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

Chapter 434 Warning

These words were laced with sarcasm and a hint of threat.

Bai Mengfei paused, slowly turning her head to look intently at the other woman, carefully scrutinizing her expression. Bai Mengfei was filled with doubt; what exactly did she want? Was she deliberately trying to cause trouble?

Seeing that Bai Mengfei was staring at her, Wang Tian walked straight over, sneering as she went, "Heh, you're really something, managing to have dinner with three men at the same time and laughing so happily. The sound of your giggling even reached my room; it was hard not to hear it."

Bai Mengfei's face darkened, and she asked coldly, "So what?"

"So what?" Wang Tian turned her head away dismissively and said, "I don't want anything, I just feel that there are some truths that forensic doctor Xiang has the right to know."

"If you want to say it, then say it. There's no need to tell me. I believe he'll understand that I did this entirely on official business." Bai Mengfei didn't want to argue with her anymore, so she turned around and walked to the dining table to start cleaning up the mess.

Feeling that she had been rebuffed, Wang Tian returned to her room dejectedly.

In the dead of night, Bai Mengfei was half asleep when she suddenly heard a strange noise coming from outside.

But at this moment, she felt as if her body was frozen in place, unable to move. This feeling was like the legendary "sleep paralysis," where she was half-asleep and unable to control her body.

In a state between dreaming and waking, she vaguely smelled a peculiar scent filling the room; upon closer inspection, it resembled the fragrance of datura. A chill ran down her spine—could someone be trying to harm them?

Thinking of this, she tried with all her might to pry open her heavy eyelids. However, her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open them. After a futile struggle, she finally fell into a deep sleep again, completely unaware of what happened afterward.

At 8:10 a.m. the next morning, Bai Mengfei finally woke up. Before she even opened her eyes, she remembered what had happened in the middle of the night. She sat up abruptly and quickly looked around. Her intuition told her that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room.

She quickly got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and hurried out of the room into the living room. As soon as she stepped inside, she saw several large, crooked red characters on the once pristine white wall. Judging from the handwriting, it was clear the writer had deliberately tried to conceal their work.

Bai Mengfei stood quietly by the wall, staring at the large characters, and involuntarily whispered, "You want to die!"

She was standing there lost in thought when Wang Tian's door suddenly opened. Wang Tian had just gotten up and was about to go to the bathroom. As soon as she stepped out of the room and saw the words on the wall, her face turned deathly pale, and she screamed in terror, instinctively taking a step back.

Then, she stared at Bai Mengfei's back with disbelief, perhaps still wondering if Bai Mengfei had written those words.

Upon hearing the scream, Bai Mengfei slowly turned her head and said calmly, "It's nothing, just a prank."

In truth, she knew this was far more than a prank; it was a blatant threat. After all, she had indeed smelled something like datura last night, but no one grew datura here, so it was likely some kind of fragrance.

Just as she was lost in her memories, Wang Tian slowly walked over and said worriedly, "But who would play such a prank here? Could it be the three of them? They shouldn't be so reckless; this would scare people to death."

"Maybe it's just those three who lacked discretion. We'll find out later by asking them," Bai Mengfei said.

After having breakfast, the two went upstairs together.

The three people were still fast asleep. Bai Mengfei pressed the doorbell so many times it almost broke before Mu Zhen vaguely heard the sound and came to open the door.

Upon seeing the two of them, Mu Zhen couldn't help but smile and ask, "What are you doing here so early?"

"It's already past nine o'clock, you three should be up by now. We have something to ask you," Wang Tian said coldly.

Mu Zhen looked completely bewildered. After waking Xu Zu and Wang Dou, he followed Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian downstairs. When they saw the words on the wall, all three of them showed expressions of surprise and insisted that they hadn't done it.

In an instant, a sense of fear welled up in Wang Tian's heart. She felt as if a pair of eyes were staring intently at them in the darkness, and that person was very likely the real murderer of that family massacre.

So Wang Tian said to the three of them, "If you really did this, then just admit it honestly."

However, all three of them still vehemently denied it.

Seeing Wang Tian's pale face, Mu Zhen finally stepped forward and said, "Alright, I admit it, I did it."

"You did this?" Wang Dou and Xu Zu stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Mu Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "I want to pursue them, so I wanted to deliberately scare them so that they would come to us on their own. What's wrong with that?"

Wang Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to Mu Zhen, and said angrily, "Aren't you being too childish?"

Bai Mengfei quietly observed Mu Zhen's reaction. Her intuition told her that Mu Zhen's reason for stepping forward to admit it might be for another reason, and that he probably did not do it.

After Wang Tian drove the three away, Wang Dou and Xu Zu began to berate Mu Zhen.

"Now look what happened!" Wang Dou glared at Mu Zhen. "You wanted to pursue them, but now it's all ruined. What were you doing?"

Xu Zu also said, "No, you did it, so why admit it?"

"I saw that Officer Wang was quite frightened, so I confessed to avoid her overthinking and getting scared to death," Mu Zhen explained.

Wang Dou looked at him helplessly for a while, then suddenly seemed to think of something and said, "That's not right, Mu Zhen. Given your usual character, would you really do something like this? This doesn't seem like your usual kind-hearted person."

"Alright, stop asking," Mu Zhen said impatiently. With that, he hurried towards the stairs.

Xu Zu was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up and asked, "Mu Zhen, you didn't happen to take the blame for those two girls because you saw how scared they were, did you?"

After catching up with Mu Zhen, Xu Zu said seriously, "You can't just take the blame for this. If you take the blame out of kindness, it might embolden the real culprit. If there really is someone else with impure motives, those two will be in danger."

Mu Zhen stopped, frowned, and turned to look at Xu Zu. His eyes revealed a hint of agreement; clearly, he thought Xu Zu made sense.
