Chapter 224 Innocence
Chapter 224 Innocence
Bai Mengfei pondered to herself.
If the murderer is indeed Team Leader Qu, with his abilities and influence in this area, it wouldn't be impossible for him to cover up everything!
Just as Bai Mengfei was lost in thought, Wang Tian suddenly raised his right hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
Bai Mengfei suddenly came to her senses and looked at Wang Tian with a puzzled expression.
"Alright, let's not think about that too much for now. There are only two of us girls here, so our priority is to figure out how to protect ourselves. Maybe Forensic Doctor Xiang will be back this afternoon, so let's wait and see."
Hearing Wang Tian's suggestion, Bai Mengfei was still somewhat dazed, and simply replied with one word: "Okay!"
After answering, Bai Mengfei walked to the sofa and slowly sat down.
She suddenly regretted her decision, feeling that she shouldn't have called Zhao Fei in front of Qu Ying!
If the murderer really is Qu Ying, then he would definitely do everything he can to stop Zhao Fei from coming!
Just as I was thinking this, the weather outside, like this sudden situation, turned exceptionally gloomy.
As Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian turned to look at the gloomy sky, large raindrops began to pour down. Zhao Fei, who was driving up at that moment, was also puzzled. Why did the weather change so suddenly, and start raining all of a sudden?
However, he didn't pay much attention and continued driving, eager to get over and check on the situation.
Xiang Yuntian is his right-hand man! If something happens to Xiang Yuntian, his career may come to an end, or even decline!
So he sped up, but when he was halfway there, a woman suddenly darted out from the roadside.
Because of the heavy rain, he slammed on the brakes and saw the woman lying on the ground. He wasn't even sure if he had hit her.
He quickly got out of the car to check on the woman's condition.
The woman was an older woman, probably in her late forties or early fifties. She lay motionless in the rain, seemingly unconscious.
After confirming that she was still breathing, Zhao Fei quickly carried her to the car, thinking that he had to get her to the hospital as soon as possible in case anything went wrong.
Throughout the journey, Zhao Fei secretly rejoiced that he hadn't bumped into the woman.
However, halfway there, the woman suddenly woke up. She sat up behind Zhao Fei, then took a steel wire from her watch and suddenly strangled Zhao Fei's neck.
In an instant, the car went out of control and crashed straight into a water pump on the side of the road.
With a loud bang, the water pump exploded, and a jet of water shot into the sky, creating a truly astonishing scene.
The airbags deployed, but Zhao Fei still passed out.
Zhao Fei fell into a coma, and the woman who came to assassinate him took the opportunity to leave.
No one witnessed the entire process.
Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian, the two girls, waited quietly in the hotel, hoping that Zhao Fei would arrive soon.
Wang Tian waited and waited, but Zhao Fei didn't show up until noon. She couldn't get through on the phone either. She could no longer comfort herself, and fear welled up in her heart.
She sat down next to Bai Mengfei, gently took Bai Mengfei's right hand in her own, and said to Bai Mengfei, "I'm suddenly very worried. I feel... this matter is really not that simple. Zhang Ting, what do you think we should do?"
In terms of biological age, she is indeed older than Bai Mengfei, but in terms of psychological age, she is much younger than Bai Mengfei.
Bai Mengfei was initially very scared, and her mind was racing with thoughts. She was extremely nervous, but as time went by, she gradually calmed down and was no longer afraid.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Bai Mengfei said calmly.
After saying that, she took out her phone and sent a message to Jiang Shuai, telling him to come over quickly and informing him that Xiang Yuntian had gotten into trouble.
However, Jiang Shuai has already gone to another province for a trip and is not in the area at all. So even if he were to rush back now, it would take him a long time.
Bai Mengfei replied, "Never mind, just come over as soon as possible!"
"Then why didn't you call the police?" Jiang Shuai sent a message asking.
Bai Mengfei had known him for a long time, so there was nothing to hide: "To be honest, I think the bad guy right now is the police chief here. Anyway, we can't call the police; calling the police might make things more dangerous, you understand?"
"Okay, I understand. I'll be right there."
After sending the message to Jiang Shuai, Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian remained seated. What could two girls do in the face of a potential threat from bad guys?
Bai Mengfei wasn't without ideas, but she dared not act rashly because she still had to take care of Wang Tian. If it were in the past, when she was alone, she wouldn't have been afraid even if she ventured into dangerous situations!
But seeing Wang Tian trembling with fear, she, being a woman herself, knew she couldn't leave Wang Tian.
Even when she went to the toilet, she made Wang Tian follow her.
The two spent the entire afternoon in this long wait, until dusk when they finally heard a knock on the door.
Wang Tian initially thought it was Xiang Yuntian returning and excitedly went to open the door.
Bai Mengfei quickly grabbed her and said, "Be careful, I'll go open the door, you stay here."
Wang Tian hadn't expected Bai Mengfei, who was younger than her, to be so much braver. However, she was indeed timid; hearing Bai Mengfei's words, she stopped rushing to open the door and simply nodded silently.
Bai Mengfei walked cautiously towards the door, hesitant with each step. She didn't know what would happen outside after opening the door.
For her and Wang Tian, it was a terrifying place filled with unknowns.
"Who is it?" she asked, raising her voice before even reaching the door.
The person outside the door did not respond immediately. After a few seconds of silence, a deep voice came from outside: "It's me, Team Leader Qu, Qu Ying!"
Upon hearing this name, Bai Mengfei stopped in her tracks, her body trembling slightly.
Another woman might have preferred to believe that Qu Ying wasn't a bad person. But Bai Mengfei, as an experienced and knowledgeable forensic doctor, firmly believed in her deductions, judgments, and observations.
In her mind, Qu Ying was an extremely suspicious suspect!
Therefore, she did not open the door for Qu Ying, and her wariness of Qu Ying did not decrease at all.
Wang Tian was, after all, an ordinary woman, and at this moment, she still preferred to believe that Qu Ying was not a bad person.
So she stepped forward, clinging to a sliver of hope, and said to Bai Mengfei, "Shall we open the door and see? Maybe he's not what we think? Perhaps we can even get his help, right?"
She's so naive!
