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

Chapter 406 Guilt

Bai Mengfei couldn't help but feel puzzled, as she felt this was illogical.

Even if the village has limited resources, they should have arranged a slightly better place for Linghu Bin to stay.

The kind-hearted man seemed to sense her confusion and explained, "This was Linghu's own request. Our village is poor, and he didn't want to cause trouble for everyone. Seeing that there were quite a few abandoned houses here, he decided to stay here. He said he wanted some peace and quiet, but we all know that he genuinely didn't want to cause any trouble or make a big fuss."

"What a rare and excellent teacher!" Even Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but exclaim.

The older man nodded in agreement and said, "That's right! Hey, we're almost there!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei and the others looked up and saw that there seemed to be lights flickering in front of them, but they were dim yellow lights that appeared rather weak in the darkness.

In this day and age, it's quite surprising that someone would still use such a small light bulb to illuminate their life. This struck Xiang Yuntian as very novel.

"I really admire him. If it were me, I couldn't stand being in this kind of environment for even a day. The light is so dim, and it looks like there are a lot of mosquitoes," Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but comment.

As they were talking, the three of them arrived at the door of the house, led by the older brother.

The man stepped forward, raised his right hand, and gently knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock!"

After three knocks, the door slowly opened.

The man who appeared before everyone was about twenty-seven years old. He was tall and thin, wore glasses, and exuded a gentle and refined air.

He spotted Qi Han in the middle of the group immediately, a curious look on his face. He looked at Qi Han and asked, "How did you find this place? Come in and sit down."

Qi Han asked in surprise, "Your family is so rich, why did you come here?"

Everyone looked around the house. Although it was old and dilapidated and small, it was spotless and impeccably clean. Could Linghu Bin really be the murderer?

Xiang Yuntian thought to himself: If he really is the murderer, given his style of doing things, he must have meticulously planned every detail.

Therefore, whether he is the murderer or not, it seems that the possibility is about 50/50.

Guided by Linghu Bin, the three sat down, while the man who had brought them there took his leave.

As soon as the door closed, Linghu Bin stepped aside to pour water for the three of them, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect any guests to come. I only have two cups at home."

"It's alright, I'm not thirsty," Bai Mengfei said.

Linghu Bin then went over and poured two cups of tea for Xiang Yuntian and Qi Han. The cups were a very ordinary and inexpensive style, but they were cleaned very thoroughly.

Although the small room was old and cramped, its cleanliness and tidiness gave Xiang Yuntian and his companions a unique feeling.

Before Xiang Yuntian and the others could even ask a question, Linghu Bin spoke first: "Xiaohan, these two are your friends, right? Hmm, why did you suddenly come here to find me?"

Qi Han quickly replied, "They are both forensic doctors. Actually, my husband Shengyang has already passed away. They are now in charge of investigating my husband's case and want to find the murderer as soon as possible."

When he heard the news of Shengyang's death, Linghu Bin reacted with some agitation, "What? How did he die?"

Bai Mengfei felt there was no need to hide anything, so she told the truth: "He accidentally fell onto the tracks and was crushed to death by the high-speed train. But I don't believe that explanation. I always felt that this case was not that simple, and there must be someone manipulating it behind the scenes. Even if that person is hiding in the shadows, we will definitely bring him to justice."

"Oh!" Linghu Bin quickly calmed down. "If that's the case, then we really need to find the murderer properly and we absolutely cannot let the murderer get away with it."

"Hmm." Bai Mengfei responded softly, then stared intently at Linghu Bin, trying to discern from his expression whether he was lying.

Linghu Bin noticed Bai Mengfei's gaze and deliberately asked with a smile, "Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?"

Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment, then shifted her gaze and said with a smile, "No, it's just that I rarely see someone as handsome as you."

This statement surprised both Qi Han and Xiang Yuntian. They didn't know that this was just an excuse Bai Mengfei made up, and they thought that Bai Mengfei really had feelings for Linghu Bin.

Seeing that the two of them were looking at her suspiciously, Bai Mengfei smiled and explained, "Don't overthink it. I just think he's good-looking from an aesthetic point of view."

Xiang Yuntian then said "Oh" and generously replied, "I understand. Actually, I also think Teacher Linghu is quite handsome."

Linghu Bin quickly said, "No, no, I just have the appearance of an ordinary person, my features are very ordinary."

Seeing that their discussion had strayed from the topic, and knowing that she was in a hurry to go back and didn't want to spend the night there, Qi Han said, "Actually, we came all this way here not to discuss Teacher Linghu's appearance."

Bai Mengfei then realized what was happening, smiled slightly, and said, "Oh right! Actually, we came here this time because of something else."

"What is it?" Linghu Bin asked with concern.

Bai Mengfei didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "We now suspect that you are involved in this murder case, and you are very likely the murderer."

“Impossible!” Linghu Bin immediately retorted. “I should have been able to find an alibi when the incident occurred. Since I came here, I’ve been teaching here almost every day and haven’t gone anywhere else. The villagers can all testify for me. Even if I took leave, it was because I was sick, but I still stayed home to prepare my lessons.”

Hearing Linghu Bin's explanation, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian could only believe him for the time being. They nodded in agreement and smiled, saying, "We believe you."

The two were so in sync that they could say the same thing at the same time, without a single mistake.

After they finished speaking, they turned around at the same time and smiled at each other.

The tense and awkward atmosphere gradually eased.

Linghu Bin was silent for a moment, then said, "I really don't understand why you would suspect me. I've always thought I was law-abiding."

Bai Mengfei nodded, but did not speak or express her opinion.

To calm Linghu Bin down, Xiang Yuntian said, "This is just the investigation stage. We won't accuse you of being the murderer, and we won't wrong you."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Han, who was sitting next to him, apologized with a face full of guilt: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me. I told the forensic doctor Zhang about what happened between us, so she suspected that you killed my husband."
