A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

At this moment, Bai Mengfei looked at her reflection in the mirror, which resembled that of a teenage girl, and felt a deep sense of helplessness and resentment.

Not only has his appearance changed so drastically, but even some of his original close-combat skills have become much less powerful due to his small size.

In a fit of anger, she clenched her right fist and slammed it hard against the sink.

With a crisp sound, the water in the sink splashed out instantly, soaking her clothes.

Hearing the noise outside, Xiang Yuntian was startled and worried that something had happened to Bai Mengfei, so he rushed into the bathroom.

Upon entering, seeing her soaking wet and disheveled appearance, I immediately understood what had happened.

"Are you alright?" Xiang Yuntian asked softly, slowly approaching her.

However, before he could get close, Bai Mengfei suddenly raised her right hand and shouted, "Don't come any closer!"

Xiang Yuntian quickly stopped and looked at her helplessly, asking, "Why?"

"I just want to be alone right now, can you understand?" Bai Mengfei turned her head to look at Xiang Yuntian. At this moment, her hair was messy, and there were a few drops of liquid on her face, which she couldn't tell was water or tears. She looked disheveled.

Seeing this, Xiang Yuntian could only nod slightly to show that he understood her meaning, and then slowly backed away step by step.

Seeing her sobbing softly, Xiang Yuntian felt a pang of heartache and couldn't help but want to go closer and comfort her.

But seeing that she seemed to want to be alone, he stopped where he was and silently kept her company.

After a long while, Bai Mengfei slowly spoke: "I'm feeling a little better now. Okay, to be honest with you, I just want to be independent, you understand?"

After speaking, she raised her head and looked at Xiang Yuntian with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"I know," Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly and said affirmatively.

Bai Mengfei sobbed again before slowly walking towards Xiang Yuntian.

She came to Xiang Yuntian's side, knowing that he might not dare to hug her at this moment, so she raised her hands, gently pulled on Xiang Yuntian's clothes, and rested her face against his chest.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Yuntian quickly raised his hands, gently hugged her, and patted her back softly.

Bai Mengfei didn't speak, but buried her face in Xiang Yuntian's arms and burst into tears.

The crying was filled with endless desolation and grievance.

Xiang Yuntian was filled with anxiety and wanted to comfort her, but he really didn't understand what the girl was thinking at that moment, so he could only stay with her silently.

After crying for a while, Bai Mengfei finally raised her head, looked at Xiang Yuntian with teary eyes, and asked, "Are you feeling sorry for me now?"

Xiang Yuntian was taken aback, and quickly shook his head, saying, "No, I don't pity you. It's just..."

As he finished speaking, he lowered his head, a hint of nervousness appearing on his face.

Bai Mengfei saw through it at a glance; Xiang Yuntian's concern for her was far beyond what was expected. She nodded understandingly and said, "Go on."

At this moment, Bai Mengfei was incredibly vulnerable. She would probably agree to any request Xiang Yuntian made without hesitation.

But who knew that Xiang Yuntian would lose his courage at this moment and dare not express his love again, only saying softly, "I just hope you can be alright."

These words filled Bai Mengfei with disappointment. She gently pushed Xiang Yuntian away and said, "Never mind, I'll go and rest first."

Xiang Yuntian stood there, at a loss for what to do, and could only watch Bai Mengfei leave.

After Bai Mengfei left, Xiang Yuntian did not return to his bed, but instead made an appointment with his good brother Jiang Shuai.

Considering that the dormitory had been rather unsettled lately, he invited Jiang Shuai here for a heart-to-heart talk.

Bai Mengfei naturally knew when Jiang Shuai arrived.

But she never liked to meddle in men's affairs, so she lay on the bed, staring at the wall, quietly pondering her own thoughts.

Jiang Shuai and Xiang Yuntian stood in the outer corridor, talking quietly.

Xiang Yuntian said to Jiang Shuai with a troubled expression, "I feel like all the mind-reading skills I learned were for nothing."

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Shuai asked with a helpless smile.

Xiang Yuntian sighed inwardly, shook his head, and said, "I can't explain it either. But lately my condition has been getting worse and worse, and I really feel like something is wrong with me."

Are you sick in the head?

Jiang Shuai subconsciously turned to look at the dormitory, and said with a wry smile, "You called me all this way just to show off your love to me and tell me you've fallen in love?"

"What are you talking about? Are you out of your mind?" Xiang Yuntian frowned, looking at Jiang Shuai with a suspicious expression.

Jiang Shuai reached out and patted Xiang Yuntian on the shoulder, laughing as he said, "What? Isn't that right? I think you've been blinded by love, and your emotions have clouded your judgment."

After saying that, seeing that Xiang Yuntian didn't respond, Jiang Shuai asked again, "By the way, what are you doing in this remote, godforsaken place?"

Hearing this, Xiang Yuntian, who was still reflecting, turned to look at Jiang Shuai.

"I didn't do anything!"

"Really nothing?" Jiang Shuai revealed a proud smile: "I think you're here to investigate a case, right? We've been brothers for so many years, you really don't need to be so polite with me, afraid of troubling me. I'm happy to be able to help you. Besides, I think this place is much better than abroad, and I plan to stay here for a long time."

When Xiang Yuntian heard Jiang Shuai say he wanted to stay as well, he was overjoyed, since he didn't have many close friends here.

He thought about it seriously for a moment, then asked excitedly, "Really?"

“That’s definitely true,” Jiang Shuai replied with a smile.

Just then, a cold voice came from behind them: "That's good."

The two quickly turned around and saw that Bai Mengfei had come out at some point.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shuai hurriedly and warmly greeted Bai Mengfei: "Hey, hello there, future sister-in-law."

He jokingly remarked that in his mind, Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei were a good match, but not now, but in the future.

Bai Mengfei chuckled inwardly, but her expression remained icy.

"Don't joke like that." Xiang Yuntian nudged Jiang Shuai with his elbow.

Jiang Shuai said with a grin, "Just kidding, it's okay, right?"

Not wanting to cause any unpleasantness between the two of them because of her, Bai Mengfei walked over and changed the subject, saying to Jiang Shuai, "I really have to thank you for last time."

"What was it? I've forgotten." Jiang Shuai scratched his head; with his carefree personality, he really didn't remember things very well.

Bai Mengfei had no choice but to remind him: "It was that night that I asked you to help me find information on those female victims."

"Oh, is that what it is!" Jiang Shuai recalled carefully for a moment, then said, "By the way, I brought you some news while I was here. Zhao Fei ran into me at the supermarket the other day and asked me to tell you about the latest situation from above. Another female victim has been murdered."

Upon hearing this news, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian's expressions instantly turned serious.

They all knew in their hearts that this meant the "serial murder case" was still ongoing and the killer was still at large.

Xiang Yuntian gritted his teeth and said decisively, "Therefore, we must solve this case as soon as possible."

Bai Mengfei slowly shook her head, her expression worried, and said, "It's not that easy. Our city police department is full of talented people. Even when we teamed up with them before, they had no clue. This murderer is definitely not an ordinary person."
