Just as everyone fell silent, Xiang Yuntian quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Captain Zhao, they're still waiting for us over there."

Bai Mengfei instantly understood.

In fact, she herself doesn't like to spend too much time thinking about relationship issues.

So she nodded gently and replied, "Okay, let's go then."

Pan Li didn't want to stay home alone, so she clung tightly to Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei, pleading, "Oh, please take me with you."

Bai Mengfei understood that Pan Li wouldn't be able to sleep even if she went back, so she turned to look at Xiang Yuntian.

That gaze conveyed both a desire for advice and a deep respect.

Xiang Yuntian agreed without hesitation: "Okay, let's go then?"

After saying that, Xiang Yuntian turned and walked towards the door.

Pan Li was a delicate young girl. As soon as Xiang Yuntian took a step, she hurriedly followed, affectionately taking Bai Mengfei's arm and gently resting her head on Bai Mengfei's shoulder.

This gesture suggests a very close relationship.

Bai Mengfei had had similar close friends before, so she let Pan Li be.

The three arrived at the crime scene late at night.

The scene had been cordoned off with police tape and several police cars. Xiang Yuntian led the two women inside.

The police initially tried to stop them.

A policewoman stepped forward and said, "Forensic Doctor Xiang, these two children can't go in. After all, this is a murder scene, and you know it's not appropriate to let them in."

The policewoman looked troubled as she finished speaking.

Bai Mengfei gave Xiang Yuntian an affirming look, which greatly boosted his confidence.

Xiang Yuntian then said to the policewoman, "It's alright, nothing will go wrong. If anything does happen, I'll take responsibility."

Hearing Xiang Yuntian say that, the policewoman sighed helplessly, then nodded slightly and said with a regretful tone, "In that case, alright then."

Xiang Yuntian then led the two into the scene.

At this moment, Bai Mengfei was very worried, and what she was worried about was exactly what Xiang Yuntian was worried about.

If the murderer is indeed Pan Hu, Pan Li's biological father, how should Pan Li face all of this?

Although Pan Hu did this, it was very likely at the behest of his mother.

Xiang Yuntian strode inside, eager to find Captain Zhao as soon as possible and get to the bottom of things.

Bai Mengfei walked along, observing her surroundings as she tried to find some clues.

Looking at this dimly lit place, which was still not bright enough even with the lights on, Bai Mengfei thought to herself.

It's really difficult to find anyone here.

Besides, Pan Hu might play hide-and-seek with the police; there are quite a few places to hide in this area.

Bai Mengfei frowned secretly, and while thinking, she followed Xiang Yuntian to Zhao Fei's side.

Zhao Fei looked at him and then explained the general situation to him.

Xiang Yuntian listened attentively to Zhao Fei's account and made a rough analysis in his mind, but given the current situation, he felt that finding that guy would be no easy task.

Just as Xiang Yuntian was troubled by this, Bai Mengfei suddenly noticed a flash of light in the darkness.

She immediately stopped and walked in that direction.

Seeing this, Pan Li quickly followed.

At that moment, Xiang Yuntian was squatting down to examine the body and did not notice this scene.

Bai Mengfei and Pan Li left the police's protection area and walked to an extremely dark place.

There is a very dilapidated staircase here, and the steps on the staircase are quite high.

Looking up, you can see a lot of miscellaneous items piled up on top.

Bai Mengfei originally wanted to go up and check it herself, but Pan Li followed closely behind, insisting on going together.

Bai Mengfei stopped and turned to look at her, asking, "What are you doing?"

Pan Li smiled sweetly and said, "To protect you! Look at you, always overthinking things and wandering around, it's not safe for you."

The tone of her voice was like an older sister taking care of a younger sister.

Bai Mengfei simply smiled and said nothing more.

The two went up to the second floor together, and Bai Mengfei's sharp eyes immediately noticed a person hiding behind a blue bucket.

It was a middle-aged man, around forty years old, squatting there, trembling all over.

Bai Mengfei knew that as a girl, she was no match for him, so she didn't approach rashly. Instead, she stood still and asked, "Hey, are you Pan Hu?"

Pan Hu peeked out and saw that Bai Mengfei was just a teenage girl, so he immediately relaxed his guard.

He thought about rushing over and grabbing Bai Mengfei.

Seeing a grown man suddenly rush towards her, Bai Mengfei's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously took two steps back.

Unexpectedly, Pan Li stood behind her and protected her.

Pan Hu rushed over in the blink of an eye and grabbed Pan Li in his arms.

Pan Li was startled and gasped. As she backed away, her foot suddenly slipped and she missed her footing.

Instantly, she fell to the ground.

Bai Mengfei, who was standing in front of her and was trying to back away, also fell down.

The loud bang caught Xiang Yuntian's attention from a distance.

"Did you hear anything?"

Xiang Yuntian panicked and turned to ask the policeman next to him.

The police officers nearby shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't heard anything.

Xiang Yuntian looked around but couldn't see Bai Mengfei and Pan Li, and he had a bad feeling.

He hurriedly followed the direction of the sound and walked quickly to find it.

At the same time, Pan Hu vaguely recognized Pan Li, who looked a lot like his daughter, so he didn't make a move.

He stared at Pan Li in disbelief, wondering how these two girls had ended up here.

"What are you doing here?" he asked in a low voice.

Bai Mengfei replied, "Your phone must have flashed just now. It's so dark here that even the faintest light seems extremely glaring."

Pan Hu then realized what was happening and hurriedly took out his phone to turn it off.

But at that moment, the light emitted by the phone became even more dazzling.

Xiang Yuntian spotted the light immediately and ran towards it. His footsteps alerted Pan Hu.

Hearing hurried footsteps, Pan Hu turned around. Seeing a young man, Pan Hu picked up the bucket next to him with both hands and smashed it down hard.

Xiang Yuntian quickly raised his right hand, trying to block the bucket of water.

The bucket slammed heavily onto his wrist, causing him pain as if his wrist were about to break.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Lately, I seem to have had some bad luck; one thing after another keeps happening.

Previously, I was responsible for preliminary autopsies and evidence searches at crime scenes, and rarely had any direct confrontations with suspects, so there was no way I was injured.

However, recently, things have clearly become more complicated.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Looking at Pan Hu rushing forward, Xiang Yuntian narrowed his eyes and stared intently at him.
