Chapter 172 Work

"Stop saying you'll give me whatever I want. All you do is throw money at me and satisfy my material needs. Can you give me companionship?"

The woman suddenly stood up and said loudly, "When I'm sick, it's always my male best friends who accompany me to the hospital. They're much better than you. I'd rather laugh on the back of a bicycle than cry in a BMW. What women want is companionship, and it's pointless to talk to a straight man like you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and walked away without looking back, completely ignoring the man.

The man sat for a while longer before paying his bill, looking bored, and leaving the restaurant.

After he left, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but sigh, "It's a good thing you're not like him, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do."

Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly and said, "Actually, the one who went too far was that woman, right? You probably didn't notice, but right after she left, she immediately went off with a sleazy-looking man."

After saying that, Xiang Yuntian saw that Bai Mengfei had finished eating, so he called the waiter to settle the bill.

During their afternoon work, the two of them subconsciously kept their distance from each other, not daring to get too close.

As they were preparing to leave in the evening, Zhao Fei suddenly rushed over and said, "Looks like you'll have to work overtime again. You'll be busy for a while before you can leave. Our colleague just found a female corpse in the suburbs. The identity of the deceased is currently unknown, and we're waiting for you two to handle it."

Xiang Yuntian was very concerned about Bai Mengfei, so he said to Zhao Fei, "Captain Zhao, I can go by myself, why bother her?"

Bai Mengfei slowly shook her head and said, "No, I have nothing to do back home. Let me go with you. You all know my abilities, they're pretty good, right? I believe with my involvement, things will definitely be much easier."

Zhao Fei thought Bai Mengfei's words made sense, so he looked up at Xiang Yuntian with a pleading look in his eyes, wanting to see if Xiang Yuntian had any objections.

Xiang Yuntian remained silent, which could be considered tacit approval.

So late at night, the two of them rode in Zhao Fei's car to the crime scene in the suburbs to examine the female corpse.

As soon as they approached, a policeman said to Xiang Yuntian, "This body was just discovered recently. The female victim had several stab wounds, with the one to her stomach likely being the fatal one. Moreover, all her belongings were missing, including her wallet, so we cannot confirm her identity."

Xiang Yuntian raised his right hand and slightly covered his nose, because he smelled that familiar and pungent stench of corpses.

Therefore, the woman must have been dead for at least two hours to produce such a smell.

After putting on gloves, Xiang Yuntian approached the corpse. He was shocked as soon as he squatted down, because the owner of the corpse in front of him was the woman he had seen at the restaurant during the day, the one who had broken up with her boyfriend.

Therefore, this case is very likely a crime of passion.

Xiang Yuntian turned to look at Bai Mengfei, who was inspecting the scene, but Bai Mengfei did not notice him and did not even turn her head.

He then continued to carefully examine the female corpse with his hands.

However, after a thorough examination, apart from a few obvious signs of livor mortis and the deceased's posture after death, which confirmed it was a homicide, no other strange things were found.

Nothing was found in the female victim's mouth either.

So he stood up and said to the policeman next to him, "Take the body back first. I'll study it tonight and give the autopsy report to Captain Zhao tomorrow."

At this time, Bai Mengfei made several important discoveries, including finding a broken necklace.

It was a gold chain, but Bai Mengfei knew it was fake as soon as she held it in her hand.

Because if it were real gold, it would be much heavier and wouldn't be so light.

Moreover, the style of this chain is the kind that people who play hip-hop and rock music often wear.

Therefore, this is undoubtedly an important clue for solving the case.

In addition, a cigarette butt was found at the scene.

These are cigarette butts from a very common brand on the market. A pack costs around ten yuan, which is considered a mid-to-low-priced cigarette.

In other words, the cigarette butt may have been left by the murderer, who may not have been a wealthy person.

After carefully collecting the physical evidence, Bai Mengfei took it, but instead of handing it to Zhao Fei, she said, "I'll take it back for testing. I'll be working overtime tonight."

She and Xiang Yuntian shared the same idea: they both wanted to alleviate their negative and depressive emotions through work.

Unexpectedly, the two of them had the same idea, so that night, only the two of them stayed at the police station to work.

When Bai Mengfei saw that Xiang Yuntian was still there and examining the body, she was taken aback and went over to ask, "Why are you still here? Why haven't you left yet?"

Xiang Yuntian was slightly taken aback, then said, "Shouldn't I be asking you that? Why didn't you leave either?"

Bai Mengfei was at a loss for words.

Should I tell Xiang Yuntian that I stayed behind to avoid thinking about him, which is why I chose to bury myself in work?

After stammering for a moment, Bai Mengfei finally came up with an excuse and quickly said, "I stayed because the work is important, it's this case. Aren't you the same?"

Xiang Yuntian was naturally too embarrassed to tell the truth, so he mumbled, "Yes, so you were just asking too many questions."

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. What have you found out on your end?" Bai Mengfei said, walking towards the female corpse, cleverly diverting Xiang Yuntian's attention.

In fact, from the moment she arrived at the scene until now, she hadn't touched the female corpse, or even looked at it properly.

Only when she got closer did she realize that the corpse lying on the autopsy table was the same woman she had seen at lunchtime.

Xiang Yuntian was having dinner with her at the time, so she thought that Xiang Yuntian must have seen it too.

So she turned to look at Xiang Yuntian in surprise and asked in a low voice, "Did you notice?"

Xiang Yuntian hummed in agreement and then said, "We discovered it a long time ago. The owner of this body is the woman we met at the restaurant today. I didn't expect that she would be lying here just a few hours later. We all saw her arguing with that man today, so that man is the prime suspect."

"Unlikely, that man looks quite wealthy."

Bai Mengfei frowned, shook her head, and said, "But I found a cigarette butt at the scene. This kind of cigarette is relatively inexpensive on the market. If the cigarette butt was indeed left by the murderer, then the murderer should not be that man."
