Chapter 39 Serial Cases
"Hey, are you feeling any better?"
Seeing that Bai Mengfei was still secretly laughing, Xiang Yuntian, despite vomiting as if his internal organs were about to come out, still managed to force out a smile.
He slowly shook his head: "I'm fine, uh... much better now."
"That's fine then." Bai Mengfei secretly rolled her eyes. "I told you before, if you can't handle it, don't force yourself. What, are you still planning to ride the giant swing with me?"
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yuntian wiped his mouth with a tissue and then responded decisively.
"Of course I'll sit!"
This is practically a determination to go with her!
Bai Mengfei couldn't help but be moved.
She wanted to see if Xiang Yuntian was really that determined. Although she was a little scared, she still decided to sit down and see.
So the two of them went to the seats on the giant swing ride. After fastening their seatbelts, Xiang Yuntian kept taking deep breaths.
His panicked look was absolutely adorable.
Bai Mengfei watched him with great interest, while he kept his head down, wishing he could disappear into the ground.
Even after it was over, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but chuckle as she recalled the scene.
Hey, what are you laughing at?
Xiang Yuntian stayed with her and asked from the side.
"No...no, I didn't laugh." Actually, Bai Mengfei almost laughed herself to death: "By the way, you looked so cute just now. It felt like you were about to bury your head in your chest."
Xiang Yuntian probably realized his awkward situation just now, and shrugged helplessly, saying with a slightly aggrieved tone, "What's the big deal? Let me tell you, although I used to live abroad, I really rarely did these things."
"You've never even played it before, have you?"
“I went once with Jiang Shuai. But that one time, I realized that I really couldn’t do it.”
"Um... so I never went there again after that."
Hearing Xiang Yuntian say that, Bai Mengfei laughed even harder: "I'm dying of laughter, I didn't expect you to go with a man."
Xiang Yuntian realized that Bai Mengfei was teasing him, so he stopped, raised his right hand, gently touched Bai Mengfei's hair, and playfully wrinkled his nose, saying affectionately, "Silly girl, what are you thinking about?"
Bai Mengfei smiled faintly and gently pushed his hand away.
She didn't dislike this behavior, she was just a little unaccustomed to it.
"Alright, it's getting late, shall we head back?"
Bai Mengfei's attitude returned to a slightly cold tone, but a smile still lingered on her lips: "And you still need to go see Dr. Xu."
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei mention Xu Sanmin, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
After all, when a man likes a girl, he will more or less have a possessive desire and care a lot about his status in the girl's heart.
However, Xiang Yuntian was mature and composed, and did not show the slightest displeasure. Instead, he nodded to himself and said with a smile, "Alright, let's go get something to eat first."
In the evening, the two went to a restaurant for dinner.
Xiang Yuntian ordered Bai Mengfei's favorite dishes as usual. From details like Xiang Yuntian pulling out a chair for her, Bai Mengfei could truly feel that Xiang Yuntian was indeed very attentive to her.
But even so, what does it matter?
Bai Mengfei was well aware of her situation; the time she had now was like an extra gift from heaven.
She didn't know when Heaven would take back this blessing and take her away from Xiang Yuntian.
Therefore, she dared not reveal her feelings for Xiang Yuntian, fearing that if she suddenly left one day, Xiang Yuntian would find it difficult to bear.
After dinner, the two did not go home directly, but went straight to Xu Sanmin's place.
Because they had already discussed it over the phone, Xu Sanmin was waiting for them outside early on.
Because of today's case, Xiang Yuntian had become suspicious of Xu Sanmin, so when he saw him, a hint of suspicion unconsciously showed in Xiang Yuntian's eyes.
Xu Sanmin, however, still had a smile on his face, looking like a kind old man.
Seeing Xiang Yuntian approaching, Xu Sanmin quickly stepped forward and asked, "You've finally arrived?"
Bai Mengfei had a good impression of Xu Sanmin, so she nodded to him and said with a soft smile, "Yes! I've kept Dr. Xu waiting."
The three then returned to the hypnosis room.
Under Xu Sanmin's hypnotic guidance, Xiang Yuntian quickly entered a hypnotic state.
In a daze, he was successfully hypnotized by Xu Sanmin and answered almost every question Xu Sanmin asked.
Fortunately, Bai Mengfei stayed by his side the whole time.
The hypnosis lasted for a while, then Xu Sanmin snapped his fingers, and Xiang Yuntian slowly woke up.
He sat up and then inexplicably began coughing violently, as if he had choked on water. Even Bai Mengfei was quite surprised to see this.
So Bai Mengfei quickly walked to his side and gently took one of his arms in her hands.
"Are you alright?" Bai Mengfei asked gently, a rare occurrence for her.
Xiang Yuntian slowly shook his head; his mind was completely blank.
He tried to recall, but remained silent, his face expressionless.
Bai Mengfei noticed his unusual behavior, her brows furrowed as she stared intently at his face. In truth, Bai Mengfei was quite worried about Xiang Yuntian at that moment, given his unusual reaction just now.
It seemed that something extremely terrible was hidden deep in his heart.
Only after saying goodbye to Xu Sanmin and stepping outside did Bai Mengfei ask Xiang Yuntian, "Do you still remember what was said during the hypnosis session?"
Upon Bai Mengfei's question, Xiang Yuntian tried his best to recall. However, those memories were like fragmented and chaotic puzzle pieces, impossible to piece together.
"I only vaguely remember that we went to investigate the case during the day today, and I can't remember anything else." Xiang Yuntian slowly shook his head.
Seeing that Xiang Yuntian seemed genuinely unable to recall the events, Bai Mengfei didn't want to press him, so she nodded silently and said to him, "Alright, it's nothing. Let's get in the car and go home first."
"Okay." Xiang Yuntian responded and returned to the car with Bai Mengfei.
After returning home, Bai Mengfei's gaze never left Xiang Yuntian.
Because Xiang Yuntian's reaction after being hypnotized was really too strange. Look at his eyes, they became dull and lifeless, and he seemed to have lost his soul.
Taking advantage of his inattention, Bai Mengfei tried calling his name a few times. But he didn't respond at all and went straight back to his room, looking as if he was extremely exhausted.
what on earth is it?
At this point, even Bai Mengfei couldn't help but begin to doubt Dr. Xu.
Given Xiang Yuntian's poor condition, Bai Mengfei did not disturb him.
She silently returned to her room, took a shower, but couldn't fall asleep. She leaned against the bed, pondering the case from that day.
In the dead of night, she carefully recalled every detail of the day.
At this moment, her intuition told her that everything that had happened recently seemed to be part of a serial murder case.
This murderer is very cunning; we must find a way to make him reveal a weakness.
