Chapter 265 Cooperation Again
"Don't be so modest!" Bai Mengfei said, looking at him with a smile.
In fact, both of them are very modest, and their close proximity at this moment makes them seem more like good friends.
Just as the two were talking, Wang Tian suddenly walked over.
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian noticed someone approaching and naturally looked up and turned to look.
Upon seeing that it was Wang Tian approaching, Xiang Yuntian greeted her with a smile: "Good morning!"
“You two arrived even earlier!” Wang Tian said, pulling out a chair next to her and slowly sitting down.
Because of the previous case, Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian had developed a rift. So at this moment, she quietly turned her face away, not because she was embarrassed to face Wang Tian, but because she felt somewhat awkward.
After all, the two of them had a really big argument before!
Wang Tian realized that she had indeed made a mistake, so she took the initiative to apologize to Bai Mengfei: "I'm really sorry about what happened before, I didn't mean to."
"It's alright," Bai Mengfei quickly replied.
Wang Tian smiled subtly and then asked, "By the way, have you found any evidence in your case?"
Hearing her ask this, Bai Mengfei looked up at Xiang Yuntian with a helpless expression, as if indicating to Wang Tian that she should ask Xiang Yuntian herself.
Xiang Yuntian silently lowered his head.
Wang Tian wasn't naive; she was quite perceptive. So she looked at Xiang Yuntian and asked softly, "Is there some difficulty with the case?"
Xiang Yuntian turned to look at the pile of clues on the table, smiled slightly, and said, "Take a look for yourself! Some of these clues are useful, but I feel that some of them are forged, deliberately used to confuse our investigation."
"Oh? Really? Let me see!" Wang Tian said, and began to examine the object. Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian thought she wouldn't be able to see anything, but they didn't expect her to actually find a problem.
After flipping through them casually, she asked in confusion, "That's strange, how come there are two receipts, and they were ordered at the same time?"
Hearing Wang Tian's question, Xiang Yuntian explained, "So I guess there must have been many people present at the time. But we also asked her neighbors, and they all told us that they hadn't seen any suspicious people come by."
"Is that so?" Wang Tian asked in surprise.
Xiang Yuntian nodded firmly and said, "That's right, that's exactly it, and that's the biggest reason why this doubt exists. Anyway, we're both really stressed out by this case. I originally thought it was a simple case with no difficulty, but now it seems I underestimated it."
Bai Mengfei quickly corrected her, smiling as she said, "No, we underestimated the murderer's abilities."
“Yes, the murderer is indeed very skilled,” Xiang Yuntian agreed.
Wang Tian sat to the side, pondered for a while, and then said, "So this case is really difficult to handle now. Just thinking about it is enough to give one a headache!"
She used "we" instead of "you"!
Bai Mengfei wasn't overly sensitive, but rather had a delicate mind.
Upon hearing this word, she frowned in surprise, then looked up at Wang Tian, her eyes naturally revealing surprise.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wang Tian asked with a soft laugh.
Bai Mengfei raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "You just said 'we,' not 'you all.' So, I'd like to know, were you also involved in this case?"
"Yes," Wang Tian said with a confident smile, "and Captain Zhao specifically assigned me to come!"
"Why did Captain Zhao send you to assist us?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Without hesitation, Wang Tian replied, "I wouldn't say I'm assisting you. Let me put it this way: Captain Zhao thought this case was very difficult and was worried that the two of you would have trouble handling it, so he sent me."
"Oh, I see." Bai Mengfei nodded secretly, but in her heart she thought that there was probably a bigger secret behind this case, otherwise why would Zheng Yueru want to get involved?
Just as Bai Mengfei was lost in thought, Xiang Yuntian and Wang Tian asked at the same time, "What are you thinking about?"
"Me?" Bai Mengfei seemed to wake up from a dream and looked up at them.
Xiang Yuntian nodded sincerely and said, "Yes! We're all very curious. You've been spacing out just now, something must be wrong!"
"It's nothing." Bai Mengfei really didn't want them to know about her relationship with Zheng Yueru.
Xiang Yuntian didn't press the matter further, and Wang Tian, being sensible, also refrained from asking any more questions, simply shrugging her shoulders and revealing a faint smile.
That evening, on the way back with Xiang Yuntian, Bai Mengfei suddenly said, "Do you actually want to know what I've been hiding from you?"
While driving nonchalantly, Xiang Yuntian asked, "What is it? If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. I'm not particularly interested in knowing."
Hearing Xiang Yuntian say that, Bai Mengfei smiled slightly.
Actually, she herself didn't really want to say it.
Bai Mengfei smiled again before saying, "Alright, but I think you can trust me, so I'll tell you anyway. Actually, I've met that woman named Zheng Yueru."
"What? You've seen her?" Xiang Yuntian was somewhat surprised.
Bai Mengfei hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Yes, she came to see me and threatened me, saying that she knew about my unusual background."
"And then?" Xiang Yuntian asked, puzzled.
Bai Mengfei hesitated for a while before saying, "Then she threatened me to promise her something."
"What is it?" Xiang Yuntian asked anxiously.
Bai Mengfei took a deep breath and said, "I don't know either, she didn't say."
As they spoke, the two had already returned to Zhao Fei's residence, and Xiang Yuntian had parked the car.
The two looked at each other.
"Say what you just said again." Xiang Yuntian felt that he might not have heard clearly.
Bai Mengfei took a deep breath and then recounted the whole story again.
After listening, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but feel strange, not understanding why Zheng Yueru would do such a thing.
"Given her status, position, and abilities, what could she possibly need your help with?" Xiang Yuntian asked in a low voice.
