Chapter 436 Wang Tian Disappears Again
Chapter 436 Wang Tian Disappears Again
In the evening, it was time to rest.
Since the room was shared by Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian, and there was only one bed in the room, Bai Mengfei considerately offered the bed to Wang Tian. She knew in her heart that Wang Tian harbored resentment towards her and would never be willing to share a bed with her.
Wang Tian, however, said coldly and stiffly, "No need, you go to sleep yourself. I'm not sleepy at all, and I plan to sleep during the day. You rest first tonight."
Upon hearing Wang Tian's words, Bai Mengfei no longer declined and lay down to sleep.
However, around midnight, Bai Mengfei faintly heard some strange noises coming from outside. She didn't get up immediately, but remained lying on her side with her right arm under her head, quietly listening intently.
Wang Tian had said she wouldn't sleep, but because she was so exhausted, she unknowingly fell asleep on the sofa, completely unaware of the deliberately lowered footsteps.
It was the sound of footsteps, slowly approaching the room.
At this moment, Bai Mengfei faced a difficult choice: should she get up or not?
If I get up to investigate, I might be put in danger of being killed; but if I don't get up, I'm worried that I'll miss the chance to discover the killer's true identity.
Just as she hesitated, the door to the room was quietly opened. But Bai Mengfei remembered clearly that she had checked the door earlier and made sure it was locked.
Moreover, Mu Zhen had previously given them the room keys, which were kept by Wang Tian.
At this moment, the person had already entered the room. Bai Mengfei was startled and wanted to shout for help, but she was afraid of alerting the person and giving them the opportunity to escape. So, she suppressed her tension and fear, held back the urge to make a sound, and waited quietly to see what this person intended to do.
After waiting for a while, Bai Mengfei sensed that the person was walking towards Wang Tian's direction.
She quietly opened her eyes and stole a glance. She saw that person standing next to Wang Tian, holding a piece of cloth in his hand.
Bai Mengfei's intuition told her that this piece of cloth was no ordinary object and was very likely soaked in something like sleeping potion.
Bai Mengfei frowned slightly, wondering to herself: Who is this person? What does he want? Unfortunately, it was impossible to identify him from behind, and from the back view, it was clear that he was wearing a black hood.
Just then, the man raised the cloth and covered Wang Tian's face directly with it. The moment the cloth was placed over her, Wang Tian instinctively woke up, but before she could struggle, she fell unconscious.
Bai Mengfei, worried that Wang Tian would suffocate, tensed up and quickly threw off the covers, rushing over. Unexpectedly, the person reacted extremely quickly, immediately releasing Wang Tian, reaching out to grab Bai Mengfei's outstretched arm, and then performing an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming Bai Mengfei to the ground.
After throwing Bai Mengfei, the person, perhaps worried that the noise would be too loud and others would hear it, quickly turned around and fled the room.
Bai Mengfei struggled to her feet, instinctively wanting to chase after him, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower back, and her vision blurred. At the same time, she realized that the person might return, which could be detrimental to Wang Tian.
So, she endured the pain and didn't chase after him. Instead, she reached out to check Wang Tian's breathing, gently patted his face, and anxiously asked, "Are you alright?"
However, Wang Tian was clearly under the influence of the drug, lying there unresponsive and unconscious.
Bai Mengfei sighed deeply, feeling somewhat helpless. At that moment, Mu Zhen and the others heard the commotion and rushed into the room, anxiously inquiring about the situation.
Under their persistent questioning, Bai Mengfei had no choice but to tell them the whole story.
Wang Tian finally woke up around noon the next day.
Meanwhile, Bai Mengfei had been suddenly recalled to the police station by Zhao Fei.
As soon as they got back to the police station, Zhao Fei showed Bai Mengfei the surveillance footage and said, "Look at this time of day, when it's late at night and everyone's asleep. Mu Zhen was sleeping on the sofa, right? After he went to the bathroom, look, someone came into your room like this."
After reviewing the surveillance footage, Bai Mengfei frowned and said, "It's him, Mu Zhen! It seems he's the one who entered our room last night, intending to harm us."
Zhao Fei frowned and said, "So there's definitely something wrong with him!"
Bai Mengfei nodded slightly in agreement, saying, "That's right. No wonder the door was opened; I think he must have left a spare key."
“Yes!” Zhao Fei said confidently, “Then can we go arrest him now? Regardless of whether he is the murderer or not, let’s bring him back first. I think with this evidence, even if we can’t prove that he is the murderer, we can at least show that he has something to hide.”
At 1:30 p.m., Zhao Fei personally led the team to their residence.
Strangely, Mu Zhen, Xu Zu, Wang Dou, and Wang Tian, who originally lived here, have all disappeared.
Bai Mengfei sensed that the atmosphere was a bit strange. She frowned, looked around, and then said to Xiang Yuntian standing next to her, "They were all here when I left this morning."
Xiang Yuntian immediately took out his phone and said, "Then I'll call Officer Zheng." After saying that, he decisively dialed Wang Tian's number, but Wang Tian did not answer.
Seeing this, Zhao Fei also felt something was strange, so he made a few calls as well, but no one answered.
Zhao Fei said with a puzzled look, "That shouldn't be the case! Although Officer Zheng isn't particularly smart, she's very responsible in her work. Given her personality, she shouldn't ignore my calls."
"Hmm!" Xiang Yuntian nodded secretly, agreeing with Zhao Fei's idea.
Bai Mengfei also felt that Wang Tian would definitely answer Xiang Yuntian's call no matter what, and immediately realized that things were probably not that simple. She suddenly thought of a possibility: perhaps Mu Zhen had already realized that he was being suspected.
So she looked around the room. Just as she was about to go into the bathroom, she suddenly heard a sharp cracking sound under her foot. She immediately lifted her foot and stomped back.
Looking down, I realized that what I had just stepped on was a pinhole camera.
She quickly crouched down, picked up the broken camera, and called out to Zhao Fei and Xiang Yuntian, "Captain Zhao, Forensic Doctor Xiang, come and take a look!"
Zhao Fei walked over and immediately understood what was going on. He couldn't help but say, "It seems he's already figured out our intentions. Officer Wang is likely in danger now!"
“That’s right, maybe all three of them are the murderers,” Bai Mengfei said.
Zhao Fei clicked his tongue softly, looked up at the ceiling, and a troubled expression appeared on his face.
Seeing Zhao Fei's helplessness, the detectives who had followed him all fell silent, waiting for him to make his next decision. Only Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian were still racking their brains trying to figure out how to find the three people and rescue Wang Tian.
In an attempt to find more clues, Bai Mengfei then entered the rooms of Xu Zu and Wang Dou separately.
