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

Chapter 489 True and False

In fact, Bai Mengfei knew in her heart that Cai'er was not killed by Lian Muchen at all.

There are two reasons why she asked that question right away.

Firstly, she simply wanted to confirm as soon as possible whether Lian Muchen was the killer; she needed a definitive answer. Secondly, she hoped that Lian Muchen would reveal the truth during his defense, thus helping to solve the case quickly.

However, Lian Muchen showed no reaction to this, as if he were detached from it.

Seeing this, Xiang Yuntian immediately asked, "Do you still want to regain your freedom? Perhaps you didn't kill the person, right? Then why won't you tell us?"

Lian Muchen simply shook his head slightly. This subtle gesture seemed to convey a message, as if to say that the two of them simply couldn't understand his situation and thoughts.

Xiang Yuntian understood his meaning and couldn't help but say, "If you don't tell us, of course we can't understand you. Because the possibilities behind this are ever-changing and countless. But if you don't want to be wrongfully imprisoned and become someone else's scapegoat, then from now on, we hope you can cooperate with us. Of course, you have the right to choose not to cooperate, but in the end, you will only harm yourself."

Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's last words, Lian Muchen quickly raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes, and asked, "You two are just forensic doctors, not criminal police officers, how can you help me?"

“You have to tell us the truth first, so we know how to help you. And I hope you can tell us the truth,” Bai Mengfei said seriously, her eyes revealing determination and sincerity.

Lian Muchen's lips curled into a sinister smile, and he said, "Alright, then I can only tell you one thing: this case is not only related to me, but also inseparable from your police force."

"What does this have to do with the police?" A thought immediately flashed through Xiang Yuntian's mind: perhaps there was a problem within the police force.

He then received confirmation from Lian Muchen.

Lian Muchen smiled despairingly and said, "There's a mole in your police force. If I reveal his identity, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."

"Then you should speak up!" Bai Mengfei said urgently. "If you speak up now, he will be the one who dies, not you. You won't have to take the blame for him."

“Alright, then I’ll tell you!” Lian Muchen finally made up his mind. “There’s someone in your police force who is the real murderer. As for me, the reason I know so much, and even went to the scene, is simply because I originally had the intention to kill. As for the reason behind it, I can only say that it’s a tragic love triangle story. Although it’s cliché, it’s still quite convoluted. If you want to hear it, I can tell you.”

"Of course I want to hear!" Just then, a voice came from behind Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian.

The two turned around at the sound and saw Wang Tian hurrying over.

Wang Tian walked up to them, smiled slightly, and said with a hint of arrogance, "See? This is pretty much what I guessed before."

Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, it's somewhat similar to your previous speculation."

After speaking, Xiang Yuntian looked up at Lian Muchen, his eyes filled with anticipation, hoping that he would reveal the whole truth.

Lian Muchen did not disappoint them, and obediently told the truth: "Actually, in my story, many things are a mix of truth and falsehood. Not to mention you are confused, even I am sometimes confused myself."

"What are you confused about?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Lian Muchen continued, "I was also confused. At first, I couldn't see my own identity clearly, and I couldn't understand what I was doing. However, my original intention was good; I just wanted to save people."

Lian Muchen's words sounded like a story, and Wang Tian couldn't help but say, "What exactly happened? Tell me quickly."

“Okay.” Lian Muchen raised his head slightly, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, and said, “This matter has to be traced back to many years ago. Actually, many years ago, Cai’er’s friend was not just me, but also someone else.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but wonder, could he have a split personality?

But she didn't voice her thoughts. Instead, she quietly looked at Lian Muchen, pretending to be all ears.

As Lian Muchen recalled, he continued, "Back then, we both really liked Cai'er. But as we grew up, many people and things changed, and we were no exception. Especially him."

"Will you stop liking her after she grows up?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Lian Muchen shook his head secretly and said in a low voice, "It's not that easy to just dislike someone. It's just that she's become more realistic, and we've also become more realistic because of the pressure of life. We're all working hard to earn money in order to live a better life. And the three of us have chosen different ways to make money."

Hearing this, Wang Tian suddenly had a bold idea and couldn't help but interrupt Lian Muchen: "Is that person in a high position of power? Seeing how afraid you are of him, and how you didn't dare to tell the truth in the interrogation room, I guess he must be a person of high status?"

In fact, Wang Tian wanted to deduce the suspect's identity through this question.

Lian Muchen smiled faintly and said, "That's right."

Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian, and Wang Tian began to secretly speculate about who the suspect hiding behind the scenes was.

What is his identity?

Lian Muchen continued, "After the college entrance exam, the three of us really went our separate ways. I chose to study medicine. After I graduated, I found out that the two of them had been in a relationship, but they had already broken up."

"Have you ever thought about taking advantage of the situation?" Xiang Yuntian still harbored suspicions about Lian Muchen, believing that he might be the murderer, hence the question.

Lian Muchen slowly shook his head and said, "No. Because I can't accept the reason they broke up—that's Cai'er's profession, you understand?"

"Understood." Xiang Yuntian nodded gently.

In fact, no man wants to see the woman he loves fall into depravity. On this point, Xiang Yuntian can understand why Lian Muchen cannot accept Cai'er because of love.

Even if someone's love is selfless, it's hard to stand by and watch the person they deeply love degrade themselves.

Lian Muchen gave a bitter smile and continued, "So, although I loved her very much, we couldn't end up together. However, I continued to silently protect her until that incident happened."

"Wait a minute!" This time it was Bai Mengfei who interrupted him. "You mean, the person who killed Cai'er was her ex-boyfriend, who was also your childhood friend?"
