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

Chapter 186 Pretending

In fact, Xiang Yuntian was right next to Jiang Shuai at that moment, so Jiang Shuai simply handed the phone to Xiang Yuntian and let him speak to Bai Mengfei himself.

After taking the phone, Xiang Yuntian hurriedly asked Bai Mengfei with concern, "How are you now? Are you alright?"

"It's fine." Bai Mengfei nodded gently and said, "You really don't need to worry about me. I'm a grown woman now, I can definitely handle things on my own."

"You're still old? You've only recently come of age."

“Actually…” Bai Mengfei wanted to tell the truth, but stopped herself because she was worried that someone might be eavesdropping. “Never mind, you should understand what I’m trying to say. Anyway, don’t worry about me, okay? Don’t be so fussy, you big man.”

Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Alright."

Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's affirmative response, Bai Mengfei finally hung up the phone.

However, Xiang Yuntian tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, his mind filled with thoughts of Bai Mengfei, even with Jiang Shuai by his side.

Jiang Shuai also noticed that Xiang Yuntian was not in good spirits and kept advising him to stop thinking about it and get some rest.

The next day, Xiang Yuntian went to work at the police station. His dark circles were even more pronounced, which Zhao Fei noticed and called him directly into his office for a talk.

"Xiang Yuntian, what's wrong with your dark circles? Tell me about it," Zhao Fei said.

Xiang Yuntian simply shook his head slightly, his brows furrowed, looking as if he was unwilling to say more.

Zhao Fei felt that Xiang Yuntian was not cooperating, so he took a deep breath and said, "You're making me feel very helpless, you know that?"

“I know, but I don’t think there’s anything to say.” With that, Xiang Yuntian stood up and said, “Alright, Captain Zhao, didn’t you say that I was in full charge of that case? I’ll go see if I can find any clues now.”

Zhao Fei suddenly said, "Wait a minute, Xiang Yuntian."

"Team Leader Zhao, is there anything else?" Xiang Yuntian asked.

Zhao Fei remained silent for a moment, then picked up the phone and called outside to ask Wang Tian to come in.

After Zhao Fei hung up the phone, Xiang Yuntian asked curiously, "Then, Captain Zhao, I'll head out now."

Zhao Fei nodded slightly and said, "No need, I was just about to tell you about this. Wang Tian expressed her desire to participate in the case you're in charge of, and this case requires the cooperation of our criminal investigation team, so I plan to have her partner with you. After all, you two know each other, right?"

“That’s right.” Xiang Yuntian forced a smile. “But I don’t think it’s appropriate. I don’t really want to do it this way.”

Zhao Fei thought for a moment and then said, "But this is my arrangement. You should obey your superiors, shouldn't you?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Fei used this to exert pressure, so Xiang Yuntian had no choice but to take a deep breath and reluctantly agree, "Alright then, I agree to your arrangement."

Seeing that Xiang Yuntian agreed, Zhao Fei finally showed a relieved smile.

A short while later, Wang Tian walked in, saying as she entered, "Captain Zhao, did you agree to let me participate in that case?"

“Yes, come here for a moment, I’ll have Xiang Yuntian talk to you,” Zhao Fei said.

Wang Tian smiled slightly, walked briskly to Xiang Yuntian's side, nodded politely, and said with a smile, "Forensic Doctor Xiang, there are many things I don't understand, and I'll have to trouble you to guide me."

Xiang Yuntian forced a smile, but it was a very strained one, a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

He couldn't feel truly happy; he would only be genuinely happy if Bai Mengfei were standing in front of him.

He replied somewhat perfunctorily, "Okay, no problem. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me anytime."

Just as the three were handing over their work in the office, Bai Mengfei rushed to the police station.

She had overslept that morning and was worried about how she would face Xiang Yuntian if she ran into him. But when she found that Xiang Yuntian hadn't arrived yet, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't know that Xiang Yuntian was already in Zhao Fei's office.

Since Zhao Fei had entrusted Xiang Yuntian with full responsibility for Bai Mengfei's previous case, he arranged for someone to deliver another case to Bai Mengfei, and the relevant written reports were placed on her desk.

So as soon as she sat down at her desk, she saw these reports.

She picked up one of the reports at random, looked at it carefully, and felt that these were all minor cases, and the related forensic work was rather uninteresting, so she put the report aside.

After a while, she saw Xiang Yuntian pass by the office door.

She had only glanced at it briefly and hadn't paid it any attention.

But when she saw Wang Tian following behind Xiang Yuntian like a little tail, her expression immediately tightened and her brows furrowed.

Wang Tian also saw Bai Mengfei, nodded to her, and smiled.

After the two arrived at the cold storage, Wang Tian said to Xiang Yuntian, "Actually, I don't think the murderer is Lü You."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian, who had his back to Wang Tian, ​​immediately darkened his expression, looking somewhat displeased.

But he didn't speak, nor did he argue emotionally; he simply stared quietly at the corpses.

Wang Tian stepped forward again and continued, "This is very illogical. Think about it, if Lü You really killed her, there's no reason for Tian Liang to suddenly appear. It's clear that Lü You wasn't the last person to see the female victim. If we're talking about suspects, Tian Liang is more suspicious."

Xiang Yuntian disliked Lü You to begin with, and when he heard Wang Tian actually speak up for Lü You, he frowned and said somewhat angrily, "Alright, stop talking. You know these things yourself, so make your own decision."

"Okay, fine," Wang Tian replied somewhat dejectedly.

She felt that Xiang Yuntian didn't want to cooperate with her at all, and more importantly, she felt that Xiang Yuntian didn't like her at all, which was the real reason why she felt lonely.

At this moment, Xiang Yuntian had already begun to focus on examining the corpse again.

At the same time, Bai Mengfei couldn't sit still any longer; she was very curious as to why Wang Tian was following Xiang Yuntian.

So she left the main office and walked over here, pretending to examine the evidence, but actually wanting to find out about the two of them.

That's how people are sometimes; they care about someone, but they pretend not to. Sometimes, she's not quite sure if her current state is right or wrong.

So, Bai Mengfei, true to her word, pretended to walk in with the evidence.

Then, subconsciously, he glanced at Xiang Yuntian and Wang Tian first.

As soon as Wang Tian saw Bai Mengfei walk in, she immediately went up to her warmly and said happily, "Zhang Ting, you've come."

As she spoke, she walked towards Bai Mengfei.

She didn't know that Bai Mengfei was actually much older than her; she only knew Bai Mengfei's apparent identity and thought that Bai Mengfei had just come of age.

So deep down, she had already regarded Bai Mengfei as her good younger sister.
