Chapter 178 He Left Again

Halfway through her meal, Bai Mengfei suddenly recalled the image of the female corpse.

She remembered that the female corpse showed signs of biting her tongue.

More importantly, she thought that this situation might have occurred because the deceased woman had suffered from epilepsy or mental illness before her death.

If you were to ask Lü You about this issue, you would truly kill two birds with one stone.

On the one hand, this allows one to observe the true nature of the relationship between Lü You and his girlfriend. If he truly loves his girlfriend, he should have some understanding of it.

On the other hand, it might also help to unravel the mystery of the female victim biting her tongue.

After all, how much determination would it take for a normal person to choose to die in this way?

Bai Mengfei then said, "I found on your girlfriend's body that she showed signs of biting her tongue before she died."

"She bit herself?" Lü You was clearly agitated. "Was it an accident, or was there another reason?"

Bai Mengfei shook her head slightly and continued, "It's not certain yet, but it's clear that she seemed to have intentionally bitten her tongue, and judging from the bite mark, it looks like she was determined to die."

"Oh." Lu You responded faintly after hearing this, then frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Bai Mengfei, filled with curiosity, lowered her voice and asked, "Have you thought of something?"

"No...no." Lü You quickly shook her head, denying Bai Mengfei's guess.

But how could Bai Mengfei possibly miss his thoughtful expression?

However, since he was unwilling to admit it, Bai Mengfei did not press him further, but simply kept the matter in mind.

Judging from the other party's reaction, they clearly know something, which is very suspicious.

“You were clearly thinking about something in the store just now. I came to find you because I trust you, not because I want anything from you, but just to clear your name.”

When they finished eating and were about to get into the car to leave, Bai Mengfei couldn't hold back any longer and said again, "If you trust me, please tell me everything you know."

Lu You did not respond, but turned his head and looked out at the night.

Just then, Bai Mengfei noticed another detail.

From the moment she met Lü You until now, she has never seen him smoke even a single cigarette.

So Bai Mengfei asked, "Don't you usually smoke?"

Lu You turned around in surprise and asked, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

“This is a very important clue to solving the case. Please answer truthfully whether you have it or not,” Bai Mengfei asked seriously.

Without hesitation, Lü You admitted, "No, I never smoke."

Hearing his affirmative answer, Bai Mengfei became even more convinced that he was not the murderer.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he is extremely meticulous and said this on purpose.

However, this possibility is now extremely slim.

Around 9 or 10 p.m., Lü You dropped Bai Mengfei off at Xiang Yuntian's door and then left.

He didn't suggest coming inside or sitting down. From his expression and words, it was clear that he had no special feelings for Bai Mengfei, and even regarded her as a naive young girl.

Bai Mengfei watched his car drive away before going inside.

She originally thought that Xiang Yuntian must be buried in his work again, so busy that he forgot that she hadn't come home yet, but she didn't expect to see Xiang Yuntian sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face.

“I’m back,” she said to Xiang Yuntian.

Xiang Yuntian did not respond.

At this moment, Bai Mengfei just wanted to take a good bath and then sort out the whole thing while she was bathing.

Just as she was getting her clothes, Xiang Yuntian suddenly walked over and questioned her, "Did someone just bring you back?"

Bai Mengfei stopped rummaging through her clothes, turned to look at him, but answered irrelevantly: "Don't you know you have to knock before entering someone else's room?"

"I'm asking you, did someone bring you back?" Xiang Yuntian was somewhat agitated.

Bai Mengfei readily admitted, "Yes."

Xiang Yuntian suddenly gave a bitter laugh. The laugh lasted for a while before he took a deep breath, forcing back his sadness, and asked, "Then tell me, what did you all do?"

Bai Mengfei sensed that Xiang Yuntian was about to lose his temper. She wanted to see what he would look like when he was angry, and even thought that it would be best if he would give up on her after getting angry.

So she retorted, "Do I need to tell you?"

Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath, his eyes widened, and he questioned, "Isn't that necessary?"

"I don't think it's necessary. If you don't like it, I'll leave now, and don't stop me. It's my freedom to be with whomever I want," Bai Mengfei said softly.

Enraged, Xiang Yuntian turned around, pointed at the door, and shouted, "Fine, go... get out of here right now, and don't come back!"

Bai Mengfei was also stubborn, and immediately replied, "Fine, you said it yourself. Even if you beg me to come back, I won't."

After saying that, she threw down the clothes she was holding and left without looking back.

Xiang Yuntian stood still and did not chase after him.

Bai Mengfei stepped outside, and a cold wind swept over her, causing her to shiver.

She thought to herself that she would not show weakness at a time like this, but when she crossed her arms, she couldn't help but recall the times when she used to sleep with her head on Xiang Yuntian's shoulder.

Although the weather wasn't that cold then, that feeling was incredibly reassuring and reliable to her.

For some reason, there were no vehicles or pedestrians on the road tonight.

Bai Mengfei wanted to find a car to take her back to the house Zhao Fei had arranged for her, but she realized she had forgotten her keys.

Just as she walked under the streetlight in despair, she suddenly saw a car parked on the side of the road and a person getting out of the car.

It was a private car, and the person who got out of the car was Lü You.

Lu You walked over quickly, saying as she went, "I'm so glad to see you. I'm lost. Could you take me back to that restaurant or the police station?"

I never expected Lü You to be such a terrible navigator!

Bai Mengfei sighed helplessly and nodded in agreement, "Alright."

"By the way, were you waiting for someone while you were standing there?"

After getting in the car, Lü You asked, "Will helping me delay you and the others? If it will, then you don't need to bother, I can just continue using the navigation myself."

“No… I’ll take you,” Bai Mengfei said.

Halfway there, Lü You asked again, "Who were you waiting for just now?"

"Actually, I wasn't waiting for someone." Bai Mengfei couldn't help but explain to him, "I just had a few arguments with my family and ran away in a fit of anger."

"Argued with your family? Could it be because of me?"

Lu You was quite quick-witted and asked, "I invited you to dinner, but you didn't call home to let me know you were safe, so your family is worried about you, right?"
