Although Jiang Shuai had always known that this little girl was extraordinary, he was still surprised to hear her ask such a mature question.

After all, how could a girl who is only fifteen years old not consider the extent of her injury, but instead get straight to the point and want to know how it happened?

He stared intently at Bai Mengfei for a long while, once again intimidated by her icy gaze, before letting out a long sigh and explaining to her, "I was sent to monitor Fang Kai as arranged by Xiang Yuntian. But..."

He glanced at his injured leg and shook his head helplessly.

"How could you have been hit by a car?" Xiang Yuntian asked, looking surprised. "This doesn't make sense. I remember your driving skills are always excellent."

Jiang Shuai sighed helplessly and lowered his head with a dejected expression.

At this moment, he looked melancholy, as if he were hiding some unspeakable bitterness.

Such an expression further piqued Xiang Yuntian's curiosity.

So Xiang Yuntian stared at him with suspicion, hoping to find the answer on his face.

Jiang Shuai knew Xiang Yuntian's personality; he was the kind of person who would get to the bottom of things. So he confessed his situation to Xiang Yuntian: "Okay! Because I was so focused on pursuing him, I ended up changing lanes illegally."

Hearing this, Bai Mengfei felt that Jiang Shuai must have managed to track down Fang Kai, so she asked curiously, "Did you find anything suspicious about him?"

Jiang Shuai shrugged, slowly shook his head, and denied it outright: "No, that's really not the case. He just seems like an ordinary reporter."

Hearing this answer, Bai Mengfei was filled with disappointment.

Xiang Yuntian noticed her disappointment and gently comforted her, "There will be other opportunities in the future."

Just as Bai Mengfei was about to respond, Xiang Yuntian's phone rang.

Jiang Shuai joked, "Is it because some girl you like is thinking about you?"

Because Bai Mengfei was present, Xiang Yuntian quickly frowned and said, "Go away, don't talk nonsense."

As she spoke, she picked up her phone and discovered that it was Zhao Fei calling.

Zhao Fei usually calls him when he has a difficult case to solve, so he immediately answered the phone.

"Hey."

The moment the call connected, and he uttered those words, Zhao Fei rushed in with a string of urgent words: "Are you still in the hospital? I've searched the entire police station but couldn't find you. I have a murder case here; could you come over and help me analyze it?"

"When did I say I was too busy when Captain Zhao contacted me?" Xiang Yuntian's words implied that he had agreed.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Jiang Shuai asked curiously, "What, is it about that reporter Fang Kai again?"

"No, it's a murder case. I have to go check it out."

After saying that, Xiang Yuntian prepared to leave with Bai Mengfei.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shuai suddenly said, "It's not good for this little girl to always follow you around! How about this, leave her here, and I'll take care of her for a while."

In fact, Jiang Shuai felt that Bai Mengfei was not simple and was too mature. He was also bored staying alone in the hospital, so he made this request.

But this is Bai Mengfei!

How could Xiang Yuntian possibly leave her with another man?

"Never mind, I won't bother you."

Therefore, Xiang Yuntian decisively refused, saying, "Her parents entrusted her to me, so I feel more at ease taking care of her myself. You should focus on recovering."

After saying that, Xiang Yuntian hurriedly turned to look at Bai Mengfei, gesturing with his eyes for her to leave first, as if he were afraid that Bai Mengfei would be taken away by someone.

In the past, such worries might have been possible.

But now, it must be said that he was overthinking things. Bai Mengfei's soul is now attached to a little girl named Zhang Ting.

The girl wasn't bad-looking, but compared to her original appearance, she was slightly less attractive. Why would anyone pay too much attention to her and then compete for her?

Bai Mengfei understood the meaning in Xiang Yuntian's eyes, so she left first.

Along the way, with every step she took, she was pondering a question.

Details of past cases, like data in a computer, kept surfacing in her mind and being reassembled in various ways.

Once in the car, Xiang Yuntian noticed that Bai Mengfei seemed to be deep in thought, so he asked softly, "You look worried, as if you have a lot on your mind."

"Ah! Really?" Bai Mengfei finally came to her senses and smiled shyly.

"I'm fine, hurry up and drive."

Seeing that Bai Mengfei seemed unwilling to say more, Xiang Yuntian did not press her further.

When the two returned to the police station, it was already dinnertime.

Zhao Fei was eating in the police station canteen when he invited Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian to join him.

They weren't idle even while eating.

While stirring his rice with a spoon, Zhao Fei looked up at Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei sitting opposite him: "I asked you to come over because we received a case this afternoon. A man died at home, and the last person to see him was a food delivery guy."

At this point, Zhao Fei suddenly paused, waiting for Xiang Yuntian to ask a question based on his flexible and divergent thinking.

Xiang Yuntian understood immediately: "So you think the delivery guy killed someone?"

“That’s possible,” Zhao Fei said while chewing his food.

"And it's very likely, but when we asked the delivery guy, he denied it to the death."

At this moment, Bai Mengfei really wanted to see the body, because she felt that by examining the cause of death, she could at least make some judgments.

Xiang Yuntian glanced at Bai Mengfei casually, understanding what she wanted to say, and asked for her, "What did the forensic doctor say?"

"Sigh, there's still no conclusion." Zhao Fei looked troubled. "These new forensic doctors aren't very effective. If Forensic Doctor Bai were still here, he could definitely determine the time and cause of death just by looking at the body."

Hearing Zhao Fei mention her past self to her face, Bai Mengfei's face flushed slightly.

I never expected so many people to remember me after I died. It seems my past life wasn't wasted.

Zhao Fei didn't notice any of this and continued, "However, we don't have any evidence yet, we're just listening to the security guard's side of the story, so we haven't arrested the delivery guy yet."

"We can ask him to come back and assist with the investigation," Xiang Yuntian said.

"I've already tried it."

Zhao Fei responded, "I went to his place but couldn't find him. I went to his company and heard that he hadn't gone back to work. We only contacted each other by phone. He insists that this case has nothing to do with him."

Hearing this, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but interject, "Actually, maybe it really wasn't him? What was his motive?"

After all, she used to be a forensic doctor and often dealt with these kinds of cases, so she had some understanding of them.

Instantly, Zhao Fei looked up at her in surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He hadn't expected that such a young girl would hit the nail on the head so quickly.

It’s not easy!
