"Okay!" Xiang Yuntian immediately took out his phone and started taking pictures of the two locations.
The two then began a thorough search of the lobby. After circling the lobby once, they decided to head upstairs.
As they walked upstairs, Bai Mengfei analyzed, "Judging from the situation at the scene, the power here must have been cut off a long time ago due to unpaid electricity bills. That's why the whole building was pitch black when we came here yesterday. And last night, while we were investigating, people kept coming out to interfere with us."
"A person?" Xiang Yuntian added into Bai Mengfei's phone, "Actually, we can't be sure if it was a person or not, after all, those experiences were too bizarre. For example, last night, the forensic doctor Zhang saw a girl running on the third floor, while I saw someone who looked a lot like the deceased security guard walking around on the first floor. So we have every reason to suspect that someone might be deliberately causing trouble behind the scenes."
As they talked, the two of them arrived on the second floor and even went to the place where they had parted ways yesterday.
Standing at the same angle as yesterday, Bai Mengfei looked up at the third floor, then subconsciously glanced at Xiang Yuntian and said earnestly, "Forensic Doctor Xiang, you must stick close to me this time, don't lose me again."
Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly, nodded firmly, and said with certainty, "Don't worry, I definitely won't lose them this time."
"Ah That's good."
So the two of them went to Bai Mengfei’s room where she had experienced the terrifying event the day before, the toilet, and even the broadcasting room, and carefully checked them all.
However, after searching, they found no valuable clues in these places.
Bai Mengfei felt somewhat disappointed and even discouraged. She turned to Xiang Yuntian and said, "This place has obviously been dealt with. I'm afraid we've made a wasted trip."
Xiang Yuntian gently shook his head and encouraged, "Nothing is impossible for a willing heart. Let's look around some more; we might find something."
"Mm!" Bai Mengfei nodded gently.
Just as she nodded, she suddenly saw an elderly woman in a Tang suit walking slowly down the opposite corridor, her back hunched.
Thinking she was hallucinating again, she shook her head and then asked Xiang Yuntian, "Did you see that old lady?"
"An old lady?" Xiang Yuntian looked in the direction she was pointing and muttered, "No, there's no old lady here. Are you seeing things?"
"I can't be mistaken!" Bai Mengfei hurriedly walked over there, calling out as she went, "Grandma, stop right there!"
She walked around in circles until she arrived at the destination, only to find that there was no one there at all. Only then did she realize that something was wrong with her, which was causing her to experience so many hallucinations.
Xiang Yuntian caught up with her just in time and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
She raised her hand, gently tugged at Xiang Yuntian's sleeve, shook her head, and muttered softly, "I'm fine. But I really did see an old lady just now, so I think it's probably something wrong with me?"
“You’ve probably been working too hard on the case lately, why don’t you take a break?” Xiang Yuntian suggested.
Bai Mengfei said firmly, "No! This is definitely not as simple as being too tired from investigating a case. I feel like I've been drugged. Come on, come with me to the hospital for a checkup."
"Okay!" Xiang Yuntian agreed without hesitation.
The two then went to the hospital for a check-up.
The test results showed that both Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian had a chemical substance in their bodies that could induce hallucinations. Doctors deduced that it was most likely ingested orally.
The doctor further explained, "Once this medication enters the body, it's very difficult to completely dilute it. And you didn't just take it once. Think carefully, have you eaten anything unusual recently? I think the root of the problem lies in those foods."
"What did we eat?" Bai Mengfei muttered to herself, thinking that neither she nor Xiang Yuntian had any bad habits, and it was impossible for them to have taken such drugs on their own initiative.
So she looked up at Xiang Yuntian, hoping he could remember what they had eaten in the past two days that had caused this situation.
Xiang Yuntian thought for a moment and said, "We've been eating out a lot these past few days. But that doesn't make sense; we haven't been to the same restaurants."
"Hmm!" Bai Mengfei nodded slightly, her expression extremely serious. "Could it be that someone deliberately followed us and poisoned the food we ate?"
Before Xiang Yuntian could answer, the doctor said, "Then you'd better be extra careful. This drug contains multiple hallucinogenic ingredients. If someone really wants to harm you, that person is likely a skilled pharmacist, otherwise how could they concoct such a drug? Moreover, they can poison you without you even noticing, so you must pay close attention to the people around you when you go out to eat in the future."
Hearing the doctor's kind reminder, Bai Mengfei smiled slightly and said, "Thank you!"
Xiang Yuntian also praised, "I didn't expect to find such a capable doctor like you in a small hospital like yours."
The doctor smiled shyly after being praised by Xiang Yuntian and said modestly, "Not at all, my skills are far inferior to those of the renowned forensic doctors Xiang and Zhang, who are famous throughout the city. Compared to that person who made the drug, I am even more incomparable. That person can make such a drug and do it without anyone noticing; it's truly remarkable."
“Yes, we understand,” Bai Mengfei replied.
After leaving the hospital, Xiang Yuntian said to Bai Mengfei, "How about we skip the restaurant for dinner next time?"
"No. If they really want to harm us, they could poison us even if we just buy a drink. We can't prevent that from happening, we can only face it and adapt to the situation." Bai Mengfei had made up her mind to fight against the person or force lurking in the shadows.
After the two returned to the police station, Zhao Fei called them into his office and inquired about the progress of the case.
Upon learning what had happened, Zhao Fei was also shocked and said in disbelief, "I never expected that he would dare to attack you so blatantly."
Xiang Yuntian sighed and nodded slightly, saying, "I really didn't expect this. In fact, we almost got into trouble. Zhang Jie was so scared that he ran back immediately."
Bai Mengfei pointed out incisively: "I suspect that this was not done by one person, but by an organization. They have a clear division of labor and are well-trained. So this time, what we are dealing with may not be one person, or even one or two people, but a team."
