Chapter 206 Believe in yourself
Xiang Yuntian understood Bai Mengfei's meaning and knew that she still harbored strong suspicions about Fang Kai.
Xiang Yuntian frowned, observing Bai Mengfei's expression with suspicion, trying to discern her inner thoughts.
He even felt that Bai Mengfei's suspicion of Fang Kai was a bit excessive!
Seeing that Bai Mengfei remained calm and composed, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but ask, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, but he's really suspicious, don't you think?" Bai Mengfei said, turning her head to look elsewhere.
Xiang Yuntian sighed helplessly, then said, "I think it's alright."
Bai Mengfei smiled softly, a smile that was deep and mysterious, impossible to fathom. Even Xiang Yuntian was completely baffled, utterly unable to understand the meaning behind her smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiang Yuntian asked curiously.
Bai Mengfei took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said, "I still can't do anything about him. What else can I do if he doesn't smile?" After saying that, Bai Mengfei turned and left.
The reason she smiled like that was because she sensed that the case had made some progress.
Why do you say that?
From that tooth mark, we can actually find quite a few clues.
Just as Bai Mengfei was lost in thought, Xiang Yuntian chased after her and asked anxiously, "What are your thoughts now?"
"What thoughts? I don't have any thoughts." After saying that, Bai Mengfei even deliberately shrugged, pretending to be indifferent.
Xiang Yuntian was puzzled and stared at her with great interest, his eyes full of suspicion.
However, Bai Mengfei finally confessed to Xiang Yuntian: "Okay, let me tell you, I think the case has made great progress. As long as we go back to the school to investigate further and follow this clue, we will definitely be able to easily find the murderer."
Hearing this, Xiang Yuntian felt that Bai Mengfei made sense, so he nodded silently in agreement.
The two then returned to the school to conduct their investigation, but this time they focused on the objects instead of the people. Often, objects are far more reliable than people.
At least objects don't lie, but people do.
The two returned to the school to conduct a thorough search of the premises. During the investigation, Bai Mengfei discovered some white powder residue near a large tree.
"Xiang Yuntian, come and take a look at what this is!" Bai Mengfei called out.
Xiang Yuntian, who was originally conducting an investigation on the track, immediately came over, squatted down next to Bai Mengfei, and began to observe together.
After examining it carefully for a while, Xiang Yuntian discovered that it was actually lime powder. He then said to Bai Mengfei, "It seems that this body was dumped here later. This is definitely not the primary crime scene."
"Impossible!" Bai Mengfei raised her head and pondered for a moment: "If this isn't the primary crime scene, then it doesn't make sense, because all the signs the body presents, including the information it conveys, indicate the time of the crime..."
At this point, even Bai Mengfei herself was a little confused.
At the same time, a sense of panic welled up in her heart!
why?
She believed the murderer was likely a forensic pathologist, and perhaps even more skilled than herself. If a forensic pathologist committed a crime, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So she turned her head with a worried expression, frowning as she looked at Xiang Yuntian, hoping he could understand her thoughts and inner turmoil.
In truth, Xiang Yuntian understood. He quietly looked back at Bai Mengfei, his breathing becoming rapid.
"Are you thinking that the culprit behind this might be a forensic doctor who is even more skilled than us? He must be someone who is an expert in this field!" Xiang Yuntian said.
Bai Mengfei nodded slightly, agreeing, "That's right, that's what I think too. That's why I'm a little panicked now. He was able to create such a contradiction, so maybe he deliberately left this lime powder there."
After speaking, Bai Mengfei turned her head again and looked at the lime powder left on the ground.
Xiang Yuntian agreed with Bai Mengfei's point, nodding in agreement, "That's possible, and quite likely. Do you remember his provocations towards us before?"
“I remember that threatening and warlike tone,” Bai Mengfei said softly. “It’s clear that he may have deliberately left these clues for us to tell us that he is better than us. Even if we discover these clues, understand the contradictions, and realize that he tampered with the corpses, we still can’t do anything about it.”
“Yeah.” Xiang Yuntian suddenly had a thought: “Could it be that even if we combined our IQs, we still couldn’t beat him?”
Bai Mengfei silently shook her head, placed her hands on her knees, and slowly stood up.
As she stood up, she recalled, "It's hard to say, but in any case, things aren't that simple. Now, when I think back to how I was killed in my past life, I also feel there are many suspicious points. He made everyone believe that Zhang Shun killed me, and even I almost believed it myself, thinking that Zhang Shun was the murderer."
"But in the end we still found out the truth, didn't we?" Xiang Yuntian asked.
Bai Mengfei turned her head, looked at him seriously, and said, "No, think about it. If Zhang Shun hadn't confessed everything and explained the situation, do you think we would have known that I was killed by him?"
“Indeed, if Zhang Shun hadn’t said anything, we wouldn’t have thought about it that deeply.” Xiang Yuntian lowered his head, his brows furrowed, a surge of panic rising within him, as if his heart were on fire: “Then what should we do?”
"Let's go back and examine the body first?" Bai Mengfei suggested.
Xiang Yuntian pursed his lips, shook his head silently, and said, "I think even if we go for another check, we probably won't find any new clues."
"You must not lose faith." Bai Mengfei stretched out her right hand and gently lifted Xiang Yuntian's chin with her index finger: "Look into my eyes."
Xiang Yuntian did indeed raise his head and look back at her, the negative emotions that had previously flickered in his eyes seemingly rekindled. From his gaze, it was clear that Bai Mengfei had restored his confidence.
Only Bai Mengfei had the ability to help him get back on his feet.
Bai Mengfei looked at him and said softly, "Look at me and promise me that you can do it!"
"Yes, I can do it!" Xiang Yuntian thought to himself: For Bai Mengfei, I must succeed no matter how difficult it is!
Seeing that he had regained his confidence, Bai Mengfei smiled slightly and said, "If we don't even believe in ourselves, how can we expect the masses to trust us?"
