Chapter 267 Overturning the verdict
"Wouldn't this make me wrongly accuse an innocent person?"
Bai Mengfei glared angrily at Zheng Yueru and said.
Zheng Yueru smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, I don't care about any of that. Anyway, it's settled. If you don't do as I say, you know the consequences."
Bai Mengfei was well aware of the consequences, but she still refused to compromise.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, she resolutely turned her face away and walked to the side.
Seeing this, Zheng Yueru quickly followed, even strode up behind her and grabbed her arm. Bai Mengfei immediately turned around, looked at Zheng Yueru, and questioned, "What do you mean by this?"
"You really aren't going to help me?"
“Yes, I would never do something that goes against my principles. You can do whatever you want, but I will definitely take your brother to court.”
Bai Mengfei always kept her word, so the next day, she indeed produced all the evidence and took Li Tie to court.
After being brought to court, Li Tie refused to plead guilty, but the evidence was conclusive and he had no choice but to deny it.
After the case was closed, Bai Mengfei did not hear any negative news about herself.
Why didn't Zheng Yueru do as she was threatened?
Bai Mengfei found it very strange.
Another day passed, and Bai Mengfei still felt that there must be something fishy about the matter, so she immediately called Zhao Fei and asked him to help investigate.
After checking, Zhao Fei told her, "Zheng Yueru doesn't have a younger brother at all."
What exactly happened? The case suddenly became complicated and baffling, leaving people scratching their heads in confusion.
Bai Mengfei immediately went to Zheng Yueru's clubhouse, wanting to get to the bottom of things.
Zheng Yueru said, "Hehe, you don't even understand the art of playing hard to get? You're a forensic doctor, how can you be so slow-witted!"
Bai Mengfei gasped and asked, "Then why did you do that?" At the same time, she realized a serious problem: she might have wronged Li Tie.
"You've really driven me crazy," Bai Mengfei said angrily, glaring at Zheng Yueru.
Zheng Yueru chuckled calmly and said, "Isn't that what you brought on yourself? If you had listened to me earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
"So you really tricked me? In other words, Li Tie isn't the real murderer?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Zheng Yueru nodded gently and said, "That's right, he is indeed not the murderer. So, you made a mistake, understand?"
Bai Mengfei was furious and could no longer control her temper. She raised her right hand, grabbed Zheng Yueru by the collar, pulled her in front of her, and questioned, "Why did you do this to me?"
"Hehe, I did hurt you, so what can you do to me?" Zheng Yueru said arrogantly.
Bai Mengfei's eyes narrowed, revealing a ruthless look. She said, "I may not be able to defeat you now, but you'd better not fall into my hands, or I will make sure you suffer."
After leaving Zheng Yueru's club, Bai Mengfei walked down the street in a depressed mood.
At this moment, Xiang Yuntian came out to handle some official business. He had just finished investigating a hotel that had been robbed and was preparing to go back.
He happened to see Bai Mengfei walking alone on the street looking dejected, so he immediately stopped the car, ran over quickly, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Mengfei only noticed his presence when she heard the voice, and looked up at him. Then, Bai Mengfei gently shook her head, revealing a blank expression.
"I'm fine, just feeling a little unwell."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian quickly turned to his car and said to Bai Mengfei, "Get in! I'm heading back to the police station anyway, I'll give you a ride home."
Without a second thought, Bai Mengfei nodded and agreed, "Okay, we'll talk about it when we get back."
The two then returned to the police station together.
Back at the police station, Bai Mengfei found an opportunity to tell Xiang Yuntian the whole story. However, Xiang Yuntian disagreed with Bai Mengfei's assessment.
Because Bai Mengfei intends to personally overturn her previous evidence and prove Li Tie's innocence. In doing so, in the eyes of the public, Bai Mengfei would be as if she had slapped herself in the face.
Even if Zhao Fei knew about this, he wouldn't agree to Bai Mengfei doing this.
So Xiang Yuntian had no choice but to bring up Zhao Fei, saying, "If Captain Zhao finds out about this, he definitely won't agree to it. You can try it if you don't believe me."
"That's not necessarily true." Bai Mengfei was really planning to give it a try.
This really worried Xiang Yuntian!
Xiang Yuntian knew Zhao Fei's character well; he was extremely concerned about his reputation, even valuing it more than his life. Therefore, he would not only oppose the matter but might also reprimand Bai Mengfei.
Seeing that Bai Mengfei had actually gone, Xiang Yuntian hurriedly chased after her. But he was still a step too late. Bai Mengfei walked into Zhao Fei's office first and said to Zhao Fei, "Captain Zhao, I think Li Tie is very likely innocent. I am now applying for a reinvestigation to clear his name."
Upon hearing this news, Zhao Fei immediately stood up, his face filled with shock, and asked, "What are you thinking? You actually want to overturn the case of the person you personally accused?"
“Yes, why not?” Bai Mengfei appeared calm and composed.
Zhao Fei sneered in anger and slowly walked over, saying as he walked, "No! By doing this, not only is it that you personally acted too rashly, but the reputation of the entire police station will also be completely ruined because of you."
“What if I say no, Captain Zhao? Please believe me this once. Compared to that, the suspect’s innocence is far more important. We must give him justice; human rights come first!”
Bai Mengfei's words left Zhao Fei speechless for a moment, but he still maintained his opposition, keeping a sullen face and remaining silent.
Bai Mengfei smiled gently and said, "You dare to say it isn't true? That's why I'm asking to be allowed to investigate this case. At worst, I'll resign, is that alright? But I must clear Li Tie's name. If he really did commit the murder, he won't escape the punishment of the law."
Xiang Yuntian naturally sided with Bai Mengfei, so he spoke up for her: "Yes, Captain Zhao, just listen to Bai Mengfei this time. I think she's right."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Fei immediately looked up at him with some displeasure.
However, Zhao Fei didn't say anything more, since everyone knew that Xiang Yuntian's family background was not something that ordinary people could afford to offend.
