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

Chapter 404 Trust

"But even if I want to sleep now, I can't." Qi Han surprisingly indicated that she didn't want to fall asleep.

Bai Mengfei nodded helplessly and had no choice but to sit with her.

The two sat silently beside each other, each harboring their own secrets. Bai Mengfei was certain that Qi Han had lied to her and was hiding something from her, and her heart was filled with suspicion towards her.

Qi Han, on the other hand, continued to keep her secret and remained silent.

But what exactly was she hiding? This puzzled Bai Mengfei greatly.

And so, the two spent a restless night, neither sleeping a wink. They were both wary of each other. It wasn't until dawn that Bai Mengfei spoke first, asking, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Qi Han turned her head in a daze and said, "No!"

"No?" Bai Mengfei felt that some things needed to be clarified. "I am a forensic doctor. You said you bumped your head accidentally, but I know in my heart that you were hit! And if it had been just a little bit off, hitting your forehead or temple, it could have killed you! Why did you lie to me? Do you have a grudge against someone?"

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Qi Han panicked, her eyes darting around nervously, and her fingers unconsciously gripping the hem of her clothes tightly. Seeing her uneasy state, Bai Mengfei immediately realized: she was hiding something!

Having worked with Xiang Yuntian for so long, Bai Mengfei has not come away empty-handed; she has mastered some skills in understanding people's hearts.

Seeing Qi Han's evasive gaze, Bai Mengfei quickly stood up and walked directly to Qi Han's side. Worried that Bai Mengfei would see through her act, Qi Han quietly turned her face away.

Bai Mengfei seized the opportunity and pressed, "What exactly are you hiding? If you really want my help, tell me the truth! Actually, even if you don't tell me, I can pretty much guess what's going on!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Qi Han suddenly lowered her head and began to cry.

Although Bai Mengfei felt a pang of sympathy, she did not soften her stance in order to uncover the truth. Instead, she said seriously, "Tell me! Only by telling me can we perhaps solve the case and break that so-called curse!"

Qi Han thought for a moment, then cried and said, "The injury on my head was inflicted by Sheng Yang! Because I not only chatted with Linghu Bin, but we also secretly met once in private!"

"Just because of this, Shengyang wants to kill you?" Bai Mengfei asked incredulously.

Don't forget, Bai Mengfei also understands Shengyang and knows his personality.

Under Bai Mengfei's persistent questioning, Qi Han knew she couldn't escape her keen eyes, so she had no choice but to tell the truth: "Okay, actually it wasn't just once, but several times. On one occasion, I even went to a hotel with Linghu Bin, and we were caught by Shengyang as soon as we came out! But family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, so only Shengyang and I know about these things."

No wonder Shengyang never told the police about this.

Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment, her feelings somewhat complicated. After consideration, she decided to voice her doubts: "And then, because you suffered domestic violence, you killed Shengyang with that Linghu Bin?"

"No! I didn't!" Qi Han cried out, clutching Bai Mengfei's clothes tightly, her eyes brimming with tears. "I did something wrong to him, and I deserved to be beaten. How could I have wanted to kill him because of that? I really didn't!"

Bai Mengfei carefully observed her expression and felt that she didn't seem to be lying, so she chose to believe her.

After nodding slightly, Bai Mengfei frowned again, looked up and asked, "Then what about Linghu Bin? Does he know about Shengyang hitting you?" Bai Mengfei felt that Linghu Bin was highly suspicious.

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's question, Qi Han immediately understood what she was thinking and hurriedly replied, "No, Linghu Bin wouldn't kill anyone!"

"Does he know or not?" Bai Mengfei asked again seriously.

Qi Han frowned, bit her lower lip, and remained silent for more than three minutes before nodding and replying, "He knows."

Bai Mengfei had already listed Linghu Bin as the prime suspect, so she stood up and decided to return to the police station to investigate him using the police system. If necessary, she would have Zhao Fei make the arrest.

Seeing that Bai Mengfei was about to leave, Qi Han knew what she was going to do, so he quickly reached out and grabbed Bai Mengfei's hand to stop her from leaving.

Bai Mengfei stopped in her tracks when Qi Han pulled her like that.

"Why are you pulling me?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Qi Han slid off the edge of the bed and knelt on the floor with a thud.

Bai Mengfei was startled and quickly went to help her up, saying, "What are you doing? Get up!"

"No! I won't get up!" Qi Han looked at Bai Mengfei with teary eyes. "The murderer is definitely not Linghu Bin! He's a volunteer teacher at a rural primary school now. He's so kind, how could he possibly kill someone?"

"Human hearts are unpredictable!" Bai Mengfei said firmly.

Qi Han shook her head frantically, crying as she said, "No! Do you know why I like him? Back in school, I was rather timid, and he was the only one who would stand up for me! Even though he got beaten up in the end, and I didn't even have a chance to say thank you, he's really a good person. He wouldn't do something like murder! Please believe me!"

"People change!" Bai Mengfei tried to pull her hand away, but found that Qi Han was holding it very tightly.

She's determined to stop me.

Bai Mengfei felt sorry for her and slowly squatted down, patiently persuading her, "Actually, I didn't say that Linghu Bin is definitely the murderer. The police won't arrest people randomly. I'm just investigating now. If he is really innocent, I have no evidence to arrest him."

Despite her explanation, Qi Han still tugged at her clothes, worried that she would go back to the police station to arrest someone.

Seeing that she still wouldn't let go, Bai Mengfei tried to persuade her with her emotions, saying, "Silly girl! Since you trust him so much, why are you afraid that I will investigate him? Besides, the person who died was your husband! You also hope that your husband can clear his name in the afterlife and not have to bear the stigma of being a murderer, right? Letting me investigate is both a sign of trust in Linghu Bin and for your husband's sake."

After hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Qi Han was finally persuaded and choked back tears as she let go of Bai Mengfei's hand.

Just as Bai Mengfei was about to leave, Qi Han also stood up, insisting on going with her to help her investigate the case. Bai Mengfei understood that Qi Han wanted to keep an eye on her, fearing that she might wrongly accuse Linghu Bin.

Bai Mengfei wasn't afraid of her watching her investigate the case, so she agreed.
