Having no other option, Captain Zhao told him, "She's outside. You've recovered enough now, so if you want to see her, go find her yourself."

Upon hearing Zhao's permission, Xiang Yuntian immediately ran out with great joy.

As soon as they stepped outside, they saw Bai Mengfei and Pan Li sitting on chairs in the corridor.

He was so excited that he wanted to rush over and hug Bai Mengfei, but reason kept him in check and he didn't do anything out of line.

Just as he walked happily behind Bai Mengfei, someone suddenly rushed over and hugged him from the side.

Xiang Yuntian was startled and quickly turned his head away.

The person who came was none other than Commander Jiang.

Why would Jiang Shuai come to see him at this time? He must be here to visit him.

"Hey bro, you're still alive! That's great!" Jiang Shuai said with a face full of joy.

Xiang Yuntian rolled his eyes at him, annoyed, and said, "Go away, even if you die, I won't. Good luck, don't talk nonsense."

Then, just like when they were abroad, the two started bickering and teasing each other again.

Unbeknownst to them, at the end of the corridor, a pair of sharp eyes were watching them intently.

Bai Mengfei noticed something was amiss even earlier than they did. She turned her head and looked at Xu Sanmin, who was standing at the end of the corridor with his hands in his pockets.

Xiang Yuntian was seriously injured in a car accident, but why did Xu Sanmin act as if nothing had happened?

Is he not an ordinary person? Otherwise, how could he have escaped unscathed?

And why was that threatening letter in his car?

In an instant, Bai Mengfei listed Xu Sanmin as the prime suspect.

When she got home that evening, Bai Mengfei dragged a large blackboard out of Xiang Yuntian's storage room, then picked up a piece of chalk and drew circles and lines on it, outlining all sorts of relationships between the characters.

“At present, the most suspicious person is Xu Sanmin.” Bai Mengfei pointed to Xu Sanmin’s name on the blackboard and said, “Although I didn’t quite believe you when you said it before.”

“Xu Sanmin…” Xiang Yuntian stood in front of the blackboard, arms crossed, lost in thought.

He stared intently at the name, recalling Xu Sanmin's everyday words and actions.

In truth, he harbored deep suspicions about Xu Sanmin.

However, arresting someone requires evidence, and Xu Sanmin was almost flawless in front of everyone.

To be honest, if Xiang Yuntian hadn't been more cautious, he probably would have thought that he was a truly kind and impartial person.

But often, beneath the seemingly beautiful exterior lies an unsavory interior.

Pan Li, who didn't understand any of this and wasn't interested, sat alone on the sofa, watching Korean dramas and eating potato chips.

The two of them suddenly found themselves with another person in their world, but they didn't find it troublesome at all.

Because Pan Li is indeed very good at taking care of herself. She cooks for herself and washes the dishes afterward. She is a very independent girl.

After Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian finished their analysis, they stood side by side.

Bai Mengfei watched Pan Li busy in the kitchen and deliberately recommended her to Xiang Yuntian, saying, "This girl is quite nice; you could consider marrying her."

Xiang Yuntian didn't think much of it, assuming that Bai Mengfei was simply praising Pan Li, so he nodded in agreement and said, "Yes!"

But when he turned his head and saw Bai Mengfei's eyes fixed on him, he came to his senses and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "No, no. I meant that others can consider marrying her."

Before she could finish explaining, Bai Mengfei had already turned and walked back to her room.

Xiang Yuntian hurriedly chased after her to coax her, but Bai Mengfei closed the door and hid behind it, secretly laughing.

Xiang Yuntian kept knocking on the door and apologizing, but to no avail.

Pan Li immediately knew what was going on. She walked past like a gust of wind, saying in a low voice, "You'd better save your energy. Let her have some peace and quiet."

Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment and felt that Pan Li might understand Bai Mengfei better, so he stopped talking.

Around 3 a.m., Xiang Yuntian was fast asleep when Zhao, the head of the municipal bureau's case handling team, called: "Hey, Yuntian, are you still sleeping?"

Xiang Yuntian glanced at the time and realized it was only a little past three in the morning. What else could he be doing at this hour but not sleeping?

So he frowned and asked, "What's wrong, Captain Zhao? Aren't you going to rest?"

"I need your help. My colleagues and I are currently tracking down suspect Pan Hu, but he has suddenly disappeared, leaving only some clues."

"We've already cordoned off the area. Can you come over and help us investigate?"

Why don't you look for Xu Sanmin?

When Xiang Yuntian asked this, Captain Zhao immediately became hesitant and stammered, "Okay, actually, another body was found here, and I need you to come and take a look. After all, you are an expert in both forensic medicine and criminal investigation, so I don't want to call too many people."

Another murder has occurred.

Xiang Yuntian has a natural sensitivity to corpses and knows the importance of investigating the scene as soon as possible, so he immediately got out of bed and prepared to find the murderer.

Just as he opened his door, Bai Mengfei also opened her door.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Bai Mengfei understood that Xiang Yuntian was going out to handle a case, so she stepped forward and said softly, "Let me go with you?"

"No. It's so late, you should go to sleep. You have to go to class as a student tomorrow, don't you?"

Hearing Xiang Yuntian's refusal, Bai Mengfei was disappointed, but still said, "Alright then."

Just then, Pan Li also came out. She hadn't been able to fall asleep; after all, she wasn't used to sleeping alone in the new bed. Hearing Xiang Yuntian open the door, she quietly opened it a crack and peeked through.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but come out.

Thinking Xiang Yuntian was going somewhere fun, she stepped forward and said with a grin, "Hey. It's so late, you two went out to play without inviting me?"

After all, she was like an orphan since childhood. Her father, Pan Hu, disappeared when she was very young, which fostered her lively and carefree personality.

"We're not going out to play." After explaining, Xiang Yuntian felt that this was not quite accurate, so he explained in more detail: "No, it's not 'we,' it's me. I'm not going out to play."

"Oh, so what are you going to do?"

"Are you still going to work so late?"

Pan Li's question was like that of a young wife asking her husband a question.

Bai Mengfei, who was introverted and aloof, felt somewhat uncomfortable watching this scene.

But she didn't say anything, she just watched quietly.

After all, I have a rather introverted personality, so I can't blame anyone else.

Fortunately, Xiang Yuntian wasn't the outgoing type like Jiang Shuai. Faced with Pan Li's concern, he hesitated several times, turning his face away.

What he really needs is a girl like Bai Mengfei, who doesn't talk much but is very understanding.
