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

Chapter 115 The Prison Break

To ease the sudden awkwardness, Xiang Yuntian quickly started ordering barbecue food.

Zheng Xiuxiu warmly introduced herself to him: "My name is Zheng Xiuxiu. I just graduated from university and now I work as a clerk in a company. I just arrived here and plan to settle down here permanently."

"What about you?"

Seeing this woman's posture, as if she wanted to stick tightly to Xiang Yuntian, Bai Mengfei felt embarrassed for her, but she just remained silent.

After all, she knew in her heart that there were many people like that in the world.

Xiang Yuntian responded politely throughout, but Zheng Xiuxiu stayed close to him, constantly asking him all sorts of questions.

Bai Mengfei couldn't stand it any longer, so she coldly said to Jiang Fan sitting next to her, "Come out with me for a moment, I have something to ask you."

Just as Jiang Fan stood up, Zheng Xiuxiu glanced at him sideways, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes.

Jiang Fan immediately sat back down obediently, lowered his head helplessly, picked up a chicken cutlet, and pretended to prepare for grilling.

At the same time, he let out a long, helpless sigh, which Bai Mengfei clearly sensed.

Bai Mengfei really didn't expect things to turn out this way, but she had a gut feeling that there must be an untold story behind it, so she really wanted to find out.

Since Zheng Xiuxiu was so keen on clinging to Xiang Yuntian, after dinner, Bai Mengfei simply asked Xiang Yuntian to take her back to the hotel, thinking that since Zheng Xiuxiu loved to stick to Xiang Yuntian anyway.

After Xiang Yuntian left, Bai Mengfei sat down at the opposite table, her gaze fixed on Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan remained silent, his hands on the table constantly pinching each other.

"Why do you have to do this?" Bai Mengfei asked coldly with concern.

Jiang Fan then revealed the truth: it turned out that all along, this woman had been the one actively pursuing him, but he later discovered that she was actually quite despicable and never told the truth.

The scene between the two on the street just now happened because Zheng Xiuxiu was seen with someone else by him. However, she insisted that they were just ordinary friends, which led to a big argument between them.

"Since it's so painful, why don't you just break up with him?" Bai Mengfei suggested.

Jiang Fan remained silent, seemingly still undecided.

Bai Mengfei, being a woman, understood why he found it so hard to let go, so she said nothing more.

But after a moment of silence, she couldn't help but suggest: "Hesitation leads to trouble; inaction leads to being hampered."

Jiang Fan was taken aback by Bai Mengfei's words and looked up at her in surprise. Everyone understands the principle, but putting it into practice is often far from easy.

The two stayed there for about 20 minutes before getting up and leaving.

As the rain outside intensified, Jiang Fan escorted Bai Mengfei home before leaving in a taxi.

Xiang Yuntian had already returned after dropping Zheng Xiuxiu off. Seeing that Bai Mengfei had been delayed for so long, he didn't ask any questions. He simply took out a towel and gently dried Bai Mengfei's hair.

This gentle gesture, full of doting affection, warmed Bai Mengfei's heart.

"Don't you want to ask why it took me so long to come back?" Bai Mengfei cared a lot about Xiang Yuntian's thoughts and feelings.

Xiang Yuntian simply smiled and said, "I believe you."

Although Bai Mengfei felt happy to be trusted, she also wanted to be a mature and responsible person, so she explained the situation to Xiang Yuntian.

Upon learning the truth, Xiang Yuntian was filled with incomprehension.

"Is Jiang Fan stupid? That Zheng Xiuxiu, she's obviously not a good woman."

Bai Mengfei simply said, "Yes, men and women in love tend to be a bit silly, which is why I've never really wanted to be in a relationship."

Xiang Yuntian remained silent about this, because he never gave up and longed to be with Bai Mengfei forever, to grow old together.

Just then, a news report came on TV that Fan Nianzhen had escaped from prison.

Because the case was relevant to both of them, they both turned around and watched the television intently.

After watching for a while, Bai Mengfei secretly clenched her sleeves without making a sound.

Xiang Yuntian noticed Bai Mengfei's unusual behavior, turned to look at her, and asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Bai Mengfei shook her head secretly, pretending to be nonchalant, but she had a feeling in her heart.

Fan Nianzhen will probably come back to seek revenge.

After all, when Fan Nianzhen got into the police car, the way he looked at her seemed like he wanted to devour her alive. She was sure she wasn't mistaken.

After thinking for a while, Bai Mengfei felt relieved for the time being.

However, another related news report was broadcast in the evening, stating that someone had been murdered.

The deceased was a woman who was murdered in a hotel. Police have found traces of fugitive Fan Nianzhen at the scene, indicating that he had passed through that area.

Xiang Yuntian was extremely focused when reading this news.

Bai Mengfei found it strange, so she gently nudged Xiang Yuntian's arm with her elbow and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiang Yuntian then came to his senses, turned to look at Bai Mengfei, and said, "Zheng Xiuxiu is staying at that hotel."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his phone buzzing in his pocket.

He quickly took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Zhao Fei.

"Another female corpse has been found." Zhao Fei said this to Xiang Yuntian with a heavy sigh.

Xiang Yuntian immediately sensed that Zhao Fei was under tremendous psychological pressure.

Xiang Yuntian immediately responded with an "Mm," and added something to reassure Zhao Fei: "I've seen the news. I don't find anything particularly strange. It's just that a woman was murdered in a hotel. It's possible that Fan Nianzhen did it."

"Not quite like it."

But Zhao Fei said, "Although we found that Fan Nianzhen passed through the area where the crime occurred, it would be too hasty to conclude that she is the murderer based on this alone."

"Based on my personal experience in handling cases, Fan Nianzhen was starving at the time, so why would she go to a hotel to kill a woman? Moreover, the hotel's surveillance footage did not show Fan Nianzhen entering the hotel."

Xiang Yuntian felt that something was amiss, and he couldn't figure it out for the time being.

So he turned on his phone's speaker so that Bai Mengfei could also hear what Zhao Fei was saying.

After listening to Xiang Yuntian's general description, Bai Mengfei's face darkened, and she frowned, saying, "We still need to examine the female corpse to find some clues."

Not only Xiang Yuntian heard this, but Zhao Fei on the other end of the phone also heard it.

“We recently had a new male forensic doctor come here and he has already examined the body. He found that the deceased died from a fractured spine, which was probably caused by hitting the table.”

Zhao Fei immediately said, "Judging from the marks on the body, it does indeed resemble the case Fan Nianzhen committed before. However, Fan Nianzhen's case was manslaughter, not premeditated murder. So think about it, the same thing happening to her twice, isn't that too much of a coincidence?"
