Chapter 505 It means something
Chapter 505 It means something
With a look of suspicion in her eyes, Bai Mengfei asked Zhang Ji in a low voice, "Officer Zhang, how come you happened to be passing by my door that night?"
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei mention this matter, Xiang Yuntian also cast a suspicious glance at the chapter, staring intently at it.
Zhang hurriedly explained, "Because I was just going back to my dorm! Actually, I was quite startled when you came out."
Seeing the innocent expression on Zhang Jie's face, Bai Mengfei chose to believe him. Xiang Yuntian, skilled at observing micro-expressions, was even more convinced from Zhang Jie's subtle mannerisms that what he said was true.
Therefore, the two no longer had any doubts about the chapter.
Chapter looked around the messy room and asked, "What should we do with this room now?"
"Let's pack it up tomorrow," Bai Mengfei decided.
Xiang Yuntian then asked, "So where will I sleep tonight?"
Not wanting Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei to squeeze together, Zhang said, "Sleep at my place! My room is more spacious. Besides, it would be my honor to share a night with Forensic Doctor Xiang."
Xiang Yuntian was a little embarrassed to ask Bai Mengfei for a place to stay, so he nodded slightly and agreed to Zhang Jie's suggestion.
Bai Mengfei, worried about causing misunderstandings, did not ask Xiang Yuntian to stay in her room to rest.
And so, Xiang Yuntian went to Zhang Jie's room to rest.
In the middle of the night, a sharp scream pierced the night sky, startling Zhang Jie and Xiang Yuntian awake. They hurriedly got out of bed, because they recognized the voice as a woman's.
The two quickly put on their coats and arrived at Bai Mengfei's door.
Seeing that the door was open, Xiang Yuntian and Zhang Jie went inside one after the other.
As soon as the light came on, they saw Bai Mengfei sitting on the bed, panting heavily, her forehead covered with glistening beads of sweat.
Judging from her pale face, she was clearly terrified by something horrible.
The two hurried to her side.
Zhang Jie stood on the left and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Xiang Yuntian knew Bai Mengfei very well; he knew something unusual had happened, and it couldn't be just a simple nightmare. Because given Bai Mengfei's personality, even if she had a nightmare, she wouldn't have such a strong reaction.
Moreover, from Bai Mengfei's wide-eyed pupils, he could see that Bai Mengfei was truly terrified at this moment.
"What happened?" Xiang Yuntian asked softly.
Bai Mengfei took a moment to adjust her breathing and calm down before turning around and saying with a serious expression, "I just saw someone walk up to my bedside, holding a piece of cloth, trying to suffocate me."
The chapter then asked, "Are you dreaming?"
"No!" Bai Mengfei turned to look at the door and said, "Look, the door is open. But I definitely didn't get out of bed to open it."
At this moment, Bai Mengfei's legs were still a little weak.
She had just gone through a fierce struggle before letting out that scream.
The chapter then says, "Could it be that you opened the door while sleepwalking?"
"impossible!"
Xiang Yuntian didn't want Zhang Jie to question Bai Mengfei any further, so he looked up at Zhang Jie and said seriously, "Forensic Doctor Zhang would never be wrong. Her intuition is always very sharp, and her judgment is always accurate. She would never make a mistake in this kind of thing, and she would never play such a silly joke on you."
Only then did Zhang Jie believe Bai Mengfei's words. He nodded and said, "Then I will report this matter to my superiors immediately."
"Wait a minute!" Xiang Yuntian suddenly called out to him.
Zhang looked at Xiang Yuntian with a puzzled expression and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Xiang Yuntian said solemnly, "Your superiors are also suspects. Currently, the only ones without suspicion are the three of us. Because I was with you at the time, I know you couldn't possibly be in two places at once to commit the crime, and neither could I. As for forensic doctor Zhang, she was a victim, so she is even less likely to be the murderer."
Hearing Xiang Yuntian say this, Zhang Jie said, "Actually, neither of you are suspects. Because you were transferred here from outside, and a murder had already occurred here before you came to solve the case. But you're right, at least this proves my innocence. But who is the murderer? Could it really be Brother Dong?"
“No!” Bai Mengfei shook her head secretly and said, “Dong Ge always smells of alcohol and cigarettes; he’s a heavy smoker. But that person just now didn’t have those smells.”
Zhang nodded, then asked, "Besides that, did you see any facial features or other distinguishing characteristics of that person?"
Bai Mengfei slowly shook her head and said in a deep voice, "I didn't see anything. I'm used to sleeping with the lights off. Besides, that person not only covered my mouth with a cloth, but also my eyes."
"Do you think he wanted to kill you?" Zhang asked.
Bai Mengfei nodded firmly and said, "Judging from the force he used just now, I think there's a high chance he wanted to kill me."
Zhang then looked up at Xiang Yuntian, wanting to see if he had any good ideas.
Xiang Yuntian lowered his head with a serious expression, seemingly deep in thought.
In the end, Xiang Yuntian made a decision: "We'll stay here with you tonight. As for the rest, we'll find Uncle Shi tomorrow and then make a decision."
There was no better solution at the moment, so Bai Mengfei agreed, "Okay."
The next morning, the three of them found Uncle Shi and told him in detail what had happened the night before.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Shi immediately suggested, "We can go check the surveillance room. Ever since those incidents, I've suggested installing hidden cameras in the surveillance room. If the murderer goes to the surveillance room and sabotages the system, the cameras will definitely capture him. So this time, I think he'll have nowhere to escape."
So, everyone went to the monitoring room, only to find that the video feed was damaged and unviewable. After reviewing the footage from the hidden pinhole camera, they found no evidence of any suspicious individuals having been there.
The staff member said, "It's possible that the source of the camera has been compromised. And that person must be very knowledgeable about this, so they were able to cleverly avoid the camera's view and destroy it directly."
"But just anyone can't just walk in here!" Uncle Shi said grimly. "So I think it's very likely that this was done by an insider. Humph!"
After saying that, he clenched his right hand tightly and slammed it heavily on the table.
Seeing Uncle Shi so angry, Zhang Qu quickly said, "Uncle Shi, as long as the murderer is still here, he will eventually slip up. Don't be too angry, it's not worth ruining your health."
Uncle Shi turned his head, looked at Zhang Jie, let out a long sigh, and said, "I'm angry at that person. As a law enforcement officer, he actually broke the law and did such a heinous thing."
Zhang Jie shrugged and said, "After all, some people are just like that. And that person might have psychological problems to begin with, so maybe he can't control himself."
When he spoke, the "person" that Zhang was thinking of was actually Dong Wenrun.
