A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

Chapter 468 Entering the house

Lian Zheng glared fiercely at Xiang Yuntian again and said aggressively, "And you, what do you mean I don't know? As the city's number one taxpayer, I know many of the leaders in your police station! Don't give me that fancy talk, or I'll make sure you lose your job!"

Enraged, Xiang Yuntian stepped forward without hesitation and shouted, "Do you know who I am? My name is Xiang..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Mengfei swiftly grabbed him and pressed him down, signaling him to stop talking.

Because she didn't want Xiang Yuntian to become like Lian Zheng, who would readily abuse his power.

Bai Mengfei turned her head, a smile on her face, and looked at Lian Zheng calmly. She said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Is that so? That's really impressive! But I'm not buying your act. I haven't experienced hunger in a long time. If you're really capable, try and see if you can starve me to death."

"You!" Lian Zheng was furious. He immediately turned to the woman in the elegant suit beside him and said, "Call Director Li right now. I want her fired immediately!"

The female secretary dared not delay and immediately dialed Director Li's number.

After clarifying the situation, Director Li learned that Zhang Ting and Xiang Yuntian were handling the case. He immediately made an excuse, saying, "Old Lian, let's talk about this another day when we have dinner together. I've been called by my superiors, and I have to answer the phone."

"Which superior?"

Before Lian Zheng could finish his question, Director Li had already hung up the phone.

Afterwards, Lian Zheng made several phone calls to leaders, specifically mentioning that Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei were the ones who came.

Upon hearing the names of the two individuals, none of the leaders dared to act rashly.

Because Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian were renowned in the forensic field, and they were known for their integrity and incorruptibility, no leader dared to deal with them arbitrarily. Firstly, they feared gossip from other leaders, and secondly, they worried about being blamed by their superiors and unable to bear the consequences.

After Lian Zheng finished making eight phone calls, Xiang Yuntian said impatiently, "Are you even capable? If you're not, then don't interfere with our work!"

Lian Zheng then started acting tough, shouting loudly, "This is my home! You have trespassed into my residence without my permission!"

Xiang Yuntian's lips curled into a mocking smile as he said, "How can this be considered a residence? As far as I know, this is currently a crime scene!"

Bai Mengfei then said something even more intimidating: "As far as I know, people with urban household registration are not allowed to have household registration in rural areas."

Lian Zheng owns numerous properties in the city, so this property is most likely not registered in his name.

At this moment, Lian Zheng's lawyer hurriedly came out and explained, "But according to the law, this is still Mr. Lian's private property, but it is not allowed to be rented, sold, or mortgaged."

In fact, the house was not registered under Lian Zheng's name, because he had indeed considered selling it before.

Seeing that Bai Mengfei had grasped this point, Lian Zheng's expression changed, and he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Alright, enough of this useless talk. Fine, investigate if you want! But don't damage my things, or I'll sue you until you're bankrupt!"

"Heh, what valuable things could you possibly have here?" Xiang Yuntian rolled his eyes at him disdainfully. "Isn't it just that broken table? As for the rest, I think they're all just junk."

Lian Zheng was furious, but he dared not offend the two men easily, fearing that he would be in the wrong. So he had no choice but to leave with his men in a huff.

After he left, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but say, "I never expected that someone so rich would care so much about this place. But there's nothing here. What good would it do for us to investigate? It's not like we're trying to seize his house. I really don't understand why he got so angry."

Bai Mengfei gave a helpless bitter smile and said, "If you could understand this, you would be the richest person now, not him."

Xiang Yuntian hurriedly said, "Hey, you know what! If you had been willing to go into business with me earlier, I would definitely be the richest man by now!"

Hearing this, Bai Mengfei smiled faintly, but her smile carried a hint of bitterness. In truth, no matter what Xiang Yuntian said, she wouldn't agree. Because she knew in her heart that her mission in this rebirth was to solve cases.

The two searched from the front hall to the back courtyard, and carefully examined each room, but still found no valuable clues.

After the two met on the steps at the back door, Xiang Yuntian looked at Bai Mengfei with a disappointed expression and said, "I haven't found anything here. The rooms inside are covered in dust and cobwebs; they haven't been cleaned at all."

"Yes." Bai Mengfei nodded gently and said, "Me too."

Just then, a light rain began to fall again, and the two stood on the steps waiting for the rain to stop, while looking out at the courtyard.

After thinking for a while, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but say, "Actually, I really don't understand."

"What do you not understand?" Since they were waiting for the rain to stop and weren't working, Bai Mengfei decided to listen to his complaints.

Xiang Yuntian said, "Looking at everything here, it seems that Lian Zheng doesn't really cherish this place. So why was he so agitated just now?"

Since Bai Mengfei had nothing better to do, she began to seriously consider the question raised by Xiang Yuntian.

After thinking for a while, she came to a conclusion: "Maybe there really is something important hidden here."

Xiang Yuntian suddenly had another idea and said, "Could it be that there's some unspeakable secret hidden here? Like a corpse or something?"

"No way!" Bai Mengfei said firmly. "The possibility is too small. After all, think about it, both of the deceased were notorious thieves. How could they possibly come here to steal corpses? Nor could they be here to seek some secret for the sake of justice?"

"That's true." Xiang Yuntian nodded helplessly and said, "It seems that the possibility of what I guessed is indeed very small."

"Yes," Bai Mengfei nodded gently in agreement.

Xiang Yuntian thought about it carefully again and said, "But I still feel there's something fishy going on here. After all, Lian Zheng's family is so wealthy and powerful, he has plenty of places to hide things. If it were just ordinary treasure, he wouldn't hide it here, would he? If it were a legitimately acquired treasure, he could have entrusted it to an insurance company for safekeeping, couldn't he?"

"You make a good point." Bai Mengfei nodded gently, acknowledging Xiang Yuntian's reasoning.

Then, Xiang Yuntian continued, "So let's assume there's a treasure hidden here. Where do you think he would hide it?"

"It must be hidden in a very secret place." Bai Mengfei didn't want to think about the question too deeply, so she joked with a wry smile.

Xiang Yuntian sighed heavily and said helplessly, "It must be hidden in a secret place! The problem is, this place is so big, where could it be hidden?"

"You're asking me? Who should I ask?" Bai Mengfei turned around and walked towards the front hall when she saw that the rain had shrunk. "Don't even think about it. Even if we find that treasure, it probably won't be related to solving the case. It might even cause us trouble."
