Chapter 343 Seeking Justice
Chapter 343 Seeking Justice
As Zhen Liang passed by, he couldn't help but glance at Kelly a few more times, but at that moment his mind was full of Ming Jing's affairs and he had no mind to care about anyone else.
He returned to his room and waited until after eight o'clock before going over again and gently knocking on Bai Mengfei's room door.
Bai Mengfei had already woken up. Hearing the knock, she immediately looked up and went to open the door with curiosity. Seeing Zhen Liang standing there, Bai Mengfei said, "Come in!"
"Yes, Forensic Doctor Zhang, are you all ready?" Zhen Liang asked in a low voice.
Bai Mengfei smiled slightly, then turned to look at Xiang Yuntian. Seeing that Xiang Yuntian was ready, she turned back to Zhen Liang and said, "We're almost ready on our side."
"That's great! Let's go investigate the case right away!"
At this moment, Xiang Yuntian walked over, saw Zhen Liang's anxious appearance, and couldn't help but smile, asking, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Because I want to find the murderer as soon as possible and get justice for my girlfriend," Zhen Liang said.
Xiang Yuntian immediately cast a skeptical glance at her and said in a deep voice, "Really? But she's your ex-girlfriend now, not your girlfriend anymore!"
"Whether she's your girlfriend or ex-girlfriend is irrelevant!" Zhen Liang said excitedly. "What matters is that I can help you solve the case, right?"
After saying that, he turned to look at Bai Mengfei, his eyes pleading, as if hoping that Bai Mengfei would agree to his request.
Bai Mengfei wanted to hear Xiang Yuntian's opinion first, so she didn't agree immediately, but instead pondered it silently.
Seeing that Bai Mengfei seemed undecided, Zhen Liang suddenly became anxious and said, "Don't you think the timing of Mingjing's murder and my breakup with her is too coincidental?"
Upon hearing Zhen Liang's words, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian both felt something was amiss.
Bai Mengfei took a step closer to him and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Zhen Liang lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I can't quite explain it, but I always feel that there is some connection between these two things. In any case, I hope you can promise me that I will help you find the murderer and solve the case as soon as possible."
Bai Mengfei felt that Zhen Liang's involvement might really be necessary, so she nodded gently and agreed, "Okay, I'll give you this opportunity. Anyway, we had this plan yesterday."
Bai Mengfei spoke with unwavering conviction. Hearing this, Xiang Yuntian was momentarily speechless, simply blinking at her, unsure what to say.
Although Xiang Yuntian didn't say anything, it was tantamount to tacit approval.
So when they went to the police station in the morning, they had an extra person with them—Zhen Liang. As the three of them passed through the corridor, they saw Kelly sleeping at the bottom of the stairs.
However, none of them woke her up; they simply walked past her silently.
Kelly isn't actually a bad girl; she just has a strong personality.
There were still barely noticeable tear stains on her face after they dried, but no one noticed.
After the three of them went downstairs, they got into Xiang Yuntian's car and drove to the police station.
Before even reaching the police station, Xiang Yuntian became suspicious of Zhen Liang beside him and asked, "Since you broke up with her back then, why are you back now?"
“I never imagined she would be murdered,” Zhen Liang replied.
Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but question, "So what if she was murdered? She's gone now, what's the point of you coming back?"
Bai Mengfei noticed Xiang Yuntian's prejudice against Zhen Liang, slowly turned her head to look at him, and gave him a wink.
Xiang Yuntian understood her meaning, so he stopped talking and chose to remain silent.
Bai Mengfei frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, said to Zhen Liang, "Don't take his words to heart."
“Yes, I won’t.” Zhen Liang sighed and continued, “Besides, what the forensic doctor Xiang said makes sense. If I had treated her better while she was alive and hadn’t broken up with her, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened.”
Seeing the self-reproach and regret on his face, Xiang Yuntian suddenly realized he had wronged him and quickly said, "I'm sorry about what happened just now. It's our line of work to be suspicious of everyone. But if you really aren't the murderer, you should understand that I did this to find the murderer fairly, understand?"
"I understand." Zhen Liang nodded. "Thank you all, you are all good people."
After the three returned to the police station, they were led inside by Bai Mengfei. Gu Ling was there to greet them again.
Gu Ling yawned and greeted them, "Good morning!"
"Are you very free? You look like you have nothing to do all day long," Bai Mengfei said with a wry smile.
Gu Ling rolled his eyes and said, "How could I have nothing to do? If I had nothing to do, do you think I would be at the police station this early? Are you kidding me!"
Bai Mengfei smiled wryly, looking at him with a helpless expression, and asked, "So what exactly do you want?"
"Isn't it all because of you two?" Gu Ling looked helplessly at Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian. "You two are really a handful! My boss told me that I don't have to do anything but keep an eye on you."
Hearing this, Bai Mengfei laughed again and said, "Is it because the police station doesn't keep idle people, and your boss thinks you're too free, so he sent you to assist us in the investigation?"
Gu Ling blushed immediately and stopped talking.
He then returned to his desk, saying as he walked, "By the way, let me tell you about some of our local customs and traditions."
"You have rules here? That's interesting. Tell me about them." Bai Mengfei slowly walked over, hoping to build a good relationship for easier work.
After Gu Ling returned to his seat and lay down, he said, “The people here aren’t very educated, but there are a lot of bosses. You probably saw it when you came; there are a lot of factories nearby. So, many people here have a strong sense of law. If you’re going to investigate, you’d better be polite. When I first came here, I got a real hard time when I went to inspect the scene.”
Bai Mengfei became interested in this matter, pulled over a stool, sat down backwards, and gently hugged the back of the chair with both hands.
