Chapter 290 Why
Chapter 290 Why
Seeing Bai Mengfei's resolute appearance, Xiang Yuntian felt a pang of guilt. He thought to himself that he and Zhao Fei, as men, always had to rely on Bai Mengfei to take the lead in solving cases.
In reality, he also knew that Bai Mengfei was far less strong than everyone imagined.
"Sigh!" He suddenly let out a long sigh as he thought about it.
Bai Mengfei immediately noticed, but didn't ask any further questions, because she knew that asking wouldn't make any difference.
She quickly turned her attention back to the body and began a more thorough examination.
While examining the body, she made an unexpected discovery: a single strand of hair.
This is no ordinary strand of hair. The deceased woman had medium-length, slightly wavy, brown hair, but this strand was short, straight, and black.
Upon seeing the hair, Bai Mengfei immediately picked it up gently from the cut on the corpse, held it between her fingers, and examined it carefully.
Under the light, this strand of hair stood out prominently.
"My God! How could we find such a hair?" Xiang Yuntian stood aside in astonishment.
Bai Mengfei took a deep breath and said, "This is very likely something the murderer left behind!"
"Left by the murderer? Could it be from one of the police officers? We can't be mistaken!" Xiang Yuntian said seriously.
In fact, Bai Mengfei had already considered this point. Hearing him say this, Bai Mengfei replied, "Even if it was a mistake, it was that officer's error, not our responsibility, so it's not within our scope of responsibility. What we need to do now is find the owner of this hair."
“How easy is it to find a person based on just one hair!” Xiang Yuntian said.
Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed not easy, but this case itself is very complicated, isn't it? Moreover, the murderer has committed crimes repeatedly and has already killed more than one person. Let me tell you, we cannot give up even if there is only a single clue."
Hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian smiled wryly and said, "Alright, this is indeed a clue."
No sooner had they finished speaking than they heard a hurried voice from the doorway: "Something's wrong, Zheng Yueru is leaving!"
The voice was familiar, and after a moment's thought, the two recognized it as Wang Tian's voice.
At the same time, the two turned their heads at the same time and saw Wang Tian rushing in.
Wang Tian was always impulsive and somewhat impatient, and this time was no exception. Bai Mengfei, on the other hand, appeared very calm. After all, Zheng Yueru's departure was within her expectations, and she knew it was only a matter of time.
Seeing Wang Tian's panic, Xiang Yuntian stepped forward and said, "You don't need to be in such a hurry."
"No, forensic doctor Xiang, if she leaves, she might cross the border," Wang Tian said anxiously.
Bai Mengfei pondered to herself, feeling that her words made sense, but upon further reflection: this matter should not be told to her, but rather to Zhao Fei, right?
So Bai Mengfei gently raised her head, looked at her, and said, "But this is something we shouldn't be telling you, is it?"
"Well, I just went to see Captain Zhao." Wang Tian lowered her head, shrugged, and showed a helpless expression. "But after Captain Zhao heard about it, he told me to come to you. I had no choice but to come."
"Captain Zhao actually sent you to find us?" Bai Mengfei pondered to herself for a moment.
Then, she looked up at Xiang Yuntian and gestured for him to come with her to find Zhao Fei.
Upon seeing this look, Xiang Yuntian immediately understood, and the two left the morgue and headed to Zhao Fei's office.
However, before they even reached Zhao Fei's office, just as they entered the corridor, they saw Old Chen rushing towards them. Xiang Yuntian tried to step aside to let Old Chen pass, and Old Chen also tried to step aside, resulting in the two bumping into each other.
Both of them were knocked to the ground. Xiang Yuntian quickly stood up, braced himself with his hands, and walked quickly to Old Chen's side to help him up.
"Mr. Chen, are you alright?" Xiang Yuntian asked politely.
Old Chen sighed, picked up the documents, and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing."
Old Chen looks much older now. Although they all work at the same police station, they haven't paid much attention to him for a long time.
Bai Mengfei, thinking that Old Master Chen was getting on in years, offered to help him collect the documents. Unexpectedly, while helping him collect the documents, she discovered a bank withdrawal slip.
In an instant, Bai Mengfei's eyes narrowed, a sharp glint flashing within them. She quickly looked up at Elder Chen, but remained silent.
Old Chen and she exchanged a glance, and Old Chen lowered his head guiltily, remaining silent.
After picking up all the documents, Old Chen hurriedly left with a pile of files in his arms.
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian turned their heads simultaneously, watching Old Chen's slightly hunched figure recede into the distance. Both were gazing at Old Chen's back, but the expressions in their eyes were completely different.
Bai Mengfei's eyes were clearly filled with suspicion.
Xiang Yuntian, however, was not so suspicious. He took a deep breath and said to Bai Mengfei, "Sigh, shouldn't Old Chen retire soon?"
"I think so!" Bai Mengfei replied in a muffled voice.
Wang Tian didn't notice any of this and urged the two of them again, "Shall we hurry up and go?"
"it is good!"
After the three arrived at Zhao Fei's office, Zhao Fei immediately stood up when he saw Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei, walked around the desk, lowered his posture, and went directly to Bai Mengfei.
Although he had already guessed Bai Mengfei's identity, he still did not reveal the truth, preferring to lower himself in front of Bai Mengfei and treat her with a better attitude.
"Zhang Ting!" Zhao Fei said to Bai Mengfei, "Now I'm putting Zheng Yueru's case in your hands. What do you think? I have a lot of things to do here. If Officer Zheng makes any discoveries or doesn't understand anything, you'll have full authority to handle it."
Upon hearing that Zhao Fei had assigned the case to Bai Mengfei, Wang Tian immediately felt dissatisfied. In her limited understanding, wasn't Xiang Yuntian more experienced than Zhang Ting?
What makes Zhang Ting qualified to take over?
