Chapter 171 Another Discovery

After hearing this, Wang Tian said, "I think you two are a perfect match. If you could be together, you would definitely be an enviable couple."

"There are some things you don't understand, and they're hard to comprehend."

After emphasizing this to her, Bai Mengfei, worried that saying too much might reveal something she shouldn't, turned around and went to attend to her own business.

Wang Tian was left standing alone, looking bewildered and feeling somewhat aggrieved.

She felt she had given her all in everything she did, but she always felt like she wasn't doing well enough and that she could never truly fit into the group.

Meanwhile, Xiang Yuntian resumed his research on Fanghua's body.

The results showed that there was an extremely tiny hole on Fanghua's neck, resembling a pinhole.

He instinctively turned around, wanting to tell Bai Mengfei about his discovery. However, upon turning around, he was shocked to find that Bai Mengfei was no longer beside him.

He couldn't help but let out a slow sigh.

The feeling at this moment is as if I have suddenly returned to the time after Bai Mengfei passed away.

His condition was exactly the same as it had been back then.

He secretly admitted to himself that he was still not mature enough.

Just as he was lost in thought, Bai Mengfei arrived here for work.

In that instant, he was overwhelmed with joy.

After all, he had liked this person for far too long.

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's inquiry about the situation, he quickly said, "I found a needle mark on Fanghua's neck. This means that Fanghua was tampered with before she was killed by Lao Gui."

"Why do you think that?" Bai Mengfei asked in surprise.

In fact, she was trying hard to hide the turmoil in her heart when she spoke.

Xiang Yuntian cooperated with her, feigning composure. With his white-gloved hand, he gently turned Fanghua's neck and pointed to the needle mark for Bai Mengfei to see, saying, "Look, this is the evidence. Think about Lao Gui; he always kills with a single blow, his methods are ruthless. Did he need to inject Fanghua with anesthesia first?"

Bai Mengfei agreed with Xiang Yuntian's point of view, nodding slightly. Xiang Yuntian then continued, "Furthermore, you are the only eyewitness to this case, but did you truly witness the entire process of Fanghua's murder?"

Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's question, Bai Mengfei lowered her gaze and pondered for a moment.

After thinking for a while, she seemed to be inspired and asked, "So you mean to say that someone else really killed Fanghua?"

After speaking, Bai Mengfei habitually put her hands in her pockets and fell into deep thought.

“That’s right, it’s very likely someone else,” Xiang Yuntian replied confidently.

Bai Mengfei suddenly thought of a hypothesis and said, "If Fanghua was really killed by that serial killer, why didn't he take something from the victim this time, but instead stuffed something into her mouth?" The reason for suspecting that the unknown killer was because there is currently a hypothetical real culprit, which we will call X for now.

There are two possibilities regarding whether Fanghua has that piece of jade in her stomach.

One possibility is that the jade was forcibly inserted into Fanghua's body while she was alive, or that she swallowed it herself.

Another possibility is that Yu was placed there after Fanghua's death.

However, the autopsy confirmed that there were no signs of damage to the stomach, indicating that the jade was swallowed by Fanghua before her death.

It's unlikely that someone would intentionally swallow jade while still alive.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the hypothetical murderer X forced Fanghua to swallow the jade.

It's unlikely that Old Ghost did this; given his simple-minded killer style, he wouldn't have come up with such a complicated method.

Xiang Yuntian pondered Bai Mengfei's words, but he still couldn't understand why the murderer would do this and even bring in Old Ghost to take the blame.

"How about we have lunch together and then discuss this further?" Xiang Yuntian suggested.

Bai Mengfei thought she also needed to eat, so she agreed.

After all, not many people are willing to eat with him, and his hands are always in contact with corpses.

The two went to a restaurant outside. While eating, Bai Mengfei suddenly remembered something important: "By the way, what about that jade? Have you checked it?"

"We've checked, and apart from the gastric juice composition, we didn't find any other clues," Xiang Yuntian said with some disappointment. "Alright, let's not talk about this while we eat."

Bai Mengfei immediately said excitedly, "Hey, you promised to tell me slowly during dinner, that's why I came to dinner with you."

Hearing Bai Mengfei say this, Xiang Yuntian said helplessly, "Alright, since that's the case, then you can speak. I'll eat first. I'll tell you everything I know."

Actually, Xiang Yuntian was still feeling a little sad at that moment.

Bai Mengfei quietly looked at him, who was full of grievances, and suddenly felt a pang of heartache, realizing that she had been too cruel to him.

At this moment, Bai Mengfei even had the urge to leave.

But if I suddenly leave, wouldn't that cause him even more harm?

Her mind raced as she looked at Xiang Yuntian, remaining silent for a moment.

Not long after, Xiang Yuntian noticed Bai Mengfei's gaze and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing, it's just a feeling I can't quite put my finger on. Anyway, since you don't want to talk about work over dinner, how about we talk about our business?"

Bai Mengfei's words made Xiang Yuntian stop what he was doing and fall into melancholy thoughts.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to accept certain facts and said firmly, "Okay, go ahead."

"Is there any way to make you forget me, or let go of your feelings for me?"

"I'm not willing." Xiang Yuntian answered decisively and continued eating, avoiding Bai Mengfei's request: "I can agree to anything else, but I can't do this."

Bai Mengfei turned her head in disappointment. Just then, she saw a couple arguing at the next table. She didn't pay much attention at first, but then the man picked up a knife, held it to his throat, and shouted, "If you dare to break up with me, I'll die in front of you."

Isn't that a bit too extreme?

Bai Mengfei couldn't help but think: what should she do if Xiang Yuntian, who was sitting opposite her, did the same thing?

However, given her feelings for Xiang Yuntian and her own personality, she felt that she would definitely soften and compromise, and would agree to whatever request Xiang Yuntian made.

Fortunately, Xiang Yuntian wouldn't do that; he has always been a very rational person.

Because of Bai Mengfei's gaze, Xiang Yuntian also noticed the couple arguing about breaking up in the restaurant.
