Chapter 266 Threat at the Door
Chapter 266 Threat at the Door
His voice was slightly low as he spoke, as if he were talking to himself.
Bai Mengfei mistakenly thought he was asking her, so she gently shook her head and said, "Actually, I don't understand it either, so this matter has been bothering me and making me feel upset these past few days."
As they spoke, the two got out of the car and walked towards the house.
As Xiang Yuntian walked, he frowned and asked, "Do you think that matter is related to this case?"
Bai Mengfei shook her head secretly and said, "I don't know, but I don't think so. Anyway, I hope not, otherwise if that woman comes looking for me again, I might really not be able to resist beating her up."
Xiang Yuntian chuckled to himself, thinking Bai Mengfei was just joking, but he didn't realize she was serious.
After the two returned to their room, while Xiang Yuntian went to take a shower, Bai Mengfei waited and waited, and unknowingly fell asleep.
In her dream, she returned to the crime scene and witnessed the entire process of Li Tie killing Fangfang.
The scene in her dream startled her awake. When she woke up, she realized that she hadn't slept for long; only a few tens of minutes had passed since she fell asleep.
She still remembers the details of her dream clearly, but the clearer she remembers it, the more flustered and bewildered she feels.
Seeing her so panicked, Xiang Yuntian, who had finished washing up, quickly walked over, sat down beside her, and gently asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Bai Mengfei found the dream very strange, so she nodded slightly and said to Xiang Yuntian, "Yes, and I dreamed about the crime scene. I dreamed that before the crime happened, many people were arguing with Fangfang. No one helped Fangfang, and Li Tie even pushed Fangfang's head."
"And then?" Xiang Yuntian pressed.
Bai Mengfei frowned, thought seriously for a while, and then continued, "Also, Li Tie killed Fangfang."
"It's just a dream," Xiang Yuntian said softly, seeing how frightened Bai Mengfei was.
Bai Mengfei frowned deeply and said intuitively, "But this is very likely more than just a dream."
Seeing her insistence, Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly, trying to ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere, and said, "Alright, it's getting late, really don't think too much about it. Maybe you're just too tired from surveying the scene these past two days, get some rest."
"No, I'm not sleepy right now, and I don't want to sleep." Bai Mengfei said stubbornly, "I must get to the bottom of this case. This case is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface; even Captain Zhao has noticed it."
"Team Leader Zhao is Team Leader Zhao, and you are you. Don't let Team Leader Zhao's thoughts influence you," Xiang Yuntian reminded him.
Bai Mengfei simply nodded silently. She felt that Xiang Yuntian was still inexperienced and had not yet realized that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this murder case.
In the middle of the night, after Xiang Yuntian fell asleep, Bai Mengfei sat there alone, lost in thought.
She desperately wanted to get to the bottom of the case, but it seemed to be stuck somewhere, leaving her scratching her head in confusion.
Unable to figure it out, she simply stood up, walked to the balcony, and looked outside.
In the dead of night, she stood there alone, feeling the cold night chilling her to the bone, as if she were being immersed in icy water, rising and falling helplessly.
Just as she was feeling a little sad, someone appeared downstairs and waved at her. If she hadn't looked down, she wouldn't have noticed the person.
She looked down and realized that the person was Zheng Yueru!
In the dead of night, Zheng Yueru suddenly appeared downstairs looking for her. Why was that? Just as she was wondering, Zheng Yueru waved to her again.
She was eager to know what Zheng Yueru's scheme was, so she stood up and quietly left the room.
When she got downstairs, she saw Zheng Yueru.
Zheng Yueru stood under the tree, motionless in the wind. Fortunately, there weren't many cars passing by at night; otherwise, drivers would have been quite frightened to see a woman dressed in black standing so strangely.
"What do you want from me in the middle of the night?" Bai Mengfei became more wary.
Zheng Yueru smiled slightly and said, "Does coming to see you necessarily mean I have something to say? Or do you hope I have something to say in order to come to you?"
Bai Mengfei was speechless for a moment.
She certainly didn't want this woman to come to her only when she needed something, and she didn't want to help her either, because her intuition told her that this woman couldn't be coming to her with anything good.
"If nothing's wrong, why did you contact me?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Zheng Yueru thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "How about this reason, because I think you're cute?"
"I'm cute? I don't think so," Bai Mengfei replied coldly, and when she turned her face away, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zheng Yueru.
Zheng Yueru turned her face and said, "Okay, actually I came to see you tonight because I have something to ask you. There's something I need your help with."
"What is it? Tell me. Although I won't help you, I still want to know," Bai Mengfei said.
Zheng Yueru smiled slightly and said, "You have no choice. If you don't help me, I'll expose your affair. You should know Li Tie, right?"
Upon hearing that it was indeed related to Li Tie, Bai Mengfei's heart skipped a beat. She hated mixing personal and official matters, but it seemed that Zheng Yueru had been keeping an eye on her because of this.
"How did you know I would be in charge of this case?" Bai Mengfei asked Zheng Yueru.
Zheng Yueru's lips curled up into a haughty smile, and then she said, "Don't forget my profession."
"What's your profession?" Bai Mengfei asked, puzzled.
Zheng Yueru nodded gently and smiled, "That's right, so I figured it out."
In Bai Mengfei's eyes, these were nothing but charades and tricks, making her believe they were utterly impossible. She smiled, a smile full of indifference.
Zheng Yueru also smiled, but the smile seemed particularly bitter. "To tell you the truth, it was indeed Li Tie who killed the person, and Li Tie is my younger brother."
Upon hearing this news, Bai Mengfei was utterly shocked, stunned by the woman's courage and aura. She was truly curious to know what gave this woman the courage to speak such a truth.
"So you're now going to put aside your own family ties and confess your brother's crimes to me, a public official?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Zheng Yueru's smile vanished instantly, and her voice turned icy: "Heh, you're overthinking it. I need you to do my bidding and help my brother get acquitted. Aren't you in charge of this case? Right now, a lot of evidence is against my brother, but I need you to make the evidence point to someone else."
