Chapter 301 Another Case
Chapter 301 Another Case
Han Cai was naturally very curious about this and eager to know the answer.
With her handcuffed hands, she laboriously dragged the folder to her face and examined it carefully.
Gradually, her eyes became blurred with tears, and glistening teardrops slowly slid down her cheeks.
What exactly did she see? Records show that the man had a history of inappropriate behavior with women in entertainment venues and had been imprisoned multiple times even before they met. After their breakup, he escalated his behavior, committing multiple robberies, assaults, and rapes.
"How could this be? This can't be real, it's impossible!" Han Cai cried out, unable to accept this cruel reality.
Bai Mengfei sighed softly, her heart filled with regret, and then said, "I believe that your adoptive father, Han Jie, also investigated these materials in his early years. You are still young and easily deceived. But think about it carefully, Attorney Han is so busy with his work every day. If it weren't for loving you, why would he spend time and energy managing you? In fact, this kind of strict discipline and care is true love."
Upon hearing these words, Han Cai was heartbroken and burst into tears.
She bent over and rested her head on the edge of the table. Her pitiful cries echoed in the interrogation room, mixed with her deep remorse for her crimes.
She recounted the detailed process of killing Han Jie, mentioning that during the argument, Han Jie could have acted in self-defense by pushing her off the building, but he ultimately let go and ran downstairs, whereupon he was tragically killed by her.
After listening to Han Cai's story, Bai Mengfei was filled with emotion and sighed: Even tigers don't eat their cubs. Even at the brink of death, Han Jie still showed mercy to his adopted daughter.
After some thought, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian decided to leave first. After all, they both understood that Han Cai certainly didn't want others to see her in such a disheveled and pained state.
When it was time for lunch, they arrived at Changchun's location again.
Upon seeing them, Chang Chun lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at them even once. Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian, on the other hand, walked up to Chang Chun unhurriedly, calmly observing him.
"Chang Chun, why are you protecting Han Cai? Han Jie was your master. He was brutally murdered. Aren't you the one who most wants to avenge him?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's question, Chang Chun lowered his head and fell silent.
Seeing his expression, Bai Mengfei suspected that he was not cooperating, so she looked at him suspiciously and asked again, "Are you not planning to tell me?"
Chang Chun gently shook his head, his face showing an expression that he didn't want to say anything, and he even gave a slight bitter smile.
“If you continue like this, we will prosecute you for harboring a criminal. Are you really willing to accept such consequences?” Xiang Yuntian asked.
Unexpectedly, Chang Chun nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I am willing. My master only has one daughter, Han Cai. The day before he passed away, he repeatedly told me that if he was gone, I must take good care of her."
Bai Mengfei then understood Chang Chun's predicament. She stood up and said to Chang Chun, "Alright, I will plead with Captain Zhao. Perhaps you won't go to jail, but you must abide by the law and moral standards in the future. Normally, the law should take precedence over human sentiment, but you did not cause any serious consequences, so we will make an exception for you this time."
After saying this, Bai Mengfei led Xiang Yuntian outside, with Xiang Yuntian following closely behind. Chang Chun watched the two figures leave, feeling lost and dejected. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Once outside, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but ask Bai Mengfei, "Isn't your decision a bit against the rules?"
"Really?" Bai Mengfei said softly, "But I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
Since Bai Mengfei had said so, Xiang Yuntian could only silently express his support and nod.
As soon as they entered the police station lobby, Xiang Yuntian said, "By the way, we haven't rested all night. Shall I drive you home first?"
"Alright, anyway, the serial murders of teenage girls are unlikely to be solved anytime soon, and Zheng Yueru's case is now considered closed." After saying that, Bai Mengfei raised her hands and stretched, a rare sight of her relaxing.
Xiang Yuntian watched her from behind and couldn't help but smile slightly, revealing a rare smile.
Seeing Bai Mengfei continue walking forward, Xiang Yuntian quickly followed. The two had just gotten into the car, and before Xiang Yuntian could even start it, he saw Zhao Fei rushing over, tapping on the car window with his knuckles.
Upon hearing the knocking sound, Xiang Yuntian turned around and saw Zhao Fei. He immediately rolled down the car window.
As soon as the car window opened, Zhao Fei eagerly stuck his head in, not caring whether he would get his head caught. His hasty action showed that he indeed had something very urgent to attend to.
"Captain Zhao, what happened?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Zhao Fei quickly opened the car door and pulled Bai Mengfei out. Standing beside her, he said breathlessly, "Zhang Ting, let's talk about another case?"
"Huh?" Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian exclaimed at the same time, dumbfounded.
Seeing their surprised expressions, Zhao Fei smiled slightly and said, "Hey, you don't need to be so surprised."
"But Zhang Ting and I haven't rested for almost two days and one night!" Xiang Yuntian said excitedly.
Zhao Fei hurriedly explained, "Actually, this case might seem difficult to solve to others. But with Zhang Ting's help, it's different. It shouldn't be a problem for you, and you can handle it quickly."
Listening to Zhao Fei flatter them, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian could only stand aside and smile bitterly, trying to find some humor in their misery.
Bai Mengfei turned her head helplessly to look at Xiang Yuntian, hoping he could make a decision. But Xiang Yuntian was also hesitant, just blinking and looking at Zhao Fei.
After a moment of silence, Xiang Yuntian finally broke it and asked, "Captain Zhao, what exactly is the case?"
Zhao Fei took a deep breath and said, "It's a very mysterious murder case. So far, the killer has killed two people. We really have no other choice, so we asked you two to take action."
“But we’re not made of iron!” Bai Mengfei said.
Zhao Fei immediately shook his head, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Others may not be like that, but you are different."
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei's expression changed. She immediately pulled Zhao Fei to the side of a street lamp and asked sternly, "What do you mean by that? Are you threatening me?"
"What? A threat?" Zhao Fei frowned, a thoughtful expression on his face. "No, it's just that your background is rather special, isn't it? So I think if we hold on a little longer, it should be fine, right?"
"There's a problem!" Bai Mengfei exclaimed, clearly agitated. "Captain Zhao, I'm a human being too!"
