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

Chapter 356 Others

Despite her outstanding looks, Xiaoyun felt uneasy about the aura surrounding Kelly.

So she actually intentionally kept a certain distance from Kelly, and even felt some aversion towards Kelly.

Indeed, Kelly is someone who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals, and she is quite cunning.

Therefore, Xiaoyun's judgment, made with her innocent heart, was absolutely correct.

After everyone returned to Xiao Dong's house, they waited in the living room for the thugs to call Bai Mengfei again.

While Xiaoyun was busy cutting fruit for everyone, she noticed something was off and quietly asked Bai Mengfei, "What are you waiting for? I have a feeling something's up."

"It is something related to work, but it has nothing to do with you or your brother," Bai Mengfei said truthfully.

Xiaoyun still felt uneasy because she sensed that her brother was also involved. In fact, Xiaodong was indeed implicated, and was the prime suspect.

Even his boss Zhu Heng, who was very familiar with him, suspected that he might be the perpetrator, because too many suspicious points pointed to him.

For example, the murderer was very familiar with the police procedures; for example, Xiao Dong happened to be away when the murderer made the phone call;

For example, his reaction was somewhat unusual when he heard that Zhen Liang had been kidnapped; he also had financial needs and was familiar with the Zhen family's financial situation; most importantly, the kidnappers never called again after he was detained.

Is all of this really just a coincidence?

The group spent the entire night without receiving a call from the perpetrators.

So the next morning, after seeing Xiaoyun off, they returned to the police station, where Bai Mengfei accompanied Zhu Heng to interrogate Xiaodong.

I didn't sleep well last night. Xiao Dong has obvious bags under his eyes and dark circles.

"Chief, did you catch the criminals yesterday?" This was the first thing Xiao Dong said.

Zhu Heng glared at him angrily and demanded, "How long are you going to keep up this act? Xiao Dong, you've always been unruly and disrespectful in the police station, and I've never held it against you because we've known each other for so many years! But now, you've actually done something like this!"

After hearing Zhu Heng's words, Xiao Dong was taken aback at first, then he understood and asked, "Chief, do you still suspect that I did this?"

"There's a limit to nonsense!" Zhu Heng slammed his hand on the table, making a loud "bang" that startled even Bai Mengfei. "Do you know that if you anger my brother-in-law to the point of heart disease, it could be fatal!"

"Chief, I didn't! I really didn't do it!" Xiao Dong explained in a panic. "Chief, you have to believe me!"

In the end, he even reached out to grab Zhu Heng's hand, but Zhu Heng shook him off.

In an instant, he did something that Bai Mengfei never expected: he knelt down in front of Zhu Heng with a thud.

He knelt before Zhu Heng, tears welling in his eyes, and said, "Chief, you and Mr. Zhen helped me so much before, saving my only sister. How could I possibly do something so despicable? I beg you, believe me! Believe me!"

As he finished speaking, tears streamed down his face.

Zhu Heng still didn't believe him. Based on his years of experience in solving cases, Zhu Heng felt that it was impossible for there to be so many coincidences.

Because he didn't believe him, Zhu Heng stood up and advised, "If you repent now and release Zhen Liang, I can plead with my brother-in-law to not prosecute you. Otherwise, if anything happens to my sister's family, I will never let you off the hook."

"But it really wasn't me!" Xiao Dong collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

Although Bai Mengfei was not a psychology expert, seeing Xiao Dong's distraught state and considering his past behavior, she felt that he might not have actually done it.

So she pleaded for Xiao Dong, saying, "Chief, although the current details and all the evidence seem to point to Xiao Dong as the forensic doctor, which is extremely unfavorable to him, this evidence is not sufficient. Therefore, I believe that we cannot conclude that he did it based solely on this."

"But do you think it's such a coincidence? The moment he was detained, the criminals stopped making phone calls!" Zhu Heng said angrily.

Just then, Xiang Yuntian, who had been observing in front of the closed-circuit television, couldn't contain himself and rushed in. The door was pushed open so forcefully that it startled Bai Mengfei and the other two.

The three of them immediately turned around to look.

“I think I know what’s going on,” Xiang Yuntian said to Zhu Heng. “I don’t think it’s a coincidence, but there might be another reason.”

Seeing that Xiang Yuntian had also come to defend him, Xiao Dong immediately gave him a grateful look.

Zhu Heng was focused on solving the case, finding the murderer as soon as possible, and rescuing Zhen Liang, so he didn't dwell on the detail that Zhen Liang hadn't knocked and asked, "Then what do you think the reason is?"

Xiang Yuntian lowered his head, thought for a while, and then said, "It's possible that there's a problem with the police station's surveillance. Of course, this is just one possibility. Or, there might be other moles within the police station."

Zhu Heng thought it made sense, so he stopped questioning Xiao Dong, but still had the police officers detain Xiao Dong.

Throughout the morning, with Kelly's assistance, they checked almost all of the police station's surveillance equipment.

The investigation revealed that there was no problem with the hardware; the issue lay with the software.

“A hacker broke into the ports here and was able to see the surveillance footage,” Kelly said, her fingers flying across the keyboard. “This hacker’s methods are somewhat similar to the hacking of the downtown Criminal Investigation Department?”

Upon hearing Kelly's words, Xiang Yuntian immediately asked, "Could it be the same hacker who did it?"

“That’s hard to say,” Kelly replied.

At this moment, Zhu Heng only wanted to know the criminal's movements, so he asked, "Can you use this to determine the murderer's current location or other information?"

"No, there's only one port on the internet. Although I can narrow down the scope, I can't access the port he's using yet, so I can't deal with him."

Even Kelly found it difficult, and Zhu Heng suddenly felt somewhat desperate.

After a few seconds of silence, Kelly said again, "But if you give me 48 hours, I should be able to find him and bring him to justice!"

"Two days?" Zhu Heng looked disappointed.

Just then, Bai Mengfei's phone rang; it was another call from an unknown number.

Upon seeing the long phone number, Bai Mengfei held the phone up to Zhu Heng. Zhu Heng frowned and whispered, "Answer it quickly!"

Bai Mengfei pressed the answer button and said, "We have prepared the twenty million you asked for. Now can we arrange a time and place to hand over the person?"
