“But he’s going to make a mistake by doing this!” Xiang Yuntian said with a worried expression.

Bai Mengfei turned her head, her eyes fixed on the screen. After looking at it carefully for a while, she slowly said, "No one is perfect. And if anyone is at fault, it should be me. I really shouldn't have made that joke with him just now, making him so worried that he was so eager to detain Ma Chang."

"But now it seems there's no other way." Xiang Yuntian sighed helplessly, his face full of helplessness and confusion.

The two waited until Zhao Fei came out of the interrogation room. Bai Mengfei quickly stepped forward and said, "Captain Zhao, I was just joking with you. Even if he really is the murderer, he wouldn't dare to do anything to you. After all, you are the captain of the criminal investigation team!"

"No, what you just said makes sense. It's really not worth risking my life." Zhao Fei shook his head, a hint of lingering fear in his voice.

Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian tried to persuade Zhao Fei one after another, but Zhao Fei seemed not to listen to anything and his expression was very stubborn.

Seeing that their attempts to persuade them were unsuccessful, the two had no choice but to leave.

Back home, Bai Mengfei's mind was still preoccupied with the case, a hint of worry in her eyes. Xiang Yuntian saw through her thoughts at a glance and said gently, "Don't think about it so much, everything will be alright. There's always a solution."

Bai Mengfei gave a soft "hmm," slowly walked to the sofa, and sat down, looking somewhat tired and dejected.

Seeing this, Xiang Yuntian walked over with heartache, sat down beside her, gently patted her shoulder, and comforted her, "Don't worry too much. Since some things have happened, we can only face them. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Alright, I'm not thinking about this case anymore, and you shouldn't either. Go take a shower and get some rest. I agree to let you sleep in my bed tonight," Bai Mengfei said, forcing a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian's face immediately lit up with joy, and he obediently went to take a bath.

Bai Mengfei leaned back on the sofa, gazing at the ceiling, lost in deep thought. She was still preoccupied with the case; the reason she didn't want Xiang Yuntian to worry about it was simply because she didn't want him to be troubled as well.

After pondering for a long time, an ominous premonition arose in her heart, and she felt that this matter was probably not good, and at least one person would lose their life because of it.

Why do you have such an idea?

The reason is actually quite simple. She speculated that the murderer's accomplice might choose to kill an innocent person in order to clear Ma Chang's name and prove to the police that he was not the murderer, thus making the police mistakenly believe that the real murderer was still at large.

Thinking of this, Bai Mengfei immediately took out her phone and called Zhao Fei.

When Zhao Fei saw that it was Bai Mengfei calling, he answered the phone and asked, "Hello, Mengfei, what's up?"

"Captain Zhao, I think what you've done this time could kill someone!" Bai Mengfei said anxiously.

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Fei asked, puzzled, clearly not having considered this point.

Bai Mengfei quickly explained, "I told you before that this case is very special. I feel that the murderer is not one person, but a group."

"Yeah, so what? Are you saying that his gang members will try to assassinate me?" Zhao Fei asked with a wry smile.

“No, they wouldn’t be that stupid. If they assassinated you, wouldn’t that be admitting that Ma Chang was the murderer? I suspect they would kill someone insignificant and then create the illusion that the murderer is someone else,” Bai Mengfei analyzed seriously.

Zhao Fei listened to Bai Mengfei's words and found them very reasonable. He frowned and muttered to himself, "If that's really the case, then wouldn't I indirectly become a murderer?"

“Yes, this is exactly what they mean by ‘not killing Bo Ren, but Bo Ren dying because of you’!” Bai Mengfei sighed.

Zhao Fei sighed heavily and asked anxiously, "What should I do now?"

Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment and said, "I hope it's not too late for you to go and guard that building now."

"In the middle of the night, you want us to guard that building?" Zhao Fei raised his voice in surprise.

Bai Mengfei nodded firmly and said, "That's right, you heard me correctly."

At this moment, Xiang Yuntian had quickly finished showering and came out. Seeing Bai Mengfei on the phone, he smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." After answering Xiang Yuntian, Bai Mengfei said to Zhao Fei on the other end of the phone, "Captain Zhao, just do as I say. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Mengfei told Xiang Yuntian her thoughts.

After listening, Xiang Yuntian guessed, "I think Captain Zhao probably won't listen to you."

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm worried about. How about the two of us..."

Before Bai Mengfei could finish speaking, Xiang Yuntian decisively interrupted her: "No, that's too dangerous. You know we're no match for them. We're just forensic doctors, responsible for investigating cases and finding the truth, while they are vicious criminals with far more experience in harming people than we are. Going there will only increase the danger."

After saying that, seeing that Bai Mengfei did not respond, Xiang Yuntian said gently, "Don't think so much, okay? I believe nothing will happen. Don't worry too much."

Bai Mengfei remained silent, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and worry.

The next day, as soon as the two returned to the police station, they heard Zhao Fei say dejectedly, "Just as you predicted, Forensic Doctor Zhang, something happened."

As Zhao Fei spoke, his face was full of guilt.

Bai Mengfei turned her head and looked at Xiang Yuntian, who had stopped her last night.

Xiang Yuntian lowered his head with a look of shame, but still explained, "But there was nothing I could do. After all, we all know that we are just ordinary people, how can we fight against those cunning criminals? I did what I did back then because I had no other choice."

Zhao Fei nodded in agreement after hearing Xiang Yuntian's words, and said with self-reproach, "Indeed, no one can be blamed for this. If I have to blame someone, then I should blame myself for being incompetent and failing to catch the murderer, which allowed him to harm people again."

"Team Leader Zhao, this isn't your fault," Xiang Yuntian comforted him.

At this moment, Bai Mengfei's mind was in turmoil. She raised her voice and said irritably, "Alright, stop talking! I don't want to pursue the matter now, I'm just really annoyed!"

After saying that, Bai Mengfei turned and left Zhao Fei's office, heading straight for her morgue.

As soon as she entered the morgue, she saw the female corpse.

She slowly walked to the woman's body, her gaze falling on the wounds on her skin. Looking at these wounds, she seemed to feel the immense pain the woman had suffered before her death.

Every wound was inflicted before she died, leaving the woman's body riddled with holes.

The killer's method of committing the crime did not seem particularly special.

To conduct an initial examination, she began by examining the deceased woman's clothing. After a thorough inspection, she was surprised to find a broken fingernail inside the woman's clothes.
