Chapter 269 Monitoring
Seeing that Xiang Yuntian had become unusually silent, Bai Mengfei decisively opened the car door and got out.
Standing outside the car, looking at the hotel building in front of her, Bai Mengfei stepped inside without hesitation.
Xiang Yuntian was worried that Bai Mengfei might encounter danger if she acted alone, so he hurriedly followed her.
After entering the hotel, the two began to search for Zheng Yueru separately.
Bai Mengfei headed towards the stairs on the right. On the third floor, she saw Zheng Yueru. To avoid being discovered by Zheng Yueru, she quickly hid back on the stairs.
What is Zheng Yueru doing right now?
She stood in the doorway of a room and said to a man in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Of course I miss you!"
After saying that, she followed the man into the room and quickly closed the door.
Anyone else might have given up, but Bai Mengfei came up with a plan: she would enter the room through the air vent and eavesdrop on their conversation.
After climbing up to the top of the air conditioning vent, Bai Mengfei lay there and listened carefully.
Suddenly, Zheng Yueru's tone turned cold as she said, "What kind of work are you doing? I asked you to do such a small thing, and you couldn't even do it properly, leaving me with this mess to clean up."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," the man said.
Judging from his tone, the man seemed to be very afraid of Zheng Yueru.
What exactly is their relationship? What untold secrets are hidden behind this case?
Bai Mengfei couldn't figure out these questions for a while.
So she concentrated and listened more attentively. After a while, Bai Mengfei heard a crucial clue.
All I heard Zheng Yueru say was, "Next time you kill someone, make sure it's done cleanly, understand?"
"I understand, Miss Zheng. I promise I won't be so careless next time. Please believe me!" the man said.
Zheng Yueru then said, "Get out! Be careful when you leave, don't let anyone see you!"
When Bai Mengfei saw Zheng Yueru suddenly looking in her direction, she quickly lowered her head and raised her right hand to gently cover her mouth, not daring to breathe.
After the man left, Zheng Yueru waited for several more minutes before leaving the room.
Seeing Zheng Yueru leave, Bai Mengfei finally breathed a sigh of relief and then slowly retreated through the narrow passage.
Just as she completely stepped back, Bai Mengfei bumped into Xiang Yuntian. At first, not recognizing who it was, Bai Mengfei only felt as if she had bumped into someone, which startled her.
When Bai Mengfei realized that the person she had bumped into was Xiang Yuntian, she breathed a sigh of relief, frowned at him, and said, "You scared me to death, you know?"
Xiang Yuntian quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, but why did you come down from up there? What happened?"
"I'm telling you!" Bai Mengfei originally wanted to tell Xiang Yuntian right there, but suddenly felt that it was not convenient to do so here, so she pulled him to a corner and whispered, "I just overheard Zheng Yueru talking to a man."
"What did he say?" Xiang Yuntian asked, puzzled.
Bai Mengfei frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I heard them talking about murder. It seems that Zheng Yueru asked that man to commit the murder."
"Did you get a clear look at the man's face? Or recognize his voice and who he is?" Xiang Yuntian asked.
Bai Mengfei shook her head and said, "No!" Then she quickly added, "But we can check the surveillance footage, that way we can find out who that man is!"
“Yes!” Xiang Yuntian agreed.
The two then went to the security room to check the surveillance footage.
However, upon inspection, it was discovered that the relevant segments appeared to have been deleted.
Left with no other option, Xiang Yuntian had to call Jiang Shuai for help.
Jiang Shuai rushed over when he heard his brother was in trouble, but even so, he was powerless to help. He said, "These surveillance cameras were damaged before, and they were probably repaired sometime after that period, which is why they're in this situation now. Do you understand?"
Although she only vaguely understood, Bai Mengfei nodded slightly and said, "I think I understand."
"Yes, I understand." Jiang Shuai said with a smile.
Xiang Yuntian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "But I don't understand. I only heard you say that you can't do anything about it, is that what you mean?"
Jiang Shuai felt somewhat embarrassed when Xiang Yuntian so bluntly exposed him.
But that's the truth. Jiang Shuai could only shrug and say with a wry smile, "Okay, indeed, I'm out of options."
"So what should we do now?" Xiang Yuntian asked instinctively.
This statement was less a question to Jiang Shuai and more like a monologue.
Jiang Shuai immediately replied, "Don't ask me that. Even if you did, I wouldn't know."
“Alright.” Xiang Yuntian nodded silently, then naturally turned his head to look at Bai Mengfei standing to the side.
Bai Mengfei smiled slightly and said, "I have a plan. We can actually start with Li Tie. Tonight's surveillance was not a waste of effort!"
"What do you mean?" Xiang Yuntian asked excitedly.
Bai Mengfei lowered her head, habitually crossed her arms, and said seriously, "Li Tie is not the murderer. I can confirm that based on what I saw tonight. I think the murderer is most likely Zheng Yueru, and the person she spoke to tonight was a hitman she hired. Moreover, there is an even more important piece of information."
Before Bai Mengfei could finish speaking, the impatient Jiang Shuai asked eagerly, "What is it?"
Bai Mengfei slowly raised her head, looked at him, and said, "The murderer will continue to commit crimes, and it is under the instruction of Zheng Yueru."
"So you forensic doctors want to investigate this matter?" Jiang Shuai said with a wry smile, "Come on, even if you want to investigate, you'll have to wait until someone is murdered, right? Sigh! As for investigating before someone is murdered, that's the police's job, and it depends on whether the police are willing to do it. If the police don't take action, then there's nothing we can do."
Xiang Yuntian listened to Jiang Shuai's words and felt that they made a lot of sense, and his expression became more and more solemn.
Although he knew many police officers and had a good relationship with them, even Xu Shan would not agree to launch an investigation before another case occurred, let alone the other police officers.
Seeing Xiang Yuntian's worried expression, Bai Mengfei gently patted his arm and said, "Don't overthink it. Sometimes, you don't have to follow the rules when doing things."
