Chapter 322 School
Old Chen immediately chuckled, and it was easy to tell from his expression that he seemed to have something to say.
But his face revealed an indescribable ambiguity, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Mr. Chen, is there anything I can help you with?" Bai Mengfei asked softly.
After considering it for a moment, Old Chen said, "It's nothing, hehe, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it!" After saying that, Old Chen turned and left.
As Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian walked past him, both of them felt uneasy, finding Chen Lao's behavior quite strange. Just as they stepped out of the police station, they exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a hint of doubt.
Arriving at a restaurant near the police station, while waiting for the food to be served, Bai Mengfei looked up at Xiang Yuntian and said, "Don't you think Old Chen's behavior today is a bit unusual?"
“Definitely!” Xiang Yuntian sat down, raised his eyebrows, nodded, and said, “That’s right, he was acting very strangely today!”
After saying that, Xiang Yuntian himself fell into deep thought.
Bai Mengfei shifted her gaze and entered a state of deep thought. However, she wasn't thinking about Elder Chen's matter, but rather focusing on the case itself and the various suspicious points surrounding Chu Anguo's corpse.
When the pasta was served, the tomato sauce on top was a vibrant red, looking just like fresh blood.
In an instant, the image of the corpse flashed through Bai Mengfei's mind, and she felt a chill run down her spine.
She had originally planned to relax and enjoy the meal, but in an instant, all her appetite vanished.
Seeing Bai Mengfei staring at the pasta with a pained expression, Xiang Yuntian reached out his right hand, gently pinched the edge of the plate, and moved it in front of him, saying, "If you don't want this, how about we eat something else?"
"No need, I'll just eat this!" After so much training, Bai Mengfei had already developed a hardworking and resilient character.
However, Xiang Yuntian felt sorry for her and couldn't bear to let her force herself.
Although Bai Mengfei insisted on eating, after taking two or three bites, she lost her appetite and put down her fork, refusing to continue eating.
Seeing that Bai Mengfei had indeed lost her appetite, Xiang Yuntian also lost his interest in eating. He gently pushed the plate in front of him aside and said to Bai Mengfei, "I'm already full."
"Okay, let's go back then?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Xiang Yuntian quickly stood up, nodded, and said, "Okay! Let's go back and solve the case as soon as possible, and hopefully give the deceased an explanation."
Bai Mengfei nodded and replied, "That's for sure!"
The two then left the restaurant together. But just as they stepped out of the restaurant, Bai Mengfei vaguely sensed that someone was secretly following them.
So she turned her head and looked toward that corner.
But a figure flashed into the corner in an instant, moving with incredible speed.
Bai Mengfei instinctively wanted to chase after him, but suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to do so, so she stopped.
Seeing Bai Mengfei's unusual behavior, Xiang Yuntian asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"
Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's voice, Bai Mengfei slowly turned her head to look at him and said, "I'm fine, it's just that just now..."
At this point, Bai Mengfei suddenly stopped and did not continue.
She felt it wasn't convenient to talk there, so she said to Xiang Yuntian, "I'll tell you about this when we get back to the police station."
"Okay!" Xiang Yuntian readily agreed.
After the two returned to the police station, Bai Mengfei said to him, "When we came out after dinner, I noticed someone was spying on us."
"Did you see what that person looked like? Could he be the murderer?" Xiang Yuntian asked nervously.
Bai Mengfei shook her head and recalled, "No, I didn't see his face clearly. He slipped away in an instant. He was too fast, so I didn't have time to see him clearly at all. But I'm sure he was spying on us at the time."
Seeing Bai Mengfei looking preoccupied and lost in thought, Xiang Yuntian was worried about her condition, so he slowly walked over and said, "Alright, don't think too much about it now."
Bai Mengfei shook her head, turned around, and walked away with her back to Xiang Yuntian. As she walked, she pondered and analyzed, "I have a feeling that we've gone in the wrong direction somewhere."
"Why do you think that?" Xiang Yuntian asked curiously.
Bai Mengfei turned around, looked at him intently, and said, "We went to the school before, and then a man came to threaten me, and there was also what happened just now."
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a while, Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath and said, "Could the clue be at the school?"
Bai Mengfei fell silent, lost in deeper thought.
Xiang Yuntian then suggested, "Why don't we go to Renzhi High School again? Maybe we can find out something there."
Bai Mengfei suddenly thought Xiang Yuntian's suggestion was quite good, and nodded slightly in agreement, saying, "Okay, that's a good suggestion. How about we set off this afternoon?"
“Okay, shall I go and inform Wang Tian now? After all, with her help, things might be easier,” Xiang Yuntian said thoughtfully.
Bai Mengfei immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then go ahead!"
Afterwards, Xiang Yuntian went to find Wang Tian.
At that moment, Wang Tian was chatting with the hacker when she saw Xiang Yuntian approaching from afar. She quickly switched the chat window on her computer to someone else's, then casually picked up a file and pretended to be handling a case.
"You haven't left yet? Didn't Forensic Doctor Zhang say you were on leave?" Xiang Yuntian asked with a smile.
Wang Tian nodded immediately and replied, "Yes, but I don't want a holiday."
As she spoke, she stood up, looking at Xiang Yuntian with unwavering determination. "Forensic Doctor Xiang, I've always been very competitive. I especially want to prove to you, and to everyone else, that I am capable!"
Seeing Wang Tian's fighting spirit, Xiang Yuntian didn't want to discourage her, so he said some encouraging words: "Yes, I've always believed in you. And the reason I've come to you is because I do have something I'd like to ask for your help with."
"What's the matter?" Wang Tian seemed a little excited, perhaps because she was happy to be able to help Xiang Yuntian.
Seeing that Xiang Yuntian did not answer immediately, Wang Tian asked expectantly, "What kind of help is it?"
"Bai Mengfei and I have already discussed it and are going to the school to conduct an investigation later, so we need your assistance," Xiang Yuntian said truthfully.
The reason he paused just now was because he knew that the relationship between Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian was actually one of irreconcilable enmity, so it was not easy for him to bring this up.
