Chapter 177 Testing
"Sure, where would you like to meet? I've taken sick leave, so I have plenty of free time lately."
Lü You responded.
Bai Mengfei lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and then said as she walked, "I'm at the police station right now. Drive to the police station to find me. It's the same police station where you were brought to give your statement."
Lu You responded with an "Oh," and then immediately hung up the phone.
Through this brief exchange, Bai Mengfei felt that Lü You was not a bad person at heart, and had a straightforward personality. According to the Enneagram, he might belong to the skeptical type.
Bai Mengfei pondered this as she waited in place.
Just then, Xiang Yuntian walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside while thinking about the case. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of Bai Mengfei.
He was immediately puzzled: "Where is Bai Mengfei going? Why is she standing there like she's waiting for someone?"
Just as Xiang Yuntian was filled with doubt, a black Audi slowly drove up, and Bai Mengfei got into the car.
That's right, this is Lü You's car.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xiang Yuntian frowned instantly, his face showing extreme surprise.
He thought to himself.
What's going on with Bai Mengfei?
How did I suddenly end up in someone else's car?
Just as he was filled with anxiety, Wang Tian, who couldn't understand some parts of the report he had given her, came in and asked, "Forensic Doctor Xiang, what did you say in your report..."
Before Wang Tian could finish speaking, Xiang Yuntian lost control of his emotions, turned around angrily, and said, "Aren't you annoying? Why are you asking me this endlessly?"
Xiang Yuntian is not usually like this; he has always been mild-mannered.
Therefore, Wang Tian felt very surprised by his attitude towards her at this moment.
A strange sense of unease welled up in Wang Tian's heart, making her feel suffocated and unable to help but wonder if she was really that annoying.
"I'm sorry, Forensic Doctor Xiang, I'll check it online myself. I won't bother you any longer."
After saying that, Wang Tian turned and walked out.
Xiang Yuntian closed his eyes tightly, pondering to himself what was wrong with him.
The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became, filled with worry that Bai Mengfei might have fallen for someone else.
But why did they have to let him see this?
He would rather have known nothing at all, but now that he had seen it, how could he pretend not to know anything?
……
Meanwhile, on the other side, Bai Mengfei sat in the car, offering neither smiles nor words of comfort to Lü You.
Perhaps due to her long-term dealings with corpses, Bai Mengfei seemed to have long forgotten human relationships and only knew how to handle official business.
"So, what happened after your argument?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Lü You replied, "She left right away, and I stayed for a while longer before leaving."
Bai Mengfei was present at the time, but Lü You did not notice her.
This is why Bai Mengfei was able to confirm that Lü You was not lying.
He did stay in the same spot for a while before getting up and leaving.
Bai Mengfei pondered quietly for a moment, then asked earnestly, "And after you leave?"
At this moment, she felt that Lü You's words were more credible, so she continued to ask questions.
Lu You said, "After leaving, I wandered around aimlessly. At that time, my mind was in complete chaos, and you could say that my values had collapsed. I didn't even know how to be a person or how to do things anymore."
“I also missed work for a day and a night. It was during that time that she was murdered. So I realized that I was a prime suspect.”
Bai Mengfei responded with an "Oh," and nodded slightly, thinking that was indeed the case.
This is too much of a coincidence. He never asks for leave, but he did at this particular time. No wonder people suspect that he asked for leave to commit murder.
Just as Bai Mengfei was lost in thought, Lü You said again, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? If you don't mind, I'll treat you to a meal."
“I’m a suspect now. My friends are avoiding me, my clients don’t want to work with me anymore, and the board of directors even held a meeting today to consider replacing me. I have so many worries, and now I feel like the whole world thinks I’m the murderer.”
“No wonder, your relationship wasn’t very good to begin with.” Bai Mengfei said this involuntarily.
Unexpectedly, Lü You turned around excitedly, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with grief and dissatisfaction: "Don't make judgments if you don't understand. How do you know that my relationship with her is bad?"
“Because you had an argument before she died,” Bai Mengfei replied.
Unexpectedly, Lü You said, "You're still young and probably haven't been in a relationship before, so you don't understand the feeling of arguing because you care too much."
In fact, Bai Mengfei is not young, but she has never been in a relationship.
But she and Xiang Yuntian often argued because they cared about each other, so how could she not understand?
The only difference is that their way of arguing is different from the way Lü You and his girlfriend broke up.
Just as Bai Mengfei was pondering, Lü You had already led her to a Japanese restaurant.
Since she was already there, Bai Mengfei had no choice but to reluctantly have dinner with him in order to learn more about the situation.
During the meal, Bai Mengfei carefully observed Lü You's every move.
Why should we pay attention to these things?
Based on the faint strangulation marks on the corpse's neck, Bai Mengfei initially analyzed that the deceased was likely left-handed, with a stronger left hand than right.
However, Lü You behaved normally; he ate with his right hand, and his left hand did not appear to be any stronger than his right.
However, this could be an act, so Bai Mengfei decided to find a way to test him.
A person's first reaction in an emergency is often their true reaction.
But what kind of situation is urgent enough?
Bai Mengfei held her chopsticks, looked down at the tablecloth, and fell into deep thought.
Her expression caught the attention of CEO Lü You, who said, "What are you still thinking about? Let's eat!"
Just then, Bai Mengfei thought of a way to test the waters.
In an instant, she reached for a can of mustard on the table, stood up, and pretended to smash it over Lü You's head.
If Lü You were truly left-handed, he would have raised his left hand first.
At this moment, Bai Mengfei was staring intently at Lü You's hand.
Lu You, who seemed perfectly normal, was still raising his right hand, and even shrank back slightly, gasping for breath, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
After Bai Mengfei saw that he was indeed normal, she slowly sat down, shook her head to herself, and explained, "It's nothing, I just wanted to play a joke on you. You know, I'm still young and like to have fun."
Bai Mengfei came up with such a far-fetched excuse, but Lü You didn't care and believed it to be true.
At this moment, the surrounding guests all looked at them.
Because Bai Mengfei's actions were so realistic, almost everyone thought she was going to hit Lü You.
If it weren't for the fact that the two weren't developing a relationship further, someone would probably have called the police or come over to break up the fight.
