Chapter 217 Enlightenment
Wang Tian sat on Xiang Yuntian's bunk, sighed heavily, and said dejectedly, "Nothing works, nothing works, but the three of us know in our hearts that the murderer is clearly that guy! He actually dared to murder his own daughter, so cruel, and we are powerless against him! Is there no justice in this world?"
Even if there is no justice in the world, we can still strive for it, and there will always be a way.
With that, Bai Mengfei turned around and walked towards the balcony.
Wang Tian stayed overnight there.
The next day, the three of them told Zhao Fei exactly what they had found out the night before.
After understanding the whole story, Zhao Fei was also very troubled, saying, "With just these physical evidences, we can't prove that he is the murderer of our daughter. If he doesn't confess, no one will believe him! After all, isn't there a saying that 'even a tiger won't eat its cubs'?"
“That’s right, that’s what the three of us are worried about too.” Bai Mengfei looked at Zhao Fei and nodded.
Zhao Fei pondered for a while with frustration, then sighed and said, "So what are your plans now? Did you just come here to tell me the truth?"
"Do you trust us?" Xiang Yuntian suddenly asked.
Zhao Fei was taken aback and asked, "Believe in what?"
"Do you believe what the three of us are saying?" Xiang Yuntian pressed.
Zhao Fei replied without hesitation, "What are you saying? Of course I believe you! We're all in the same boat. You've been helping me investigate all along. What can those other people do besides talk the talk? So I definitely believe you!"
Xiang Yuntian nodded gently and said, "It's good that you believe me!" After saying that, he immediately turned to look at Bai Mengfei standing beside him, a hint of joy unconsciously showing in his eyes.
At this moment, even Bai Mengfei had no idea what brilliant idea Xiang Yuntian had come up with, and she looked at him with great suspicion.
Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment, then paced back and forth around the three of them, saying as he walked, "Since there's no way to approach it directly, let's try a different approach. For this case, we can use superstitions to force him to tell the truth."
"How do we force it?" Zhao Fei asked.
“Xiao Meng is dead, right?” Xiang Yuntian asked with a smile.
Zhao Fei said, "Is there even a question? You were the ones who examined the body!"
"That settles it, doesn't it? So we can use the deceased Xiaomeng to get her father, Hou Heping, to reveal the truth. However..."
As he spoke, Xiang Yuntian walked to Zhao Fei's side, leaned close to his ear, and whispered a few words.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fei was astonished and speechless.
"Will this method really work?" Zhao Fei asked in surprise.
Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly and said, "Trust me, Captain Zhao, you can definitely do it!"
Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian had no idea what they were up to and looked at them with suspicion.
That evening, Zhao Fei, in his capacity as team leader, invited Hou Heping to the police station for a talk.
Hou Heping, perhaps wanting to prove his innocence, came to the police station openly and even pretended to be very sad.
Anyone who doesn't know the truth will definitely be deceived by him.
At this moment, Zhao Fei pretended not to know anything and said to him, "Don't be too sad. Xiao Meng's death was caused by those bad people."
"We hope that the police will catch those people for Xiaomeng and prevent them from harming other children."
As they were talking, Hou Heping noticed that Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian, and Wang Tian were standing strangely to the side, not saying a word.
So he turned his head and glanced at it.
After glancing at them, he turned back to Zhao Fei and asked curiously, "What are those three people doing standing here?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Zhao Fei stood up and deliberately introduced them, "They are the forensic doctor and the criminal police officer in charge of investigating Xiao Meng's case. I'm sure you've already met them before, haven't you?"
"I've seen it, what's wrong?"
Zhao Fei walked up to Xiang Yuntian and said, "Actually, the reason I invited you here is because there is a very important matter that concerns the three of them."
"The three of them had a nightmare last night, dreaming about Xiaomeng and you!"
Upon hearing the last sentence, Hou Heping's face turned deathly pale, clearly feeling guilty.
He looked at Zhao Fei and the others in horror, and asked tremblingly, "What exactly did you dream about?"
"Forensic Doctor Xiang, you tell us!" Zhao Fei pretended to be helpless, making Xiang Yuntian tell the fabricated "truth" himself.
Xiang Yuntian pretended to be reminiscing and said, "Last night, I dreamed that I was in a chemistry classroom, which looked a bit like my middle school classroom. Then I saw a little girl standing in the corner, her face was pale and her eyes were fixed. I was very curious, so I walked over to her in the dream."
"And then?" Hou Heping sat up straight, looking particularly attentive.
Xiang Yuntian raised his head, pretended to think for a moment, and then said, "Then I went closer and saw that the girl was Xiaomeng."
"Anything else?" Hou Heping pressed.
Bai Mengfei immediately continued according to the plan: "And me, his next dream actually appeared in my dream, that's the strangest thing, we feel like Xiaomeng is sending us a message in a dream! I dreamed that Xiaomeng was pinching you!"
“No!” Wang Tian said, repeating the previously agreed-upon statement: “I dreamt that Xiao Meng was choking a woman.”
"You're talking about the dream you had before. Do you remember the time in the dream?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Wang Tian pretended to think for a moment and said, "I don't remember, but it seemed like it was just getting light, because I heard a rooster crowing in my dream."
Upon hearing this, Hou Heping's forehead was covered in sweat, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
Clearly, he felt guilty and swallowed hard to calm himself.
"Are you alright?" Zhao Fei asked deliberately.
Hou Heping then came to his senses, let out a long sigh, and said, "Yeah, I'm fine, I'm all right." After saying that, he forced a smile, but it was a fake smile that didn't look real at all.
After laughing, he stood up, supporting himself on the handrails, and said to Zhao Fei and the others, "Captain Zhao, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. Your three subordinates must be having such strange dreams because they're working too hard on the case."
With that, Hou Heping hurriedly left Zhao Fei's office, almost as if he were running away!
