Chapter 416 Unexpected Discovery
Chapter 416 Unexpected Discovery
Linghu Bin said to Qi Han, "Because I have some secret dealings with them!"
Bai Mengfei, who had been listening intently, suddenly felt as if she had been struck hard on the neck by something heavy. In an instant, she saw stars, felt a sharp pain in her head, and then her consciousness began to blur before she fainted.
When she slowly woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
She slowly opened her eyes, and the village chief's familiar face came into view.
"Village chief, what are you doing here?" Bai Mengfei asked with a hint of doubt.
The village chief sighed helplessly before saying, "I'm the one who saved you! You collapsed outside Linghu Bin's house, and luckily I was with you the whole time. Otherwise, you might be in serious trouble by now!"
"Oh! I see. I don't remember very well!" Bai Mengfei slowly sat up, raised her right hand, and gently covered her still somewhat painful neck.
Then, she stared at the village chief and asked, "So, Linghu Bin didn't find us, did he?"
"No!" the village chief replied firmly.
Bai Mengfei nodded slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good!"
Then, the village chief advised Bai Mengfei, "Actually, this case is quite dangerous! Why don't you go back and stop investigating?"
"Why not investigate? I must get to the bottom of this! Even if it costs me my life, I will find out the truth!" Bai Mengfei said firmly.
Seeing her resolute attitude, the village chief said, "Alright then! But you must be careful. By the way, Linghu Bin usually goes back to the primary school to teach. If you really want to continue investigating, you can go to the school later. I think there are many people there, so he shouldn't dare to easily make a move against you."
"Mmm!" Bai Mengfei responded softly and nodded.
After the village chief left, Bai Mengfei began to ponder: Who was the person who attacked her last night? It shouldn't have been Linghu Bin!
After thinking for a while, Bai Mengfei resolutely got up and headed to the school, intending to conduct her investigation there. She knew she couldn't enter through the main gate, as that would attract too much attention.
So, as a forensic doctor, she actually climbed over the school wall to enter the school.
Upon entering the school, she found the campus filled with the sound of students reading aloud, as it was during class time. She carefully and quietly made her way through the corridor, heading in the direction where Linghu Bin was.
At this moment, Linghu Bin was concentrating on grading homework in his office.
Bai Mengfei thought to herself: Linghu Bin might have hidden something important in this office, so she decided to go in and find out.
However, Linghu Bin was in his office at that moment, making it extremely difficult to get in and investigate.
So all she can do now is wait.
She only had a chance to sneak in after Linghu Bin left the office.
Just then, a female teacher walked by. Bai Mengfei reacted quickly, running to the end of the corridor and hiding behind the wall.
After the female teacher entered Linghu Bin's office, she said to him, "Hey, Teacher Linghu, that's really strange!"
"What's wrong, Teacher Zhou?" Linghu Bin asked, looking up.
"I think I just saw someone outside peeping at you!"
Linghu Bin immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Really? Someone's peeking at me like this?"
"I'm not quite sure either," Teacher Zhou said with a smile, shaking her head. "Maybe I misread it? By the way, the principal is looking for you!"
After saying that, Teacher Zhou turned and left.
Linghu Bin hesitated for a moment, then left the office. He didn't think much of it, never expecting Bai Mengfei to return. He was still planning to leave with Qi Han once things calmed down.
As soon as Linghu Bin left, Bai Mengfei secretly sneaked into his office.
Linghu Bin's desk had three drawers, two of which were unlocked, but the drawer against the wall was locked, and Bai Mengfei didn't have the key. Suddenly, she remembered seeing Liu Yang pick a lock before, so she took out her hairpin and tried to unlock it.
Surprisingly, after turning the lock a few times by feel, it actually opened.
She squatted down in front of the drawer and gently pulled it open. Inside were some loose change, a pile of documents, and a notebook.
She casually picked up the notebook, flipped through it, and found nothing unusual inside; it was just a collection of notes for preparing lessons for her students.
Just as she was about to put the notebook back, she inadvertently flipped to a page and was shocked to find the "death triangle" drawing. She was startled: how could he have drawn that in his notebook? This couldn't be a coincidence!
Therefore, Bai Mengfei became even more certain: it seems that this case is very likely the work of Linghu Bin!
Just then, Bai Mengfei found another picture among the pile of documents. The picture looked very much like a treasure map, but Bai Mengfei couldn't understand it for the moment. She wanted to put the picture away, but worried that Linghu Bin would find it, so she had no choice but to put it back where it was.
After closing the drawer, she hurriedly left the office. Shortly after she left, Linghu Bin returned. As soon as he got back, he opened the drawer and checked it. Finding that everything inside seemed to be untouched, he was relieved.
Meanwhile, Bai Mengfei had returned to the banana grove. She hurriedly called Zhao Fei: "Hey, Captain Zhao, I've found evidence of Linghu Bin's crimes! I saw the Triangle of Death design in his drawer! It looks like he designed it! I think I'll be able to find out the truth soon!"
Zhao Fei said, "So you went back to the village again! Why didn't you answer my calls these past two days? Do you know how worried Xiang Yuntian was about you!"
"Oh! I understand!" Bai Mengfei replied calmly. "Then you can have him come over now, and you come too! We need to work together to arrest Linghu Bin!"
“Okay, I’ll inform him right away!” Zhao Fei replied.
Bai Mengfei was completely unaware that a pair of eyes were watching her intently from behind. And that person was none other than the village chief.
Back in the house the village chief had lent her, Bai Mengfei was still pondering to herself: "How could this investigation have gone so smoothly? And that blueprint alone probably isn't enough to be considered conclusive evidence, is it? Perhaps I need to gather more evidence. For example, how did he plan that murder? And why did he kill Li Zhijie and the others as well?"
So she made a decision: to keep waiting! She would go to Linghu Bin's house again tomorrow when he went to class, and maybe she would find something new.
That night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep, longing for dawn. Finally, at nine o'clock the next morning, she went to Linghu Bin's house to begin a new round of investigation.
Upon arriving at Linghu Bin's house, she immediately pushed open the door and went inside.
But then a voice came from inside the house: "Ah Bin, is that you back?"
Bai Mengfei immediately stopped in her tracks, only then realizing that Qi Han was still at home! She had completely overlooked this.
Just then, Qi Han came out.
Bai Mengfei had no time to hide and had no choice but to face Qi Han directly. Upon seeing Bai Mengfei, Qi Han was even more panicked than Bai Mengfei herself. She frowned and asked Bai Mengfei, "What are you doing here?"
