A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

Chapter 411 Unfamiliar

Bai Mengfei smiled gently and said softly, "It's alright. We don't have anything else to do anyway, so let's stay and take care of her together. The more people there are, the more we can help!"

Hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Linghu Bin nodded slightly, acknowledging her agreement. However, his brows were tightly furrowed, making him appear exceptionally grave. His expression suggested he was burdened with many worries, which aroused suspicion.

Xiang Yuntian stepped forward and asked, "Teacher Linghu, can we go outside and talk for a few minutes?"

Upon hearing this, Linghu Bin looked up at Xiang Yuntian in surprise. He felt he and Xiang Yuntian didn't seem to have much in common, and couldn't understand why the other wanted to talk to him. But seeing that Xiang Yuntian genuinely wanted to chat, he smiled slightly and nodded in agreement: "Alright! Let's go outside and talk for a bit!"

The two went outside together, and Xiang Yuntian asked bluntly, "How did you find Qi Han by the pond?"

“I happened to pass by there this morning and saw her, so I brought her back!” Linghu Bin paused slightly, his expression somewhat complicated. “Perhaps you could say it was a telepathic connection? I’m not quite sure.”

After speaking, Linghu Bin raised his head and looked at the hazy, misty rain curtain. A faint melancholy enveloped his face, as if his thoughts had been pulled far away by the drizzle.

Xiang Yuntian said "Oh," and then asked, "So what was she doing when you found her?"

Unexpectedly, Linghu Bin did not answer directly this time, but instead asked, "Forensic Doctor Xiang, are you doubting me?"

"No, what's there to doubt? I was just curious." Xiang Yuntian said, his mind involuntarily recalling the dark figure he had seen that morning. That mysterious figure was like a heavy stone weighing on his heart, something he couldn't shake off.

After pondering for a while, he looked at Linghu Bin and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Actually, the reason I called you out earlier was because I felt that girls have their own topics to discuss. At times like this, it might not be appropriate for men and women to communicate. After all, she has just gone through the pain of losing her husband, and if you're always by her side, it's bound to attract criticism."

Hearing what Xiang Yuntian said, Linghu Bin felt that it made sense, so he nodded slightly and smiled and said, "It seems that you have thought things through. No wonder you are a forensic doctor. I really can't get too close to her now. I have to avoid suspicion. Originally, I didn't think so much about it. I just thought that the innocent would clear themselves."

"Yes, I believe you are innocent." Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly, though he didn't really think so. He still harbored suspicions about Linghu Bin, feeling that there were many suspicious points about him and that he was highly suspicious.

Just as he was pondering this to himself, he heard Linghu Bin say again, "I'm definitely innocent! If there were any problems, I would have run away long ago!"

After they finished speaking, they couldn't help but laugh.

Meanwhile, at the neighborhood committee office, Bai Mengfei was cautiously probing Qi Han, trying to verify Linghu Bin's earlier statement: "Did you really go to the pond and do something drastic?"

Qi Han nodded slightly, a hint of shame appearing on her face.

Bai Mengfei felt that she wasn't lying, but her intuition told her that things weren't so simple: how could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Just as she was pondering to herself, Qi Han said again, "Fortunately, Teacher Linghu arrived in time and saved me."

"Teacher Linghu?" Bai Mengfei murmured these three words to herself. Given their relationship, Qi Han shouldn't address him so formally. Was there some hidden story behind this?

Just as Bai Mengfei was still weighing her options, Linghu Bin and Xiang Yuntian walked in.

As soon as Linghu Bin entered, he said to Bai Mengfei, "It's getting late, you probably haven't eaten yet, right? Let me treat you to a meal at my place today. It's a happy occasion to have found Xiaohan, let's celebrate properly."

“Okay!” Bai Mengfei readily agreed.

Afterwards, they went together to Linghu Bin's place.

Although Linghu Bin's residence was not large, it had a kitchen. What was even more surprising was that he would actually cook for himself.

While he was cooking, Bai Mengfei claimed to be helping, but in reality, she was carefully observing him. According to the information, Linghu Bin was a wealthy man, and Qi Han also said so. Logically, such a rich young master shouldn't be so capable.

Therefore, Bai Mengfei felt that this person was hiding too many secrets, and even began to doubt whether the person in front of her was really Linghu Bin.

Thinking about it, Bai Mengfei asked, "Why do you want to come here to teach as a volunteer?"

Linghu Bin replied, "You might not believe it, but I want to serve my country. Well, actually it's because I personally like this simple environment; perhaps I'm just someone who yearns for a simple life."

After saying that, Linghu Bin quickly started chopping vegetables. Judging from the way he chopped the vegetables, his technique was so skillful that if one didn't know his identity, they might think he was a professional chef. His demeanor was just too professional.

Bai Mengfei then asked, "Have you studied cooking before? You seem very skilled at it."

"No!" Linghu Bin smiled faintly and said, "It's just that I cook a lot for myself and I'm interested in it, so I'm a bit more skilled at it."

"You wield your knife very skillfully," Bai Mengfei commented.

Linghu Bin didn't take it to heart and laughed, "Really? I don't think my knife skills are that good. Maybe it's because radishes are easy to cut and this knife is quite sharp."

"Now that you mention it, I do think so too. This knife does look very sharp," Bai Mengfei said, gazing at the knife. "Do you usually sharpen your knives?"

"Occasionally," Linghu Bin said with a smile. "After all, I'm a bit of a germaphobe; you can tell by looking at my room."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei immediately thought of the case again. However, all the signs that Linghu Bin showed, even after a thorough analysis of his psychology, seemed to have no connection whatsoever with the characteristics of the murderer.

Could it be that the wrong object was checked?

Just as Bai Mengfei was filled with doubt, a scream of "Ah!" suddenly came from outside the door.

Linghu Bin immediately stopped what he was doing, turned around, and his face showed obvious concern. It was clear he cared deeply about Qi Han. After all, how could he remain indifferent knowing that Qi Han might be in trouble?

While thinking this to herself, Bai Mengfei said to Linghu Bin, "I'll go out and take a look!"

Linghubin immediately replied, "Okay!"

Bai Mengfei came outside to check on the situation. She saw that Qi Han's finger was cut, and Xiang Yuntian was carefully examining her finger and gently applying a bandage to it.

Seeing this scene, Bai Mengfei felt inexplicably uneasy.

In the past, she probably wouldn't have felt anything, and even if she did, she wouldn't have shown it so obviously as she does now.
