Chapter 138 Persistence
"Yun Tian, please don't do this. You know I, Zhao Fei, have never been a bad person, and I would never harm her."
Zhao Fei quickly tried to persuade him.
"You do not understand."
Xiang Yuntian lowered his head, looking troubled. "Do you know what she's doing is extremely dangerous?"
"Then you can stay with her, just like you did before you got hit by the car, wouldn't that be better?"
Zhao Fei tried his best to persuade Xiang Yuntian.
However, Xiang Yuntian showed no sign of compromise, saying firmly, "In short, I said no and that's final. Don't bring it up again. If you continue to pressure her, I'll take her away from here after a while."
"Huh? You're planning to quit?"
At this moment, Zhao Fei was truly alarmed, because if this happened, things could very well backfire, and in serious cases, he might lose two of his capable assistants.
Xiang Yuntian lowered his gaze, pondered for a moment, and then said firmly, "Yes, if you keep pressuring her, I plan to resign."
“I didn’t force her; it was all her own choice.”
As he spoke, Zhao Fei's voice grew softer and softer.
Why is this so?
Because he saw Bai Mengfei walking up behind Xiang Yuntian.
Although she was yawning as she walked, Zhao Fei knew that Bai Mengfei must have understood their conversation, especially his statement that Bai Mengfei had done it voluntarily. He immediately felt his face burning.
Following Zhao Fei's gaze, Xiang Yuntian understood what was going on and turned to look.
Seeing that Bai Mengfei had already gotten up, Xiang Yuntian's attitude softened considerably: "You're awake?"
"Yes, Captain Zhao is here to see me, right?" Bai Mengfei had already guessed it in her heart.
Zhao Fei quickly seized the opportunity to sneak into the house, grabbed Bai Mengfei's wrist, and said, "I've arranged everything. We can set off now."
“But I haven’t changed my clothes or washed up yet. I have to finish these things first, right?” Bai Mengfei said.
Zhao Fei thought that this was indeed the case, so he forced himself to be patient and stayed there to wait for Bai Mengfei.
He originally thought he would have to wait a long time, but Bai Mengfei was faster than most girls. Before long, the two of them were ready to set off.
In order to keep Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian even threatened Zhao Fei with his position, saying, "If you insist on taking her away and making her involved, then I will resign."
Zhao Fei was stunned; the Xiang Yuntian he remembered was not like this at all.
In the past, Xiang Yuntian might have supported him. But now, Xiang Yuntian is vehemently opposed.
Although Zhao Fei could understand that Xiang Yuntian must have his reasons for doing this, he still couldn't quite accept this kind of blackmail.
So he still insisted on taking Bai Mengfei away.
After the two got into the car outside, Bai Mengfei kept looking at the house, feeling vaguely uneasy.
After all, it would be very unsafe for Xiang Yuntian to be left here alone.
Unfortunately, Jiang Shuai left yesterday.
For Bai Mengfei, matters of the heart are more troublesome than facing a headless corpse, putting her in a dilemma.
So, she secretly made up her mind and said to Zhao Fei, "Let's go."
Zhao Fei knew he had struck gold this time and quickly replied, "Okay!"
After agreeing, fearing that Bai Mengfei might change her mind, he immediately took her away.
Bai Mengfei trusted Zhao Fei's character and integrity, so she didn't say anything or ask any questions along the way.
On the way, Zhao Fei suddenly received a phone call about someone dying in the fire.
Zhao Fei was nearby and had no choice but to investigate and handle the matter personally, so he naturally took Bai Mengfei with him.
In fact, Bai Mengfei had little interest in other cases; what she longed for most was to find the killer in the serial killing of teenage girls.
But at this moment, she was in Zhao Fei's car and couldn't leave even if she wanted to, so she could only silently follow along.
After arriving at the crime scene, the two handed over the case to the police.
Then a local policeman said, "The deceased was a woman who died in a fire at home. Moreover, we found a piece of evidence at the scene: bloodstains."
"Take me inside and have a look," Bai Mengfei said.
Seeing that Bai Mengfei was brought by Zhao Fei, the policeman naturally led her into the scene.
Upon entering, the first thing Bai Mengfei did was shine an ultraviolet flashlight on the ground.
Sure enough, some brownish-brown stains were found on the ground. This was enough to prove that there had indeed been bloodstains here not long ago.
It could be blood left by the deceased during the fight with the assailant, or it could be blood from some kind of animal, such as blood that the woman accidentally spilled here while killing a chicken.
But none of these are the key points. For Bai Mengfei, the most important thing is the female corpse lying horizontally.
Due to the fire, the body was charred black, resembling charcoal. Judging from the physique and skeleton, the deceased was likely a young woman.
The pubic area also suggests that the deceased may have suffered severe violence before death, as there is a noticeable indentation on the charred pubic bone.
The police officer standing nearby seemed skeptical of the girl who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, and asked, "How do you think she died?"
In fact, the police officer himself had noticed something unusual and suspicious.
Bai Mengfei glanced at him and replied coldly, "In any case, it could not have been an accidental death. She must have suffered severe violence before she died."
After hearing Bai Mengfei's words, the police finally believed that she was indeed capable, so they nodded in agreement and provided some clues as if to help: "The female victim's name is Tong Qian, and she is the sole owner of this house."
"Her parents died early. Her mother passed away when she was four years old, and her father died when she was five due to overwork. Because her family was always poor, she rarely argued with anyone and never offended anyone."
“Well said.” Bai Mengfei’s attitude remained indifferent: “Now go and get a pen and a notebook, and put on a pair of white gloves. Help me record the conclusions we have drawn together.”
"You can use your phone to take pictures of anything you find suspicious, and of course, you can also take videos to take back and study them carefully."
Hearing Bai Mengfei speak so logically and considerately for his sake, the police officer felt a sense of relief.
He knew he had definitely encountered someone formidable this time, so he hurriedly ran to ask his colleague for a pen and paper.
