A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

Chapter 419, Group 1

Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Try to discern carefully. If their behavior contradicts their usual personality, then they are suspicious. Aren't you an expert in criminal psychology? You also know how to observe people's expressions. Just pay close attention to their expressions and every move. As for investigating the case, we must act covertly, waiting for the right opportunity, until they reveal a flaw."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian suddenly understood and nodded, asking, "So, who should we start keeping an eye on?"

After considering for a moment, Bai Mengfei decisively said, "Qi Han!"

“Okay!” Xiang Yuntian immediately agreed.

The two waited there until noon before leaving the banana grove and heading to Hu Jiebin's former residence.

They hid outside and secretly observed, only to see Qi Han having a tryst with a strange man inside. The man had dark skin and a burly build, and was clearly a local villager. In terms of demeanor and everything else, he was far inferior to Hu Jiebin and Shen Yang.

How could Qi Han have such poor taste? She actually caused the deaths of her husband and lover, and now she's with a man like that?

Just as Bai Mengfei was filled with doubt, Xiang Yuntian also turned his head in surprise and looked at Bai Mengfei, his eyes full of astonishment.

Both of them understood that Qi Han's behavior was too illogical, and that there must be something wrong with her.

To get more information, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian leaned against the wall, listening intently to the sounds inside the room.

Qi Han asked in a sweet voice, "Are you taking me away tonight?"

The man laughed impatiently, "Of course! I would never lie to a charming little vixen like you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian turned his face away in disgust, his expression full of displeasure. He was extremely averse to such vulgar conversation.

Bai Mengfei frowned and blushed, but continued listening, after all, it was for the purpose of investigating the case.

Qi Han then said, "Oh, don't be in such a hurry! I'll be yours sooner or later. Once you get those treasures, I'll definitely be with you. Then you can do whatever you want!"

Hearing Qi Han's affected and pretentious tone, Bai Mengfei felt disgusted and turned her face away impatiently.

Hearing this, the two roughly deduced that Qi Han and this man had something planned for tonight.

Bai Mengfei gestured for Xiang Yuntian to leave with her first. Xiang Yuntian immediately understood her meaning and quietly left with her.

Back in the banana grove, Xiang Yuntian said to Bai Mengfei, "Should we prepare some weapons when we go there tonight? After all, that man looks very strong."

Bai Mengfei shook her head and said, "No need. We don't know how many people they've recruited. It's best not to confront them directly."

"Hmm." Xiang Yuntian nodded gently, then added, "I never expected Qi Han to be this kind of woman."

"What's so surprising about that?" Bai Mengfei said as she pushed open the door and entered the room. "Aren't there plenty of two-faced people in this world?"

“That’s true.” Xiang Yuntian said, and then followed Bai Mengfei into the house.

Unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes were watching them intently from behind. Those eyes were cold and unfathomable; it belonged to the village chief.

As dusk fell, just as they were preparing to ambush Qi Han's house, a large group of villagers suddenly arrived, carrying wooden sticks wrapped in cloth, lighting torches, and throwing the torches toward the house.

Dozens of torches smashed through windows and roofs and fell into the room, instantly igniting a raging fire.

In an instant, Xiang Yuntian panicked and his first reaction was to turn his head to look at Bai Mengfei.

Bai Mengfei also looked at him and shouted, "Run!" After shouting, she rushed over, kicked open the door, and rushed out.

By this time, the house was surrounded by villagers, who were holding new torches.

The setting sun on the horizon turned red, and the clouds were dyed a crimson hue, as if reflected by the fire, as red as fresh blood.

Seeing so many villagers gathered there, Bai Mengfei stopped in her tracks. Xiang Yuntian rushed out and, seeing this scene, ran forward without thinking and pulled Bai Mengfei behind him.

"What do you want to do?" Xiang Yuntian was not as calm as Bai Mengfei and questioned her sharply.

A group of people, led by the village chief, approached step by step, seemingly about to attack them.

"Do you know that we are the city's forensic officers?" Xiang Yuntian frowned deeply. He knew that there were dozens of people on the other side and was worried that he would not be able to protect Bai Mengfei.

As he and Bai Mengfei retreated, he said to Bai Mengfei, "You run first! Don't worry about me!"

Without hesitation, Bai Mengfei picked up the two torches from the ground and handed one to Xiang Yuntian. Xiang Yuntian looked at her in surprise, not understanding what she was going to do.

Before he could react, Bai Mengfei had already taken a step forward with a torch, waving her arms and adopting a fighting stance.

Seeing Bai Mengfei, a woman, being so assertive, the villagers felt somewhat guilty and stopped in their tracks, exchanging bewildered glances.

"I don't want to waste my breath on you, nor will I try to persuade you to turn back," Bai Mengfei said, scanning the crowd. "If you want to fight, then don't be a coward!"

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's last words, someone actually rushed forward with a torch. Bai Mengfei dodged to the side, using the elasticity of her body to fling the torch away, just like she used to throw a shot put.

Instantly, the torch flew out and hit the man in the face, knocking him to the ground.

The other villagers, seeing this, all showed signs of fear.

Bai Mengfei lowered her head, picked up another stick, and lit it using the torch in Xiang Yuntian's hand. Seeing Bai Mengfei's fearlessness, Xiang Yuntian also gripped his torch and stepped forward.

Although there were only two of them, neither abandoned the other; instead, they both wanted to protect each other. This aura immediately intimidated the villagers, who all retreated.

Seeing this, the village chief shouted, "You don't want the money anymore?"

"Money?" Bai Mengfei raised her head, her eyes sharp. "So you've all been blinded by greed!"

Seeing that everyone was too afraid to step forward, the village chief discussed with Bai Mengfei, "How about this, let's make peace. Once the village tomb is opened, the treasures found will be divided between you two, how about that? After all, every family in our village will get a share."

Bai Mengfei lowered her head, pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Was Teacher Linghu from before also one of your group?"

“Yes.” The village chief nodded slightly. “The reason I betrayed him is because he not only killed people outside, bringing trouble to us, but also killed people here.”
