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

Chapter 278 Seeking Assistance

The three of them stared at each other coldly, but none of them spoke.

After a while, Bai Mengfei broke the silence first, saying, "Do you still intend to deny your crimes to the end?"

"Have I committed a crime?" Zheng Yueru smiled contemptuously, a smile that was extremely infuriating and full of utter disdain. "Heh, if you think I'm guilty, you can sue me right now. But I will not plead guilty, and even if you try to extract a confession through torture, it will absolutely not work on me."

Bai Mengfei couldn't help but turn her head and whisper in Xiang Yuntian's ear, "It seems this woman is really a difficult character to deal with."

Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly, and then he and Bai Mengfei stared coldly at Zheng Yueru.

Zheng Yueru still wore that arrogant smile, and a sly look flashed in her eyes.

Bai Mengfei quietly looked back at her and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to plead guilty?"

"I'm sure that even if you beat me to death, I won't confess. Because I have absolutely no motive for committing a crime, right?"

"Isn't the motive to seize the family property?" Xiang Yuntian asked.

Zheng Yueru smiled again and said, "No, because if Li Tie hadn't inherited that family fortune, he would definitely have donated it to charity. I know my grandfather's character; he's a complete sexist."

Upon hearing this, a thought suddenly flashed through Bai Mengfei's mind.

She pondered for a while and then thought of a possibility.

Given Zheng Yueru's current fame, status, and position, she doesn't actually lack that money. She might be doing this just to prove herself!

After thinking it through, Bai Mengfei didn't say anything. She just stood up, gently patted Xiang Yuntian's shoulder, and gestured for him to come out with her.

After the two went outside, Bai Mengfei said to Xiang Yuntian, "This woman may have done this just to prove a point. But if we use such an absurd reason as her motive for the crime in court, it will be difficult for us to stand up to it."

Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his arms to his chest, nodded in agreement, and said, "Yes, the judge won't believe it, but that seems to be the prosecutor's duty. What we need to do is simply bring her to court and present the relevant evidence, right?"

“The relevant evidence is indeed crucial.” Bai Mengfei lowered her head, her face unconsciously revealing a solemn expression. “However, the evidence we currently have is not sufficient; we only have Fan Tian’s one-sided confession. You know what kind of person Fan Tian is; it would be strange if anyone believed him.”

“Then we can work with the criminal police to investigate that money. I believe we will soon be able to prove that she hired someone to commit murder.”

Bai Mengfei suddenly felt that Xiang Yuntian's suggestion was quite good, so she nodded silently.

After confirming, Bai Mengfei looked at Xiang Yuntian and said, "Okay, let's do it this way! I'll go talk to Zhao Fei about this now." After saying that, Bai Mengfei was about to walk past Xiang Yuntian.

Xiang Yuntian quickly grabbed her hand and asked, "What are you going to say?"

"Me?" Bai Mengfei smiled slightly and said, "I'm going to find Zhao Fei now, explain the whole story to him, and ask Wang Tian to assist us in the investigation."

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian immediately showed a surprised expression and asked in astonishment, "Wang Tian?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Bai Mengfei asked softly.

Xiang Yuntian shook his head secretly and said, "No problem, but I thought you would never cooperate with her again! After all, she made such a serious mistake last time."

"Do you think I'm such a petty person?" Bai Mengfei put her hand on Xiang Yuntian's shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't be silly, no one is perfect."

Xiang Yuntian felt that Bai Mengfei's words made sense, so he took a deep breath and nodded in agreement with her point of view.

Meanwhile, he followed behind Bai Mengfei, accompanying her to find Zhao Fei. Why did he accompany her? Because he was worried about Bai Mengfei's fiery temper; what if she and Zhao Fei got into another argument?

In the past, things wouldn't have been like this. Because Bai Mengfei was highly experienced and senior, Zhao Fei would have always given her some leeway, no matter what.

But now that Bai Mengfei has been reborn, in Zhao Fei's eyes, she is just a girl who has just turned 18.

Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian arrived at Zhao Fei's office together. This time, Bai Mengfei did not push the door open directly, but knocked on it first.

Upon hearing the knock, Zhao Fei immediately said in his slightly mature tone, "Come in!"

Bai Mengfei then turned the doorknob, pushed open the door, and went inside.

Upon entering, Bai Mengfei saw Zhao Fei working. She didn't speak immediately, but planned to wait until Zhao Fei finished his work before speaking.

Zhao Fei noticed that she and Xiang Yuntian were standing in front of him without saying a word. Feeling something was amiss, he looked up at them and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"There must be something wrong, otherwise I wouldn't have come," Xiang Yuntian said with a smile.

Zhao Fei immediately put down his pen and asked, "How's the investigation into Zheng Yueru's case going? Have you made any progress?"

“No, the evidence is insufficient at the moment,” Bai Mengfei finally said. “The evidence we currently have is only Fan Tian’s one-sided testimony, so it’s difficult to establish the charges. We need more compelling evidence.”

"Hmm?" Zhao Fei looked puzzled.

Bai Mengfei thought Zhao Fei didn't understand this point, so she continued, "The criminal law clearly stipulates that a confession cannot be used as evidence for conviction on its own."

Before Bai Mengfei could finish speaking, Zhao Fei hurriedly interrupted her, saying, "No, that's not what I wanted to ask. I want to know, what exactly are you referring to as 'strong evidence'?"

“Physical evidence, I need concrete physical evidence, as well as relevant receipts issued by authoritative institutions.”

Hearing Bai Mengfei say this, Zhao Fei became even more puzzled. He looked at Bai Mengfei with expectant eyes, hoping that she could explain herself clearly in one go.

Bai Mengfei understood Zhao Fei's meaning and said, "I need you to send someone to assist us, preferably someone we know well, so that it will be easier to investigate the case."

In order to solve the case, Zhao Fei naturally agreed and asked, "So who do you want to find? Or should I just send someone randomly?"
