Chapter 223 Danger
Chapter 223 Danger
“That’s right! Look, no one has touched these bedding and other things.”
Bai Mengfei walked to the bedside and pointed to the pillow: "There isn't a single wrinkle on it. It's obvious that Forensic Doctor Xiang didn't come back to sleep last night."
Unexpectedly, Qu Ying laughed and said, "Isn't this normal? Forensic Doctor Xiang is a man. He's new here, so he goes out to find some fun. It's common for men to do this."
Bai Mengfei, however, was resolute. She stepped forward aggressively and said to Qu Ying with certainty, "No, I trust Xiang Yuntian. He is definitely not that kind of person."
Qu Ying retorted, "I think the relationship between you two is just that of colleagues, right? Do you really know him that well? Or does he have to report everything he does to you?"
Hearing these words, Bai Mengfei found them unbearable and turned her head away, not wanting to pay any more attention to him.
Anyway, Bai Mengfei knew in her heart that even if she pressed on, she might not be able to get any useful information.
Bai Mengfei then turned and left, taking out her phone to call Xiang Yuntian.
At this moment, Xiang Yuntian's phone kept ringing in the morgue, but no one was there, so no one answered. He had only come out of the morgue yesterday after hearing footsteps and bumped into Qu Ying; he hadn't had time to grab his phone, which was still inside.
After making several phone calls in her hotel room, Bai Mengfei knew that no one would answer, so she gave up.
She turned her head and called Zhao Fei instead: "Hey, Captain Zhao, forensic doctor Xiang has disappeared. I don't know where he went. I'm very worried."
Zhao Fei was driving at the time when he heard Bai Mengfei say this and realized the seriousness of the matter.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Xiang Yuntian, Xiang Yuntian was not the kind of irresponsible person who would just leave without leaving any trace.
So he said, "Zhang Ting, don't worry. I'm out investigating a case right now. I'll stop by your district on my way back, okay?"
"Okay, Captain Zhao, hurry up and come here." As she spoke, Bai Mengfei kept her eyes on Qu Ying, her eyes unconsciously revealing a wary expression.
Women's intuition is often accurate. In her opinion, Qu Ying had a big problem, and that was probably true.
After hanging up the phone, she saw Qu Ying walking over and immediately said, "Don't come near me."
"Zhang Ting, forensic doctor, what's wrong with you?" Qu Ying asked with a smile, pretending to be very confused.
Bai Mengfei looked him up and down before saying, "To be frank, I now strongly suspect that you may never have been a good person. In short, I have no good feelings towards you, and I advise you to stay away from me."
Seeing the two public officials at each other's throats, the waiter, being a lowly waiter, didn't dare to get involved.
So he wisely turned around and quietly slipped away.
In the blink of an eye, only Qu Ying and Bai Mengfei remained in the room.
Qu Ying stared at Bai Mengfei, his eyes gradually revealing dissatisfaction, and even a hint of murderous intent.
If Bai Mengfei hadn't known Xiang Yuntian before, she probably wouldn't have been able to discern the psychology behind that look. But she had known Xiang Yuntian for a long time and had learned some of the mind-reading abilities he possessed.
Seeing the look in Qu Ying's eyes, she could imagine what he was thinking.
So she said irritably, "Please leave now, I want to be alone."
It's daytime now, so Qu Ying can't do anything to Bai Mengfei.
So he lowered his gaze, pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Okay, then you should get some rest!"
After Qu Ying left, Bai Mengfei held her phone, feeling inexplicably flustered.
To be honest, at that moment she really didn't know what to do.
That feeling of wanting to cry but being unable to make a sound made her feel extremely distressed.
Because both last night's nightmare and the various signs left in reality seem to suggest that Xiang Yuntian has really gotten into trouble.
Just as Bai Mengfei was feeling flustered, Wang Tian suddenly walked in and asked, "Zhang Ting, what are you doing in Forensic Doctor Xiang's room?"
Bai Mengfei subconsciously turned around and saw that it was Wang Tian. She felt a sense of relief. She breathed a heavy sigh of relief and then walked towards Wang Tian.
She walked up to Wang Tian and immediately gave her a hug, leaving Wang Tian at a loss for words. She could only raise her hands and put them on her shoulders in response.
"Zhang Ting, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Wang Tian asked.
Bai Mengfei choked back tears as she whispered in Wang Tian's ear, "I think something might have happened to forensic doctor Xiang."
"What?" Wang Tian immediately tensed up. She knew Bai Mengfei's personality well and felt that Bai Mengfei wouldn't have become so fragile and suddenly made such a move unless something really happened.
After gently pushing Bai Mengfei away, she stared intently into Bai Mengfei's eyes and asked with a doubtful tone, "Are you telling the truth?"
“I’m not sure either, but I had a nightmare last night that forensic doctor Xiang was murdered. I went to his room first thing this morning and found that he hadn’t come back to sleep at all! That’s not all, Team Leader Qu just came by and said that he went out to have fun. Based on what you and I know about forensic doctor Xiang, do you think he would do such a thing?”
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's question, Wang Tian pondered for a moment.
She also believed that Xiang Yuntian was not that kind of person and would never do such a thing.
After a moment of contemplation, she said to Bai Mengfei with certainty, "I don't think this matter is that simple."
“I think so too,” Bai Mengfei said affirmatively.
Wang Tian thought for a moment, then said firmly, "Your sixth sense might be right. Actually, I've long suspected there's more to this case than meets the eye. It's not that simple. Especially that Team Leader Qu, I think he's a bit suspicious. But I'm worried that even if we find something out, Team Leader Zhao won't be able to arrest him. That's why I asked you yesterday which of the two of them has a higher rank."
Bai Mengfei suddenly realized what was happening and nodded slightly. However, she knew very well that the most important thing right now was to find Xiang Yuntian.
If they still can't find Xiang Yuntian, it's too dangerous for the two of them to stay here!
