Chapter 418 Suicide
Chapter 418 Suicide
"Okay, I'll take Captain Zhao and the others there right now. You just wait for me there!" Xiang Yuntian said anxiously, his voice full of worry.
After finishing speaking on the other end of the phone, he quickly hung up and led Zhao Fei and the others to their destination in a flurry of activity.
After everyone gathered, they went to the primary school together and waited quietly for Linghu Bin to finish class.
As soon as Linghu Bin finished class, Captain Zhao personally led a group of men to surround him, arrest him, and solemnly announced his crimes: "Are you wondering why we went to such lengths to arrest you? Let me tell you, your meticulously planned serial murder case has been completely exposed!"
Unexpectedly, Linghu Bin did not show any surprise. Instead, he appeared remarkably calm and even smiled slightly, saying softly to everyone, "Everyone, keep your voices down, don't scare the children."
He was quietly led to the police car, but halfway there, he suddenly bit his tongue and committed suicide.
The officers in the car, including Zhao Fei, were immediately thrown into a panic. The police car came to an emergency stop, and Zhao Fei anxiously said to the officer next to him, "Hurry up, go to the car in the back and call forensic doctor Xiang and forensic doctor Zhang over. Be quick!" As he spoke, he pushed the officer because he was too anxious.
The policeman didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly jumped out of the car, quickly calling Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian over.
When the two arrived, after a thorough examination, they were saddened to find that Linghu Bin was beyond saving.
“This is true suicide out of guilt!” Bai Mengfei pinched Linghu Bin’s cheek, stared at his mouth, and said with a furrowed brow, “The cause of death was indeed a broken tongue, which caused him to die in excruciating pain.”
"Why would he do this?" Zhao Fei shook his head, his face full of doubt. "I've been a policeman for so many years, and I've never seen a criminal like this. As long as he's alive, there's still hope, and even if the law punishes him, his death shouldn't be so gruesome."
"Perhaps there's some hidden story behind this?" Bai Mengfei speculated.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fei became somewhat flustered and couldn't help but look up, saying, "You're not still thinking of continuing the investigation, are you? We still have many cases waiting for you and Forensic Doctor Xiang to handle! Right now, there's a very bizarre case that happened at the school."
Before Zhao Fei could finish speaking, Bai Mengfei firmly said, "But there are still doubts in this case, and as long as there are doubts, we must continue to investigate!"
Zhao Fei knew that Bai Mengfei was right, so he could only nod helplessly and agree, "Then you can continue the investigation."
"Hmm!" Bai Mengfei responded sullenly, then turned to Xiang Yuntian and said, "Then you and Captain Zhao go back to investigate the case, I'll stay and continue the investigation."
Hearing this, Xiang Yuntian was deeply moved and said with some excitement, "No! I want to stay and keep you company."
Bai Mengfei slowly shook her head and said, "No need, I'm safe on my own. The case over there is more important."
Xiang Yuntian knew he couldn't persuade Bai Mengfei, so he raised his head and looked at Zhao Fei with expectant eyes, hoping that Zhao Fei could arrange for him to stay.
Zhao Fei read Xiang Yuntian's thoughts from his eyes and said, "Since forensic doctor Xiang also wants to stay, then you two can stay here. As for this body, I will take it back to report, and at the same time have the forensic doctors at the identification center re-examine it."
“Okay!” Bai Mengfei nodded in agreement. “Then we’ll get off the car first. Be careful on the road, don’t drive too fast, so as not to damage the body.”
"Understood!" Zhao Fei replied.
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian got out of the car one after the other.
After Zhao Fei and his group drove away, Xiang Yuntian immediately asked Bai Mengfei, "How did you manage to get through these past few days all by yourself?"
"It was the village chief who helped me, that's why I'm still alive." After saying that, Bai Mengfei turned and walked towards her place.
Xiang Yuntian dared not delay for a moment and hurriedly followed behind her, his steps quick.
The two walked together into the banana grove and found the simple house. After following Bai Mengfei into the house, Xiang Yuntian frowned and asked, "Have you been staying here all this time?"
Bai Mengfei never considered herself a pampered person; she thought she was very ordinary, so she nodded slightly.
However, Xiang Yuntian felt extremely distressed.
Although Xiang Yuntian nodded in agreement, his heart was filled with sorrow. After a long silence, he finally spoke his heart to Bai Mengfei: "I'm sorry, I've made you suffer."
Bai Mengfei smiled faintly and looked at him, saying, "How can this be considered suffering? Actually, as long as I have food and shelter and can survive, that's enough. Besides, this is my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you."
"I..." Xiang Yuntian opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and then mustered up the courage to say, "But I'm your boyfriend! I'm so sorry for letting you live like this."
"It's alright!" Bai Mengfei walked over and closed the door. "Gender equality is encouraged nowadays. Besides, I'll take good care of myself; it's not as bad as you think. Getting back to the point, let's talk about the case, shall we?"
"A case?" Xiang Yuntian didn't actually know what else Bai Mengfei wanted to investigate.
Bai Mengfei could tell from Xiang Yuntian's expression, so she said, "I suspect there may be other cases hidden behind this case."
Xiang Yuntian was completely bewildered, looking at Bai Mengfei with suspicion, carefully observing her expression, wondering what kind of case was involved behind the scenes.
Just as Xiang Yuntian was pondering this, Bai Mengfei said, "I think there's an even bigger case behind this, and it wasn't done by one person alone. Because our investigation of Linghu Bin went too smoothly this time, I speculate that the case is also related to Linghu Bin. Those people may have deliberately pushed him out to use him as a tool to kill someone else."
Xiang Yuntian seemed to understand but not quite. He stared at Bai Mengfei with his bright eyes, waiting for her to continue.
Bai Mengfei realized that Xiang Yuntian hadn't been involved much in this case, and it would be difficult for him to understand if she told him these things now.
So she said succinctly, "Here, no matter how nice someone is to you, don't easily trust anyone, understand?"
Hearing Bai Mengfei speak so mysteriously, Xiang Yuntian asked with a wry smile, "Does that include you?"
“Of course not me!” Bai Mengfei said. “I’m talking about the villagers here. Oh, and Qi Han too.”
"Qi Han?" Xiang Yuntian thought Qi Han should be innocent, so he asked, "Was she also involved in the crime? Isn't she a victim?"
“Things aren’t as simple as they seem. Anyway, my sixth sense tells me that this case is full of lies and illusions.” Bai Mengfei recalled everyone’s behavior and said, “Don’t just look at what others do, and don’t just listen to what others say.”
"If you don't see or hear, how can you investigate the case?" Xiang Yuntian raised his left hand, scratched the hair on his neck, and asked in confusion.
