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

Chapter 365 Entrustment

As an experienced and highly qualified police station chief who had handled countless cases, he couldn't help but feel inferior to Bai Mengfei.

After collecting the footprints, Bai Mengfei turned to Zhu Heng, who was still somewhat dazed, and said, "Director Zhu, I deduce that the murderer should be a middle-aged man between 25 and 49 years old, with a strong and powerful physique, but his left leg should have been injured."

"How did you come to this conclusion?" Zhu Heng asked with a completely humble attitude.

Bai Mengfei gestured for him to come closer, then pointed to the footprint and explained, "Look, this is the left footprint. The left mark is clearly deeper than the right one. If he didn't just twist his ankle, then it's very likely that he already had an injury, which is why he left such a different depth of footprint when he stepped over this mound of earth."

“That makes sense!” Zhu Heng felt that Bai Mengfei’s analysis was very logical and expressed his agreement again.

Kelly watched quietly from the side, her eyes filled with jealousy.

Even Zhu Heng, who was in charge, praised Bai Mengfei's ability to handle affairs, but never acknowledged her, which made her feel inferior in front of Bai Mengfei.

After the police arrived and cordoned off the scene, the four of them returned to the police station.

As soon as Zhu Heng returned, he heard from his colleagues that Xiao Dong wanted to see him.

Zhu Heng felt that it was indeed against the rules to have detained Xiao Dong for so long, so he decided to go see him. Bai Mengfei, considering that Xiao Yun had been kidnapped, felt it was necessary to inform Xiao Dong, so she decided to go with Zhu Heng.

After the two arrived at the interrogation room, Zhu Heng pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Xiao Dong.

When Xiao Dong saw him, the first thing he blurted out was, "How did you take care of my sister?"

"Huh? You already know about your sister?" Zhu Heng asked in surprise.

Xiao Dong clenched his right fist and slammed it heavily on the table, roaring angrily, "If that guy pretending to be a policeman hadn't sneaked in and told me, how long were you planning to keep this from me?"

As he spoke, he stood up swiftly in a fit of rage, his movements incredibly powerful. "You promised me you'd take care of my sister, but now she's been kidnapped by thugs!"

"Did the murderer say anything to you?" Zhu Heng asked in return.

However, Xiao Dong was blinded by anger at this moment. He not only did not answer, but also reached out his right hand, grabbed Zhu Heng's collar, and dragged him in front of him.

Seeing this, Bai Mengfei did not panic. She simply tapped the ground lightly with her toes and slid back a little using the chair's wheels.

She didn't want to get involved in the conflict between men and planned to let Zhu Heng handle it himself.

Zhu Heng was so close to Xiao Dong that he could clearly feel Xiao Dong's anger was about to erupt, so he lowered his head slightly and showed a guilty expression.

"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of your sister," Zhu Heng said weakly.

Xiao Dong was furious. He pushed Zhu Heng away forcefully and said, "What I want is your apology! What I want is for my sister to be safe and sound!"

Seeing that Xiao Dong was losing control of his emotions, Bai Mengfei was worried that he might do something even more extreme, so she stood up and said, "Xiao Dong, please listen to me first."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Dong turned around, glared at her, and yelled, "Shut up! It's not your sister who's been kidnapped. What do you know, you little girl?"

"Xiao Dong, that's enough!" Zhu Heng grabbed Xiao Dong's wrist with his right hand.

Just as a fierce conflict was about to erupt, Bai Mengfei, relying on her rationality, spoke the truth: "The reason the murderer told you this was to see you in this state, to see us fighting amongst ourselves. Maybe right now he's hiding somewhere watching us, laughing at us for killing each other like mad dogs!"

Hearing these words, Xiao Dong and Zhu Heng's anger gradually subsided.

They released each other's hands one after another, slowly sat down, and both showed a melancholy expression on their faces.

After a long silence, Zhu Heng finally spoke, "My sister's only son has also been kidnapped. How could I possibly feel better than you?"

At this moment, Xiao Dong was already in tears and speechless. He stared at the table with tears in his eyes, remaining silent.

Bai Mengfei felt that Zhu Heng's mutual accusations were pointless, so she stepped forward and said rationally, "The most urgent task right now is to find the murderer as soon as possible. The hostage is in his hands, and no one can say for sure when he might suddenly lose control and kill the hostage. So we must find him and bring him to justice before he kills the hostage!"

As she spoke the last few words, Bai Mengfei emphasized them, slamming her right hand heavily on the table.

A loud bang woke Zhu Heng and Xiao Dong up. Although startled by the noise, they both turned to look at Bai Mengfei.

"Do you understand?" Bai Mengfei asked softly.

Xiao Dong and Zhu Heng were both intimidated by Bai Mengfei's imposing presence and nodded in agreement. Zhu Heng also decided to release Xiao Dong first. After all, Xiao Dong was no longer a suspect, and having more people meant having more strength.

After the three left the interrogation room, Zhu Heng called Bai Mengfei directly to his office.

In the director's office, Bai Mengfei was extremely anxious and did not sit down, but stood.

"Director Zhu, what brings you here?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Seeing that Bai Mengfei didn't want to sit down, Zhu Heng stood up as well and said, "This case has really given me a headache. I didn't expect things to get so out of control and serious. I'm very confused right now and just want to talk to someone."

As he spoke, he walked toward the window.

After walking to the window, he said to Bai Mengfei, "But that murderer is too cunning. I feel like he's everywhere. I don't know who I can trust anymore."

"Then why are you telling me all this?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Without hesitation, Zhu Heng replied, "Because I trust you."

"Why? I don't feel like I have anything particularly trustworthy about me."

Zhu Heng turned his head, looked at her, slowly shook his head, and said, "No, your temperament makes people feel reliable. I've been a policeman for so many years and have seen all kinds of people. I rarely misjudge whether a person is good or bad."

"But didn't you misjudge Xiao Dong?" Bai Mengfei's voice trailed off as she finished speaking, because it sounded like she was blaming Zhu Heng.

But that was the truth, and Zhu Heng accepted it, explaining, "That's because it was my family member who was kidnapped by the criminals, and my emotions affected my judgment. That's why I called you here; I feel I'm no longer suited to continue investigating this case and want to hand it over to you."

"Huh? You want me to take full responsibility?" Bai Mengfei felt that this responsibility was too heavy and she was somewhat afraid to accept it. "I'm afraid I can't handle it."
