Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's final question, Zhao Fei hurriedly replied, "It's all gone! The body of Forensic Doctor Xiang's mother has been handed over to other forensic doctors for autopsy, and it has already been cremated."

"Oh," Bai Mengfei responded softly, then fell silent.

Back in the morgue, she began some basic examinations of the living body. However, halfway through, she suddenly sensed something amiss. She frowned slightly and, guided by her extraordinary intuition, slowly turned her head.

She turned her head and realized that it was Old Chen walking over.

"Old Chen, what brings you here?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Old Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, I just came to see you. After all, I heard you went through such a big thing."

"Yes. If there's nothing else, you can go now."

"Okay!" Old Chen readily agreed.

Bai Mengfei turned back and continued to focus on investigating and examining the physical evidence.

Zhang Jie was busy until the end of the workday, and he offered to take her home with him, but she refused. She was secretly planning to face the murderer alone and deliberately lure him out.

At night, instead of taking a car, she deliberately chose to walk along a dark road. She knew that such a road would be an excellent opportunity for those with ill intentions to strike.

After taking a few steps forward, Bai Mengfei keenly sensed that someone was following her. However, she didn't make a sound and continued walking as if nothing was wrong.

A moment later, she felt something touch her shoulder.

She turned her head and was surprised to find that it was an arm. She quickly followed the arm with her eyes.

The person standing behind her was none other than Wang Tian.

Wang Tian sighed helplessly and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to some meat. After all, today is your first day back at work after recovering, and since Captain Zhao didn't offer anything, I'll reward you on his behalf."

"No need," Bai Mengfei declined, actually worried that Wang Tian would be implicated innocently. "I can walk back by myself."

“But your home is quite far from here,” Wang Tian reminded her.

Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment and then decisively said, "It doesn't matter if it's a bit far. Just treat it as exercise and a way to stay fit."

Hearing Bai Mengfei's firm stance, Wang Tian could only nod and admonish, "Alright then, you must be careful by yourself. Always be mindful of safety, understand?"

Despite Wang Tian's repeated warnings, Bai Mengfei insisted on going alone. She was gambling that the murderer would take this opportunity to come out and deal with her, or even try to kill her.

For Xiang Yuntian's father, she decided to take the risk.

Not long after, she realized someone was following her. Thinking it was Wang Tian who hadn't left yet, she stopped and turned around to check.

As soon as she turned her head, two blinding beams of light shone directly at her, making it impossible for her to open her eyes.

Because the lights were too blinding, she immediately raised her left hand to shield her eyes. Just then, a car sped towards her.

Bai Mengfei instantly realized that the car was aimed at her life. If she didn't run now, when would she?

Without hesitation, she turned and ran, moving at breakneck speed. The car pursued her relentlessly, cornering her in a dead end.

Fortunately, the dead end was quite narrow, and cars couldn't drive in. Bai Mengfei saw a wall at the end, with some miscellaneous items piled up beside it.

In order to survive, she quickly moved the debris to place under her feet, and then used it to climb over the wall and escape successfully.

After climbing over the wall, she arrived at another place. Here, the traffic was heavy and the lights were flashing, so she couldn't see her surroundings clearly for a moment.

She ran frantically through the lights, terrified.

She ran for a while before stopping, hands on her knees, head down, panting heavily. After a long pause, she finally let out a long sigh of relief.

She then staggered back to Chapter's home.

When Zhang saw her return, looking somewhat disheveled, he quickly went over and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Hearing Zhang Jie's concern, she looked up at him, then gently shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

Zhang nodded in relief, looked her up and down, and said, "It's good that you're alright."

"Mmm," she responded softly, and then returned to her room.

Back in her room, she quickly took a shower. While showering, her emotions were as complex as her thoughts, as if two completely different forces were fiercely clashing within her.

She both hated herself for not staying to confront the other party, and felt that even if she had stayed, she might have lost her life.

After thinking for a long time, she finally came out of the bathroom and lay down on the bed. But she didn't fall asleep; instead, she lay quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling above her head, lost in thought.

In truth, she had already temporarily let go of her feelings when she parted ways with Xiang Yuntian. She was genuinely sad, but her feigned mental lapse was also intentional. She did this simply to lure out the person behind her and expose her true colors.

It wasn't until reporter Zhang Shun appeared that she decided to confront the suspect directly, which is why she pretended to be recovering from a serious illness.

After silently recalling the events, she gently closed her eyes and silently urged herself to fall asleep.

After she fell asleep, she was unaware that Zhang Jie had been guarding her at the door, protecting her safety.

The next morning, she and Zhang had breakfast together and then went to the police station together.

As soon as they returned to the police station, they saw Zhao Fei looking hurried, as if he was about to go somewhere.

Curious, Zhang asked, "Captain Zhao, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"

Upon hearing Zhang Jie's question, Zhao Fei took a deep breath and said, "Oh, it's so good that you two are back. I was worried you wouldn't come back."

Zhang looked puzzled and asked, "Captain Zhao, has something happened?"

"Something terrible has happened! Another female corpse has been found, this time in the library. The library manager was so scared that he cried on the phone when he called the police."

As he spoke, Zhao Fei looked up at Bai Mengfei.
