As he spoke, Xiang Yuntian handed the letter to Bai Mengfei.

After obtaining Xiang Yuntian's permission, Bai Mengfei opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

Strangely, as soon as the envelope was opened, a strong smell of blood wafted out.

Unfolding the letter, Bai Mengfei discovered that it had been wiped with fresh blood, which was truly disgusting.

The letter contained very little information; in short, it was a threatening letter.

In essence, the message was that Xiang Yuntian should stop meddling in other people's business and continue helping the city bureau investigate the murders of these women; otherwise, the consequences would be severe.

After reading it, Bai Mengfei handed the letter back to Xiang Yuntian.

After all, the letter was addressed to Xiang Yuntian, and he should handle this matter himself. As for whether to continue the investigation, that should also be Xiang Yuntian's decision.

Although Xiang Yuntian always listened to Bai Mengfei, Bai Mengfei felt that she didn't seem to have the right to interfere too much.

Xiang Yuntian took the letter, glanced at it confidently, and then laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Bai Mengfei asked softly, a hint of curiosity in her voice.

"You're so happy even though you're being threatened? You're really strange."

Xiang Yuntian slowly shook his head, saying with a wry smile, "I just really didn't expect that anyone would still play this trick these days."

"This must have been written by the murderer."

“That’s right.” Xiang Yuntian nodded affirmatively and said, “We can send this letter to the forensic department to see if we can identify the handwriting inside.”

After saying that, Xiang Yuntian casually folded the letter and carefully put it into his pocket.

Bai Mengfei quickly caught up with him and asked, "Aren't you worried at all? Jiang Shuai is still in the hospital."

“I’m not worried!” Xiang Yuntian said confidently. “Besides, even if I were worried, it wouldn’t do any good. I understand that.”

As they talked, the two had already come outside and were preparing to drive to the forensic department.

Just then, Fanghua suddenly ran out and shouted, "Xiang Yuntian, wait a moment."

Xiang Yuntian, who was about to open the car door, stopped and didn't open it. He turned to look at Fanghua, who was running towards him.

Fanghua rushed over and whispered to him, "There's a new discovery. We found an iron top in the stomach of the newly delivered female corpse."

what?

陀螺?

Bai Mengfei thought she had misheard.

It wasn't until Fanghua confirmed it again and showed them the plastic bag containing the spinning top that the two believed what Fanghua said was true.

Anyone who has seen Inception will definitely remember this spinning top; this is the same model, and it can spin for a long time under normal circumstances.

Xiang Yuntian took the plastic bag and examined it confidently.

Bai Mengfei watched from the side, secretly thinking, "This top definitely wasn't swallowed by the deceased; the murderer must have put it in there."

Given the killer's personality, they would not typically leave such careless clues.

But what exactly was his intention in doing this?

What does this little spinning top represent?

This series of questions left Bai Mengfei somewhat bewildered.

In fact, the exceptionally intelligent Xiang Yuntian was equally perplexed.

He nodded secretly, put the top away, and said to Fanghua, "Give this to me first; it might be an important clue."

Fanghua knew Xiang Yuntian's position in the police station and his intelligence, so she agreed.

"Well, where are you going now?" Fanghua couldn't help but ask.

Why is she suddenly concerned about this?

Could she be the murderer?

In an instant, Bai Mengfei became suspicious. She stared at her silently, her mind racing with thoughts.

After all, everyone was a suspect before the murderer was caught, including herself.

Bai Mengfei has always maintained this cautious attitude and has solved many bizarre cases.

At this moment, Xiang Yuntian had the same thought and looked at Fanghua with suspicion.

"Uh... I think I've said too much."

Fanghua seemed to realize that her question was inappropriate, smiled awkwardly, lowered her head and said, "Well, I was just asking casually, it's fine if you don't want to say."

"Yes, it is indeed very inconvenient."

After spending a lot of time with Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian's personality also became more straightforward, and he was very decisive in refusing people.

After Fanghua hesitated and left, Bai Mengfei smiled bitterly to herself and asked Xiang Yuntian, "Why did you treat that girl like that?"

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Xiang Yuntian said, "Because not every girl is named Bai Mengfei!"

After saying that, he very gentlemanly opened the car door for Bai Mengfei.

Bai Mengfei felt a surge of warmth in her heart, but she didn't say anything. She was secretly delighted, and even her smile was well hidden.

After the two got into the car, Xiang Yuntian asked Bai Mengfei, "What do you think this spinning top is for?"

As he spoke, he placed the plastic bag containing the spinning top in front of the car.

Bai Mengfei reached out and took the plastic bag, examining it closely.

The spinning top looked unremarkable, except for some human gastric juices clinging to it. However, all of this was clearly not of any significant help in solving the case.

She clicked her tongue lightly, handed the plastic bag back to Xiang Yuntian, and said her opinion: "There shouldn't be anything special about this. It's probably something the murderer put in when he was about to kill the victim, and then probably forgot to take it out."

Although Bai Mengfei felt that things weren't that simple, she didn't want to let this little object distract her.

Xiang Yuntian sensed that Bai Mengfei seemed unwilling to talk more, so he didn't press her further.

As the car started moving, Bai Mengfei suddenly asked another question: "By the way, I'm asking you, have you ever suspected Fanghua?"

“芳华?”

"no."

Xiang Yuntian slowly started the car and drove off, asking curiously, "Why did you suddenly suspect her?"

"I find Fanghua quite suspicious. Why would she be so concerned about us for no reason? And why did she take out this spinning top?"

Bai Mengfei thought for a moment and continued, "Well, we might have to keep an eye on her. If she's connected to the murderer, that would be troublesome."

"Okay, I understand." Xiang Yuntian smiled to himself.

Bai Mengfei nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

The two then went straight to the forensic department.

On the way, they actually passed by a hospital. Xiang Yuntian originally planned to visit Jiang Shuai, but considering that important business was more important, he did not stop by.

However, even if they went, it would be a wasted trip. Jiang Shuai had already been discharged from the hospital and was currently in an e-sports arena somewhere, happily playing games with a female gaming companion.

After the two delivered the letter to the forensic department, the staff member in charge glanced at it and then told them, "The results won't be available until this evening at the earliest. If you can wait, then wait here. If you can't wait, then come back later to pick it up."

Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei didn't want to wait there, so after a brief discussion, they left.
