Chapter 214 Practice
She shrugged, giving an awkward smile, and said, "Well, there's really no comparison. But Captain Zhao, if I may be so bold, don't you think this Zhang Ting is a bit strange?"
"I think you're the strange one. You're taking taxpayers' money, yet you're just standing here daydreaming with a water bottle! Look at you veteran employees, what are you doing every day? Even a newbie is better than you." Zhao Fei was so agitated in his accusations because he felt that the policewoman was jealous of Zhang Ting's hard work and wanted to stir up trouble.
She quickly frowned and said excitedly, "No, Captain Zhao, I'm serious! I really think Zhang Ting looks a lot like someone!"
Seeing her anxious expression, Zhao Fei asked seriously, "Who?"
She lowered her voice, leaned close to Zhao Fei's ear, and said, "It's Bai Mengfei, who has already passed away!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fei was startled!
He had initially thought he was the only one with this feeling, as if it were just an illusion, but now that the policewoman had said it, he was even more certain that it was not an illusion.
In addition, Zhang Ting's case-solving abilities are remarkable; despite her young age, she is on par with, or even surpasses, Bai Mengfei in her prime.
So Zhao Fei was willing to believe that Zhang Ting was the reincarnation of Bai Mengfei! Because of this, he stood there stunned, feeling flustered and at a loss.
The policewoman immediately raised her right hand and waved it in front of Zhao Fei, asking, "Captain Zhao, are you alright?"
"Huh?" Zhao Fei seemed to wake up from a dream, raised his head and said, "I'm fine. You go and do your job. Don't make wild guesses about things you don't understand. Just do your job well."
This is no small matter; even Zhao Fei dared not speculate on it.
Seeing that Zhao Fei didn't want to investigate further, the policewoman left.
Zhao Fei stood alone beside Bai Mengfei's desk, lost in thought.
Could Zhang Ting really be the reincarnation of Bai Mengfei?
But judging from their ages, they don't seem to fit the bill!
Just as Zhao Fei was deep in thought, Xiang Yuntian woke up from a nightmare. Overcome with excitement, he kicked the desk.
Zhao Fei walked over and asked with a smile, "Had a nightmare?"
"Yes, Captain Zhao, I dreamt about Bai... I dreamt that Zhang Ting was murdered." Xiang Yuntian almost let slip his habitual words.
Zhao Fei suddenly bent down, brought his face close to his, and asked seriously, "Tell me honestly, what exactly is the relationship between Zhang Ting and Bai Mengfei?"
Seeing Zhao Fei looking at him with a somewhat threatening gaze, Xiang Yuntian immediately felt immense pressure. Fortunately, having trained with Bai Mengfei for so long, his mental fortitude was quite strong, and his face remained calm.
After looking back at Zhao Fei quietly for a while, he said, "No, Captain Zhao, they have absolutely no relationship."
“But that’s not what you said before!” Zhao Fei emphasized.
Xiang Yuntian knew he couldn't hide it any longer, but he didn't want to say anything more. So, he had a sudden idea, stood up, and said, "Team Leader Zhao, I have something to do over there, I'll go first."
After saying that, he hurriedly squeezed past Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei immediately stopped him, but did not pursue the matter further. Instead, he said, "Zhang Ting just said she was going to Xiao Meng's house. She wants you to go there too once you wake up."
"Oh, okay, I understand." Xiang Yuntian cleverly used a clever escape tactic.
The longer he stayed with Bai Mengfei, the more he resembled her. He sometimes appeared cold on the outside, but his heart grew stronger, and he became increasingly adept at dealing with people.
He hurriedly went outside, got into the car, and went to find Bai Mengfei.
When he arrived at Xiaomeng's house, he discovered that Bai Mengfei had been refused entry by Xiaomeng's father.
"What happened?" he rushed over and asked.
Bai Mengfei glanced back at him and said, "I don't know either, but Xiaomeng's father is acting a bit strange today."
"Really? Then forget it, let's go back and investigate him," Xiang Yuntian suggested.
Bai Mengfei thought Xiang Yuntian's sudden idea was quite good, so she agreed to it.
Afterwards, the two returned to the police station and discovered that Xiaomeng's father was actually a chemistry teacher!
In other words, the murderer is very likely Xiaomeng's father.
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian immediately told Zhao Fei the news.
Upon learning of this, Zhao Fei immediately formed a discussion group. After all, it was simply unbelievable that a mother could drive her daughter to suicide, and then a father could kill her!
In any case, it would be hard for a normal person to accept such a conjecture, and even Zhao Fei found it unbelievable.
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian naturally shared the same sentiment, which is why they formed this discussion group together.
After Zhao Fei explained the situation to everyone, everyone sighed in dismay, and some even mocked Bai Mengfei and the others for having too much imagination.
But Bai Mengfei insisted that this was a possibility, and a very high possibility!
Of everyone present, Zhao Fei remained neutral, showing no favoritism towards either side. The twenty-odd civil servants were divided into two groups, while Bai Mengfei's group consisted of only three people.
Xiang Yuntian definitely supports her, and the other person is Wang Tian.
Wang Tian supported Bai Mengfei's viewpoint for two reasons: firstly, she had known Bai Mengfei for a long time and understood her well; secondly, Wang Tian did not want to rule out any possibility.
However, speaking of this group, apart from Xiang Yuntian, who had once been depressed, Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian are both newcomers and their words don't carry much weight.
Just as the other group's words were about to overwhelm them, Wang Tian suddenly mustered her courage and stood up, saying, "Team Leader Zhao, I think there's a saying that goes, 'Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.' So we shouldn't be here just arguing and talking big. We won't get anywhere by arguing like this. So I have a suggestion: let's investigate."
This is exactly the result Zhao Fei wanted!
Zhao Fei immediately clapped his hands, pointed at the newcomer Wang Tian, and said, "Good! We'll do it your way! Nobody has any objections, right? Whichever group can find it first gets three days off. I mean what I say!"
Upon hearing that there would be a three-day holiday, everyone responded enthusiastically.
Bai Mengfei, however, felt that this matter was unreliable; the idea of a father harming his daughter was indeed absurd. So after the meeting, she stood there silently, her hands behind her back, holding onto the table.
Xiang Yuntian, who had been silently watching over her, noticed that she seemed troubled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, maybe I'm just a little insecure!" After saying that, she turned her head, raised her clear eyes, and secretly cast a gentle glance at Xiang Yuntian, thanking him for his continued support and companionship.
