A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

Chapter 502 New Suspect

Uncle Shi then said, "I understand how anxious you are right now, but you probably also know in your heart that this case is not so simple."

“That’s right, but as civil servants, we can’t give up just because a case is difficult. Otherwise, more innocent people will die in vain.”

Uncle Shi seemed to agree with Bai Mengfei's words, and nodded slightly, asking, "Then how do you want me to help you?"

Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment and said, "I hope you can tell me your deductions in detail. These deductions are likely to be the key to solving the case. I believe that the deductions about the murderer's background are only part of it."

“You’re right,” Uncle Shi agreed. “That’s indeed only a small part. In fact, I suspect the killer was a man nearing forty and quite skilled. Besides that, I have another important theory: I think he was likely a member of our police force.”

Upon hearing this final deduction, Bai Mengfei's eyes immediately lit up.

She opened her eyes wide, carefully observing Uncle Shi's expression, and asked, "Besides this, are there any other clues?"

"Yes." Uncle Shi nodded secretly and said, "He could also be one of our people, so I've been keeping an eye on him."

As he spoke, Uncle Shi went over and closed the door.

At this moment, Zhang asked, "Uncle Shi, who do you suspect?"

“It could be Ah Dong. I think he fits the bill in many ways. But we can’t make wild guesses without solid evidence. If we arrest the wrong person, the consequences could be dire.”

Bai Mengfei didn't know who A Dong was, so she asked, "Which A Dong?"

The chapter explained: "It's Dong Wenrun, a police officer."

Bai Mengfei nodded, then looked up at Uncle Shi and smiled, saying, "So, this Mr. Dong, he should still be working at the bureau, right?"

"Yes," Uncle Shi answered affirmatively.

Bai Mengfei naturally had her own plans and priorities in mind.

The chapter cautioned, "Don't even think about getting close to Brother Dong. He has a bad temper, so don't make a fool of yourself."

"No, I won't." Bai Mengfei shook her head secretly, a faint smile on her face. "I will know my limits."

The next day at dinner, Bai Mengfei had already found out who Dong Wenrun was, so she deliberately went to his table and sat down, pretending to eat there.

Dong Wenrun was the only person at his table; the others preferred to share a table rather than sit with him, which shows that his character was really not good.

Therefore, Dong Wenrun was quite surprised when he saw a young woman sitting in front of him.

"Little girl, what are you doing here?"

"I..." Bai Mengfei thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm eating here."

"Let's eat, okay?" Dong Wenrun said.

In order to get closer to Dong Wenrun, Bai Mengfei took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him: "May I ask what your name is?"

Dong Wenrun was quite straightforward. He smiled and answered directly, "My name is Dong Wenrun. What's your name?"

"My name is Bai Mengfei, and I am a forensic doctor."

"Oh." Dong Wenrun nodded slightly and smiled. "Actually, I've heard of you. You were transferred here to investigate the Plum Blossom murder case, right? I heard that case is quite difficult to investigate."

While Dong Wenrun was speaking, Bai Mengfei was secretly observing his every move.

“Yes.” Bai Mengfei smiled and looked at him, asking, “I wonder what Dong-ge’s opinion is on this case?”

Secretly, Bai Mengfei kept a close eye on his changing expressions.

Dong Wenrun nodded and said softly, "I don't have any particular opinion on this case. It's just a psychopath killing people everywhere. But this psychopath might be quite intelligent; he even sets up the crime scene after committing the crime."

"Hmm, that makes sense." Bai Mengfei smiled faintly, gazing at him, though she was still observing the subtle expressions on his face.

Dong Wenrun was silent for a while, and seeing that Bai Mengfei was still staring at him, he continued, "Besides that, there's another point. I think the murderer might be someone from within our police force."

"Why do you say that?" Bai Mengfei immediately asked him nervously.

Dong Wenrun replied, "It's nothing, just my intuition over the years."

"Have you been working at the police station for a long time?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Dong Wenrun nodded and said, "It's been a long time. It's just that I'm not very good at dealing with people, so even after working for so many years, I haven't been able to get promoted."

"Oh, I see. Actually, I'm not very good at getting along with people."

As Bai Mengfei and Dong Wenrun chatted, their relationship gradually became more familiar. Dong Wenrun also told Bai Mengfei many things about the police station and reminded her not to easily trust others.

Bai Mengfei kept these words in mind.

In the evening, as Dong Wenrun was preparing to go home, he ran into Bai Mengfei again. He thought it was a coincidence, little did he know that Bai Mengfei was deliberately waiting for him.

Seeing that Bai Mengfei seemed to be going out as well, Dong Wenrun invited her, "Why don't you come to my house for a meal?"

Bai Mengfei immediately said, "No, I don't want to upset you, sister-in-law." Actually, Bai Mengfei was deliberately testing him; she knew in her heart that Dong Wenrun's wife had already run off with someone else.

As expected, Dong Wenrun's face darkened. However, he didn't get angry at Bai Mengfei. Instead, he took a step closer and said, "She left with another man a long time ago."

Bai Mengfei quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that before."

"It's alright." With that, Dong Wenrun turned to leave.

Bai Mengfei wanted to continue the investigation, so she said, "Shall I go with you? Didn't you say you'd treat me to dinner?"

Dong Wenrun immediately smiled and said, "Then let's go!"

Afterwards, Bai Mengfei followed Dong Wenrun home. She saw that Dong Wenrun lived in a very ordinary house, but the house was kept quite tidy.

This is why Bai Mengfei became even more suspicious of him, since murderers often possess such meticulous psychology.

"Brother Dong, your house is so clean." Bai Mengfei said.

Dong Wenrun smiled lightly and said, "No, I just tidied up a bit. Please make yourself at home, don't be shy. Anyway, I live alone in this house."

By this time, Dong Wenrun had come to regard Bai Mengfei as his younger sister. After all, he had been ostracized by everyone for too long, and he was naturally very happy that someone was taking the initiative to approach him.

During their meal, Dong Wenrun kept serving Bai Mengfei food, letting her taste his cooking.

Bai Mengfei, in her pursuit of the case, had long since disregarded her own safety and began eating without a second thought. Furthermore, Dong Wenrun himself ate the food as well, so there was likely no poison involved.

Dong Wenrun also liked to drink alcohol, and even encouraged Bai Mengfei to have some as well.
