Chapter 403 Sleepwalking?

However, in the middle of the night, Bai Mengfei faintly heard some noises.

In her half-awake state, she felt as if someone was talking to her.

She forced her tired eyes open and turned her head to find that Qi Han was nowhere to be seen! In an instant, she was completely awake from her dream.

She rolled out of bed, and could still hear people talking. Listening carefully, the voices seemed to be coming from the living room.

Bai Mengfei immediately walked towards the living room. But when she arrived, she found it empty, without a single person in sight.

This is how it happened?

Just as Bai Mengfei was filled with doubt, Qi Han suddenly appeared behind her, startling her so much that she trembled. She frowned, looked at Qi Han suspiciously, and asked softly, "How did you manage to stand behind me so quietly?"

Qi Han was seen raising both hands, looking as if she were sleepwalking.

Bai Mengfei immediately became suspicious.

I clearly heard voices just now. Could sleepwalkers really talk in their sleep? That seems unlikely!

So she deliberately raised her hand and waved it in front of Qi Han's eyes.

Qi Han turned around and walked away, as if she hadn't seen her move at all.

Was Qi Han really sleepwalking, or was she just pretending? Bai Mengfei suddenly had strong suspicions about her, even suspecting that all her previous behavior was an act.

Normally, taking vitamins shouldn't make you this sleepy. But Bai Mengfei clearly remembered that after taking vitamins, she felt incredibly sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

Qi Han groped her way back to the bedroom in the dark, and Bai Mengfei followed.

Upon entering the bedroom, Bai Mengfei saw that Qi Han had already lain back on the bed and had covered herself with a blanket.

Does she really have sleepwalking disorder? Bai Mengfei was full of doubt. She walked over, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out the small bottle of medicine.

The label on the medicine bottle clearly indicated that it contained vitamins.

Bai Mengfei was skeptical, so she carefully poured out the medicine and thoroughly examined it, from its shape and color to its taste.

It does smell like vitamins.

Bai Mengfei poured out another bottle of vitamins to test, and found that the medicine was also fine. She then realized she had been overthinking things, so she lay back down, but didn't fall asleep.

Despite being extremely sleepy, she insisted on sitting next to Qi Han, her eyes fixed on him.

Her gaze was mainly focused on Qi Han's forehead. The scar on Qi Han's forehead was highly suspicious.

Qi Han is clearly lying!

An ordinary person might believe her explanation, but Bai Mengfei would never. As a forensic pathologist, she had examined so many living bodies; how could she possibly misdiagnose such a minor injury?

To confirm again, she reached out to brush Qi Han's bangs aside. But just then, her phone rang. And the caller was an unknown number.

The sudden ringing woke Qi Han up.

Qi Han slowly opened her eyes. Fortunately, Bai Mengfei withdrew her hand in time and sat up straight. She casually took out her phone, looked at the number, and then went outside to answer the call.

"Hello, who is this?" Bai Mengfei asked from the living room.

A gentle yet icy voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's me, Kelly! Yun Tian has woken up, but he still wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei was immediately filled with a myriad of thoughts. Because she truly couldn't leave right now.

She subconsciously turned her head and glanced into the bedroom, then turned back, gripping her phone tightly, and said, "I have something to do right now and it's not convenient for me to go over. Can you take care of him for me?"

“Okay! Then I’ll give him the phone, and you can talk to him yourself, okay?” Kelly asked in a gentle tone.

Bai Mengfei hummed in agreement.

As soon as Xiang Yuntian answered the phone, he asked anxiously, "Are you alright now?"

"Well, it's alright!" Bai Mengfei smiled slightly, but there was a hint of forced smile in her expression. "Anyway, I'm fine."

"Team Leader Zhao said he'd given you leave and asked you to come keep me company. But you didn't come. What are you doing?" Xiang Yuntian asked nervously.

Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment, thinking that there was no need for her to hide anything from Xiang Yuntian. So, without hesitation, she said, "I'm still investigating the case. Shengyang is dead; the news media should have reported it, right?"

"Yes, he is a suspect, and the case is temporarily closed," Xiang Yuntian said.

Bai Mengfei said firmly, "My intuition tells me that Shengyang is not the murderer. He is just one of the victims! Do you believe me?"

"But the news reports..."

Before Xiang Yuntian could finish speaking, Bai Mengfei asked again, "Do you believe me?"

Xiang Yuntian hummed in agreement and said in a solemn tone, "Although all the evidence is currently against Shengyang, and there's no way to corroborate his story, it's reasonable to conclude that he's the murderer. But since you suspect the real culprit is someone else and want to continue the investigation, I will definitely support you! Where are you now? I want to come find you."

Bai Mengfei thought for a moment, considering that Xiang Yuntian's injuries hadn't healed yet, and said, "You should focus on recovering first! I can handle things here on my own. Don't you trust my abilities?"

Xiang Yuntian gave a soft "hmm," and it was clear that he was still somewhat hesitant.

Bai Mengfei had no choice but to decisively hang up the phone. After all, sometimes you have to be ruthless; hesitation only leads to more trouble.

The moment she turned her head, she found Qi Han already standing behind her. Qi Han wore a half-smile on her face.

Bai Mengfei was not frightened by her appearance, but calmly asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Was that a call from your lover?" Qi Han asked.

Bai Mengfei smiled faintly and said, "They're colleagues!" After saying that, she went back to her room on her own.

Qi Han followed her in and suddenly sat down beside her without a word. Bai Mengfei was very curious about Qi Han's strange behavior, turned to look at her, and asked with a smile, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing!" Qi Han said, staring straight at the bed.

Bai Mengfei still found her cold expression somewhat frightening, so she gently nudged her arm and said, "Don't scare me, okay?"

"I didn't mean to scare you! It's just that I'm having trouble concentrating." Qi Han said, turning her head. Her face did look unusually dazed and confused.

Bai Mengfei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I think you're tired. You should get some rest."
