Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian say, "Let's elope," Bai Mengfei was startled, and her body trembled involuntarily.

After a moment of surprise, Bai Mengfei slowly turned around, looked at Xiang Yuntian, and said with an incredulous bitter smile, "Are you serious?"

"Yes, absolutely." Xiang Yuntian replied firmly.

Bai Mengfei smiled calmly, deliberately stepped forward, and said in a teasing tone, "Fine! Let's elope then, I'm not afraid. Anyway, it's no big deal for me."

"I'm not afraid! As long as you agree, I'll take you with me right away."

Hearing his urgent words, Bai Mengfei lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Then, she quickly raised her head and asked again to confirm, "Are you really not joking with me? Are you sure you're serious?"

"Yes! I'm sure!" Xiang Yuntian answered without hesitation.

Bai Mengfei nodded repeatedly and said, "Alright! In that case, wait for me to finish these two things, and then I'll go with you."

"Which two things?" Xiang Yuntian asked in surprise.

"The first thing is that serial murder case of teenage girls, which you've always known about," Bai Mengfei said softly.

Xiang Yuntian nodded immediately and said firmly, "Yes, I know that. And the second thing?"

"The second thing is to finish this case I'm currently handling. Once both of these are done, I'll go abroad with you for further studies. After all, we're still young, aren't we?"

Xiang Yuntian thought she made sense, so he nodded slightly and agreed, "Okay! Then I'll help you take care of these two things."

“But as you know, neither of these cases is easy to solve.” With that, Bai Mengfei turned and walked to the body, examining it intently.

Xiang Yuntian also came over and said, "So how do you plan to investigate? And of these two cases, I think this one is more important right now, isn't it?"

Bai Mengfei nodded and affirmed, "That's right! This is indeed the most urgent matter. Come, help me turn her over; I want to see the injury on her back."

"Yes!" Xiang Yuntian quickly stepped forward to help, and asked at the same time, "Are you trying to deduce the murderer from her previous wounds?"

“Yes!” Bai Mengfei answered affirmatively.

Next, she began her investigation by examining these wounds and discovered that many of them were caused by being whipped with leather belts, and that the wounds also had some distinctive textures.

“Shortly before she died, she was whipped with a belt by those people, or rather, by the same person. Because these wounds should have been inflicted by the same person, and with the same belt,” Bai Mengfei analyzed.

Xiang Yuntian said "Oh". In fact, while Bai Mengfei was analyzing, his gaze remained fixed on her, his eyes focused and unwavering.

After a moment of silence, Bai Mengfei spoke again, asking, "Have you ever considered that the case of the teenage girl's murder might never be solved? Even so, are you still willing to wait for me?"

After asking the question, Bai Mengfei stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Xiang Yuntian. Actually, she had an idea in her mind at that moment: if Xiang Yuntian couldn't wait, she would drop everything and go with him.

However, Xiang Yuntian did not disappoint her. He nodded firmly and said affirmatively, "Yes! I'm willing to wait. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you."

Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's answer, Bai Mengfei smiled slightly and said, "Alright, if that's the case, then that's good."

After speaking, she turned her head and continued to examine the corpse. At that moment, she felt a little disappointed, secretly thinking about Xiang Yuntian, that big idiot.

However, she was still very grateful to Xiang Yuntian, because she felt that she would never have peace of mind for the rest of her life if she didn't solve that case.

Women can be so contradictory and conflicted sometimes.

Just then, Zhao Fei suddenly walked in and said, "I've found a clue that might reveal the motives behind those crimes."

Upon hearing Zhao Fei's words, Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei quickly turned to look at him. After glancing at Zhao Fei, Xiang Yuntian asked疑惑地问道, "What clue?"

Zhao Fei said, "When I was going through the files, I saw the statement of one of the girls. In her statement, she mentioned that she saw their male teacher at the school. I suspect that the male teacher might be a psychopath, and that he was there the whole time. This might explain why he killed so many people who had been to that school, but not this female student, and instead abused her all along."

Bai Mengfei still didn't quite understand.

This time, however, Xiang Yuntian understood. He stepped forward and asked, "So do you know where that teacher is now?"

"The teacher at that time was surnamed Ma, and his given name was Chang. He is still teaching at that school now."

After listening to Zhao Fei's words, Xiang Yuntian had another question: "Then why don't you go and investigate directly, instead of coming to tell us? We still have things to do right now."

"What are you doing?" Zhao Fei asked. He asked this hoping that the two of them could temporarily put aside what they were doing.

Xiang Yuntian retorted without any politeness, "What do you think a man and a woman like us could possibly do in this morgue? Don't overthink it."

"No! What I mean is, you two are a perfect match – one is good at observing people, and the other is good at observing the environment. So I've decided to have you two come with me."

As Zhao Fei spoke, Xiang Yuntian suspected he wasn't telling the truth and felt as if he was hiding something from him.

So Xiang Yuntian looked at him suspiciously, trying to figure out if he was telling the truth.

Seeing Xiang Yuntian looking at him like that, Zhao Fei quickly took a deep breath and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

I have serious doubts about what you're saying.

"What's there to doubt?" Zhao Fei looked puzzled and asked in surprise, "I'm telling the truth."

“But I feel there are still some truths you’ve kept hidden in your heart, things you haven’t told me,” Xiang Yuntian said definitively.

Zhao Fei knew that Xiang Yuntian had seen through him, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Alright! It seems I can't hide it from you after all. Actually, it's like this, I think if you two, these two lucky stars, help me, this case will definitely progress smoothly, giving me wings."

"Adding wings to a tiger? I think it's more like a mess." Bai Mengfei said as she slowly walked over, taking off her gloves and revealing a helpless smile on her face.
