Chapter 212 Truth is the Most Important
Chapter 212 Truth is the Most Important
In a fit of extreme anger, Xiaomeng's father finally revealed his weakness, and Bai Mengfei and the other two simultaneously turned their gazes toward Xiaomeng's mother.
In an instant, Xiaomeng's mother lowered her head in shame.
She didn't dare to raise her head at all, and deliberately avoided the three people's questioning gazes.
Bai Mengfei slowly stood up, walked towards her, and asked, "Are you the child's biological mother?"
She nodded slightly, but made no sound.
"You must have heard the saying 'Even a tiger won't eat its cubs,' right?" Bai Mengfei pressed.
Upon hearing this, Xiaomeng's mother immediately showed displeasure, abruptly raised her head, stared at Bai Mengfei, and said, "How I discipline my daughter is my business, and it's none of your place to interfere. Get out, my daughter's case is none of your concern, all of you get out."
After saying that, she reached out to push Bai Mengfei away.
Seeing this, Wang Tian quickly stepped forward, blocking Bai Mengfei and stopping Xiaomeng's mother, saying, "Please don't do this! The police have already opened a case, and your behavior constitutes obstruction of official duties. I have the right to take you back to the police station."
"Go ahead and arrest me if you dare! I want to see what you can accuse me of!"
“Domestic violence, premeditated murder.” This time, Wang Tian did not hesitate and directly took out handcuffs and handcuffed Xiao Meng’s mother: “You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say can be used against you in court.”
"I gave birth to this child and raised her!" Xiaomeng's mother shouted arrogantly, frowning.
Bai Mengfei calmly stepped forward, stood in front of her, and said seriously, "But children also need to be respected! Every person and every life is equal before the law! Take them away."
In the end, Bai Mengfei sighed heavily.
Wang Tian nodded silently, then led Xiao Meng's mother away from the scene.
However, arresting her and bringing her back to the police station was not the ultimate goal; it was merely the beginning of the case. Next, they faced an even more daunting task—uncovering the drug dealers behind the sale of the "glucose."
At the same time, the serial murder case also urgently needs to be solved by them.
Feeling immense pressure, Xiang Yuntian sat alone in his office, drinking hot water from a disposable cup. Bai Mengfei saw this from afar and immediately understood his mood, so she slowly walked over.
After approaching him, in order to break the silence as soon as possible and understand his true thoughts, Bai Mengfei took the initiative to speak, "Hey, what are you thinking about sitting here all by yourself? It's quite rare to see you like this!"
As she spoke, Bai Mengfei sat down beside him.
Xiang Yuntian held the water glass in both hands, first lowering his head slightly, then looking up at his colleagues coming and going. He sat there silently and repressively for a while before saying to Bai Mengfei, "We are facing so many challenges right now, how come you're not flustered at all? I feel like I can't breathe, and my head is really throbbing."
Bai Mengfei smiled slightly, then raised her left hand and gently patted his shoulder, saying with a smile, "Alright, don't look so gloomy, look at you."
Hearing Bai Mengfei's half-joking words, Xiang Yuntian turned his head curiously to look at her, his eyes full of confusion. He really didn't understand what Bai Mengfei was thinking at that moment, but her optimistic and open-minded attitude truly moved him.
"How can you be so calm? I think you are the person who cares most about these cases besides me."
“No.” Bai Mengfei smiled slightly and corrected her, “I’m probably even more nervous than you, but my nervousness isn’t shown on my face. It’s hidden in my heart, and only I know it. Let me put it this way, I’m also very worried. After all, some rumors have started circulating online again. Those voices of doubt seem to be coming out in droves again.”
“Yes!” Hearing this, Xiang Yuntian finally felt that Bai Mengfei understood his feelings and said excitedly, “So aren’t you worried? There are still so many cases piled up.”
“We can solve this step by step. We can put that serial murder case on hold for now,” Bai Mengfei said decisively. “After all, I read a book that mentioned a pattern called the ‘suspension pattern.’ Why don’t we give it a try?”
Just hearing the name of this mode, Xiang Yuntian understood its meaning.
In an instant, he felt that Bai Mengfei's method was not bad, so he nodded silently.
However, his worries did not lessen. "I still feel that this case is not simple. I'm just really agitated, you know?"
"I know." Bai Mengfei smiled slightly, turned to look at him, and her eyes revealed a look of great interest: "I knew it from how nervous you were. You've never been like this before, but I have to say, you're really overthinking things this time. We've been through so many cases together, so many hardships and dangers, and we've made it through them all, haven't we?"
“This time it’s different!” Xiang Yuntian immediately took out his phone and showed Bai Mengfei the comments on the BBS about the case, saying, “The public has set a deadline for us to solve the serial murder case.”
Bai Mengfei didn't even look at it. She calmly and composedly placed her hand on the phone screen and said, "I know without looking that they do have the right to supervise us, but they don't have the right to tell us what to do or set time limits for us, do they?"
“It seems so.” Xiang Yuntian nodded silently, then shook his head. “But it doesn’t seem entirely right, because…”
Before Xiang Yuntian could finish speaking, Bai Mengfei continued, "Our current superior is Team Leader Zhao, so we just need to follow his instructions and cooperate with his work."
Xiang Yuntian immediately said, "But I just heard Captain Zhao tell me that these cases need to be handled quickly! You know what? Captain Zhao is just too embarrassed to directly ask us what to do, but that doesn't mean the cases aren't urgent."
Hearing Xiang Yuntian say this, Bai Mengfei turned her face away, her brows furrowing slightly. She was actually aware of this, but she intentionally avoided thinking about it, not wanting to put too much pressure on herself, lest it affect her judgment when handling cases.
But now that even Xiang Yuntian has brought this up himself, she has no choice but to seriously consider it.
"Yes, you're right. That's exactly what Captain Zhao meant."
Bai Mengfei slightly raised her hand, gently twirled a strand of hair with her index finger, and then let her finger glide along the smooth strand. "But we need to weigh the priorities ourselves. Captain Zhao's opinion is important, and the progress of the case is also crucial. But ultimately, the truth is the most important thing. We must put finding out the truth first. Remember that."
