Chapter 192 Omission
Chapter 192 Omission
"Hey, what are you busy with?" Bai Mengfei asked with a smile.
Xiang Yuntian didn't want to tell Bai Mengfei about this, hoping she could get some rest early tonight.
Unexpectedly, Bai Mengfei noticed something amiss at a glance and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Feeling somewhat embarrassed that Bai Mengfei had seen through him, Xiang Yuntian forced a smile and said, "No way, what could I possibly be hiding from you? Don't overthink it, go and get some rest."
As he spoke, he was still thinking about going to the police station later to help Zhao Fei determine whether Feng Biao was the real murderer.
After all, there is no conclusive physical evidence at present, and as a forensic doctor, collecting evidence is a crucial responsibility.
Bai Mengfei persisted, asking, "Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Think it over carefully; I won't force you."
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian quickly smiled apologetically and confessed, "Alright, I've already contacted Captain Zhao and asked him to apprehend the suspect, Feng Biao. I'm planning to go help him now, and I'll probably be busy all night again, which is why I didn't tell you."
"Oh, I see. No, I have to go with you." Bai Mengfei said resolutely.
Xiang Yuntian was quite helpless. He knew Bai Mengfei's personality well and knew that she would definitely do what she decided to do, so he reluctantly agreed: "Alright then."
Late at night, the two went to the police station together.
Zhao Fei had already subdued the suspect Feng Biao, and Wang Tian was also present.
When she saw Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian appear together, a look of surprise appeared on her face, mixed with a hint of dissatisfaction.
This slight dissatisfaction was clearly directed at Bai Mengfei.
She frowned and looked at Bai Mengfei with some displeasure for a while, then took a deep breath to compose herself.
Bai Mengfei knew she was jealous, and at the same time, she remembered that she had tried to match her up with Xiang Yuntian that day, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
After all, everyone is bound to be a little selfish when it comes to love.
While Zhao Fei interrogated Feng Biao, the three of them quietly observed from the monitoring room.
Feng Biao confessed: "I did go to that restaurant that day, but I don't remember the specific details very clearly. However, I am really not a suspect. After I finished eating, I used a ride-hailing app to take a taxi to my friend's house, and the time was recorded."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and showed it to Zhao Fei to prove that he was not at the scene of the crime.
"It's impossible for a person to be in two places at the same time, right?"
Bai Mengfei also believed that the real murderer was not Feng Biao, and she frowned as she pondered.
Xiang Yuntian said, "I think Feng Biao is still highly suspicious. The time of this kind of software can be faked and it can even be booked, so this cannot be used as evidence to clear him of suspicion."
Bai Mengfei thought Xiang Yuntian's words made sense, so she nodded and continued watching Zhao Fei interrogate Feng Biao.
At this point, Zhao Fei asked again, "So you don't remember that woman at all?"
"I only remember her bumping into me, nothing else," Feng Biao replied.
Zhao Fei pressed on, "Then why did you keep staring at that man afterwards?"
"Which man?"
"The man sitting on the left against the wall is that woman's boyfriend. You should have seen him when you came in through the glass door, right? That woman left from his table."
Feng Biao shook his head and said, "I didn't notice that. I was looking at my phone while walking. After entering the restaurant, I saw that the man looked a little uncomfortable, and I was thinking of asking him if he needed any help. I have really reformed myself. After all, I have a criminal record and made a mistake once, so I want to do more good deeds to make up for my past mistakes and give back to society."
After listening, Xiang Yuntian turned to Bai Mengfei and asked, "Do you believe what he said?"
Before Bai Mengfei could answer, Wang Tian interjected, "That's possible. There's about 70-80% credibility to what he said. Based on my previous experience, he wasn't lying."
Xiang Yuntian didn't blame Wang Tian for interrupting. On the contrary, he was in a good mood because of Bai Mengfei, so he earnestly communicated with Wang Tian: "I think so too. Judging from his micro-expressions, he really doesn't seem to be lying."
Bai Mengfei suddenly blurted out: "Then who is the real murderer?"
After listening to Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment and then made a bold guess: "Could it be that waiter or Lü You? Think about it, otherwise why would they be so eager to help us?"
"Perhaps they were just being kind," Bai Mengfei said.
That was indeed possible, so Xiang Yuntian simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
The three of them waited for more than half an hour before Zhao Fei hurriedly walked in. As soon as he entered, Zhao Fei said to them, "I have interrogated Feng Biao in detail, and I feel that he really does not seem like a murderer. Moreover, the evidence he provided is very favorable to him and can prove that he is not the murderer."
“Yes, I know,” Xiang Yuntian replied.
Just then, Zhao Fei stepped forward and whispered to the three of them, "Actually, there's something I need to tell you. I really want to solve the case as soon as possible because I'm under a lot of pressure from above. But the quality of the case is also very important! I want to close the case quickly, but I don't want any wrongful convictions. In the future, don't just bring someone in on suspicion; it's hard for me to explain to these people."
After hearing Zhao Fei's words, Xiang Yuntian felt a little uneasy.
Ultimately, he was only trying to solve the case, but he didn't expect to be scolded by Zhao Fei in return. He felt that his good intentions had been betrayed.
So he gave a curt "hmm" and then turned to look at Bai Mengfei, wanting to see her attitude.
In many ways, he still cared about Bai Mengfei's thoughts and liked to observe her expressions, just like before.
However, Bai Mengfei remained expressionless, completely absorbed in her own thoughts.
She wondered if she had overlooked some important detail.
