Chapter 276 Committing Another Crime

Bai Mengfei lowered her gaze, pondered for a moment, and then asked in return, "Don't you think their presence here would be a hindrance? In fact, we can better protect the scene if they're not here."

"What? So you're planning to stay and investigate the scene?" Xiang Yuntian said in surprise.

Bai Mengfei nodded silently and said firmly, "That's right, that's exactly it. I must stay and protect this scene, and I'm determined to investigate this case. So much time has passed; if I don't find out the truth soon, how can I face the female victims, and how can I face myself?"

After speaking, Bai Mengfei looked at Xiang Yuntian quietly, hoping that he could understand her thoughts.

Xiang Yuntian looked back at her helplessly, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and then said softly, "Okay, I understand you. It's just that I think the murderer must be a very professional person, you understand? So I don't think this case is so easy to investigate, at least not as simple as you and I imagine."

“In my opinion, this case has never been simple,” Bai Mengfei said as she slowly paced around the scene.

As she walked, observing the crime scene, she said, "Reality is often more difficult than we imagine, but we must never give up because of that, because we are living, breathing human beings and we must strive for the truth."

At this point, she suddenly stopped.

Xiang Yuntian immediately walked over and followed her gaze, only to find her staring blankly at the pillar.

"Why are you suddenly spacing out? Did something come to mind?" Xiang Yuntian asked gently.

Bai Mengfei took a deep breath, came to her senses, and turned to look at Xiang Yuntian, saying, "No...nothing. I was just suddenly wondering why the murderer would dismember the female victim and dump her body here?"

Hearing Bai Mengfei's question, Xiang Yuntian also began to ponder, guessing as he thought, "Could it be because this place is relatively remote and secluded?"

Bai Mengfei gently shook her head and said, "No, based on my understanding of the murderer, the truth is definitely not that simple."

"So what do you think happened?" Xiang Yuntian respected Bai Mengfei's opinion.

Bai Mengfei frowned slightly, habitually closed her eyes first, then crossed her arms over her chest, revealing a serious and profound expression on her face.

She was thinking seriously! At this moment, Xiang Yuntian, who knew her best, knew that it was best not to disturb her, otherwise the consequences might be worse than he imagined.

So he quietly looked at her profile, and couldn't help but recall her appearance in the morgue in her previous life, not her young appearance now.

Because their expressions were so similar, Xiang Yuntian gradually accepted Bai Mengfei's current appearance. To him, as long as it was Bai Mengfei, nothing else mattered.

Just as Xiang Yuntian was engrossed in watching, Bai Mengfei suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at him. This startled him, and he quickly turned his face away as if he had done something wrong, not daring to look Bai Mengfei in the eye.

“I’ve figured out why the murderer brought the body here,” Bai Mengfei said.

While trying to hide his boyish shyness, Xiang Yuntian smiled awkwardly and asked, "Why?"

Bai Mengfei began pacing around the scene, saying as she walked, "Look at this place, although it seems remote, it is actually not hidden at all and can be easily discovered."

Xiang Yuntian pondered Bai Mengfei's words carefully. He frowned, thought for a while, and then nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, that's indeed the case."

"Hmm." Bai Mengfei responded calmly, then continued, "Actually, the murderer's motive and method are very similar to those in previous cases. I think his choice of this place is related to his psychology."

"What's wrong with him?" It's said that people who fall in love become stupid, and that's absolutely true. Xiang Yuntian is exactly like that right now.

Bai Mengfei immediately looked at him suspiciously and said, "Aren't you an expert in criminal psychology? Don't tell me you don't know what the murderer is thinking! Or are you not thinking properly at all, and have been secretly watching me the whole time?"

"What do you mean?" Xiang Yuntian felt his cheeks flush and quickly lowered his head, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground. "Alright, I know that he did this to show off, to attract attention, and to provoke our law enforcement and judicial departments."

“That’s right!” Bai Mengfei immediately snapped her fingers in agreement, looking at him with a smile in her eyes. “But I have something to add.”

Xiang Yuntian couldn't think of anything else, so he lowered his voice and asked, "What else?"

“Let’s add some psychological details about the killer. I think he might be a single person, extremely lonely inside.” Bai Mengfei said as she walked towards Xiang Yuntian. “Think about it, if that weren’t the case, he wouldn’t have attacked me in the first place, wouldn’t he?”

"Yes! It's outrageous!" Xiang Yuntian said this with genuine anger. He couldn't help but think of the scene of Bai Mengfei's murder in her previous life, and the thought of it caused him immense heartache.

At this moment, the usually refined man had secretly clenched his fists, which hung down on his outside legs, his knuckles cracking.

However, Bai Mengfei was unaware of this, as she was immersed in a rare moment of joy.

This joy probably comes from a sense of accomplishment, like the extraordinary delight of a science whiz solving an unsolvable mathematical problem or coming up with a clever alternative algorithm.

Therefore, Bai Mengfei did not notice Xiang Yuntian's situation and continued, "It is clear that the murderer is a single male and is likely to commit the crime again."

At this point, Bai Mengfei's expression suddenly turned serious again.

Because if the murderer commits another crime, it means that more people will die.

Despite having seen so many corpses and so many people taken away by death, she had become somewhat indifferent, even numb, emotionally.

But she still held a deep respect and compassion for life. Therefore, she was actually very reluctant to see the bodies that were identified as having died from "violent causes."
