Chapter 485 Fantasy Marriage
After taking a bath and returning to her room, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but think of the question Xiang Yuntian had asked her before she took a bath.
From Xiang Yuntian's attitude and expression, Bai Mengfei could clearly sense that he was serious.
In fact, Bai Mengfei felt a slight joy in her heart because of this.
Because when Xiang Yuntian called her name, he didn't call her "Zhang Ting," but rather her original name.
This made her realize that Xiang Yuntian loved the real her, regardless of her appearance.
She gently clutched the blanket covering her, looked up at the ceiling, and like a young girl experiencing first love, her thoughts drifted uncontrollably, and she began to daydream.
She imagined the scene of her wedding with Xiang Yuntian, and fantasized about how beautiful and moving she would look in her wedding dress.
She was actually filled with anticipation for all of this.
That night, she shed the solemnity and composure she usually displayed as a forensic doctor and slept soundly.
On this night, she was no longer the calm and professional forensic doctor, no longer "Zhang Ting", nor the former Bai Mengfei, but just an ordinary woman who simply longed to become Xiang Yun's little girlfriend.
Xiang Yuntian is not a domineering CEO, and he rarely has a strong attitude, but it is his gentle and sincere appearance that deeply conquers Bai Mengfei, making her unconsciously develop a spiritual dependence on him.
She thought that in this world, Xiang Yuntian was like her only family. If one day Xiang Yuntian were really gone, she would be at a loss, as if she had lost the direction of her life.
Lost in these random thoughts, she gradually drifted off to sleep.
That night, she had a beautiful dream. In her dream,
She and Xiang Yuntian walked hand in hand into the warm and romantic wedding hall, completing the happiest moment of their lives.
Strangely enough, Xiang Yuntian also had the same dream.
This is indeed somewhat unbelievable, but perhaps it is precisely because they both deeply care for each other that this is the wonder of true love.
The next morning, they both slept until 8:30 before finally waking up. Clearly, it was too late to rush to work now.
However, they weren't in a particular hurry. Zhao Fei hadn't called to urge them, and the matters they were supposed to handle at the police station, except for the thorny case of the serial murders of teenage girls, had all been temporarily put on hold.
The body is still there, awaiting examination by the medical examiners.
Although an autopsy is not required, slide examination is more time-consuming than an autopsy, so the matter has been put on hold. After all, even without an autopsy, they can roughly predict the results; the autopsy step is more of a formality.
After getting up, Xiang Yuntian went to the living room to wash up.
Bai Mengfei paused briefly to carefully tidy her hair before leaving the room.
When she arrived in the living room, Xiang Yuntian had just finished washing up and was coming out of the bathroom.
She smiled at Xiang Yuntian and asked, "Are you done washing up?"
"Okay, it's your turn!" Xiang Yuntian replied with a slightly shy smile.
She gave a soft "hmm" and went into the restroom.
After they were both ready, they realized they were already late. Xiang Yuntian suggested, "How about we go get breakfast together? Anyway, I don't think anything particularly important will happen in the morning even if we go back to the police station now."
Bai Mengfei thought he made sense, so she agreed: "Okay."
So the two went to the restaurant they used to frequent and ordered Bai Mengfei's favorite dishes.
Halfway through the meal, Bai Mengfei received a text message notification that her salary had been deposited into her account. But that wasn't the important part; the important part was that Zhao Fei called her shortly afterward.
She thought Zhao Fei was going to question them about why they hadn't gone to work that morning, so she quickly answered the phone.
But then Zhao Fei said, "You've been paid your wages, did you see that?"
"Yes, I saw it. You didn't just want to say that, did you?" Bai Mengfei asked with a smile.
Zhao Fei quickly replied, "Of course not! I wanted to ask why you didn't come this morning? I thought you were in the morgue, but I just went there and found you weren't there."
"We overslept this morning and were late," Bai Mengfei explained.
Zhao Fei then said, "Oh, it's okay! As long as you're all alright. Just remember to come to work this afternoon or tomorrow. I'll give you half a day or a full day off; you can decide what to do."
Bai Mengfei couldn't help but laugh, nodded, and said, "I understand, thank you!"
"No problem!" Zhao Fei laughed. "By the way, I have some good news for you! I've found the suspect. His name is Lian Muchen. He was Cai'er's classmate and an old friend when she was a child. I interrogated him, and just as you guessed, he really didn't seem suspicious. Moreover, he only found out about Cai'er's death later. Also, I discovered that he doesn't smoke."
"Oh, I knew it!" Bai Mengfei chuckled to herself. "If there's nothing else, I'll continue having breakfast with Forensic Doctor Xiang."
"Okay, you guys eat first!"
"Ah."
After Bai Mengfei hung up the phone, Xiang Yuntian asked, "What did Captain Zhao say to you?"
"He said he found the man in yesterday's photo, but there's really nothing suspicious about him."
"Did he ask us about our absence this morning?" Xiang Yuntian was more concerned about this question.
After all, he had always been a law-abiding person, and in his view, skipping work was just like skipping school or truancy in school – not a good thing.
Bai Mengfei narrowed her eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "It's nothing serious. Captain Zhao has already approved our leave."
"Oh, that's good! How long should it be left?"
"Half a day or a day, it depends on our own arrangements." As she spoke, Bai Mengfei thought of Cai'er's body in the morgue. She felt that the body needed to be examined again, and perhaps more valuable clues could be found. "However, I want to go back to the police station after dinner, because I think that body needs to be examined carefully."
In fact, Xiang Yuntian had long considered giving up his forensic profession to go into business, and he had developed a certain aversion to handling corpses, not wanting to touch them again. Hearing Bai Mengfei say this, he felt somewhat troubled.
But seeing Bai Mengfei's wide eyes and the curious and expectant look on her face, he couldn't bear to refuse in the end, so he smiled and nodded, agreeing, "Okay, then we'll go over after we finish eating."
After finishing their breakfast, the two returned to the police station together.
Upon arriving at the police station, they immediately put on protective suits, white masks, and gloves, and went straight into the morgue.
Cai'er's body was still lying there, and it had become very cold due to the low temperature in the morgue.
However, it was precisely because of the low temperature that the rate of decomposition of the corpses slowed down significantly.
