Chapter 297 Apprentice
Chapter 297 Apprentice
Upon arriving at the morgue, she slowly walked to Xiang Yuntian's side and looked up at him.
Xiang Yuntian noticed her approaching, then gently put down the microscope in his hand, turned his head, took off his mask, and asked with a smile, "You've come?"
“Yes.” Bai Mengfei looked displeased. “Captain Zhao just talked to me and mentioned another case. Sigh, you know how it is, it’s making me feel really uneasy.”
"What kind of case is it?" Xiang Yuntian asked immediately with concern.
Bai Mengfei frowned, looking somewhat disappointed. After a moment's thought, she said, "It's alright. Captain Zhao has temporarily put that case on hold."
After speaking, Bai Mengfei stepped forward, took Xiang Yuntian's microscope, and wanted to see what he was observing. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that Xiang Yuntian was studying some skin tissue.
"Which case are you working on right now?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Xiang Yuntian immediately replied, "We are investigating the case of that female victim, the serial dismemberment case."
"Oh." Bai Mengfei responded softly, nodding slightly, a look of sudden understanding on her face. "I understand. Is there any progress in the case?"
"Not yet, but I think it'll be clear soon."
Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's words, Bai Mengfei simply hummed in agreement and said nothing more. After observing the situation for a while, she decided that the case should be put on hold for the time being, and said, "Then I'll leave this case to you for now. I'll go and deal with Zheng Yueru's case first."
After saying that, Bai Mengfei turned around and prepared to leave.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Yuntian hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's question, Bai Mengfei stopped and turned to look at him, saying, "Go find Wang Tian. I need to find her immediately and get her to cooperate with my investigation."
"Hmm?" Xiang Yuntian didn't quite understand what Bai Mengfei meant.
Bai Mengfei had no choice but to explain to him: "Currently, only Wang Tian can help me with this case, because I need to investigate the internal staff of Han Law Firm."
"Is it Han Jie's company?" Xiang Yuntian asked.
Bai Mengfei nodded and walked out of the morgue. But just as the morgue door was about to close automatically, Xiang Yuntian pushed it open again and ran out.
"Hey." In the corridor, Xiang Yuntian stood at the door, watching Bai Mengfei's retreating figure. "Can I come with you?"
Bai Mengfei didn't turn around, but shook her head and said, "No need, you should stay here for now. There are many cases here that need your attention."
“But I’m worried about you,” Xiang Yuntian said.
"What's there to worry about? I'm not some stunning beauty, no one would make a move on me," Bai Mengfei said half-jokingly.
Xiang Yuntian hurriedly explained, "Oh my god, that's not what I meant. I meant, I hope you can let me come along, maybe I can be of help!"
Bai Mengfei took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and said, "Alright, since you insist, then come with me. But I still think it's better for you to stay here, since the police station needs more manpower right now."
After speaking, Bai Mengfei turned her head and looked at Xiang Yuntian with a serious expression.
Xiang Yuntian blinked slightly, frowning as if he were somewhat conflicted.
Ultimately, however, he followed his heart and secretly followed Bai Mengfei. After finding Wang Tian, the three-person investigation team resumed their operations.
On the way, sitting in Xiang Yuntian's car, Bai Mengfei called Jiang Shuai again on her cell phone. Because this case might involve some technical aspects of the investigation, they needed a professional like Jiang Shuai.
At 10:30 a.m. sharp, the four met outside Han Jie's law firm.
As Bai Mengfei walked, she briefly explained to them what to do. After all, they didn't have a search warrant; they were only asking company personnel to cooperate with the investigation, so they couldn't use forceful methods.
Upon arriving at the front desk, Bai Mengfei told the secretary, "I want to see the person in charge here." Of course, she knew Han Jie was dead; her purpose was to see who the current person in charge was, as they were highly suspicious.
After thinking for a while, the secretary led them to Attorney Du's current office.
Chang Chun was Han Jie's prized student and his only successor.
Bai Mengfei had already learned about this before she met Chang Chun.
Changchun has always been a very filial son and a gentleman. Although he can be a bit rash at times, he is kind-hearted and gentle.
Upon learning that the police wanted to see him, the somewhat simple-minded Chang Chun immediately put down his work and went to the office.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Bai Mengfei and the others were there, so he quickly walked in and said humbly, "Officers, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
“We’re not police officers. I’m the forensic doctor in charge of your master’s case. She’s the police officer.” As she spoke, Bai Mengfei turned to look at Wang Tian.
Wang Tian quickly stood up from the sofa, walked over, and waved to Chang Chun.
Chang Chun seemed a little embarrassed to shake hands, appearing shy and reserved. This was understandable; he looked to be only around 23 years old and didn't yet know how to handle many things.
"Hello Officer Wang, I don't know what you've come to ask? But as long as it can help the police solve the case, I will do my best to cooperate." Chang Chun said as he walked towards his desk.
At this moment, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian both became unusually quiet.
They quietly observed Chang Chun, paying attention to his facial expressions and every move, trying to understand what kind of person he was.
The impetuous Chang Chun hadn't noticed everyone's gaze yet, and was only thinking about how to cooperate, appearing enthusiastic and eager, even somewhat flustered.
Even when asking his secretary to pour him coffee, he hesitated and changed his mind repeatedly, appearing quite flustered.
Could such a person be the murderer who killed his master?
The possibility is extremely slim.
Bai Mengfei turned her head and met Xiang Yuntian's gaze. Their exchange of glances conveyed exactly what they meant.
Xiang Yuntian understood the meaning behind Bai Mengfei's gaze, and nodded slightly, showing an understanding expression. In fact, he also felt that Chang Chun was unlikely to be the murderer.
Logically speaking, an apprentice who goes to his master's house should be very familiar with it, making him a prime suspect.
