Chapter 461 Reporter
Zhao Fei chuckled and said with a fawning expression, "You're really smart; nothing can be hidden from you."
Bai Mengfei smiled politely and, before Zhao Fei could speak, said, "Okay, I agree."
Zhao Fei's face immediately turned suspicious, his eyes widening in surprise: "No way? You agreed before I even heard what I was going to say?"
“That’s right.” Bai Mengfei said confidently, “Because I already have a general idea of what’s going on. Anyway, you’ll still be in charge of this case, since you’re my superior. If anything goes wrong, I’ll take responsibility; if there’s any credit, it’ll be yours. Is that alright?”
Seeing that Bai Mengfei spoke earnestly and sincerely, Zhao Fei believed her and nodded secretly, saying with a smile, "You are truly intelligent."
Just then, Wang Tian happened to pass by.
Zhao Fei immediately put on a serious expression and said to Bai Mengfei, "By the way, find some time to go and check on that body in the morgue."
"Okay," Bai Mengfei replied, then turned and walked towards the morgue.
Xiang Yuntian saw Bai Mengfei set off from a short distance away and hurriedly followed after her.
After the two arrived at the morgue, Xiang Yuntian finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "What did Captain Zhao just say to you?"
Bai Mengfei thought to herself that if she told Xiang Yuntian about it, he would definitely think that Zhao Fei was a dishonest person. So, while putting on her protective suit, she smiled to herself and said, "It's nothing important."
"Really not?" Xiang Yuntian was still somewhat skeptical and asked suspiciously.
Bai Mengfei nodded firmly, not wanting to explain any further, and walked straight towards Han Xue's body.
Upon reaching Han Xue's body, Bai Mengfei began a thorough examination. The examination revealed that, aside from the fact that the murderer had taken something from the victim, the modus operandi was completely different from that of the serial killer.
Seeing Bai Mengfei intently examining the corpse, Xiang Yuntian stepped forward and asked softly, "What did you find?"
“I think the murderer’s method this time was very simple and brutal. So I suspect…” As she spoke, Bai Mengfei slowly turned her head to look at Xiang Yuntian beside her.
Xiang Yuntian frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "So you suspect that this wasn't done by the murderer?"
"Yes." Bai Mengfei's expression was serious.
Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment, then said, "Actually, I had the same feeling last night. Because the murderer had set up many traps in the mall, waiting for us to take the bait. How could he possibly be in two places at the same time?"
Bai Mengfei nodded secretly, then said, "That's right, so I suspect there might be more than one murderer now."
"So how many do you think there will be?"
"It's hard to say, but there are at least two."
As soon as Bai Mengfei finished speaking, the morgue door creaked open. A young policeman rushed in and said to the two of them, "Forensic doctors, there are many reporters outside who want to interview you."
"A reporter?" Bai Mengfei frowned slightly, pondering for a moment. "What reporter?"
"They're all here to interview about Miao Xiaoxiao and Han Xue's case. They want to ask the police for their opinion on the matter and some follow-up questions. Captain Zhao is already overwhelmed over there, so he asked me to invite the two of you over."
Bai Mengfei thought that it was Captain Zhao who had sent her over, so she turned to look at Xiang Yuntian.
Xiang Yuntian immediately understood, nodded, and said, "Okay, we'll go over now."
The two took off their protective suits and went outside, where they were greeted by a barrage of camera flashes and a barrage of questions from reporters.
"Please wait a moment, everyone. Please ask your questions one at a time," Xiang Yuntian said loudly.
Immediately afterwards, many reporters raised their hands, wanting to ask questions.
Xiang Yuntian casually pointed to a reporter and said, "You come here, I'll answer your questions."
The reporter immediately asked, "Forensic Doctor Xiang, does your police have any new insights into this case? Or has there been no progress?"
Xiang Yuntian truthfully announced the autopsy results, saying, "Currently, our police suspect that Han Xue's case may not be the work of the serial killer."
The reporter then followed up with, "So, does that mean the perpetrator in this case might be someone else? In other words, could these be two different cases?"
"That possibility cannot be ruled out," Xiang Yuntian replied.
At this moment, Xiang Yuntian saw another reporter raising his hand high, so he looked at her and said, "Go ahead and ask."
The reporter immediately asked, "But it's said that the two deceased were in the same tour group, and that the tour group included you and the forensic doctor Zhang who was with you. According to the inside story, only the two of you forensic doctors were left in the entire tour group; everyone else was murdered."
Hearing this, Bai Mengfei sensed a hint of suspicion and couldn't help but say, "So what exactly are you trying to say? Please just ask."
The reporter asked without hesitation, "Are you two suspects in the crime?"
The moment those words were spoken, the room fell silent.
Xiang Yuntian was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Of course, we may be suspected, but we know that we are innocent."
"Then what evidence do you have to prove your innocence? Why was everyone in the tour group killed, but you two were the only ones unharmed?" the reporter pressed on relentlessly.
Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath and turned to look at Bai Mengfei beside him. At this moment, he didn't know how to answer, so he could only look at her with pleading eyes.
Bai Mengfei, however, remained calm and composed, gracefully retorting, "Then what evidence do you have to prove that we committed the murder? Arresting someone requires evidence. Think about it from another perspective: if I told you today that you committed this crime, but asked you to produce evidence to prove your innocence, how would you feel?"
The reporter pondered for a moment, then found himself speechless.
Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Bai Mengfei continued, "Furthermore, everyone might want to consider what our motives might be. Therefore, I hope everyone will refrain from making unfounded speculations and misleading the public. Well, that concludes today's interview. If you have any further questions, please call our service hotline to contact the service desk. If you have any personal complaints against me, please write to the complaints department. If you don't know their email address, you can search for it online."
After speaking, Bai Mengfei turned around coldly and walked away. Xiang Yuntian hurriedly followed.
The reporters watched the two figures disappear into the distance, but none of them uttered a sound.
After walking for a while, Xiang Yuntian finally caught up with Bai Mengfei and said gratefully, "Thanks to you just now, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to deal with it."
