the phone without hesitation.
"Hello, is this Xiang Yuntian?" Bai Mengfei asked as she stood up and walked to the window.
All Bai Mengfei heard was Xiang Yuntian's "hmm" on the other end of the phone. The sound was somewhat muffled, and at first glance, Bai Mengfei couldn't even believe that it was Xiang Yuntian's voice.
"Why are you calling me so late? You could have just come to my room," Bai Mengfei said.
Xiang Yuntian explained, "I'm just trying to avoid suspicion! If I suddenly went to see you, I was worried people would gossip. I know you don't like those rumors, so I called you instead."
"So what do you want from me?" Bai Mengfei felt a little cold, so she raised her left hand and gently hugged herself.
Xiang Yuntian said, "Are you free now? Actually, I was thinking of inviting you to the rooftop to chat for a while."
Bai Mengfei thought that being alone in the room was quite boring, so she agreed: "Okay! Anyway, I need someone to keep me company right now, the pressure in my heart is just too much."
So the two agreed to meet on the rooftop.
Xiang Yuntian was already waiting on the rooftop. As soon as he saw Bai Mengfei arrive, he quickly went to greet her and asked, "Do you still have doubts about the misunderstanding you had about me on the phone before?"
Bai Mengfei gently shook her head and said, "No, I understand what happened."
"So, I'm still your boyfriend, right?" Xiang Yuntian looked at Bai Mengfei with anticipation, his eyes sparkling with hope.
Bai Mengfei nodded gently, following her own heart.
Xiang Yuntian then smiled happily and said excitedly, "That's great! I was worried that you were still angry with me about that matter. But things really aren't what you think."
“Now I understand!” Bai Mengfei said softly. “Besides that, there shouldn’t be anything else, right? If not, then I’d like to go back first.”
Seeing Bai Mengfei's cold attitude, Xiang Yuntian hurriedly stopped her.
At this moment, Xiang Yuntian understood that Bai Mengfei's mind was preoccupied with the case.
To appease Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian said, "Actually, I'm also very concerned about this case, since it concerns Captain Zhao's innocence. So, let's talk about this case, shall we?"
Xiang Yuntian knew that Bai Mengfei would definitely take the case very seriously, which was why she said that on purpose.
As expected, Bai Mengfei immediately turned to look at him and asked in confusion, "Sure! What are your thoughts?"
Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment before saying, "I think we might go back to the crime scene together and investigate more carefully. There might still be some important information about the deceased hidden there, which could help us solve the case."
As he spoke, Xiang Yuntian seemed somewhat flustered, because these ideas were all things he had come up with on the spur of the moment, and he had not thought about them in depth beforehand.
Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, agreeing with Xiang Yuntian's point of view, and said, "Alright! Let's go investigate. Although doing so might be illegal here, it's worth the risk to clear Captain Zhao's name!"
"Yes!" Xiang Yuntian also longed to fight alongside Bai Mengfei again and uncover the truth of the case together.
Just as the two were about to leave, a voice made them stop in their tracks. A cold, questioning voice came from behind: "Where are you two going at this hour?"
They turned around and realized it was a chapter.
Since the matter had already been discovered by Zhang Jie, they had no choice but to take Zhang Jie with them.
The three of them went to the second crime scene together, found disposable gloves, put them on, and began to carefully examine the items at the scene.
After some searching, Bai Mengfei discovered that the female victim had a boyfriend who had been involved in illegal and criminal activities for a long time.
Xiang Yuntian immediately decided: "We can start our investigation with this person."
Bai Mengfei nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay, let's do it that way."
Chapter, however, was somewhat worried, saying, "Although we know his contact information, he is a criminal. As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. If the three of us go there rashly, we might be in mortal danger."
"What else can we do?" Bai Mengfei asked in return.
Xiang Yuntian replied resolutely, "No matter how difficult it is, I will go on this adventure with you. Even if we face death, I will never back down!"
Hearing Xiang Yuntian's heartfelt and firm words, Bai Mengfei was deeply moved. She looked at Xiang Yuntian with certainty, her eyes revealing excitement.
The three of them then managed to contact the man.
However, the other person spoke Thai, so the three of them could only communicate with him in English.
