Chapter 180 Bribery
Chapter 180 Bribery
In that instant, a thought flashed through Bai Mengfei's mind like lightning.
The murderer might be a woman!
As Bai Mengfei was deep in thought, Xiaoman suddenly came upstairs and gently knocked on the door.
Upon hearing the knock, Bai Mengfei opened the door.
Upon seeing Xiaoman standing outside the door, Bai Mengfei quickly smiled at her and said, "Miss Xiaoman, is there anything I can help you with?"
As she spoke, Bai Mengfei frowned slightly, unconsciously revealing a hint of wariness.
Xiaoman smiled sweetly and said, "I didn't expect Miss Zhang to know my name."
"Because I overheard your conversation just now." Bai Mengfei turned around: "Miss Xiaoman, please come in and sit down."
Xiaoman nodded and walked in confidently, saying as she went, "Just call me Xiaoman. I heard you're the forensic doctor in charge of this case?"
Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment, then smiled and nodded in acknowledgment: "That's right, Xiaoman, is there something you want to say to me?"
Xiaoman turned her head, reached out and gently closed the door, and said with a smile, "Then I'll be frank. I have a favor to ask, and I hope you can make an exception for me, Zhang Ting. I can guarantee that the boss will never kill anyone."
Bai Mengfei smiled slightly, walked to the side and sat down, asking with a smile, "Xiaoman, are you guaranteeing this with your personal integrity?"
“Yes,” Xiaoman nodded with a smile and said, “That’s right. I can guarantee it not only with my personal integrity, but also with money.”
"Two hundred thousand, is that enough? If not, we can add more; we can discuss the price."
Is this considered bribery?
Bai Mengfei had never encountered such a situation even in her previous life.
For a moment, she was stunned.
She winked secretly, looked at Xiaoman, smiled and shook her head, saying, "I'm sorry, Miss Xiaoman, I always only do business as required."
Xiaoman immediately stood up from the sofa and asked, "Are you sure?"
"That's right. I only judge right and wrong based on facts."
Bai Mengfei replied with certainty, "However, I can tell you some good news. Based on the physical evidence I have collected so far, Lü You is indeed not the murderer. The real murderer still needs further investigation."
Meanwhile, Xiang Yuntian was frantically searching for Bai Mengfei, almost going crazy with worry.
When I called Zhao Fei, he said, "Zhang Ting isn't here. I just called her, but no one answered."
Xiang Yuntian went to the house that Zhao Fei had lent to Bai Mengfei, but Bai Mengfei was still nowhere to be found.
Left with no other choice, Xiang Yuntian could only lean against the door and slowly squat down.
He desperately clutched his hair, his mind on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, Bai Mengfei was still dealing with Xiaoman.
Although Bai Mengfei had already told Xiaoman the news, Xiaoman still firmly said, "I never like the possibility of making mistakes, so I need to buy myself insurance. Zhang Ting, please help me, I will remember this favor."
After saying that, she stepped forward, gently took Bai Mengfei's hand, leaned close to Bai Mengfei, and looked at her pitifully.
Bai Mengfei smiled slightly, slowly shook her head, gently withdrew her hand, and said, "This isn't quite right, Xiaoman. Although I'm very grateful to Mr. Lü for taking me in, gratitude is one thing, but I can't go against my conscience."
Xiaoman lowered her head, pondered for a moment, smiled slightly, and then walked away.
Bai Mengfei turned her head and watched her leave before closing the door.
After Xiaoman left completely, Bai Mengfei gently closed the door and lay down on the bed.
At first, she was preoccupied with the case and couldn't help but wonder: Could the murderer be Xiaoman?
Could it be that she wanted to steal her lover, so she resorted to this cruel act?
But after careful consideration, she felt it was unlikely. If Xiaoman really had something to do, there seemed to be no need for her to kill someone.
She tossed and turned in bed, turning over, and couldn't help but think of Xiang Yuntian again.
She was very curious about Xiang Yuntian's current situation, what he was doing, and whether he had really given up and was now lying in bed sleeping.
Bai Mengfei hoped it would be like that.
But that wasn't the case. Xiang Yuntian was leaning against the wall, staring blankly at it.
He thought Bai Mengfei had already returned and fallen asleep, completely unaware that Bai Mengfei hadn't even brought her keys.
Xiang Yuntian stood foolishly outside the door until dawn before finally getting up to leave.
At this moment, Bai Mengfei had already said goodbye to Lü You and was preparing to go to the police station.
She arrived at the police station before Xiang Yuntian, but when she didn't see him, she frowned and asked Wang Tian, "Why hasn't Xiang Yuntian come to work yet today?"
Wang Tian exclaimed in surprise, then shrugged and said, "I don't know, but he was acting strangely yesterday afternoon. He was standing by the window, looking like he was in a bad mood, and he even yelled at me."
Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment and realized that Xiang Yuntian was so angry because he saw her get into Lü You's car.
So she coldly said to Wang Tian, "Okay, I understand. Go ahead and do your thing."
Wang Tian was completely confused, but upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, she nodded gently: "Okay, I understand."
Bai Mengfei arrived at the work area and sighed softly.
She suddenly realized that she had been a bit too harsh on Xiang Yuntian yesterday. Holding the instruments in her hand, she had no intention of continuing to work and her mind was in complete turmoil.
After waiting for about half an hour, she finally saw Xiang Yuntian walk in hurriedly.
As soon as he entered, Xiang Yuntian saw that she was already there, and naturally knew that she hadn't gone home last night.
Instantly, Xiang Yuntian wondered where she had gone last night.
So Xiang Yuntian tiptoed over, pretending to examine a newly delivered corpse, but in reality, he was distracted, his attention always on Bai Mengfei.
Bai Mengfei pretended to be checking her belongings and even mentally processing various chemical formulas, but because she was distracted, she dared not use any of these chemicals.
Her attention was also on Xiang Yuntian, and she even felt that Xiang Yuntian was about to come over and talk to her.
Xiang Yuntian pretended to be busy for a while, but finally couldn't help himself and came over to ask Bai Mengfei, "Where did you go last night?"
Bai Mengfei remained silent for a moment, then deliberately asked, "What does this have to do with you?"
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually. It's okay if you don't want to tell me."
Xiang Yuntian was also a stubborn person. After saying this, he turned around angrily and pretended to be busy with his own things.
