Chapter 435 Special Methods
Mu Zhen looked back at Xu Zu for a while, a hint of nervousness in his eyes, and asked cautiously, "So what should we do now?"
"Of course we have to go and explain!" Wang Dou said urgently. "They've misunderstood the three of us, they think we're bad guys, and they might even suspect us of being murderers! So this misunderstanding must be cleared up, it can't wait!"
"But I lied to them all before!" Mu Zhen lowered her head slightly, her face full of guilt.
Xu Zu had a sudden inspiration and quickly came up with a solution. He hurriedly said, "It's alright, don't worry. We'll go help them paint the wall later and explain things to them. You admitted it out of good intentions, I believe they will understand you."
Mu Zhen listened and then slowly nodded.
Then, just as Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian were enjoying lunch, the three of them, like buzzing flies, swarmed to their door again and kept ringing the doorbell.
Wang Tian was the first to open the door. As soon as she saw the three of them, she slammed the door shut without thinking.
Seeing Wang Tian's unusual reaction, Bai Mengfei was filled with doubt, so she went forward and opened the door. Seeing the three of them and noticing the painting tools in their hands, she let them in and asked with a smile, "Are you three here to help us with the renovations?"
“That’s right!” Xu Zu walked in with a smile, carrying an iron bucket. He explained, “Actually, what happened this morning was a complete misunderstanding. Mu Zhen didn’t do it at all. He only admitted it because he didn’t want you to worry.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Tian immediately stepped forward and asked with sharp eyes, "Then why are you here to clarify this matter now?"
"Because we later realized the seriousness of the problem!" Xu Zu said with a serious expression. "Since someone else did this, and that person even wrote such terrifying four words on the wall, it's obvious that person had ulterior motives. So, after thinking it over, we decided to come and tell you the truth, lest you lower your guard because of Mu Zhen's kind confession."
Not wanting the atmosphere to become too awkward, Bai Mengfei nodded and said understandingly, "You did the right thing. You should indeed be realistic and come over to remind us."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zu immediately smiled, picked up the paintbrush, and walked to the wall.
Wang Dou and Mu Zhen also hurriedly followed to help.
While the three were painting the wall, Xu Zu said, "When we came here yesterday, these words weren't on the wall yet. It looks like that person must have sneaked in at night to write them. So, it's really dangerous for you two girls to live here."
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei quickly asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Without hesitation, Xu Zu said, "Why don't you move in with us? That way we can look after each other and it will be safer."
Wang Tian couldn't help but sneer and said sarcastically, "Ha, wishful thinking! It's not that easy."
Bai Mengfei politely declined, saying, "Isn't your house a bit small? It might not be convenient for us to stay there."
Wang Dou quickly stopped painting the wall and explained earnestly, "It's not small! We have three bedrooms, two living rooms, and a bathroom. You two girls like to rest together, so the three of us will clear out one room, and one of us will sleep in the living room. That way, there won't be any problem. Plus, this way, someone can keep watch in the living room at night to ensure your safety."
After listening to Wang Dou's words, Bai Mengfei suddenly felt that the chubby boy's suggestion was quite good. Besides the two benefits he mentioned, there was actually a third benefit: it would make it easier for her to understand the situation of the three of them, which might help in solving the case.
Bai Mengfei nodded in approval, saying, "That's a good idea!"
Wang Tian frowned and said, "If you want to live with them, then go live with them. I don't want to. What kind of image would it be if three men and two women lived together? If word got out, how would I ever get married?"
"I'll be with you, what are you afraid of?" Bai Mengfei patiently persuaded her.
Wang Tian stubbornly said, "Forget it, I can't reason with you. If you want to go, then go with them. I'll stay here."
Bai Mengfei was still worried about Wang Tian's safety, so she walked over to her, pulled her aside, and said seriously, "Actually, last night, I smelled datura. You know datura, right? Its smell is poisonous and can affect a person's nervous system. In severe cases, it can even cause terrifying hallucinations."
Wang Tian knew that Bai Mengfei, as a forensic doctor, had very strong identification skills, so she began to seriously consider Wang Dou and the others' suggestion, thinking that it might be safer to move there with Bai Mengfei.
After careful consideration from many aspects, she finally nodded slowly and agreed to Bai Mengfei's request.
Then, Wang Dou and the others simply put down their painting tools and started helping the two girls pack their luggage.
Around 3 PM, the two of them officially moved into the apartment rented by the three boys. During this time, Bai Mengfei took the opportunity of "playing on her phone" to report everything to Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei was already fully aware of these circumstances and expressed his support, while repeatedly reminding her to be careful and not to take things lightly.
After checking in, Mu Zhen was the one who vacated the room among the three of them.
Who can blame them when Mu Zhen has always been a kind-hearted and helpful person?
However, Mu Zhen didn't mind for the sake of the bigger picture. But considering their long-term life together, she said, "But this isn't a long-term solution. So you should look at other houses as soon as possible. I don't mean to kick you out, I just hope you can settle down comfortably and live a better life."
He seemed to have difficulty expressing himself and appeared somewhat clumsy when he spoke.
However, Bai Mengfei understood that he meant well, so she nodded and smiled slightly, saying, "We will, thank you for your concern."
After they were completely settled, since the two girls were not very familiar with the three boys, they returned to their room early, before it was completely dark, and locked the door tightly.
As soon as she locked the door, the first thing Wang Tian did was to carefully check the room to see if there were any hidden pin-shaped cameras or listening devices.
Bai Mengfei, not knowing what she was looking for, asked in confusion.
"Let's see if anyone's secretly filming us. It's better to be careful. Can you help me look for them too?" Wang Tian said.
Bai Mengfei thought it was right to be cautious, so she helped her search.
After a while, the two searched the room inside and out, but found nothing.
Wang Tian breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa against the wall. She looked at Bai Mengfei and said, "Alright, no need to look anymore. By the way, be careful when you use the bathroom. There's a bugging device and a pinhole camera installed there, right next to the water heater and the trash can."
"Huh? You did it?" Bai Mengfei asked in surprise.
Wang Tian nodded without hesitation and replied casually, "Yes! Captain Zhao instructed me to do it. He said that with so many lives lost in this major case, we had to take extraordinary measures in this extraordinary time, and that he would take responsibility if anything went wrong."
"Oh!" Bai Mengfei responded softly, then didn't say anything more, but thought to herself, "It seems that in this battle between justice and evil, we really can't be too conventional and follow the rules step by step. After all, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, which puts us at a great disadvantage. Sometimes we really need to take some special measures."
