Another officer suddenly stood up, chuckled dryly, and said, "Don't worry, we don't have many children left."

Seeing their nonchalant attitude, Bai Mengfei was instantly furious.

This time, she simply pulled out a chair, plopped down, crossed her legs, and casually rested her right hand on the table next to her.

This series of powerful and impressive moves was executed flawlessly in one go, truly astonishing everyone.

It's truly astonishing that a seemingly delicate little girl could exude such a mature and composed aura.

"What are you looking at?" Bai Mengfei made no attempt to hide her fierceness: "Give me all the case files you've kept on record over the years. I need to review them. Especially that divorce case involving the man surnamed Lu from a few years ago."

When Bai Mengfei mentioned this last sentence, almost all the police officers were stunned.

They were filled with doubt: how did Bai Mengfei know about this?

Their local customs have always been conservative, so why does Bai Mengfei know so much about these things?

Just as everyone was racking their brains trying to figure it out, Bai Mengfei asked coldly, "What are you all standing there for? Get moving!"

The police officers then quickly sprang into action.

Before long, a stack of files, more than ten centimeters thick, was brought over.

One officer said, "All the cases from these years are here."

"Oh." Bai Mengfei turned her head seemingly casually to look at the pile of documents, and then casually began to flip through them.

To outsiders, she appeared to be casually flipping through the pages, but in reality, Bai Mengfei had used her keen eyes to quickly scan through many contents and memorized a great deal of key information.

The police officers were unaware of Bai Mengfei's abilities, and upon seeing her begin to examine the situation, they went back to their own tasks.

Bai Mengfei finally finished reading all the documents by sunset.

Although Xiang Yuntian was also helping to check, he wasn't very enthusiastic about it, so he only looked at very little of it.

"You've finally finished reading it. What are your thoughts?" Xiang Yuntian asked.

Upon hearing the sound, Bai Mengfei instinctively turned her head.

On the surface, she seemed to be gazing at Xiang Yuntian, but in reality, her thoughts had already drifted far away, and she was immersed in her own thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Yuntian asked softly.

Bai Mengfei then gently shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

"Oh," Xiang Yuntian replied in a low voice.

After all, he had studied psychology, so how could he not see that Bai Mengfei seemed reluctant to tell him something?

Because of what happened that night, Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei neither went to look at houses nor looked for a place to rent, but stayed at the police station instead.

Back in the dormitory, Xiang Yuntian focused intently on the documents in order to gain a deeper understanding of the clues Bai Mengfei was interested in. Even though Bai Mengfei was already exhausted and fast asleep in bed, he continued to study them with unwavering focus.

As night deepened, Bai Mengfei slept peacefully in bed.

Xiang Yuntian sat against the wall, fighting off waves of drowsiness, his eyes never leaving the documents.

As a man, Xiang Yuntian's dedication and commitment to the case are truly admirable.

At this moment, Bai Mengfei appeared to be fast asleep, but that was not the case. Her mind was still racing, with those bizarre cases constantly flashing through her mind.

The cases that have occurred over the years kept replaying in her mind.

In her half-awake, illogical dream, these cases were linked together by some invisible force, like beads on a bracelet.

The motive of the mysterious person seems to be closely linked to something—superstition.

He seemed to be trying to create an atmosphere of something cursed about this place.

But why would this person do that?

Who is the culprit behind this?

Meanwhile, Xiang Yuntian, who was still reviewing the documents, also gained some insights.

He was so excited he wanted to snap his fingers, but he was worried about disturbing Bai Mengfei who was fast asleep, so he had to suppress his excitement.

He had already noticed some clues from the cases over the years.

He understood it in his heart.

There must be someone in this town whose purpose is to mislead the public using superstition.

Could it be that the developer is behind this?

Both Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei harbored this suspicion, but neither of them voiced it.

They speculated that the developers might be trying to scare away the residents whose homes were being demolished by talking about ghosts and spirits!

Yes, that's highly likely.

So, Bai Mengfei secretly made a decision: she would visit the developers in this area tomorrow to find out the specifics.

It wasn't until a little after five o'clock the next morning that Bai Mengfei slowly woke up, only to find that Xiang Yuntian seemed to have already fallen asleep.

Not wanting to disturb him, Bai Mengfei gently draped a blanket over him.

Seeing Xiang Yuntian fast asleep, looking exhausted, with the documents in his hand, Bai Mengfei felt a pang of guilt. She realized she had perhaps gone too far in how she had treated him the day before.

It's true that I shouldn't take my anger out on him because of the pressure of the case, which would damage our relationship.

But what can be done now that it has already happened?

Thinking of this, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but sigh.

In the early hours of the morning, she sat alone in front of Xiang Yuntian.

At this moment, Xiang Yuntian was fast asleep, completely unaware that Bai Mengfei was quietly watching him.

Around seven or eight in the morning, Xiang Yuntian was suddenly awakened from his sleep, letting out a cry of "Ah!"

In the instant he looked down and then quickly looked up, he realized that Bai Mengfei had been watching him the whole time.

Bai Mengfei was worried that he might fall due to being suddenly awakened, so she quickly stepped closer and reached out her right hand to steady him.

This series of actions appeared urgent and concerned.

In that instant, Xiang Yuntian sensed Bai Mengfei's concern for him and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Seeing this, Bai Mengfei secretly turned her head away, pretending to be nonchalant.

"You're awake?" Xiang Yuntian asked gently with a smile.

To conceal her inner concern, Bai Mengfei did not turn around to look at Xiang Yuntian, but simply gave a curt "hmm".

Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath and then said, "Then let's go get something to eat together?"

Bai Mengfei was making plans in her mind.

This way, I can conveniently investigate the developer along the way.

So she agreed to Xiang Yuntian's offer.

In fact, little did they know that Xiang Yuntian was thinking the same thing at that moment.

Around 9 a.m., the two carried the documents back to the police station, returned them to the file book, and then began a new search.

They were heading to the company that was responsible for contracting the projects in the area; their office was not far from here.

Along the way, they simply bought some steamed buns.

"When we meet them, I'll be the one to ask them what's going on," Xiang Yuntian told Bai Mengfei on the way, worried that her directness might cause her trouble.

Bai Mengfei understood Xiang Yuntian's good intentions and nodded in agreement, "I understand."
