Chapter 232 Suspect
Chapter 232 Suspect
She slowly walked forward, saying as she went, "Forensic Doctor Xiang, how did you end up like this?"
Bai Mengfei only then noticed her presence, turned to look at her, and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's find a place to eat something. Forensic Doctor Xiang is hungry too."
"Oh," Wang Tian replied with a hint of sadness.
When Wang Tian took Xiang Yuntian to a restaurant, the staff initially refused to let him in. Fortunately, Wang Tian had her police ID with her, so they reluctantly agreed.
However, while eating, the people in the restaurant always stared at Xiang Yuntian with strange eyes.
Why is this?
Because Xiang Yuntian hadn't showered for several days, he was filthy and looked like a beggar.
Bai Mengfei watched him eat and talked to him about the past, hoping to awaken his memories.
Xiang Yuntian seemed very thirsty and kept drinking water.
"Drink slowly, don't choke," Bai Mengfei said softly.
Xiang Yuntian just smiled blankly and didn't say anything more.
Bai Mengfei looked at him with eyes full of heartache, as if she were looking at her own child.
To be honest, Wang Tian no longer likes Xiang Yuntian.
She thought to herself, "If Xiang Yuntian continues like this for the rest of his life, I will definitely leave."
So she said to Bai Mengfei, "Zhang Ting, I don't know if the forensic doctor Xiang can be cured in his current state."
Bai Mengfei looked intently at Xiang Yuntian, her eyes filled with determination, and said firmly, "No matter what happens to Forensic Doctor Xiang, I will not leave him. Even if he cannot be cured, I will stay with him forever."
Hearing Bai Mengfei say this, Wang Tian could only say softly, "Me too."
Actually, that's not what she thought at all; she already had someone else in her heart—Qu Ying.
The saying "A friend in need is a friend indeed" is absolutely true.
Bai Mengfei is like that to Xiang Yuntian now; even in his most difficult time, when he might lose his memory forever, she is still willing to be good to him.
However, Bai Mengfei had not forgotten how Xiang Yuntian had treated her in the past.
Xiang Yuntian had always loved her deeply, helped her, and was even willing to give his life for her. So, Bai Mengfei felt it was only natural for her to take care of him now that he had become like this.
Wang Tian felt uncomfortable seeing the restaurant staff and the few customers staring at her like that, and even felt ashamed to be with Xiang Yuntian.
Finally, she stood up and said to Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian, "I want to go outside for some fresh air. I'm not feeling well right now."
"Go ahead." Bai Mengfei knew what she was thinking, but she didn't expose her.
After Wang Tian left, Bai Mengfei stayed behind and watched Xiang Yuntian.
At this time, Xiang Yuntian's IQ has declined, and he only knows that Bai Mengfei is good to him, so he is very dependent on Bai Mengfei.
As he ate, he looked up at Bai Mengfei and smiled foolishly, as if trying to please her.
He knew in his heart that if Bai Mengfei left too, he would be in big trouble. He would be covered in dirt, and if he tried to dine and dash, he would definitely get a good beating!
The shopkeeper was also worried. Seeing that Bai Mengfei looked young and that only she and Xiang Yuntian were left in the shop, he was concerned that they couldn't afford to pay the bill, so he came over to ask for the money.
Fortunately, Bai Mengfei still had a lot of salary and bonuses on her phone, so she scanned the code to pay for the meal.
This action caught Xiang Yuntian's attention and reminded him of something.
Once, he went out without his wallet, and Bai Mengfei ended up paying for it. The embarrassment he felt then is very similar to how he feels now.
Perhaps because of this strange feeling, his memories began to miraculously return.
He looked at Bai Mengfei, his eyes blinking slightly.
Bai Mengfei, unaware that he had already remembered something, smiled gently and asked, "What's wrong?"
“I…I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before,” Xiang Yuntian said.
Bai Mengfei gave a helpless, bitter smile, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
They'd not only met before, they'd almost been dating! Unfortunately, Xiang Yuntian remembers nothing about it now.
Bai Mengfei took a deep breath and smiled at Xiang Yuntian, saying, "It's okay, you'll remember it gradually in the future."
"Oh," Xiang Yuntian responded, seemingly understanding, and then continued eating.
After Xiang Yuntian had eaten for a while, Bai Mengfei asked again, "Are you full?"
Hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian realized he couldn't eat anymore, or he might get diarrhea. So he pulled out a tissue, wiped his mouth, and smiled at Bai Mengfei, saying, "I'm full!"
"Okay, that's good." Bai Mengfei looked at him gently.
Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly and said, "Shall we go then?"
"Let's go." Bai Mengfei felt relieved to see that he was quite sensible, at least knowing how to eat, drink, and take care of himself.
The two were about to leave when, before they even reached the door, they saw the police rushing in.
When Bai Mengfei first saw the police, she thought it was Zhao Fei and his group, but she didn't expect that the leader was Qu Ying.
Bai Mengfei had long seen through this man; he was a schemer!
So she immediately shielded Xiang Yuntian behind her and coldly confronted Qu Ying, who had just walked in.
"What are you doing here?" Bai Mengfei sensed that he was coming for her.
Qu Ying glanced around, gave a wry smile, and said to Bai Mengfei, "What's wrong? Can't I come here to have a meal? Of course, I'm not here to eat this time, I'm here to arrest a suspect!"
Bai Mengfei had anticipated his response, and with a slight smile, said, "Oh? Is that so? Where is the suspect? I haven't seen him."
Qu Ying immediately raised his right hand, pointed at Bai Mengfei, and said, "You are the suspect! Arrest her and forensic doctor Xiang!"
"Wait a minute!" Bai Mengfei raised her hands, stopping them from approaching. "No matter what evidence you can produce, we have alibis. We were both at the police station at the time. What makes you think we came here to kill people? Humph! Besides, we had no grudge against those two victims. You can't even confirm their identities, so how can you say we had a motive to kill them?"
For a moment, Qu Ying was speechless after being questioned by Bai Mengfei. It seemed that his plan to frame someone was going to fall through!
Bai Mengfei looked at the police officers again and said, "I believe you all know us, right? I, Zhang Ting, am a forensic doctor; he is the renowned new-generation forensic doctor Xiang. We are both government employees. You can't produce any evidence or arrest warrants, so it's not appropriate to arrest people like this, is it?"
