Upon seeing the message, Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment before quickly typing a reply.

[Are you free now? Please help me find some information about the deceased; I need it urgently.]

Jiang Shuai quickly sent a message with a question: "Are you Xiang Yuntian himself?"

Bai Mengfei remained silent for a while, sent a few ellipses, and then revealed the truth.

No, I'm Zhang Ting.

"Oh, is that the little girl next to Xiang Yuntian?" Jiang Shuai asked.

Bai Mengfei replied with only one word: "Mm".

Jiang Shuai then replied, "Okay, I'll help you look it up. Give me twenty minutes, and I'll send you the information in a bit."

"Thank you."

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Shuai indeed sent several documents.

It contained information about the deceased, including even Bai Mengfei's former information.

Bai Mengfei sat in front of her laptop, carefully browsing through the information.

She discovered that, in addition to all being women, the deceased had another common characteristic: none of them had a boyfriend or husband.

This made Bai Mengfei ponder deeply: who would be the murderer's next target?

This is truly baffling.

Just then, Bai Mengfei heard Xiang Yuntian say in his sleep from inside the room, "Don't leave me."

"Hmm?" Bai Mengfei turned her head curiously and looked over, while getting up and walking towards the bedroom.

As she entered the bedroom, she instinctively reached out and touched Xiang Yuntian's forehead, only to find that he did not have a fever.

what on earth is this kind of happenings?

Now that things have come to this, Bai Mengfei is increasingly suspicious that Xu Sanmin has a problem.

That night, she didn't close her eyes. Alone, she sat in Xiang Yuntian's room with her computer, intently studying the documents.

She was like a tireless iron woman, showing no signs of fatigue, and her eyes never missed a single detail.

The next morning, Xiang Yuntian slowly woke up, turned his head and saw her sitting beside him, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"You didn't sleep at all last night, did you?" Xiang Yuntian propped himself up on the blanket and sat up. Seeing Bai Mengfei still holding the laptop, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at the information," Bai Mengfei told him frankly. "Last night I added Jiang Shuai and asked him to give me the information on the female victim. So far, I haven't found any useful clues. But I can confirm one thing."

Xiang Yuntian immediately asked nervously, "What is it?"

"None of these female victims seemed to have ever been in a relationship. It feels like the killer's fetish is very strange."

After listening to Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian smiled and said, "But this alone is not enough to determine the identity of the murderer."

Bai Mengfei nodded to herself, agreeing with Xiang Yuntian's idea, and then said, "So today, we need to dig out some useful clues."

At that moment, she was completely preoccupied with the case and had forgotten that she hadn't rested yet.

But just because she doesn't care doesn't mean Xiang Yuntian doesn't care either.

Xiang Yun got out of bed, gently closed his laptop, and carried it away.

Bai Mengfei remained silent, staring at Xiang Yuntian with a puzzled look, wondering what he was up to.

Xiang Yuntian smiled gently and said, "You can't keep not sleeping like this. You should rest for a while."

Bai Mengfei felt a warmth in her heart at Xiang Yuntian's sudden concern. However, she didn't show it too obviously, but simply smiled and said, "No need, the case is important. After all, we don't know who the killer's next target is."

Xiang Yuntian turned around and placed the computer on the bedside table. He then turned back, sat down, and stared intently at Bai Mengfei, saying, "Let's start with the clue of the murderer. Finding the next target won't be so easy."

Bai Mengfei lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and realized that Xiang Yuntian was right. After all, in a vast sea of ​​people, starting from the direction of the murderer's target was indeed a dead end.

Just as the two fell silent, Xiang Yuntian's phone suddenly started vibrating.

Hearing his phone ring, Xiang Yuntian took it out and saw that it was Zhao Fei calling.

"Hey, Captain Zhao, what's up?" Xiang Yuntian asked.

Zhao Fei said with considerable distress on the other end of the phone, "Yes, this is really troublesome now. Sigh, another problem has arisen, as you know. Netizens have posted a lot of messages, strongly urging us to find the murderer as soon as possible. We can't just find anyone to take the blame, can we? Don't you think so?"

This is true.

Xiang Yuntian frowned deeply, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards Bai Mengfei. He felt a certain dependence on Bai Mengfei and hoped to get some advice from her.

Bai Mengfei understood what Xiang Yuntian meant from his eyes.

However, she didn't say anything, but just waited quietly.

After Xiang Yuntian agreed to Zhao Fei's request and hung up the phone, she asked, "Was that Captain Zhao calling? Does he want us to find the murderer as soon as possible?"

Xiang Yuntian sighed helplessly and nodded slightly.

Then, he made a decision and said to Bai Mengfei, "I'll go get the car now, you get some rest. I'll come pick you up after I get the car."

Bai Mengfei agreed without even thinking.

After Xiang Yuntian left, she picked up her computer again to continue looking at the information, feeling that the deceased had some similarities to herself.

What was the killer's motive? This was the question Bai Mengfei was pondering.

Is this just an ordinary case of a deranged serial killer?

This matter is currently giving her a real headache.

She sat on the bedside table, rubbing her temples with both hands, feeling somewhat disoriented. It was probably because she hadn't slept all night.

Gradually, she leaned on the bedside table and fell asleep without realizing it.

When she woke up again, it was already afternoon.

She turned around and found herself lying in bed, covered with a blanket. This must have been done by Xiang Yuntian, right?

She rolled out of bed, but didn't see Xiang Yuntian. However, she noticed a note on the table, under a vase. With her innate keen senses, she spotted it immediately and went over to it.

He picked up the note and read: "There's food in the fridge. I'll be back later, don't wait for me."

These two simple sentences, read in a tone that sounds like a husband talking to his wife.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Bai Mengfei immediately smiled bitterly at herself, wondering if she was overthinking things.

She went to wash up and then went to the refrigerator.

I opened the refrigerator and sure enough, I saw a bento box inside.

When she took it out, she was surprised to find that it contained her favorite large crab.

Xiang Yuntian was very thoughtful and always remembered her preferences.

Thinking of this, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. Just this understanding he had for her surpassed that of many men.

She took her lunchbox, went to the living room, sat down, and began to eat.

We had only eaten half of it when we saw Xiang Yuntian rush in, as if he had forgotten to take something.

As soon as he entered, he saw that Bai Mengfei was already awake and eating the crabs he had bought. He smiled brightly, though with a hint of youthful awkwardness.
